So what? I'm not arguing it was ineffective (it was).

V1 sites were dealt with by a completely different branch of the air arm, using ground attack aircraft.

They couldn't even hit them with the strategic bomber fleet, so they went on being infective with that on city sized targets. But to say that campaign was negatively affected by a focus on dealing with the V1s is both wrong and misleading.
HN being text only is the number one reason (imo). I think the shift of internet content going from text->images->video has pulled the internet away from it's original purpose, communicating text and the written word. And HN still has that original essence.

On one hand I agree, but on the other this rule interestingly isn't universal. I'm happy that Spotify caters to my taste in music, for example, rather than just surfacing "top hits", even if I can quibble that I'd like a control to let it venture a bit further afield at times. It's probably my favorite recommendation algorithm, come to think of it.

Though if there was something like a Reddit of music where I could drop in on discussions around a general genre (or tag collection, to use the Pandora model?), that'd be pretty cool and would probably beat Spotify's algorithm for diversity (though yes, there are subreddits already for plenty of genres - maybe I should see how worthwhile they are).
Yeah maybe it's luck. But have to restart my m1 air every evening, memory just gets out of control, then starts to blow up and get really hot and slow. Hopefully next OS version has some improvements.

LG Grams aren't cheap laptops. They don't have the retina display. But they're nice, lightweight (lighter than Mac laptops) and overall feel good.

I'd say it doesn't feel as polished as the latest Mac laptops but it feels way sturdier. My M1 Macbook Air always felt like it's screen was brittle: some porcelaine to be manipulated with the greatest care or it'd break. And break it did, after 10 months, seemingly for no reason.

While my 5 years old LG Gram is still going perfectly fine.

I use it every time I'm not at my beasty desktop.
I co-develop a FOSS VPN-based (tcp/udp) firewall for Android.

The original policy is documented here: https://web.archive.org/web/20220818100735/https://support.g...

What the post misses is Google has exceptions for:

- Parental control and enterprise management apps.

- App usage tracking.

- Device security apps (for example, anti-virus, mobile device management, firewall).

- Network related tools (for example, remote access).

- Web browsing apps.

- Carrier apps that require the use of VPN functionality to provide telephony or connectivity services.

The part where manipulation of ad-based monetization isn't allowed has always been there in one form or another.

A firewall can also be used to firewall ads/trackers though, and so it remains to be seen what Google makes of such apps (there are plenty!) come November (supposed deadline for compliance). Blokada v5 (and below), otoh, isn't a firewall, but a UDP-only DNS client.
Would that work across Linux/macOS/Windows? Thought Nix was generally for Linux, and usable with caveats on macOS, but no Windows support.

Main selling point of Chezmoi seems to be the "multiple diverse machines" part, which would mean multiple OSes and at least Linux/macOS/Windows.

HN is still the best tech news site for me and discussions on what I consider general topics on HN are better than on any social media site.

Unfortunately it is consistently getting worse. 10 years ago a message would only be mass-downvoted for tone, but never for specific opinion expressed or defended. So HN would be a place for interesting discussions without flamewars.

Not anymore. Now I seldom bother posting opinions on touchy topics that are against the "SF bay mainstream" view -- no point of wasting time it the post gets hidden in minutes. On other topics it is still a good discussion place where one doesn't have to fear expressing a minority opinion. My 2c.
Does dns filtering work well with android ?

I've noticed most of the recent android based handled scanner we got at office refuse to even use our dhcp provided dns including to resolve local address (forcing us to use IP instead of dns for our internal warehouse apps) and complain about "no internet" because 8.8.8.8 is not open.
Not to forget LineageOS et al.
Yeah, the most surprising thing was it is only 25,000 bathtubs - once could conceive of easily adding storage area to land that was 25,000 depressions, assuming the land was a few sq miles.

How does DoorDash force drivers to work for them? It seems like they’re offering a compensation policy and drivers are determining that it’s among their best option.
Of course it does. The entire concept of 'state' doesn't even exist on the backend (okay, outside the concept of a user session, but then that barely adds any complexity; perhaps you use the user's ID and that's it). Frontend you've got to think about async calls, which automatically brings three states: loading, success, and error. You may have multiple of these calls and each combination of all of them leads to some crazy complex rendering. It's turtles all the way down if you're a junior (or to be honest, just a lazy dev), it's very easy to make a mess and abuse a library as flexible as React.

From my experience the better you can compose your components, the happier you'll be. And there's nearly always a dead simple way to design something even if from the outside the functionality seems very complex, like this for example: https://codesandbox.io/s/react-text-highlight-2h0kvu?file=/s...

He seems to be (intentionally or not) applying the angel investing mentality on a larger scale. Not expecting each of these companies to work out, but having an outlier or two that covers the whole $100B+ fund. In that case these early losses would be expected, as companies that implode tend to do so quickly, with the winners only emerging many years later (it's only been 5 years).

What I noticed when talking to people with tinnitus:

For some people, putting fingers in their ears and altering the pressure alters the frequency of their tinnitus. For others, it does not.

Could it be that this makes it possible to differentiate between two different types of tinnitus?

For the HN readers with tinnitus - does it alter the frequency for you, when you put fingers in your ears and move the fingers into different directions?
> I was under the impression that macbooks would "just work".

It's just a matter of redefining "just works" as "just works, as long as I adapt my workflow and UI preferences to The One True Apple Way".
I don't know at which level of detail this line of thinking stops, but it's certainly somewhere after "we don't know the pitch or rhythm for any of the notes in this piece, we can only make educated guesses."

App driving: simultaneously a poorly-paid exploitive arrangement and something in such demand that app companies can arbitrarily harm drivers by kicking them out.

Perhaps it’s worth looking into why so many people are seeking to be drivers on the platforms?
I'd argue that progress for progress' sake is a meaningless goal. Especially when "advance the state of the art" or "industrial grade components" aren't argued as concrete tangible value.

When it comes the latter part, defining that value is the essence of the debate. No matter how advanced the technology is, it's just a tool that serves a purpose. Once a business establishes a market dominance, what incentives remain to keep advancing that tech? What guarantees could anyone offer that SpaceX will stay on the "cutting edge" once that point is reached? And how will that impact NASA's ability to make operational choices regarding it's launch capabilities and it's larger mission to foster human exploration of space starting on Earth itself?

Finally, we're not discussing CRS-7 or Falcon 9. This is about SLS and it's Starship counterpart and which developed within their shared, particular timeline.
I think it's fairly unlikely to be explained by "there's secret evidence". We've pulled "whoops, wrong guy" a few times; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Guantanamo_Bay_detaine... contains a number of "determined to be innocent" listings.

The truth is probably closer to "there were a lot of people who sabotaged the attempt"; Republicans, Democrats in swing states, Pentagon officials. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/08/01/why-obama-has-...
I have had my XPS 13 laptop die four times in the past two years, needing a replacement logic board each time.

The laptop is amazing when it's working, default Linux support too, but so far have literally had to ship it back to Dell for at least two months total since I've used it. Usually the turn around is only a few days but they were waiting on a part at one stage for weeks.

I am now looking to do a system exchange with them but am not certain if it's going to go through. At this stage I can't imagine they'd be profitable on this machine given how many times I've had to ship it in for repair.

Hence I sadly cannot recommend the XPS 13 even though I truly love it when it's working and laugh with glee at having 32GB of RAM =]
Unfortunately the only example of a laptop I was aware of with 4x Thunderbolt ports was the much maligned 2016-2019 MacBook Pro series. the new models have 3 - and a dedicated charger port in the new iteration of MagSafe, but can also still charge off the Thunderbolt ports.

Maybe I misunderstand, but I could either pay $9/month and would be able to access it directly, or I wait until you get 5 more sponsors (for that specific page) and then I'll be able to access the content for free, like everyone else?

So if I end up sponsoring the page to view it, I could end up being the fifth sponsor, unlocking the page for everyone and ultimately spent the money for content that now everyone can view too?
I am pointing out one of the many side effects of this policy.

31 years and they still haven’t figured out a way forward. We are all in the same mess, Japan’s situation is just ahead of us. I think their situation is our future. A stagnant economy of zombie companies, a government & central bank playing endless games to avoid collapse and crisis. They will keep this going as long as possible.

I hope they do, it would be an instruction manual for us all, but each decade that passes dims my hope.

Yes, that’s well understood. That’s why people have repeatedly explained for decades why manned space flight is too costly and extremely slow.

It’s probably 100 times cheaper, and 10x faster, to focus on unmanned space projects:

https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2004/04/08/the-wrong-stuff/

In the year 2100, a lot more humans will have gone to space if we iterate quickly with unmanned projects for a few decades then as our capabilities increase, send humans.
This also has the other side that an American style cv, for example, might be seen as "too positive" from eastern European perspective, and thus be ignored. That is; you read 10 CV's, all go through the roof of your superlative scale, therefore you ignore all of it, or consider all candidates as more-or-less equal and/or mediocre.
Hm, that's a lot less cynical of a take than mine I guess!
It’s a huge problem in the sense that these companies destroy a lot of otherwise viable businesses.
Yes, both machines are not too recent (by now I'd expect to find them for cheap on ebay) but they support my workloads more than well. I work in ML and they're fine for general Python programming and exploratory data analysis. I spin a VM for anything that requires more memory/threads.

I'd would probably buy a beefier laptop from Tuxedo Computers or Slimbook if I needed more performances hoping to win the Clevo/Tongfang QC lottery (my T480s was fairly expensive in Italy 3/4 years ago).

So I guess that it ultimately boils down to the type of workload that OP deals with.

edit: poor grammar
The author's thesis largely holds for systems that are at least reasonably well implemented. It's easy to do things that hurt both latency and throughput. You can just waste lots of CPU or memory. You can add unnecessary coordination bottlenecks. You can use inefficient algorithms. Therefore, it follows that you can improve both latency and throughput by fixing these implementation details. Quite often, this will be sufficient for both latency- and throughput-sensitive users.

Of particular note: even if you're already operating in a distributed, partitioned etc. environment, improving per-node efficiency often means that you can serve a given workload with fewer nodes and reduce scaling costs. In the extreme case, the less efficient system would require so many nodes even if it scaled linearly that the more-than-linear coordination costs would kill it entirely. In other words, there's always an absolute limit on how "big" your system can grow. To raise that limit you must often address both per-node performance and scaling efficiency.

This is not merely hypothetical. When I was working on distributed filesystems, a competing system that was genuinely more scalable in terms of node count was so ruinously inefficient on each node that they not only couldn't beat us on latency but they basically couldn't beat us on throughput per dollar at any level either. So they resorted to politics instead of engineering, but that's another topic. The key point here is that eliminating waste will typically improve both metrics while adding scalability will only improve one at most and might actually not even raise the ceiling on that.

Once a system is "well implemented" as I've described, the OP's tradeoff becomes relevant. But TBH a lot of systems just never get to that point. They end up being good enough for business purposes even when there's still tons of room for technical improvement. Often, some simple math around utilization levels and controls around batch sizes will suffice.

> In general flourishing p.v. plants are far smaller than typical fossil/nuclear power plant.

Why do you consider this important, rather than the aggregate output of all of them together?

As you say later, you've got PV on your own roof. If everyone in a small city does that, it's the same output as a nuclear plant, if they do that with a battery pack each (and I add a caveat about installation costs which I'm told are needlessly high in some places such as the US) then it can also be the same cost and reliability as a nuclear plant.

(Nuclear is expensive, so batteries backing PV is not (yet) no-brainer cheap, this is part of why I suggest hydrogen and/or global grid whenever the topic comes up).

> Some big projects in exotic places do exists, in early stage, like the recent Uzbekistan push (who already made unrest and armed revolts) like the old Desertec scam.

What Uzbekistan push? What are the rioters supposed to do with any of this?

What Desertec scam? The investors backing out? Because that's just normal for business, and the organisation of that name is still around.

> offer a nominal far little mean power respect of the others.

I have no idea what this is trying to say.

> How does it count? I can state equally that the actual uranium collected in human hands can produce far far far more, but that's just a statement simply because "nominal" count nothing.

What do you mean "how does it count"? It's a significant contributor to the global electricity supply.

> I'm one of them, since I have a small p.v. with lithium storage. Oh with the artificially skyrocketed electricity prices perhaps (still unsure) it will pay back.

Given lithium batteries are the most expensive storage option, and despite that cost it's still something close enough you're unsure about, and it's still getting cheaper, why are you so pessimistic?

I value the community here as I feel I’m getting thoughts and opinions that are not being filtered to suit my desires like Reddit and Twitter can.

For example I’m a long term Cryptocurrency user/investor/advocate and Hacker News is one of the few places I read negative discussions on Cryptocurrency that are well reasoned and anchored in reality.

Most discussion I see on other sites is either negative out of bitterness (and it shows) or positive for no reason other than misplaced hope.

There are other topics too I find insightful and the comments section often valuable even though it’s a topic that makes me feel not so good. For example topics regarding getting old, ageism, what we spend out time on in life.

Often confronting but helpful to see and read, sometimes causing me to change trajectory.

Again I rarely find a similar level of confrontation on websites to my wants and desires outside Hacker News.

I have a healthy group of friends that will confront me with similar levels of unease, never letting me get to comfortable.

Just wish more websites offered a similar experience.

Twitter and Reddit I find are time sinks with little return other than a place to burn time.
Sadly, Godot discontinued their visual scripting recently (which admittedly had a quite low level of abstraction and made some things cumbersome to create).

Isn't this just an argument for a monopoly? Several competing taxi services would be fragmented. One monopoly taxi service would be more efficient. But in that case, I'd argue the municipality should just operate it as part of the public transit system.
I love Hacker News because it's a place people share their expertise. People usually don't get away with b.s. because other experts will correct them. So many times I've read an interesting article and then checked the comments to find out why it was flawed and or conversely, why my interest was well placed. HN can be a tough crowd for your medium article or weekend project, but it wouldn't be interesting or useful if it wasn't. Diversity of thought is encouraged but personal attacks are not. It's a good balance. I'd like to thank dang for his hard work in making HN what it is day in and day out.

The domain situation is something that I don't have a good understanding on, and part of the reason why I outsource the responsibility to a third party email provider - namely that they will do a better job protecting their own domain, than I'd do protecting mine.

I understand that some domains carry some legal attachment. That the new vanity domains are not as trustworthy as others, some are even filtered, as email validators reject it for not being a "valid" address even. Some TLDs need to have a business registered on a location, etc. And I understand that the oldest ones (com, org, net) are among the most universally accepted. But I don't know what carries greater risk: 1. me losing control over my domain, or 2. me losing access to my email account (Posteo in particular - I wouldn't just trust any email provider).
