It's not just gamers. The Internet has spawned a culture of "no consequences for letting your Id come out to play."

If I walk up to Big Bad John, and call him a rude name, he will knock my teeth out.

That's called "immediate negative feedback." Consequence immediately follows action.

On the Internet (although this kind of thing predates the Internet. The Internet just commoditized it), this negative feedback loop is removed. The response is just more bad words, and a good troll learns to actually savor this type of response (I know of what I speak. I was once ... not so well-behaved ... on the Internet –even pre-WWW).

Positive feedback is treated as "weak," or "syrupy" (to be fair, a lot of it is like Cute Overload[0]), and folks who try to remain positive are usually relentlessly attacked. I know of this, because I try to remain positive, and not "go there," when confronted by negativity. I assume I come across as "Snotty"[1].

Better than the alternative; believe you me...

When I hear people defending extreme hate jockeys, they always say "[S]He's just saying what everyone is thinking."

There's a reason that we don't say everything we think.

I don't have the time to go through every link, but let's just look at one or two:

> https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31947177

I mean, the article linked at the top is just outrageous - just read through it. For instance, it claims that V misleads by claiming that it has no null. But really what the author has done is found a bug in V that allows a variable to be set to null. A bug that unintentionally leads to creation of null is wildly different than V not supporting non-nullability at all. It'd be like using FFI in Rust to set a non-nullable variable to null and claiming that meant Rust had no type safety. It's absurd.

I can understand the maintainer's frustration.

> https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31947212

OP claims V has "huge promises it hasn't kept". V is version 0.3. This seems wildly unfair.

> https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31946715

OP kicks a conversation in poor faith with "Wanna know something funnier also posted in previous thread?" about a V bug - which HN turns a blind eye to - and then suddenly the HN community pounces on the V maintainer when he gets frustrated in return? What?
I have a feeling that someone like Samy Kamkar is already thinking about writing a convenient tool to replace the fingerprint of one camera with that of another on a photo.

I experienced just the opposite: in 2008 at Google we were extremely grateful that there were no layoffs. The only change was that we had to drink cleaned tap water instead of bottled water (and of course there were still people complaining about it :) ), and we got a chance to reset our options at a lower base price in return for resetting the 4 year timer as well (it was a great deal of course).

You beat me to it! This timecoded link shows the launch sequence of the Sprint with a tracking shot of the vehicle itself. Pretty remarkable watching it start to glow white:

I think this is the first video on that channel where the subject can match the guy's cadence. It's a great overview of the development of the Sprint though, worth watching if it's of interest.

Here's a real world example of an identifier for a meme I just made using one of the linked sites in that table: https://didme.me/did:meme:1zgs0ue8me4gt3ls5uvq87n7v7ykhrvr50...

On the one hand, it seems like this is going to be (and/or is currently being) used by NFT peddlers, but on the other hand it's not like we'll be seeing less NFTs and cryptocurrency garbage if this spec dies.

However, I also can't think of any interesting use-cases for this that don't involve cryptocurrency/NFT garbage. Some of the example use-cases seem range from being consumer rights and privacy nightmares, to being just uninteresting ideas that can be implemented without DID.

The Transferable Skills Credentials[1] case for example seems to be trying to make a case for adding an NFT/minting schemes as a middle-man for certification programs. What value could that possibly add? Certification programs are centralized by design, so the only "gain" would be that the certification authority doesn't need to maintain a database of the certifications it gives out...or something like that?

Also the "Cross-platform User-driven Sharing"[2] one reads like some sovereign citizen wet dream (in semi-broken English). Franklyn is a military war veteran with two young daughters and he is very concerned about protecting their privacy online, so he writes HIS OWN terms of service that companies need to agree with if they want to do business with him. After a long probationary period, he decides to share more information with services (like a shopping list!), but he keeps his finger on the trigger at all times (the delete my DID button) in case the company gets any ideas.

I didn't realize the W3C had become such a clown show.

I will give you that. What’s been shocking to me is that, while the Trump right is antagonistic to China, they see China as the highly capable future superpower that it is. Ironically it’s the anti-Trump left that dismisses China as a backwater that won’t ever be able to do anything but “steal IP.”

I used to think that way. I joked with my engineer friends 15 years ago about Huawei copying American-designed routers down to the English silk screening on the circuit boards. Seeing Huawei pump out their own state of the art switching and router chips disabused me of that notion.
> tl;dr I can't understand getting mad at the Internet for being the Internet
> in 2022, it will never get better, if anything it will only get worse [...]

If I may provide an alternate tl;dr to your comment: "People are being absolute rude, disrespectful assholes; which is absolutely fine. Ron Gilbert asked for this abuse by making things. The real issue is that he disabled comments on his own blog, where people should be firmly allowed and encouraged to shit on his work."
You're right but that's gross competence, not gross incompetence. The job of the CEO is to keep the firm going, not to make employees happy. Most of the time the two coincide, but sometimes they don't. The CEO works for the board of directors/shareholders, not for the employees.
One CEO I know sent a company wide email with a subject line "Explanation???" and a body consisting of a screenshot of an employee's LinkedIn profile where it stated that he was open for work.

I thought blasting it was a mistake, but it wasn't. The employee, upon seeing that, quit on the spot. The CEO tried to convince him to stay and have a conversation, and the employee didn't want to hear anything after that.

I think he even just forgot to update that thing, but that paranoia and lack of tact and class pushed him to actually look for work elsewhere.
There's the Peltier Effect, which only has the itty bitty downside of requiring about 4 times as much power as a traditional compression-based cooling system.
Excellent point. As a matter of legal principle in the United States you can't unilaterally disclaim liability for future injuries. Signs that say "not responsible for accidents on these premises" don't hold up when you run a retail store where people are expected to freely to come and go as they please.

More concretely: a perfectly reasonable judge could decide a dangerous step-by-step how-to guide negates the prior "for entertainment purposes only" warning. There's a reason Jackass frequently had skull-and-crossbone warnings and didn't show much of their set up, just the results

"Political donations matter" is one of the biggest lies sold to the American people by politicians and those who make their money from political donations. There's a certain bar to be reached, but once you hit that, I don't think you move the needle much.

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/money-and-elections-a-c...

Much, much, MUCH more powerful than donations are just talking with the politicians and letting them know which way the wind lies, and letting you 'adjust' things for your benefit. And this can and will happen without any money changing hands at all.
Oddly enough I’ve seen a lot of YouTube ads but can’t remember ever seeing any for crypto. I get an absolute shit-ton that are obviously aimed at people with school-age kids (example: the guy who wants to show me how flerbly can polish up his rough draft of his book report every five minutes). I think the statement “YouTube runs a lot of _____ ads” is more a statement about what YouTube thinks about you (or maybe your IP address) than it is a statement about YouTube.
As someone who was both home-schooled and went to public school, you are buying into the mythos around school too much. I had my own experiences when I was homeschooled that were far better than "enduring the horrors of PE".
It sounds like you’re just arguing that no country in the world has wealth distributed equally enough? Japan is some where around #15 in global equality rankings, well above other nations that have been rich for far longer.
That actually look pretty neat - I've wanted for a while now for my browser to be more "research" oriented, with ways of grouping all those related tabs that are all trying to answer the same question, or represent the same line of inquery.
Neither. It bypasses paywalls and opens the discussion up to everyone, which is the main reason why it's used on HN, or the discussion on each article would only be between the (relatively few) subscribers of that particular site and those who haven't used up the "3 free views for this month" quota.
It's not one extreme or the other. I don't know what was said exactly, but certainly there's some middle-ground - something along the lines of "right now we don't have any layoffs planned and we'll do everything we can to prevent any, but we can't predict the future, especially with the current state of the economy, so certainly can't make any promises".
I'd go with "malk".
Some plastics are worth something like 10x more than glass in the recycling market. I think PET is the big one.
You have a valid question and I'm also interested in this. It's always a good first step to get to understand the opposing view.
Like Ron Gilbert wrote in one of his previous blog posts, Monkey Island 1 and 2 were (what is today called) pixel art because pixel art was "state of the art" at that time. He already (co-)created a retro pixel art game with Thimbleweed Park, no need to do it again...
Because life insurance companies make profits by:

a) overcharging you for covering the risk of you dying too early (death insurance is marketed as 'life' insurance)

b) overcharging you for covering the risk of you living so long that you run out of money (fixed annuities).

Keynes had a theory that wages are sticky-down meaning they rarely decrease.

My guess is tech salaries will stagnate for a while. But with poor performance of RSUs and inflation eating into purchasing power this will essentially be a pay cut.
Essentially when microwaves were introduced the 2.4GHz spectrum wasn't allocated from my understanding, and USA proposed the current allocation as global one so that nobody would try to depend on it and then suddenly face interference from airliner's microwave oven (for example while on the ground) - this move preempted various legal issues of including the devices in airplane equipment and probably made for easier spread of microwave ovens in general as they got cheaper (because less certification etc.)
Read past the first line. My kneejerk reaction was that it was terrible to speculate the type of cancer. But the rest of the comment makes it clear that he was not guessing to sound smart, he was doing it to inform and start a discussion on that type of cancer.
I went through both 2001 and 2008. Maybe crypto is relatable, but beyond that it's not close. Overall, companies have great balance sheets now. The VC funded, questionable businesses will have some washouts. But, in 2008 the whole financial system was coming apart - not localized at all. I remember going long on BofA and thinking if they go under it doesn't matter if I lose my investment.

Cigarettes are only expensive because of the taxes.
Yes. Borrow checking is unrelated to dynamic memory allocation. The borrow checker checks that references point to valid memory. The location of that memory is not relevant.

Also, Rust is more than a borrow checker. My day job is working on an embedded system that has zero dynamic allocation, and Rust’s other features are still very valuable to us, independent of the borrow checker (which also does bring value, to be clear.)
It's easier to evenly heat a vertical slice of bread, for one. Most times I've used a toaster oven I've ended up with one side cooked much more than the other. Plus a horizontal toaster oven takes up a lot more counter/cabinet space, which is at a premium in a lot of kitchens. (I don't have a fancy toaster or fancy sandwich accessories, but I do really like the idea of multiple-use appliances.)

> I've seen it on HN also. Someone creates a thing, and then people pour out of the woodwork to lump horrible criticism.

I said this a while ago as well[1], but there's a strong bias towards people who are unhappy with $something (for any value of $something). If you think everything is just great then you don't actually all that much to say beyond "hey, looks great!" Sometimes you can expand that to a paragraph of two about what you like, but overall it's hard to write a substantive comment. But if you're not happy with something then it's much easier to write a paragraph or two about what you're unhappy with.

Honestly, I'm not well balanced enough to home school. I'm afraid taking on primary schooling would cause expectations for my kid to be too high. Also, I feel that socialization with other kids (learning to make/maintain friends), interaction with (other) adults and having a structured routine is more important.

Probably most importantly, I'm fairly confident in the competence in my local public elementary (great teachers and lots of parent volunteers)

I'd would consider co-op, but most groups are too small or unorganized.

> It is dangerous that people consider layoff as a performance indicator for the employee.

Hard agree.

I've hired high performers from dumb layoff situations like start-ups going belly-up, companies resizing, contracts getting prematurely terminated, etc. I wouldn't consider a layoff a negative metric unless the interviewee outright admitted "they were trying to get rid of me."

I'm always shocked when people bring it up as signal vs. noise in regards to interviews.
The common view on HN seems to be that google products optimize for promotions, and not even executive or entry level promotions, primarily middle management promotions.

I don’t think it’s entirely true as hopefully the finance department has folks smart enough to realize if headcount is adding negative value or positive value.
Or perhaps all first-time hires are looking at jobs that don't provide ANY of the last three, so they pick the first to not feel dumb.
For me,if the company is apolitical and doesn't do something if find wrong on a moral level, I'm fine with them. If they push garbage on me in DIE training or celebrates causes I don't agree with, I'm willing to take a paycut to not work there.
It's because of the all of these places getting involved in politics that it becomes an issue for me.
Archive links get posted in the comments to bypass paywalls and make sure the OP is available if the site gets hugged to death. It's not some conspiracy. Also, I usually see it used for sites that are absolutely bloated with javascript, so I don't know what you're stalking about there.
When I'm working with home circuits I use indicator screwdriver all the time and I'm touching everyting metal with it at every step of the way.

I'm very rarely surprised with what happens but it still happens occasionally.

For example today I was surprised when RCD tripped when I shorted ground and neutral on a circuit that was disconnected by its own breaker.

I had to think for a brief moment to understand that yeah, it's perfectly reasonable that this happened and no, I'm not in any danger.
Because I want my family to be supported in the event that I die early. I don't really see much value in leaving them a prize for dying old.
It doesn't. But there's a more important point: you're paraphrasing somebody you clearly have a great deal of personal animosity toward, completely changing the meaning in the process, and with no indication that this is what's happening. You've continued doing that even when it's pointed out to you. There are two options I can see:

- You genuinely are not fluent enough in the language to either understand the original statement, or to write a fair paraphrase, and are not willing to believe this mistake.

- You know exactly what you're doing. That is, if you gave the actual quote, nobody would for a moment take it as a proof of your conspiracy claims.

Neither of the above is acting in good faith. I'd ask again whether you'll stop lying about what Xe said, but at this point the answer feels pretty obvious...
Because it is a shit headline written as by a mad 13 year old to attract an audience on some tabloid.
Job listings is a terrible metric because it has never been cheaper to have a listing. Listings are nearly double pre-pandemic norms while actual hires are only up slightly from pre-pandemic norms. This implies that each job listing is much less effective than it was. If companies would stop throwing away 90% of resumes because they didn't exactly match the keywords for the job, perhaps this would be better. The bottom line though, is we shouldn't factor listings into any metric in much the same way that me putting a $100 trillion price tag on an item doesn't increase inflation. Track actual transactions.

Since Congress only considered the law and didn't actually pass it, I would say that they did not think there was a law needed.
I was homeschooled in the late 80s / early 90s and I hated it. Though we were part of a homeschool group, we only got together with other families once or twice a week. It was really lonely and I never felt like a normal kid. Ultimately I convinced my parents to send me to public high school and had a great experience.

Watching my own kids thrive in school with lots of friends and social interaction has reaffirmed my thinking that building social skills is as much a part of schooling as the education itself.
Whew, this has to be the weirdest instance of comparative advantage I've seen in the wild.

Not the parent poster, but yes, I also have relatives in Russia (for a double helping of irony, some of them are ethnic Ukrainians who have fully drunk the Russian kool-aid), and yes, you are pretty much correct.

They are, of course, utterly delusional.
Companies have values regardless of "taking sides". You can see that in how they act. What products the produce. How willing they are to sell their souls (use unethical methods) to increase profits.
