First, please note that "failed predictions" in my list of arguments against Marxism. My list was, "Evidence against Marxism involves mass famines, low economic productivity, failed predictions, and so on." In other words people who have attempted to apply Marx's theories have created disasters, places which follow his theories do poorly, academics who apply his theories to predicting stuff, get it wrong, and so on. As far as I can tell, any evidence-based assessment of Marxism comes up with a big fat zero.

Second, I wouldn't call myself particularly well-educated on Marxism, but I know somewhat more than the average person. And you're right that a Maoist is different than someone who studies Critical Race Theory, even though both may self-identify as Marxists. (And conversely both may NOT self-identify as Marxists even though Marxist thought has a deep impact on both.) However the "big fat zero" for Marxism includes, as far as I know, all derivative theories as well. But there are enough of them that I know little enough about that I won't recommend being particularly confident of that stronger statement.
Oh wow, this feels like a somewhat buried lede for how you would actually use HTMX in the real world. I've played with it quite a bit and didn't realize this was a pattern that was actually viable.

I think it would really benefit the project to have more documentation/examples of architectural patterns for how an app might use HTMX.
Of course they're trying to model a hypothetical technology, "affordable nuclear". Large cost reductions are handwaved on the basis of "less regulation" and "experience curves". Never mind there's little or no basis for believing in any of that.
The entire western world population is both aging and fattening, but the US has consistently had poor outcomes relative to spending.

This explanation doesn't cut it: per-capita the US spends the most but it's demographic trends are not unique.
This sounds quite unreasonably defeatist. That argument (can not be solved without an experiment) can be made for pretty much anything, but it has a few counterexamples in physics, and many more in math and theoretical computer science.
Yeah. I feel like Zillow will pretend like all this data somehow belongs to them when it belongs to the public.
> Yes. Yes I would take the CEO's total compensation package.

As in you would accept, without knowing ahead of time, a cut to your salary when the company's performance drops?

I'm not talking about performance based bonuses or commission based pay. I'm talking about a salary that was pre-negotiated at the time of your employment, but upon the company performing badly, your salary is dropped.

This is what the OP is saying - that high CxO pay is the problem, and that they should have been paid less (after the company's performance dropped).
how much were they actually holding?
Wow! That's UTC as well, so where I am it'd be like having an exception for exactly 4pm, it wouldn't even occur to me that it was a zero!

Discourse is one of the best pieces of software I've ever used — I self-host, and it's never given me any problems. There's built-in backups to S3, I can upgrade the software 80% of the time from a web interface (even on my phone), and the community and moderation features are incredibly well thought out. So much so that if you take the time to slowly go through all the options in the admin panels, you'd realise that the team has thought through 90% of all community interaction models.

I'm looking forward to trying Discourse chat — if the level of engineering and thoughtfulness is the same as the rest of the feature-set, it'll be a great addition to my community.

But an immutable data structure will cause data dependencies – the only way it couldn't cause a data dependency would be if it was never read.
That is totally natural. People don't have a strong reaction, because they don't have the context of why it's impressive.

How do you know something is impressive or surprising? You compare it to the previous status of the industry, which is something you know, but the random people in the coffee house don't.

I doubt they really believe it's truly inexplicable. Most layman know that somebody knows what's going on in their device.

And nobody has an explanation for everything they use, but it doesn't mean they get attributed to magic. I have no idea how a bridge is designed and built, but I don't believe it's magic, it's just something beyond my knowledge.

Thanks for the feedback. My original plan was to load the data “live” as obtained using web sockets but that damn socket.io is proving to be unreliable. I’ll land up doing something like you recommended.

"In total, this server has 128 cores with 256 simultaneous threads. With all of the cores working together, this server is capable of 4 TFLOPs of peak double precision computing performance. This server would sit at the top of the top500 supercomputer list in early 2000. It would take until 2007 for this server to leave the top500 list. Each CPU core is substantially more powerful than a single core from 10 years ago, and boasts a much wider computation pipeline."

They are literally charging people what they are willing to pay. It’s not as if people didn’t need energy two years ago when prompt WTI went negative, it’s just the market was out of balance. We have the opposite issue now, and charging less doesn’t solve anything. Prices have to go up so that people use less of the thing we don’t have enough of.

If they could manipulate markets as you seem to imply, they would do it 100% of the time.
You get very little from your employees in the meantime, the ones you are still paying, as they have a much harder time concentrating, and also don't know that they have any reason to care about the company's future. The first week or two after a layoff is very glum and unproductive.

Great summary. The one thing I would add in favour of IRC was its main use case, which was pseudonym to pseudonym communication. It is similar to HN's light pseudonym identity that allows for just enough candidness (canditity? candidosity?) without having to support features for complete fugitives.

For Matrix channels to succeed, they need a culture around them, and the semi-criminal world of hacking back in the day is what led to its growth, imo. I remember one day someone very smart said, "stop using silc," where the implication was it was compromised in a very intentional way, and a lot of people dropped it and went back to irc.

It's hard to think of a subculture now that would facilitate that. IRC was the effect of the internet being novel. If you have a subculture, the effort to prevent it from being brigaded is going to come at a cost of organic growth. To get Matrix off the ground, you would need new tech with a lot of upside in front of it, like blockchains, maybe CRISPR, drone racing, analog/quantum computing, day trading, maybe a new musical form, something with a physical competence as a bar. I don't think the gap is in the tech, it's in the lack of diversity in what people physically do anymore.
It sounds convenient, but I can just anticipate a situation where I don't have access to iCloud and be unable to check my email on a different computer. Just two weeks ago, I attempted to create an iCloud account for a family member and it was disabled (they were using my mac) - maybe it looked suspicious - IDK. Point is, that apple was able to completely lock us out of iCloud with no recourse, not even a phone call, an email, or a warning. No thanks.
People seem outraged about the marketing cookies. Genuine question: Why?
The user tracking makes sense, but ads are weird in this product. There's no way it makes sense to add ads to paying customers. That's strange.
I had a blogpost about five years ago that got frontpaged on HN. It had about 300 upvotes. Google Analytics reported it got 10,000 uniques, impressions about twice that (some people browsed the about page and other posts of mine). Then there’s people blocking Google Analytics so the actual metric would be much higher. I was lucky I used a CDN both for HTML and images, otherwise it would be hugged to death.
In my industry the wave of stimulus definitely caused behavior changes, it was pretty distinct.

Obviously, a lot of people did need that money to make ends meet. But it's also obvious that some % of the population was able to treat it as money they were able to play around and have some fun with.

They changed the section about DNT, which makes it confusing. If GitHub can use DNT, then they should mention that (like it had before). If GitHub does not use DNT, then they should delete that section.

The same section mentions Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin, which they could mention anyways if they want to do, but they should mention that GitHub is not affiliated with them (even though some of these projects might be hosted on GitHub).

I learned PHP as a kid in the 90s. It always seemed too easy to use it, almost as if it was a toy language, and I thought there's no way that professional programmers actually work this way. But here I am, having spent ~50% of my career in PHP off and on.

Adding people fast is very bad for an organization's efficiency, for a variety of reasons, including the one you mention.

I use mine mostly for educational pursuits. For example, I have a clusterHAT with a bunch of Zeros on it, which I used to learn MPI.

I also use a pi as a home central server, and other pis for related things around that.

I actually love using the Pi4 with 8G RAM as a desktop with two monitors. I'm not a gamer, so I don't feel any lag.

Lately I've been re-learning a lot of my old electronics project material with the newer Pi Pico microcontroller. I'm actually putting a larger project together with it, that will hopefully go online and not just be for myself.

Sure I believe that, but I think because of the way these companies operate internally and because of the extraordinary amount of transparency and voice given to employees employees (particularly at Google and Facebook where I have worked), these companies would be amongst the most difficult for a hypothetical fascist US gov to use for nefarious purposes. I've worked at 3 other large US tech companies (Qualcomm, Intel, APC) besides these, and they are radically more ethically malleable and able to conceal bad things from their employees.
I don't understand why people care about cookies. The stupid cookie banners are an actual nuisance.

Updating an element in a mutable array is O(1). With an immutable array you have to make a clone with one element changed which is O(n).

Cloning a mutable array is also O(1) if you use copy-on-write.

> The US Gov requirements don't require that cloud services make as much data available to themselves as possible, only that they provide access to what they do have (otherwise end to end encrypted messengers would already be illegal and shut down).

The US gov can walk into any company and demand everything and anything they want while making it illegal for anyone at that company to say a damn thing to anyone about it. This includes taking over parts of that company's facilities and taking a copy of every last bit of data that goes in and out (see room 641A - they've been doing it for ages).

"secure" enclaves can't save us here because the companies who develop them are subject to the same government who can insist on adding backdoors in their products. Even without explicit support of the companies involved we've already seen side-channel attacks that allow access to the data in enclaves.

As for end to end encrypted messengers, it's reasonable to suspect that once they gain enough popularity they will be compromised in some form or another. Signal, for example, had gotten a lot of attention followed by another huge jump in popularity after WhatsApp changed their privacy policy.

Signal also suddenly started collecting and storing sensitive user data in the cloud, they ignored protests from their users about it, were extremely shady in their communications surrounding that move, and have never updated their privacy policy to reflect their new data collection practices. Does that mean that Signal has been compromised? In my opinion, probably (refusing to update their privacy policy is a huge dead canary), but even if it hasn't it absolutely means the government can march in and take whatever they want including data they'd have to use a backdoor or an exploit to access.

Lawmakers have been trying to ban or control end to end encryption for years.

It reminds me when I was a regular player at Ultimate Frisbee.

As my friends and I who played got older, we'd of course not be able to run up and down the length of the field all night long as much. There became a bit of a competition around nabbing the younger players when they would come to be on your team so you could get the good runners for the hail-mary plays.

So then some of the older guys who were smokers decided to start trying to get the young runners to come hang out in between matches, where they'd try to get them to smoke pot. It worked! The young runners were both inexperienced, and lightweights. This became an effective tactic to cut the advantage the other team would gain by nabbing the younger runners with more endurance.

Anyone else have this problem playing bee? It got really out of hand.

The other side of this is once you actually can’t scale a single DB the project has proved it’s value and you have a solid idea what you actually want.

Designing let alone building something scaleable on the other hand is a great way to waste extreme effort up front when it’s completely superfluous. That’s vastly more likely to actually kill a project than some growing pains especially when most projects never scale past a single reasonably optimized database.

Not the parent so I can’t tell you exactly what he did, but some suggestions:

- The PNG specification contains plenty of information including width and length that allow you to use 2d arrays rather than ArrayLists

- The RGBA 32bit integer doesn’t need to be unpacked.. you can just perform shifts and transformations of each of the 8bit channels.

- If you do unpack, you should use native 8bit unsigned ints

- You don’t need an unmodified copy.. that’s your file

- Undo stack should contain deltas, not the whole image over and over again.
