Ask HN: Why my Show HN post with 10 votes does not appear on front page
I posted a link under Show HN, which got 10 votes within 50 minutes. Still it did not appear on the front page of Show HN. There are other posts on the front page which have 2 to 3 points.

How are universities and colleges dealing with this kind of demand for computing power? It must be hard to be able to do some courses now.
It would be great if a tradeoff could be made, though. For example, train at 1/10th the speed for 1/10th of the cost.

This could correspond to taking public transport in your analogy, and would bring this within reach of most students.
Someone using to vs too is not misspelling a word; they don't know the difference between two words. That's a grammar mistake. Would you say this is a misspelling?

> Anti-depressants can break that cycle long enough to let you get your stuff together to the point the cycle stays broken.

Cycle-breaking is the selling point of using psychedelics for mental health treatment.

From what I can gather they're far more effective than "traditional" anti-depressants.
What's the reasonableness of this? 40% of homes are gas.

What % of kids with asthma have a gas range? CPSC report doesn't even mention asthma...

Why can't they mandate ventilation? Why a ban?

How much is government giving to move away from gas?

>a rebate of up to $840 for an electric stove or other electric appliances, and up to an $500 to help cover the costs of converting to electric from gas.

That's not bad. Might be able to convert to induction.

So really they aren't banning natgas, this is all about getting people to pull trigger.
You have to pick one, but then you have to ensure that all the materials you're working with agree, just like imperial vs metric measurements.

But I'm not convinced that it helps, outside of semiconductors and tubes, because it can lead to a whole category of misconceptions. I see it come up reasonably frequently:

In the example shown in the photos (not the illustrations) of TFA, the awkwardness of the design comes from trying to compress the aggressive/sporty front end shapes of Mercedes' current line of ICE models into the smooth silhouette of a range-optimized EV blob.

There's a lot of visual conflict between the two motifs, as shapes that normally have boxy, sculptural depth get squashed down into basically 2D features on the surface of the smoothed out, mouse-like volume of the overall package.

The designers seem to have been stuck with the assignment of putting a Mercedes mask onto a wide, flattened jellybean. The result is mostly successful from the side views, but seems pinched and overwrought from the front.

Additionally, some of the grille shapes on the front are likely vestigal, as EVs don't require the same ventilated cooling as combustion engines. Much to the frustration of car designers, one of the key identifying features of any brand has historically been the design of the now obsolete front grille; the functional purpose that served as an aesthetic starting point is now gone. (You can trace the gradual acceptence of grille obsolescence in the evolution of Tesla's designs.)

> Erm yeah, mental problems are literally all in your head.

Well, everything you experience is literally in your head, so it's a bit useless observation. What matters is whether or not you can think the problem away, which for being depressed is about as possible as for a broken arm.

> What I mean is, that when someone has a shitty life and is therefore depressed, then his brain chemicals are probably not look good.

Yes. But in many other cases, brain chemicals are not looking good because of some other, more permanent issues, like genetics, or environment in which one grew up.

> Pills still might help this person to transition back, but this won't be sustainable, when the root cause does not get fixed.

There may not be a root cause. If one's stuck in a feedback loop of "bad mental state -> shitty life -> bad mental state -> ...", it doesn't even matter much what initially caused it all those years or decades ago. And again, in some cases the root cause is just permanent.

A wheelchair is a good analogy to mental health medication. A wheelchair will help people move around regardless of whether they were born without a leg, lost their leg in an accident, became paralyzed from waist down, or had a rough fall and need to give couple weeks or months for their legs to recover. You don't tell the person without a leg that they should think about transitioning off the wheelchair. You don't deny a wheelchair to a person with temporary loss of mobility from a bad accident. Some people will need it permanently, some only for a moment - but if they all have specific mobility problems, the wheelchair is there to reduce them.
I’d go the other way from some of the replies.

Don’t go “meta” trying to read director intent etc.

Instead watch a lot of movies beyond your normal set. Start acquiring a taste for films with deeper character and emotional complexity.

Do this in life with your experiences and relationships.

What will happen is you’ll be deeply moved by something you relate to in a film. And that will drive you to ask how’d they do that.

If you don’t feel anything profound when Ferris holds back Cameron in that scene, any kind of meta-analysis is going to have an opposite effect to your overall goal.

Not disputing that - but I fear that allowing private/venture capital to intervene will further solidify existing discrimination issues in the long term, even if it may show quick improvements short term.
Have you looked into CPTSD? Some people are able to hold it together for a long time but eventually the mind starts to fray and focussing becomes almost impossible because the chaos catches up with you... or me in that case.
It feels so narrow, almost like the author hasn't met enough people in their life.

People get grammar wrong all the time for many different reasons that are not always "logical": tiredness, loss of focus, focus elsewhere (on the actual content, for instance), dys-something, lack of sleep, something else. And for some reasons, it's not always easy to spot our own mistakes when proofreading. But that's a very well-known fact.

I myself make a lot of mistakes when writing even when I'm pretty sensitive to grammar and pretty good at it. And many very clever people don't seem to be wired for liking / being sensitive to grammar as much as I am.

By not hiring people who make grammar mistakes, you are missing out on great people. Your loss, I guess.

I guess it makes sense to hire people able to write well in writing jobs, but even then, if you need error-free texts, the only way is proofreading by other people and good tooling. So… unless the person does a lot of mistakes without being able to fix them… meh?

Also, I very much prefer reading a text full of mistakes but of which I can follow the logic, than an error-free text that I can't follow.

Maybe a better solution is to make society more tolerant to mistakes when reading? Saying this as somebody who' reading is easily disrupted by writing errors in others' writings.

Its a flight planning mystery.

Lets say you are not flying to, but flying by, my hometown airport. You decide arbitrarily to use it as a divert in case of awful weather or engine trouble enroute or you just want a bathroom break (this is more of a Cessna 172 airport than a 747 airport)

I found a cached list of nine current NOTAMs for my home airport. Because its always better to overinform than to underinform, until the system overloads and crashes:

A long ramble that boils down to you can't use one of the IFR plates for a helicopter approach because of (its a very long story but relates to the crane mentioned below)

The modulation level on the closest VOR for identification/verification is low, although in legal tolerance, so you can use it but please stop trying to open the equivalent of a trouble ticket. We know the volume is both technically legal although low and not "turned up all the way". The techs say its safe until new parts arrive.

There's three failed tower lights in the area (three? Supply chain problems? Labor problems? WTF?) and one temporary crane obstruction. The crane is flagged and lit, and could theoretically be 60 ft AGL which is normally below the legal limit but its on airport grounds 0.13 miles away from one runway off to the side, so please try not to hit it. Also please don't bother reporting a crane off to the side of the approach; we know all about it...

Clearance delivery for the "big city" airport nearby has a remote trans/rec site nearby that's broken. Legal coverage is adequate (kind of a RAID array of retrans sites) so please stop reporting the reduced signal strength, we already know.

There's some kind of flood on runway 10 when it very heavily rains; the groundskeepers will fix the drainage problem; the NWS reports 0% chance of rain today so it probably won't be an issue, but don't act all surprised. This is not a NOTAM for groundskeeper work, that would be a separate new NOTAM.
Einstein probably would have made a bad software developer for ifixit. There are many companies who primarily do boring work and do not need brilliant minds, and what they need are merely competent minds in x domains. And I'm not surprised if that also includes native-level {language}.
I would love to see a minInstructGPT or a minRetro, or maybe something that combines instruction and retrieval into a readable codebase!
I get the problem with “I could care less” (taken literally, it’s the opposite of what they meant), but what’s wrong with “on accident”? It’s just an arbitrary convention that the common expression is “by accident”, and the other one makes sense by being parallel to “on purpose”.

Edit: also “on command”, “on request”, “on occasion”.
The nudge when leaving a lane is annoying and something I turn off. Going near / over the lane lines happens inadvertently from time to time while driving and the nudge often catches me by surprise. I worry it might cause me to instinctively pull the wheel back too hard by mistake causing an accident.
Interesting, but this only admits 32-bit floats.

The original idea behind NaN-tagging is to overlap pointer representation with 64-bit floats.
Oh it's far more than that. Giant volcanic eruptions have been responsible for non negligible reductions in global temperatures due to reducing the sunlight which hits earth via scattering and other effects due to the pollution.

The core finding in the article is: for 15% of people antidepressants provided large benefits independent of the placebo effect.

What this suggests to me is the syndrome we call "depression" has multiple root causes, and current antidepressant medication treats at least one of them, but not all of them. Identifying those causes and finding ways to test for them could bring huge benefits, both in identifying people who would benefit from drugs, and avoiding unnecessary treatments for those who would not.
Why would there be lawsuits? Studies consistently show that antidepressants are statistically better than placebo[1]. Sure, it might not be by much[2] but it's not exactly snake oil either.

I remember writing what I felt was thoughtful essay for a history class I took in first year UNI. I did a lot of research, and being a CS major, I Think I crafted a solid logical argument.

The week after the TA started complaining about people's grammar, specifically saying that you can't communicate you ideas if you can't form grammatically correct sentences. She specifically called out the difference between 'it's' and 'its.'

At that point I knew she was talking about my paper, so I chimed in: "Oh you're talking about my paper!" Sorry about that!

I think this is where CS hurt me, cos we are used to consistent rules. When used like this 's denotes possession: "Dave's car." So I sometimes still over-apply this rule to "it" i.e.: "It's car."

I found the whole exchange peevish, which is why I decided to lean into the critique with the TA in front of everybody. I told her to scan the room and look at all the faces assembled.

I told her that if she only was going to consider an argument valid if the grammar was perfect¹, then she wasn't likely to be pleased. Almost everybody in the room had a different mother language than English, including myself.

...so then you can go reimplementing those standards in 25 different services written in 11 different languages. Sounds like fun!

I don't think it's possible to just write a library/framework that would encapsulate all of those standards and re-use it in different services because, again: different languages.
Yep. All my personal projects I give a name that's related to the subject but will never be a public name. Helps a lot with naming paralysis.
Q: Is there anything like a systems architecture diagram for how NOTAM works? I'm curious about which parts might have failed and what the moving pieces are.
My understanding is that In any connector there are contacts and pins, the pins move a little each time the connector is engaged and disengaged making the pins eventually fail (or they could become damaged). In lightning connections the pins are on the phone, contacts on the cable, making the phone a potential failure point. In usb c the pins are in the cable, the contacts are in the phone, making the most vulnerable part of the connection in the easily replaceable cable (not the expensive to repair phone)…
I got tricked into following a standard (something something about data) and had read their github issues for 2 years! Omg such a waste of time they barely ship anything. Yes, they also write mediocre (or terrible) codes. I have to stop whining I'm getting mad .. was losing my years.
Can't believe they're putting `class Meta` at the bottom of models.
> At that point, you've just reinvented CSS classes.

Sort of, except instead of context switching between CSS, HTML, JS and your programming language, you can now remove the CSS entirely. Less context switching is good.

I'm a Tailwind fan and I don't see a problem with that pattern for some cases. Obviously there are better ways to organize that should be preferred in general, but it's fine to do that here and there.
How many projects have you starred and how many have you cloned?

Whilst starring is simpler, the incentive is much lower than that of cloning. Especially for projects you just want to use and not contribute to or follow.

In my many years of work, i have only starred less than 50 repos. I am sure i have cloned more than a thousand.

The MBE tests a generic version of state law that reflects the majority rule in the states or model codes such as the Model Penal Code or UCC. (It also tests the federal rules of civil procedure and evidence.) The law of all states except Louisiana is based on English common law, and so the MBE reflects that. But it is not a test of 18th century English common law. For example the criminal law questions reflect the model penal code which was developed in the 1960s.
> Because I guarantee that whatever language and toolset you are using now, you'll need to be able to switch at some point in your career.

Yeah, but the motivation to learn Perl 5 as your next language is about as wise as learning COBOL as your next language.

That's probably why parent is finding it hard to get his developers to work on it - lots of effort for negative gain[1]. Anyone wanting to learn Perl 5 in 2023, for no additional money, is probably legitimately crazy.

I don't understand why you don't see the problem that parent has - no one wants to learn Perl 5 because it is a dead-end, and takes up energy that would otherwise be spent moving your career forward.

[1] The opportunity cost is immense - the time used to learn Perl 5 enough to maintain the legacy code is time that could have been used to learn a current language that results in a payoff.

I think the problem with microservices is the same as the problem with OO programming (and I say this as a pure OO Rubyist) ... what you are doing is shifting the complexity out of your code, where at least it's under source control and (hopefully) readable. And moving it into the order and timing of the interactions between your services/objects - which isn't readable unless you start hunting through log files.

So as a Ship-of-Theseus question: how traditional is the (post Vatican II) Church?

If I am understanding de Maistre correctly, he would consider Francis to be part of tradition, for that is the whole point of not being bound to ink (as the protestants err) ... and this despite the fact that the catechism resembles nothing so much to an outsider as a Napoleonic-style civil code*: eg, https://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P8M.HTM

(otoh, I doubt de Maistre would approve of the 15 commandments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXeTsWGPT0w )

* but how long has the catechism been presented in this form? does the resemblance go in the opposite direction?
