Yes, I attribute my belief that it’s important for the company helping me via my compensation to feed, cloth, and shelter my family to be successful to my upbringing. I mean I don’t recall my parents ever saying “When you start working, do as little as possible because screw them they dont deserve your best effort.”

Are you implying that contributing to your company’s success isn’t important? I mean I have helped multiple companies to be successful and by many measures this has provided me success as well. I am pretty sure there is a correlation there.
Do you have a thesis and supporting evidence or are you making a conspiracy argument?
The "vast majority" being people who spend their weekend on twitter and follow Elon Musk. The poll didn't matter one iota. Elon would've made a big shitpost if it failed then he would've gone ahead in a few days/weeks.

Society really should not have to pretend they were never a woman just to protect a person's feelings. And why is acknowledging that they used to be a woman be so horrible? They have their own memories of their life before transitioning.
I was powerless to stop it. I was just a junior engineer, and it was decided by the CEO to do the project. So, actually, I feel I made the right choice -- I participated in the project but worked hard on making sure it was as limited as possible. I successfully advocated for several categories of logs to not be sent because they were not required by law.

So, yes, I regret I couldn't do more, but I don't regret the choices I made with the information I had and the position I was in.
I assume there are some pretty good programming tutorials that use the developer console. It's a pretty good environment for learning I think. Maybe not done yet. I think a really interesting angle is being able to access and modify things on a web page that a kid may be familiar with.

The Chrome dev tools has editing built in to the console. Takes a little getting used to using Ctrl-enter but works well otherwise.
At that point it's not you, its nature. Because you are an extension of nature. In a way, needles built by humans are needles built by nature.

I have heard concerns about the Leaf around it using air cooling for batteries and how they fare in very hot climates (34 degrees C here right now).

I have a mate with a Leaf and have been meaning to ask him how it's going. But definitely keeping an eye on them.
If they get out of control? Traditionally, starvation. Possibly civil unrest. Some combination of the two.

Sri Lanka banned fertiliser the other month, in a tea-snorted-through-the-nose decision. Bad time to be poor in Sri Lanka. If sane people don't try to keep control, that is the sort of decision making that happens.
the problem is that the censors themselves are political and judge different things differently.

For example, I've seen many ad hominem attacks on one group of people but do the exact same thing to another more "popular" and "in" group and you get ban-hammered.

You can't really trust anyone. Unless you want biased content - if that is the case, then censor away and be happy in the bubble.

Some replies over snipes would be nice, folks. Is systemd that upsetting, or is this not venture capitalist enough for the thread?

Not that I care about votes, but I can see at least three people have disagreed but said nothing.

It really depends on the thread though. Usually, if there are more comments than points for a post, the comments tend to be reactionary and not particularly interesting.
A link to a subscriber based site and cannot understand from what is available. Any chance to explain what is going on.
SerenityOS is interesting because of its monolithic repository concept with everything from the kernel to the web browser as a single unified project. They even write their own image and video codecs and stuff like TLS and OpenGL that everybody just lifts from somewhere else.

I would say that creating their own language to write the system in is pretty innovative. The power of the mono repo is really going to come through when they convert everything from C++ to Jakt.

Perhaps the most impressive and innovative thing about SerenityOS is the way they are building their community though. I cannot think of another project with so many contributors developing so openly on YouTube. The rate at which the project is evolving is amazing.

The SerenityOS project is extremely pragmatic so it is not going to charge off in truly experimental directions. That said, they borrow an impressive number of ideas from a fairly diverse set of influences. The pledge / unveil stuff from OpenBSD is interesting. The way they propagate errors throughout the stack is cool, and the fact that they built their own standard library for C++ is quite interesting.

One area where SerenityOS may truly innovate is in the browser since the project founder used to build web browser engines for a living.

If you do not think SerenityOS is interesting, maybe take a deeper look.
If you're doing a 600 mile road trip in the USA, it's already hard enough at times to find worthwhile places to eat without also limiting your choices to those with fast chargers nearby. Same for lodging if it's a really long trip.

I wrote a reply for your other comment which is now flagged (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33678566), so posting it here:

>despite being littered with comments that were flagged/unflagged

I don't think that's a factor affecting ranking - big amount of user flags (for the whole thread) and "flame-war detector" ("when the number of comments on a submission exceeds its score") do affect ranking negatively though, so I guess dang manually removed downranking factors for that thread.

A realtime health consultation chatroom platform, over 200k users and concurrent online 20k . It was running on 60$ DO instance, with 30 doctors answering.

Only for LISP people. To C++ programmers, an object is a struct with associated functions.

Then there's the confusion between lambdas and closures. They are not the same thing. Lambdas are simply anonymous functions, usually with funny syntax to make them easier to write in line. Closures are functions with data imported from an outer scope. Some languages separate the two.

Python and Javascript have nested functions which support closures, using standard function syntax.

Pascal and GCC C have nested functions which are not closures and cannot see outer dynamic scopes.

Conspiracy arguments do have evidence. It's just cherry-picked. I think this is the hallmark of a conspiracy theory - out of all the available evidence, this small subset is "the truth", and all the rest is produced by those in the conspiracy, with the intent of misleading us. They don't let the evidence speak; they define all evidence as true if it says what they believe, and all evidence as made-up lies that contradicts their predetermined view.

But they do have evidence. And boy, do they want to tell you about their evidence, and point you to their sources.

It's not just dang modding anymore (citation: an email to me on Nov. 4), as I understand it. So it sounds like someone else made that call if that's what happened.

The majority of HN's rules were violated repeatedly all over that thread, including the submission itself - https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. But the problem is that rules also exist around meta-discussion of HN's own discussion quality, and it's a poor experience when discussion quality is slipping if there's not also an avenue to reasonably meta-discuss why that's the case, either as a consequence of how the platform is operating or as an outcome of society's direction in a broader sense.

That doesn't ring any bells. It's been years. I think it was on Borregas Ave and it may have been owned by company called ISI at the time. Equinix has a DC in the approximate area now, not sure if that's the same building and the address changed or my memory is off.

This entire line of reasoning is predicated on the fact that there is no public funding of such things. If there were a way to make a living creating works without relying on selling them, then this wouldn't be an issue. Instead of talking about why sharing is bad, why don't we talk about how to publicly support creation?

Maybe a lot of you are willing to take a chance with some risk and some effort. Maybe you get nothing.

I know some really wealthy people who are only wealthy because they took a little risk. I know some people who could be wealthy too if they took the same leap, but didn’t and they aren’t. Perhaps they felt like you do…. It all comes down to choices. These people sticking at Twitter are making their choice. Others left, that was their choice. I’m not going to criticize either choice.

There's a long tail of issues that continue to plague Nix. Sometimes, not even the fault of the Nix project itself.

Case in point for my current employer's Python shop - everyone runs PyCharm. Well, JetBrains doesn't really support Nix-based environments. See e.g. https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-42461 . So basically something like this would be DOA. Is this something that someone like @domenkozar can fix? @grhmc ? I don't know.

No, you're right, I was referring to the superset (controversial threads that invite emotionally satisfying but uninspiring conversation), of which conspiracies would be a subset.
I don't see why anyone would expect a topic such as this to have particularly high quality comments when the issue being discussed is itself extremely anti-intellectual.

That said, are there any comments in particular that you think step out of line, or is it most of them?
Organometallic mercury compounds are extremely toxic, so it seems the enzyme is converting the mercury to some inorganic salt with low bioavailability but yeah it appears it becomes less bioavailable but not much else is stated.

There is no discussion possible with that line of reasoning. Invoking God is terminus for any discussion independent of your beliefs.

In your frame of reference consider as though God is building it through the human.

It still make no difference, whether we could still do it through conscious design than just evolutionary pressures which was what this discussion is really about.
tldr; I regret making bots in the early 2000's.

Sometimes we make things in our youth that end up getting people arrested. Sometimes nobody knows you even participated in coding and releasing some of the worst bots that are still used today in variants for banking theft software. Sometimes you just have to keep it to yourself and be the hacker you were when you built those evil things. Above all else you were/are a hacker and you should never claim your evil hacking deeds for yourself and should always do it for the love of the game.

There isn't much interesting or curious to discuss. We can all play guessing games about Musk's motivations or speculate on what will happen to Twitter/Elon/Truth/Trump.

Elon unbanned in a opaque way. He tried to offload responsibility onto twitter users even though it contradicts and confirms his past statements on lifting bans. We already knew he wanted to do it, but he also recently claimed some council would be involved.

You can probably pick plenty of other reasons from the guidelines as to why this gets flagged though. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
That's the funny things about the article. Though it mocks the idea, in the end we can't create a machine that has the same functionality as birds. Of course, humans only use a sliver of that functionality for their own ends, but even then we still raise billions of birds for our own ends. Most people still find cats to be the best way to hunt vermin, insect the best way to pollinate plants, seeing eye dogs better guides than any robot, snails better at auto-cleaning fish tanks than any device, dogs better at tracking scents in public than any machine, etc.
Plenty of links to blogs and magazine articles, sure. I was hoping for some help getting to the bottom of the actual studies though. Otherwise it comes across as though you’re just repeating something that you’ve absorbed from the popular corporate media.
>>I see a lot of negativity in this thread, which mirrors my experience: in most places, you'll be paid like a researcher with the respect of a lab assistant – unless you have a PhD and a postdoc.

As an outside observer to this area, something doesn't add up. It sounds like software tooling is desperately needed to advance the entire field across the board, yet it seems that few startups or founders are attempting to tackle this problem or, if they exist, aren't having much of an impact (perhaps, yet?).

One would imagine that all of this inefficiency, suffering and bottlenecking of incredible therapies to cure diseases and advance human knowledge would be a siren call for capital allocators to unlock value by solving this pain point -- but here we are, in some cases still 20 years and counting.

I can buy the argument that FAANGs have had amazing compensation packages over the past 2 decades, but this still doesn't address the reason why nobody else has bothered or been able to to "disrupt" (yes, air quotes) the industry in this regard and harvest such seemingly low-hanging fruit.

I see a few comments talking about the PI and grant-funding model -- but if the promised value was sufficiently large then I find it hard to believe that this wouldn't have been a competitive candidate alongside other recent buzzword-laden investment trends such blockchain & AI that pulled down so much VC funding over the past decade.

Clearly, I'm missing a piece of the value puzzle as to why founders and startups are few and far between to specifically address the dire straits that biological software engineering (computational biology, bioinformatics, systems biology, etc.) finds itself in.

> this isn't an insult but an objective observation that these people need mental health help. To drive the point home - my ex-girlfriend worked at a mental institution for children and the majority all of them were trans and/or had BPD/Cluster B/CPTSD etc etc. At one point, all 5 children in their unit were trans!

What exactly are you saying here? That all the trans kids had cluster B personality disorders? You said and/or but the rest of you post seems to be implying that all trans people have cluster B personality disorders. There are lots of other reasons to be a psychiatric inpatient that are not cluster B personality disorders, and CPTSD is also not a personality disorder of any type.

It's not particularly suprising that trans kids end up as inpatients in psychiatric wards. My experience with them is that they know that the vast majority of the world absolutely hates them. I mean, I heard about this one internet comment that implied that they all have cluster B personality disorders. Absolutely shocking.

Your whole thesis reads weird. There are estimated to be about a million trans people in the US. You really think that many are "extremely online?" Do they all have cluster B personality disorders? Are none of them living quiet lives?

Do you do this with all minorities?
It’s a manufactured play to create a new regulatory space by tech companies and investors trying to slink out of the regulatory noose tightening of their existing ventures.

The standard answer when people ask ‘so, how are you handling identity”, now has become ‘oh the community does’ … it’s raw unadulterated bullshit and companies like Meta enthusiastically embracing the supposed technology to bring deliverance from the yore of big tech should be all the answers one needs.
The H in Hacker News kind of gives it away. Not only tech/software, but politics usually considered off-topic. Social, health, environmental topics get discussed here unless/until they veer into political arguments. Or conspiracy theories.

I haven't lived in San Francisco in decades so I find those discussions uninteresting. Those can either show the demographics of the HN audience or the Bay Area oriented tech world, or both.

Have never seen climate change denial on HN. When the COVID pandemic started HN hosted quite a few conversations about origins, severity, treatments, vaccine effectiveness, etc. That toned down over time but I still see posts almost daily about the possible origins of the virus, which probably interests some people but seems mostly irrelevant to me.
It's pretty clear at this point that the people working the censorship departments (I mean, Trust and Safety) have started to become like HOA leaders and enforcing random rules that don't clearly benefit the users.
