You're comparing a 10+ year old company with a company that has a product in beta. I don't think this is a valid comparison. I'm sure they'll provide enterprise level contracts and support for large installation at some point.
Stockholm, Sweden has an open district heating network: buildings can not only buy heat from it for heating, like a normal district heating network, they can also sell surplus heat to the network. At least two data centers (Bahnhof Thule and Bahnhof Pionen) sell heat from their heat exchangers to the network.

Ask HN: Why do we put up with the corruption of the word “algorithm”?
When people use the phrase in pop media, they usually mean something like "recommendation engine". Sure, it probably has some sort of novel algorithm involved, but you could just as well call it a "program". It doesn't sufficiently describe what you think you're describing.

It's a very broad and basic term, and now lay people are given the impression that the word means some sort of AI. They sometimes even half-jokingly talk about "The Algorithm" as some sort of mystical force.

I'm shocked that I'm basically the only computer person I know of who complains about this. No math people either! And at this point tech people seem to be misusing it.

I know this is a waste of energy and "algorithm" will go the way of "literally" but I don't want to go down without a fight.
I think Xanadu's business plan here was to only host works by authors who were willing to contractually permit unrestricted transclusion and get paid for it. I agree that the setup would tax fair use, but I'm sure that wouldn't have prevented it from being financially viable or legal. Not shipping a working product is what prevented that.
Warp engineer here. Thanks for your note, glad to hear from a fellow engineer in this space! While there's a lot of great software that's free, the terminal is a tool tens of millions of developers use everyday - and there's a lot of value in this space.

How can I learn more about your project?

Btw, we are hiring! ;)
Of course "moderate" is relative. But relative to what?

Relative to your ideology.

You'd be tall in Nigeria relative to the median height.

You'd be a moderate in the US and a radical in Saudi Arabia relative to the prevailing ideology.
Most of the verified users are journalists, who do lean left. I don't think that says anything about the overall user base of twitter.
Maybe I'll get a lot of downvotes. I just write my opinion, maybe I'm wrong. It's clearly a certain number of people in Ukraine sympathize Russia. Yes it seems that more sympathize The West in the latest times, but this is not much of an overwhelming majority. From that majority has some small group of nationalist. And there are detailed recordings of their bloody crimes. Maybe sometimes Russian media exaggerates it, but you can't say that was no crimes. Western countries have never condemned any of these crimes. The Us could give just one guaranty to not accept Ukraine(maybe even for some time) in NATO to prevent war. And western media have many confirmed fakes too. And Zelensky not very different from dictatorship from the point of view of a simple person. He was banned many tv media and parties in Ukraine. It is difficult to clearly value the actions of the rulers. We don't have so much information that they have on their level. Government does not consist of one person. Sometimes what we think is dictatorship is necessary to save the country. In Crimea for example most people really prefer Russia and speak russian. Minsk agreements could be least damaging to people on both sides. But if they were not fulfilled, How else could this issue be resolved? It's very very complicated situation... It's only my humble opinion. I may be wrong.
It can be done if you are using a Canvas to provide the rendering. The canvas can then be provided with a subdom that does not render but is visible/interactive to screen readers which matches exactly what the screen reader requires. Canvas's actually have the advantage here if they put the effort into being accessible.

You could do the same trick by hiding the visible DOM from the screen reader and creating an invisible DOM explicitly for the screen reader. If your DOM structure is wrong for the screen reader I would suggest doing this.
What is this protocol called and who supports it?
Exactly. Notice how "I'm feeling lucky" is only on the home page and not part of the search experience when using Chrome or any modern browser where you search from the URL bar? Wonder if that is intention? Not a wonder at all.

The "I'm feeling lucky" button would never be added to Google if it didn't already exist. It was grandfathered in.
This feels like the sort of the where it works great 90% of the time, but as soon as you want to do something more complicated/nontrivial it doesn’t handle it properly and is impossible to debug/improve since you are using an opaque solution.

At least with scaling replicas or having a dumb cache layer it’s easy to understand the system.

Schenker was a music critic/journalist of his day who routinely used exaggerated rhetoric to inflate his claims towards his largely non-professional audience. The basics of his analysis method are genuinely remarkably well-founded in historical practice (far more so than the "harmony" practice that's taught in music-theory introductory courses nowadays), but they are also much better described and contextualized by fully considering historical sources, as opposed to a narrow focus on Schenker himself. For instance, melodic reduction (undoing diminution and teasing out long-range prolongational relations) was integral already to the Italian Solfeggio of the 18th century, as recently discovered by music scholar Nicholas Baragwanath https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-solfeggio-tradit... . Schenker is getting a lot of bad rhetoric thrown at him these days, but he started that game in the first place.

I have never heard of any software developer in the US aspiring to work at Samsung. I assume their pay to quality of life at work ratio is pretty bad.

Which far leftists do you think have done things on twitter similar to what caused far rightists to be banned?
You don't have to pay it back but you do give up equity.

It depends on the deal you strike. Mark Zuckerberg still controls Facebook even though it is a public company despite selling a bit here or there if he wants cash, borrowing against the shares, etc.

Other founders lose control of the company at an early stage. Many people would be delighted to get $5-50M worth of stock in a quality public company and be free to do something else with their life.

VC and accelerators offer benefits by association. For instance I worked at a startup that used space at an accelerator for B2B software startups close to Union Square in New York City. It was energizing to be surrounded by people who are thinking about both the software development and marketing aspects of the business, there is the network of the people who run the accelerator and brand name which helps with finding customers, hiring. You can walk out of that office and hike (or take the subway or a car) to meetings with mega finance, media, consumer brands, you name it.
I wonder what the greybeards that grew up on this science fiction, now in their 40s/50s?, think of the world we live in today.
I love Gibson but prefer the Bridge Trilogy over the Sprawl Trilogy. It's a lot closer to what you're describing, and the characters are way more interesting. Characters in the Sprawl seem so two-dimensional to me.
and tiktok is 100X more appealing to them than either of those.

Facebook is for grandparents, twitter is for bots.
In the GP’s defense, the most vociferous anti-Elon folks online tend to also identify as leftists. It makes sense that they are because Elon is a capitalist billionaire known for being anti-Union, for overworking employees, and for being a general critic of leftists on his social media. He is the antithesis of most people on the left’s ideology.

>”Is asking that you practice what you preach leftwing these days?
Is being a two-faced lyer a concervative value?”

Now this is just playing dirty. This is a rhetorical cheap shot combined with moral grandstanding while also being nakedly partisan at the same time.

I made something like this in Hypercard years ago. The biggest problem wasn't the lack of software to track things, but putting everything in the app and then keeping it up :p
DLNA is a horrible experience compared to Plex, just above a network share. Did you know you can install Jellyfin and point to the same storage that Plex uses? That way you keep Plex (in case you bought the pass), and have Jellyfin as a backup.
I think I understand the use case for firecracker if you're a hosting provider like AWS or Fly.io: you don't want one customer's containers messing with those of another container.

If you're only running your own code, is Firecracker better in some way than just using docker?
Normally I'd think "the President should follow the rules as well, so they have incentive to improve them". But maybe with tricky issues like this, the apparent self-interest in changing the rules would be seen just as badly as breaking them.

Also: if you could just as easily break vs. change a rule, want to do so, but still believe it's generally a good rule - is it better to just break it?

I guess this is what both sustains and dooms autocracies.
Sorry- what?? Is the implication that you made a joke issue and are upset about how it was handled?

The "powerful" users (like Musk) are it's relevance. Tweets are quoted more than ever as the primary source of information when they are know to be "official" accounts, or owned by a specific person of interest.

Embedded Tweets on a news website might not be a great way to get ad-views, but those accounts give it relevance beyond the users who actually interact by commenting.
The whole reason why it’s difficult to empathize is not about whether someone snitches or not, or the mentality of the person who snitches. It’s already clear that the incentives for rule enforcement is screwy.

But the rule is there for a reason, a good reason, and everybody else had to follow it. I’ve heard of people leaving companies and having to effectively be demoted due to interpersonal relationships; that’s the responsible thing to do. It avoids the issues of conflict of interest and power dynamics. Choosing to simply flaunt the rules is not exactly admirable and maybe not even that romantic. The maximally romantic thing would be to give up the position as a sacrifice.

Do I get why someone wouldn’t want to do that? Sure, but you can’t eat your cake and have it too…
> Does that clear it up for you?

I find this bit deeply unhelpful for the discussion.

It’s clear from your numerous comments on this story, that you have an axe to grind. My comment above was to highlight how it was repetitive and annoying as a reader of the thread.

It was not a request for a longer expanded version of the same talking points with a condescending swipe at the end.
+1 for "Trust your gut".

Don't ignore it.
Postgres Chooses Which Index to Use for a Query
- Completely redesigning their UI two times over,
- Launching a subscription-based service (which seems to make it the first social media network without ads)
- Lengthening tweets to 280 characters
- Letting users make money off their following (super followers)

I'm confused as to how any of this makes it stagnant.
It’s not that black and white. Even rules themselves are subject to interpretation. Rules can matter, but first there needs to be agreement on what they mean: what precise conduct they proscribe — and, equally important — what they don’t.
My point was that, if you need to take force to implement your ideas (or prevent others from stopping you), your ideas weren't as infinitely capable as you first expressed. Therein lies the contradiction in your assertions on the first post, which is what I was commenting on.
It is trivial to do a google search to find examples. A couple recent and high profile would be accounts locked because they tweeted "learn to code" which was, of course a joke at the expense of the (very sensitive and unemployed) journalists. Another example of bans would be sharing any satire that goes against the extreme left view that it is perfectly OK to allow biological men in women's sports.
Its not even 15 years old.
And Rosneft and Gazprom.

It's completely brazen.
Alok, would you guys make me a build without the Github login? I'm just unreasonably protective about mine on account of having trading code there.

I'll have someone Venmo you $50 for it (and gas fees haha).
I don't think displaying data in different fashions is enough to come even remotely close to dethroning Google. It's their data, how much of it they have, and the algorithm that sits in between the search input box and the delivering you results that makes them the best.
Yep. In my last project one of the key USPs was privacy. The product vision was built around it and it was fundamental to our positioning in the market.

But I made the mistake of letting investors share executive control of the company, and pop there goes the pro-privacy policy.

In defence of founders everywhere, however, I will say that the investors didn’t just say “no”. They strung me along for almost a year, insisting we would be meeting about it, recording decisions where we apparently agreed, even pointing out those decisions while they flagrantly violated them in practice.

So who knows what’s happened here. A lot of the messaging sounds like what happened to me. “Yes we know privacy is important and in the future mumble mumble.”
Shouldn't human interaction errors be left up to the user to report, as opposed to software sending sensitive information to a third-party?
Cool.

Various issues:

* Airport code matches should always rank higher than substring searches. I found a number of cases where it was 3rd or 4th.

* I'm onto your crypto mining operation ;) - the searches are pretty CPU intensive. Do you do any kind of threadpool sizing based on number of cores / existing load average?

* It'd be nice to display some kind of status in the main screen beyond just adding flights as they come in. "X of Y searches complete" etc

* Speaking of the CPU load, it'd be cool to stop it as soon as "Update Search" is hit, since the prior searches are now obsolete.

* Finally, if you can add a truly useful "I don't really care about the dates, just somewhere around here" mode, that'd be awesome. _You picked Sunday but that adds a minimum of 5 hours; you really should pick Wednesday. Also it should be a week before._
Google used to be this. It was great back then.

The "we answer your question" thing could be useful, but:

1. It should be in addition to (not instead of) the web search results.

2. The answers can't be wrong. Google often gives such a low quality answer that I no longer want to use it for this, besides asking about the weather and sunset/sunrise.
I totally understand this perspective, I really do, I just disagree with it because I think it would be better to punish those who are responsible for the system being borderline fraudulent as-is. Everyone in my generation - and I mean everyone, outside of those already privileged enough to afford to gamble in the opposite direction - thought that without going to college you wind up poor. They think this way because they were told this as an axiomatic truth by guidance counselors, their teachers, and perhaps especially University recruiters who of course had a financial incentive to perpetuate this perspective.

The other problem is we did, in many ways, choose to restructure our entire economy around getting some degree to be used in the "new" economy, one that didn't have manufacturing jobs or other jobs that you could support a family on. These kids didn't choose this, elites and bureaucrats did, and as it turns out those degrees are still largely useless and certainly shouldn't require 4 years and $165k to get.
"Don't be afraid" is something that doesn't really work as advice. If I could just not have fear, what's left is just work.

I feel like the majority of the effort I have to put into things is overcoming my own brain. Whenever I get my brain to agree with what I want to do and that doing it it is worthwhile, the rest is easy. It's ignoring the billion stupid reasons my brain generates why I should not do something I want to do that is exhausting and difficult.
It's not a real exchange rate because there is no free exchange. Russian exporters forced to exchange 80% of hard currency to rubles. An individual can get maximum $10k in cash until at least 9th September: https://www.cbr.ru/eng/press/event/?id=12744 (and there are similar limits on international payments/transfers).

When there is no free exchange rate is not very meaningful.
Yes perhaps what we need is a "rampant layering violation" in the terminal world. ZFS showed how to build an awesome filesystem by breaking pre-existing boundaries. Can something similar happen between shell, terminal, tools, etc?
Indeed. People pleasers and "nice" people are prime targets because of insecurities and the lack of courage to be honest. "Oh, I can't refuse to meet later even if I don't want to because I might offend them." That kind of thinking. So they live out the charade and allow boundaries to be trampled just to avoid disapproval because they fear it that much.

It doesn't take much to notice this vice in a person who has it. Most people pick up on it rather quickly, even if subconsciously.
Recon.cloud – Manage Your Attack Surface
That's the strange part though. The streaming service and most of these new features are free. Most of the major features they charge for via Plex Pass are geared at people running their own servers. So they seem to be alienating the only people who have any reason to pay them in the first place.
Kipnis clearly doesn't think much of the Ewell paper, but I don't think her point centers on its contents; it's more that someone collected and published scholarly responses to the paper, and the social media pushback against these responses led to a grad student narcing on his professor and the professor losing funding, the journal, etc. That, to me, is not a healthy dynamic for a university to run on.

edit: Actually let me go a step further and agree with you a bit - I think Kipnis's point would be more clearly made if she didn't make her own perspective on the merits of the Ewell paper such a big part of that section of the article.
Yeah I’ve gotten this wired vibe from religious leaders. Just a little too friendly and steering conversations into odd areas. I try to refocus the conversation back on them as the interesting subject and that breaks the pattern but with 2 it’s difficult.
That's why Elon Musk bought 3 billion Twitter's shares?
Likely not the next Google but wanted to share: https://sanction.millionshort.com

SANCTION is an experimental search engine powered by the popular experimental search engine Million Short – an experiment within an experiment. (This is alpha and buggy!) With SANCTION you can choose to remove results from any Country you wish, for whatever reason.

Result removal is based on both the ccTLD and geographic location of where the page is hosted (a 1st degree connection). We have also provided the ability to remove results based on the ccTLD and location the scripts a particular page includes via script tags (a 2nd degree connection).
Adopting any framework is quite literally adopting the framework's idioms and conventions so not sure how that is different.
There's coding to them too.
AWS AppSync releases enhanced filtering in real-time GraphQL subscriptions
Plex shines when transcoding, but sucks with direct streaming. Unfortunately direct streaming has to be disabled on the client, but the buffering and stuttering will go away once Plex always transcodes to that client.
That's security vs. safety. You're pointing out that a terminal allows the user to do perform actions that could be unsafe. These actions or JS in the browser are a security risk because they can perform actions without the user's awareness or consent.
> Twitter does what it does and people like it (as seen by the fact that they all use it)

Last I checked not even half the US population is on twitter, not even close to half. Who is this "all" in "they all use it?"
There's a setting that tells it not to require authentication for clients on the local subnet. Pretty much everybody should set that.
Hi - Warp engineer here! Fully understand your disappointment and hesitation.

The terminal is totally free for individuals. The general philosophy is that we would never charge for anything a terminal currently does. So no paywalls around SSH or anything like that.

You're totally right in that the collaborative/audit features are a good fit for being paid features. Our business model will be around charging companies for team features.

For our public beta, we do send telemetry and we do associate it with the logged in user because it makes it much easier to reach out and get feedback when something goes wrong. But we only track metadata, never console input or output. For an exhaustive list of events that we track, see here: https://docs.warp.dev/getting-started/privacy#exhaustive-tel.... If this is uncomfortable to you, please wait for Warp to enter General Availability. At that point our plan is to make telemetry opt-in and anonymous.
Therefore, in part they do not become popular, goverments simply do not allow them to do this.
Sounds like OP should:

Practice enforcing boundaries: If what you really want is to get to work, then there's nothing rude in signalling likewise (e.g. by turning back to your laptop) or saying so directly. What is rude is people who ignore such cues and continue to try talking to you.

Listen to intuition: If something/someone feels slightly off (even if you can't articulate precisely what/how), then feel free to distance yourself immediately. You can later ruminate on why at your own convenience.

Recognize you don't need to justify feeling disinterest in or even active dislike of someone on sight. They might even be perfectly good people but if you're not drawn to engage, then that's your prerogative. You certainly don't need to prove or disprove their decency/motives by continuing to engage.
