What annoys me..

taking up the screen space on load is not great when I am looking for a fast answer.. but I am okay with it being there for how important it could be.

The lack of standardization for what happens if you click more info or settings or whatever... that's annoying.. sometimes all the things are deselected already, sometimes not.. sometimes you have to scroll to see what's checked and what's not - and you have to read because it may be in a different order or wording than the others..

I often wonder if I wasted time by clicking more info - like - did the site already have it set for required only - all others unchecked? (highly unlikely)

Also - this is not the only tracking thing - so it's a wasteful false sense of security - all the third party assets being loaded are tracking and selling my privacy regardless of cookies.

It's also really bad, because some people amy believe they are private / annonymous if they click and select to stop tracking cookies.. well you are not.. and just like incognito mode (which still tracks you) - and just like setting 'do not track' - some people in the world may get a false sense of privacy and do things they may not if they understood ip addy stuff, browser fingerprinting, ISPs selling your stuff - third party assets and all that.

So it's good - but then it's bad, and then it's worse, imho.

we should have browser extension or settings that say "my cookie preference is: X ooo " and sites respect that and set to that.. and I'm fine with a reminder popup and ask if you can leave more cookie crumbs to support X Y or Z -

a few random thought I have when running into these things.
Got a link by chance to some such company, ideally with a sort of price tag attached?
What an outright evil thing to say to someone. I think you do yourself, and, whatever religion you may have been indoctrinated into a great disfavour by not actually learning about your faith.

Most religions don’t actually forbid suicide anymore than they forbid a lot of other things like wearing leather pants. The fact that organised religions still make it more tabu has a lot more to do with controlling populations through faith than what is actually written in your religions texts.
Um...yuck!

It's no surprise they are having trouble with restores then. I can't imagine what it's like to try to manage something like that.
What was the megaproject?
You're not wrong but there is a cachet with Macs that is undeniable. It's not unusual for the executives or creatives to use Macs in an otherwise fully Windows based organization.
What’s the difference?
What would the implication be of „don’t knock down doors in affluent neighborhoods“?
We switched from Jira and started using Zoho Sprints. It is a great tool for agile teams and their pricing is much lesser compared to other alternatives. Their reports are really great and the product is growing really fast with new updates every week.
What kind of culture do his companies have?
Side note Deep Rising is a fun movie (mentions song above where I found it).
Some tips. Germans trying to save money will always book trains several weeks in advance because Sparpreis tickets can and will be 50% cheaper. Flixtrain is also a cheaper alternative that is quite popular.
Maybe we should be asking why they are so eager to break down other people's doors, instead of harassing them for not breaking down just this one.
You just use PureScript instead of ES2056 or whatever.
This only works between Berlin and Frankfurt because they both host major airports. Flights inside Germany usually aren't that cheap.
> If consider real case of application, which create some value (I don't mean just money, may be for example community value or scientific), you will need to depend on some libraries or tools.

> This is how our civilization works, we don't create all things from scratch every time, but instead, we take ready parts and construct something new from them, possibly adding our new parts.

This is very dubious.

If all you do is compose parts that already exist, then anyone can do it and your value add is almost nothing.

Sure, if you try to build everything from zero, it will take you forever.

But obviously, if you do what I said (what you quoted me), you are not building from scratch.

First of all, you are using the Go language and compiler. Second, you are relying on existing operating systems (likely linux) to run your program. Third, you are relying on the internet to exist so that your program can reliably serve content to users. Forth, you rely on the fact that your users have a reliable web browser that can display this content. Fifth, you are free to use any library in your source code.
People with money and power have it better. Yes, clear, thanks for yet another confirmation.

This is why I could never enjoy NYC. As a normal middle class dude you always feel everywhere that you are a nothing: no fame/no power/no money = people are rude, aggressive, hostile to you. I never felt that in London, which is a quite comparable city to NYC. I felt welcome in most places despite not being rich or famous.
Are you talking from a US/European perspective? Being gay was entirely open and mainstream in the 90s/2000s. Although I'm not sure what that has to do with heresy which was the topic of the essay.
In all forms of Buddhism, suicide is one of the karmically worst things you can do
Well if the suspect was wrongly accused, they'd have to reimburse the damages. Does the FBI have a budget for such things? Does it involve extra paperwork if it passes a certain threshold? Is the issue here profiling of the demographic or the risk ( in terms of cost ).
I don’t know. Obviously windows machines outsell macs. But when I go to (programming) conferences, I always count the machines in the room. 40-60% are macs, the remainder a mix of windows and Linux.

When I visit any of my 3 kids on their respect campuses. I see the same. Some times even stronger.

I spent time in Boston 2 weeks ago and rode the tubes a lot. I saw a LOT of MacBooks. Way more than all other laptops combined.
Good job it's a white car
Burger King Manager confirmed the same to myself.

Looks like that's what happens in this timeline in page 2, when NeXT merges with Pixar in 1999.
You could just start off writing down your thoughts in order to better understand and explore them.

I consider that very different from writing to communicate to other people though, and a lot of people unfortunately don't make the distinction.
i wonder how the original text would have fared if it went through the grammarly filter instead.

It'sespecially true for ML in general on HN, but it's generally true for a lot of areas in the public - people often mistake skepticism for expertise or knowledge.
I think the phenomenon is similar to the large crowd that cries "the sample is too small" any time statistics are brought up.

It's the first thing anyone learns, and it's easy to do.

It's really unfortunate, but that's why you see so many on HN that dismiss new technologies in ML (especially in NLP, since everyone can understand the output - that's less true in e.g. protein folding)
stock manipulation
They said it's a rumor. One way to stop such a rumor would be to stop the practice of taking organs from condemned prisoners.
The article was about heresy, not attitudes to gay people. I'm not sure why people are trying to conflate the two.
> no fame/no power/no money = people are rude, aggressive, hostile to you.

No, some New Yorkers, rich or poor, are rude, aggressive, hostile regardless of who you are.

USDOJ Announces Court-Authorized Disruption of Botnet Controlled by Russia’s GRU
I really want to know what this phenomenon is. I have seen and personally experienced it quite a few times. It's pretty insane.
I like to think about this too (too much time in Fallout) but while it would be cool to get something to work, sucks to think it would be subpar to the current speeds/bandwidth. I guess at that point life isn't about leisure.
Yup. Also he is hinting at mass layoffs: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1512974273606045702?s=21...
The most recent incident I remember was with a debrid service. I opened a ticket with their support and was told that the point of the policy was to combat abuse of their service. Not entirely sure why a paid service that accepts cryptocurrencies would care about email addresses.
Elon will get his edit button, no more reason to join the board I guess
Autoplay videos themselves need to stop being a thing.
Yeah. I’m actually usually fairly happy with just a virtualbox guest eg something like Regolith, and even without seamless mode (Eg just do fullscreen in a window) because I kinda like the desktops separated.
> Well if the suspect was wrongly accused, they'd have to reimburse the damages.

Do they? I'm honestly asking, but I would be surprised if most of the time the police (or any 3 letter agency) reimbursed victims for their negligence.
How do you mean? This is exactly what I can do with my setup. If you are referring to the use of Gmail: I prefer to run my own infrastructure as long as this is possible.
Can you link the other comment? Its hard to know what you're talking about without that context.

In any case, you can't use a text "automerger" to collaboratively edit JSON text. (Whats an "automerger"?)

To understand why, suppose we had an empty (JSON) list: []. Two users concurrently inserted two items, "a" and "b". If those inserts get translated into string inserts, you end up with a JSON string containing ["a""b"] - which is a syntax error!

The trick to making this work correctly is that the CRDT / OT system needs to understand that you're editing a list. Don't collaboratively edit the JSON string. Collaboratively edit a list then JSON.stringify the result.
Can’t get much more hyper focused than this!
The first and second paragraphs contradict each other. Assuming of course that we ignore the time and events that separate them.
I think what people value is subjective. You might not care for cars, real estate, fine foods, art, or engineering - and that’s ok - but it seems perfectly reasonable to me that someone else might derive a lot of happy memories from those things. Especially when shared with people you love. They certainly wouldn’t make me less happy, that’s for sure!
Years ago when boom boxes were popular i remember someone saying "It doesn't matter how cool your music is, someone thinks you're a cunt".

So true, still true.
Larry Ellison offered to Steve Jobs that he’d buy Apple for him. Steve and Larry were extremely close friends (in each other’s wedding).

Steve declined.

About a decade later, Larry acquired Sun.

Not in the DC area, but in plenty of other cities sure.

It's not that they're particularly rich, as far as rich people go, it's that the neighbor is like, the chief of staff for the Senator who's in charge of the committee that sets the FBI's budget. Imagine you're a low to mid level employee of a company, and you go do something that makes all of the CEO's friends, business partners, and investors pissed off at him. Do you think that's going to be good for you?

This is actively harmful and despicable behavior.

I hope you reflect on your need to hurt other people in your search for spiritual comfort.
Way to miss the point.

San Francisco does not occupy much of the Earth's surface, or even of the continental US. This battery farm, spread out between all the towns in the US, would not even be noticed.
It's of course a complete coincidence that the "green" energy minister who was instrumental in the decision to shut down Belgian nuclear power is a lawyer whose main clients included, (drumroll... wait for it), Gazprom.

Just like it's a complete coincidence that the head of the government responsible for shutting down German nuclear power, Gerhard Schröder, now is the chairman of Nord Stream, Gazprom as well as having been nominated to a director position at Rosneft.
The article was about heresy which he defined as a factually correct statement that will destroy your life if stated. It wasn't about being an unpleasant person with unpopular opinions.
There is no agreement on terms. As a member of the board you are required by law to always do and say what is in the best interests of the company and its shareholders.

Someone probably sat him down and explained that he doesn't hold a majority of voting shares at Twitter, and that the company and other investors wouldn't put up with his shit. With a 75% majority, the other shareholders could vote to nullify his shares and make them worthless.
I write comments before the article
largest shareholder, not majority (51%) shareholder.
It wasn't a point upgrade - Confluence 4.0 got rid of markdown in favour of an "XHTML" storage format, then a layer on the editor to autocomplete markdown into the rich-text as you typed.

Personally I preferred the ability to edit pages as markdown, and we toyed with ways to allow users to edit the rich pages in markdown (i.e. a new transformer from the storage format to wiki-markup, instead of the editor format) - but it wasn't possible to not come up with a diverging solution for the transformations here (at the time, given the time we had spent on it).

Whilst we copped a lot of flack from the die-hard Confluence users when this was done, the vast majority of users liked the change. Also from a different angle, this was a really fun time at Atlassian - we had run out of space in the CornX (office at the time) so we had leased the floors above the pub next door (The Dundee Arms), and there were five of us in there, all with out machines crammed around a single table in this tiny room. Good times.
ITT a bunch of clowns who don't know anything about React, haven't written a single line of it in their lives and don't care one whit for spending 10 seconds to understand why this is a useful feature, or how it isn't even a new feature.

Never change, HN.
Eric Schmidt was the CTO of Sun for a while and brought that culture to Google. I see a lot of the problems Sun had in Google and IMHO it's about to collapse under its own weight and lack of focus.
You haven’t made a point. You’ve made a declaration of your own values which don’t apply here.
I cannot fly early flights anymore. Public transit takes 90 minutes at this time and uber trips are liable to cancel on me if its too early after pretending like they will be picking me up for 15 mins.
While I agree with the Soviet part (or any political system for that matter) I doubt the pro capitalist generalization would stand to scrutiny:

> At least in capitalism you become rich by providing value to other people.

One could easily find examples that counter these points. I doubt pyramid schemes (think Madoff's schemes) or crypto scams are the only counter-examples possible.

These more often than not come from an imbalance of information. People (or the market) could make better decisions with all information being accessible at the time of the decision. But all too often one side has more information than the other. Giving this side an edge.

> In socialism you become elite by stealing from your comrades and forcefully eliminating the competition.

In capitalism it is basically the same as long as you can get away with it. I know it isn't a popular opinion, but without regulation capitalism is in now way better than other systems.

Their excesses would all need to be reigned in. Because no unregulated system would be acting in the common good. The system may be organized in a way to slightly enable more or less perdonsl freedom. Or more or less societal freedom. But in the end - for average Joe - uncontrolled capitalism boils down to the working and living conditions of the early industrialisation or (in case of socialism) towards the living and working conditions of late soviet times.
We have cases of just regular-ass police in the US breaking through the door, shooting the family dog and dragging people out in their underwear.

Wrong guy? Whoops. Sorry.

No reimbursement.
And now they are building out PV and gearing up to build out storage.
That's not a very nice thing to say.

If they're already working full time in there 20s then they didn't go the traditional educational route where you "refine" / calibrate your writing standards. What people consider good writing is sometimes recursively defined in terms of other good writing. We've been indoctrinated. Analogous to the way we've been trained to believe Google is the best search engine, when we've honed in a way of writing search queries that don't do well in other search engines.
Not a surprise if you’ve read any of Musk’s tweets this past weeks. He sounds unhinged. He’s like Kanye West. Occasionally says and does great things but more often than not is tweeting nonsense that could damage the company/brand. You cannot have a board member polling users as to whether or not HQ should be converted to a refugee for the homeless. The uncertainty and stress nonsense like that must cause for employees and potential legal implications for the company are not worth it.
is await better than goto? frankly i prefer the latter
TWTR about to crash for the week. All of those weekly options about to be -100%
But why would you not be able to reply with the aliased email? I do this regularly. Of course your mail client needs to support this, but using Mutt this is absolutely no problem (just change the FROM header) and I have heard from other users who use Thunderbird that they can also create new identities (just not as easy on the fly). In fact I wrote a small script for Mutt that would automatically set the correct sender if I reply to an email that contained a wildcard. Works pretty well.
Sun might've shed the Newton, but I suspect they would've had their own vision for networked mobile handhelds or otherwise very portable devices.

For consumer mobile in 1996, maybe they'd think more like Internet-connected handhelds based on HotJava (Web browser with Java-based content handlers installed on-the-fly, in this case partly for networking efficiency, partly disconnected operation, partly promotng their vision of Web). While also making compatible HotJava browser available for all the popular desktop platforms. (And JavaScript never took over.)

But for corporate IT customers, they might still push more their your-desktop-everywhere thin client ideas, of course served by Sun servers in the data centers. But also based on Java.
Taking into account the elegance of SUN OS and Solaris compared with Android and the usability of OpenLook compared to Android GUI, i would doubt it.
One of the grocery stores near me is impossible to park at without a smart phone to link into their services for payment.
You're missing your own point.

It lasts for a single day. A project using up pretty much all of Earth's currently usable lithium resources, for a single day of storage. It's worthless.
As much as I agree with your sentiment, I think you could just as easily quote from the first paragraph of the linked Wikipedia article to find a counter point to your (seemingly) rhetoric question:

> Walton cofounded the Children's Scholarship Fund, providing tuition scholarships for disadvantaged youth.
> With a 75% majority, the other shareholders could vote to nullify his shares and make them worthless.

This is unbelievable. Can you share a credible source?
Poor research skills do not tell us much about power generation build-out status.
America is much more racist than you think, and if you don't think so, you should probably talk to more POC.
Ex-Sun guy. Sun was terrible at mergers and bought/killed products on a regular basis. The culture difference between Apple/Sun is so big... There's absolutely no way this would have worked. I would have loved to have a proper Sparc. Those machines were amazing and their UI/UX sucked so bad. Sun never found an opportunity it couldn't botch.
Try the less nice ones then.

In terms of decibels cars are indeed louder. But not all noise is created equal.

I have noise-cancelling headphones - they do a great job removing white noise(so traffic, among others), but aren't too effective against sounds with a more focused spectrum like people yelling in the middle of the night, bottles being broken or trash being collected in the middle of the night.
There's a very simple fix if you believe you have too many meetings - decline them.

If you don't think you're needed in a meeting, say so. Give a reason like "I have nothing to add to that discussion." or "There's no agenda so I don't know if I'm needed." or simply "I'm busy, I think my time would be better spent on story 123." Make the people who invite you start to consider if you're really needed[1].

Also, create your own "meetings" by putting blocks of focused coding time in your calendar where you're unavailable to other people.

Part of your job as a dev is to organise your time well. You can't just delegate that to other people. If you're saying yes to every invite, and then you sit and don't have anything to add, then you haven't done your job properly.

[1] They might stop inviting you, and then you'll have less input on things and less visibility to management (which mean you were needed in the meetings after all). Make sure you're happy with that before you try this strategy.

As opposed to now where it's 98% bots posting inflammatory political content?
There's something to be said for priors here. I personally know three (yeah, I hang out w/a fun crowd) people who have lost their jobs over social media heresy. I don't know (and have never heard of) anyone getting eaten by an ogre.

So yes, I am inclined to believe that modern heresy is a phenomenon, and I am not inclined to believe in ogres.

Yeah there were a lot of home grown tools for managing it, and some self-made async migration infrastructure built into the Jira code base.
This kind of comment is exactly why I'm glad you don't have the option of deciding that my life is not worth living.

I'm not sick or anything right now but people who say things like this terrify me.

Everyone is going to have to depend on other people's judgement sooner or later, and by the numbers, most people still think there is some kind of soul or afterlife, or at least don't assume there isn't! The only protection from people like that is for there to be no mixed messages and no option for them to commit what they believe to be mercy.
Trust Me, I'm Lying by Ryan Holiday is a book about exactly this. People 100% do plant fake news stories all the time to suit their purposes.
Sometimes I write comments before reading the title. What are we talking about?
