Unfortunately your article is not proof that "it’s worse in many cases".

First, the article is talking about rejections (primarily in relationships) not racial slurs.

Second, I read the article fast so maybe I missed something, but I didn't see anything saying the emotional is worse than physical other than this sentence "Third, it is important to remember that we recall emotional rejection more strongly than physical pain, and it can therefore cause longer-term sensitivity". The article didn't provide any proof of this, they just made the claim. Also, recalling past pain may or may not happen frequently. How many people recall something mean a random person said on the internet?

Third, the average person likely won't feel strong feelings of emotional rejection if some random person on the internet says something mean to them. The article is clearly talking about rejection from family, friends, spouse, etc.

Based on your argument it seems like we should ban breakups since it can be worse than sexual assault. Would you be fine with that? If not then why are racial slurs different?
I guess I don’t understand, it seems like you’re actually disillusioned from school and your relationship ending?

You haven’t actually worked in tech though, right?

I would recommend getting a job in the field and at least trying it before you declare it dull and pointless. Personally I wasn’t crazy about a bunch of people that majored in comp sci either, but I’ve made a ton of friends through my career and worked on interesting and challenging problems and get paid pretty well to do it.

Maybe also consider going to therapy or talking to someone, it seems like you might just be depressed over your breakup, which is perfectly reasonable.
I think Dalle's ability to produce good images out of the gate is pretty limited, but I've found that using the fill-in feature along with existing images from google and photoshop, I can pretty much get anything I conceptualize with about 20 minutes of work and like 10 prompts.

It's not fully removing humans from the equation, but you can take something that used to take days and make it a 20 minute operation.
There is a thing called the answerback message: computer sends Ctrl-E (0x05, "ENQ"), and the terminal response with the pre-programmed answerback message.
Maybe the message is a shell command, like "rm -rf *" or "chmod a+rwx ."

You can program this message in the setup screen of the terminal. Maybe you can set up all the terminals in the computer center at night...

You can send Ctrl-E to a user with "write" or "wall"..

This answerback message is actually really old, exists even in mechanical ASR-33 teletypes:

Would the votes apply only to the specific search query?
The key with something like this is combining it with your house hvac. Assuming you have a heat pump based AC for your house (a safe assumption in so cal), you simply use the hot side of your houses AC heat pump circuit, heat that you normally just vent out to the atmosphere, and use that waste heat to heat your pool. Basically you put a heat exchanger where the radiator (hot side of the AC) was. Instead of putting the heat into the air through aluminum fins and fans, you put it into water flowing in copper pipes, then circulate that water into your pool.

This way you heat your pool for free (at least no more than you were paying before to cool your house). The bonus is that the heat exchangers with water sinks are super efficient.
A callous recommendation that men get therapy (there is a shortage where I am and it is also definitely priced out of reach of the lower classes) and the article culminates in gloating. Great.

The mention of the Depp trial was also not welcome; as if two cashed-up celebrities having an embarrassing public stoush in the courts is in some way reflective of patriarchy.
It’s definitely an extremely competitive market. But…

Can you name a currently-produced car that doesn’t have the SOS button on it? It’s been mandatory in the EU since 2018. I can’t find proof that it’s mandatory in the US, so maybe you can find one that doesn’t have it.

Anyway, it if has that button (technically named eCall), it has the hardware in place to be fully connected. So the manufacturers figure they might as well use it for other data collection and get some money out of being forced to include that hardware.

Such is life
> I get work is first and foremost an exchange of labour for money, and not supposed to be fun. But aren't there more options I missed so far?

I felt the exact same way. The truth is most jobs are CRUD or CRUD-like. Not just in tech, but in most professions. How many doctors see the exact same cases day in and day out? How many lawyers fill out routine legal forms? The truth is most professionals are not doing anything challenging or ground breaking and they are well overqualified. If you want fulfillment from your work then I recommend you start your own small business because it will challenge you in more ways than software engineering alone will. Either that or do what most of the population does and have 2.5 kids and a house with a white picket fence. It might come off as cliché, but life is what you make of it.
That only works if people are using the same search term AND looking for exactly the same thing... If they're looking for different search things but using the same search terms (i.e. some people are using sub-optimal search terms), that's just going to add effective random noise to the ratings.

Given how location-aware some things sometimes need to be (including spellings / alternative words, which in my experience, Google is a lot better at than DDG), I don't see how that works at all.

I do look over libraries that I’m adopting in a number of projects (and often review the differences between version upgrades). At the same time, I don’t look over the source code to PostgreSQL or libpq or even postgrex (the Elixir library for PostgreSQL).

But in terms of Getting Things Done, I also did `pnpm add date-fns` this afternoon and have never reviewed the code for `date-fns`, because it seems to do what it says on the tin and is generally well-regarded. There’s a balance to be obtained, and you have to trust someone, because you’re not going to read the source code to clang or gcc.

So in general, I agree with you: the article here is horrible advice.
I don’t think these sorts of code golfs are meant to be impressive. They are fun because they make you explore the quirks of your language/framework to try to optimize the constraint.

I find them to be pretty useful when you are learning a new language. That said, the 500 line snake is probably more fun to play than the codegolfed snake.
What makes you think a user rating system wouldn't be gamed?
I am curious why this is phrased as a binary question.. I get you do not want to interact with people at all above what is bare minimum required.. but what is bare minimum in your mind?

You are tasked with solving business problems and most of your effort is in understanding and modelling the problem correctly. How do you understand the problem in the first place? Do you talk to the business team, end users etc? Is this part of your bare minimum?

You get struck and want to double check with someone. How do you do it? Is this also bare minimum?

Someone else gets struck and want to check with you or they do not understand why you solved something a particular way.. This also needs interaction. Is this also bare minimum?

If you take all of these together, you do interact quite a bit with your coworkers to do the bare minimum to do your job. I do not know what is specially transactional about any of these, but if you try to be pleasant when you interact, that is all that is asked for. No one is asking you to invest time to build relationships beyond work.

However, if you do build such relationships, you might find it useful and pleasant in long run. Maybe you might be looking for a job or your team might be hiring. You need a recommendation on something you are not an expert at or as simple as you are visiting a new place and would just want to socialize.
The thing about DuckDuckGo is that the search results are trash compared to Google, or even Bing.

For example if I search for something super simple like:

"what is another word for happy"

Google lists synonyms at the top of the page from Oxford.

If I do the same exact search on DDG

I just get the definition of happy and no synonyms.

Today, I would bet that the majority of searches aren't to find websites but to find answers to questions.

DDG sucks at answering questions.
By the way, "Duck Duck Go" seems to be a terrible marketing name.
Completely agree that "good" vs "evil" are terms relative to a particular institutional/political bias, and while it is impossible for any person to be outside ALL institutional/political frames, it is vitally important from the "inside" to be refreshed with outsider perspectives from time to time.

What strikes me- as an American who thinks Trump is a sociopath as well as a grifter and who suggested the "terrorist" framing earlier in this thread- what strikes me as an opportunity in the public conversation with and about Jan 6 and Trump that has not been explored in any way is the fact that the vast majority of those who came to the Capital, even those with violent intent, spoke about and believed they were acting with a patriotic duty- exactly the same duty that those of us who looked upon those actions with horror and disgust feel and experience.

I think there is an opportunity for a political actor to speak to the Trump audience and start from that place of patriotism, that place of dury- that is what all "Americans" have in common. It should be possible to tell a story that stays on the path of what is common to all patriots, and in doing so start to repair the broken views of those currently in the Big Lie faithful.

However, no political actor has actually done so. Maybe the time is not right. Maybe the visionary who can craft that story isn't yet with us.

In their absence- there IS good and evil because here there ARE sides. The world that those with violent intent came to the capital to enshrine are evil, and terrorists, from my perspective- the above notwithstanding!

Sometimes politics fails. And you have to take sides.

Best wishes to you.

I've been on r/programming since 2006 or so, and the nature has changed drastically in the past maybe 3-4 years. I think there are a lot of wannabes who hang out there now, as opposed to dyed in the wool nerds. I recently had to go out of my way to tell someone that no, you aren't wrong for saying you generally shouldn't write commentless code, because like 50 people were being nasty to them by unironically saying "Code should be self documenting", as if they read that on a blog post some where but have never written a line of code in their life.
I remember a small studio/individual developer who had their iOS update stuck in review hell after they publicized an Android port.

The app had been previously featured in the app store, and had no feature changes when the review process screetcyed to a halt. I'm hoping someone on HN remembers the details, but I'll try to Google and update this comment if I find the article. In the mean time, take it wirh a pinch of salt as I may be misremembering.
VAG sells the 1.8 TSI in the US in addition to many variations of the 2.0 TSI.

That 1.5 TSI is not really a performance engine and it needs to be as inexpensive as possible. Chains are more expensive than belts.

Bill Atkinson, the author of Quickdraw and the main user interface designer, who was by far the most important Lisa implementor, thought that lines of code was a silly measure of software productivity. He thought his goal was to write as small and fast a program as possible, and that the lines of code metric only encouraged writing sloppy, bloated, broken code.

[...]

He was just putting the finishing touches on the optimization when it was time to fill out the management form for the first time. When he got to the lines of code part, he thought about it for a second, and then wrote in the number: -2000.

> hCaptcha’s solve rate meets a 99 percent benchmark, according to Khedouri, meaning that out of 100 users, 99 can solve the query within two tries.

That’s a 10% fail rate under standard independence assumptions. They wonder why people are freaking out.

For one of my ISPs (carrier grade nat), I get multiple captchas per hour, and frequently find my IP has been shadow banned. This is exclusively while reading the news and using paid accounts in long term good standing.
Your body has a lot of processes that run on a 24-24.5 hour clock, such as metabolism, melatonin and temperature, which are mostly synchronized and coordinated by bright light exposure. You're designed to sleep during part of that 24 hour cycle, and be awake during another part.

Large disruptions are worse than small ones. Waking up 1 hour earlier than normal occasionally is not a large disruption. Jet lag because you woke up 5 hours earlier would be a big disruption.

What does a big disruption look like in terms of measurements? All of the many processes than normally oscillate together in phase go out of phase.

I'm no expert in this stuff, but if you want to read about it, search for "chronobiology".
It's not just how DDG works, but how search works and how difficult the search problem is. This was a complete waste of my time and people voting this up are clearly equally clueless or haven't even bothered to read it before voting.

A choice quote from the article:

> So, that’s another opportunity for DuckDuckGo, by ranking the results based on the content’s quality and relevance, as Google used to do before. I consider that there are some methods to accomplish this; one could be to rank the content through the community or actually use artificial intelligence to categorize the academic/relevance level.

LOL.
I hope our environment doesn’t become so adverse that we need to evolve that capability but little do we know about the human of the future, whether it will even be our ancestor or a complete different species.
idk that this conclusion can be made. maybe the wasteful work culture is what enables them to generate high profits...
Only because more 'feels' better, so you take more. And then, more still 'feels' better. If you only stick to doses you can't feel, it's long term reliable IMHE.
I don't know how they do it but it seems easy in practice. You hash the concatenation of chunks of data submitted by participants. Adding more data to the hash can only make it more random, not less. As long as at least one participant wants the outcome to be random and therefore they submitted actual random bits, the result will be random no matter how unrandom all the other participants' data chunks were.
Kuiper needs to get off the ground, no idea what their timeline is but... yeah.

Hm, they were supposed to launch two satellites in 2021, now that's pushed to Dec 2022. They "announced" 83 launches with way-more-expensive than SpaceX and fictitious New Glenn launches. Blue Origin has been way way way behind its estimates.

... Kuiper has Bezos money behind it, but we'll see. Starlink is already up, and if Starship launches, I doubt anyone but SpaceX can compete.

Elon the prognosticator says 1-12 months for first starship launch. Even if it's two years, Starship likely becomes operational before even a minimal Kuiper flotilla.

But, competition is good, so even if that happens, I hope Bezos keeps the money flowing.
Are People Allowed to Use Deadly Force to Defend Property?
Yeah but I'm accustomed to the HN ignorance of the form "why do they not simply rank the document I want at the top?" People may underestimate the difficulties of web search and I understand that. But how can they not understand that DDG is just a marketing outlet of Bing? That doesn't take any thought at all.

Storing it in a different process at the very least lets you restart/deploy changes to/crash your application without losing that data. Or building your own replication/in-place upgrader/well you're just screwed if it crashes.
If the claim is "huge external costs", since those are not quantified, then it's fair to ask "compared to what".

So I compared it to communism.

Not a professional graphic designer, but did some graphic design classes and photography/photo editing classes in college, and still do it as a hobby.

Things that at one time took days can now be done in minutes with some skillful use of Dall-E + Photoshop. IMO, any image editing software that incorporates a similar technology will take over the market and it'll be one of the most important features in any graphic designer's toolkit.

A talented graphic designer who can also use a dall-e like tool is worth at least 5x the pay of one who can't (although I don't think we're going to get a "prompt engineer" title, it's really not that difficult a skill to pick up for people who already do image editing).
Making a distinction between social networking and social media is important. We lost this distinction due to the advertising business model. In the social space a company that focuses on the social networking aspect - connecting people, tools to stay in touch, get together in real life, etc - may actually avoid the corrosive nature of the social space by avoiding the 'media' part.
Smart people would be contacting their state legislators to ban this. Complaining on hacker news won't accomplish much.

They are equating something they do not agree with to Nazism. That is why they posted a swastika. People are in turn labeling the person posting the tweet as the Nazi because they seem to "act like a Nazi". The tactic they are using... in your own words is a Nazi tactic.
> 1- only reasonable if the companies staff are prejudicial against protected groups. Granted this is true of most companies, so perhaps reforming toxic culture should take a higher precedent if lawsuits are so scary…

You seem to be assuming that lawsuits are only filed for legitimate grievances. It's easier to never have to deal with a lawsuit than try to prove you didn't discriminate.
This is the exact reason why I have settled on Obsidian. I just cannot feel comfortable with investing my intellectual life's work into a system that has no clean exit path.

This is also why I'm looking forward to trying to use the Digital Marketplaces Act to demand API/Docs for the content of my Apple Notes. Its very easy to use on my devices, but the format lock in is unacceptable. I want to be able to just sketch some random written thoughts before incorporating them into Obsidian later, but the new format is pretty obtuse and makes this pretty hard. I actively avoid using it due to the data lock in, which is a shame since it works so well with the pencil on the iPad.
Or buying Activision/Blizzard or Bethesda. Game pass is bad news for the industry at large. The price floor will drop and quality will suffer.

hCaptcha has been making odd choices since before smiling dogs. I remember when it would give you a prompt; some kind of landscape feature, and you'd have to pick kind of similar landscapes, which never really seemed to match the feature. I'm also sure that such a thing is not accessible for the visually impaired.
