> Somehow Twitter and Reddit and various other social networks don't feel like that. I feel quite often that some subset people around me take opinions from Twitter etc. as being reflective of mainstream thought. When really it's still just a tiny microcosm of humanity.

More and more often I find myself in conversations with people and suddenly I feel like I'm reading a reddit or twitter thread, and I'll see the conversation follow an exact path that I've seen before, only now in real life.

It's a really strange feeling as someone who has been reading people's opinions on the internet for what feels like forever, and just recently seeing those opinions show up in everyday conversations with people I've known all this time.

Edit: It's especially jarring when you see these people say things like "in my opinion" or "i think", because now I start to wonder "do you really? Or did you just see somebody else say that?" Not that all my thoughts are original, but I don't take credit for things like that.

As I said in my post, he never justifies this point. To then turn it upon me to prove a negative?

Devils advocating against myself: I do believe the parler deplatforming is the proof for what he says. The world has indeed changed, but anyone who knows the details sure isn't saying why. Why? Because revealing how the world has changed, in the usa, would have some pretty serious consequences.

I don't know. I wish I could have a closed door, off record, tell me everything, conversation with yishan to have him tell me why he believes the world changed, in the context of social media censorship.

In terms of public verified knowledge, nothing at all has changed in the context of censorship. I stand by the point. Elon obviously stands by this as well. Though elon's sudden multiweek delays on unbanning... im expecting he suddenly knows as well.

>You're posting too fast. Please slow down. Thanks.

Guess I'm not allowed to reply again today. No discussion allowed on HN.

I do find it funny they say 'you're posting too fast' but I haven't been able to post on HN or reply to you for an hour. How "fast" am I really going. I expect it will be a couple more hours before I am allowed to post again. How dare I discuss a forbidden subject.

Bank of England raises key interest rate by 0.75 point
There are a load of aspects to this.

You appear to be in Canada so you would probably need your device certified by Industry Canada to meet technical standards for several classes of radio transmitter to be legal to use. (unless everyone using the devices learns some technical stuff, takes a test, personally holds an amateur radio license, does not use encryption and does not use it for business)

Even with a business radio license the letter of the law may require equipment certification.

In the USA some walkie talkies are "licensed by rule", meaning you don't need a license for things like FRS radios so long as the particular model of radio is FCC certified.

The FCC regulations for some kinds of no-license-required walkie talkies do not allow transmission of digital voice or data. GMRS radios can send data bursts for location information once every 30 seconds which is no use for your plan.

In the USA, there is VHF MURS radio and very low speed data is allowed but I believe that MURS is not legal in Canada.

You would probably end up on the 900MHz band, where you can get a useable data radio.

There is a fundamental tradeoff between range and data rate. On an FM radio channel where an analog voice is hissy but understandable, you can only get a few hundred bytes per second of data, see the shannon-hartley theorem.

The range of direct communication from one walkie talkie to another highly depends on obstructions in the path of the radio signal.

If one person stands on top of a hill then sometimes the range is miles, but quite often if the person walks a couple of hundred feet so that the top of the hill is between them and the other station suddenly no communication at all.

In a city the range of one walkie talkie to another is often less than 150 feet.

Buildings with metallized windows and steel-reinforced-concrete walls and floors block VHF/UHF radio signals.

The range of direct communication between walkie talkies is much shorter in a town than out on a lake where there is nothing in the way.

Systems such as police radio use repeater stations on top of tall buildings and radio towers.

A few walls or floors between two 900MHz walkie talkies can easily block the signal. 2.4GHz gets even worse range.

You number 2 desire is called "mesh networking". There has been a lot of research on mesh networking in the last twenty years. The reality is that with small portable devices near the ground it is just not worth the hassle. The quality of the connection between devices frequently wildly varies. Transmitting often enough to figure out who is in range of who is a huge battery drain.

There is an existing thing called "network radio". Basically devices that look like a walkie talkie but take a SIM card, are actually a 3G/4G cellular data device and which do push-to-talk VOIP.

A "network radio" walkie talkie works by pressing the button and speaking then your voice comes out of other walkies talkies, even if other people are on the other side of the world, provided that people have cellular coverage.

Some of the "network radio" devices also connect to the zello app on a smartphone.
Not sure if your post was satire, but isn’t everything you mentioned doable with apt already? Signal already has an official apt repo so all you need to do is the standard apt upgrade and everything including signal would be updated.

Does YouTube expose that metric? What does it mean?
> The reality is there's very little evidence for an actual "broader slowdown".

I wish I could be in your bubble. In mine, people have been spending more on less month after month. Businesses are seeing slowdowns. Things are going to be even worse when the winter heating starts.
They have 3.5mos. I find it unlikely someone’s market value dropped enough that they could once be a Stripe employee but they’re now unemployable.
> It should be in your contract, which means it was up for negotiation.

Generally, employees in America do not have contracts. While plenty of things are open for negotiation during the offer/hiring process, I doubt you'll get an exception to a corporate policy on paying out on PTO if it's not something they already do.

That said, IME, accrued PTO has always been paid on departure (voluntary or not). For this reason, most of the places I've worked heavily encourage (or even require) taking PTO, because it's a liability on their books.

It thought it would win.

KataGo was trained on multiple scoring methods at the same time: it is an input to the algorithm[0]. The model learnt that it would win when passing, and it seems it never had the opportunity to detect that it would not win under Tromp-Taylor when passing, because its opponent in self-play, KataGo, then either passed and lost (under other rules) or resigned.

I suspect that the vast majority of people who say they've used TeX have actually used LaTeX - and don't realize just how massively powerful TeX itself is. Much of the LaTeX macros are quite simple; TeX does the heavy lifting for so much of it.

I was expressing an opinion. My exact words were "I don't think..." I didn't day he should or shouldn't, that would have been gatekeeping.
I'm being slightly offtopic here but I really dislike how slow Firefox is to launch since it became a snap package as a default on Ubuntu 22.04. I know I can uninstall the Firefox snap and install it through APT, but I imagine more and more packages will become snaps by default on Ubuntu.

And finding out now that it's possible that snaps are part of a walled garden, just like app/play stores are is really bumming me out.

I'm rather new to linux and Ubuntu is the distro I'm most familiar with and I also really like using KDE. So I'm wondering if it's feasible to continue using a Ubuntu based distribution while completely avoiding Snaps or should I just switch distros (maybe to another one that runs KDE).
They definitely innovated once. Nowadays they are mostly responsible for inflating high-end phone and headphone prices to ridiculous levels.
> No, leave this for Windows.

This hasn't been the case on Windows for years now.
I would disagree about proverbial masks. Majority of people in the world including US are simply too preoccupied with their everyday routine, problems and work to end up with extreme political views.

What Internet does have is ease of changing masks and joining diverse groups. Trying something unusual without reprecussions appeal to a lot of people who usually simply dont have time to join such groups offline.

The real problem is that unfortunately propoganda has evolved too with all new research about human phychology, behaviors and fallacies. Abusing weaknesses of monkey brain on scale is relatively easy and profitable.

You could have just taken one in the size you reserved. If you're the helpful type, you could leave a note.
That's fair, I have only used it briefly so far (only just bought a decent PC). That is a shame to hear!
If you look closely at the picture of it in action, there is a clear acrylic shell covering the PCB on the back. They're actually gripping the acrylic shell. In the picture of the individual components, it appears to be the laser-cut wood pieces. That picture includes a pair of pieces that look like they go on the front (there's a cutout for the D-pad/face buttons), but I don't see them installed on the action shots. I think that the shell may be intended to cover both back and front, and they just didn't install it for the action pictures.
Higher temperature equals less dense air equals less lift.
I started posting videos regularly from March this year (probably had 10-20 subscribers before, now have 150+)

>If you watch some of my earlier videos there are a lot of “um’s” and “ers”...started with writing full scripts

I trained myself to go silent instead of ums/aahs/ers. I then changed how I recorded videos a bit so that I can simply use https://github.com/noisetorch/NoiseTorch to remove all the silent portions.

>Writing full scripts did have the benefit that they could more easily be converted into blog posts.

I'm kinda opposite. I was already consistently blogging and have now started adding videos (mostly for short tip posts, haven't tried for longer posts yet).
He could say stupid, but that would offend stupid people. He could say crazy, but that would offend crazy people. How about insane? The expression is all the same.

There are lots of injustices happening in this world that deserve your attention. Policing the use of a word is not one of them.
My new policy is to just install Debian instead.
I had "trouble" finding work over the summer. But the actual details are that I was asking for $275k and $300k at two companies. Both gave me a verbal offers, but hiring froze. The third company, gasp, wanted me to come into their office (20 minutes down the street).

I also lived through 2001 and 2008. I think the last 12 years of perpetual growth have created some amazing expectations from people. I can only hope that, once I get laid off, I'll have to "settle" for some $175k job in an office after my 3 months of severance runs dry.
Obviously if we tried to rely on this only right now we'd all starve but i hope in 500 years people look back at the idea of removing a mountain or digging a pit into the earth and subsequently destroying the ecosystem of these places to recover the minerals within with the same kind of baffled outrage that we might have today for someone who casually pours used motor oil into a swimming pool.
This looks pretty cool, and takes me back to my early programming days.

> by teenagers, for teenagers

> I'm 19.

Do you plan to continue contributing after you turn 20? I'm not familiar with the project, so I'm not sure what "by teenagers" means in practical terms (e.g. certain types of contributions no longer allowed?).
I've been using it for about a year - seems fine.
> the thrust of the remark is to put some sort of public "shame" on companies that perform layoffs

I don't think that's what he meant. He is asking whether the CEO is just blowing hot air when they say "we take full responsibility..." or whether there are consequences to their bad decisions, i.e., responsibility for those decisions.
"I'm hopeful for Microsoft's future on ARM, but either Qualcomm needs to get their act together, or Microsoft needs to pour money into some other chipmaker to optimize for Windows. Otherwise, the vast gulf between ARM SBCs on the low end and Apple's custom Silicon on the high end will persist."

Part of it is... what on earth is Qualcomm thinking with their pricing? Every PC that has had a Windows on ARM processor is priced like a premium machine, while running slower than the competition from Apple, Intel, and AMD (though Project Volterra is the best value by far, so far).

It's like Qualcomm has decided that high-end Snapdragon parts may only appear in $1000+ devices, perhaps to prevent people from asking questions about the cost of their chips in phones. (If a Snapdragon Gen 8 appeared in a $500 laptop, why couldn't it be in a $500 smartphone? Especially important, because of legal filings, Qualcomm uses the total sale price of the device for some royalty calculations IIRC.)
How does one hedge their bets with Stripe?

Build your business in a way that doesn't lock you into Stripe where it's reasonable to, and accept that it'll be painful in places where you can't.

...then all our money will get locked up in Stripe with no customer support recourse.

Don't leave all your money in Stripe.
> Is it really a good idea to vote so selfishly, not considering unintended consequences of empowering Trump-type people and enshrining a nativist, racist, and supremacist movement?

This strikes me as a feeble attempt by Democrats to refocus the conversation on what people say and/or think and away from the system of legalized discrimination they endorse.

Conservative populism isn't some uniquely "nativist, racist, and supremacist" threat. Trump people are for the most part just insular in the same way most people in my home country are insular: https://www.outlookindia.com/national/rohingyas-camps-becomi.... Democrats--with their affinity for diversity and change for their own sake--are the ones who are radically different.

You're right that, all else being equal, Asians should prefer the folks who don't make fun of foreign-sounding names. But all else isn't equal. The people who are nice to your face want to create a racial hierarchy that will prejudice Asians legally and economically. It is illogical to me for Asians to support that, just because some white Trump voters in Kansas say the same things their folks back home in India or China would say if the shoe were on the other foot.

> Most of the geographical US has places where non-white people basically feel not welcome.

I grew up in a Virginia House district that went Republican by 30-50 points the entire time I lived there. I have been all over the south and midwest. I live in a precinct that went decisively for Trump in 2016. I have never felt "not welcome" in those places. Now, I don't know what white people say behind my back, but I also don't care. They should hear what my parents say about non-college educated white people.

Indeed, the most racism I have encountered in my life has been from white liberals in the last 5-6 years. It's not Trump-people making me write diversity statements about "tell us about how you're not from here and are different from white people." Give me a guy in a MAGA hat who assumes I don't speak English any day of the week over a condescending white liberal who sees my identity as a vehicle for advancing their ideology.
Curious question: Why are all these sites behind Cloudflare and why is Cloudflare not acting?

"Engagement" on YouTube typically means likes/comments on your videos.

It is well understood that the YouTube algorithm treats engagement as a significant positive signal to recommend your video to non-subscribers (or even, with enough traction, on the home page).
They explained in a video why they do it… Most creators are explicit in why they do it. If they didn’t - their channel wouldn’t reach as far as it did otherwise.
It isn't impossible to have both. An app store that is a registry pointing to packages/files hosted by the developer. And since you mentioned Windows, that's exactly how choco and winget work.
One of my friends really swears by this but I find something so GUI driven really complex to automate for the things I do :)

Most of my 'backup' is more like synchronising offline archives. I don't really backup full machines, just the data.

So I'm back to some custom encfs + rsync scripts and pretty happy with that :P
Portability has become a challenge for me in darktable (which is my only choice in photo-editing).

My archive is now large enough (~8 TB) that it is impractical to carry around. Keeping edits synchronized between home and remote is hard. Darktable's internal database doesn't play well with remote edits, either. It's tricky.

I'm convinced that there is a simple/clever solution to the problem using existing tools (rsync/git/google drive/etc), but it will require someone with a really solid understanding of Darktable's inner workings and data-structures to prevent corruption of the database/library or, worse, the archive itself.
I wanted to give you a completely objective opinion, so I went from gematrix.org > www.c2kb.com > 9gagrss.xyz and based on that and your user name I found this: https://github.com/caviv/9gager

One thing, I think, you should be really careful about is how you handle user inputs, e.g. this line:
https://github.com/caviv/9gager/blob/20ccaaf649af525fc7a0c1d...

I validated this on the live site as well, and it was really easy to insert any kind of HTML through the `channel` param. This is called XSS or Cross-Site Scripting.

Also, you seem to regularly commit code that includes database connection information (I hope it is not active anymore, or at least not reachable from the outside internet), e.g.:
https://github.com/caviv/9gager/commit/bcc0b91eb8638835c1557...

Now, to be clear, this doesn't necessarily make you a bad programmer per se. But in my eyes, your claims of being "actually really good" seem to be over the top, and what I see is that you still have a lot to learn about the web and especially about security.
I don't block people because they hurt my feelings, i block people because im just not interested in seeing bird watching content on my timeline. No one deserves my eyeballs.
Maybe because selectively caring about specific issues while ignoring others is a form of political bias. I know people love to shout whataboutism whenever someone points out legitimate hypocrisy rather than confront the hypocrisy.
Very useful, seems to be an effective bridging tool between relational and NoSQL database types, and from the command line! Nice clear documentation page as well.
If you want to develop on iPhone you need to pay to become a developer, $100/year. You can't just run whatever code you like on it.

Google is one-off $25 to publish on their store, but running your own code via sideload is free.
I enjoy writing, but honestly don't have opinions worth sharing in one specific domain that would keep people engaged constantly nor consistently. I have too many interests to focus on one narrow domain. One day it could be something tech related, another day music related, finance related, sports related, etc. If I was just to blog about one topic constantly, I'd run out of ideas quickly and probably stop writing altogether.

Plus, as others have said - any opinion I have is probably also held by someone who already has a consistent readership and is a lot more eloquent and engaging than I could ever dream of being.
It is, there are plenty of documented cases. What I dont know is the relative proportion of the population thatbcomes from that, vs those that came to be homeless in California by other routes.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone here express the sentiment that execs and CEOs are geniuses for leading a profitable company. If anything, it seems like it’s us engineers who like to consider ourselves brilliant, and that the simple-minded management should be so lucky to have us.
Thanks for weighing in.

I agree the title is clickbait but I didn't mind the article because it may challenge the reader to reconsider why they're putting so much effort into individual commits, even if they're not convinced to abandon (PR branch) commit messages entirely.
On r/wallstreetbets there is an automod that proactively deletes people's comments to save them from Reddit's Orwellian "Anti-Evil" foot soldiers.

"Reddit has a paid team called Anti-Evil Operations (part of the "Trust" & "Safety" team) which goes around permanently banning accounts for saying bad words. We made automod block them so you don't lose your account for saying a word and getting reported. It's not our rule, it's the entire website now, we're just trying to look out for our people. Sorry."

>The big question is—will this $599 desktop be enough to push more developers towards cross-compiling for native ARM64 software on Windows?

No, more consumer hardware like the Surface series will push devs. Who will eventually want to get out of the x86 emulation layer and run their programs native.

Comparing this to an M1 Mini is a bit odd since they're not competing with each other at all, and Microsoft is limited by what Qualcomm et al can put out.
If you think you're going to suffer pain in the future, using your current success to reduce the impact of it seems quite sensible.
It's not out of the goodness of their heart. Stripe has to retain its existing employees and still attract talent, and the economic situation we're experiencing is only temporary. If they screw people over as they are leaving, they are shooting themselves in the foot.
And it was true. Media changed what free speech means; the "yellow press" almost caused wars. Both humans and media have had to learn how to do better with this, and we are struggling to get accurate, unbiased content that isn't controlled or at least partially coloured by special interests.

I have no doubt we can do better, if we actually tried to build social media with the right tools and incentives.
