> it’s not much my choice if some pollutant is dumped into the air

Aren't you enjoying the benefits of those pollutants ? The sheer fact that you are posting on HN means that you have access to a device that was produced thousands of miles away and got delivered to you. No one forced you to own one, that was your choice.

Just because you are not the one physically emitting the stuff does not mean you share no responsibility for it.

It’s ok to build things just because they’re fun to look at.
I disagree. This is like saying that a electric guitar that makes piano sounds can be a piano and more of a toy than an instrument.

Digital does not make something worse.

Think about your average person, they won't be able to fork out much more than $800 in some instrument be it acoustic or not. That money won't get them anything remotely playable (acoustically) but it will get them a digital device that will inspire their practice.

I never understand why so many pianists seem to forget that acoustic pianos are not cheap, especially compared to other instruments like the guitar or for people that are just starting and might quit in a couple of years because their practice in an acoustic piano has made the neighbors complain to the police 8 times for noise related matters

> they should pay me

...why?

As someone who doesn't use Twitter, remarks like this have left me very confused. Clearly these people found Twitter valuable before. Does not having the checkmark make it less valuable? Is there an alternative service that provides similar value?

The blue checkmark is a service. Now they want money to continue that service. If you don't want it, don't pay for it. Leaving over concerns about Elon's vision for the platform makes sense, but I really don't get leaving over the checkmark subscription.

It punts that question to how you end up using it. If it lets you avoid blowing out your cache by copying huge arrays all the time, then it's more cache-friendly than using flat arrays. In most use cases you'll end up using chunks that are "big enough". It's definitely possible (unless the VM is doing something very clever) to get yourself into a pathological case where your tree degenerates into a linked list and your performance becomes awful - but that's something you can fix in how you construct your things rather than an inherent problem with the datastructure.
Same problem for wheelwrights and loom weavers and chimney sweeps. Occupations go obsolete, people have to adapt. There is nothing special about artists in that regard, if technology supersedes them then they'll go away and people will have to do other things.
What used to be useful intelligent search results with some ads sprinkled around has been transformed into ads with a few poisoned search results sprinkled around.

Volt Labs | Tulsa or Remote | Rust, Golang, Python, Typescript, Angular | Full-time | https://www.textvolt.com

At Volt, our mission is to make leveraging communication infrastructure easy. Earlier this year, we took lessons from our experience running an SMS platform and launched an SMS messaging ops solution for software companies struggling with deliverability. Managing SMS deliverability takes a lot of manual effort to measure, understand, and improve - we believe that it shouldn't. Our goal is to automate the process of knowing when a deliverability problem is happening, understanding the cause, recommending actions to resolve the problem, and communicating the solution to the end customer.

To do this, we're analyzing terabytes of SMS data and extracting actionable insights that we can build into our product. We're looking for product-minded full stack software engineers to help us build a world class product while navigating the hurdles of scaling a high availability solution. We should get in touch if building a modern, user-friendly, near real-time software system on top of a large and rapidly growing dataset within a well-funded seed stage startup is interesting to you.

We're using primarily Rust, Python, and TypeScript + Angular, along with a whole host of other tools.

Surely you'd store their birthdate (or maybe birth year and month for privacy reasons). Then you only allow people who you know are older than 21, those born before (not in) 2001-11 (based on currentYear of 2022). With the magic of modern JavaScript, this shouldn't be too hard:

let birthday = "1998-08" # This value is taken from the user's verified credentials, in my case September 1998.
let ageRestriction = 21
let legalDate = new Date(new Date().setFullYear(new Date().getFullYear() - ageRestriction))
let birthdayDate = new Date(birthday)

if (legalDate > birthdayDate) console.log("Is that cash or card?")
else console.log("Sorry, you're not old enough.")

e: I didn't fully read OOP's comment about not wanting to reveal age, however I still feel that YYYY-MM is a valid option for age verification. It allows for the most privacy while impacting the smallest group of people, and in those cases you would effectively need to be 21 and a month old to enter these bars, without some other form of legal ID.

e2: Reading through the article after commenting (I know, I'm terrible and you can all violently detest me if you wish), there is an "ID card" example which clearly states the user's date of birth. Surely this is a prime use-case for OOP?

These topical experts as you put it, make more than $8/month today from their engaged audiences. What Twitter should do is build better engagement tools for them and then monetize that at much more than $8/month.

You think Stephen King, who is worth $500m, is going to drop Twitter for $96/year. That tweet itself was him doing a good job of using that platform (twitter) and his audience to get some free exposure.

Trucks do have a use sometimes, and some people keep a truck on standby while using a more efficient car most of the time.

With that set up a situation can arise where the one efficient car is in use while the other driver needs to be somewhere. It is completely irrational to expect them to maintain a 3rd vehicle for this rare case.

> We may not like it, but your last point is almost the exact definition of what a "price" is. Things don't have objective "prices" as an intrinsic quality. They don't even have "reasonable" prices intrinsically. A price is no more, and no less than an agreement between buyer and seller to make a transaction happen.

The difference is that most companies aren't pricing their goods to the maximum amount they think they can get from you personally. They instead price things according to what the majority of their target market is willing to pay.

You can say that ultimately it still comes down to paying only what you're willing to spend, but I might be willing to spend $20 on something, yet also be unwilling to spend $20 on it if I know you've been charging everybody else $12 for that same product. Consumers find personalized dynamic pricing to be unfair and discriminatory and for good reason. There's a really big difference between a company who uses their advantage in pricing to screw over everybody for extra profit and one who uses their advantage to personally screw you over in order to take more from you than they could normally get away with.

Publicly disclosed prices that apply equally to everyone puts a boundary on much a company can take advantage of any one person.
I would argue that the only reason we went from 10kloc to +1mloc is because of the proliferation of bad coding practices...like OOP
No chance. IMO i can see case scenario artists get together to lobby for some sort of label system like food industry to label non synthetic art for those interested in supporting bespoke human created works. Then watch said artists get called out as fakers for using AI assisted features like context-aware fill.

And as a consequence, it is not worth the $8. King's analysis is correct.
Ask HN: Do you consider textual web/app browsing to be reading?
Example: Reading HN, browsing Reddit threads, browsing Wikipedia.

Some people don't consider this reading, in the sense that it's not the classiest or most-preferred form, like it's not what they think of as reading done properly.

Others do think of it as reading, like "I read all day long" could include reading HN and scrolling through Twitter.

What's your opinion?
I wrote something similar that I use across 2 laptops, so it stores it in AWS. The gist of it is firehose to S3 then use Athena to query. My zsh shell sources a script that has functions that uses the AWS cli to post data or query.
Dieselgate was trying to avoid using DEF claiming you could get compliant NOx output without it [1]. You can if you reduce power and efficiency during the test cycle, if you want good power and efficiency while having compliant NOx output you need DEF on a diesel engine and it works very well but does increase complexity and cost.

I think rare situations can exist where a company would reasonably conclude that paying the employee not to compete is worth a lot more to the company than their salary. However, they should pay for it, not the employee (or the market, for that matter).

I think open source, the internet, and Stable Diffusion have shown that the diffusion of knowledge is generally in the public interest. I really think judges made a serious mistake when they stopped treating non-compete clauses as unlawful prior restraints on trade. They are not remotely in the public interest.
The classification problem of sorting humans into two groups:

Why limit to cargo? MCAS is just a pilot aid that changes the type rating of the aircraft. It was designed to avoid that change but we are witnessing why you do not hide critical subsystems from pilots or regulators. So reveal the system, force a new type, require training. Revealing the system will highlight the obvious flaw of a single air speed foil and aerodynamic issues of the elevator trim. Fix that and you have a perfectly flightworthy plane.

But money is the motivator here and the MAX is starting to look like a loss leader. Big question here: what will southwest do if the MAX requires a new certification by pilots? Stick with Boeing (meaning Boeing pays for this mistake) or flip entirely to airbus (and Boeing loses a major customer)
Am I wrong, or does it feel like Elixir has lost momentum over the last couple of years? I'd like to spend more time becoming proficient with the language and platform, but it seems increasingly hard to justify professionally over something like Go, which usually does concurrency well enough when required. Are people having success finding Elixir jobs in 2022?

The publicity the game is getting out of those articles is a massive win for the developer.

It's also a win for Ikea because their request is reasonable and their communication open, but they still defend their brand image.

Seems like a win-win to me.
Rai Stones don't, as a rule, run over my children, give me lung cancer, or destroy the park for an overpass. Conversely they can't get me to all the towns where the rail was demolished for scrap at a higher cost than mining fresh iron. The core concept of car is fine to have as a small part of our lives, the implementations are largely gross and unnecessary.

> If you go down that route, you'll probably work out that people should be riding e-cargo bikes everywhere (I've been tempted myself)

They're great. Mine has a solar panel over the cargo bed and never needs charging (literally do not own an AC charger for it). You need some minimal level of concession from driving culture and infrastructure to make them survivable though. They also don't cover all use cases (but carrying the *%#$ full sheet of plywood that is always brought up as somehow being an essential daily staple is quite possible with a variety of designs or trailers).
I see what you mean, but I think shortsighted or timid are better terms than greedy. If the paid-for content drove ad revenue above and beyond the creation cost, they'd actually be MAKING money.

They'd need to work out how text tweets don't get subsidized while video does, or figure out the right way to subsidize text. Not that many text tweet contibutors would be worth paying, but not that many video ones would be worth it either.

> if you want to share a TLS connection you're obviously fucked...

Some would argue that if you're using threads, well then you're fucked from the start, very possibly including me.

Go gets around this using go-routines, but go isn't necessarily thread safe per se. Futher go also has it's own bag of bugs you have to be aware of when using it.

I think maybe the true answer here is rust.
Couldn't the browser remember your home instance as an autocomplete "url" value[0]?

So you would click the "Add this person as a friend on my home instance" button on the third party page, and it would bring up a little text box which you could fill and submit with a couple of clicks, then it would redirect you to your instance with an agreed URL parameter, so that your instance would ask whether you really wanted to add them.

Assuming your instance remembers who you are with a cookie (and the third party instance can remember your home instance too), the process could be minimally onerous.

Paying or facilitating ransomware ransoms should be a criminal offense for everyone involved. Even if not paying a ransom means that an entire business is destroyed, that is an acceptable consequence to prevent future attacks on other targets.
Honestly. "Cool new things" without some sort of pricing have started to scare me. Either A) I'm the product or B) SURPRISE! The cool new thing now costs absurd amounts of money.

Sure, I like not paying for things (if I don't have to), but if I start to use it and really get into it... if there is no clear monetization... it gets a little scary. Plus if I'm really into it, I want to support it. Some of my favorite apps are solo developers or small time shops (like Inkdrop)
The idea that Twitter's future is "bleak" is really premature. For that you have to separate your possible dislike of Musk from the actual ideas, instead of jumping to hysterical conclusions.

Musk won't turn it into 4chan because that would be fatal, his entire investment gone with no goals achieved. As he claimed, he seeks to amplify the current silent majority (80%) whilst pissing of the political extremes to the same degree equally. Surely a delicate balancing act, but I find it a noble goal.

The tiny little rush of harmful slurs, fueled by people thinking they can now say whatever they want, was immediately stopped in its tracks. Next up, a moderation board will oversee moderation/censorship. We don't know yet what this will bring, so there's little point in drawing conclusions. It's about 2 days old.

He's experimenting with alternative payment models. We always criticize the toxic ad model, so I think this is refreshing. He's looking to flatten the influencer curve by dampening the run-away status effects found in Twitter's algorithms.

He claims to want to onboard longform content and video, and I would expect quite a few other product improvements/ideas. Judged by his reputation, I would expect them to be delivered rapidly. Quite a culture change from Twitter's product team producing close to nothing.

I'm sure he'll continue to be an unhinged unpredictable character and asshole, but I consider Twitter to be so broken that the ideas at face-value do not come across as "bleak", promising instead.
That's the one the 20-odd guys from WhatsApp used to run live communications by 100m+ users before being bought by Facebook, right?
> ...why?

Because the content on Twitter is generated by a relatively small number of users. A lot never tweet, quote tweet or retweet but it goes beyond that number once you weight it by audience. A small number of people have a large amount of reach and thus are responsible for a good chunk of the content.

That content is why the users are on Twitter and it is those users who are advertised to that pay for Twitter to exist. That's what Stephen King means.

Now you can turn this around and say that those power users are only there because the audience is and that they get value for being there but platforms need users and users follow creators more than the platform as a general rule.
I have done this. I will also occasionally pen an email to developers, musicians, etc, expressing my sincerest gratitude and how much it means to me to see and hear such great work. Yes, these things are real work with deadlines and dealing with unreasonable people. They are also labors of love and passion. Every so often, I get a response back of much the same care and attention that I try to put in.

If the phrase “a society grows richer when old men plant trees whose shade they will never sit in” does indeed ring true, then I think it equally corresponds to the qualities and textures of beauty we as an audience are privvy to that the makers may not be.
Regular Release Linux Distributions Are Wrong
This may be obvious to you, and I am trying not to put words in your mouth.

Linux and UNIX doesn't build tooling this way, because they believe that you make one tool to do one thing well, and these things you mention while related are not one thing. You'd use the OS as an IDE in this context.

The mindset is changing over time, systemd, vscode, etc.
