It's the result of moronic short-sighted managers and HR departments that would rather pay replacements 50% more than the existing employee than to give the existing employee the 25% pay bump necessary to keep them.
>Boomers resigning, as long predicted.

Changes are probably at the margins but those can still be significant in the aggregate. There are obviously many people (of all generations) that can't afford to just pack it. But there are also a lot of Boomers, among others, who--thanks in part to a long bull market--don't have to keep working and there are a lot of reasons to imagine why now might be as good a time as any to wind down full-time employment.
Personally I love https://www.di.fm which is similar but geared towards electronic music. They have fantastic channels for most subgenres (think “dub techno”, “disco house” etc.) and they stream in 320kbps.

I don’t claim golden ears but Soma FM streaming at 128kbps seems needlessly outdated?
There is nothing unsafe about final classes, either. Non-final classes could be risky, but not enough to worry over.

So, some explanation is due here. My site is not ready for a public launch yet - I just made this post because of what I found out from testing with a small number of my friends. A few people followed my profile to find out what I am working on and now the cat's out of the bag - on the one hand I'm happy for the publicity but on the other hand I'm bummed that I'm not ready for it.

Believe me, the site was worse a few weeks ago - or at least a lot more basic. The feedback I got from the few people I showed that site to was quite positive though. As I made what I thought were improvements though I started getting more and more negative feedback hence the observation in my original post.

True, some of what I thought were improvements probably made the site worse. The lesson I've learnt is still valid though - I should have paid someone early on in the product development stage to take care of the UI.

I will pay someone this week to do that and hopefully launch properly sometime in June. I bet when I actually do a "Show HN" with a decent looking landing page it will not garner as much interest as this has - people love picking out mistakes!

Still, a big thank you to everyone who has provided feedback. I've fixed the obvious errors. Will tackle the others when I get the chance.
Dalle-2 has a secret language. “Apoploe vesrreaitais” means birds
This is really strange: I thought maybe I could use the wayback machine to look at the old site, but it only goes back to Nov 1998, where it has Apple content on it. Doing various searches I can't find a trace of the story. I searched the history on slashdot, which is probably where I heard about it, but no reference. Maybe it was Usenet...

But I can't find any references to it anywhere.

Much of the outrage at the time was: Hey, Apple, you already have Apple.com, why aren't you using apple.com/newton ? The owner of newton.com seemed to have as much right as Apple did to use the domain (it seemed to be his legal last name), and IIRC he had it for years before Apple released the Newton.

A bulk of the remaining animosity at the time was HOW Apple went after it. They didn't offer to buy it or negotiate with the guy that had it. Instead they went with: "This is ours now." through ICANN or whatever it was at the time.

Very similar to the nissan.com situation, except, you know, the individual still has nissan.com.

This was probably around the time that an article came out about domain squatting, which ended with: Does this mean that I could just go out and register mcdonalds.com ? E-mail me with your thoughts at: ronald@mcdonalds.com :-)
GraphPoem and the Social Function of Computational Performance
So why not do it every day of the week instead?

Doing enough work to survive is a fundamental part of life. Technology and society function to either make that work easier or lower the amount of work that needs to be done. Take either of those away and you're going to be spending much less weekends doing "nothing productive".

meta point is that this is why nuanced conversations on the (texted based) internet are a waste of time. You and the person you're quoting are not really talking about the same thing. In a conversation you would go back and forth and figure that out; on the internet that's not required.

> If adding energy storage to homes allows the grid to require less fossil-fuel burning peaker plants, while generating income for those homeowners, why wouldn't this be rightfully seen as a virtue?

Hmm, imagine the scenario where the truck owner inconveniently runs out of battery charge on the highway because the utility depleted it in favor of increasing generation. While all of your scenarios may seem virtuous to you, it’s not necessarily incorporating the perspective of the person who actually paid $1000s for the privilege of being left on the side of the road…

To me it feels like a bummer. Not to you?
I haven't had much luck with that. Here's an example of where you run into problems:

"You can do that by changing your code like this: [code] Let me know when you have the results."

"Okay, but I'm going to be busy for the next few days. Will post here when it's done."

{Three days later}: "Your suggestion worked! Let me know how to proceed from here."

You can either keep Zulip open all the time - which makes me cringe - or you can go without any form of notification. Then a week later you decide to check back and see the message, but they forgot to @ you.

>The game says I have 3 possible words remaining, but every Wordle solver website says I only have 2

Once you finish the game, if you have any rows with 25 or fewer valid words remaining (shown to the right of the row), the word count becomes clickable. It will open a modal that will show you the valid words remaining after that stage of the game. I went ahead and entered your same sequence of words, and the the other word remaining was SOCAS. That is a valid word in the NYT official Wordle game.

>Another point of confusion is that the first row says 2318 possible words, but there only seem to be 2309 words in the dictionary in the code

There are different word dictionaries in the code.
It should be noted that Biden and Democrats generally are getting blamed for this, but the House passed a measure today to address price-gouging by oil companies, and every single Republican voted against it.

Meanwhile, the oil companies are making substantially higher profits during this crisis.

Hard for the political system to address issues like this if we as a society are completely getting it wrong about who is exacerbating the problem, versus who is trying to solve it.

Puerto Rico, along with the mid to southern east coast of the US, along with coasts on the Gulf of Mexico, are not strangers to powerful hurricanes. As climate change gets worse, the impacts of these phenomena may increase. After Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico in September of 2017, it took *months* for power to be restored to most of the island [4]

Correct, it's server-to-client. The model I described above is a symmetric key cryptography design. A model where the client generates a public/private key pair and gives the server its public key when registering for mobile push notifications is also an option.

I agree it's possible in theory to reuse the API key for end-to-end encryption, but I don't think that's the right design. This is in part because the encryption algorithm may, now or in the future, have different requirements for format, key size, etc. But more importantly, a cryptographic weakness in the encryption algorithm should not allow an attacker to stealing API keys.

Ithkuil (Ithkuil: Iţkuîl) is an experimental constructed language created by John Quijada.[1] It is designed to express more profound levels of human cognition briefly yet overtly and clearly, particularly about human categorization.

Meaningful phrases or sentences can usually be expressed in Ithkuil with fewer linguistic units than natural languages.[2] For example, the two-word Ithkuil sentence "Tram-mļöi hhâsmařpţuktôx" can be translated into English as "On the contrary, I think it may turn out that this rugged mountain range trails off at some point."[2]

The worst part is that after you've added a property and clicked the big button you're forced to sign up or sign in. I can't even see whether or not the service is useful without creating an account and, with it, yet another vector for unsolicited communication (GDPR be damned, etc., and yes I have trust issues here).

Yeah, I realized before finishing my PhD that academia was a Ponzi scheme and I was one of the bag holders at the end. Tenure track positions haven’t been growing for many years now, yet degrees are being awarded at far higher than replacement rate.

> Electricity prices are going up just like gas, (although without the daily price changes).

Of course, but the increased stability comes from increased versatility. Building everything on gas is like building a food system exclusively on beef. Its bound to lead to fragility.

Having natural gas, coal, nuclear, and a plethora of renewals (in roughly that order, IIRC correctly) is great for stability.

> To make this world a better place we need to increase supply, not reduce demand. Ideally clean supply.....

Ok, maybe we actually are agreeing here. That's the best answer in the long run.
I remember having the same problem earlier in my career. I inherited a code base that was a million lines of code and 15 years old. Things I tried: printed out the nastiest 2000 line function on a giant piece of paper, logged every function entry. Things that worked well at the time: reading filtered logs of actual code execution, tracing through code to see how it works. What I would do if I could talk to me 10 years ago: Don't worry about the big picture. Trace through the code path relevant to your task and make sure you understand whatever inputs/outputs there are on that path. If there's something that makes 0 sense, ask a senior dev. After tracing through enough paths, you'll start to develop a mental map, in the same way you develop a mental map of a geographical location, after visiting about five locations in the same area. You get to know the main roads, highways, etc. You have a knowledge of the relevant paths; you don't always need a map of the whole city.

It’s not that they weren’t paying attention. It’s more that academics egos can’t handle the loss to their identity of not being an academic anymore.
This is exactly why I went with Powerwalls. The batteries charge during the day from our solar array and then we use the stored electricity at night.

I've only had the Powerwalls for a few months, but we've already had several four- and five-day stretches where our production was high enough and our usage low enough that we didn't buy any power from the utility at all. Contrast this with previous average power bills in the $400/mo range, which are now down to $15/mo.

There have also been a couple of brief power outages (5-10 minutes) where the only reason we knew about the outage was that the utility texted us about it before the Tesla app notification appeared on my phone.

Yes - normally some kind of major shock to the system is responsible - war, revolution etc.

A lot of the democratic institutions of the US were built after the war to prevent the prior issues. Sadly those memories are fading and the institutions are eroding as a result - leading back to the cycle you speak of.

Opportunity does fade. In ancient times you would compete with other people in your village.

A few days ago I was wondering what DALL-E would generate if given gibberish (tried to request which wasn't entertained). This sounds like an answer to that to some extent.

This isn't disinformation, and contrary to your comment, the Biden administration actually HAS come out to say that fossil fuels are a losing bet. That's why Biden made it such a huge priority in his platform to build sustainable, renewable energy capacity. And the public voted for it.

And then Republicans blocked it completely. So I think you need to get your basic facts straight.

BTW, Israel has nothing—absolutely nothing—to do with this. Not sure where you got that crazy idea, but it's time to move on from it.

> entire Woke enterprise

How are you defining "Work enterprise"?

Note: Work should be Woke. Error on my part.
An open-frame generator under load is going to be somewhere around 72-76 dB, and that's usually measured at around 20 feet. That is entirely too loud to be running overnight in a neighborhood when everyone's power is out, and thus things are dead quiet. Inverter generators, especially good ones, are more like 50-56 dB.

Maintenance requirements are usually spec'd by runtime; mine is oil change at 20 hours for break-in, then every 100 hours. It's not difficult, but it's annoying. Beyond that, if you aren't running it at least quarterly (I do monthly), you're risking it not starting when you need it. Not to mention the aforementioned fuel requirements - ethanol free is sometimes hard to find, and you need to keep a mental note of when you bought it so you can rotate fuel supplies.

It comes down to personal taste and willingness to be loud in your neighborhood, sure. If I'm going to spend the money on backup power, I first and foremost don't want there to be any question about its reliability. I trust Honda's engines and electronics. I also don't want to piss off my neighbors, or make myself an easy target of theft, so it needs to be as quiet as possible.

I like the article, but overall I think it's the same advice as "start small, limit scope, be ready to pivot" with a dash of "don't make enterprises an early customer". I obviously paraphrased quite a bit.

What is glaringly obvious from this article is that "enterprise" in this industry has lost much of its meaning. It's almost ubiquitous with "medium+", which I think is a self-defeating definition that starts to make sense only when you look at what features are commonly gatekept behind enterprise distributions of software.
You keep framing this as "how do I make sure I don't get into this situation again," but with the attention this is getting (#6 on HN) and just how bad the issue is (both functionally and PR-wise)... Cloudflare should really do a public post-mortem here. It sounds like it's their fault.
I sort of wonder what you mean by tools to pursue politics by other means. Presumably you mean guns, but the thing is that in the US the plutocrats created their own epistemic ecosystem and got all the people whose identity are wrapped up in guns (and own the majority of them) to buy into it - remember how we're not allowed to call them plutocrats since that's disrespectful; the preferred term is "job-creator". So now anytime the rabble get a bit restless, the job-creators just get another upper income tax cut. So I guess I'm curious when you say tools if you mean guns or information.

Public transport isn't the panacea that everyone always makes it out to be. It makes sense when you have heavily trafficked metro areas, but when you get outside of those (like most of the USA is) it's more efficient to use cars rather than empty buses and trains.

As for bikability, I can agree with that, but again when you have the vast suburban sprawl that the USA has it's not safe to bike and even if it was everything is so spread out in places that biking isn't a good option.
