I think I still haven't found a message/phone/video app that works.

Skype is extremely buggy (crashes, freezes, regular ui bugs, loses conversations, etc). Teams is a resource hog, and is hard to search. Symphony is great for chat, but unpleasant for phone calls.

I'm a bit surprised, since I'd expect it to be a solved problem.

Any suggestions?
Let me blow up some of these arguments with a real world example: the Canadian trucker protests over vaccine mandates. Officials were all too happy to freeze suspected bank accounts and coerce services like GoFundMe into halting payouts to truckers. Just about the only way to get funds through to protesters was to use a blockchain based service like Bitcoin.

If Bitcoin didn't exist already we would have to invent something like it to deal with government overreach and centralized finance like what happened in Canada this year.
No, because you can rip CDs containing stuff under some creative commons license or some other license that permits copying.

Moreover, it's simply a bad choice for a laptop that doesn't have the cooling to support it. There's plenty of devices out there with a chassis thick enough to support a chip like that (Lenovo and HP have shipped Xeon laptops for years), but a Macbook isn't one of them. Even the lower-end Intel chips ended up getting undervolted to run comfortably in a Macbook chassis, I don't know what Apple was thinking when they put a workstation CPU in an Ultrabook form factor.
The Pinata paid account gateway has worked pretty well for me. The $1000/mo for 100k pins screwed me though. But I may keep an account for the gateway since I am under 100k now.

I tend to split route params and query params by their function:

Query params tell me something _about_ how I want the data filtered, displayed, or grouped.

Route params _identify_ the object or collection I'm retrieving.

That’s not a “representation of the resource”. That’s a fact about the state of the universe, to wit, that it contains no such resource. Which is what is communicated by a 404.
The title policy is fine, but I find it really weird that it's defended as "not editorializing" -- by your own admission, you edit titles to put your own spin on the article's contents, and focus on something different than what the original title wanted to focus on.

"Why I no longer recommend Julia" is a perfectly good title, it's prompting a question which the article will hopefully answer. Changing it to focus on correctness and composability bugs, rather than the bigger picture of why the author can't recommend the language, is putting your own spin, aka, editorializing. And that's fine! But you really should admit it, rather than crouching behind a weird defense.
40% are "sleepers". Meaning nearly half of their subscription revenue is from people who forgot they had it, don't use it, and will keep getting auto-renewed until something reminds them they're paying for this thing they don't want.

When your product is so worthless and uncompelling on nearly half customers don't use it and your business model relies on them forgetting they're paying for it, then your industry is DONE.

Mainstream/Legacy newstainment is absolute garbage. Not worth your time if it is free.
Shopify is using it with React. Lavarel now adopted it. It's the default for Vue projects going forward (given it's made by the person who made Vue).

Plenty of serious support behind it.

Not sure how you'd end up with "1000s of modules in your browser", unless you have some mega-project with an unwieldy package.json. I have a pretty complex Vue project app and it loads <100 .js files async and the vast majority are 100b and 95% will cache on the first load and never change. It's really not that big of a deal for modern browsers to load lots of tiny js files from your local machine in development.

I've found it to be way faster than Webpack for dev build times which is all that really matters to me.
I have similar problems with all the popular apps for video and voice chat: Zoom, Teams, Discord.

There is something very peculiar about it: I can have these apps running with literally no voice or video activity and all costly noise filters turned off, and while the CPU moves between 5-10% (which is still outrageous when nothing is happening), the fan will be running at max, and the battery drains fast.

There is nothing else hogging the CPU, GPU, network etc. in the system, as the process explorer clearly indicates, so there is no reason for the fan and battery to do this.

I keep concluding that there is some hidden process running in the system that causes this, and while I can never prove this, based on some thoughts and discussions by others, and the fact that it happens with video and voice chats, we suspect that advanced analysis on the audio input (voice analysis) is being done whenever the mic is turned on.
Hacker news could have been built in any number of languages. HackerNews is built using Lisp because Paul Graham likes Lisp. I also like Lisp, but nothing about HackerNews required it.

Keep your day job and start selling your solution before you build anything. Get 10-15 companies to sign the dotted line for your saas and ask them to start paying in Month 1. Then hustle on your off-hours to build the solution and get it out as soon as possible to validate if you're solving a hair on fire problem.

The great news w/ this approach: If your solution is a true painkiller, then you will have an easier time convincing each next prospect to sign up.

Ideally, you get to a point where you're making $10K MRR ASAP and growing WoW by atleast 20%.

Do NOT consult. It's a distraction and eats into the time you should be spending building your product or selling your solution.

My cofounder and I went through this process illustrated above before we quit our jobs. The one big mistake we made though was to quit our jobs after only signing one customer. If we could go back, we would have had atleast 5 signed contracts before quitting.

My wife uses Outlook (but not Teams) on her 2021 M1 MBP and there is some sort of leak. Her SSD fills up with swap files or something, and restarting gives her back 90GB of space. Literally. It is crazy.

I don't know if it's Outlook though. I have similar issues with my Intel MBP, and I don't use Outlook. I slowly drain from 20GB available down to 2, and then I have to restart. It's like living in the early 2000's, restarting all the time.
If you bought gold at spot before the COVID debacle you're still ahead. I'd call that protection from inflation.
It's good news if demand stays strong at a certain price point. If we are in a highly inflation environment and demand does not drop however that is not so good.
It certainly is subjective. This is where AppleScript really fell down--English is inverted, but typical programming starts with a noun then does a verb to it.

Given it's written <verb> <noun> (toggle a on x) rather than <noun> <verb> (x.toggle(a)), I don't see how you can know the space of verbs the noun will accept without perhaps starting with a guess and then seeing what the tool provides or something? I get it's more constrained than AppleTalk, but does that actually solve the issue in practice?
> I would think the Reddit hivemind would push back articles down and good articles up.

Let me start by saying I don't think your article was spam or an issue but I do want to refute this point.

I understand how that statement seems correct and that the "invisible hand of the hivemind' will solve all things. Unfortunately this is far from reality. Upvotes != Good content/On-topic content. A very extreme example would be something like porn. You might get quite a few upvotes for pornographic content that is semi-related (or not at all) to the subreddit in question, that doesn't mean it fits with what the subreddit moderators are trying to create/maintain.

People want to think that subreddits are democracies or the sum of the people who submit/vote on content, they are not, in a lot of ways they simply can't be. You have to have moderation if you want a good community (Nowhere is this seen better than here on HN, thanks dang), moderation takes time, energy, and skill. Because of this it's really up to the moderators what they want the subreddit to be.

Reddit is better thought of as a loose collective of fiefdoms where the moderator's word is law. You are at the whim of the moderators and different moderators/subs do a better or worse job at this. Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a better system available to us (again, simple up/down votes and reports on their own cannot substitute for a moderator).

First, break stuff. That's what the Cryptopals exercises are doing, but because in our actual world there's lot of good stuff out there now these exercises provide bad examples† you can break. If, in your hypothetical, there is no good crypto, this will be very easy to do just by taking anything you find in the real world, right?

Now, use what you learned (from breaking stuff) to make something which resists the attacks you learned. Congratulations, you have improved the state of the art. This is how actual experts (not sure any of them are or should be "exalted") did it.

† Bad, but, in many cases, very real. Because people stubbornly will not learn this lesson and keep rolling their own we are still finding broken garbage in the real world it's just becoming gradually rarer.
all the internal tools and acronyms that are not explained anywhere

YMMV, but comments are not usually the best place for this kind of background information as you have to FIND the source file they're in before you can read them. Many teams will keep an external "glossary" of common acronyms and tools in an external data store (wiki / Confluence / etc). If your company doesn't have one, consider _starting_ one as you already need to ask what all those things are anyways and can collect the answers.

Also consider if there's a better alternative to comments within your language's tooling - for instance, many languages now support generating human-readable documentation from metadata in source files (JavaDoc, ex_doc, YARD, etc)
Many of your examples are changing the query string, not the resource path. That's an important designation in REST semantics. REST APIs shouldn't use query strings for accessing singular records with IDs, that's what direct resource paths are for. Anything accessed with a query string should be treated as a search.

/api/v1/employees/100 - direct path to a resource. 404 if it doesn't exist.

/some_photo.jpg - direct path to a file/resource. 404 if it doesn't exist.

/photo/100 - direct path to resource: photo ID 100. 404 if it doesn't exist.

/photo?id=100 - search for a photo with ID "100". Return a code 200 with an empty results set if that ID is not found. (With optional application-specific error feedback in the response body.) 404 if /photo doesn't exist at all.
I've heard from multiple senior engineers that they felt like they were being scammed while interviewing with a legitimate company. I end up spending a lot of time digging through the company website to make sure that at least ONE of the people I spoke to in interviews is even mentioned by name somewhere. If I can't do that, I make up some excuse to talk to the CFO about stock option vs base salary balance or something.

This is all bullshit. Companies should accompany any request for personal information with a document signed by their private key, so I can verify it with the company's public key. Wasn't PKI invented in the 1980s?
Also, don't waste your time w/ lawyers. Just use Stripe Atlas for all that jazz (ideally after you've got folks interested in using your solution)

In the same vein, you could just have an indicator of the number of columns of each alignment, since the simplest solution is to group columns by alignment and add new ones to the end of each.

Perhaps try to fully evaluate the idea rather than just shooting it down at the first perceived hurdle. Repeatedly introducing strawmen like "entire table be rewritten" doesn't really help the discussion; the performance impediments and solutions are largely the same shape as what Postgres already does elsewhere.

It's all just feeling a bit like the Windows Terminal team telling Casey that the obvious optimisations won't work or require a PhD to fully evaluate or such. It's not that hard and any systems developer could do it. It probably wouldn't be worth the effort, compared to other things, though.
Never do this. Automated email scanners may fetch the URL. For example, Hotmail’s mail delivery process is notorious for triggering magic links.
We've had an ongoing problem with this as well, and it's shockingly effective. A couple of "candidates" have reached out to us right before they were scammed.

The con really preys on people's hopes - promise them a higher paying job, hopes of a better life, then casually extort them right at the end.
A US law is shaped by what we think is

1) acceptable behavior

2) enforceable, practically

I think video recording laws are largely influenced by 2).

I can angle my Ring camera to my smoking hot neighbor so I can record her doing yardwork. Creepy AF (breaks rule 1) but at what angle is it not obviously deliberate? Turned 10 degrees toward her lawn? 30?

Point being, I think US recording laws are too liberal but we need a defineable limit for privacy.

Maybe photon distance? Capturing photons traveling further than 30m into the aperture is invasive? (half kidding)

Reimer and Aboudi are both "non-employers", they make up the bulk of citations. Sanfield say basically nothing. And then there is anonymous person to represent independent contractors, because apparently it was really hard to get someone from that class to say what the author of the article wanted to write.
There are way way way more of them, so if you randomly select from the set of all possible configurations, you are much more likely to get something spread out and chaotic then something with a recognizable structure. As atoms and molecules bounce around, they are effectively randomizing. After a few dozen interactions each, they're basically in a new state. Repeat over and over and you're basically just drawing from that same set again. There's a chance that all of the air molecules could bounce to one side of the room at once, but the likely hood of that makes it something you won't see in the lifetime of the universe. So if you see a video where all the air rushes from half the room to fill the rest, you can be effectively certain you're watching the video forward and not in reverse.

Ask HN: How do you store photos and videos?
I'm curious how others store their photos. Right now:

- I use Arq to back up to an AWS Glacier instance
- I use CarbonCopyCloner to clone to two external drives
- I also back up to Shutterfly... though Shutterfly just shut down their desktop uploader so now I need a new solution

Problems:

0. I'm using a ton of local HD space to store them. I want to free up a bunch of space.

1. If I delete photos from my computer, Arq will eventually delete the backups that contained them. Could be months or years but if they're not local, they'll be gone when the cost to store them exceeds the monthly budget I've set with Arq.

I think this is what a good storage situation looks like:

1. Photos are retained forever in the cloud even if they're deleted from my devices. I have to go to cloud storage to explicitly delete something. Deleting something accidentally should never ever happen.

2. Photos and videos are automatically backed up to the cloud from my iphone and desktop

3. The UI for browsing cloud photos is fast and nice

4. I don't want to use a company with a poor history of user privacy e.g. Google/Amazon/FB. I'm happy to pay for the service.

5. Bonus if my wife can connect her phone to the same cloud account as mine

6. Very nice to have: photos are encrypted locally before getting sent to the cloud like with Arq.

What do you use? Have you solved any of the problems I've laid out above?

The definitions don't make reference to any particular food. And holding the food constant, presumably "length of fullness" and "caloric input" are strongly correlated, right? So if one of those statements is true, the other is very likely to be true. I would expect "orthogonal" to mean that there is no relationship between their truth values.

I'll wait until elon responds in court, we are just getting one side and its all twitter PR.

The bot size and revenue issues seem to be the core issues, but there might be even more issues. Lets not forget the subscriber fluctuating for conservatives went up and leftists went down, something funky going on soon as Elon made his offer, like twitter was playing with algorithms.

I've also heard rumors there might be national security letters disclosed, but who knows what the real issues is until Elon responds in court.
