Agreed, I did notice though that Twitter can adjust, and even skew search results and even trending topics any time they want to reflect any ideal they want.

We think of algorithms just being tailored towards our needs, but algorithms now are also tailored towards generating company profit, to limiting negative topics, towards censorship, and towards many other things that protect platforms first...

When bitcoin crashed for example, on Twitter there weren't a lot of people prominently screaming and cursing trending online, even though many lost their shirts, and were upset ant irate over the crash... They WERE cursing and screaming at a brick wall on Twitter though, the algorithms and moderation surgically muted and ratio'ed many of those users in order to "temper and quell" public outrage from developing against the crypto world, which Twitter is invested heavily into (rather coincidentally)....

This is the kind of modern world we live in now... We had a few years where apps were truly "social" but now, most things are carefully monitored and curated by the time we see them. This is also why you often don't directly (and consistently) see content posted from the people you follow now, on a consistently ordered time line, as well.

Alternatively, if I care what you have to say, you're probably not a professional writer. Maybe there's a better way to do it than we've seen so far, but I have yet to watch someone go that route without overhyping every little thing, stretching the truth, and then outright making stuff up.
I'm not sure that posting research showing that Leave voters' highest priority was immigration and their lowest priority by some distance was teaching politicians a lesson is the best way to rebut the GP's claim that immigration was much more important than a sense that politicians felt they could do what they wanted...

Not all malware is the same. If there was a malware bit of code that did nothing that brought attention to itself as it silently sat there retransmitting every piece of data you entered, every interaction with every website, every document created, etc, the owner of that malware would have access to so much information that they could so so many things with that data that may or may not directly affect the user of that device. That would not make that malware any less vile just because it didn't encrypt user data or something obviously hostile to the user like that attracting attention to itself. That type of malware is almost there with social media SDKs used in websites, apps, etc.

There are ways that I can't even imagine that other people can imagine how to use that data for nefarious means.
I wonder if this will cause issues in repos where changes can come from containerized apps syncing their runtime config to disk. Depending on the platform and the container framework, a lot of different things could potentially break here, from NFS-related to number of open files.

Society could apply industrialism to biological health and resiliency and a lot of free time to explore existence, but that won’t help vain angry men earn military prestige, or vain socialites earn social status if equality of condition was our social goal.

I don't question "concept of truth." Ironically, the truth is corrupted already.

To answer the question "is there any other kind" would be enough to provide one [just one] example of a truthful history book (it is ok if it is imprecise in details as long as it is accurate overall--think physics theories within their application domain--we are far far away from history resembling hard sciences).

The example would demonstrate falsehoods you believe in.

I think an ongoing, robust RSS ecosystem is a major thorn in the side of any substack-like business model.

Their target consumer (affluent/intellectual enough to pay for access to ideas) has access to a far wider variety of arguably better content if they're willing to build up a set of RSS feeds.

Maybe there's room to build a company on top of the RSS ecosystem, but it's difficult when free, feature-rich, and high quality alternatives exist.

FWIW, it does seem like Substack is trying to attack this space: https://on.substack.com/p/new-reader-homepage.

However, as a publisher/bundler of paid RSS feeds, they have a big conflict of interest in offering an RSS reader. Like Spotify and their "exclusive" podcasts, they have an incentive to push bland content and obscure the rich niches that make the RSS ecosystem actually-valuable.

I mean, for Kubernetes, Go literally displaced the prototype in Java. And the surrounding tools that are all now in Go, would likely have been in Java instead. You could say it's been successful in part because it's not Java and therefore Go "grew the market" instead of displacing anything, but I think that's pretty weak - some kind of DIY cluster management was coming, and the state of things is that Go snatched it from Java.

I think Go is quietly taking over some business domain applications, reminiscent of Python ca. 2003 a lot of companies I see are using it for a few key components that benefit heavily from memory savings of value types and/or easier naive concurrency, but they're relatively quiet about it. There's also a small but significant cohort of junior devs today who learned to program by making games on fantasy consoles or homebrew hardware projects, want to keep working with those data-oriented patterns they learned C and C++, and Go supports that style a lot more idiomatically than Java. As much as I sometimes rant about "kids today", more of the current generation know the true value of a MB or a ms better than that of 10 years ago (Rust is helping a lot here, too).

>>Real writers have day jobs.

True, there are actually some real writers worth reading on substack, but imo, not enough of them, and even less of them that I would be willing to pay to read - heck, I won't even pay to read a newspaper online anywhere as you can get it almost all for free someplace else with a few clicks.

Seems like an attempt to monetize free blogs, problem is, there are still plenty of other free blogs to read - they haven't gone away.
Exactly this. China doesn't allow TikTok as it exists in America to also exist in China, because they believe American TikTok is harmful to America and would be harmful to China as well.

Ask HN: How do you scale WebSocket?
Hi All,

I have a screen which displays QR code on browser screen & at the same time it opens a Websocket connection with my backend(Spring). Once the payment is done a Webhook response comes to one of my backend endpoint with the payment state(success/failure) & other order details.

The application is working fine if it is running locally or with only single instance. But since we have our own Auto scaling group and load balancer configured over DNS, the connection is not getting established all the time.

So, how exactly shall this be architectured so as to scale the same horizontally? I don't have any DB configured as of now. I have thought of using SNS with SQS but it seems they are way too many overheads. How do big companies like WhatsApp scale?

I've come to terms with the notion that my 10yr marriage is ok. Not perfect, but also not bad. I see it as a partnership - and so does she.

But if I ever got to the point where I was unhappy in her company, persistently, I think it would benefit everyone to separate. Maybe temporarily at first to see how it is for us.

I don't think anyone, including your wife, would expect you to stay unhappy just because you made that offer to her 10 years ago.

> Imagine that power efficiency on servers. Saving so much energy.

There's no magic in those chips. Power efficiency is a design parameter you may optimize for or not, and ARM server chips dissipate more power because they have a lot more cores, more memory controllers, more cache, more IO, and, in general, a lot more stuff than a personal computer CPU would make sense to have. Computation per computation, they are not far from each other.

Intel's x86 ISA mandates a more computation to happen per amount of useful computation served - lots of memory write reordering, lots of instruction alignment (instructions can have from 1 to 15 bytes, IIRC) and other operations that do not translate into anything useful for the user beyond a higher IPC if your instruction stream is just right, but, also dissipate a lot of power for that.
While that was a rhetorical point in the Brexit campaign, in reality the nameless unelected bureaucrats in Brussels were simply replaced by nameless unelected bureaucrats in London

Every Western "democracy" suffers from the same fundamental problem - entrenched deep state, and a lack of feedback loop towards it. It's extremely hazy where, how and by whom decisions are truly made, and as a consequence, nobody ever faces any consequences if those decisions flop. People like Biden, Harris, Johnson or Truss are so glaringly incompetent that nobody even suspects them to have any input into the decision process, they're simple announcers. Elections allow us to change the announcers, but change nothing about the deep state that ultimately dictates the policies. Brussels works the same way, it's just makes the fundamental problem more obvious

My only small tip for readers here is be careful treating any node as a safe backup.

A device that accidentally deletes everything in a folder will propagate out if you don't notice it happened.

But TBH in practice (as a very heavy user for my usecase) it's very rare, and a traditional backup system will cover you perfectly.

However, alcohol is quite an irritant and (along with caffeine) is the first thing a doc will tell you to cut out if you have intestinal problems

I'm not a TikTok "apologist" but I think these kinds of concerns about data privacy aren't very useful. At best you're just picking which terrible relationship to be in and which company you're okay with harvesting your data - for whatever purposes.

IMO a better use of time and effort would be to create mechanisms that make these kinds of tracking less impactful. We have avenues for technical solutions to these kinds of problems and decentralized systems. Whenever we attempt to spread adoption to them we are often met with the argument that "just using X big company platform is easier".
The idea of China as adversary as logic for nixing TikTok is funny to me. But when we want a microwave for $29, well there are some things that we can live with.

Memcached exists for two reasons: Popular languages that hit inflection points when in-memory caches exceeded a certain size, and network cards becoming lower latency than SATA hard drives.

The latter is a well known and documented phenomenon. The moment popular drives are consistently faster than network again, expect to see a bunch of people writing articles about using local or disk cache, recycling old arguments from two decades ago.
It seems odd to me that the FCC should be doing things regarding trade and geopolitics. If they've got a need to create regulations based on technology or other matters relating to, you know, Communications, that's one thing. But trying to get a seat at the table for international diplomacy seems quite a stretch.

It's kinda like the FDA earlier this year declining to approve a covid-19 vaccine not because it was ineffective (it wasn't!) or because it was dangerous (it wasn't!) but because they thought that saying that one brand was OK for kids but the other wasn't (yet) would be confusing and send a bad "message". The FDA's job is to help us identify what pharmaceuticals are safe and effective, not to worry about messaging.
> an adversary at scale.

TikTok stores data on US soil. That's part of the deal brokered by the self-claimed best deal maker Mr. Trump.

If there is unauthorized data access from inside China, then that's an issue to be investigated.

So, where is the evidence of the large-scale data access from inside China to TikTok data?

I agree that Substack needs a better content/writer discovery mechanism, like having categories or tags per article/post so that readers can find related articles by subject/genre/type to the one they enjoyed reading.

Unfortunately, Substack wants to do an internal reference or "recommendation" system that basically mimics a closed clique. Those that know other writers may get a friend to "recommend" their newsletter, but it will very likely not be anything that the readers of this friend are interested in since the recommendation may have nothing to do with the content, or the merits of the recommended writer, it's just who they know.

I think people are interested in the content, in a subject, or a genre/type of writing, like humor, advice, reviews, etc. They may want to spend more time with a subject rather than being given irrelevant recommendations based on who the writer reads.
For some reason this thread makes me think of this Steve Balmer on KLOCs rant.

> Substack, which takes a cut of its writers’ subscription fees, generated about $9 million in revenue last year, The New York Times reported. That means the funding discussions valued the company at a hefty premium relative to its financial results. Substack was said to be valued at $650 million last year after the company closed a $65 million funding round.

By any yardstick, a price/sales ratio of 72 is ludicrous. It's the kind of thing that can only happen within the safety of a financial bubble.
Depends on if you want it to survive without you maintaining it. If so, something like a bog-standard Wordpress blog hosted by them might work until they decide they don't want to bother anymore.

Otherwise, some setup using S3-as-a-website or GitHub pages may work, but those also depend on the company maintaining that service.

If your entire website can be dropped into a ZIP file and served anywhere, you have a greater chance in it surviving, especially if the internet archive got a copy at some point.

But if you die and nobody cares about the content, eventually it will disappear.
