Ask HN: Why do you hate (or love!?) your language's package manager?
We're getting ready to design a package manager for Rel, the declarative relational language we're building at RelationalAI (https://relational.ai/). I know that building a package manager is a fraught task, and that people have very strong feelings about their package managers.

Why do you hate yours? What mistakes should we take care to avoid?

Or if you're one of the lucky few blessed with happy package management, what is it you love about yours?
>Sex and gender are both significantly more complex than just chromosomes, genitalia, or organs.

Everyone reading this needs to look up John Money. The founding father of "sex and gender are different".
Not really, I don't blame a mechanical engineer working on flying cars at Alphabet for Google's surveillance. Doesn't make sense.
While I agree that the Bee should never have been banned, the answer to this problem is less censorship, not more. It sounds like you are calling for people who have different ideological views from you to be banned, but that is not how a healthy society should function.

There are already tools you can use on Twitter and other platforms to ignore content you don’t want to see (mute or block, for example). Banning someone should only be done in extreme circumstances like if someone is breaking the law or making literal calls to violence.
I have not seen a glider where it is physically possible to cross-connect the controls simply through the process of de-rigging and rigging (removing and replacing the wings and stabilizer, which is often done for transport or storage), though I imagine there were examples in the past. I have, however, seen ones where the controls can be left unconnected or even insecurely connected (though such designs now seem deprecated), in which case they may move in the correct direction on the ground, but fail to do so under load (and may flutter). On account of these possibilities, the visual inspection and pull/twist test of the connections, together with positive control checks (where someone holds the surface to provide resistance), as mentioned in the article you link to, should be SOP.
That's complete and utter nonsense.

Being "intolerant of the intolerant"? Does that include your own intolerance?

People are completely within their rights to be intolerant. Nothing gives you or the government the right to decide who/what I should like or want to associate with. Nothing gives you the right to persecute me for wrongthink.
You're incorrect. They include buttons for generating some markdown and a separate preview option but at the end of the day, people are writing markdown. I feel pretty certain that most people who use either of those tools regularly eventually learn the syntax and just type it out because it's faster
I use it with a couple tools like Rectangle which make it usable enough for me. Half the time I'm managing "windows" in Vim and tabs in the browser, and in those the OS doesn't really matter.

The thing that annoys me most is that there's no global shortcut for new terminal windows. It's possible with some weird hacks but never really reliable or fast.
You could probably get away with just bluetooth instead of a 5G modem since most people are already carrying around a 5G modem in their pocket.
Fair enough, I didn't know that. Thanks!
Interesting! I don't so much have an issue with support, but stability.

I'd be curious to know if you're connected at 1 or 2.5G, and if 2.5, how it does if held at that level for about a minute

An iperf3 test or two is usually enough to make it drop until I reboot

IMO it is just wasted effort. I applaud the person for trying to do right but unfortunately it will not achieve anything. For corruption to decrease you need government that is actively working to this end. Except Indian government is corrupt, too.

It isn't even going to prove any point or make the problem any more public. Because Indians are extremely well aware of the problem and they all know a lot of these stories from their own life.

Regular people will never get rid of corruption exactly because of the effect I mentioned -- because people self select themselves into government jobs. A government position is way more lucrative to a person that plans on being corrupt than to a person that plans to only live from the official salary.

It is like trying to explain to extremists (say Republican extremists, or nazi, or communist, etc.) why what they are doing is bad. You can reach individuals and even convince them to your point but then those individuals leave their extremist circles leaving those circles exactly as extremist as they were before.
Noticed this UI change today as well and it’s awful. Makes me feel less bad that I canceled premium and won’t be using YT anymore.
Twitter has allowed literal dictators, terrorists, and child pornographers on the platform. They allow calls for genocide, hate speech, and doxxing as long as it's targeting the "right" people.

Those who were most banned were their political opposition. This isn't even questionable. Undercover video proves it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TexDrY6AlAw

The idea that programmers have a poor theory of mind doesn't stand up at all in my experience.

I remember once seeing the inbox of someone working as a sales-ledger clerk. It was full of messages with the subject "accounts query", or a small variation of that. The ones with subjects like "query for account ACME-37" were from technical staff.

Similarly if I ask "when do you need those figures?" and I get the answer "next Wednesday", it isn't when I'm talking to programmers that I feel the need to follow up with "Is that when you want me to give them to you, or when you're going to be making the presentation that includes them?".
I used to cross the US border frequently and kept snarky passwords on my laptop and phone, dreaming of the day I’d get to answer honestly with apparent noncompliance or some remark about the ethics of warrantless searches. Alas, I don’t fall into the demographics they tend to prey on.
...domains and trademarks...are one of the most important assets any Free Software project has (if not the most important)...

This rubs me the wrong way. Surely the discussion history, documentation, and the freaking code are more important than the name.

I generally don't like open source becoming beholden to comercial interests, and I don't know enough about this story to know if that's really what is happening here. Reading that the name may be more important than the code is just very off-putting.
The most popular password managers (1Password, Bitwarden, Lastpass) have a web UI.
Initially, I was confused by what you meant by the word "community". Now that I see that you mean online community in the sense of an online forum, then yes, pushing the line may necessitate someone's removal. After all an online community is in almost every case hosted on private property.

However, there is a problem that mostly is evaded or goes unexamined with many of these arguments: Does a community (in the general sense of the word) have the right to actively police/censor the content of an individual or group of people on the Internet in their own community (such as in the case of Kiwifarms)?
I'd love to know where you got that PC for that price.

I just spent 20 minutes doing some searches in all the usual suspects (Amazon, eBay, AliXpress, and some online stores I can usually get good prices from) and the cheapest I found for the configuration you specified was around $400..

Mostly it seems to be the RAM that boosts the cost. For 8GB I can get it down to $260, but I've seen nothing even close to $180.

Edit: I see elsewhere in the thread it's a Beelink from Amazon. Around ~$237 is still the cheapest I can find..

Still a good price.
WAL is reliable, but Publish/Notify isn't. You'll lose messages with Publish/Notify if you aren't listening for them.
I'm the other way round: I _do_ use the recommendation engine, but I click "not interested" on anything that isn't a music video and make sure to only have music videos in my likes. Oh and of course adblock. Newpipe for mobile.

This works OK, although it tends to promote the same things over and over, seemingly at random.
Except both sides say the same things in different ways. The side that limits bigotry, racism, homophobia, and transphobia (as you say)... explicitly promotes bigotry against ideas they don't hold dear (alt-right, etc), racial prejudice, glorification of transgender and homosexual values.

I don't care what you practice, just don't shove it in my face and tell me to love it.
"no publicity is bad publicity"?

I'm also too lazy to set up really intricate contraptions so I just grab other people's blueprints and I glue everything together. That's basically what I do at my day job and my title has "engineer" in it so I'm just going to keep on pretending.
That sense of "neoliberal" is peculiar to American politics, as far as I can tell. I'd say it's more likely the blogger means a person who wants free trade, deregulation, etc.
Well, one less part on parts list assuming they are same length

> and how this wasn't an issue in manufacturing?

Manufacturing does same exact thing every single time in order and then someone checks it.

But this was something staff don't do often.
Yes, of course it will. Plenty of historical events have a group setting the initial culture or laws, then a dictator comes in and changes them. If another dictator comes in later and reverses them, that second person is still a dictator.

If Elon sells to, I dunno, Zizek, and sudden changes occur, of course I'd say the new leftist leaders were enforcing their personal ideology.

Is it so hard to believe that someone can be a leftist and not also critical of the left? A dictator is a dictator, and it's bad, no matter their ideology.
> In fact conservatives often go the length and argue against the very existence of transgender people, offering violence as a solution.

This is just factually incorrect.

Nobody denies people exist that identify as trans. Some people deny the identity is accurate, but no major conservatives are denying gender dysphoria is a thing. Are you seriously suggesting denying a self identity is denying the existence of that person?

Conservatives also are not calling for violence against trans people.

Please stop with this rhetoric. You are acting like the conservatives of your imagination that you are bashing.
You are correct that that is not the scientific definition of sugar, which is generally any 5 or 6 carbon ring molecule.

However when most people talk about sugar they are referring to table sugar, which is a molecule of glucose (a six carbon ring sugar) chemically bonded to a molecule of fructose (a 5-carbon ring sugar) - otherwise known as sucrose. The first thing your body does when it sees sucrose is split them into a molecule of glucose and a molecule of fructose (this happens in your small intestine). Glucose can be metabolized right away, in any cell, however fructose needs a bit more processing in the liver before cells can use it to generate ATP.
The top says this, which doesn't sound like a joke.

> The Internet is easily censored. The neo-liberals got their arses kicked. The big players like Google/Apple/AWS are partly to blame. China runs the GFI as a service.
By pure coincidence, I just visited Kunstmuseum today in The Hague that has a large Mandria(a)n exhibit, so the following is fresh on the mind.

It took Mandria(a)n 30 years of professional painting to arrive at his spaces and lines. He was already in his 50s by that time, and it ended up being enormously popular and influential.

Artists have to eat too. Why fix something that isn't broken?

At the same museum they had a gallery of Josef Albers. He painted concentric squares of different colors for the last 26 years of his life.
Seems like that would only help if the duration of the blast was less than 24 hours
I wonder why these are deleted now.
Were you aware that you can just copy/paste parts of your factory and have robots automatically build where you pasted? The blueprint system takes all the tedium out of the game.
I think I'm good forever.

I feel the same. Like: until USB of CF cards are phased out. I 'only' have a 40D, roughly same age, plus L lenses, always wanted a 5D or similar, but I just cannot honestly justify the cost beyond 'I want more' when seeing what picture quality I can get out of the current setup.
I’d say it’s pretty amazing. You can shoot very credible video and pics on a phone. And basically pro-level stuff using gear that’s incredibly cheap by historical standards. Lots of good inexpensive editors out there. You can even use Gimp and Blender which are IMO a bit rough relative to commercial options but I have colleagues who create amazing work with them.
> The web in general is moving in this direction at a fast pace

True, with an exception of Mastodon, PeerTube, Matrix and other distributed networks based on free software.

I disagree. Good product design is faithful and doesn't change every time someone does an A/B test
I frankly find it hard to believe the accusation of "gaslighting" is honest here (and the many other places it appears in this context) - sorry. You may find it disagreeable for political reasons that there are multiple colloquial definitions of the words "man" and "woman" (genetic, sexual identity, whatever), and you may disagree that she was implying we should hate or disrespect people for sex identity related stuff (and you may be right! I have no idea because the context of her post wasn't posted for some reason). But neither of those things are what you expressed. You're choosing to avoid them.
> If you can't handle it, there is Facebook for you.

And Twitter. Similarly if you don't like the filtered environment of these communities there is 4chan/8kun/etc. So then this is a solved problem and all the hand-wringing around the moderation on these platforms is unnecessary?
The Pi4 should cost $30. The entire point is it is cheap. But now with product scalpers jacking up prices, its just an bad purchase.
Because it's happened again and again on parler, gab, coat, etc.

People are so harsh over a button or a color these days.
On the other hand... OpenOffice vs. LibreOffice. Clearly the name was immensely valuable in that case.

The instances in the past probably caused the newer ones to make that impossible

Hidden Agenda https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden_Agenda_(1988_video_game... is worth a look if you are interested in the Cold War, but it is limited to the perspective of a (fictional) Central American country and has limited replayability.
I highly recommend Adam Curtis' documentary "The Mayfair Set" [1],
especially Part 2, detailing the lives of Jim Slater, Tiny Rowland and
James Goldsmith who pioneered the hostile takeover, and the effect of
acquisitions and mergers on the overall global economy. Hard to
imagine that only 50 years ago this wasn't a "done thing". Today I see
these same patterns play out in development and artistic communities
oblivious to 51 percent and Sybil attacks, unaware of who is holding
what key assets, and then being surprised by takeovers and defectors.

Nice try! I assume you're a distraught twitter user because this feels like an exchange that would happen there.
The biggest offender is Youtube Shorts at the top. With TikTok at least you can restrict your daily watch time and it is pure entertainment anyway - I don't have to open it when I don't want entertainment. Youtube is different because it has lots of useful stuff too and this mixture of the helpful and the addictive is pure evil. It is almost as if every food item in your life is served with a beer, a cigarette, some coke and some crack for free.

A bit OT, but I watch a lot of tutorials with many parts. Is there a good way to track which part I already watched?
Maybe, but many people in India's government do want it to be a place people come to do business, and publicly embarrassing them with how hard it is to make progress without bribes seems plausibly helpful.

Sounds more like an absence of ideology and the desire that diversity of opinion returns to the virtual town square.
Twitter used to have a very nasty problem of literal Nazis spamming black and Jewish accounts with hateful garbage. Those accounts still exist to some extent but are reduced to communicating amongst themselves in coded language.
America doesn't have a far left now and hasn't since the 60s. We have center right and authoritarian right.

If there was a meaningful far left presence, then people wouldn't have to worry about medical bankruptcy.
Thanks! I forget that's a thing, even though I have muscle memory to use the bang notation to search !npm
Matter of opinion.

I wouldn't deliberately misgender someone just to be a jerk, but the idea suite you're referencing was a niche viewpoint 7 years ago or so.

It's kind of incredible to go from there to "this is a settled mandatory philosophical viewpoint and disagreement is banished" in such a short time.
> If you want a non-trans equivalent, old racists used to insist on calling Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Muhammad Ali by names they had rejected to make a point about how little they thought of them.

exactly, so how is this any different? a black man legally changes his name because he considers his old name to be his "slave name", and almost every headline about him refuses to acknowledge this change. how is this different from Muhammad Ali?

> Unless he's transgender, he can't be deadnamed.

this is the crux of my question: why is "right to not be deadnamed" exclusively a trans "right"? what would make you think that?
Ahh yes the good ol' let me talk down on someone with their "elementary" level of knowledge is always a great way to start a "good faith discussion".

Agreed, but remember we likely see the universe with massive blind spots. Maybe given enough time, an aquatic specie would find a way to make tech, manipulate energy and develop society in ways that require a physic we know nothing about. Or maybe using something we know, but could not think of using that way because of our biases.

We are a very young civilization after all, the quantity of things we don't know is massive.
The only real discussion to be had is that you and I mean (very) different things when we use the word "woman".
> Author probably tried to pull a fast one onthe govt.

In what sense is the author trying to pull a fast one? They own agricultural land. It is legal to convert agricultural-use land to non-agricultural-use land. There is a legal procedure for doing so. The author is trying to follow the procedure. The procedure turns out to be very difficult, and they publicize this fact. Where is the 'fast one' being pulled and who is it being pulled on?
Are the moderation algorithms grokkable? There are probably a number of different layers, but I assume the real meat is just a bunch of obscure ML weighting.
Nice unit, I tried to buy similar as a home router using the Odroid $47 4 x 2.5G daughter board. Sadly the chip shortage killed the H2 plus off.

However there's now a zillion celeron+6x2.5G units out there cheap, see https://www.servethehome.com/category/networking/ for variants with N6005, i7-1165G7, N5095, and similar with 4 or 6 2.5G ports.

My hot take is that it's OK to mock senior government officials, actually.
Fully disagree. They publicly mocked a trans person, in clear violation of the TOS that all users agree to as a condition of use of the platform. They were then temporarily suspended, as clearly laid out in the TOS.

Twitter says "Hey, if X, then Y." Babylon Bee says "Yeah, ok." Babylon Bee does X, and experiences Y. They are not victims, and there is no "violation of free speech" here.
> I would think one of the pilots would stand behind the plane and verify control surfaces via radio, but I guess that's too time consuming or error prone?

Pointless. Reversing of controls is not possible between flights.

After service it should've been on checklist to validate everything (really, if plane's computer have feedback on position it should immediately alert), but, well, I'd imagine after this it will be mandatory anyway
Of course bottom surgery isn't what makes you a woman. Plenty of women still have penises.

Even cisgender, double x chromosome women!

Your genitals have nothing to do with whether you are a woman or not.

That's the conundrum. The incentives for junior and senior engineers are not aligned.

My intuition is that you need some seniors to be co-located. These are the people who focus on direct mentorship and eventually graduate to people management.

The 10x engineer IC can be remote, as long as they keep some time slots open for indirect mentorship (PR reviews, documentation, SOPs). They'll graduate into lead IC roles.

Upper leadership is mostly brainstorming, in meetings and control their own schedule, so they can probably manage a hybrid few-days-a-week in the office kind of schedule.

This is the step right before forking. If diplomacy fails, then you fork. A silent fork is much less likely to gain traction. This letter raises awareness for the problem and is the reaction to it is a solid foundation for a fork.
No, it just feels like a job. And I already have enough of that.

why? i have a legitimate interest in looking at "russian propaganda" sometimes because it's relevant to understanding the ongoing conflict. it may not be fact ually accurate but the official position of their government is relevant to grasping geopolitical problems of the day especially since basically everything their government releases could be reasonably classified as "propaganda".

but i guess only the "verified journalists" or whatever will be allowed to review this then explain it to us proles as they see fit.
