Show HN: Hacolyte – a Hacker News reader built with NextJS
Long time Hacker News lurker, first time Hacker News poster : )

I built a Hacker News reader app with NextJS and TailwindCSS that pulls item and user data from the hacker news api (https://github.com/HackerNews/API).

This is my first time really building and launching something for users so I'd love any and all feedback. The roughest spots at the moment are the threading of comments and the fetching of posts on a user's page (lots of individual calls (async) for individual items rather than getting them in bulk from an endpoint like /v0/beststories).

Let me know what parts of it are Not Good and where I can improve things!
I have disabled users in my project as well - it works great for an importer when something just doesn't quite import as a resource belonging to something (flukes happen).

However, why is it so hard to make sure that a disabled user is actually disabled... I mean, even just setting the password to NULL would result in no possible SHA-256 hash matching (and I use hashing more advanced than SHA-256 alone BTW, just saying for sake of argument here). Instead, some idiot set the password to disabled1system1user6708 hoping that nobody would ever figure it out. Which might have somehow still actually worked because reversing a hash is hard, had they not left it in plain text in the package.

If you're referring to the much-later books like Unseen Academicals, then sadly I think Terry's alzheimers affliction was probably to blame. As I understand it he reached a point where he was no longer able to type, but could still dictate. Certainly somewhere in that process they lost the tautness of the earlier works. Something to enjoy still (for me) but not quite the glittering jewels of his intellectual peak.
It seems like pain killers work differently on different people. I wonder if there is data on this? For me, ibuprofen always helps with any type of pain or itching/irritation.
Very well could have, and then someone said "Yeah but we neeeeeed it"
I have polio from the vaccination (mid 80s in China). Shitty vaccine then.

It's usually a whole house that can accommodate large groups. My family stayed in a house in the Ozarks a couple months ago. The place slept up to 30 and most nights there were only 2 empty beds. It worked great for our needs but had anything gone wrong, my sister in law, the only person who lived within 5 hours of the house, would have had a nightmare on her hands helping us find a place to stay.
Without going into much detail, the way some NFT stuff was handled internally is a big example, and then there was the company all-hands where Benioff berated some presenter on stage for having not-cool-enough shoes, and Bret had to spend a whole trying to spin it into a "haha, great joke buddy" sort of situation.

Stuff like Benioff's "just the tip" tweet has always been who he is when his handlers don't have a tight grip on him. Bret Taylor's position seems like he's been put there because 1.) He's got _some_ engineering experience more recently than 1999, and 2.) Bret is less, uh, belligerent than Benioff.
I'm not entirely sure I understand the question...

But yes - in my set of definitions, race is genetic/hardware, and culture is environmental/software.

Obviously the two correlate pretty heavily - i.e. racial groups tend to form subcultures.

It's been repeated ad nauseam in every discussion about OO: it draws attention away from an alternative that is man-decades ahead in terms of features, compatibility with non-free formats, etc., all the while containing numerous unpatched CVEs that have been known for years. I still see people using OpenOffice because that's what they know, and I have to waste time explaining that it should be dropped and forgotten about. This could easily have been avoided.

Fixing the Expertise Misallocation Problem
The New York Times did some decent reporting into the pseudo-brands which comes closer to answering the question in the title: having a registered trademark unlocks a lot of on-platform seller tools (predictive analytics, early review program, etc.), and the easiest path to a trademark is to have an utterly unique, nonsense name. Some Chinese municipalities were also offering cash incentives for citizens who obtained foreign intellectual property registrations, further exacerbating the problem.

I get what you're saying about recursive adversarial problems and their fractal nature, but this is exactly what GANs do to great success, despite the fact that it's hard. Yes, they have to train a lot slower, but learning general strategies and patterns in opponent behaviour still works.

Your password example on the other hand is a discrete, non-differentiable example. If it was differentiable - for example instead of a true/false you got an edit distance to the real password, then passwords would be trivial to crack.

Easy. They never, ever would have sold it to Musk if they knew it could be such a runaway success and make them container ships full of money. They had no idea how to do it. Musk did.

For 1-2 nights? Probably not. I don't think having access to a kitchen or sitting area is a "massive luxury" for someone staying a week or longer for a vacation, work, etc. though.

The point is you get these amenities (or at least of them) for around the same price as a hotel room.

In some big markets (New York City or similar), it might be above a hotel room rate, but still a really good deal if you consider the value.
> it won't prevent [child abuse] as by time digital media of the abuse is made, the child is already abused

It prevents another child being abused.

Pre-crime prevention would be better. But clearly our social structures are imperfect at doing that (although may be improved), and prediction (Minority Report, profiling) is dangerous.

Note, I’m not supporting government invasion of privacy, nor child abuse.
> They still (to this day) did not acknowledge that vaccines and mask mandates do not limit spread of COVID.

They don't "acknowledge" that because it is not a true statement. Masks do limit spread of COVID-19. So do vaccines. Neither one prevents it completely, but that's different from "do not limit spread", and at no point was there either scientific or public health consensus that either one would completely prevent spread.

> Yes - at very beging the assumtion was that vaccines will limit COVID spread but that is not true any more for BA variants

Vaccines still do limit COVID-19 spread, even for the latest variants. They do not prevent it entirely, and for the latest variants, they are more effective against preventing illness or serious illness than against infection (an important clinical distinction), but that's still a huge deal, and it limits spread by reducing duration of illness (infectiousness window) or virus particles produced (the degree of infectiousness).

> In short, mandates should be imposed only if science is 100% clear.

This is another way of saying that you categorically oppose all mandates. Science is never "100% clear", ever.
I own a computer; my company buys a computer for me to do work. If the economy consists of mothing but people, companies, and computers, it'll be twice as big as you'd think it'd be.

Then, you need people to manage the computers — but now you need twice the number of people to do that than you think you would.

You need to ship computers, recycle computers, ...

The economy isn't zero-sum: I think the nonpeople economy is only limited by our ability to run companies, and there's no limit ti the wealth of a company? Maybe? I dunno...
That's a matter of designing a good cost function.
Z/w is not exclusive to birds, and is present in a number of reptiles (as well as fishes and crustaceans).

So it could be a recurring sex determination scheme, or it could be a common amniote trait. Either would make a lot more sense than the idea that platypuses would be descendants of birds or whatever.

Don't even merge - just retire the trademark and shut it down entirely, because there is not a single new feature in OpenOffice that LibreOffice doesn't have already. Just set up a redirect and save us from your stubbornness which is going to get people hacked if it isn't already from all the unpatched vulnerabilities.

I count 19 Starlink launches this year.
The problem is that the trade mark OpenOffice became relatively popular for some time. So, a lot of people still download and use it without knowing about LibreOffice which is superior in AFAIK every possible way. AOO just steal users from LO without bringing any benefit. You don't se the same hate against OnlyOffice, for example.
I feel like many security professionals could have thought "this is necessary for some internal system operation so I won't touch it, and it's not like it has a hardcoded password or anything" and yet it has a hardcoded password.

I recently moved to the US from the UK. In the UK, we have Argos that sells a few versions of each product at different price points. If you pay more, you get better quality and you aren't sifting through hundreds of fake brands of similar products.

Target is definitely the closest we've found over here.
Same thing happened to me over an eBay item many years ago. I bought a used SLR. The seller said two batteries would be included but the package contained none. It was an expensive camera with special batteries. I contacted the seller but they refused to ship batteries and refused to issue a partial refund. I opened a dispute with Paypal to obtain a partial refund. They denied my claim citing lack of evidence.

How can I provide evidence for an item I never received? All I had was the listing and the contemts of the package, yet Paypal sided with the seller. I quit using Paypal then and there, and won't touch them with a ten foot pole. A very consumer-hostile company.
It's misallocated through an enormous network of private contractors, ineffectual nonprofits and government bureaucracies. The unaffordable expenditure (public housing or at least publicly funded housing) is completely out of that budget, while the rest of the programs are so watered down and so much have been leeched out of them that they're completely ineffectual. Rebuilding capacity for direct state action, without farming out to all of these parasitic middlemen is a key component, as is reducing or eliminating wasteful and top-heavy bureaucracies.
Having used Mercurial at the time, I can strongly vouch for GitHub being a massive draw toward using git. I 100% believe this narrative.
Just recently Amazon allowed me to buy a kindle book for my specific kindle device, which turned out to not be supported. But they still allowed me to purchase and deliver it to this kindle. Only once I went to the device to sync it did I learn that it was incompatible. I was not allowed a refund.

The reasonable behaviour would of course be to give a pop-up like "hey, you're trying to buy a book that doesn't work for your Kindle, are you sure this is what you want?" I bet they have some sort of disclaimer hidden away in some giant heap of legalese making it "legal" but the whole flow was clearly designed to trick people this way. And I'm a programmer, I don't get tricked as easily as the average person in this context(I hope).

Amazon is full of minor counts of fraud like this and at their scale I bet it adds up to real money.
It’s the cultural angle the troubles me more. The US has more cultures so they fight. That doesn’t seem a good argument.

I’m a bit baffled by the way you calculate gun murders. You get a number of gun deaths and guess the number that were murders.

I tried searching and could only find the combined value that you have used. Why is this?

The abundance of straight up looney anti-vaxx stuff that ends up in the HN comments proves this is not true.
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

"This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter with a half-million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. . . . This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron."

What they should do as a matter of abstract merit, or of public perception of benignity, are two wholly different, generally easier and less vexing questions.

I found a little more info about it but unfortunately no copy:

"‘SO, BANG GOES THE PERSONAL TOUCH’, Bath & West Evening Chronicle, 22 April 1978, p. 10.
This is TP’s ‘Star Wars‘ piece that he tended to mention when talking of his years at the Chronicle, but I could not track it down when I searched the issues in the British Newspaper Library in Colindale, North London (now closed and moved to the town of Boston Spa). Perhaps it was in an issue missing from their collection, or I was looking in the wrong issues. Star Wars was released in London in December 1977, but only reached Bath the following April. Discovered by David Moger, to whom my thanks. CS"
I have found it very easy to meet expats here. Having kids in international schools helps and so does having a dog. Amazing how many friends we have from working the dog at Guincho and Carcavelos beaches, also informal events like Cascais Curry Club.

Lots of IT meetups in Lisbon. Tax is quite favourable for Freelancers 25% deduction combined with NHR regime 20% tax, ie effectively 15%, but you do have to pay social costs. Public healthcare is good for emergencies which you top up with private healthcare which is excellent and remarkably cheap.

I can't say I had any expectation given the mess that is the iDevices naming schemes (especially the ipads), but the Apple Silicon naming really is mind-boggingly bad. It's like the names are picked by a 12 years old with sub-par naming abilities.

Since the financialization of the economy in the 70-80s, the economy has bifurcated between "productive" parts which ate well off debt and globalization, and the rest that has had to deal with the fallout of de-industrialization and shift towards a service economy with lower paying, lower skill jobs that are less secure overall.

Politicians have just kept digging us deeper into the hole because while it is not sustainable there is no turning back without major social upheaval and massive uncertainty.
Symlinks do that too even inevitably: no matter how you change the file, it changes at all links and you can't prevent it; systemd uses this feature when it creates dependency references (the linked dependency must never differ from the source, what hard links don't ensure).

> I wonder what the internet would really look like if there was no bot traffic, fake clicks, and fake accounts.

In an economy where the only thing that matters is actual money there wouldn't be any bots - after all I don't see bots queuing up to buy stuff. This is a problem the bullshit advertising and "growth & engagement" industry brought on themselves. If you pay people to click on stuff, they're gonna click it, tell others to click or build machines to click.

Years. For example, SES-22 just launched and it was ordered two years ago in August 2020.
Union find takes as input some undirected graph <N, E> and internally constructs (and progressively mutates) a directed graph <N, E'> which it uses to efficiently answer queries about whether two nodes n₁, n₂ ∈ N are in the same connected component of <N, E>. It additionally supports incrementally adding edges to E.

My quest was to find a way to incrementally delete edges from E, not E'. You're talking about deleting edges from E', which I agree is not generally a useful thing to do.

For example, your N might be the cells of a maze map, and your E might be the connections between adjacent cells that are not separated by a wall. In that case you can tear down a wall and add a corresponding edge to E. But it would be nice in some cases to rebuild a wall, which might separate two previously connected parts of the maze. I was looking for an efficient way to handle that, but I didn't find one.
Unfortunately, a 1200€ loss is nowhere near the threshold to get legal involved (usually around $50k is the cutoff). OVH may however, become more attentive to your complaint if the lawyer asks nicely with a letter on your behalf.

One thing I did notice with PayPal... is one often has little success if you are international account and deal with a rare crooked American seller. We literally had sand shipped to us before, and still ate the loss. lol...

In my country, Slamming or unsolicited services are illegal, and people are not obligated to pay the invoice. It is one reason a credit card payment through a merchant is superior to paypal in some situations, as they tend to play by rules set by the local account laws. ;)
