"Rails monoliths are so much more difficult to maintain"

I question that assertion. I have plenty of anecdotes which are the exact opposite: a Rails monolith is much easier to maintain compared to similar approaches in other languages.

"manipulate things globally"

Not sure what you mean by that to be quite honest. If you mean monkey-patching, that's generally been frowned upon except at the framework-level in the Ruby community for quite a while now.
If you look deeper, though, the biggest difference is actually in "other income" which itself was primarily driven by gain/loss in securities. In other words, the entire difference in net income this quarter is really a result of the markets tanking over the past few months. Google's operations are as profitable as ever.
> Google might be plateauing

Revenue increased by 23% y/y.

Google revenue increased by 24% y/y in Q1 2012.

Looks like it is plateauing for decade already.
An example of this:

Andy Grove in 1992: "The idea of a wireless personal communicator in every pocket is "a pipe dream driven by greed."
Where else would it run?

G runs lots of small things on cloud but a company that is willing to fund 0.1% global efficiency efforts is never going to sacrifice far larger efficiency regressions just for the aesthetic pleasure of dogfooding cloud for major services like websearch.
The fact that US companies have to count unrealized gains / losses on their income statement is just absurd.
It's almost certain. They will follow the Netflix model. Plan right now is $12/month. It will soon be $15, then $20. Because they care about their price-conscious customers, they will then offer a $12/month subsidized plan with ads. How nice of them to offer us the choice.
Yes, some kids are bad at math... but they could be better than they are.

Let's use your example of sports, for example. Yes, no matter how much I train and practice running, I will never be as fast as Usain Bolt... but I sure will be faster than if I didn't practice at all.
That was painful.

Hi, my understanding is that with very few exceptions, if a search engine is included in Firefox it is because Mozilla and the search engine have a contract and Mozilla makes some money from the arrangement. It's hard for outsiders to know what will be added or removed in the future.

Depending on the popularity of the content you consume you can use https://sponsor.ajay.app/ which is a crowdsourced way of skipping the in-video sponsorship ads. I've had it work for some relatively obscure channels and it reliably works for most any popular/large channels as well.

I have a zero-tolerance ad policy. If there isn't a way for me to reliably skip ads I will stop consuming the content. I'm willing to pay but all too often you end up paying for an ad-free experience and eventually ads get re-introduced anyway or the ads take on another form.

Pardon the language but fuck advertisements. If it isn't a dry, boring information-based ad I don't care for it. I have no tolerance for the emotional manipulation and psychological warfare committed by modern advertisements. I'm sick of seeing [attractive people enjoying time spent together while <using/eating/drinking> <product> during a <meal/activity/social gathering>] or [commercial designed to make you laugh or smile so you associate being happy at some level with <product>]. I was sick of those commercials 20 years ago because they're all the same and I'm even more sick of them now that I'm old enough to see how they're designed to be manipulative.

Hmm. Alright, I can see solid arithmetic being good for introducing the concept of a variable...

...but the only time I ever saw significant numbers when actually doing math was in toy problems that deliberately chose weird, big coefficients, where the arithmetic part was by far the least significant.
and in some sense we right now observe failure of this proposal.

Russia was included in majority of international organizations; trade was increasing with Russia with hopes that they will start prospering and become less agressive than before. I think it was such sentiment especially from Germany and France, there were multiple cases of “we need to be friends with Russia, trade with it and everything will be great”.

what actually happened was that government of Russia took all those trade benefits, neglected their citizens and intentionally made them poor so they would be more depending on the government. everything was intentionally oppressive, abusive. how do you solve that?
I think the treadmill aspect also happens for words used by teenagers. They use, for example, “hip”. Once their children are teenagers, they don’t want to be like their parents, so they use “hot”. Their children, in turn, pick yet another word, making “cool” the new “hot” (chances are I’m not mentioning these in the historically correct order)

The same process seems to apply to social networks (“Facebook is for parents”)

In all these cases, there’s a mechanism that makes a word or product tabu within certain social circles, forcing them to come up with a new term.

The process that leads to things becoming tabu stays, however, so the cycle repeats itself.

I wouldn’t know what it would be, but it wouldn’t surprise me if there were a more generic term that applies to all of these.
Like, no. Have you never programmed Python?
My bad about the incorrect terminology. I figured if it's not dynamic dispatch it must be static but I probably should have done my homework before writing up a description.
No, not ideally.

English descriptions will never be completely unambiguous and unique keys into a JSON data structure. There is a very good reason programming languages (and other forms of languages) exist.

Obviously broadband is not a utility yet, although there is massive support to making it one, and it probably should be. But let's ignore the semantic tricks and change the argument slightly.

Why is YouTube equivalent to Electricity/Water? The utility argument just doesn't make sense. Perhaps you're thinking more of the "public square" argument.

> My point is that there is no reason good reason to treat them differently. There are bad reasons to treat them differently, though, which are covered extensively on this page and mostly due to our conditioning by gov and ISPs alike.

I see many reasons to treat utilities different than YouTube, and I also see no reason why YouTube should be treated like them.

There are too many private remedies available. On top of that, the government should not be forcing any private entity to moderate a certain way, this sets an extremely dangerous precedent, and will certainly be abused. I should be able to moderate my blog how I choose.
The big number to me, Gain (loss) on equity securities, 2021:4,837 2022:(1,070)

I don't think their equity gains/losses have anything to do with future business outlook, so ignoring this $6 billion loss YOY I'd say this was a fantastic quarter for them. They could show more in some of their non search sectors, but excluding that equity number went fro. $13 billion in profit to $17.5 for a 35% gain.
I don’t know if they offered nothing. But European monarchism is a government structure situated in the past. It arose out of the material conditions and culture of a certain place and time, that no longer exist. Further, it’s ideological justification, the Mandate of Heaven, would be strongly contested by contemporary people.

So I don’t think it’s rational to transpose the historical benefits or flaws (if it’s even possible to disentangle the causal relationship between government structure and societal outcomes) into the political discourse and assume they would remain the same. One salient massive societal change has been the de-mystification of the aristocracy due to increased transparency. Instead of reverence, commoners view these people with contempt or even pity.

Speaking generally, I think way too much emphasis is being placed on the importance of government structure on outcomes. I understand why programmer types would be drawn to this analysis. But there are more salient dimensions: societal trust, peoples sense of stake in outcomes, the integrity of institutions, and material conditions.

That would be a great way to get me to both stop paying for their service AND start blocking ads. I'd just send $10/month to my preferred creators' Patreons instead, or something. I already put up with their frankly terrible music service because it comes bundled with ad-free YouTube; I'd probably be better off.

I realize I could do this now and it's probably better for the creators overall, but knowing that everyone I watch gets a little something, whether I subscribe to them or not, is nice.
Hacker News bans the same types of hate speech that Twitter prohibits. Is that "censorship", or only when Twitter does it?

> Why is Apple's market cap so much higher than Microsoft and Alphabet?

Because Apple brings in more revenue than Google ( 50% more ) and MSFT ( 100% more ) and they bring in more income than google and msft.

> Their businesses are bulletproof.

Apple has people tied to their entire stack ( hardware, OS, apps, store, etc ). I'd say apple's business is more bulletproof than google or microsoft.

> Apple on the other hand is completely dependant on China and you never know when a supplier drops the ball somewhere in the chain.

They are tied to the largest economy in the world? An economy that is set to double or triple the size of the US economy in the next few decades?

It's amazing what Apple has done. Nobody 20 years ago would have predicted they'd make $200 billion more in revenue than microsoft.
Having a localstorage list of what topics I've visited most recently, that could appear somewhere is something that reddit is poor at.

Yes! This is why I never said innate talent doesn’t exist.
True, though in practice I haven't noticed it to be nearly as obnoxious as Apple stuff trying to upscale at non-integer intervals
It has a lot more to do with how bad they are at selling IT to enterprises in my experience from the European public sector, which is now a very large Azure and AWS market.

We went with Azure because it was the sort of “obvious” direction for a non-tech enterprise organisation that was already heavily windowsy and using office365, but what Microsoft and Amazon sell to enterprises is support. AWS didn’t start out so well here in Europe, which is what gave Azure the chance to catch up, but once Amazon caught on, they became more compliant with European legislation than Microsoft is. Things like guaranteeing that every employee that comes near your data is an European citizen, is one area where AWS is still better than Azure, but basically what they do that Google doesn’t, is that they listen and adopt to the needs of the trillion dollar industry.

When Teams rolled out as a new feature in Enterprise 365, as available to everyone, our techies called Seattle (I can’t spell redmund) and a few days later it was possible to not have it auto-available for everyone. When we had issues with Google education, and Google education was actually Google’s best attempt at being supportive of enterprise, we had to talk with a chatbot and eventually had to physically drive to Google Denmark to annoy someone to get real support because our sales rep was on vacation.

I’m not sure if you know this, but a major part of selling IT to enterprise is to sell the CTOs the ability to say “yes, email is down, but our guys are working directly with the people at Amazon/Microsoft headquarters and they are calling us with updates every 30 minutes.” or “yes our servers are in Ireland, but some of our best techies have gone and physically inspected them with the EY consultants and our DPO firm and it was completely GDPR compliant”, and all the other stuff you get to do when you make the companies billions.
Maybe they, like in some Abrahamic religions to come later, considered women "impure" when they had the period, and this somehow translated to the men in the household? Wild speculation, of course.
The "two photon excitation" they talk about seems to refer to a different, altogether slower process that requires many orders of magnitude higher intensity light, and has to go very, very slowly so as not to vaporize the resin by putting energy in too fast for it to diffuse away.
It really does not, it's simply identifying you from a picture: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/dev...
Notice how Microsoft shows how Hello can't be fooled by phones or by a picture. Howdy uses the same IR camera of course and thus would also not be fooled by that picture. Some (industrial) printers DO print in the IR-spectrum and can fool both.
FWIW, sp500 forward pe more like 18
Rails is like PHP — well thanks for that compliment! I'd much rather program in modern PHP than in any of the other obvious competitors to Ruby. From what my friends who use Laravel say, that's actually a pretty awesome (and certainly Rails-inspired) framework if you're a PHP dev.
they really are putting modern day US employers to shame
That would be really cool. I don't know very much about WASM but this seems like a great excuse to learn.
I've got two questions:

1. Why don't you have a pirate parrot as a logo? Sqwoooook

2. Are you planning to support the fediverse protocols?

Most newer social networks always aim for decentralization (e.g. mastodon instances) and I'm wondering what the USP of squok is - compared to say, another mastodon instance. I'm not judging your idea, I'm trying to find out why users will use sqwok over say, e.g. all the reddit forks that have been started in the past.

Usually people need some unique incentive to migrate to new platforms, let it be a safe(r) space or mutual interest.
great idea, you wouldnt want that shared between device?
The worst thing about the CMF effort is that it would only deepen the disparities between rich and poor. Public education is often the only shot poor kids have to gain knowledge and skills that might propel them into STEM fields.

Do we need to mail copies of Stand and Deliver to the entire California school board? Or am I the only one that recalls that movie... based on something that actually happened... in California.

The quality of mathematical arguments presented in AP Calculus are significantly higher than other "standard" high school courses. So to the extent that it is a nationwide program that promotes some careful learning, it is a big plus.

I think statistical literacy is also important, but more than anything I think students benefit from learning how to think about hard(er) problems. If they learn that in statistics, great.

Generally I would say easy courses is the real problem, not content.

However, many many students enter college engineering programs with 1-2 semesters of calculus, so not having it could be a competitive disadvantage - presumably to your understanding of those first year classes.
The only two channels I watch that have in-video sponsorship use the TOC feature and the sponsorship is marked as a different section so it's super easy to skip. I don't want to name them in case that's not allowed, because I enjoy that they provide that feature a lot... specially because one of them is for kinda controversial content and the sponsors are usually not related to the content at all.
Had a quick look at what you’re building. Looks awesome! Looks like you don’t have an interface for the elderly individuals, so completely appreciate that usability of an app that connects hardware is not your greatest pain point.

This is only for the app side (or display if the hardware has one) because our solution is focused on making the interface user friendly. But there are other solutions for troubleshooting connectivity and related issues. Feel free to ping me at info@kraftful.com and I can put you in touch with folks who work on that.

I don’t know how you have your backends but I wrote a trading platform once and this was how we did it. Don’t become a trading platform. Just provide a way to get the true latest quote if someone needs it.
IMO:

* AWS makes the best 0th impression (the whole "nobody gets fired for choosing AWS" and as you said you can justify it based on absolutely no knowledge of it's details just purely on reputation)

* Google makes the best 1st impression, by the virtue of it's beautiful consistency of behaviour, SDK standardization, clean billing models, and overall cross-platform cohesion. It just seems like you can learn GCP faster at first.

* But AWS makes the best 2nd and subsequent impressions, as you realize consistency and clarity lacks the depth of AWS, or the true productivity gains by native services - native services Google has mostly rejected in favour of doubling down on it's K8S offering as a differentiator. While GCP can seem faster to learn, in practice building on AWS is actually faster and you can go build new full applications from scratch that you're happy operating in production quicker.
Isn’t toTreeF just ‘out’ as in ‘newtype Fix f = In { out :: f (Fix f) }’ ?
To mitigate the issues you mention, I've long wanted higher res screens since forever (I had one of those early Vaio VGN-Z that was the only 13-14" laptop with 1600x900 displays when 1366x768 dominated; they were also the first to move to 1920x1080 with their next model).

And I had that Dell's first 24" 4K screen that required DP MST to go past 30Hz. I've tried disabling subpixel rendering to see if that resolution was really sufficient (185dpi) but you could then see text regain jagged edges. Thus I reasoned that, with my glasses correcting my myopia to better than 20/20, I needed to wait a while until I can fully enjoy nice, laser-printout-like text.

As a reminder, even laser printers printing at 600dpi use techniques similar to subpixel rendering to render that smooth text.

I am hoping for some 8K screens at 32" for productivity work (though that's still probably too low at 275 dpi), and I never get it why people keep talking about there not being any 8K content. My desktop is my 8K content, though I also lack the GPU to drive it at more than 30Hz :)
Yes! This is the exact problem I was hoping to solve with Linen. I felt frustrated that there was so much good information being hidden in Slack and Discord communities. I also was annoyed at slack links in Github issues that leads no where because it was archived historically.
Also, you claimed that beheading isn't a form of punishment, yet it is listed on the second link I posted ^

> The use of public beheading as the method of capital punishment and the number of executions have attracted strong international criticism.[65] Several executions, particularly of foreign workers, have sparked international outcries.

Retail has easier access to options & day trading now than in the 80's.

Stock split results in much cheaper options, which many retail day traders seem to prefer.

I might argue that a stock split to a cheaper price would increase your volatility due to the above. Though TSLA's current price might disagree with me as I think it's one of the most traded & is by no means cheap for options trading.
It's $150/month right now for 3 aws accounts (parent/staging/prod).
I don't usually make this kind of comment, but the comment to which I am responding should be occupying the top spot on this forum, not the trash flamewar comment that currently occupies the top spot. If your moderation system can't differentiate actual expertise from flamewar trolling, then is it fair to say that the moderation system is not working?

Google's net income is up 35% if you ignore the equity numbers. Not only is Google as profitable as ever, it's quite a bit more profitable than it has been. I fully expect GOOG to open up tomorrow, maybe even climb higher than today's open.
I keep thinking "oh this time people will realize why federation is important." This will probably be the fourth major event like this where I thought people would be moving to Mastodon/Pleroma and instead someone sets up a centralized service that goes through all the same stuff again.
> One of the lead proponents/authors is distinguished Stanford Professor Jo Boaler..

I have an issue with the parent's gossipy put-down of Professor Boaler.

I think it's important to emphasize that genuine intellectuals who have put serious thought into this proposal support it. I would prefer more serious engagement with it, even if on HN the majority disagree.
If it helps, the richest of men suffer from baldness, cancer etc and haven't "solved" it yet, but I agree with the take in that it might have made things better if not cured.
A lot of those are related to death:

5 WRAPPING (THE CORPSE OF) HIS MOTHER
2 WRAPPING (THE CORPSE OF) HIS SON
1 EMBALMING HORMOSE
1 EMBALMING HIS BROTHER
1 MOURNING HIS SON
3 LIBATING TO HIS FATHER
13

and I suspect most of these:

8 WITH THE SCRIBE
1 OFF ABSENT WITH THE SCRIBE
5 FETCHING STONE FOR THE SCRIBE
2 FETCHING STONE FOR QENHERKHEPSHEF
1 LIBATING FOR HIS SON
1 LIBATING FOR HIM
1 LIBATING
2 BURYING THE GOD
21

and there's a bunch making remedies and/or looking after wives and female relatives:

6 MAKING REMEDIES FOR THE SCRIBE’S WIFE
5 HIS WIFE WAS BLEEDING
4 WITH KHONS MAKING REMEDIES
4 HIS DAUGHTER WAS BLEEDING
2 HIS MOTHER WAS ILL
21

Some ones that seem work-related by the use of names:

49 WITH HIS BOSS
3 WITH HIS BOSS DITTO
3 WITH HOREMWIA
13 WITH AAPEHTI
68

Then there's some actual stuff the worker was doing - mostly brewing beer:

17 BREWING BEER
5 OFFERING TO THE GOD
1 WITH HIS GOD
1 STRENGTHENING THE DOOR
1 BUILDING HIS HOUSE
25

A few unknowns:

4 OFF ABSENT

And finally the actual illness and injury, including scorpion guy!

67 ILL
4 SUFFERING WITH HIS EYE
1 THE SCORPION BIT HIM
72

Seems that brewing and DIY were the only hobbies around - unless you count making remedies or embalming!
