Mastadon wasn't built for conservatives though. Truth and it's ilk are built specifically because of conservatives feeling censored. They have a reason to go there. Mastadon has nothing.
Yes, your recollection matches mine. Various bases were searched, after being given a hint.

The point was that this is what proof of a Creator would look like (and the aliens suggested there were others).

It was, IMHO, a giant gauntlet thrown down to religious folk. And elegantly done, too.

Ctrl-click on a mac at least gives the option.

But this is what I hate most about Slack specifically and Electron in general. It’s so obviously a web app shoved into what kinda looks like a native window. But all the behavior is webpagey, except not in my browser, which I already know how to use.

Here’s a fun one:

Click in the conversation history panel. Use your “select all” shortcut. Despair.
I’d go with Java if you are used to and want to keep building enterprise-like systems.

It's a long running meme on /r/webhosting. A person buys "email hosting " somehow, insists they don't need the spend of o365 or Google, loses time and money and ends up on one of those.

For background, the number's coming down these days but not long back I managed a lot of Exchange clusters. I'm not afraid to manage mail, I just know it isn't worth it.
Love my M1 Mac now that I'm a front end dev. The node ecosystem is mostly compatible with it now, except some really old modules.

Back when I was backend, though, Docker and LEMP virtualization was nightmarish to use (late 2020). Maybe things have gotten better.

In general, if you need legacy support, I'd stay far away from the M1. Otherwise go for it, best laptop I've ever had by far! (the only machine that comes close is the ThinkPad x1 Carbon)
Decision paralysis maybe?
Set up a [Lemmy](https://github.com/LemmyNet) instance.
I’m not leaving Golang. I want to expand my toolbox.
I don't see how it's irrelevant, it set the precedent for their use. They have been used, that's done and dusted, any use now will be the third use in war. If you think precedent is important, that's not irrelevant at all.
> US is absolutely the leader in innovation. No doubts about it.

Inherent to the US, or an accident of them just happening to be the largest economy?

When UK (and/or Germany or France) where large(r) economies, innovations was happening there (e.g., Industrial Revolution). Now that the US is the large(st) economy, it's happening there.

How much are innovation levels 'just' a correlation with a lot of money sloshing around?

> High social mobility for a lot of people (not all but a big chunk).

The high-ish wealth inequality ties into low social mobility in the US:

The idea around the foreign ownership laws is to prevent jobs and knowledge from leaving the country hopefully creating entities that can compete at the global level. It has worked with banking but failed with internet providers. It costs regular citizens but not strategically doing this is costly.

The industry is large/stable enough to allow 100% foreign ownership.
Notice the ridiculous amount of whitespace in the UI? They clearly could have shown the full address but they don't. That's why I think stuff like this is entirely deliberate. They don't want you to think. They want you to live in a world where they make all the decisions for you --- and decide in the way that benefits them the most, not you. They want to filter out scam emails for you, they want to control your life. The phrase "don't make me think" is common in UX, but in reality, what they're aiming for is "don't let me think". Hiding everything and making it harder to discover the details is precisely to discourage it.

...or at least that's my theory, but there's plenty of evidence.
> but there's not a lot of discussion for some reason

I mean... this is directly related to accounts being invite only.

It's a bit of a catch-22, the less friction to comment, the lower the quality but the higher the quantity.

Generally (let me preface: I do like HN as a whole) I dislike vote based or algorithmically driven discussion platforms. Vote based eventually ends up with the site having a certain inherent 'culture', and any comment not fitting in will at most get mildly upvoted and usually just ends up downvoted and collapsed / greyed out.
Algorithmically driven, the engagement factor eventually just crowds out any other metric for valuing comments.

I like the setup of image boards (discussion boards?) the most. By default, everyone comments anonymously. Votes don't exist. There is no way to gain reputation points. Your post or comment stands on its own merit. Boring or (most) bait interaction get ignored whilst high quality interaction gets bumped to the front page more often.
(Don't let 4Chan's two most infamous boards color your opinion for most other boards)

My personal perfect platform would be the imageboard way for content valuation and Reddit's old UI / UX.

I really love HN but I too feel like it's an addiction/slot machine.

My solution: a 3-hour focus mode browser extension.

1. Install the BlockSite chrome extension [1].
2. In BlockSite settings, add HN, Twitter, and any other distracting sites to the Focus Mode list and set Focus Mode time to 3 hours.
3. Ensure you uninstall all social media apps from your phone
4. When I find myself opening a new tab and typing "n" to get a dopamine hit, I then turn on my 3-hour focus mode.

Amazon undercuts pretty much every bookseller on price. A few local/specialty shops can survive but Barnes & Noble is pretty much the only national competitor left in the US and they are on the ropes. My local B&N is now a pile of rubble, soon to be a fast food place.
I've heard something similar but that they'll stop service if you're out of the US for over 6 months.

Both Java and Python can be similar, as in you can write OOP, because of that what about Erlang?

I heard it’s quite unlike both languages aforementioned.
I think part of it is Lobsters has an "average karma per comment / post" feature which means Lobsters users usually don't post a lot of "wow!" or "thank you!" comments and instead prefer to speak up when they feel something substantive is meriting attention. I've posted threads there that were #1 for a day and got like two comments. I've seen other smaller threads I've posted explode with comments when, for instance, there was a weakness in my project's design. It makes Lobsters a hard crowd to please, although the important thing to understand is they actually still love you. The website design just has different incentives for discussion.

Between Ruby and Python I’d choose Python. Rust is too low level and picky wrt memory book keeping. I miss the GC. Elixir would make me have to deep in the Erlang and BEAM world, I find it interesting but don’t want to go that way at the moment.
A job is a way to make money.

It is not the responsibility of a corporation to keep you fed or alive.

If you don't like how a job treats you find another one.

This pseudo familial relationship with jobs that Americans seem to have is one of the oddest mental illnesses I've seen.
Another app, camscanner plus purchased by tencent basically did the same thing.

I've actually shifted to just using Microsoft's Office Lens for scanning - I'd purchased the paid versions of multiple scanning apps and about 6-7 years ago I looked and every one of them seemed to be owned by a company in Russia. I wasn't real comfortable with that, so switched over to Microsoft. It may be a faceless megacorp, but I still think it's more trustworthy than anonymous Russian entities dealing with uploads and OCRs of stuff I think worth keeping.
IMHO, converting the carrier based armed drone program (UCLASS) into a carrier based refueling drone program (CBARS) is one of the most sane and prudent things military acquisition has done in recent times.

Why push a cutting edge technology for which there is no immediate need into operational status?

Why not instead harvest the low-hanging fruit, while simultaneously using it to refine carrier operations, and then restart UCAV development later when technologies have had more time to mature?
By the way, I am studying Golang after years of Frontend / Nodejs.

Found one of these on a tree in the woods. It was bigger than a softball. I marvelled at it for a while but ultimately didn't take it. Wish I had taken it home and cooked it.
They can still get cash. Lots and lots of cash.
You are absolutely correct!

Wildly, this strange new paradigm where everything old is new again might really benefit society. Progressives starting to understand the implications of mass surveillance and how it can impact them as well.

I have to say it's enjoyable. Is it too late? Probably, I guess we'll see, but it is refreshing to hear the other side of the spectrum suddenly concerned about massive government overreach and destruction of privacy.
Well, it means you can't have generic methods in an interface.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_and_technology_in_Chin...

Feel free to explore that and I'm certain you can dig up plenty more examples of fields in which Chinese scientists have worked on or released significant projects.

I'm not going to get into an argument about the value of the innovations China has produced, although 'making stuff invented in the West cheaper' is hardly a disqualifier for counting as innovation.
Many US companies only claim to fame is doing the same thing, innovating a process to provide something that was once expensive at a lower cost.

Further, (and once again, I am not in any way pro-China) it is incredibly misguided and the perfect example of my point about US parochialism to dismiss Chinese innovation because you don't think it 'counts' compared to Western innovation.

And lastly, we haven't even explored any of the less extreme examples. Many of the countries in the EU have less of what people in the US identify as makes them 'free' yet it would be simply nonsensical to say that they have not contributed to global modernization through science and innovation.
Back then it hadn't been decided yet if the distribution of the digits of pi are such that all finite numbers can be found in it or not. Some years ago I read about some proof that they can.

I would be curious to hear more. As far as I know that is still a conjecture.
Well this is unexpected - didn't think my little study group would appear on HN! :O Well anyhoo, all are welcome to join; details in the linked thread (including playlist of last week's videos so you can catch up).

As it happens, my interview on The Array Cast was just published today:

https://www.arraycast.com/episodes/episode31-jeremy-howard

In it I discuss my thoughts on array programming, including in PyTorch, numpy, Tensorflow, and other libraries and languages. If you haven't seen it before, The Array Cast is a really great podcast including interviews with some of the most interesting folks in the array programming world. My fave episode so far is the one with Aaron Hsu (@arcfide) of co-dfns fame:

My personal interest in APL is for teaching (my daughter and her friend who I tutor really like learning math via APL, and we've successfully covered territory that previously I'd had no luck making progress on using more traditional methods) and for studying notation (which is what APL was originally designed for).

This is somewhat of an aside about Target, but I've noticed that their inventory has moved significantly upmarket in the last 10 years or so. Their long-term strategy appears to be distinguishing themselves from the "bottom-of-the-barrel low-cost stuff" market and settling in a "low-cost but still decent stuff" niche.
> The language is huge, a lot larger than Java, takes a lot more time and effort to master it.

Could you elaborate on why you believe that ?

I'm not especially up to date on either Python or Java but I've certainly never had the impression that Python was particularly "huge" or difficult to master. It does come with a comprehensive standard library but I'm not sure why that would count against the language itself.
On paper, yes. But over the last few decades our regulatory bodies have been subverted by influence from our telcoms.

Recently our telecom regulator (the CRTC) was considering whether MVNOs should be allowed in Canada. Our Competition Beaureau, which is supposed to be enforcing antitrust laws, provided guidance to the CRTC[1]. Here's an excerpt:

"MVNOs can drive lower prices and greater choice, but they also could threaten the demonstrated progress in enhancing competition in this industry to date."

That's right. "Increased competition and lower prices is bad for competition." "Demonstrated progress" in a country with some of the highest telecom prices in the world.

Let's not even get into how the chairperson of the CRTC is literally a former telecom lobbyist.

Ultimately, MVNOs were "approved", but with practically insurmountable requirements for new entrants, effectively blocking them.

Even though the graphs do show some correlation between politics and media trust, I believe there may be other factors at play here. For instance, the need to make headlines ever more clickbait may also be eroding trust. Since the body of the article and the headline often don't agree.

Why do you care about forwarding negative comments for author?
the guide linked in the Readme is comprehensive and a good read - also gives instructions on who to scale and distribute load.

If the author can answer: how big did the fulltext table became for x entries on wiby.me - and what is a common response time on N amount of searches per minute for this dataset?

Would you offer a /traffic or /stats page within about/ ? duckduckgo shows traffic, not index stats though.

I don't see it in the windex schema yet, but would be interesting what the actual hitrate is on a search corpus, how many clickthroughs there are for any used search term. Answering these kind of questions adds computation and record keeping though.

Thanks for open sourcing, it's an interesting mix of languages and tools!
I believe this. I have been saying this myself. I didn’t say civil war but I fully expect strife and gun violence if the R party loses the upcoming election. What I don’t get is why the party is being so shortsighted. The polticians are anyway making bank why weaken the democratic foundations? They must know that the nation’s wealth generation will stop if we are not a true democracy.

Many of the things you describe, describe my mother to a tee.

She uses an iPad, but progressively Apple has complicated the interface to fit in more and more features, which has made it harder and harder for her to use the device simply.

---

One recent example is the Notes app, which today includes folders, tags, and many other fancy features. I only discovered recently that she had still been using the app as though she did the day she started using Notes, which must've been c. iOS 6. She didn't even notice the top-left "< Folders" button.

Apple's design language is "Clean" and "Modern", but often fails to convey to non-technical users that a even a button is...a button, since iOS/iPadOS use colored text with no background to convey that something is a button.

---

One other example was a mistake I made while configuring a web browser for her. I absent-mindedly turned on "Hide panels automatically", and it wasn't until I figured out what my mother meant when she complained "SOMETHING POPS OUT AND THEN JUST VANISHES" of what I had done wrong.
Highly visible starting from 14 to 21 days after exposure and unclear whether symptoms start before or after becoming infectious to others. So visibility may not actually matter much here, because pre symptomatic may be significant spreaders.
I entirely disagree with the perspective that patriotism is necessary for a country to thrive. There may be some argument that it is beneficial but I would like to see evidence of its necessity.
As a heads up to folks if decide you want/should/need to remove information from an image then just remove it. Don't scribble over it, highlight it, warp it, etc, just remove it. In this case the email is still visible on a good monitor without any modifications and clearly visible on any device without much effort.
Ah, apologies. This will be a goal post shift, from the question I asked. What I meant was specifically one that does better at the things California is good at.

Think of it as me asking if a tennis player is training well. You want to compare to other tennis players, not cyclists.

You may be able to get some cross learning, of course. But I'm specifically questioning if California's successes are in spite of government. Not if their failures are because of it. These are two questions and it is not clear to me that they would have the same answer.
This is nice, but I wonder if those responsible are going to be punished.

Isn’t the jobs number always seasonally adjusted? Plus, this is above consensus expectations; economists were not unaware that it was summer when making these estimates.

Per its definition: constructive user feedback should make the developer's work easier, not more difficult. Swearing is obviously bad (maybe not so obvious to some people). Screenshots, steps for reproduction, expected and actual behavior are the minimum, together with willingness to answer questions and try potential workarounds and solutions. Checklists are usually introduced after experiences with unhelpful tickets and PRs.

Granted, not all open source developer might be good at interacting with users. But expectations should be very low since volunteer developers only have limited resoures to spend per user. And companies behind open source projects obviously prioritize their paying customers.
Just the extremist ones and all the problematic ones are categorically right wing/GOP.
why not both?

the real reason he's filing the sec notice is the gas has run out of the bullshit bus. nobody believes his due diligence claims, the board just sent him a resounding vote of approval to buy, and the legal pain train of that comes with anymore of this childish foot dragging sideshow is pulling into the station.

I'd be stunned if he gets to walk off with the billion dollar penalty. too many financial guarantees and backings have been made, and musks had an SEC crosshair on him for years now. they know exactly what patent brand of bullshit he's peddling and have shown themselves more than willing in the past to take action.

musk can file all the notices he wants but i suspect hes about to get ready for the billionaires version of a shotgun wedding.
He has made billions using twitter spamming Tesla and doge. It’s a playground for for the guy. And therefore cheap at almost any price. But of course why pay more than needed.
On a more semi serious note: it must seem ludicrously easy for the guy.

VTOL rockets since no infrastructure
Methane due to atmospheric constraints
Tunnels for transport see also infrastructure
Starlink see also infrastructure
