Just start, you can always change the format later.

By the way, there seem to be two main groups of programming-related channels on YT. One are terribly serious and a bit boring because of monotonous voice and in general, well, not much is going on. On the other end of the spectrum you got pure entertainment and almost no knowledge transfer (maybe except inspiration) like Dani. It would be great to find some sweet spot somewhere in between, for people with ADHD like me who quickly get bored and need some emotions in the video but at the same time want to learn something and not just waste their time watching half-baked attempts at crazy game ideas.

They do demonetise videos, yes, but I believe they still put ads on them (just they take the money, not the creator).
Sure, but people reading these comments can't see inside your head, so being specific is worth the extra small effort, in my opinion. The primary content of my reply was the part about employment contracts.
We are having a boom here, there are thousands of them. They are keeping the mosquitos away.

My lasting impression of them is from a forest walk a decade ago, where I was surrounded by hundreds of them, and I found them super clumsy. Every step I took I spooked a couple, and they would fly as fast as possible in a fixed direction, which resulted in dozens of them slamming into trees and knocking themselves out with an audible thwack.

I'm starting to have the same change of perspective for a different reason: widespread use of formatters.
One of the drawbacks of white-space sensitivity is the accidental mixing of distinct white-spaces (e.g., tabs and spaces). Using a formatter eliminates this problem because all white-spaces are normalized.
Also, that new Settings app wasn't even in the original release of Windows 11. It was delivered after the fact through an update.
I mean if I were a cartel with a lot of money, I would absolutely start a legit shipping company as both a front and also a way to smuggle. Not saying MSC are that, but I feel like if cartels can buy off senior politicians and police chiefs, some civilians can't be too difficult.

Ah, drug criminalisation. What a great problem we've created.
To highlight just how crazy things can get, my highest-earning YouTube video has earned well-over $100,000 in AdSense revenue.

But that’s not the end of the craziness.

About a year ago, that video was suddenly and inexplicably deemed by YouTube as unsuitable for all advertisers. I appealed, but they stuck with their decision.

In the year since, that video has brought in ~$80.

While I have found success on YouTube, I wouldn’t recommend it to anybody who doesn’t have a strong track record of attracting and maintaining a large audience. YouTube is the most saturated market on the planet, and and at the end of the day, you are subject to the whims of a largely-opaque algorithm. It is not possible to succeed on YouTube without significant effort, but significant effort doesn’t guarantee success. Moreover, the connection between effort and reward is unpredictable, and it’s sometimes not there at all. You can be flying high today, only to have it all change tomorrow, without any explanation.

People understand that high-quality content is necessary for success on YouTube, but they often lose sight of the fact that it is not sufficient. Not only do you have to create quality content, but you have to create content that people want to watch more than everything else that is available to them on YouTube - which is obviously very, very hard.

Does YouTube stop people from uploading the videos to other platforms? Do they require a set commitment of work?

There are various tests that apply to contractors in the U.K. to work out if you’re an employee or a Lego mate contracting company, as it makes a difference to how taxes and benefits are calculated. Fro my understanding YouTube nowhere near meets that criteria of employee/employer. Companies like Uber and deliveroo are far closer.
It is easy to choose for others, isn’t it?
I wish there was a way to filter people here
I've noticed my twitter feed is better on average than my HN feed these days. For a brief moment I considered that the quality here is going down or that there it is going up (imagine! lol).

Then I realized it's all about my abiltiy to filter there.

There is a somewhat small but vocal and obvious contingency of HN posters who are just repeatedly arguing in bad faith or making low effort comments.

They are also often found discussing almost exclusively political topics and have very little to offer in terms of technical expertise.

I think my experience would be massively improved by being able to filter them out.

I see filtering as a kind of distributed community vote, and eventually if the majority of the community starts to filter out certain members, the net effect is like a distributed shadow ban. Those people won't be engaged with and will probably leave for somewhere they can get reactions.

I'm guessing this goes against HN culture and won't be accepted, but I thought it was worth discussing, because my ability to filter has left me with a pretty delightful experience on an app otherwise not known for them, so imagine what it could do here on HN.
It's not hard, it's just wasteful and not very useful.
There is a programming language called D (https://dlang.org/), this might have caused confusion for some people.

(Technically, there used to be a language called B, too, but I don't think it has been in use since before I was born.)

Happy New year.
Amen brother. He was not a "bully". He was a coach. A tough coach. Anyone could have walked away. No one was being forced to work at a top .1% company in the world. If you were there it's because you wanted to be do your best work and be part of the best. You wanted to make the world a better place. You believed in the power of these devices to do good, and to fight evil.

Jobs wasn't out there hurting civilians on the streets. You want to see a real bully, go to Ukraine and see what Putin is doing to civilians.
> In Switzerland, 58% of the population are renters. Notably, the tax advantages of owning above are missing in Switzerland, making renting a more attractive proposition. That's what should be fixed. Don't push everyone to buy a home, but don't keep shoveling money in regressive transfers to those who do.

I don't know how familiar you are with Switzerland, but if you are trying to paint this as a good thing, it is not. Go to www.homegate.ch or www.immobilier.ch and see how much a house costs. Hint: very few are below 1 mio CHF for a family home in a good area. That's an insane amount of money, even for a good earner. People in Switzerland don't rent long-term because its a great financial decision, they rent because they can't afford to buy.

Interest-only mortgages are common here. That means you take out a mortgage and don't even try to pay it back fully, only paying back the interest your whole life and then when you die, the bank sells the house and takes its share of the capital back. There are also some tax rules around (2) from your point above, plus negative interest rates for a long time, leading to Swiss property prices going parabolic the last few decades.
A new book I read in 2022 that I can really recommend is Effective Software Testing by Maurício Aniche. Very pragmatic, useful tips on how to write tests. I have been developing SW (and tests) for a really long time, but I still learnt

> Intent is preserved

I think this can work both ways.

I keep notes as I'm working (just plans for the day, typing up stuff that I'm doing for a vague timesheet, snippets of code so I can easily copy/paste them and thoughts I have as I'm working on stuff). And I've found that, often, when I revisit those ideas, in the intervening weeks and months they've morphed into something quite different from my original thoughts. Obviously my notes are private, but putting it out there in public means you have to acknowledge the divergence, rather than just sweeping it under the carpet.
Nope, but you could probably write a browser extension for this pretty easily. Hell maybe you could even add an entry to an adblocker like UBlock Origin for each username.
> collective farms, the result in every case was famine

What about kibbutzs and moshavs in Israel? Granted, they are small-scale,
You completely misunderstood. In an idealized free labor market scenario, the wages of the scarce specialist employees would go up to the point that Apple or Google could barely make a profit. The race to the bottom is on profits, not wages. Just like small businesses typically compete on sales price until they only have a trickle of a profit.

To avoid this, companies use various tricks to fix wages such that they don't have to pay even the highest valued employees more than a fraction of the value they actually bring to the company, and thus can get away with huge profits.

To illustrate this with an extreme scenario, assume that all of Apple's work relied on a single engineer's designs. If Google and Apple were to compete on who can hire that engineer, Apple would be willing to pay almost all the way up to their entire revenue to that single engineer, as in this contrived scenario, if they lose him, they lose all of their revenue. So, Google and Apple would be racing to the bottom, offering ever more extravagant salaries to this magical engineer until they couldn't pay him and make a profit at all anymore.
i have been beating around this bush for eons and so far my best release strategy is custom build wordpress container where plugins and themes are built in.

The problem i was facing was mostly that almost all of the plugins used in "general", do not come with a testing architecture in any way. How are you going to handle a "rouge" plugin not closing its <div> tag correctly?

I used to have "hidden" control pages where i would render the most used elements with demo content which i could check against. But then you throw things like composer into the game and most of that goes out of the window.

After all these years, my best approach is still making a backup, hitting the upgrade button, and praying :/
calling the urls in a Blocklist is kinda stretching the definition of 'content' though, innit?

I'm not suggesting Mars should go to war with or colonize Earth after such an event, just that there may be value in our cultures and civilization continuing to exist somewhere. I could imagine how Mars may choose to do that, but I would consider that to be a bad thing.

Perhaps it would be better if our civilization ends in the event it destroys itself on Earth, but why should we assume what comes next will be better? How would being born out of an apocalypse affect a civilization?
v8 came out in 2008, so this doesn't conflict with that. Though perhaps Sergey was like "if Jobs is really this worried about a browser, maybe we should build a browser". :-)
The best thing about significant whitespace is the reduction in pernickety code review comments about it compared to other languages. If you also agree to "just run black" to format code then that kind of bullshit drops to almost 0 in a team.
In fact, never otherwise is mentioned, so generally you should feel free to experiment nesting everything inside anything unless otherwise mentioned explicitly. Of course you will discover that TextInput is only rendering Text elements this way, surely it's not documented well enough, although you should 100% of the time understand it's not the web and, with many many familiarities, things still work different here
I think you overestimate net joy brought by Pixar. Some people watched a movie and were entertained for the duration of the movie, some were moved by it and it lead to a couple of hours worth of joy more. Some did not understand the message in the movie and just liked colorful pictures. Yes, there were a couple of movies, but not like tens or hundreds. In the end those movies would not have the success they enjoyed without powerful marketing and distribution machine. Those movies were also used as a vehicle to sell overpriced toys.

I prefer not to mythologize (very good) products of billion dollar companies too much, even if they could stand on their own.

Since when?

Without a union or the ability to afford a lawyer, your compensation is entirely up to your employer's whim. Contracts are only useful if you can afford the time and money to fight for your side of it and also know you need to. And many classes of jobs don't involve employment contracts in any way the helps the employee (think service industry, etc.), the employers for those can do basically anything they want, anytime they want.

So why are they doing this in Vancouver and not like Detroit, where you can get almost 20 median priced homes (60k each) for the price of a single median price home in Vancouver (1.2m each)? It's about just buying property and storing cash right, why not try and corner the Detroit market since its actually possible with these numbers?

Because its not about just buying for property buying sake. It's just an asset. People invest in assets to hopefully see a return. The fact they are buying in vancouver and not detroit is because these investors expect to see a substantial gain with the vancouver asset versus the detroit one. SPY is down 20% this year while vancouver properties actually saw a gain, its even better to invest in vancouver real estate than the stock market currently.

So how do you walk this back and not make housing in vancouver such a great speculative asset? Easy, you devalue housing, by allowing for apartments to be built in the ~80% of vancouver that is limited to single family or low density development.
Your comment adds nothing to HN but mean-spiritedness.
Interesting, I have a similar goal but in the Drupal space. My partner and I have been building Drupal sites for clients for almost 15 years and we keep running into hosting issues for our clients at scale. Most of the "managed" options get extremely expensive very quickly, but they're also not managed from a content/modules perspective.

We're trying to do the best of both worlds and provide a managed (albeit opinionated) install that leverages our experience on the development side with performance and ease of use on the hosting side. Would be happy to compare notes as it comes together. Our website is in my profile and our email is hello@ the domain listed there.
"Steve took a chance on us and believed in our crazy dream of making computer-animated films; the one thing he always said was to simply 'make it great.'

There’s an interesting video digging into the way these copycats are fake too [1] - if you watch them you can often see things like excavator tracks that haven’t been hidden well enough, and they found somebody involved who talked about how the buildings are built by teams of people on leased land and then just abandoned when the video is done…

But I think they do cater to a different audience. You need a fairly long attention span to watch the real, not-faked Primitive Technologies videos, whereas the copycats not so much. And the real channels is always pretty interesting, whereas the copycats are all the same thing, so they’re probably not really taking that many views away. But yeah, they should definitely have to come up with less similar names to the real thing!

No, I watched the whole video. But there are no details on "how the Balkan drug cartel infiltrated global shipping", it just says that they did and mentions recruiting Montenegrin sailors, and an ex-boxer that coordinated it. The video is presented as an investigation, but it's just a rehashing of newspaper headlines from the past two years.

(They mention the port of Bar, but only to say where the sailors are coming from. In fact, there were quite a few substantial drug busts here, so it seems like some part of the drug route.)

Anyway, I expected way more from the video based on its title.
Well, trying to sell a project to the higher-ups is a lot easier when you can say

> Hey our interpreter for our backend code will be eventually deprecated. It is currently version 2 and we need to move to version 3"

Then the execs say "we are on 2?? and there is a 3??! what are we waiting for?!" A whole lot easier than trying to say:

> Hey, there is a new interpreter out there called COBRA. We need to rewrite our whole codebase to use it, there isn't a tremendous amount of benefit, but its the new thing from the same people and eventually everyone will use it. Trust me.

> Subs on YT don't mean revenue... they're just people who may watch your videos later.

Right on. I always tell people that I can’t pay my employees with subs and likes.

For most videos, an overwhelming majority of views come from traffic suggested by YouTube in some manner (home page, sidebar, after a video). I have millions of subscribers across a few channels. Subscriber notification and feeds invariably account for a very-low-single-digit percent of video views.

ATM's are the OG distributed system. If you ever get a online banking notice about your bank doing maintenance over the weekend usually they ATM's will go into standby mode. When this happens it is really interesting, and a fun source of chaos. The ATM's in standby mode allow you to withdraw on credit, the limit of your card. Even if you have no money. It all starts to get reconciled over the next week and you have to pay it all back. But it's a 2am bear trap for drunk people at casinos.
