I understand the impulse to point out the obvious, but when the question is asked honestly rather than arrogantly or dismissively, it is even better to wait for someone to provide the specific answer; in this case, the reason that Zipf's law is of no help.
To quote a great pugilist who recently laid his hands on someone outside of the ring (and not for the first time), I think the answer is really simple:

The experience of communicating online is a very impersonal one: I type what I want to say in a square box and off it goes. I can’t hurt the feelings of my audience if I can’t even comprehend who that audience will be.

There’s also the anonymity aspect in some venues, which further removes behavioral barriers. If I can’t be blamed/identified in real life then the consequences of my online speech are null and there’s no incentive to not troll or “talk my real feelings out”.

Basically we all have a “dark” side: opinions, prejudices, and ideas that are deeply repressed by our need to conform in society. Online there’s no need to conform to anything.

The main reason is that almost all content online comes from people who are mentally ill. Commenting or creating anything online is really weird. Normal people don't do this, so you're interacting with a very different group of people on your computer than in real life.

> people in real life seem so much more complacent and uncritical compared to people online

This is just to avoid conflict. I'm sure they feel the same way internally
The first comment says a lot about it:

> I think it's time for me to quit the post of Assistant Don't Parse HTML With Regex Officer. No matter how many times we say it, they won't stop coming every day... every hour even. It is a lost cause, which someone else can fight for a bit. So go on, parse HTML with regex, if you must. It's only broken code, not life and death
Depending on your environment, i.e. if you have a metrics system in place already, I generally just post a success metric and alert on lack of success metrics.
I have the same issue with Elite 75t. It seems to be the result of the microphone volume adaptively creeping downwards. When it gets too low, Jabra auto-mutes.

You can bump the volume up to the midpoint in your audio settings and it will take about another month to re-occur. Sorry this isn't a better solution.
> HN is a strongly self-selected group of people, with rules against bad-faith arguments

I'd love to see those rules enforced someday. There are plenty of examples of such arguments to be found here.
FWIW the original works as well, but because you're using a typedef (not an alias) you have to convert from your own type to the underlying:

func (t *fishTank) fishCount() string {
return fmt.Sprintf("How many fishies? %d!", (*container[fish])(t).size())
}

that's because

type fishTank container[fish]

creates a completely new and independent type with container[fish] as the underlying implementation.

An alternative is to just alias:

type fishTank = container[fish]

however in that case you can't define methods on fishTank, because it's literally just a shorthand for container[fish].
Well, I've never got any non-Apple phones/computers to work with Apple phones/computers using Bluetooth.
Thanks. It's a valid thought on such trade-off. I do think we can still favor productivity without losing resolution, though, for the following two reasons:

1. A pull-based system can pull less when the system is overload, which means a pulled service needs to keep historical stats. For instance, the endpoint `/metric` needs to keep previous gauge values or the accumulated counters. That said, a push-based metric library can keep history too. Indeed, it is exactly what the micrometers library does.

2. Don't let the metric system overload. This sounds like a hyperbole, but it is what companies do in practice: telemetry system is so foundational and critical to an internet company that it should always run smoothly.
I love how all these companies offering high-interest accounts basically use two tricks in their playbook. First, they use the old "16x as much interest" which is technically true, but really 16x a number that is basically zero, sounds much better than it is.

Second, they offer these rates for a little bit then when people have switched over and would be too lazy to switch back, they drop the yield again.
Also you may read or listen this story on Hacker Noon:

I don’t think it’s very good and many other highly-rated top level comments seem to agree that not only does it have a scammy SEO “top ten best ${X} in ${CURRENT_YEAR}” but there is a mismatch between what the article is attempting to do with how it is attempting to explain and do it.

While I’m glad it’s not GPT-3 level spam, or outsource to third world country for copy level spam, in my opinion the article fails in several fundamental ways, noted above. Putting “genuine care” into something is commendable, but is not a substitute for quality, relevant content.

OTOH you’re getting lots of clicks and views for whatever product you’re selling, and even my comments help the “traction” HN gives it, so it doesn’t actually matter what I think.

> The termination of device support tends to be for devices that are 7+ years old. That’s quite a reasonable support lifetime.

I disagree. My 2014 MacBook Pro still works perfectly fine, but it doesn't run Monterey, which I need for work purposes, so I had to buy a new MacBook Pro. I certainly didn't want to drop all that money right now.

> Also, as of today, battery replacements for all supported iPhone devices costs less than $70. That’s a very good price and basically includes the labor for free. Nobody is getting ripped off here.

I've had to replace the battery twice out of warranty on my 2014 MacBook Pro, and it cost more than $70. Moreover, the pandemic has made getting repairs significantly more difficult. Who wants to ship their device off and be without it?

> If it’s supported, it’s getting security updates, period. If you have contrary evidence, I’d like to see it.

I said they don't get all the security updates; I didn't say they get no security updates.

I think many things but I'd say speed of conversation is a big one. On the internet, I think we give people more time to respond than in person. An email, a few days. A HN post, a few minutes to hours. A text message, a few minutes to a few hours. In person? Often a few seconds at most. (Maybe on phone or video call as well)

I think the immediacy can make it scarier for many of us to respond.
I think overly confrontational people gets isolated sooner or later. There are certain times and places to talk more serious or pungent themes… like parties or sharing a beers or whatever, but not every single time you meet.
It is sad. Many classic brands have gone by the wayside. Not all have been satisfactorily replaced.

Onkyo had some very good quality, for a fairly reasonable price.
It's the slow and steady increase in prices that made it so profitable. About 5x over inflation during Buffett ownership.

This has happened to far too many items over the last few decades. Most of the things drugstores sell are cheap to make, but have steadily increased in price in the US over the last few decades. Vitamins used to be priced according to manufacturing cost. Slowly, the low-cost vitamins have been up-priced to match the expensive ones. Vitamin C is about $10/Kg in bulk, but about $100/Kg at a US drugstore.

While it's true I often end up needing something like selenium, it's way more heavy handed and I usually reach for it last. It doesn't scale as well, harder to troubleshoot IMHO, and more libraries and dependencies to deal with in a language where that's already not great.

On social media, thousands see your post but only a few react. They're the ones that found your post much more interesting than the average person who saw it.

In real life, only a few people hear what you say but they feel socially obligated to react in some way. So you get bland, polite reactions. They're the people that, if they'd seen your post on social media, wouldn't have replied at all.

In a nutshell: on social media, you broadcast to a huge potential audience, and your actual audience chooses you. In real life, your ideas only get to a small number of people who may not have chosen to listen to you. The interest levels of these two audiences are naturally very different.
Thank you. I thought band camp was good for indie music.

For example looked up ‘Nirvana’ and I only see their debut album, Bleach, available.

Still a great suggestion! Maybe I can’t get everything from there, but I can get some!
You're anonymous on the streets in a big city too, but people don't become their "true selves" just because of that.
On the other hand, swathes of the internet are not anonymous, and that doesn't stop immaturity.

I'm not convinced by this argument.

What Are the Laws Affecting Construction Companies in India?
I'm not against WFH or returning to office, also I live in the states, so these are my concerns about returning to office.

* Astronomical gas prices, means commuting by car is a financial disaster

* Rise of domestic terrorism and gun violence, means offices, public spaces, or public transport no longer feel safe

* Most offices aren't equipped with a bidet or shower
I can't imagine buying a car online, let alone a used car. For something that can cost half a year's wages and is like a home-away-from-home for me, not being able to see and inspect something before committing to buying it seems ridiculous. But then again, I'm sure some people buy actual houses sight-unseen, so to them a car is peanuts.
I actually am someone who would go into the office part time but I would still want to maintain the ability to have 100% remote work.

I am bothered a lot by people at home. I’ve been remote pre-pandemic so the affliction of people thinking your being at home means you can run their errands is not new. The pandemic made it worse because now I am bothered all day every work day.

You’d think, “stop bothering the person paying the mortgage” would be a motivator but it’s simply not the case for me.

I know many people in this position so it is worthwhile to have empathy for people who really need an office.

And of course to reiterate, that doesn’t mean that a return to office should be mandatory.
HN is the only community in the world where you will receive positive reinforcement for being disagreeable and contrarian. That's partly because we have a high diversity here, and a norm again downvoting to express disagreement - which means there will almost always be someone around to upvote a well-researched comment.
The second point is not my experience with two institutions (a credit union, and Robinhood). In both cases they consistently tracked the federal funds rate, raising and lowering my account interest as market conditions changed. There has been no rug pull. For several years.

I do recall being at a dinner back in the '80s, where someone starting going on about how evil a MUG player was because he killed so many personae (particularly his own) and what he'd do if he ever met said person in RL.

At which point, someone else said "That's him sitting over there" pointing to a player on the opposite side of the table. Next thing it was "Wow, really pleased to meet you!".

It was a lasting lesson to me about what people say online and how they actually behave in RL (and taught me to ignore people saying they would firebomb my house if they didn't get their points back).

Unfortunately there are unstable people who get really confused between RL and what goes on in their head; the media have a field day with them.
Denki Onkyo and Onkyo were two different companies. "On" is an obsolete / traditional pronunciation of "sound" so it's not surprising to find it in many audio company names.
LLVM (in ORC mode) is very powerful. I wrote a JIT compiler for a DSL with it. It takes a fair bit of poring over the IR manual to figure out basic things. The optimization is as good as for C, including automatic unrolling of loops to generate SIMD instructions.

A very useful feature is that you can write C or C++ and run it through LLVM to see the IR it generates, and adapt it to your needs. You can even do it in Godbolt.

If your generated code is crunching over large amounts of data, an alternative to a JIT is to make the interpreter implicitly parallel. So each interpreter dispatch operation does N (say, 16) parallel operations, effectively cutting interpreter overhead by N. It works if there isn't data-dependent branching, which is often true for numerical operations.
Real time vs taking the time to think and form an argument perhaps has an effect?
It's the same root cause, I think: offline, you have much more context, plus intonation and body language, which lead to the expectation that you will be better understood. Online, it's hard to forget this is absent if you are not careful. The results can go either way.
Spotify works great with Chromecasts. I'm still really bummed they killed the Chromecast audio.. there's workarounds but it was the perfect device IMO.

If you're a tinkerer there's also DIY solutions like running snapcast on a Pi.

They screwed up their receivers circuit board from 2009 to 2015 ish. All their receivers would fail after 5 years and Onkyo did a massive recall campaign to replace the main circuit board (with all the amps attached.) That must have costed them.

It's impossible to convince most people of even the most obvious truths. The wisest path is to fake agreement, keep your thoughts for yourself and move away ASAP.

> I don't know anything about the Canadian constitution, but I would find it surprising if this passed judicial review,

The thing with the Canadian Constitution (specifically the Charter) is that this behaviour is specifically allowed. There is a provision in the Charter, called the Notwithstanding Clause, that allows provinces to "temporarily" go against some Charter rights. The clause was added specifically to placate the provinces, who wouldn't have accepted it otherwise [1].

Topics of conversation are usually different in real life. They are mundane and rarely controversial.

Online conversation topics frequently lead to heated opinions.
In the real world, there is always a low level threat of violence that keeps people in check. People get bolder as the threat of violence approaches zero.

In the civilized world, men will not be so quick to argue fiercely with other men as the probability of a violent outcome is higher. Contrast with women, who will often verbally assault without limit, simply because they enjoy the benefits of the fact that it is not as socially acceptable for a man to pound their face in, and because other women are not as likely to resort to violence.

It is ironic that the threat of violence is necessary to keep society peaceful and civilized in a scalable way.
India-US Relations and the ‘Jaishankar Doctrine’
ai. Our models train in a reasonable time (or we push them onto gpu) but doing the pipelines and etl when developing is a big time sink.

We could sit there and optimize the approach, but the time that would take and the complexity added, it would be cheaper to just buy more powerful computers.

For example, on reasonably new 8 core 64gb ram, 7gbs HDD machine, I optimized a calculation for one of the features down from 2-3 days to about 15 minutes. Throwing cores or ram or disk at this algo before would’ve got nowhere.

This was costly to do but it was the only way.

We could talk about python being slow and blah blah blah use C but once again, whenever we do tricky stuff with code that then gets shared amongst a bunch of python devs I need to think about the holistic cost including maintenance, ease of changes, bug fixing, resource that actually know c, client appetite, what the production load is going to look like etc

And finally, at some point a client will just come along with another million rows of data
To answer this scientifically, you would need to observe the same sample of people both offline and online. If you compare conversations with people you work with or chose to socialize with to conversations between random strangers on the internet, you have a pretty clear difference between your experimental and control groups.

People communicating in person to tend to be more likely to avoid conflict and insults. (I think this is because it's easier to walk away from an online conversation, while you're stuck with someone in physical space). But in my experience, a jerk is a jerk. Online or offline.

I have worked with a wider range of QA folk than you have, apparently. The best are magic, the worst are leaches. And I think that’s the problem with QA. Those who don’t like it cherry-pick their examples.

The thing to remember is that getting rid of QA upsets a triumvirate power dynamic. If it’s the dev team versus project management, the dev team always loses. If it’s sometimes dev and QA against PM, then you can win those fights. But only if you haven’t removed the QA manager from the org chart.

We’ve played ourselves in essentially a union-busting manner.

If you’ve always been at loggerheads with the QA team, I can tell you that you’ve been missing out. Looking back, defusing the default animosity between QA and Dev has gotten me more promotions than anything else in my career, and the lack of a QA team has put a substantial damper on my upward mobility. It sucks and I really wish we could go back.
Thanks for the recommendation! I'll definitely look into them.

Not really comparable. In my current office I have my own desk, multiple monitors, comfortable chair, a fridge, microwave, coffee machine, bathrooms that are rarely occupied, I can step away from my computer without fearing it'll get stolen, etc. I enjoy working from libraries and cafes on occasion, but it's definitely a worse UX than working from an office.
I think that's a good starting point. Any good references? I'm looking up the one already given in thread.

I have a lot of experience with medical biohazards, high voltages (>2kV), welding, dangerous tools, handling dangerous liquids (HF and similar), etc. I've never hurt myself. That's enough background to know not to do things before I know how to do them safely.
I loved sdf too. But had a very bad experience with them after a while. Very bad support if you ever decide to use their services (at one point I had everything there). My advice today is to stay as far away as possible from SDF!

Literally. If people acted IRL the way they do online, there'd be a major uptick in face punches.
Or it could be the things in the hundreds of papers from before 2005, when normalizing obesity was not politically expedient. All you have to do is live in any east Asian society for a period of time to understand that portion control and shame are extremely effective in preventing obesity in a population.

First generation Asian immigrants to the west generally do not become obese. They retain the ideas from their home country that being fat is shameful, and they retain their conception of a correct portion size. If they start getting even 3 kilos overweight, they take steps to undo that. The west has decided portions are to be huge, and is in the process now of destroying shame. Time has shown the results.

Unfortunately, doctors cannot do anything about widespread societal shift in attitudes toward health. All they can do is recommend what is most likely to actually help. While the correct answer is "stop eating so much; gather the willpower to be mildly hungry during the day; your entire mental conception of healthy food and portions has been fucked since birth," people won't actually listen to that. Thus, modern medical advice has been forced to basically admit that no one will ever lose weight in aggregate and begin making recommendations with that in mind. That doesn't make the older mindset incorrect, though. If a doctor could mind control you into being optimally healthy, there would be a lot less focus on "it's a disease; it's stress; you can't help it so just try to manage it best you can" and a lot more "stop constantly eating so many calories".
Well, if it's going to be a list, let me add:
