Thanks! Yes, you can bulk add, we pull in the data as you sign up.

We're looking at thresholds to stop malicious behaviour but at the moment will manually police it until it becomes too much.

We are also rolling out a way to show which skills you have in a project - so perhaps you want to mainly support architecture or training rather than code review - that will come soon, which may help with the original author point.

I'd love to make our scoring system really robust, and that is the plan, eventually!

PM is of course supported by a community; it runs on a subscription model and is actually reporting based on people telling it what's up.

I think you are speculating on a place of ignorance about a community you're not a part of and assume you can simply deduce the state of a community anyways, even when your priors are completely wrong.
Ultra racers usually hire a spot tracker for the duration of the event.
I don't get it. What is a "community manager"? Is it someone that runs a company's social media page? And do they think that people care about their brand so much that they would join a community of people whose only common trait is liking the same brand? And in the first place, how do you even build a "community" manually and artificially? It's almost a bastardization of the word, as if a community is not a set of people with similar goals but instead yet another way to convert people's time and desire for social interaction into profit.

The article implies that community building should be some kind of altruistic purpose, where your only goal is to maximize the amount of "meaningful relationships" created? But building an artificial community in the first place can never be altruistic because the end goal of it all is to guide people to your product or conference or whatever. If you were an actual altruistic community builder, you would be telling people to get off the Internet and go make "meaningful relationships" with people in real life.

I guess I could have said "the database". I think we're talking about the same thing. Without (some) users you won't get many listings; without enough listings you won't grow users organically. So, you need money to grow through GTM of some sort, and/or a really good organic growth strategy.
RCS involves carriers because the username is a phone number. iMessage also involves carriers when using the phone number as the username (there's verification of the number that you usually don't see).

RCS is also a standard the GSMA (gsm carrier association) came up with and didn't deploy terribly much. I don't think 'it's a standard' stands for much when it's only moving forward because one company is pushing it unilaterally. (It doesn't help that that company has a history of abandoning messaging products)

Disclaimer: not in the EU, but have lived through some natural disasters that involved power loss for extended periods of time. So this is some kind of general advice.

If you own your home and you haven't already, do an energy audit [0]. Pay especially close attention to window and door seals. These wear out over time. You can lose a surprising amount of heat through these, and they are very inexpensive to fix. If you have ducted HVAC, check the ducts for leaks as well. Adding additional insulation if possible will also help.

Figure out what your biggest energy sinks are. In most homes the HVAC is the biggest power draw. After that you're looking at major appliances like stoves, washers and dryers, refrigerators, water heater and the like. If you can replace these with more energy efficient versions, it may be worth considering. For ones you can't, figure out ways to use them less.

Close off areas you aren't using. If you have rooms in your home/apartment that are largely unoccupied or only occasionally occupied (like a home office), close them off and consolidate into fewer rooms. If it gets especially cold, close the vents if you have ducted HVAC, seal the doors with tape and put a blanket at the bottom of the door. This will help further seal the heat into the occupied areas. But be careful that you don't cause pipes to freeze by doing this.

Stock up on foods you don't need power to cook. Shelf-stable canned goods are a good bet. It won't be gourmet, but it will keep you alive. If you are in an area that stays suitably cold throughout the winter you could use a cooler outside for food storage instead of a refrigerator.

If you have alternative means of heating (like a fireplace) go ahead and prepare to start using that a lot more. Get supplies like firewood or pellets now and, if possible, be sure you have enough to last you through the winter with increased usage. Find the lowest temperature you can tolerate at home, even if that means you may have to wear a light coat inside.

Monitor your usage regularly. If your utility provides realtime or near realtime usage information, find that now and get in the habit of checking it often. If not, figure out how to read your meter and check it at least daily.

And finally, just try to find ways to not be at home. If you can go work in an office or even a coffee shop, that's a few hours you won't have to keep your home as warm. Try to make your home just for sleeping and adjust the temperature in the home when you are away accordingly. Having a programmable/remote thermostat helps here.

The Grim Secret of Nordic Happiness: Reasonable Expectations
I have found that noise can "get to me" sometimes as well, and I recently tried Loops brand earplugs on a recommendation from a friend. I recommend them as they are comfortable, effective, and come with 5 sizes of tips to ensure you get a good fit. They also come in a tiny travel case that I keep on my car keys.

https://us.loopearplugs.com/pages/quiz

There are two dampening levels and I recommend you try the very quiet one, maybe purchase them through Amazon so that you can return them if they don't work for you. Additionally I haven't found any noticeable difference between the metal and plastic variants; the plastic ones are fine and a bit cheaper!

Hope this helps.
The profit motive is being blamed here for optimizing for engagement.

But how do you assess progress when you remove all desire to monetize?

I run r/WallStreetBets and "quality" is an extremely nebulous term.

I look for things like "novelty", "thought-provoking / well reasoned commentary", "original content", "authenticity", "self-awareness" or "primary research". But these are human assessed metrics.

Some more easily measurable metrics might include, "length of submissions", or "number of outbound links excluding blacklisted domains". Or even "number of tickers or quality-correlated keywords mentioned".

All these metrics have very clear downsides, and if generally well-known, become useless. Interestingly, a score too high can also result in something being unlikely to be authentic.

Another challenge is your relationship with users. Surprisingly, moderators are not innately adversarial to users, they can also promote content through other channels (discord, twitter) or sticky threads for a viewership boost.

So, even without a profit motive, what do you do?
Maybe iMessage? A phone that can always, 100% of the time get messages out would literally be a lifesaver.

Jonas Galvez: On Joining NodeSource
It's interesting watching the difference in how transit is treated by officials between NYC (where I lived last year) and Berlin (where I live this year).

In NYC, we're ramping up enforcement and cracking down on fare jumping.
In Berlin, it's the opposite-- less fare-enforcement and more subsidies for people to take the train.
I really have a hard time seeing how NYC's strategy could be more effective. It's not even like it's cheap.
It's a bit frustrating to see that sunset clauses for laws trying something controversial aren't more common. What we're seeing right now (everyone debating whether this was good or not) is what I'd have wanted to see for most/all surveillance laws.

I'm hoping they find something reasonable to follow up; for what it costs it really left a huge impression on everyone I've been talking to, quite the flagship project.

You made a categorical statement, yet provided no reasonable argument to back it up, so please don't be upset if I'm inclined to not enthusiastically adopt your position.

I've spent much of my life listening to what people say various things can't be done. And then either seeing people do what was "impossible" or, in a few cases, participating in doing what other people said couldn't be done. It is the same kind of mental pitfall that magicians exploit: the audience fail to imagine the amount of effort that can be brought to bear and hence make assumptions about what is possible within a scope that wasn't as limited as they thought.

It doesn't happen often, but it happens often enough that I'm disinclined to dismiss possibilities before they have been properly explored.

I'm not saying fission can be accelerated to, say, a sub decade path to realization. I'm saying that categorically stating this timetable can't be accelerated is a bit premature before anyone has made a serious attempt.

So what do I mean by "serious attempt"?

If you look at investment in fission over the past decade, in my book that qualifies as the world not having made a serious attempt. The level of investment needs to be perhaps on the order of 2-3 magnitudes higher for it to be a "serious attempt". And it doesn't have to be a null sum game in the sense that it would all have to come from reallocating investments from other energy sectors - it could be that we allocate more resources to the energy sector.
The catch here is that real users also make recommendations. I recommend things on reddit all the time, and I'm not some nefarious marketer.

I've also had a lot of good stuff recommended to me on reddit over the years. If that was by a marketer, then frankly, the best marketing in the world is "hire subject matter experts to go into amateur forums and recommend good solutions for them" because that's what it feels like I'm getting on a lot of good nitty gritty subreddits.
Alright then, we agree.
I have a batch file I wrote and use Task Scheduler in Windows to run it every night. I scan all of my favorite youtube channels for content and download any new videos. I also download the subtitle files, which I combine into a master text file for each channel, so that if I want to find a particular video later from something that was said in a video, I can search the master file and find the video where they said it. Took me a couple of hours to set it up and get everything working, but I love it.

I also just grab a whole channel if I come across something new using yt-dlp, because everything that is there is ephemeral and will disappear at any time.
I love and agree with this article, but I do want to defend the Pomodoro method. In brief, if you already don't enjoy what you are doing for work, applying a new time management strategy to that work will not increase your enjoyment. However, I have personally thrived using the Pomodoro method to help keep myself on track and hitting goals for the work I do enjoy. In this light, moreover, I don't think the analogy to a diet makes much sense.

Still, overall an insightful and much-needed statement on one problem with the times we live in. I especially loved this line:

> These students inevitably end up as consultants or bankers or managers at tech companies, industries that richly reward people who are willing to work very hard for no particular reason.
Yes.

I was inspired by this email and wrote a blog post about creativity: https://bower.sh/what-is-creativity

> To give users greater visibility and control over how extensions use and share their data, we’re moving to an extensions model that makes more permissions optional and allows users to withhold sensitive permissions at install time. Long-term, extension developers should expect users to opt in or out of permissions at any time.

> For extensions that currently require passive access to web activity, we’re introducing and continuing to iterate on new functionality that allows developers to deliver these use cases while preserving user privacy. For example, our new declarativeNetRequest API is designed to be a privacy-preserving method for extensions to block network requests without needing access to sensitive data.

> The declarativeNetRequest API is an example of how Chrome is working to enable extensions, including ad blockers, to continue delivering their core functionality without requiring the extension to have access to potentially sensitive user data. This will allow many of the powerful extensions in our ecosystem to continue to provide a seamless user experience while still respecting user privacy.

Basically, Chrome is hoping to use the same psychological effect as Apple's "Ad Tracking Transparency" (the opt-in screen for cross-app tracking) to make people opt-in for "read/write data on all sites" permission, to try to transition the amount of adblockers with that permission from 100% (currently) to ~20% (the amount of people who opt-in to tracking on iOS) by scaring users about extension permissions.
> Reddit was the last place for online product discussions, that wasn't crawling with affiliate links and astroturfing.

No, it's had rampant astroturfing for years now - you just haven't noticed. Reddit was never going to be a good product recommendation place, because there's no (1) verified purchase mechanism (2) web of trust mechanism or (3) gatekeeping into who could enter - and without those things, there's simply no way to prevent astroturfing/influence operations - and the same applies to HN.
1 bit/second is enough to save someone’s life in an emergency.
Not a lot really. I've arranged so machines I left running 24/7 previously are off a lot of the time and that I can power them on remotely if needed. One of those boxes used to host backups, those have moved to a single SSD (lower power) in the low-power box that acts as my router and the external copies are still on RAIDed drives. One of the things powered off is the media array (its RAIDed volume is where those backups lived, they still do but are only updated when it is on obviously). I've toyed with the idea of moving more out external hosts, but with their prices going up too and announcements that for the next while UK residential fuel prices will be capped I need to find a little time to run some calculations to see if that would save anything and if that anything is enough to be worth the hassle. I might have the heating on less (mainly by setting the thermostat defaults lower, partly by hitting the boost button less) over winter.

Maybe I'll finally replace the old oven. Partly because a new one might be more efficient, though mainly because I've been thinking of doing that for ages as it is ancient and possibly on its last legs.

Might get the gas fire that hasn't been turned on for years serviced, so I can heat just the living room at times instead of the whole flat via central heating, though without taking time to work out the maths I don't know if that is likely to make much difference to a small place like mine.

Though I do really have to do much, having the luxury of being comfortable enough that the extra cost is only an irritation, not a life changing problem that it might be for people who are struggling financially already, and my place is pretty well insulated.

"Hemp twice as effective at capturing carbon as trees, UK researcher says" (2021) https://hempindustrydaily.com/hemp-twice-as-effective-at-cap... :

> “Industrial hemp absorbs between 8 to 15 tonnes of CO2 per hectare (3 to 6 tonnes per acre) of cultivation.”

> Comparatively, forests capture 2 to 6 tonnes of carbon per hectare (0.8 to 2.4 tonnes per acre), depending on the region, number of years of growth, type of trees and other factors, Shah said.

> Shah, who studies engineered wood, bamboo, natural fiber composites and hemp [at Cambridge, UK], said hemp “offers an incredible scope to grow a better future” while producing fewer emissions than conventional crops and more usable fibers per hectare than forestry.

Hard to scale, but farming out content samples to a panel of your target market for them to rate on the attributes of "novelty", "thought-provoking / well reasoned commentary", "original content", "authenticity", "self-awareness" or "primary research" might be an approach

Part of the issue is that Zig is in a near category to Rust, and its areas of focus are more restricted as opposed to other general purpose and convenient to use languages. Rust already has major corporate backers and much more established popularity in the media. It can easily be seen how it can just simply overwhelm Zig, and particularly by emphasizing safety. Even if those very knowledgeable about the subject can argue to what degree safety should be the issue or is relevant with a particular project, Rust already has the hype and reputation behind it as being "safer".

Zig has to make stronger and more compelling arguments as to why people should use it, instead of just reaching for Rust.
> If you read what he wrote, your question is answered already.

You are right; I missed "that we know". That is entirely my mistake. But then it seems to make gridspy's comment rather content-less.

If someone says "I always find it slightly amusing how there's remarkably few forms of power generation that don't eventually boil down to "use water/air/steam to make a turbine spin".", then what does saying "it's just because that is the most efficient way we know" contribute? The 'because' suggests some justification, but it appears just to be re-stating what it's justifying. A re-statement can be valuable, but combining it with 'just' seems to be dismissing an observation that I, at least, found interesting enough not to dismiss, even if it is 'just' a description of existing facts.

Thank all that is holy that innovations like email came from government and academia, and were designed for federated interoperability from day 1.

I still remember all the adulation for Steve Jobs' "open letter to Flash". Only a few voices at the time warned that his criticisms were motivated more by Apple's need to position the App Store as a walled garden for entertainment that did not have to compete with free Flash game websites and Flash video streaming sites.

I hate to point to Google, but they have a format that allows prompting in Chrome whether to associate mailto to that webapp. Microsoft/Outlook.com/Hotmail doesn't prompt for it (and apparently there's no way short of JS-whipping that will just accept mailto if you want to do it manually), but I have seen Yahoo prompting for that.
That's what I was expecting also.
