If you know what you want to watch why rely on Google recommending it to you? I only visit my subscriptions page:

https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions

I don't have notifications on and when I visit YouTube I'll check to see what videos I want to watch since I last visited. I usually check the up next to see if anything similar/interesting is recommended and very rarely go to the home page to get recommendations.
> It feels like they are making a real attempt to take my agency away and to create a product that triggers me so viscerally that I can't keep away from it.

That's most social media and even products in general. Profit comes from consumption, and the best way to keep you consuming is to keep you engaged. Products thrive off of outrage which is why platforms like social media and the news optimize for outraging consumers rather than efficiently delivering information, which is why I actively avoid typical social media or the news. Just don't use it
Well, ideally, the best platform for video is one that is not for video, but instead simply attaches appropriate information to existing videos, or aggregating links to existing videos present on the internet and attaches that information as a third party service, which then allows them to be searched via a standard search engine and viewed/downloaded directly. Like it was before youtube in the good old altavista days, and like is still the case for images.

But if you must have a platform, there are several alternatives to youtube:
peertube, odysee, lbry, ipfs, (legal) torrents, internet archive, oldskool p2p tech, ...

There's also alternative interfaces to youtube (e.g. youtube-dl, newpipe libretube), though that's a suboptimal solution to the larger problem.
Bought my latest vehicle just before COVID lockdown (i.e., before I had a clue that my commuting days were over) and, thus, also well before Supply Chain Meltdown. Have rued that purchase ever since on the theory of "Geez, it turned out that I really didn't need this vehicle so badly"; but, after seeing these developments and remembering that I was able to get the price down a few thousand from MSRP, I'm thinking I may have come out ahead, after all.
I see it the other way around -- because of the BEAM ecosystem and programming model you are in a much more advantageous position than with Clojure.
No wonder I didn't understand, no time frame was mentioned. I think I understood your message and I think it is a good feature on a shorter time scale.
Weightlifting. And avoid prolonged inactivity in the office: Get up every 10-20 minutes or so just to stand up and move around a little and take pressure off the eyes and hands.
Language is very powerful and if you can control the language you can control thought. Coherent deep thought may not even be possible without language, or at least not to most people. Governments always wanted to control language.

Here are a few changes I've noticed:

"pro life" vs "anti abortion rights" (adopted by NPR recently)

"woman" to include biological men

"quantitative easing" (us) vs "currency manipulation" (them)

"Illegal alien" vs "undocumented worker"
It's exactly that verification of results and development from snippets and starts into a complete whole that will be the purview of human work. The AI will be replacing (or, rather, preventing the creation of positions for) juniors.
I haven't watched any in years but they're not bad shows in general. NCIS/CSI/Law and Order/etc. really did industrialize the procedural though.
The current go-to arguments for not being in a recession are low unemployment and high inflation, however those have historically been lagging indicators that start moving somewhere in the middle of a recession.

So I'd say if we're not in a recession right now, we're on the edge of one. There have been so many economic shocks all at once I don't see how we pull out into positive growth without some serious retooling, and it'll take a recession to provide the necessary motivation/political cover to kickstart said retooling.
I don't fully understand the sync_to_async() operation here. So the underlying database is not async, then is Django just tossing the sync DB call onto a thread or something?
Fun, where have i heard that before?

Oh... in Russia up to until today... in any country behind the iron curtain until the 90s... and in some even now...

Are you being paid per post or salaried?
I had that same thought. I was really into racquetball in the late '80s into the early '90s. Pickleball doesn't require an expensive indoor court. (No one I knew played racquetball on those partially enclosed outdoor handball courts).
I've heard this, but honestly to me it just seems "specialized for writing and running reliable software".
No, it's obvious we're not in a recession. The fact that an election is coming up totally disproves the idea to any sane person whose beliefs are grounded in reality.
It definitely put many things in perspective for me. As a young single guy you look at suburbia, minivans, one click ordering, children's museums, etc. with a bit of skepticism or incredulity. Then once I got married and had kids I could instantly understand those things, even if I didn’t necessarily like them.
I think you're confusing Astronomy (studying celestial objects) with Astrology (divinatory practices related to celestial objects).

Granted, the reason why people did Astronomy was because they believed in Astrology, but it's no longer been the case since a while.
No good solution. Perhaps a cheap Android for $30 just for those apps... Maybe running Android in a VM inside a computer would work for that?
I've not been diagnosed with ADHD, though have some symptoms (though honestly, some of those are just standard "human living in 2022"), but I do know I have what I would consider an "addictive personality".

I can't answer how gambling addicts or smokers feel, but I will share a similar experience - I had to uninstall Candy Crush Saga from my phone, because I would literally open it, and then "come to" ~40 minutes later at the end of my drive (carpool, not me driving). This went on for about two weeks before I decided to uninstall the game.

I've never been on TikTok, but I do know that mobile games like Candy Crush are designed specifically to be addictive/habit forming - look up "gamification" for some related aspects, though that's really more about applying those sorts of mechanisms (mostly daily login bonuses / streak rewards, but also carefully spaced repetitions / cooldowns to get you to come back multiple times a day, highly stimulating audio and visual feedback for that "dopamine rush") to form habits around other domains (exercise being a theoretically "positive" application).

All that is to say, good on you for recognizing your negative interaction with that app, and for uninstalling it. I don't know where the balance lies when weighing personal freedom (of both you to install whatever you want, and developers to release whatever they want) vs. legislation and regulation, but I do think awareness of the techniques that are being used (similar to how I learn as much as possible about scams / social engineering) is extremely important on a personal level.

One final note - 2048, a few years after Candy Crush, hit me in a pretty similar way. The interesting thing there is, with no ads, microtransactions or fancy animations, it really was the core gameplay loop that I got hooked on. After finally hitting the titular number, however, I uninstalled it and haven't gone back.
Something I learned from my father when I was really young. When you don't know something, say "I don't know" first, then "We can probably figure it out".

Always, always, lead with "I don't know"

I am 65, and there are still things I don't know.
This is actually my approach: move things to "self hosted in the cloud", then move to on-prem (hopefully timed to when I finally get a house after the housing slump gets worse in a year or so fingers crossed).

Although the costs aren't monumental, it does add up more than using basic hardware at home (I live in an area with fairly cheap electricity). I also work for one of the major cloud providers, so it kinda pains me to know how fat the margins are and how much I'm getting "ripped off".
> I'm eager awaiting the next Tweet that include #trust_the_economists

That's funny.
Good summary. There's no end to the kind of delusion some AI proponents will cling too. In a few days they'll say this is another proof we live in a simulation!
For starters, at 35 I am a bit younger than you. That's certainly a factor, but I still should have been exposed.

For radio play, I was living in rural Alabama at the time. Wouldn't shock me if the local station never played it because someone's church had some kind of issue with it. (Famously my mother once called in to request a Billy Idol song and was refused because the DJ claimed that Idol was a satanist.)

For the music video, my dad was the unrelenting Master of the Remote Control, and he didn't care for music videos (although he loved rock music. I have his record collection. Go figure.) My brother and I did get to watch stuff, but my brother is younger still. At the time, we would have been watching programs suitable for both of us, which was mostly cartoons, as he was the right age range and I wasn't quite too old.

I definitely had friends and classmates who were watching music videos and talking about them at school. I remember that much, but don't remember any details. I probably tuned them out since I wasn't paying attention to music videos anyway.

I find value, but at what cost? When you are info hungry you don't like your precious time being wasted bc of inefficient systems hindering your work. Do I have to write API helper scripts and scrapers in 2022 for a top10 visited internet site?

BUT, BUT, BUT THE PINNACLE OF INNOVATION IS YOUTUBE/GOOGLE, RIGHT?

And they host these nice and trendy videos about how advanced they are, and how you should do your coding, how you should organize your work, your life, your team, whatever. And the terrible libraries... gimme a fn break. Too bad for the end consumer, it's all about pain.

I mean even porn sites have finer grained control on content filtering than YT :DDD. I'm wondering why they are not opening their code base and let the coding done by individuals, OF COURSE, FOR FREE! ha ha ha
The best part of YouTube recommendations - side bar recommendations - have been broken for at least 7-9 years. I remember going on deep YouTube rabbit holes in another era, because their recommendations always pointed to new, highly related content. Then, at some point in time, YouTube switched their recommendations algorithm to direct me to a mixture of 1) videos (mostly on unrelated topics) that I've already viewed, 2) videos about topics that I've recently searched for or watched that are unrelated to the current video, 3) videos trending across all of YouTube, and etc.

There are other things that drive me nuts about YouTube's recommendations, like the fact that they will never recommend me the next part of a n-part video. If I'm watching part 2/3 of something, please show 3/3 in the side bar, YouTube!

YouTube's iterative degeneration into its current state points to the folly of A/B-maximalism. In the pursuit of getting more base hits, it seems like YouTube forgot that the goal of baseball is to win games and keep fans entertained.

YouTube has been bad for a while. I suppose that some part of that is good – YT effectively killed the addictive loops that made their website irresistible. However, there is a lot that sucks about it. The utility of YouTube has gone down. Furthermore, I think YT blew open a hole in the video space for services like TikTok to emerge. TikTok may be crack, but YouTube used to be cocaine.
A/B testing has destroyed headlines and I hate it.
The issue I have with php, having started building websites in the early 2000s with it, is that it is a language that doesn’t push you to write better code and progress. I am much more of a fan of static langages where the IDE guides you a lot more, gives you live feedback so that being curious is cheap, you don’t have to dive into some documentation to know what the other methods, parameters and overloads are, you can refactor code safely and effortlessly.

So I am sure some professionals write brillant code in php, particularly in large organisations, but my guess is that the median code base quality out there is probably pretty lousy. Anything below the 80th percentile probably too.

Also it’s for websites only.
SMS can be replied publicly? :) I was expecting a comparison with Twitter :)
I really like the vercel and co approach to the dev cycle. It's as easy as (if not easier) PHP and you get a huge boost of monitoring / infra tools for a minor cost. I think we are seeing a lot of the "yeet and get shit done" approach with vercel and netlify that we used to with PHP.
Do you really though, or are you being a bit hyperbolic? It's really not that complicated or arbitrary. If you find yourself hitting idiosyncrasies so often you've got the docs open you might just be doing it wrong. There's also some learning to do for any language, no language is so intuitive that you know it without any effort or learning.

All the above said, do enough real work in any language and you'll find cases where the idioms of the language don't map to your work.
>How can I participate in the process...

My approach is to simply avoid the redefined/trigger words. I noticed that one of my favorite YouTubers always talked about "the current public health emergency" to route around triggers (and censorship)

The analogy I've used in the past is that there's a company, EvilMarketing.com, which makes up these terms as weapons in a culture war. A war designed to distract the majority of citizens while actions contrary to their interests are taken elsewhere.

A bit of an anti-globalist perspective IMO. With an EU or US [1] passport you can freely visit 100s of countries with no visa - or "visa on arrival" which is usually still relatively cheap for most countries.

> Nuclear is not cheap.

It’s getting cheaper. The primary reason it’s not cheap currently is every reactor built is site specific. This will soon change with smaller reactors being built in factories then installed.

> Something you can't say about nuclear. A technology from the past.

This seems like an attack again on nuclear. Stars use nuclear reactions for energy, you’re alive because of a nuclear reaction. Why are you so quick to throw it out?

And you still haven’t answered my question. What do these people do for power? I can’t put a wind turbine on the roof of my apartment anymore than a solar panel. And as your parent stated, there’s transmission and physical surface area concerns.

Once we solve the energy problem, population growth is our next one. We can’t make anymore land, and people advocating for taking large swaths of land, or even ocean, are setting us up for future land use issues. Think beyond the immediate next step.
There are a lot of people who choose the perfect over the good, even when the perfect is impossible. They revel in it. Incremental movement forward is their enemy just as much as going backwards.

It's easy to manipulate people who demand perfection because the alternative to perfection is low-energy lazy cynicism. I don't know how prevalent this manipulation is, though.

(And yes, I see the irony in my comment.)
It is impressive how many people don’t understand the actual stakes of that law in this thread.

Let’s look at a similar situation by changing the country names. Right now, most advanced microchips used in the US are made in Taiwan.

Imagine for two seconds what would happen if Taiwan passed a bill that all produced microchip must contain a non-removable tracker that sends all data processed by that chip to the Taiwanese intelligence agency (pretend it’s technically possible)

Do you think the US would continue importing chips from Taiwan? Sure banning them might hurt the tech industry and all, but if they don’t, in a strategic standpoint, it’s hybris at best, stupidity at worst.

Well that’s pretty much what the US is doing with cloud act. Of course their products are going to get forbidden. You just don’t engage in overt mass spying on your allies, that’s in bad taste.
This is exactly what the article suggests.

It also depends on the university. There are usually positions as a teacher's aide in both STEM and humanities that provide a stipend for grad students. You are paid to grade undergraduates and sometimes teach, tutor, help in labs, etc. Depends on the university but one of the few ways to support grad students in the humanities.
Guessing this is sarcasm, yet it's not clear to me what the joke is. That the ruling party will always deny there's a recession near an election?
With both Drupal and Laravel it's very easy to overload the database. It's shocking when you start using some tool that gives you insights in to this and it tells you you're running 6000+ queries every time your homepage loads.

In Laravel it's not too hard to avoid this problem but a lot of noobs don't get the lazy / eager loading thing and then you end up like this.

Drupal seems to add hundreds of queries for every module you add.

Fights, floods, and fortunes when cloud giants roll into town
Yeah that’s interesting. Flow uses OCaml, ditto for their Python type checker. Hack is C++, and Relay uses Rust. (Although I think some of the other type checkers are migrating from OCaml to Rust).

Curious about the perf implications with using a JVM language for a compiler vs native.
Those are really goood points, I have to admit. I do still believe Sergia transitioned only for retiring early, but I can never be sure.

> BTW why is the retirement age different for men & women in Argentina?

When state/tax backed retirement plans became universal during the 40s, the argument was that, as women raise children and are housewives, they are doing extra-work and should retire earlier.
I think clearly and effectively presenting yourself and your idea is something you can get better at. Perhaps right now, being a founder is not the right thing for you, just like perhaps later, it will be. I think it can be helpful to be careful with how you internalize things. Thinking "I'm just not made for being a founder" could become self-fulfilling, whereas rephrasing it as "I don't have an interest in being a founder" or "Being a founder isn't right for me right now" might be more accurate.
I always thought it sounded like Brooklyn but, in any case, there are at least similarities.
Who’s talking about Bitcoin ? ;-)
The one that you're consistent is best, science says...
Your goal should be iteration. Pick the simplest way to make this idea work with as few things as possible (preferably one) and make that. Then add another technology to upgrade it, etc. It should be usable after each step and improve each time. If you try to build a new project using that many new languages, tools, and methodologies, you won't finish.
Or, you know, unionize like regular workers. (Former UAW-represented PhD student, here.)

I then spent some time in the Swiss system as a postdoc... night and day! I went from the "American Riviera" (UCSB) to the "Swiss Riviera" (EPFL), and so living costs were about the same. But PhD students were paid more than twice what I was paid in the US.

Also much less teaching at EPFL, but that was probably due to differences in the "type" of institution.

(And what is a riviera?!)
Tell HN: Stackoverflow Is Down
Do you deny she has the right to do it? Or do I misunderstand your position?

We both probably agree it’s politically risky, perhaps even stupid. I understood your original comment to be a denial of her right to freely travel there. From my perspective she has the right to do it. Do you disagree?

Additionally I don’t believe you have shown that she is undermining U.S. policy, merely that she disagrees with the executive. Why is that a problem? We have a separation of powers and she is part of the legislative body, not the executive. By design these branches can and should disagree when there is disagreement. This is a basic check and balance issue. By the way, Congress has the exclusive power to declare war and controls the power of the purse as well. So if anything is a bit silly, it’s a bit silly to pretend that she isn’t allowed to see the situation on the ground before discussing and perhaps even voting on going or not going to war. She is doing this legally and entirely within her authorities. She is not in the hierarchy of the State Department, and I think it is clear that she has voting constituents in Taiwan that are overseas voters. I know several California voters who live there and she is their duly elected representative. Your position appears to be simply suggesting that the separation of powers doesn’t exist and that she is out of line. I encourage you to cite the line you believe she has crossed.

Party affiliation doesn’t mean iron clad agreement. Dissent against the U.S. President’s policy is a right of all Americans. If it’s a problem in her role, censure her and sanction her in the U.S. House of Representatives. This won’t happen but I do encourage you to work for it politically if you disagree with my analysis. My understanding is that Biden seems to personally agree with her about supporting Taiwan. I don’t know but it seems reasonable to suspect he may even privately be happy she can do what he can’t. It’s too bad American policy with regard to supporting democracy abroad is only widely supported when it’s an imperial, illegal invasion. Here is a chance to do it peacefully and to ignore the Saber rattling of the Chinese dictatorship. I understand some people are too afraid to do this now, or they don’t care about people outside of America. As someone with (American) friends in Taiwan, that isn’t my position. As someone proud of the good things about American democracy, defending and supporting nascent democracy around the world is a good thing. I understand this is going out of fashion. As someone who has lived in and traveled frequently to less than free societies, I implore others to not give up the support for democracy, especially when it is peaceful political discourse under violent threats from illiberal bullies.

So do thousands of people, because they're pragmatic and useful. They're the Honda Civic of the working software world. For people doing real work, you have a whole host of great languages available, and there's no sense in pretending that one of them isn't PHP just because you think you're still doing comp sci at uni. There's definitely better languages than PHP, no doubt. But we're in the trenches now, getting stuff done, and people have been getting great things done in PHP for years.
