I think there's an issue somewhere. I was getting "AttributeError: module 'lowbar' has no attribute 'lowbar'. Did you mean: 'LowBar'?" until I changed "LowBar" to "lowbar" in lowbar.py using the example code.

Looks great though!

Completely agree - it’s a tonne of extra ceremony for essentially no payoff. JSON-based RESTful services are just simpler and more universal.

If you want code gen from API specs, you can have OAS specs that you create/edit with Stoplight Studio, and then generate types/clients/server-stubs for basically any language with OpenAPI Generator, just as you would with gRPC. And obviously can generate docs, etc. from them too. But unlike with gRPC, you can still use widely available REST middleware, browser dev tools request inspection works better, can curl your services, anyone can call them without special tooling, etc.
Not always, though: https://www.blog.google/products/search/improvements-searchi....

Ah yes I forgot Betteridge's law. I wasn't exactly sure what the headline should be, I almost made it something more definitive. But I think what I was actually trying to do with that headline was sort of a double bluff - modern attitudes to the effects of the internet are pretty negative and cynical that I would assume everyone would immediately think the answer to that question should be "no", and so I'm trying to put forward the surprising case for it to perhaps be "yes". (While not dismissing or shying away from any of the modern criticisms, which I mostly completely agree with).

Thanks for this links, they're really interesting. They are exactly the sort of questions I'm exploring here, and I think we should all be asking.
You don't think that high housing prices cause homelessness?

People don't become homeless because they can't afford the most expensive homes, they become homeless because the least expensive homes are still priced too high. This is not a hard concept to understand.

When I say "SF has expensive housing" I'm not talking about mansions, I'm talking about the crappiest, worst possible studio or bedroom under a staircase being rented for exorbitant amounts of money.
Make It Clear by Patrick Henry Winston has a permanent place on my bookshelf. He breaks communication down into a structured system and applies it to a variety of forms including (beyond standard prose documents) things like decks, pitches, and lectures.
Yeah when I see basketball and tennis courts, city parks, or zoos I think of all the affordable housing that could be built there instead.

Hell, bulldoze Golden Gate Park in SF and build a ton of cheap housing there! Same with Central Park in NYC.

No more fun until more housing gets built.

Yeah. For a site that claims to help people escape the filter bubble this seems like evidence that they don't. Maybe it's your location, or your typical searches that are giving you better results, but duckduckgo fails that test for me every time.
That's not a problem in Australia. The LOT OF INFORMATION is really in the hands of a pile of people. Breaches in security (even medical systems) are almost weekly, so everyone really has access to all the info.

The police use bus passes to track criminals, and even the use of COVID check-ins are fair game.
You're talking about the "eight, seven, six" variations under each named color, right? Like it's hard to tell the 3 cyans apart from each other? If so, they look the same to me too.

On the other hand, if you can't tell apart the cyan from the magenta, something else is going on.
> The issue with the electric ones is that those lawn care companies have crews that run leaf blowers all day long from one house to another. This is no longer possible

Why does this matter though? Does this army of leaf blowers that run all day actually contribute anything useful?

I get some people like a tidy yard or tidy lawn or whatever. Who cares though? It shouldn't be treated as some inalienable right to have a tidy driveway so leaf blowers must be allowed.

> We're just increasing inefficiencies.

Yes but it doesn't matter because the job of blowing leaves doesn't matter. It's just control freaks trying to tightly control nature and franky, who cares. They can pay more for the privilege of having someone use a rake or broom to clean up leaves instead.

I wonder if we are looking at it from the wrong point of view, yes the environment is warmer but that should be an advantage to reptiles. It would make sense that all the turtles would be more active in a warmer environment including their reproductive activities. Less but more active males plus more females equals more reproduction of the species. No?
I have deuteranomaly (the most common form of red-green deficiancy), and this doesn't work for me at all. I often rely on colors having both different hues and different saturation/brightness. I realize this is very likely not a goal of this color palette, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.
That is where Popper comes in. According to him, we can’t prove a physical model, only falsify it. So we can say that the authors derived a prediction from the model, that can be tested. If a black hole is observed to unstable it will falsify the theory.

Us devs like to complain about Excel because it's sloppy, but ERPs tend to be so awful to use. It's the same as thinking you know how to write clean code, then balking at everyone else's code. Excel sheets are just another "someone else's dirty code".

Given the general quality of software in the world today, I would expect that most ERPs are just as bad as Excel sheets under the hood.

Has any tech company that laid off 50% of it’s employees survived? Maybe one or two. That would seem to indicate that the 50% number is too high.

Perhaps you see it as 50% as like when people say they only need 10% of the functionality of MS Word so they could drop 90%. Except that 10% is different for everyone.

> Santa Cruz also has a big homeless problem, and they aren't locals - but they're not druggies either, they're literally university students.

That's quite a generalization and simplication of Santa Cruz situation.

A non-trivial percentage of UCSC students are homeless, yes.

That doesn't mean the homeless are literally all students, far from it. Most of them are well past university age and have no association with UCSC.

> The city just hates that it has a UC and refuses to build student housing for it.

Again it's complex. Santa Cruz is a very small slice of land between the ocean and unbuildable steep mountains (a lot of it protected forest land, state parks and so on). It can't expand to the north nor to the south.

The only direction to build is east (towards Watsonville) but transportation there and back is a huge problem so building to the east without addressing transportation won't solve anything.

UCSC itself isn't helping, since they keep driving aggressive student population growths without any regard to where any of them are going to be able to live.
Make smaller PRs then. It's a lot slower to bisect if only some of the commits even compile.
> But, "proof" of God's existence in this way would eliminate the need for faith.

Okay.

Why does this matter?

Either we believe things because there is some evidence for them, or we do not. Why would the elimination of faith actually be something any human should care about in the slightest?
Could you rephrase that question in a way that makes it perhaps less clear how much bad faith it's being asked in? Thanks!

> more apartments to be built exclusively in neighbourhoods dominated by the poor

Specifically, apartments to be built in poor neighbourhoods exclusively next to busy highways, where the residents can enjoy chronic exposure to toxic gases, tire dust, and car honking sounds.
There's antisemitic conspiracy theories and hate filled documents they simply won't give you. Such as white replacement videos calling for vigilante killing sprees.

Many of the qanon "baker" sites aren't indexed on Google. You can type in the domain, try to feed Google as much leading information as possible and it'll simply not tell you the site exists.

They'll give you articles about them but if you want to see the content you'll have to find it another way.

I've explored multiple of these. There's no robots.txt asking you to go away. The pages are readily scrapable. It's clearly a proactive decision.

Also dangerous medical quackery (such as ingesting heavy metals, infecting yourself with deadly diseases as medicine and bleach enemas) that's led to numerous deaths they simply will not provide to you.

I'm guessing the lawyers told them to de-index these sites. Some see this as "censorship by the liberal woke left".

You can go to a Yandex or Bing index to get these things if you're curious although Bing is starting to follow suit as well because I'm guessing their lawyers are equally insistent.

Listen to the Qanon-anonymous podcast back catalog (investigators of the far right) and you'll run into this constantly - they'll have entire episodes dedicated to some document or video Google claims doesn't exist. But then you open up, say, baidu and get 10,000 results
Aren't those some of the most expensive countries on Earth for housing?
I honestly can't understand what's wrong with this. Obviously, wealthy people want to live somewhere the there are no poor people. Class divides, including very physical divides, are a necessity in any society where there are well, classes. Only way to make it unnecessary is to destroy the concept of classes as it is by making it almost impossible to get rich. In any society where there are no losers, no poverty or homelessness, there are also no winners, you can't have the cake and eat it too. Yes here in Europe we are much less likely to face a stinking meth addict in a bus, but we are also almost unable to start a startup and win it big, and these are two sides of the same issue, you can't possibly separate them. To "fix" the problem of class divide and poverty, not just you need to introduce a cradle to grave social support system and overwhelming taxes to fund it, you need to also make the very idea of becoming rich morally unacceptable in the society.

For real. My first thought on seeing the headline was to click through and find out how they were ruining it. Probably most of my queries have quotes in them, just to try and enforce some sanity on the results I get.

Instead this appears to be restoring functionality that was lost. I swear Google used to actually do what this blog post says Google will now do, and I’m not sure when it disappeared, just that I stopped looking at the text blurbs since what they show usually isn’t what I got. Maybe that will change now with this backpedaled change?

At least they’re not ruining it.

Regular expressions in formulas. (Preferably Perl-style.)

Golfing around with LEFT and MID and LEN and RIGHT gets old after a while, and I believe that regular expressions are much easier to explain to someone than the aforementioned nested formulas. (I have some Excel teaching experience.) Not just matching, regex string replace too.

Also, there's always room for adding new options when importing CSVs!

Show HN: Weightless – a minimalist newsletter tool for static sites
Collecting emails sounds easy but if you have a static site, you need to use some sort of an external service for this. Maybe I am too picky but I didn't like the available options so I built one myself.

Here's how it works:

- You create a mailing list on the landing page (weightless.so)

- It gives you a URL you can attach to a <form> tag as an action attribute

- Any time someone submits that form, you receive an email with your subscribers

Collecting emails this way is free, and if you already have a styled form, you can have this up & running in couple minutes.

I know Show HN posts shouldn't require signing up, but I do need to have an email because that's where you get your subscribers list.

One note: Weightless also allows you send mass emails to your subscribers, but that's a paid feature. You DON'T have to use it, you can use Weightless only for collecting emails, and worry about messaging them later. When you are starting out and have only a couple subscribers, you can simply email everyone manually, one by one.
I like to send messages to my partner where I say “I wrote a song for you” and then what follows is a few lines about how they’re great, and in my head it COULD be sung as like a really awkward song, but when you read it it doesn’t really look like a song at all. No rhythm and no rhyme. I guess it’s fun to write a non-song and pretend it’s a song.

Among the options merge commit , rebase and squash merge, rebasing is the problematic one if the commits on the branch are not carefully crafted. Classical merging allows for bisecting and retains historicy.

But IMHO if swash merged lead to a situation that relevant history is lost the PR is too big.
I always love these strong opinions about Australasian responses to Covid, and how they tend to significantly differ from the opinions of the people who live in that country.

Something about it really riled some segments overseas up, to the point they were frothing at the month claiming Australia had concentration camps, and NZ was a socialist hellhole.

You're right about the Australian government's obsession with surveillance though. But then, as a Kiwi, I've always felt that started when John Howard wanted to be best buds with George W Bush, and Australia started mimicking the US.
One of my about 10 year old accomplishment is creating a single sheet to convert numbers to words (123 to One Hundred Twenty Three) in excel without using VBA or Macro. Our IT didn't allow that pesky dialogue saying Enable Macro or something.

Its a two part sheet. One table sis a simple two column lookup where 1 2,3,...9,11,12....19,30,40,....90,100,1000,100000... etc are in front of One, Two, Three etc. All the vocabulary required to write a number.

Second table is a 9 row table, each row working on a digit of maximum number of 9 digits. First row works on 1st number of 9 long number. If its a smaller number like 12657, the first 4 rows return blank string. 5th row works on 1 of 12657. Kind of like loop. Every third from left gets Hundred, Thousand, Million word etc. Every 2-3 etc gets translated if its 11 to 19 or 20+1.

Since 10 years it has worked nicely, and everytime I use it to convert numbers to words for cheque printing, I feel good.

I wrote a bit about it here https://davinder.net/excel-numbers-to-words-no-VBA-part-01/

The article in [2] says that Apple is backtracking on their privacy policy, without ever specifying what stated Apple policy they were not adhering to.

"Ask Apps not to Track" was about an advertiser you did not have a relationship with, building profiles across multiple organizations to profile you without any consent. So a policy was created where apps did have to prompt, and to make it a business requirement to work with Apple. If you track without explicit OS-gathered user consent, you can be kicked from the store. AFAIK, even if you do so via means like IP address correlation.

But the feature wasn't "privacy", it was "ask apps not to track". It is very clearly specified about whether you want multiple organizations to correlate you. It is not meant to be a policy to limit e.g. what the Meta learns about you while you are interacting within Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.
