But the original comment wasn’t asserting anything like this, it’s asking for the aspects of gig economy jobs that make it coercive or exploitative in light of the consent of its workers.

The onus is on the person connecting that to indentured servitude to explain why that connection is apt. Otherwise it’s a useless connection.

Transpilation has historically made source-level debugging more difficult. That's such a huge advantage to have a language that you can actually debug, and this is clearly make it even harder. I feel this is very developer-hostile.
Yup, just slowly let them get to the inevitable conclusion that they are wrong and give them a rope to get out from being wrong while keeping face.
Yeah .. sadly that is true in majority of workplaces.

The right boss will keep their ego in check and ask: “what do you think? Do have any reservations?” It is also desirable to argue about something: back and forth “but what about this”.

But you will need to find boss and place like that. Not very common
Presumably the Ad package has a list of known derivatives. The Sym package now "automatically" uses it, without ever having to have known of it.

The "coordination" is that they both use the "symbol" sin to refer to the idea of sine function.
Thank you, I can sleep in peace now.
Server push doesn't let a server spontaneously communicate with a client like a socket does. It's purely an optimization to let the server include in a response to the client extra resources for the client to cache for later, possibly making it so the client doesn't have to request them later. If server push doesn't happen, then it just means the client might not have certain resources pre-cached and will have to request them later.
There's an article that's been floating around that notes this phenomenon started after Nolan's movies became the style to emulate, and there are various sound engineers who state they would like to do what you want but they have to produce what the paying entity asks for. Someone should feel free to link it here - I'm mobile at the moment so can't dig it up.

But anyway, I just wanted to jump in and say... all the time on this site we see programmers complaining about management/etc forcing things to happen that you don't want happening. Sound engineers may be in a similar boat here. ;P
Has the "1st amendment right to choose which letters to publish" in a newspaper ever been tested in a court? Or could it also be challenged by the same kind of legislation, if it didn't apply only to "social media companies with at least 50 million monthly active users"?

Hey HN,

I built randomneo.city since people didn't like my comment on the randomgeo.city post[0]. Clearly I don't take downvotes well.

That said, the code is powered by SvelteKit, SQLite and open source:

https://gitlab.com/mrman/randomneocity

I have to say, I'm really starting to like building everything with SvelteKit -- I'm a huge 3-tier architecture fan, and it just doesn't make sense these days to add an API repo for most small projects now. Node + TS + SvelteKit does most (to be fair, so would Nuxt or Next). It's been a fantastically productive stack for me.

Things I still need to do:

- Add automatic scraping of neocities' sites so the site can stay up to date

- Filter out sites which aren't done (they all have the same text)

- Add chat/social features (???)

This was also a great chance to try out Just[1] which strives to replace make[2] -- it's been nice!

In classic distracted style I use just[3], make with good defaults[4][5] and my usual flavor of makefile[6][7] in the repo.

As a closed caption user, I partially use it to try and improve my vocabulary. On the fly, it’s very easy to hear a word like “hoi polloi” and not know how to spell it. In that case, that’s a missed learning opportunity.

Also, closed captions make watching TV on mute seamless and that’s fantastic if you like to intersperse your viewing with conversation.
The internet infrastructure is completely controlled via local monopolies and bureaucracies, and this extends beyond ISPs. The entire DNS and PKI system for example is simply a racketeering scheme for registrars and CAs. In general the internet (from the hardware to application-level) is structured in such a way that is weak to sybil attacks, and this requires central (usually corporate) entities to discriminate on traffic.

EMail is one such example: there is no meaningful way to filter spam, so the peering relationships between mail providers break down unless they each implement some sybil-proofing on their own side. The end product is that everyone is forced to use a provider like Google, and play a corporate-political game to stay in good favor with their peers. This is because there is no spam-resistance on Email application level

We've seen a similar situation this week with a controversial forum called KiwiFarm taken down by DDoS. They need to maintain a political relationship with their DDoS-protection provider, CloudFlare, who also controls a massive chunk of the internet infrastructure. This is all so that there can be a central entity that discriminates on the traffic, as there's no spam resistance features on IP level.

>To me it seems closed-caption usage is correlated with actually paying attention to television consumption.

The alternative is that the new generation has no ability to focus on anything and needs the same information piped to their brain through both their eyes and ears. Up next: smellovision captions.
C is overcomplicated and all really hardcore engineers that I've met either write assembler or carve binary machine code into stone blocks with their bare teeth at moonlight.
Yeah nobody uses that. Payments is super easy to integrate because of UPI but otherwise no one is going to shop on WhatsApp and if WhatsApp gets significantly bloated people will simply move on to TG etc.
> It's heavily misleading.

Most people think this is obvious. I'm still wondering why it hasn't been corrected. Instead, it got yanked.
Sorry, I confused truth social with another website called gab.

In any case they are simply mastodon forks, are they not? I can't see why it would require massive funding. I don't think the failure of truth social speaks to the failure of "splinter" forums at large.
After looking at the linked images, I am terribly underwhelmed by the project. The only significant thing about the work is its size and honestly who cares?

> which only applies to the government

Which only applies to the Federal government. States have had rules about speech since forever.

Texas wants platforms with > 50M users to treat political speech equally. That's well within a State's right to acquire that protection for its citizens.

Other states can choose different rules, or to leave their citizens with less rights, it's up to them.

Doesn't Wikipedia fall under the definition of a social media site with over 50M monthly users?
One cause of this is sending 5.1 audio through two speakers, where the center channel just gets dropped along with a lot of dialog. Another cause is of course crappy mixing.
All of the companies I've personally worked at ban Grammarly for that reason. Some enforce it better (managed policies) than others (a wiki page no one bothers to check)

What are "elevated privileges"? If I lose my laptop and it's locked, can someone execute arbitrary code with this?
I had the opposite experience watching a vampire film called 30 Days of Night! For whatever reason my DVD player didn’t show any subtitles, even the translation from the Aramaic spoken by the vampires. So, I got to watch a bunch of undead growl unintelligibly at each other throughout the movie. It actually improved the experience because not knowing what they were saying made it so much creeper!
>It's a flaw in the way people have been taught to write and analyze writing.

You can inspect the source code of the published version. Doesn't mean what is running on the server is identical and not modified. So I'm not sure it adds trust. Trust it is bug free maybe but not trust no one is doing something underhanded.
Sounds like most European bank branches are 'light' branches then.
> An unbiased algorithm is impossible.

False. Twitter's original algorithm (everyone you followed in reverse insertion order) is trivially unbiased.

The bias creeps in when they analyze the content of the speech (or who specifically likes it or…). You can 100% do an unbiased algorithmic feed that re-orders (or omits) things.

Twitter and Facebook could do it today. They shadow ban and suppress all sorts of things (beyond kicking actual human users off the site).

I see this more in the same vein as Slenderman or The Backrooms - no one is taking this seriously, it's just the right mix of creepy and expansive that makes it perfect for the internet to iterate on.
> they can drive only for Uber and nothing else

Is this really the case? Because every gig driver I rode with effectively worked for all locally available gigs at once.
Not at all. If there were billions of dollars worth of whatever on the bottom of the Mariana trench, people would build advanced technology to extract these billions, without any further incentives than the market demand.

A comparable case in point: commercial space launch companies. Arguably, commercial large-scale aviation, too.
The steps size is too low.
> people aren't leaving due to lack of features.

It's not its lack of features that people are leaving, it's that the rest of the Internet 'gained' features, specifically Facebook, Reddit, and Discord, and they consume more of every potential user's attention.

Your tone is a little smug here. If I’m paying attention to something I’m watching on TV, I can hear the dialogue. I want to be able to actually watch the performances of the actors, or whatever else is on the screen, instead of reading captions.

> which is why it took 20 years of further research to go from Lisp 1 to Scheme.

Actually it only took Peter Landin a few years. For example see:

P. J. Landin, The Mechanical Evaluation of Expressions, The Computer Journal, Volume 6, Issue 4, January 1964, Pages 308–320, https://doi.org/10.1093/comjnl/6.4.308
This is a good way of summing up the effect. Although power also has the ability to screw up quickly unchecked, because they can bulldoze badly thought through ideas into action.
> Supercomposite’s original description of her as a “devastated-looking older woman” betray a faint penumbra of the unquestionable ageism, sexism, and repro-normativity rooted in a culture that has basically always discriminated against women, and is most recently attempting to return uterus-bearing members of society to a forced-birth state.

Is this really an article about AI art?
If you read Twitter's SEC filings even if what you say is true, there is still a huge burden to prove that they committed fraud.
I think the argument is that "good faith" necessarily doesn't hold when you allow one group of people to post threats, harassing content, and misinformation while you ban another group from doing the same thing. In other words, selective enforcement to favor your friends doesn't seem to be particularly good faith. I'll leave you to decide which platforms to investigate and to find selective enforcement: all of them do it.

To be clear, I don't agree with those interpretations of section 230 - and neither do many judges.
There should be advice for the more powerful person. Maybe they don't think they need advice? After all - they made it. They are the smarter one right! But that is incorrect - their ego is probably costing them.

By default, they should make it super easy for anyone to disagree. Beyond that they should make it so there are very few instances where there needs to be a discussion like that. Because they have properly delegated authority and trust to teams to get stuff done.

When the powerful person things the team has done it wrong, ideally, they should pop in and say, "let me understand what you are doing and why". In other words: the powerful person should adopt the role of the humble person, following the advice of that article.

In this way you won't kill good ideas, you won't kill important whistle blows (of the "this would lead to a fuckup" type, as well as the "this is illegal" type), and frustrated good people won't silent quit or loud quit.
What's the point of typing out such a shallow dismissal? Are you into large-scale sculptural art? Would you know how to judge such a piece of art in general? If it's about the size, have you seen it in person to know the effect it has on you? It's called City. Did you consider the implications of that? Maybe the emptiness of it is the point?

This is like a "modern art bad" reddit comment.
I can already imagine how these totally neutral "providers" like Google and Twitter would implement this, much like Microsoft abuses their OS monopoly to ensure 90% of non-tech-savvy users will eventually be using Edge.

Sign up for Twitter. Immediately you're greeted with a list of "suggested filters" that will pop up again and again, using dark patterns eventually, until you either give in or are tricked into adding Twitter's highly recommended "safe filter plus package" that uses the exact same shadow bans and biased algorithms used by default today.

I've noticed that HN tries to fight this by putting new comments at the top for some users, in order to see if a particular comment would garner upvotes if it were also posted earlier.
Christopher Nolan is one of the biggest offenders in this regard, often having barely audible dialog drowned out by music or background noise by stylistic choice. I understand the intent is to let it wash over you but I can’t help but struggle to understand and it ends up just making me feel frustrated and taking me out of the film.

With television you turn it on and there are a few mediocre choices you can tune out. On streaming platforms you have to specifically select a program to watch. When Gen Z watches/listens to something in the background it's much more likely to be a long YouTube video or a podcast.
Is there anything controversial with WebTransport? I don't understand where you're coming from.
One reason neither the article nor the comments here are mentioning: lots of videos are now designed to be Content in an Endless Feed, and are made with the intent of capturing your interest even if you're sitting there with your phone muted. Text floating on the screen increases the chance of making you stop scrolling and rack up that precious view count.
The direction of whatsapp was really really biased and strong towards being as simple as possible and useful as a messaging medium. It worked out pretty well fwiw. Who uses wechat besides Chinese people?
i dont know what the number should be. but when it comes to supporting dependents, i would say that we as a society do not have an obligation to make every job - no matter how trivial/approachable/unnecessary - sufficient for the task.
Extreme temperatures fuel online hate speech
The solution is an individual's freedom of association. Something more intuitive than the block function or setting account to private, would be nice though.
Just for reference: if you need Subtitles on an OLED, e.g. on Netflix you can set the subtitles to grey (only in the Web app, but is used on all other apps). Had that same problem with the OLED
The slurred dialog is obnoxious and a sign of laziness on everyone's part. The miking, the post processing, the overdubbing (if there's any at all - recent film makers don't seem to know that this is a thing). The actor's speech pattern, where they direct their speech while acting, even how they stand and where. The choice of location and additional preparation of the stage so the speech can be picked up clearly.

It's not your hearing, it's the mix. Source: I'm a mastering engineer with a monitoring setup worth six figures and I use closed captions too.

Speakers in TVs used to be tailored to making speech intelligible. Nowadays it's... well whatever it is, it's not really meant to do anything. Not even the more high-end popular speaker systems are meant to do anything at all, really. They all just kinda sorta make whatever is coming out of them sound flashy and whooshy. That's another reason why movies are even more difficult to understand.

And let's be honest - a lot of it nowadays is just not _worth_ hearing... Staple tv shows form the 70s that fell into obscurity for being extremely pedestrian had better writing than nearly all big-budget movies nowadays. I remember when Pig came out recently, it was the only good movie during a span of maybe 3 months. That's how dire it is nowadays.

you can easily prevent that kind of oversized influence by throttling bots, either by volume or frequency of messaging.
I mean -- you do get that the "idiots" are the target market, right? That's who you want to target as an advertiser, the people who aren't thinking critically like this.

FogBugz got bought out by a vulture capital style firm that fired everyone and outsourced everything. They're going to extract as much value as they can. The reputation doesn't matter if they can sucker enough people into paying for it.
It gets worse than that. They change mechanics with updates and DLC. So all the work I took to learn EU4 was gone in two DLCs. I don't know what the estates are, and I no longer care, because it would be far too much work to figure out how the game plays now.
Your numbers are off.
I don't like replying to this type of comment, but I'd like to point out that you're replying to someone who likely grew up writing 6502 assembly (or the like). Furthermore, even mediocre engine programmers have an extremely good grasp of memory management et. al.

I also don't think they're arguing cxx98 is a good language, especially by today's standards.

The argument they're making is that the tact C++ has taken in more modern revisions is actually _worse_ than writing code the shitty 1998 way. At least for axes games care about.

You mentioned move semantics, which is a great example. For a lot of game/engine code, move semantics are just adding a pile of complexity for negligible gain. Ie. Why not just use a pointer?
Correct. Reverse mode seems much harder to express in Haskell..i was trying to understand AD some time ago and used Haskell for that (before running into Conal's paper). This way of writing forward AD was easy and it was awesome to see type inference and laziness help me with the understanding.
At that time, I tried to code up reverse mode AD and failed to do it with comparable simplicity.

IIRC rust statically links crates used by the application, so it might not just be the stdlib that is causing this.
Because the people that are clueless about business can easily price their service below even minimum wage and companies use it exactly for that reason

You get paid per service of moving people around, but might not be knowledgable enough to calculate deprecation and other stuff correctly.

More than that, any problem with the car is also on you, not on company car, so you'd have to budget for that too.

It's a way for company to shift the risk entirely to the lowest paid worker, including every risk involved with car itself.

It's even worse in say food delivery when the couriers are bidding for who can ship it the cheapest. You're essentially getting bidded out in race for bottom if there is enough competition, again going around minimum wage.

> 3) those people that willingly took those jobs are being taken advantage of

> What is the principal that justifies 3? People are not agents of free will, and any sub-utopic framework they have to participate in is immoral? Even if that's the case, I'd like to see the argument that those people who chose and choose to work at uber have worse outcomes than they otherwise would.

Because as society we decided letting capitalism exploit dumbasses willing to work for half-free is a bad thing. That's why we have minimum wages. That's why jobs like that should have unions. Because without body to represent them there always will be someone willing to do it for half free.
I think the actual Texas law states that after your a certain size you’re considered the commons and then yes, you cannot ban people based on beliefs. That doesn’t mean you have to promote them, so you can probably create a “only see if you follow this person” or something.
The number of people here who claim to hate moderation blows my mind.

If someone thinks far right content is reasonable and good it would be refreshing to hear that take.

Instead people bend themselves into logical pretzels to oppose the idea of moderation for supposedly “content neutral” reasons. It’s tiresome.
