>Getting that KPI as close to 0 as possible (and we did hit zero every few months) was a goal that everyone had bought into

So what corners used to get cut to meet that target? What extra costs were incurred?
There was a time when some writers would take long journeys on cargo ships because there were so few distractions available to divert their attention from writing. I have a vague memory of reading about specific examples (Haley? Michener?) years ago but can't find any with a quick search.
> It’s racism

It's elitism, France's hate of foreigners is not founded on skin colour or heritage (e.g. both your parents can be French and if your French is bad, you get treated poorly anyway).
The Georgia invasion happened for the same reason. NATO invited Ukraine and Georgia in 2008, they were never under threat before. NATO should just leave countries on Russian border as neutral

But I am sure after invading the entire Middle East NATO members are running out of countries to feel threatened in
I wonder what happened if they hired some author to write an original piece, and put that on eprom in their cartridges, and then have the printer verify that piece.. then an alternative toner would have to copy this copyrighted work to make it work ?
I ran into some issues these past 2 years. Lost my firm. My friends are always wondering why I'm always happy. I consider it my super power.
Thank you for your response!

It's supposed to be either edit with code or edit with UI. The UI is supposed to provide one with more flexibility in terms of input options.

Instead of a text file, you can have a canvas to arrange your code on. You can put methods side by side and pan between them, see the relationships between them, put stickies on them, highlight statement background to any color to make it more visible.

You can put statements side by side to use more h-space on your screen.

The UI diagram is not very essential but it gives us the surface area to do such things.

Yes, we plan to add plugins that will allow side by side ui previews, another benefit of going ui first is we can do things like draw overlaid arrows to show the user which part of the code binds to which part of the UI in the preview.

These will be library specific plugins that can use ex. a set of annotations to allow the library to integrate certain of its features within the UI. We are thinking about ways to make this easy to implement for libraries.

__________________________

If you zoom out, we can provide higher level views. You can say right click-> tag a set of methods/fields with a tag and use the tags to filter what is visible in the view.

Do I make sense to you? :)
Pure stats work in circumstances that are repeatable, easily quantifiable and where you have a huge dataset to learn from past experience. That's why baseball is such a perfect example. It's just not so easy to measure how good someone is at solving novel problems, compared to how well they can hit or throw a ball in perfectly repeatable circumstances.
No, nothing special about N++ (well, lookahead, but many regex engines have that). Repeated Search+Replace is the key, and not part of regex.
I remember using a laptop with Home/End/PgUp/PgDown on Fn + arrow keys. Using those felt very natural. I wish it was more common so I could have the same on my desktop keyboard.

How about extremely poor white people, from terrible backgrounds? Are they intrinsically happier because they are white? And so they get better jobs?

How about asians and indian backgrounds who are richer than whites despite being minorities? Should we make them unhappier in your opinion or just discriminate against them?

Really? That is your point? From this article, you got... racism. Congrats.

- Was the septic system dedicated to your house or shared

Twitter played well in the impulse control game and unfortunately won over many people. Crafting a blog post takes way more effort compared to a rant like loosely connected stream of tweets.
People being what they are, of course that the result wasn't perfect. But compared to the previous 150 years of intermittent religiously motivated wars, some of them fairly long (the 30 Year War really took 30 years from start to finish), Westphalian peace was a major improvement in quality of life. In 1648, many regions of Central Europe were essentially depopulated by the incessant fighting and looting.
I don't have a Twitter account, but I view posts and threads simply by opening Twitter links in a private browser window. Does that not work for you all?
This post does not seem to add any value, unfortunately.
I would do the same for all the paywall links, there are really a lot of HN lately.
So much is hidden over the last 50-80 years.
So much is hidden now.
Aaah of course, thanks
I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not, but this is a terrible idea. A family is driving on the highway. Kids are fighting in the back seat. The mother, who is driving, turns her head and tells them to stop. The car is rear-ended by a dump truck, and all three are dead.
We don't need "crypto" but we do need Bitcoin.

Then it turns out that the worries of an authoritarian overreach would be fulfilled by Trudeau to the North instead? Who's writing this script? M. Night Shyamalan?

> Meanwhile, plenty of American commentators are cheering this on. Those terrible, horrible, no-good, very-bad truckers got what they deserved! To protest for a repeal of pandemic restrictions, so as to live the life enjoyed in Denmark by a population less vaccinated than the Canadians? That's clearly beyond the pale!
Except 2 things:

1. Kubernetes manifests require "requests" to be specified. (mem/CPU allocation)

2. Getting 100 VMs identical is not difficult on the cloud.

The point I'm making is that you've already abstracted a lot of the things away with Cloud, and we abstract the same exact things even more on top of kubernetes.

If K8S was running on bare metal I'd agree with you though.

A 6 digit code is ok for 2FA. It’s not good enough for single factor auth like this. There’s not enough entropy & it could be brute forced.
I like Shaw's quote, and it probably summarises much of his life experience at the time.

I'd also like to argue that I think it should be possible to be happy, reasonable, and change the world for the better. Not easy perhaps, and persistence is still required, but doable.
That mirrors some of my experience of Java vs a repl heavy Python habit, BUT — this misses the experience of diving into and reading unfamiliar or new codebases. For me, this is where the chunky type system and regularity of even the worst maintained Java codebases really shines.
I think I must be missing something in this discussion but my 2014 Golf came with auto-wipers, auto-headlights on, auto-rear view mirror dimming and auto-full beam dipping.

Isn’t this a solved problem and completely standard on most new cars for a few years now?
I am not sure how to compare relative strength of Apple and NL, but they seem to be rather formidable entities. One certainly cannot bend the other to their will easily.
There are some posts where Twitter is the primary source. Banning Twitter outright isn't a solution for this type of situation.
Business as Unusual: How to train when expertise becomes outdated
I feel like my Java skills improved greatly after switching to kotlin, because it made me realize how much more code I'd have to write for the code to be nice. The simplest example would be "val x = ..." vs "final String x = ...". Sometimes I just wouldn't bother with the "final" keyword, but now I cannot let mutability ruin my code.
I'd much rather we ban paywalled links.
Another anecdotal data on the effect of alcohol : I use a Garmin watch constantly, and it measure what they call Body Battery,(https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=VOFJAsiXut9K19k1qEn5W5) which is a proxy for overall energy level, based on Heart Rate Variability and stress levels.

It's not the most scientific and precise measurement, but from my experience is seems to correlate pretty well with actual 'feeling energized and well' or 'feeling tired and out of energy'.

One of the most interesting information I got from it was how drinking alcohol affects my sleep : on a typical day, I go from 100 to 25, and then a night of sleep gets me back to 100.
If I drink even moderately, a night of sleep gets me back to 50 max, and sometimes can even pin down my body battery levels for a few days if it's a long drinking night.

I'm disappointed by what Twitter has become and wish this could happen.

But sometimes the content is relevant or innovative; not sure it's fair to expect HN to take a principled stance against the platform.

How about a preference that hides Twitter submissions? Half the time I skip them anyway or hit Back before the site finishes loading. If enough readers move along, perhaps it would incentivize publishers to as well.
Depends if it shows up on your criminal record and with what consequences.
Doesnt the HN voting system kind of take care of this problem? If the tweet is low-quality, not important, then it wont get many upvotes.

But if the tweet is highly important, has information people believe is valuable etc - then it gets upvoted towards the top of HN.

An outright ban on tweets also creates a secondary problem; what if there was some single tweet that was extremely important to the HN community. The inability to post it means people miss out on the news/discussion, until later on when it is re-submitted as a news story elsewhere.
I'd consider that a defect and return it.
Hasn't happened yet. A regular job at work involves kicking off a process that spreads itself across 100 nodes and takes a week, munching through tens of terabytes of data. Even at home I'm processing 30GB-sized datasets, which understandably takes a couple of hours. And editing an hour-long video means a lengthy stage of thumb-twiddling.

I think if computers were faster, we would simply invent new tasks that take a long time with them.
That depends a little.

For every day use - since the first SSD I've not really had problems.

For games - I'm not usually one to chase fresh AAA titles, so either my 2008ish Core 2 Duo or my 2012 i5. That were 4 years and then I only upgraded in 2019 after 7 years, while still using the machine mostly for games.

Work is a whole different thing though. From 2013-2017 I had an i7 (laptop), which was kinda fine as I was "only" doing Java, Python, ops stuff etc - so a huge SSD and a lot of RAM were more important. End of 2017 I started doing mostly C++ and they gave me an i5 laptop, I hated every minute of it because of the compile times. Now I'm not doing so much C++ and now an i5 is fine again.
> There are many free blog posting platforms out there that don't annoy users like that and — needless to say — are in a much more readable format.

That is of no significance if the content you want to share is not on those platforms and you did not make the content.
I’d recommend buying the panel, eDP cable, and driver board from the same seller. I posted my experience doing the same above. Of course you could take a chance with random components and it’ll probably work as long as the connectors match, but why bother when Chinese vendors are willing to do the legwork for you?

You don’t need a 3D printer if you have another way to hold the panel (I glued it to a thin laptop stand)
Complexity Has to Live Somewhere (2020)
Exactly, that is my personal feeling as well. I'd rather prefer to spend the extra time understanding the solution instead of just copy-pasting and adapting the first Stack Overflow answer.

In fact, one of the most striking things I encountered in Github issues, Stack Overflow, etc... is the amount of people who simply try something, works for them and they share it like some sacred solution, but when asked why that works, they shrug and cannot provide an answer. And there is a sea of validated answers just like that in those platforms.

My fear is that we are slowly rolling down a hill in which IT ultimately becomes less of an empirical industry and everything comes down to trying until it works (without the proper understanding), because it is magic.

Yes, sometimes (if not most of the time) developers are in a rush and have no extra time to spend on understanding a solution, so it is much better to slam a copy-pasted code and move on. Still, this should not be the way to go...
I guess, I kind of view this, and most modern developments, as the same tack-on that always happened with online games. You can no longer play according to the original/actual mechanics because even the avatars become treated as real by the socially invested, but you can't treat it as real because the game mechanics and lack of enforced security mean its "laws" are a social farce atop simple game mechanics.
What about rewriting links to Nitter?

As a submitter I have no control over the platform the original content is published on.
> My experience is that it’s mostly cultural, and often comes down to whether the person you’re speaking to has themself had to try using a foreign language, thus gaining the empathy to help you out.

I think another part is how much diversity there is in speakers of the language and the common dialects.

For example, there's a very large number of Spanish speakers worldwide with a very wide variety of accents and dialects, plus large numbers of non-native speakers. That also applies to English, but doesn't apply so much to French (not that there's zero variety, but compare the content of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_dialects_and_varieties, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dialects_of_English and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varieties_of_French).

Because of all that linguistic variety, if you're an English or Spanish speaker you're generally more accustomed to hearing different pronunciations of your own language day to day than French speakers are (on average, YMMV, etc).

I lived in Romania at one point, where this was even more obvious. There are comparatively few distinct dialects of Romanian, and most Romanians have never heard non-native speakers speaking their language, so no matter how friendly they were, understanding unusual (OK, wrong) pronunciation was just not a common skill.
Somebody linked to nitter the other day (As an alternative to a twitter post) -- maybe thats what we should require-- if you must post a twitter link, please use nitter or similar
Ha - as a kid I definitely didn't pick up on that. I just enjoyed collecting wonders and watching all the videos. The UN one was great. I loved the videos from Alpha Centauri too, another Sid Meier contribution. Wonderful games (pun very much intended).
I used to have the same misgivings with Twitter threads being linked, but after discovering Privacy Redirect¹ (and Privacy Redirect for Safari²)—which automatically redirects Twitter links to a alternative Twitter frontend (like Nitter)—Twitter threads are much nicer to read.

You don't get to decide for others where they are writing, and you don't get to decide for others what they are upvoting on HN.

There aren't many Twitter submissions, at least on the front page.

Get over it, nobody forces you to click on a Twitter link. There are plenty of other submissions.

There’s something liberating about saying “here’s a link”, as opposed to taking the time to formulate your thoughts into a full blown posting.

We were curious if this twitter-effect was real, imaginary or only applicable to lazy people like us.. Thanks to python-twitter and a few lines of script we can look at the the blogging habits of some info-sec superstars (and maybe confuse correlation and causation to jump to conclusions while we at it).

On my 2015 MacBook Pro, ⌘+[arrow keys] are respectively mapped to home/end/PgUp/PgDn. That's how I live. In fact I find this interface easier to use than the discrete home/end/PgUp/PgDn keys on my external keyboard, since I have to look at the keyboard to find those as they're not near the home row.

Since employment is one of the main sources of unhappiness I assume this will create an oscillating state of happy unemployed - unhappy employed people perpectually in and out of jobs as their happiness dips below a certain threshold.

Really? For me, password sync just works in my browser without any adding or anything. Just had to log in once when I got each device. I use Firefox, but I would be surprised if it was more difficult on other browsers.
Got a Sony OLED (has all that Google TV stuff), connected the TV for a software update, then disable all network connections and plug in an Apple TV. I had a Samsung before that started showing me ads, which was from my point of view a huge violation of my private space and my home (it's a TV that I fully bought, and not a cheap one). Bought the Apple TV, before getting the new Sony and also disabled everything on the Samsung.
IMO it should be configurable per user.

Not only twitter, but all social media, paywalls, politics, etc.

Also HN desperately lacking tags: I only interested in couple of tech stacks/protocols and several problem domains/verticals - why do I need sift through all these unrelevant submissions?
We should have used the opportunity for something like Minsk II. The current strategy of threats is clearly not working.
No it's not weird the article is so circumspect, it's the difference between British and US journalism. a) If an accused was to be charged, media allegations could be used by them at trial. b) The UK is the most libel-friendly jurisdiction on the planet. (Look how the widespread allegations about Jimmy Savile since the 1970s didn't get reported till he died). c) Since Ali reportedly didn't gain from his operation, he seems unlikely to be able to be charged with anything higher than (allegedly) avoiding paying minimum wage, employee taxes, violations of companies laws, reckless trading. (Whether he intentionally caused his alleged victims to lose anything could be extremely hard to prove, what if he really believed his own spiel.) d) The UK Serious Fraud Office is extremely unlikely to touch this one, since there wasn't any real money involved, let alone major sums. But even if they were to, they have a track record of debacles, such as the 2021 reversal of the corruption verdict for Ziad Akle. e) Then a possible scenario is the peson about whom allegations were reported sues for libel.

Flagging would be better than nothing, I guess. But it's not enough IMO.

My main problem with Twitter is the UI, which is bad in general and terrible for long posts (threads). The second problem is the "culture" of posting outrage and low quality content in general, often full of typos (due to Twitter being a mobile-centric platform). Requiring credentials is just the last straw.

So I think a stronger deterrent is needed. If not a ban, lowering the score for Twitter-link submissions (each vote counts 0.5 votes)?
One tip is to replace twitter.com in the URL with nitter.net. But I realise that isn’t a great solution. I think one must accept that, annoying as the platform may be, Twitter is the place where many discussions of interest to HN happen and so I think it ought to be acceptable to link it. One could imagine an alternative where people post buzzfeed-style blog posts that merely repost Twitter threads and I think that would be worse.
>Laws exist because we, as a society, decided that we want to live by a certain set of rules. If the rules are not upheld, law becomes less useful.

Laws exist because someone can enforce it on someone else. That's it. Case in point, Prohibition.

You can sprinkle the platitudes of society and culture, but neither should be the basis for whether a law is valid.

>Regarding punishments, I think they generally ought to be the lightest possible punishment that forces compliance. Two things follow from that. One, that a punishment must be tailored to the infringer. If the infringer has a lot of money, the fines need to match. Two, that means subsequent punishments for the same infraction _necessarily_ must be harsher. The lesser punishment didn't work last time, so it must be increased.

One should also question as to whether the law in place is justifiable. The Dutch court is compelling a business relationship that didn't previously exist. In doing so, it is forcing Apple to take on a cost/responsibility that it never agreed to in the first place. Enforcing an invented obligation is not a just cause to fine a company or anybody for that matter.

In my experience - not all unproductive people are complainers - but almost all complainers are not productive.

The productive people are proactive and start making change rather than complain.
