downvotes cause you to be essentially a lite-shadow ban if they happen enough, especially if in a flagged thread/comment. You get rate limited, which means only 5 comments per day allowed. Max.

So, sorry, but while I didn't downvote you, I do disagree with you; entirely. Validly.

That's a sign that your account is rate-limited. We rate limit accounts when they repeatedly get involved in flamewars or regularly break the site guidelines or post lots of low-quality (for HN) comments. It's a crude tool but one of the few we have to prevent such things from overrunning the site.

The thread also has interesting discussions on other mod tools: shadowbanning, IP bans, and the like.

Apparently the way to un-rate-limit an account is to send in an email and mention that you will "stick to civil, substantive comments that scrupulously follow" https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. Some amount of convincing prostration may be required, as a sort of high-level turing test. There does not seem to be a way to do this while not giving away your email address (which was not required at signup).

The moderator mentioned something about repeated, human-written warnings before rate-limiting, but this does not seem to be the case now (2020) - rate limiting seems to be a milder, less-known variant of the shadowban.

Python's ease of calling C libraries is both the blessing and a curse.

My opinion is that it's mostly a curse, since you are hampering the language's evolution and growth for a mere temporary benefit.

Not to mention the horror of distributing compiled libraries, which is one of the biggest reasons why packaging in Python is still such a nightmare.

Making CPython faster by getting rid of the GIL will do wonders for this language and it's community. It will make it much more portable, too. Think of Java-level portability, but in a much nicer package.

Yes! That is how I originally arrived to it. I have had similar experiences to yours where reducing the impact of the images generally improves my browsing experience. Even in a dark environment, the 50% brightness filter that I use makes the images barely visible. I've found that I enjoy the internet better this way as you have suggested.

When I was at a FAANG, it felt like they had this down to a science. Promotions every 2-3 years. Raises once a year, a few spot bonuses throughout the year, ad hoc equity grants. People still quit of course, but looking back it felt very retention focused and scientific.

A roguelike prominently and predominantly features some combination of most of the following:

1) Run based (re)play, typically starting from a weak state and moving into a strong state. Then restarting at that weak state many times.

2) Randomization of the run in upgrades, powers, environment, or choices. Thinking on your feet and dealing with the random. Typically, environmental randomization is necessary.

3) Permanent death within a run. No save scumming - if you die in a run you'll have to start another run

4) Some sort of meta progression, whether that's a home base the player returns to, or just the increased knowledge of game systems (like in Nethack)

5) A community consensus that the game is a roguelike.

6) Emergent gameplay from multiple overlapping systems, often interacting in unexpected ways

7) Exploration or selecting paths through an environment where progress in the game usually requires leaving familiar areas and entering unfamiliar ones

So rogue and Nethack meet all of those, absolutely. But so does Hades and Spelunky and binding of Isaac and Hades and FTL. Some games have roguelike elements, but are probably not roguelikes, say Inscryption.

I think my gripe with atheism is that (in my opinion) it’s a shack built up against a building that needs to be torn down. I know that’s not how it is: religions exist regardless of how none of them can provide a proof to base their claims. But atheism doesn’t exist without somebody being theistic. That just seems so, so odd. For instance, nobody can be Aflarglethnackist, because flarglethnacks are extremely undefined, because I just invented the word out of thin air (AFAIK).

In a perfect world, the only way humans would bother to answer the question “How did my consciousness get here? What will happen to my consciousness when I die?” is by replying “we really don’t know.” That is agnosticism to me.

And so agnosticism seems so perfectly correct in its approach that it seems silly to bother tossing in atheism to make it more specific to contrast against an implicitly misguided concept at its core (theism). If you’re agnostic, whether the ‘reality’ is that it’s gods or flarglethnacks or an endless sea of paperclips waiting for you on the other side, it hardly makes a difference whether you’re “atheist”.

But I get that I’m wishing, and that’s not how things are, agnosticism applied in the context of a world where religions matter, and thus the words have different meaning than I intend.

FWIW I tried Stage Manager in Ventura and was surprised by how much I like it. I prefer to keep background windows clickable, and Stage Manager gives me that for free, except they don't get "lost" as easily. The animations are slick too (try it with Exposé!). I'll likely keep it enabled.

Settings has some issues but isn't as bad as I was led to believe from the pre-release hand-wringing.

There are different systems. The more critical system in the USA, WEA is a mandatory (FCC rules) central system that most consumer devices and consumer networks take part in. The "last mile" technology varies by network type and version.

The GSM lineage (including 4G, LTE, 5G) is implemented using cell broadcast which is a protocol data unit that solves for the one to many problem. Extensions added geo-fencing & geo-targeting on the client devices (device compares its idea of location to the incoming message), and also cell based routing optimizations network side. The cell broadcast part is technologically available ~everywhere as a result of broad GSM deployment, but whether it is integrated into an alert system is a jurisdiction issue. Sadly few countries (in the global scope) have the kind of power of the US or the EU to gain access to things like extended on device features.

The app based systems are largely based on some form of location reporting and push messages which are far less reliable - one to one messaging systems (like Apple/Google push notifications) are physically impossible to scale for real time sub-second alerting in dense populations, given the bandwidth constraints of radio.

CB is expensive at the radio tower, and can disrupt normal communications (potentially including emergency services communications) as such it's use is more limited than other solutions, for example in todays event it was only used in an area of about a 25km radius. To put this in some context, many folks commenting here, including myself still in the "felt it" areas were within a ~90km radius (SF is about 85km away from the center).

Zig is not the first new language I try. I was an excited early adopted of a lot of many languages including D, Go, Rust and TypeScript. At no point to I remember running into miscompilations on rather fundamental issues and so quickly.

Somewhat misleading headline; this is just the author's belief:

My belief is that the Mac Pro will be offered with options for 24 and 48 CPU cores and 76 and 152 graphics cores—along with up to 256 gigabytes of memory.

based on what Apple is currently testing in-house:

> In fact, I can share one configuration of the Mac Pro in active testing within Apple: 24 CPU cores (16 performance and 8 efficiency cores), 76 graphics cores and 192 gigabytes of memory. That particular machine is running macOS Ventura 13.3. Ventura 13.0, the first version of the new macOS, is launching Monday.

Thank you for posting this. I have been on the anti-thread bandwagon for a long time, but something about your post really opened my eyes and convinced me to stop being so stubborn.

This is definitely the opposite of what most of my employers have done. Gotten denied raises countless times which has forced me to find new employment to advance my career while they are 100% focused on hiring new talent. Lots of turnover which cost the companies a tremendous amount of time constantly bringing new hires up to speed.

It's not personal, but I've seen similar comments all the way down this thread. This is not what unintuitive means! What you mean is that you are used to using Explorer and Finder follows different paradigms that you're not used to and thus confused. And that's OK! What it isn't is "unintuitive"; it's "different".
Why do you believe it's impossible for a 'core accounting metric' to be funky?

Just because something is widely used doesn't mean it's guaranteed to be actually correct or reflect reality.

For example:
It never makes sense to exclude depreciation for anything physical without adding back on some cost of wear-and-tear, since everything physical suffers wear and tear. I've never seen this happen in reports with EBITDA figures, nor in this report.

i.e. They're effectively presenting 'profit' figures that exclude some amount of real, tangible, losses. So it's really only a pseudo-profit, which is why there's a separate 'Net Profit' figure in every SEC compliant report.
> Not more complicated in the sense of "more code;" more complicated in the sense of "harder to use." You had said "win/win" and I disagree that making apps bigger, clunkier, and slower by requiring more server-side negotiation would make them better for end-users.

People always say that, yet every time I encounter an app that doesn't use JS navigation, it always feels faster and smoother...

And as for them being bigger and clunkier, in almost all cases I've experienced, the frontend code is by far the clunkier and bigger of the two. But maybe it's because I use Ruby and other backend languages are less generous in their accommodations.

> The hard-coded behavior of the browser doesn't always match the user's concept of what has happened when performance optimizations are added in.

Eliminating JS navigation doesn't mean eliminating JS. You'd still be asynchronously modifying backend state and browser state on a single page, you're just not using it to change pages.

> For example: for performance reasons, many web apps are logically divided into sections. Navigating between sections doesn't unload the current page, it retains it and context-switches to another page. This is done for several reasons (the main ones being performance and flicker-stoppage, so users aren't hit with a screen-blank navigating from one section to another). This trick is often accompliahed by being very creative with the routing so the user's experience is as if they are navigating around to different pages on a site (while in reality, a page navigation never occurs). console.cloud.google.com is an example of a site that works this way. AWS console does too; look closely while navigating around AWS and one will observe that the URL looks like https://us-east-2.console.aws.amazon.com/cloudformation/home..., i.e. the sub-panel is encoded locally in the fragment instead of up in the resource name, and going from subpanel to subpanel changes the fragment and pushes entries into history.

Do you have a study that demonstrates the impact of this website organization with JS navigation and without JS navigation? There's a lot of talk about this being more performant and eliminating flicker, but are those real problems? Does HN flicker for you when you move across pages? I've heard these reasons a hundred times, but rarely see evidence that they hold up under scrutiny. Usually it's an after-the-fact justification rather than an upfront necessity.

> Writing the app will be more complicated if the back button navigates the user entirely off of console.cloud.google.com instead of taking them to the previous pane they had open.

I feel like this answer is almost intentionally forgetting that URI paths exist without JS. Am I missing something in your answer that explains why they are insufficient?

When I built the Q Platform originally, I put so much work into it, but showing it to people I mostly got one piece of feedback without them even looking: "it's called Q... and there is a library for promises called Q that is way more popular. Rename yours."

I tried to explain that it was a completely different field, and that this was a web development framework. And that we had started ours way before this library for promises. But people told me I was foolish, and refused to look at it. I think it was here on HN somewhere around 2012 or so.

Well, promises are now native in browsers and no one remembers the Q library. But I did rename our library to "Qbix". I wish though that I hadn't listened to them... things come and go, just do name it what you like!
Oh, I've quit 3 companies where I was the CTO/lead engineer where they had to replace me with 5-10 people (backend and frontend devs, QA, devops, plus a manager or two, etc.) costing them enormous amounts of money.

Many times they've hired me as a consultant where I make 5-10x my hourly rate for several months after bringing the new hires up to speed.

Companies place very little emphasis on retention and retaining institutional knowledge. They don't seem to understand that employees who have worked at a company for years developing systems and architecture know where all of the secrets are.
Thanks for that.

A related note is for any requirements files. Something like this bit me the other day.
