The main issue with all apps like this is not the reverse-engineering, which is relatively straightforward, but the fact that HN sits behind Cloudflare, with the WAF and ratelimiting enabled.

It's not possible to achieve capability-parity just *reading* HN as the API does not return comment karma, which is used to sort the view. (I think this is the subtler half of why HN reader sites never catch on - the interesting comments are never at the top, so the presented content is very noticeably that much more boring.)

So a while back I tried building a simple scraper component (an internal API, I guess) that would use Firebase for realtime updates, and strategically poll the site (say one request every 3-5 seconds) to get the current sort order. I never got to the Firebase part because I crashed into Cloudflare while fiddling around tuning the ratelimiting.

So yeah. You need full Chrome (to satisfy whatever Cloudflare's WAF throws at you) and a captcha-solving subscription (because the WAF will get the flyswat out when it sees your datacenter IP) to be able to do this properly - especially if you want to APIify this sort of thing.
Its not just awful mods, its awful paid admins. It was a step in the right direction to ban hate speech. The people they hired have decided that being mean to racists is “hate speech”, while ignoring actual hate speech and letting racist spaces thrive. This is not what people meant when they asked reddit to do something about hate speech.
I think it's just too soon?
It's honestly astonishing to see how poorly the leadership team at Reddit has been executing. People shit on Twitter (Zuck called Twitter "a clown car that fell into a gold mine") but Reddit is so much worse.

The fact that Reddit didn't have a decent mobile app until a few years ago is unbelievable. Indie-developers were shipping a better reddit mobile apps than the company.

Are you sure? I read https://stakedy.com/long/how-staking-on-stakedy-works.html and it sounds like the articles are (or at least can be) written by people.
How do you explain that I've negotiated lots of these "take it or leave it" contracts?

The only contracts you can't negotiate are government job contracts and union jobs. Which is one reason I'm not interested in either of those job categories.

> bank contract

Haha, I once negotiated a large loan from my bank at an interest a full percent below their official floor. I'm not even very good at negotiating, some people I know are much better.

> telecom contract

Have you ever said the magic words: "that sounds high, can I get this for a lower price?" The salesmen are allowed to negotiate. The initial price they quote you is the sucker price.

Every time I've been to the dealer for car work, all I have to do is balk at the quote and 10% comes right off.

This is not a special skill. Anybody can do it. Fer gosh's sake, you're expected to negotiate.
In general, when somebody is advising you against discerning, untangling and questioning, chances are, you are being manipulated.
The lifestyles not that different, except the relative value of the currency you use on apparently a daily basis has dropped 52% this year? Do you hold bitcoin, or just convert whatever your employer pays you in fiat into btc every two weeks? With a limited number of potential retailers, how do you comparison shop? How do retailers handle pricing and the volatility of bitcoin?

I just don't see how this is at all possible. Like, who are you paying bitcoin to for flights?
It sounds like it has a large overlap, but not exactly the same.

E.g. a liquor store isn't "run down and gives the atmosphere that crime is OK" but it's possible that more crime will happen there.
Rust just opens up the kimono and exposes bare metal details about strings.

A string with quotes goes into the executable.

A `String` exists at runtime and is an entire string.

An `&str` is a slice of a string: it points to an existing string for a certain number of characters.

Not all programs or programmers require this amount of knowledge, but if you want to understand programming at a deeper level, Rust is a great tool to dive into the deep end to understand complex topics about programming languages.
> like we approach discussions around kubernetes

I've already deployed my CloudNative Political Belief System in a fault-tolerant EKS cluster with a fully implemented CI/CD pipeline.

> Yes i wish people would stop being so emotional about their rights being stripped from them

On a more serious note, I appreciate this sarcasm as my wife and I were devastated about this news because of how we feel it impacts us (we're done with having kids and the idea of getting pregnant again due to the rare chance of contraceptive failure is pretty scary for us). I feel like I am pretty sympathetic to the intention behind being both "pro-life" and "pro-choice" and this decision to overturn Roe vs Wade still made me feel very upset.

As this sarcastic comment eludes to, I am sure that others are far more devastated by this (imagine if you were a pregnant person planning on getting an abortion in Texas right now). I definitely have been re-evaluating my lack of sensitivity when I have asked or expected others to be level-headed when something infringes on what they feel is important. It has been a paradigm shift for me to feel so impacted by this -- and I'm not even a woman. My reaction to Roe vs Wade being overturned has definitely has highlighted my privilege in my life.

I'm not saying the parent comment of asking for less emotion in politics is being insensitive -- I just have always held a similar perspective of "less emotion in politics would be better for everyone" and for me I think it was often coming from a place of privilege.
> What you call "Science^TM", I actually call a bunch of ideologically motivated sophistry with no hard evidence behind it. Science isn't based purely on authority, a bunch of "Science^TM" organisations spouting nonsense on their public facing web page doesn't make the nonsense science, it just reduces the organisations' credibility.

Science has prestige nowadays, so many people (including many actual scientists!) are motivated to associate unrelated ideological positions with it in order to exploit that prestige for the benefit of those other positions. IMHO, when someone says something like "I believe in Science," they're usually talking about that unrelated ideological stuff.
I suppose the pendulum could swing the other way one day. It might be a fashion thing. People might get tired of seeing attractive people in media all the time. Speaking for myself, I'm genuinely tired of seeing actors looking way too attractive and made up in movies. Let's go back to people looking like regular people who don't have a team of wardrobe and makeup artists behind them.
I don't think the venting will be beneficial if it ends up in a debate.

Talking about abortion will be more likely to stir up a debate than talking about the storming of the Capitol.
Did you even read the article? It doesn't work.
Looks very nifty. This is definitely more in line with what I was looking for.
Yep, and then you do an anti-vaccine-mandate rally in Canada, one idiot with a swastika shows up, and then media goes on for weeks how everyone opposing vaccine mandates is a Nazi.
Forget about DataClasses, TypedDict etc.
Can't you achieve the same in python with a class and a dict? Is there a difference, other than perhaps being overloaded with options?
I agree with making music scratching the same itch. Honestly working as a remote dev sometimes feels like playing a video game.
The matching of buyers and sellers is a hard problem. When there's a limit order book, meaning bid and ask resting orders on NYSE, by definition the buyers and sells can't be matched.

To "match buyers and sellers", one needs to buy from someone at time T, and hope to sell to someone else at time >T, during which time the market could have gone up or down. It's a risk-taking processes and a problem that's underappreciated by those who never actually tried to look at the basics of how an exchange works.

Also the best bid and offers on exchanges are often already market makers. To say you "don't need" market makers because of liquidity is a bit circular.
Destroying various environmental resources is completely a repeated game (for example, look at superfund sites).

If in the future it's decided that I made my money unethically and it needs to be redistributed, I guess I'm fine with that so long as the same standard is applied to everyone's money. I think it'll be close to a great reset, but whatever. I'm not thrilled by the idea, but it might have to happen.
It's not the name, it's the fact that shorting is nothing more than borrowing and selling. Regulating it would mean regulating debt.

Perhaps borrowing should involve disclosing other positions in some way.

The difference here is that many people involved in Web3 are scammers.

And they are specifically targeting people who are financially unsophisticated.

For example, Logan Paul when he promotes NFT projects to his young audience which he knows full well are rug pulls and will result in them losing their money.
Yes, like PHP. In so many ways.

They don't work in the way you would think for dataclasses or at all for dicts/TypedDicts.

similarly, webapps have eaten desktop software because you don't have to raise a ticket with IT to get approval for a software install.
I would generally say, "ask for forgiveness not permission if you'll be fine walking back your decision later."

Forgiveness often makes sense at work, at least for software engineers, and for modest decisions. Do things the way you think is best instead of getting blocked for weeks looking for permission. If, later on, someone comes knocking and wanting to change it, fine, whatever.

However, taking the "forgiveness" route with more important / harder to change / expensive things - like building some addition to your house, building a software business separate your software job - is a recipe for disaster.
That makes no sense. A 26 week old premature baby that is born is still at a high risk of death. We don't know if it will survive. Yet we give it the full protection of any human being, but if one hour ago it was in the womb, we don't.
Adding Modules to C in 10 Lines of Code [pdf]
Even faster: use the X register instead of A, because there's an increment instruction for it (INX) that takes only 2 cycles instead of 3 to do LDA with the next value.

Also FYI, that 6 cycles to load/store each byte is only if you're writing to zero page (an 8-bit address, meaning the first 256 bytes of the address space.) Stores to a 16-bit address take one more cycle, 4 instead of 3, to read the operand when it's a two-byte address instead of one.
IIRC there was similar language in 'trigger' laws in some other states but I don't have a link to a good overview site and so am just pluralizing on the strength of that recollection.
A person who "disagrees" with a federally protected right can simply not exercise that right (don't get an abortion.)
The fun part of audio is that there's multiple ways to do it. You can use spectrum analysis, impulse response, harmonic frequency, beamforming, triangulation and more. Some would be easier than others in this situation, but you could technically use any of them to pick this lock.
This has been around for a while, but I recall it was incredibly slow compared to even qemu. Has that improved?
This seems like gibberish to me, can you explain further? How did you derive this.. hypothesis

TFA explains it as:

> As an outgrowth of study of the quantum Zeno effect, it has become clear that applying a series of sufficiently strong and fast pulses with appropriate symmetry can also decouple a system from its decohering environment.
Nordic European winters are great for startup builders though :)
Aha, thank you!
"On average, you take approximately 0.05 seconds to form your opinion of a website"

This is a misquote of a paper (and I don't see peer-review details) from 2006. I don't see how anybody was getting .05 second response on the web in 2006.
It's historically important, unlike most stories on HN which seem recently to be about navel gazing outdated hardware. But HN does HN - y'all are millionaires and I understand many topics of actual revelence to the majority don't have much affect on the nouveau bourgeoisie here who are primarily white, male, and straight. I guess I answered my own question.

Good luck with being uncomfortable bald. Maybe it's not the baldness you're actually uncomfortable with.
The decisionmaker who praised is probably different from the one who told you no.
Due to RSI long ago I replaced video games with board games.
I do play some video games now on occasion, for example interactive fiction and VR dance games and The Forest VR.
The difference is that it kills the environment by using massive amounts of electricity. That criticism is fundamental: There is no viable "web3" offering not doing that.
I don't have a suggestion, but it seems to me that "just move if you don't like it" is not obviously a better option than "just try to get it changed if you don't like it".
> Also WoW: Shadowlands had massive lag for shared zones, fancy cloud tech could probably help a bit

Actually, high lag in shared zones has been for the past several expansions been because of cloud tech. Sometime around Cataclysm they switched from dedicated hardware to cloud shards, and since then lag in packed zones has been bad because the shards that get spawned are almost never big enough to keep up with the load.

This is exacerbated by ever more complex combat — a large battle between players in Shadowlands is many times more demanding than the same size battle in original WoW.

Immutability is nice but now your data migration needs quadratic memory
indexing has robots.txt to define fine grained rules for what you want to be indexable, github repos only have public or private.

So I think there needs to be some way of determining it. If they think it's fair use that also means they wouldn't think it was wrong to train it on public repos in gitlab, etc. Do they already train on repos outside Github?
Do you consider a dish washer to be a physical robot? A self-driving car?

Not that IRB is too onerous. We still get IRB approval. But approval can come with an exemption from informed consent when it involves research on normal educational practices.

Make a Rosetta Stone type project for it.

There was this Yiddish/Hebrew program for the Mac, but the programmer died and nobody has the source code and it stopped working.

Make it free or open source so it can continue with the Aramaic language.
The 6502 can only address 2^16 bytes of memory, so you could just build that as a modern L1 cache. Heck, you might even be able to put 2^16 registers on the die these days. (You could say this falls under your "exotic ram" clause.)

You could also do pipelining and parallel/out-of-order execution like modern processors, if you weren't worried about retaining cycle-for-cycle compatibility. You could even build it with a wider bus, so that you could read all of a 2/3/4 byte instruction in one cycle. Although at that point it's really semantics as whether you call it a 6502 or a new processor with binary compatibility.
I think there's a bit of a difference between rules of what I can say in internal communication channels at work vs rules of what I can say in general.
This really blew me away, what a spiral through beckoning madness. Glad there was a clear winner among possible solutions, but coming away I feel that OOP has serious problems.

FWIW this kind of thing is handled so nicely in Julia, via the type system and multiple dispatch.
Really? An entire Wikipedia article filled with detailed explanation of the phenomenon and its cause is an appeal to the stone? Really? Sorry, but that is absurd.
>The “majority of implied rights” do not rest on the right to privacy. For example, interracial marriage (*Loving v. Virginia) was decided on Equal Protection grounds, although privacy was a secondary basis.

That's enough for the court to hear a case on it again. Along with cases on gay marriage, anal sex and contraceptives.

A year ago I made the case that if we can force people to divulge their vaccination status then we can force people to divulge their sexual history. If a new disease showed up we could well ask if they had anal sex and lock them up in quarantine if they had.

With the current outbreak of monkeypox and the current court that isn't a thought experiment any more.

Liberals have spent the last decade hacking away at the right to privacy as hard as they could, the vaccine mandates being only the latest and greatest attack on personal freedoms from the party which supposedly stood for individual rights. This is not rocket science. Anyone could have seen this coming, but we were too busy owning the conservitards to notice that we were destroying the bedrock of the last 50 years of social progress.

Well here we are.
I would argue that people with ADHD noticed this problem before anyone else, simply because they were the first to suffer from it.
You are right in that I don't do rallies. But anger at the situation led me to join this one, where I was promptly reminded why I find political types so repulsive.
He's obviously not referring those subreddits. If you read the piece he's talking about subs like r/news, r/politics, r/worldnews, etc.

If you don't think r/politics is an echochamber then I don't know what to tell you.

r/fatFIRE was a great subreddit I used to visit frequently but it grew very quickly over the past few months and the mods haven't scaled accordingly. The moderation has gotten really, really bad over the past few months and the sub is now just filled with dumb posts like "what handbag do rich people buy"? It used to be far more technical, interesting discussions around real estate investing, taxes, etc.
I hear you. Good idea. I think the core idea that you can’t use data to support marketing or sales is right. And, I’d support a blanket ban on selling the data, except when you are selling the company in a manner that continues the educational purposes.
“And that, my friends, is why MP-3 took off instead of the far better
follow-on system we were on the cusp of getting out the door.”

I dunno, maybe the technical problem from the beginning was distribution and installs and not actually compression. Maybe lawyers suck, but maybe Plan 9 was actually more for entertainment than anything else.
Can anyone point me to a web3 website? With all this talk of it, I'm not sure I've seen one example.

My point is. With Linux and FOSS software, you do not necessarily need to treat programs as hostile. By default, most software is open and can be audited. If you decide to extensively use proprietary software then you have bigger problems that even Little Snitch cannot solve.

There are better alternative routes you can take that do not involve a "MITM" for all your connections.
Talk to an immigration attorney first.

An F1 visa has significant limitations regarding work.

Violation of its terms could get you deported.

Deportation from the US often comes with a long term ban on entry.

If it doesn’t seem reasonable to pay an attorney for $16/user/month, that is an indication that the potential business is not actually viable…legal fees are an ordinary operating expense for a viable business.

Keep in mind that what you are considering leaves a clear paper trail should ICE decide to investigate.

Good luck.
>We can tweet angrily all day long, but those in power are going to continue doing what they do because they know we're just going to tweet about it and that just doesn't matter.

Oh, those in power are actively manipulating you to be upset about things that do not interfere with their profits. Somehow, nobody is protesting against unviability of single-income households, lack of retirement savings, part-time employment/independent contractor bullshit used to skirt regulations, etc. It's always Worker Alice against Worker Bob and never Workers against the Corporation.

You all would enjoy the density of Twitter more
I hate how many online communities have centralized themselves around reddit and discord. I'm involved a lot of communities and fandoms where everybody congregates on those two platforms, and those two platforms alone. Things were a lot better in the 00s when these sorts of communities existed primarily on webforums.

That said, I'm not sure how many of the problems are problems with reddit itself vs how many of the problems would still exist on other platforms even if reddit didn't. Forum moderators have always had a reputation for being napoleonic idiots who abuse their power for extremely petty purposes. The problem of corporations and wealthy celebrities buying out moderators and admins to push their narratives and silence criticisms of their products[1] could easily have happened on webforums.

There's an unfortunate drive towards centralization in online communities these days that we'd all be better without. I personally think fediverse is the best solution to this as it centralizes communities without centralizing the actual platform, but I'm not so confident it will succeed when it's up against well-funded and well-established platforms like facebook, reddit, etc.

[1] i don't have any real proof there's a monetary interest involved, but I'm perma-banned from /r/startrek for saying that the creators behind "Star Trek: Picard" and "Star Trek Discovery" probably aren't even fans of Star Trek based on the shows' many discontinuities with their predecessors, and it makes me wonder if the mods are on paramount's payroll or something. This should not be a controversial statement after how terrible the most recent season of Picard was.
