no, it's not changing, i'm sorry to say, and thank you for your disclosure, but i'm afraid you are not in a position to see the problem clearly.

not supposed to, as in, a majority of industry stakeholders have (apparently, based on their behavior) strong motivations to mystify technology to themselves and others, to represent maintenance as innovation, and so on, because disruption and innovation are the standards we've set for ourselves.

in the meantime, we have such disasters happening as js-dependent archive.org. how can this be tolerated?

i certainly believe that your company's internal position was to "focus on users" but the truth is that managing the flaws of overengineered systems in practice takes up a huge amount of administrators' time, and they develop no competencies as a result, so it is pure wasted time. most of them have no idea that there exists a relatively simple language for looking up student data. no one has ever told them "there exists a simple way of saying 'give me a list of all the students who failed calculus last year'" or whatever. lots of them still have to navigate ancient terminal applications, and all the people who could theoretically be helping these organizations reorganize themselves and use technology better are making very big salaries just selling them overengineered software instead.

since the software is bloated and breaking the web, the organization also ends up upgrading its hardware frequently, so all the ancient contracts with dell and cisco and whatever keep grinding, and as a result video games look prettier and the military has more targeting computers and surveillance devices, and the developer class gets paid to… what? invest in real estate, vr equipment, and an illusion of progress?
The market is efficient. You raise prices and pay workers more -> Fewer people are willing to purchase at that price -> You make less profit -> You don't make enough profit to pay people more. It's a complex problem. You could make the same market argument as: if it was profitable to charge more and pay workers more, why doesn't anyone just start a company that does that and outcompete the others?

Ah, interesting! I never used del.icio.us myself, but from what I understand, it's fairly similar to Instagram (for example) in how tags work, optimizing for ease of use rather than ease of finding specific content. In my opinion, this is almost certainly the right decision for any platform where "absurdly detailed search" is not job #1, and I'm pretty sure I would have argued the same way as you did.

That said, having seen some of the centralized, intricate tagging systems out there, that let you filter down from Earth to one specific ant in the blink of an eye, that's what I think of when I think of "tagging" that's really effective. YMMV, but I would argue that if you can't type in 10 different tags and get 1 result that's exactly what you're looking for, tags aren't really delivering on their promise.
I use this article as a starting point: https://rsgb.org/main/files/2014/02/QST20Solar20April2020165...

Big installations are actually well engineered. It’s the residential solar projects that cause the most issues with their microinverters. SolarEdge is a huge culprit.

The impact is being unable to use HF communications during daylight hours within 500m of a residential solar installation that does not follow good engineering practices.

I disagree with everything you said and find your outlook both sad and disgusting.

We can make a space in the world for everyone, however small. People can find each other.

Homeless drug addicts have friends. Lonely people can find communities. Circumstances are not static.
Contacts and metadata. Who knows who and how often they talk. Good for building shadow graphs.
The reasonable rate is the amount of money it takes to incentivize people to do it, i.e. where the market clears.

Maybe the $60k to do zoom is too much, and the $120k to work in the early morning in the cold and rain should be $200k.

I guess we will find out soon enough.
Apple has capitalized on the liberal arts aspects of tech. They were able to figure out how to make computers useful and desirable to the every-man thanks to it. Without it, computers would have mostly been relegated to the work environment.

I agree computer science needs to change. There needs to be a way to incorporate some of those aspects into a CS degree. If we want the full advantages of tech in our lives.

the balance should come from the business requirement, not something as top-down as if the frontend development works like physics that it has some intrinsic principles to drive into a destined more advanced stage.

In addition to the inherent physical nature of the work, another problem is working for small businesses that fly under the radar of OSHA and other regulations. Also, family owned businesses don't have a "normal" career advancement process unless you belong to the family.

For long distances, a flight is quicker. But for most of Europe, the distances aren't far enough to warrant a flight (over you add in the pre arrival time and waiting for checked luggage, and as someone else pointed out getting to and from the airports.)

I wouldn’t say “it was okay back then”; 17 year olds today vs then is something that is night and day.

Also The way I see it, differentiate a persons personal life from whatever contributions they have from their professional life. A good example is Michael Jackson. You can love his music and hate him as a person. So it’s more split the legacy.

> We already have a cost of living crisis, and raising the price of fruit and vegetables by removing these visas for seasonal workers seems like it would hurt everyone without helping anyone in particular.

It helps local labor sellers to be in higher demand and hence negotiate higher prices who may have taken the option to pick fruit and vegetables.
Yea.. nah.

Seriously. This "more cores more gpus more data more training" doesn't explain how. It just says more is better.

Well, two things haven't changed. The first is the ad, "you always find something in the last place you look, but a computer has 20000 places." The other is the need for a cup of coffee and a sandwich if you're really going to get down to some serious computing.

I carry one of those tiny wireless routers in my carry on wherever I go. If I have to buy internet on the plane or if I am in a hotel that limits the number of devices, I always connect through the router and use it as an access point for all the other devices.

The other added benefit is that all my other devices already have my AP's wifi creds and will connect to it automatically.
> is this more about keeping up with friends and families and what they watch?

Yeah. I love discussing shows with friends and family and I’ve been finding it harder and harder to watch shows together or watch them later on our own time to discuss them later.

For example, I recently watched Pachinko and would highly recommend it but none of my friends have Apple TV so they can’t watch it (unless they pirate it)
It is very likely if you have a recently purchased jar of jif it is part of the recall. The peanut butter that was already open and we had eaten the better part of was part of the recall and at the grocery store there was no jif products of any kind to be found.
1. 1MB is priced fairly for the market the product is in and the features offered.

2. I’m not sure about the current landscape but 1MB has offered this functionality for years. It’s really cool and you should check it out. It’s free to get started and no credit card is required.

3. You don’t need to code your own blog. There’s a “one-click” install button for a blogging template, and an intuitive blog post editor.

4. Why exactly do you want to block everything served by my company? Did I do something? Is this in regards to 1MB Ghostwriter? Many platforms are stepping into AI.
It was a smart acquisition for sure, but "ruthless business genius" is a bit of hyperbole imho. FB's market cap was in excess of 200B at the time and they were growing like crazy. 16B on buying what they had failed to build internally and needed as a moat around their core business seems pretty straightforward.
Mere mortals like us just get caught up on all the extra zeroes these guys are playing around with.

That's the story of Etsy's original founder/CEO, actually - he was a woodworker who wanted a better way to sell online. Same with me, too - I was a glassblower selling on Etsy and founded a successful startup based on their site, because I wanted a better way to manage my shop.
Oh yes, "amnesty", that one-time thing where after we're done with that, the law will really mean what it says. How did that work out?
When your phone number changes, WhatsApp asks if you want to change your number. You don't have to accept this, it will work fine on your old number. It is risky if you lose the SIM card but it works, I continued using an old number for three or four years after changing numbers and I was never forced to prove that I still was the owner of the old number.
Show HN: WordCrossing – A Scrabblesque Maze Game
Hey HN, WordCrossing is a little game I made last week where you place words on a board to form a path connecting the start and end squares.

I was kind of surprised that even for a game of this scope, there was still a fair bit of complexity writing a map generator/solver; which overall, made it a really fun project. I know there's still a fair way for it to go, so I'd love any feedback you guys had to offer.
Also perhaps the sense that a good future is being built for the younger ones.
I think most of us never had a good understanding.

I grew up in the "church" and no one ever said anything meaningful to me philosophically wise about things like this.

I took a philosophy course in college but didn't attend half of it because of "college reasons".

I feel upset with the science establishment that some of this is so basic once you are exposed to it that it isn't taught in elementary or middle school.

Materialism feels like mind control sometimes because it is so insanely wrong and so easily proven false.
> If Apple had instead shipped batteries with instructions for pure DIY repair, we’d be reading ...

Hypothetical. Also they could simply provide the option.

They already don't take any responsibility anyway.

If someone wants to get it done with a high chance of success they already take it to an Apple store, or ship it to Apple.

> This whole article and the rage around it is beyond silly.

Yes and no. The article is mostly just tongue in cheek, trying to capitalize on the cheap shock value of the 79 pounds of tools... but the point it implicitly makes is that "right to repair" is not about tools, it's about repairability, design, serviceability, etc. (Which I think is a bit dumb, because most people don't want this, they want cheap phones every few years. What would be much much much better is to price in the externalities of that. Which would give a fighting chance to a vendor that competes on low externality by serviceability.)
I've just come to hate the term "code smell". There are times when you need to take a deeper look at someone else's code, but the implementation may be completely fine given the context.
Oof, the flaky radar of regulatory agencies... I wonder if it's the same in other comparable countries -- not just OSHA, but all DOL enforcement broadly is just such a joke in the US that it seems reasonable to expect almost any random place might be doing better.
Reminds me of the Copernic Agent (not their current desktop search product). Are there any other metasearch engines that download the results these days rather than stuff everything in the browser?
Organic farming def has a lot of problems, but what the ideal that it conveys to normal people shopping in a grocery store (that the food is better for you, no pesticides etc., made by ppl not factories) is the spirit I'm trying to channel – I'm not making a literal/perfect 1:1 comparison
I’ve worked with devs whose first instinct is to whip out React for this use case. It really makes me question their skills.
"BitTorrent Roulette" sounds like a wonderful way to end up with child porn on your computer.
Carbon capture doesn't work in any sensible way as of now, the energy you're putting in exceeds what carbon is emitted producing it even if the storage part were figured out. The political "science" has completely decoupled from reality, this is Idiocracy.

> I’m genuinely unsure what purpose anti-islanding actually serves.

Because a typical solar inverter can't handle transient loads. It just spits out whatever power is coming in from the panels. It can't shed if too much is coming in and it can't magically create power to fix a shortfall. The power has gotta go or come from somewhere.

If you have a battery you can soak the transient load and disconnect from the grid and operate as an island but without the grid to act as a buffer for the load the inverter is useless on its own.
That other companies use shitty proprietary code to lock out competition doesn't make Apples attempt to do the same any better. It compounds the error and wasted effort. In fact Apple's is the worst of the lot you mention because at least you can use alternatives with the others.
I don't know that I necessarily agree with this, some of the more mature shows are also simultaneously their most popular offerings. (Squid game, black mirror, the Witcher, etc.)

And I for one am glad when a show is rated TV-MA because it means that they can be more authentic and unfettered in terms of the vision for the show instead of watering it down to appeal to a broader demographic. "Television is for families" is purely your subjective anecdotal experience. There is a reason the expression is "Netflix and chill", not "Disney and chill".

Conversely, if you're not interested in yet another marvel show or movie, Star Wars or old animated movies, Disney+ is a desert.
Any reason you don’t do, say 3 to 4 months of each service so you cycle through 3 or 4 services in a year to see everything that interests you
That's their problem, then. Every reasonable step is taken to explain what each system does. If people can't understand something that simple, then they probably should not be driving anything, let alone a Tesla.
Though Snap Spotlight feels like a tacked-on tiktok clone and the amount of ads on the non-friend stories is crazy.
kinopio isn't traditional mind mapping, think of it as just writing stuff down wherever until it makes sense. Hopefully we can agree that clear writing comes from clear thinking.
The thing is all of these are still here. There are a ton of artisanal websites, blogs and fansites. Lots of communities on IRC, MUDs... Yes it is a small percentage compared to all of current internet users, but still enough for you to spend several lifetimes reading and long hours participating into.

What part of the contract says: "if you don't want to pay back the loan, no problem, we'll just forgive it!" ?

I've never heard of a loan contract that says that.
One of the points that the article brings up is that a nuclear power plant takes around ten years to build, and that's ignoring the political red tape that you mentioned which would add on another 5+ years, plus the huge upfront capex costs.

With the energy industry changing so rapidly at the moment, that's a huge risk for anyone wanting to invest.

In that ten years for construction its likely that battery, solar, and wind prices all drop by two or three times. So by the time that the nuclear plant is completed its very likely to be far too expensive.

As the article mentions, the only future for nuclear is going to be small, cheaper reactors that are quick to construct.
Belarus potash exports, 18% of global supply, were also cut off in January due to US sanctions. This will force their dependence on Russia, with a Belarusian port on Russian soil, and for now they are struggling to export any of it.

People could literally be living on mars and some guy on Twitter will still be writing long tweet threads about how it’s all a con.
It seems strange to me that they'd want that rather than finding out up-front before they spent a much greater amount of money actually building something which might be rejected.
> Internet used to be much fun back then, and it may be the reason why most of the people have good memories about XP.

To some extend, but I think most people enjoyed XP mostly because it came after 98/ME, and before Vista, which I think are both much worse for different reasons.

I think it’s a bit crazy you have to pay rent on a property you supposedly own. I mean, out of thousands of items people own, shelter is the most basic essential need in life and yet it’s taxed at such extreme levels even after you’ve already purchased it. And this is somehow accepted as normal in the “developed world”

I don’t have to pay yearly to keep my shirt or my beanie baby collection or play station. All the frivolous stuff is tax free

I understand you pay to be in high value areas like near major transit and cities. But there ought to be rural low demand areas where people can live without being surfs all the time

I think it was a piece of music from another film, also by 20th Century Fox, that they used as a temp track, and Scott liked it so much he made it happen. Goldsmith was not best pleased.

It'll probably be the music for the opening titles, because when I bought the album in the 80s I was suprised (disappointed actually) that piece wasn't on it, and leaving off the opening titles is a real omission in a movie soundtrack.
Here in India, Whatsapp is pretty much a basic utility. A small vocal percentage moved to Signal around the time of Whatsapp's privacy policy furore. But anecdotally, most of them have moved back to Whatsapp because ditching it would mean ditching contact with most of their social circle.
WhatsApp is like the metric system. Used almost universally, except in the US.
Hmm, I dunno. Even if people were rude I think it was by consensus, not because they felt like they could get away with anything.
Kinopio isn't technically a mind mapping tool, it's a spatial thinking tool. The big distinction is you are not constrained to a single tree. You can write whatever you want wherever you want it and only connect what you want to connect – just like with paper and pens.
And when your old phone number gets re-used by the telco, some random person will start getting your messages.

A friend was quite freaked out when multiple afgans started messaging him on whatsapp on their "new" phone number. Apparently it formely belonged to a member of the local afgan diaspora.
Thankfully they ware able to get a new number from the telco to deal with it.
