Idk, maybe I’m just spewing nonsense.. I like the overall idea and I wish your team the best of luck.

It works like that in almos all cases where there is user voting system that can result in comment being invisible for other users. As one side gains momentum, it is for them easier and easier to block distending voices. After some time discussions start to look one sided and people that disagree just stop trying to engage. That feedback loop in the end turn such forum into an echo chamber(loaded term, but no side is free of it). Even more if moderators are on their side.

But there are also counter examples. Cases where models/theories advocated by comments are so disjointed from reality, facts that there is nothing you can even disagree on.

>>“The brain mistakes familiarity for truth,” van der Linden says.
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/why-peopl... (this is one example, there are more that show this kind of problems for other ways of thinking)

There was a study(https://sci-hub.se/10.1016/j.intell.2018.03.009, https://www.nature.com/articles/s44159-021-00006-y) repeating pseudoscience, hoaxes even if done to debunk them, caused people to see them as more likely because they become more familiar with them(and forget why/where they learned about them). So when someone repeats them to propagate them, harm cab be even bigger.

So there is argument for blocking harmful (in the end all of them end this way) misinformation to stop its effects on readers. But this approach is ripe for abuse, there is little stopping one from lumping into such category, theories/models one simply don't like/disagree with.

In the end, this is one of the reasons why assessing if something is true is hard, even harder if you add Internet into the mix.

In the end we are not perfect logical machines with same memory, we have flaws in our brains that can be used agnaist it, to persuade it into believing falsehoods.
Wow. If the comments here are any reflection on the broader society, the US is in a weird place these days. Come to Latin America guys, the women here want kids and love engineers, you won't have any troubles at all.
Me too!

Btw, in the spirit of the title of this thread, in English you would say "as a French person". In the past, "Frenchman" was used but it's understandably out of favour these days.

"French" can be used as an adjective but not a noun in this context. It's a very common error, I suppose since "français" can be used as an adjective or a noun en français :)
I was 5 months in jail for phishing data on a Polish portal.
It wasn't that bad even, I made new friends that I still keep in touch with now.

I also learned new tricks where you won't learn anywhere like in a prison.
A curious question: why caring about app privacy when the ecosystem they live in is designed to milk data? We do want only big&powerful being able to eavesdrop privacy but not countless of smaller actors?

It might sound sterile polemics but it's not, I'm really curious how techies can talk about privacy on Android, iOS etc. My sole opinion there is just avoid using them.
A gentle, friendly reminder for people looking to soapbox here: In the same way the absurdity of /r/MensRights doesn't negate the validity and need for /r/MensLib, clickbait pop feminism doesn't negate the underlying legitimacy of issues taken to absurd extremes in popular discourse. I'm nonbinary as hell and have been accused of manspreading for being tired and not overthinking my crotch, so I Get It, but lay down some chillfire and try to follow the very wise guidelines of this space.
Mostly because it starts with a Indian heat wave that kills 20 million people in a couple of days. Beyond that its a load of gibberish glorifying eco terrorism and full blown woke politics. Basically its written to be the extreme left's wet dream of breakdown in global order and bringing to heel the 'global elite'. It is difficult to move past the heavy pro communist overtones and the whole narrative lurches into many tangents that have no relation to the plot.

The subject chosen is really interesting but the way the novel was written (fiction mixed with facts) and some chapters where the author directly communicates with the reader is really weird. I wouldn't be surprised if this is their first novel and reads like a middle school essay of some kind.
I enjoyed it! One minor thing; typo on the final summary: “My closest guess had an color accuracy of XX%!” => (“…a color…”)

A simple demonstration of how complex our eyesight is: put your hand between your eyes, touching your nose, and compare what you see with the left eye closed and the right eye closed. On one side, knuckles, on the other, the palm. Yet when you open your eyes, your brain seamlessly fuses the images together and makes your hand largely disappear.
I am not advocating for or against this practice; but in the United States the voter record has always been part of the public domain [1].

The National Conference of State Legislatures breaks out a by-state view of what info is available and how it can be used [2]. There's another good article [3] doing a state-by-state analysis of voter file privacy. The public file should only contain: Name, address, year of birth. The following should be kept confidential: DL number, last 4 of SSN, month and day of birth, phone number, information that a person declined to register to vote, the office that received a registered voter's application, digitized signature.

No but a watched a lot of prison movies you need to break out?
I appreciate the post-mortem, but what was the monetization strategy?

I mean, if you're going to work on something full-time, you probably have a spreadsheet somewhere with an indication of how many paying users are needed before you break-even.

A startup post-mortem that doesn't say what they thought the break-even point was isn't a startup post-mortem, it's a tech-stack post-mortem.

I get the impression from the blog posts that the founders didn't really consider income as a necessity; the reference to their previous initiatives and their future initiatives make it seem like they just want to play with tech.
reactive java, currently quarkus but their guides are awful.

I'm a Go backend Vue frontend guy currently. But I'm eyeballing Java and eventually Kotlin because while the Go language is regulated the ecosystem isn't.
And even if performance and resource usage is worse than Go it's still good enough.
So I'm trying to see if I can have my cake and eat it too, aka have grpc, RESTful API and reactivity and oidc protected endpoints and how that works with Vue, Flutter or Angular. Maybe eventually even write native Android mobile apps since they're Java also.

But Java is very closed off and seemingly elitist world compared to Go.
Only few information outlets exist and the articles are usually incomplete.

I'm observing a decline in Go, many abandoned packages and some of the brains that were what's considered core packages have move away from Go. Gin for instance has a contrib sessions package but it's unmaintained and only select PRs are accepted. Sessions via redis aren't working anymore but since some packages depend on the exact package name of gin contrib sessions one would have to fork and fix both packages. I'm tried of this neglect and want an ecosystem that has not many but high quality packages.
I'm also tired of working with half-assed packages like ent.

I feel like Java is where the professionals work and Go at first was full of very smart enthusiasts but now isn't anymore. They've moved to Rust as the next big thing and once they're done there they'll move to the next big thing. But Java albeit ugly and "ugh" is still there and it's used and expanded according to needs. The core is always hibernate and it has a long business history.

I've tried getting into Rust time and again but that ecosystem is even more desolate and the language just doesn't resonate with me.

The downside, JVM is swiss cheese security. If someone really wants to get at you they will.

I believe that Atheism already achieved its peak on Western world.

Anecdotally, I don't know anybody that became Atheist recently but many that embraced some kind of Theism. No matter how we deal with it, Atheism is linked to individualism and it may make your existence more difficult than it needs to be. By the other hand, Theism is linked to communities. There's nothing better to unite people as a shared belief.
So surprising no one involved in a multi billion dollar industry hasn’t tried to consider the solutions you propose
From vague memory - didn't the USN have to more-or-less write off some major warships in the past decade or few, because the contractor who built them did so to "fresh water only" spec's - then weaseled, lawyered, and lobbied his way out of responsibility for the ships being utterly unfit for purpose?
No, I got out of jail in January, but a lot of people had a phone delivered to them by the guide itself.

After this came to light, there were all cells shifted and this guide was fired.

Really interesting experience in general, I even got a job as an electrical enginer in prison.
The all-aluminum Independence Class ships barely lasted 10 years before corrosion and other design problem meant all three had to be scrapped.

It's too bad since I liked the concept and the new technology being tested out on the ships. There was even speculation one of the ships would have the first working rail gun installed.
I know it is churlish to complain that people don't RTFA. But the first quote says:

It doesn't say what those reasons are.
Electron degeneracy pressure: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_degeneracy_pressure

Stars above 8 solar masses can turn into neutron stars or black holes because during their life they have two forces counteracting gravitational collapse: electron degeneracy pressure and thermal pressure from fusion. When the fusion stops you’re left with a massive body where the electron degeneracy pressure alone isn’t sufficient to counteract gravity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandrasekhar_limit.

You get a neutron star instead of a black hole when the gravitational collapse can be overcome by the strong force and neutron degeneracy pressure (the same forces that keep the nuclei of atoms from collapsing).

See this more general description of the fundamental forces: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_interaction
I worked at Uber and was around/in SRE for around the same time as rrix. It was truly a wild experience, good and bad, but I’m still burned out too, and it’s been almost 3 years since I quit.
Wow after the same researchers discovered something similar in Cosmos DB last year. Unreal that Azure is used by anyone
If that is done, then the advantages are lost too. Much of moisture from the monsoons is dumped as snow during winter which powers all the glacial rivers because Himalayas act as a barrier for the moisture rich winds. That is why the other side of Himalayas is a cold dry desert (rain shadow).
I think it’s liquid oxygen/methane that goes into the engine. So backfilling with some other gas in the gas part of that should be ok.

No expert though :)
I've never really understood what that "insult" is supposed to mean. What's wrong with signalling how virtuous you are?

OK, it is perhaps a little gauche to say "I donated more to charity than you" - but why shouldn't people talk about things which they think make them look good?
Why is this university spending money to make basic apps instead of working on research?
That is only truly accurate if you have an ape index of 1. But for most people it’ll be pretty close.
Rubbernecking an AA meeting feels wrong
But.. there are. I’m not saying working in a factory is a glorious, all-fulfilling career but it’s work. The best thing the American educational system could do is teach trades rather than leave young adults in tens of thousands to hundred thousands in debt to begin their adult life. Having a “nuanced” understanding of the world will do little to change that.

Aluminum has its own problems in saltwater such as galvanic corrosion.
True, will they directly use a degree in philosophy though? The path to a white collar job is much shorter with other degrees.
What does HN think about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies?
I'm diving deep into the weeds of Bitcoin and it's very clear that it is at a nascent stage. There is a lack of easily accessible learning material and it seems like there are only a few developers in the space because you keep on seeing the same faces repeatedly.

I've been surrounded by Bitcoiners with the content I consume and study so I may be in a bubble. I'm curious what HN's opinion on the cryptocurrency space and particularly Bitcoin is. Do you think it's a sound judgement steering one's career in that direction?
In the past we have had electric bus with electricity coming from an aerial network, surely they have some limits, but they are the sole logic design for a city. A small battery just to emergency maneuver but nothing more.

It's FAR cheaper and it's already proved they can last 50+ years without much maintenance.

Batteries are meaningful for cars and trucks waiting for some aerial electrical network like starting from highways, so again we need smaller batteries just to being able to travel on 100Km (~60+miles) ranges.
I stand corrected. (You forgot that they also mine my lab for data subsequently used in paid solutions.)

My point is, we should cherish the culture that enables progress and learning by routinely opening works of passion to free use and contribution. We could cherish it by employing a sense of ethics and adherence to certain protocols of behavior, these don't need to be spelled out but those of us who know better can lead by example. Putting OSS maintainers under undue stress has come under fire before, and this looks like one of those cases.

Only if the pressurant gas dissolves into the liquid propellant. Even then, it doesn't even dilute it per se, it just makes something akin to rocket-fuel-soda which causes all sorts of flow problems in your feed lines. Naturally, if your propellant is stored as a gas, adding more gas to pressurize will of course dilute it as you say, but I've never heard of something like this.

So the short answer here is: no, it won't.
you should not start with python, that is a really bad idea.

most game programming and open source game code bases are in C or C++, and that is still what the industry uses, so it's best to learn the basics of those languages and then pick up a few books specific to game programming in those languages.

besides, you are going to be building a game using a game engine, and those are all written in these languages, so sooner or later you are going to find yourself having to know them.
Peacetime ships are also expected to last (Googling) 36 years in good condition.

I'm sure it was a concern in WWII, and that they took all steps they could to preserve their vessels, but I'm also guessing that as long as they weren't rusting so fast as to become junk in three or five years, they were much more worried about surviving combat than rust.

This is quite a cool analogy for either poor or strong leadership during a time of crisis and long deployments. I can't tell which is which yet. I'd probably go with the former based on my experiences and what I've seen firsthand in the surrounding world(healthcare, big tech, education, etc).

On the poor leadership front, less people on the front line and they have been burnt out for longer than ever on overextended deployments. Enduring stress for too long simply breaks you down. The attention to detail eventually dissipates and people are just trying to keep their heads above water.

On the strong leadership front, everything continued to function to expectations except appearance which may be argued to be the last remaining detail. Appearance however is everything in the military and goes back quite some time to tradition:

> An old Navy tradition has it that the ship's cook shines the ship's bell and the ship's bugler shines the ship's whistle. This tradition may still be observed in some of the ships of the modern Navy. However, in normal practice, the ship's bell is maintained by a man of the ships' division charged with the upkeep of that part of the ship where the bell is located.

This seems like a fun college-level question for a leadership/military/software class. What is your argument and why?

You are conflating surprising systems and flexible systems.

Something that is flexible doesn't have to be surprising. Nor does something surprising have to be flexible.

The Principle of Least Surprise says that surprising behavior in software is bad. Systems should strive not to do things that catch users off guard absent a good reason.
Whenever I need to call an airline about a flight, I look up the NATO spelling of the reservation code. So far call center employees always understood me, used it back, and it made the communication extremely fluid.
If I remember correctly, there was also an issue with the orientation of the ballast - some CFLs expected heat to rise in a certain direction, and if you installed them upside down (in a ceiling fixture, for example), they would overheat and die. I remember being very disappointed with CFLs and abandoning them quickly.
Did it lean left in the 90s? the 00s? It seems that the progressive turn happened after tech became mainstream and recruited hordes of all kinds of employees, and implemented diversity quotas

At least in healthcare, I doubt this is a major causative factor (presuming when you say roles you mean physicians and nurses) -- the physicians are extremely supportive of the nurses, and their demands for more pay and better conditions in all the healthcare settings I've worked.

The real problem is the unaccountable bureaucratic management, which are neither physicians nor nurses, and the numbers of which continue to expand (sucking up financial resources) while physicians and nurses workload increases and pay continues to decrease in real terms.
The builtin POPCNT that came with Intel's SSE4 (SSE4a for AMD) is much faster. However, at a certain point, using AVX2 (and AVX-512 if present) is actually faster yet [1] - at least for 512 byte inputs or larger.

What in the world is that supposed to mean? I've been hearing that for years now, and I have not the foggiest idea of what we're even talking about.

Nothing is different. What is extraordinary?

Edit to add: If these times are extraordinary, then that is a valid excuse for rust and a lot of other problems.
> But it is most definitely not the only way to achieve 5MM connections with Java or anything else. Possibly however, it's the most friendly and intuitive way to do it.

It is the only way to achieve that many connections with Java in a way that's debuggable and observable by the platform and its tools, regardless of its intuitiveness or friendliness to human programmers. It's important to understand that this is an objective technical difference, and one of the cornerstones of the project. Computations that are composed in the asynchronous style are invisible to the runtime. Your server could be overloaded with I/O, and yet your profile will show idle thread pools.

Virtual threads don't just allow you to write something you could do anyway in some other way. They actually do work that has simply been impossible so far at that scale: they allow the runtime and its tools to understand how your program is composed and observe it at runtime in a meaningful and helpful way.

One of the main reasons so many companies turn to Java for their most important server-side applications is that it offers unmatched observability into what the program is doing (at least among other languages/platforms with similar performance). But that ability was missing for high-scale concurrency. Virtual threads add it to the platform.
