Ok, I'll (belatedly) try. From my perspective, you started off fine with https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32523182.

Already with https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32524176, though, you started breaking the site guidelines by leading with "Do you think AWS is run as a public service?", which is obviously not what anyone thinks. That broke the site guideline that asks you not to be snarky, as well as this one: "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith." (The rest of that post seems fine.)

Things went further off the rails with https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32524512. This is definitely a flamewar comment, in the tit-for-tat style, which we want to avoid here. When people lead with "What?" and/or start arguing about who said what and who's misrepresenting who, this is not curious conversation, it's irritable meta-argument. That's basically always off topic here. The thing to do when tempted to post like that is to just walk away. Let the other person "win"—the actual winner is the one who finds the freedom to walk away first.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32525065 is more of the same, although not in the tit-for-tat sequence. It's just not interesting or helpful to post complaints about being wrongly accused, misunderstood, etc. Again, it's not curious conversation, which is what we want here.

I realize the other commenter was provocative and also broke the rules (probably worse than you did), but from their perspective it's not hard to understand how you provoked them.

Commenters here need to follow the rules regardless of what anyone else does. It always feels like the other person started it and did worse, so ultimately all parties have to be ok with an "unfair" (i.e. one that feels unfair) outcome, or things just keep deteriorating.
"hello" is impossible to triage.

You should essentially never do syn/ack IRL. If you don't know precisely what the recipient is doing, you do not know what they are doing, it could be important. Always lead with info to help them prioritize things. Ideally in the first ~5 words, because that's all they may see in the notification.

(this is also IMO why phone calls are terrible. they're the equivalent of "hello" over a channel that has no other message, so everything must be assumed to be maximum urgency or you might miss something truly critical)

Putting a hooligan amongst decent people works, but only of the decent people can force the hooligan to behave. Most of the time, it works by just peer pressure, even in the positive sense. But for those who don't yield, a society at large has police. And a classroom does not have police.

So a teacher has a choice: to be a saint (and do miracles), to be the police (with hands tied though), or to be a victim. Sadly, many end up with the third option :(

Depends whether by "safe" you mean "not using unsafe" or "the implementation is safe". Many core data structures in Rust use unsafe, but I think most people would consider them safe implementations.
For who don't satisfied with Bluetooth audio quality, I wonder is it fine to use internal DAC on a Phone rather than good quality external DAC via USB-C.
It seems as though a lot of people view it as hypocritical, e.g., generics for me but not for thee (dated example since there are now generics for everyone).

The fact that they needed to make a map a part of the language in order to allow it to be generic and statically-typed proves that generics are useful and should therefore have been a language feature much earlier than they became one.

There are a variety of things that the standard library or compiler deal with using weird workarounds that seem to indicate missing language features.

The thing is, the features are only "missing" if the language is designed to do the things those features permit. So the counterargument is that Go is a very opinionated language designed to do solve a few classes of problem very easily, like writing database-backed web services, and the reason the standard library or compiler teams have to do weird hacks at times is because Go wasn't made for writing those things, and designing to make those use cases easy would pollute the language from the perspective of someone using it for its intended purpose.

I have personal experience with trying to serve legally non-compliant customers: don’t waste energy convincing them to follow the law - they won’t.

I worked for a company whose reason for existing was because clients needed it to comply with the law.

If you didn’t hire, or employ, someone like us, you were violating the law.

Sales pitch was pretty simple: hire us, or you’re a felon.

It was insanely hard to get people to use our services.

It reached the point where sales gave up on trying to convince people to start following the law, and instead focusing on poaching clients from competitors (that is, folks who had already decided to follow the law).

Best advice is don’t fight them. If they’re not gonna do it, they’re not gonna do it.

Depending on the specifics you either reject them as a client, or accept them and file the appropriate paperwork.

I was recording TV well over 10 years ago with a Hauppauge TV Tuner card in my PC. I tried MythTV (on Linux), and Kodi and the like, but settled on MediaPortal (on Windows). I controlled the PC with a HTPC remote. I originally used MediaPortal's recording engine, but eventually switched to Argus TV, because it had smarter features (and integrated back into MediaPortal, so nothing was lost on the GUI side).

Anyway, the way most of these recording engines would work is basically that they would feed the recorded video through a "script" at the end, and so within that script you could send it to another program to find the ads. This was done with [ComSkip](https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal1/C...) on MediaPortal and Argus TV. From memory, ComSkip would write a txt file or similar next to the video, and that was like a metadata file letting the playback program know where the ads were.

I'm not 100% sure how ComSkip worked internally, but there are many clues in the video stream it could use to find the ads (eg. often the static logo would disappear, or the teletext end, or the volume increase). It wasn't perfect, but it was good enough. I reckon with today's machine learning capabilities, such a program could be written to skip the ads perfectly 99% of the time. But I doubt anyone will, because even I haven't used my HTPC in this manner for over 5 years (I don't even have the TV connected to the aerial any more). Now my HTPC is just a fanless mini PC stick with Win11, a keyboard and mouse on the coffee table, and I stream through the web browser.

Is there not USB-C headphones and adapters? I can see why it isn't exactly preferable but if they started making phones with 2 USB-C jacks I probably wouldn't mind all that much, but I would prefer a magnetic type of adapter that is low profile so that there is less risk of damaging the port.
Where is it clear that there is great market demand? The only time I see devices like this discussed is in the small maker community. And the technology limitation of not being a fast updating display limits it to more niche uses.

> any government only giving food to some, instead of offering it to all, is already oppressive.

if the "gov't" offers food to all for free, then who makes that food?

The only reason food is being offered for free in the US is because it's such a rich country that leeching off a few to give food to those in need is not a huge expense.

> Getting that money from an investor, government, employer, friend, or stranger is no different for me than getting money from family or any other source.

getting money from the gov't is different from getting it from any of the other sources you listed. The gov't money is taken from people in the country by "force". The other sources you mentioned are all voluntary and so is acceptable to take from.

> maybe stop judging how people are going about doing things

well, it's getting judged because this method of living is called being carried by others when you didn't have to be. Aka, taking advantage of the welfare state, or less charitably, leeching off the work of others. It's one thing for such welfare to be available to those who need it - it's another to expect your life to be paid for by taxpayers.
I’m kind of confused here. How is this a business issue for you? Would using Stripe Tax or something like it help?

Is there not a way to do safe linked lists in Rust?
Absolutely. Web development with Go and supporting some PHP and Python apps. Tech management understands and values developers. I typically spend less than 30 minutes a day in calls/standup with the rest of my time spent in active development. Most of our developers are remote, including myself. No after-hours availability requirements. How did I get here? Found the job online and applied.
It's really hard to take those arguments without a whole serving of salt because the things that it's ostensibly good at handling really aren't that much easier. Why is (un)marshalling data in a type safe way so damn hard in Go? Why does doing the same thing over and over and over and over never get easier? (Because the language lacks high level abstractions.

I used Go extensively at my last job and I was left feeling that there were pretty much always better choices. If you care about developer velocity with your more unskilled engineers, Go is a bad choice for a multitude of reasons. If you're going to need the performance over something else, the JVM is right there, and so too is Rust.

I'm sympathetic to what I guess are these issues but the article was like WAT?

> The shortages have started hitting colleges

> They’ve never paid us a living wage

Google's average college teacher's salary. Looks like a living wage to me. I see $73k to $250k

I guess the author meant public K-12 schools in which case it's probably right? Though the first Google says average in California is $82k (not sure that is or is not a living wage)

> When I tell someone I’m a teacher, they don’t say anything along the lines of “thank you for your service.” No, they usually talk about how much they hated school. They complain about your summers off.

Really? I've never heard anyone disparage teachers but maybe I'm out of the loop

> Most Americans don’t think teaching is a real job. They think schools exist in order to warehouse children while their parents do the real work, and to keep them out of trouble.

I've never heard this. I've heard people complain that's all they're allowed to do in some schools because discipline is disallowed but I've never heard anyone say teaching wasn't a real job. In fact I've only ever heard the opposite. It's one of the toughest jobs there is, in part because it's more than 40hrs a week

> Burnout is just victim blaming.

I've never heard that ever

This I do know. Even long decades ago my teachers all had second jobs.

> what really drives teachers out of the profession... is lack of autonomy.

Yes, i've heard that at least

I guess I'm just ranting that the post seems kind of incoherent. I don't have a solution. Move to Norway or some other place where they value teachers. The USA seem over in so many ways and I see no possible way it's going to get better.
If anything I expect people higher up in the hierarchy to be less sensitive about being interrupted, and more on board with optimizing information flow. On the other hand, with people who are more junior/less confident you are more at risk of discouraging them from sharing useful information if you interrupt too often, so it can be counterproductive.

One thing that I find tends to help is interrupting with questions rather than statements as that sort of keeps the ball in the other person’s court.

This depends on the game, a bit. I believe you are talking about reacting to unplanned events. For some games, such as beat-matching ones, where players might have patterns memorized, smaller latencies matter. I remember working on PS game, where Sony requested that we poll input faster than our 60Hz refresh rate so we could apply special "super accurate" bonuses for players that could hit things within such tiny thresholds.

Apparently in Japan where such games are especially popular (or were at the time), players really do appreciate such razor-thin input timing margins.

Oh, get off it. He's not "pretending to disagree", merely providing further context for the anti-utility of the PoW algorithm. The point is that the colloquial understanding of "solving a problem" implies more utility than what is actually happening, which is equivalent to guessing a random number. The mere statement that a problem is being solved at all implies that useful work is being done, which is not the case and the parent comment is right to point that out.
