Good idea, thanks.
If those are your picks for credible sources, you might be less informed than you believe yourself to be. I don't think they're the _most_ biased, but they're certainly not the _least_ biased.
It's interesting to me because the original subscription model of newspapers was built to counter the perceived low information quality that came from an era where papers were based entirely on sales and ad revenue (leading to the original 'clickbait' headlines).

It seems like the internet, powered by advertising, brought the 'attention' economy roaring back. In its wake news organizations and their hard-won subscriber bases were eroded.

Now we seemed poised to relearn the same lessons about what happens when your incentives are not for truth and accuracy but rather attention.
The ratio would be improved by more people sharing cars. It seems like that can be done regardless of whether that car is self driving. If Car2Go hadn’t been driven out of business by VC money subsidizing Uber rides, it would be improving that ratio for us today.
Presumably you did not watch the video, which spends a considerable amount of time shitting on Microsoft.
They just reinstated Alex Berenson, apparently in a complete win for him (details are not yet public)

Removing musk account, if they do thAt, might backfire spectacularly.
He's overleveraged and most of his companies are on the brink of falling below the point where he gets margin called. The poor sap wanted to rescue a few billions of dollars that could actually survive a recession, but he picked the wrong way to do it.

Perhaps you're thinking of Mark V Shaney's posts on the usenet group alt.singles

It was written by Rob Pike and Bruce Ellis.

I see, haha. Like problematic. Problematic for whom?
Their docs are actually pretty good! https://ocrmypdf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/batch.html

After that, it’s a simple matter of doing Cmd-F in macOS - Finder searches over PDF text :)
Tell HN: HN Moved from M5 to AWS
After many years of remaining static, HN's IP address changed.^1

Old: 209.216.230.240

New: 50.112.136.166

Perhaps this is temporary.

Little known fact: HN is also available through Cloudflare. Unlike CF, AWS does not support TLS1.3.^2 This is not working while HN uses the AWS IP.

1. Years ago someone on HN tried to argue with me that IP addresses will never stay the same for very long. I used HN as an example of an address that does not change very often. I have been waiting for years. I collect historical DNS data. When I remind HN readers that most site addresses are more static than dynamic, I am basing that statement on evidence i have collected.

2. Across the board, so to speak. Every CF-hosted site I have encountered supports TLS1.3. Not true for AWS. Many (most?^3) only offer TLS1.2.

3. Perhaps a survey is in order.

In some cases, Amazon does the counterfeit themselves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbxWGjQ2szQ
Well, Twitter (and stocks in general) sorta crashed right after the offer, too, so there's a real question whether that prior valuation makes any sense any longer.
Looking at the map, it seems to be running mostly in the highly populated valleys. I guess the spurs are probably just tunneling under mountains (if they are underground, I doubt they would go up, the bigger problem is blasting through rock under the mountains).
Almost 30 years ago, author Michael Crichton laid out his media criticism in Wired magazine.

It's sad that aside from the dated examples, it rings so true now: https://www.wired.com/1993/04/mediasaurus/
8 hours of downtime, but not data loss, since there was no data to lose during the downtime.

Last post before we went down (2022-07-08 12:46:04 UTC): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32026565

First post once we were back up (2022-07-08 20:30:55 UTC): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32026571 (hey, that's this thread! how'd you do that, tpmx?)

So, 7h 45m of downtime. What we don't know is how many posts (or votes, etc.) happened after our last backup, and were therefore lost. The latest vote we have was at 2022-07-08 12:46:05 UTC, which is about the same as the last post.

There can't be many lost posts or votes, though, because I checked HN Search (https://hn.algolia.com/) just before we brought HN back up, and their most recent comment and story were behind ours. That means our last backup on the ill-fated server was taken after the last API update (HN Search relies on our API), and the API gets updated every 30 seconds.

I'm not saying that's a rock-solid argument, but it suggests that 30 seconds is an upper bound on how much data we lost.
this won't stand : just everyone wearing an Axon3 bodycam would violate the law but not be detectable without undue search.
whether in usa or canada, local governments treat the incumbent local phone company and cable tv company as a default essential utility, so if it's not a legally enshrined right, it would certainly be shocking and weird if they didn't build to new places

of course in places where the local phone company or cable tv company shares aerial utility pole based infrastructure with the local power company, they're very close buddies as well
imo, Zoho has got a decent free plan: 5 users, 5GB, incl groups https://mail.zoho.in/signup?type=org&plan=free The only free-plan limitation is you can't IMAP / POP your way to another email client. You'd have to use Zoho's.

The customer support group emails are forwarded from Zoho to Freshdesk (also free for one support email).

Automated emails (like login alerts) are sent from Cloudflare MailChannels / AWS SES; and replies, if any, to those automated emails are routed back in to a Zoho group mail.
Probably for the best.

The only way I was going back to twitter was if Musk took over, took decisive action, and it stopped being a left wing echo-chamber.

But wasting more of my life on social media is not a net positive.

So overall I'm glad, I can continue to ignore twitter exists except when people occasionally link a tweet (which half the time I regret clicking anyway).
Would he need to show it isn’t true?

And prove that’s enough of a reason to end the deal?
WHERE DO I SUBSCRIBE WHERES YOUR SUBSTACK OR ANYTHING
I'm pretty sure he does and has commented here before.
A lot of Windows tweaks are turned into GUIs. You CAN edit the registry yourself, or tweak Group Policy, but honestly sometimes it's easier just to get the tools that do it for you with a checkbox.

Some useful tools:

-Chocolatey is like yum/homebrew for Windows: https://chocolatey.org/

-Start11 (and other Stardock tools): https://www.stardock.com/products/start11/ let you once again customize W11's butchered start menu & taskbar

-Software controls for your monitor's backlight: https://twinkletray.com/

-Easy Window Switcher so you can use alt-` to switch between windows of the same app, like macOS and I think some Linux desktops: https://neosmart.net/EasySwitch/

-Microsoft PowerToys for various tweaks: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/

-Nevermind the install footprint... not worth it when you start running into update issues. Yes, there are tools out there, but why bother when you can just buy a bigger SSD?

-Windows key --> Startup Apps to disable all the useless start apps (like Adobe or Cortana)

-Windows key --> diskmgmt.msc to manage volumes

-Turn on BitLocker if you want full disk encryption

-Taking screenshots is a PITA; use Windows-Shift-S for the newest version (snipping tool), but the old print-screen /alt-printscreen shortcuts work too. Also Windows-Alt-R to record a video of the current window. For some reason that is tied into the Xbox app.

-Use 1password (or your browser if you're lazy) to sync passwords between platforms. Also supports MFAs. Lastpass is another popular one but it has security issues.

-Check out the Windows Subsystem For Linux (google it) if you need to do occasional Linux work, or just want bash. Or Ubuntu Multipass for similar functionality. Or just dual-boot/replace Windows altogether.

-The built-in text editor sucks. Use VSCode, SublimeText, Notepad++, or UltraEdit.
Zoho is free for 15 people, pretty easy to set up, reliable and each mailbox gets 5gb. It does the trick early on.
His present situation with a multi-billion dollar agreement he entered based on hype and is now very desperate to exit seems to suggest his hype management skills have room for improvement.
And note Musk did a great deal of damage to the company. On hearing that he wanted to change the character of the company; that he was going to lay off a huge number of people; that he was going to make existing employees work much harder... many of the best and brightest left.
My one and only chance to make $$$ singing was, I was offered a spot in the chorus for The Flying Dutchman with San Jose Opera. They need a LOT of men for that.

I was already signed up to be Assistant Stage Manager for another show, but I suppose I could have backed out. So I listened to the opera again, just to confirm for myself that I don't like Wagner.

Indeed I don't. The fact that the chorus would be on stage at the beginning AND the end, so we couldn't leave, clinched it for me: thank you, but No.

It just seems to me like the music doesn't go anywhere. There's no accounting for taste, I guess.

games cannot be clean ELF64 binaries which libdl everything from the system: GNU symbol versioning frenzy of glibc devs, and the static libstdc++ has no libdl "mode" and I would not hold my breath at gcc devs fixing that.
jiggawatts, this is an honest attempt. I'd LOVE it if there's an easier way I somehow missed.

And talk is cheap. I dare you to write a blog post or make a public GitHub repo doing the equivalent work (see Goals section) with your own tools. If you can, I'll be super impressed (not that my admiration is worth anything ).

One thing you'll run into is that AD roles and other authn aren't accessible via ARM templates/Bicep
I'm curious if anyone knows the connection between Rogers and debit machines? It's been an entertaining day for me :)
I can’t pass your challenge but I’ve done it. Memory doesn’t work that way.

Open regedit
HKLM/CurrentVersion?/MicrosoftWindows/…/<something>/Run and delete whatever dumb Dell startup tray app has set itself up to start automatically. I don’t remember the name of the key but I can navigate to it quickly using arrow keys.

Of course this is many years ago before I knew about msconfig…

Definitely thought the same. Then I realized that I'm browsing trough work VPN and had a second thought: what if our admins decided to fight procrastination?
That sounds horrible. Right now, schools try to give each teacher an even number of high-performing, average, low-performing, and “difficult” kids. But the numbers are so small it’s hard.

An average sounds like a shitty, shitty system. Imagine finding out your kid is in a classroom with every low-performing and difficult kid in the grade just because it was random.

Nothing in particular. I checked HN in the morning. Hmm, it's down. I went ahead to have breakfast, played a round of games, called up some hotel to resolve some reservation issue, checked up on the various ways of embedding 3D model in html, watched some short Youtudes I meant to catch up, and went out of the house. In the evening when I checked again, it's up!
Hey there! I've done a lot more Django than I've done rails, but have had both in my job title at different points in my career. My favorite language is python but my favorite development platform is Rails. They're mostly comparable but Rails wins for me. Rather than type it all out in prose I'll just give a short little blurb about what you get and don't get with one and leave the rest as an exercise to the reader:

What you get with Django but not with Rails:

- An admin panel out of the box

- Python (which is a big win for me personally)

- Authentication out of the box, but still fairly basic

- A robust library of third party packages that benefits from python being used much broader than the web space.

- Class based views (this is the biggest thing I miss, by _far_)

- Better LSP support

- Django REST framework (rails isn't _quite_ as good but you can get kinda close by leveraging resourceful routing and the serializers that ship with rails)

What you get with Rails but not with Django:

- Websocket support out of the box (but not the greatest performance. A third party drop in replacement [Anycable] makes it much better)

- First party API for background jobs (but it requires a third party background job system to wrap, like sidekiq)

- First party integration of a JS solution (import maps)

- Second party integration of a JS bundler (js-bundling, written by rails authors but not included by default)

- Hotwire (although Django trivially integrates w/ a comparable technology, htmx, Hotwire is still pretty dope)

- Rspec and the rest of the Rails testing ecosystem (guard, VCR, factory_bot, capybara). Python has ports of some but not all.

In my mind, Django adopted just two things, I'd be very happy. I'd love to see a better async story in Django that would enable web sockets and stuff. And the second thing I'd love to see is a better story out of the box for playing nice with frontend build chains. And, as a distant third, I'd like to see an html-over-the-wire technology like HTMX favored and some light integration in Django to recognize some headers so it can switch between sending just template segments or if it should send one w/ the layout included. The testing ecosystem I don't think is possible for Django to lift on it's own and I'm prepared to miss it while I'm away. That other stuff, though, is unfairly aging Django imo.
Elon Musk explicitly waived his right to due diligence. You're right about these things being expected, but Elon can't be hampered by such standard conventions.

nice, will give it a try!
I don’t really understand what you mean about keeping “gender politics” out a national law on abortion. By “leave out late term” you mean disallow it, leave it up to states (many of whom will outlaw it and have even when their are severe risks to the mother), or something else?
I'm confused. Are you supposed to look at the article and have a discussion on bad it is and how the Takeaway doesn't match the rest of the article.

or more likely...

who on HN staff is now being paid to shill snake oil? Maybe we could all pitch in so can stop posting crap?
FYI, using just the Windows key by itself (instead of win-r) lets you search through executables and such via the built-in indexed search. It is more forgiving than win-r (which is just a command window, and requires you to know the exact name of the executable). It's basically like the macOS Searchlight or Spotlight or whatever it's called.

But yeah, windows key, (let go), start typing anything = you never have to move the mouse. Windows is MUCH more keyboard-friendly than macOS, about on par with Linux.
Yes but Canada has none of the highs of America. If you want to change the world, America is one of the only places.
Reuters is credible IMO.
i got addiction problems and this is the only website that's healthy for me. there's no endless scroll if you just visit the "news" and don't go to the "newest" page. i like how it's intentional to go to the next page. i usually only click through like ~5 pages at most, and once i've visited ~10-20 times in a day, most all the content is stale. it's also been helpful for me to set the procrastination limits. so many times i'll visit and can't scroll and just move on.

with that said, the comments are the most addictive part of this site.
I'll allow it
Lol, no need for apology here! You have given me no reason to doubt that you are exchanging viewpoints in good faith.
Have you ever seen any similar company give meaningful updates in a situation like this?

It is odd they don't have PR people trying to spin it. But I am not surprised in the slightest that there is no technically useful updates happening.
How might it “backfire spectacularly”? What could Musk possibly do to harm Twitter any further?
Twitter is demanding "specific performance" (i.e. complete the transaction) which is unrealistic given those financing provisions. No court can force all the other parties to close. No financing, no transaction.
>> Tesla is a car company.

> Tesla is a very complex financial operation which, sometimes, sells some cars.

That's not that unique, my understanding is most of the major car companies are primarily in the business of auto financing, but they make cars to give people something to finance.
Easy to make sure you're not seeing some cached version by doing a search for random string from mashing your keyboard. These days literally any string of characters shorter than 10 will find some sort of result and there's very little chance you have it cached somehow.
Of course, cops are no match for the MIGHTY VOTER. When I see cops abusing someone on the street, I will no longer stop and record, I will merely smirk at them, for it is I, the MIGHTY VOTER, that actually controls the cops. And when I go cast my ballot in a few years, I will laugh in their face, for my vote has the power to fire them at once. And when the next election comes, and this law has not yet been repealed, I will know that the system is functioning perfectly fine, and it is actually our fault for not using our voting power to repeal this law.
It varies country-to-country. The best place to check is the main healthcare web site for your country or state.
Useful, but not quite the same.

Can connect to SSH though, with environments on the other end, which I have not tried yet but seem useful.
> The new Arizona law requires any bystanders recording police activity in the state to stand at a minimum of 8 feet away from the action. If bystanders move closer after police have warned them to back off, they risk being charged with a misdemeanor and incurring fines of up to $500, jail time of up to 30 days, or probation of up to a year

What exactly is wrong with this? Previously, couldn't cops just claim you were interfering regardless of distance or number of warnings?
Marsh was not the public square. It was the sidewalks of random streets. The company that owned them explicitly did not intend for them to be a public square.

In contrast, the historical statements of Twitter make it very clear that they intended to be the public square, e.g. "free speech wing of the free speech party." Additionally, the assertions and decisions of the state in regards to social media indicate massive influence over politics that far exceeds any city street. They say people are denied their rights of free expression because Trump blocked them on Twitter, and that Russia successfully manipulated our elections because a few Russians bought a tiny amount of Facebook ads.
The author fails to consider the direction or rate of change the USA standing versus other nations. For most factors considered by the author the outlook is not good for the USA. Churchill did say the USA can be counted on to do the right thing after trying every other option; but nothing changes for the better if one's head is stuck in the sand.
not my experience. after three months in a rails skip shop my productivity sucks. It also lacks language appeal (eg i joined current company in spite of rails). Its a great framework to be sure, but if you dont have a pool of rails devs to hire, IMHO id choose something more popular.
There's already no shortage of ways to criminalize someone doing nothing illegal.

If I understand the timeline properly, Boeing had a strategy, at least nominally: NMA, an all-new replacement for the 757. Boeing had to be brow-beat by their biggest customers to support the initiative, but at least from the outside they seemed to acquiesce.

Airbus responded with the A321XLR, betting it could reach market faster. Boeing countered by dropping NMA and trying to copy the Airbus approach of racing to market with a stretch variant of their workhorse (737 MAX vs A321neo). But Airbus was actually able to execute. A321XLR is on the verge of shipping while Boeing has been caught flat footed, again.

Also, A321XLR has significantly better specs than the 737 MAX 10 as the former was designed when Airbus thought it was going to compete with the NMA. 737 MAX 10 tries to be a cheaper alternative to A321XLR, but in trying to be a cheaper alternative to a cheaper alternative, Boeing lost the plot.
I don't like the walled garden that Spotify has for podcasts. I used to listen to and watch a couple of podcasts that moved to Spotify (Rogan and Science VS). I no longer listen/watch them unless they release something openly which they sometimes do. I also agree that I want my podcasts, music, and audio books in separate applications. I think it is because each media type requires a slightly different optimized interface.
I slept through the downtime on the other side of the planet.
I also prefer statically typed languages for projects that are going to exceed a few thousand lines, but the OP was complaining that Python is "huge" compared to Java, which is a claim I find curious and one I have never heard before.

You can't really compare what the government spends to accomplish something with what a private company would need to spend.
Is this why there was downtime?
I was wondering how they got the server up so quickly when their actual hardware failed. Dropping a bunch of cash on a big virtual server while they rebuild makes sense.

It’s also a reminder that beefy virtual servers are pretty darn beefy nowadays. I wonder which tier they went with.

If you look at the linked page, pretty obvious that the source of the divide is politically driven and largely tied to republican distrust of the media — which goes back Regan destroying objective reporting with deregulation in 1987 and Clinton enabling media monopolies in the 90s:

> In summary: by moving from maps to arrays. That may seem like an awfully pedestrian observation, but it certainly wasn’t obvious to us at the outset that this was the crux of the problem!

How is this not your first thought !?!? Why would you even build it on maps? (at least trees I hope, please dont say hashes, I'll die a little inside if you do.)
