It looks like you posted a strident reply and then replaced it with something anodyne. Given that people have already replied, that strikes me as both rude and confusing. Just so everybody knows the edit history, here is your original comment:

>At least it got flagged!

Ah yes, censorship is good when it is an opinion you do not share, right? That I was flagged is wrong on the part of hacker news, and whoever got that ball rolling.

>All moral codes have a "coercive" element to them

Coercion is good too. Are you sure you're not the baddie here? Are you really sure?

>as a thoroughgoing nerd, I spent a lot of my childhood getting shit on for being different, so I'm happy to help make space for different kinds of difference.

Another popular strawman. I stated explicitly "live how you want" and yet you assert that I'm against difference or outcasts. You lied.

>trans folks have a pretty hard role in life

I'm speaking specifically of custom pronouns. If you cut off your junk and wear a dress, I think its rude not to call you "she". It is a shitty kind of idea that encourages people to introduce new error modes into their relationships, and the bitter irony is you think you're doing people a favor by doing that.
I have a vague memory of someone or some article saying there’s a way to get from lead to gold if you really wanted to with some combination of available nuclear tech, but it’d be completely absurd/ludicrously expensive (I think the context was somebody humoring what would be needed for atomic level assembly/star trek replicator stuff). I assume the same would apply to iron.

Offering to share it privately, if specific conditions are met is very different from having already shared it, or publicly releasing it.
The idea is you get the content for free if you also get the ads. Why do you think publishers don't expose an API client that serves their content for free?

The issue is why can't Twitter charge for tweets via their API, but offer them for free in a browser if they are served alongside ads. Perhaps their own internal research suggests so few people would be willing to pay that it wouldn't be worth maintaining the API, but it would be nice to hear more info about this.
In early high school in the 90s, I got my parents to buy me an (expensive) copy of Chaos and Fractals: New Frontiers of Science by Peitgen, Jurgens, Saupe. The end of each chapter was a Basic program for calculating and displaying various fractal/chaos theory images, and that's what got me started programming.

It also included a bunch of mathematics involving "neighborhoods", meaning the set of all points within a distance of an arbitrarily small epsilon from some point X. Although I never did any of the math problems from the book, that early exposure to epsilon made calculus vastly easier to understand, and for that, it's close to my heart.
"Thriving" is a stronger word than I'd use. NXP still manufactures a limited number of ColdFire microcontrollers, which are loosely based on the 68k architecture. But they're listed on NXP's web site under "legacy MPUs/MCUs", and many of the parts are 10+ years old and NRND. It's pretty obvious that they don't plan on continuing the product line much further than required for support lifecycles.

Free elemental hydrogen isn't common. Most are stuck as water, or inside hydrocarbons in the first place (see natural gas), and using those sources basically defeats the purpose.

So therefore, it would take more energy to free that hydrogen from water than the recovered output would give you - which is fine, as oil is a dense storage of energy, and current technology is geared towards using it. However, it makes more sense to directly utilize the electricity that is expended freeing hydrogen in the first place.
On the other hand, search in Photos on iPhone is _scary_ good.

Searching for “baseball” will return pictures of a baseball, a team playing baseball, photos that were taken at the location of a baseball stadium, AND photos that literally have the word baseball in text somewhere within the photo.

Ah cool! So like, if I used some Open Telemetry libs for more manual instrumentation, would it "play nice" with the automated instrumentation? Like say:

- I instrument a Scala app with Odigos, and it handles say 90% of the metrics, trace spans, etc. that I want

- But I want to add some extra spans, extra metrics

- If I then explicitly add OpenTelemetry libs as dependencies, will they conflict with the automated OpenTelemetry instrumentation (e.g. no "JVM dependency hell" issues like "I manually add 2.x of this lib, but then Odigos monkey patches it to 1.x, breaking my manual instrumentation")? And is there a way for the manual instrumentation to "play nice" with the automated instrumentation, e.g. I choose destinations in the Odigos UI for where to send traces, metrics, etc., is there a way for me to sort of have my manual instrumentation automatically target the same destinations?

Obviously you guys are an early stage startup, if there's no clear answer on hand for some of these questions, I'd just have to try and see, that's totally fair too :) I do love this idea of crazy easy 1-click style instrumentation.

> When interests converge you don’t need to gather around a table to set the agenda, as George Carlin used to say.

Sooo.... what is this converged interest of the MSM? Why do some people feel so threatened by it, why do they hate it so much? It's unclear to me what the actual accusation is: the term MSM feels like a shibboleth, an accusatory phrase that doesn't inform, but only keys in those who already feel a certain way. But it's unclear to most I think what basis this hatred & disgust stems from.

I think most of us can broadly agree that a lot of news media is not super fantastic, is somewhat problematic for a variety of reasons. But it feels like there is a radical & extremist faction that has frankly incendiary opinions about almost all media is in cahoots, is diffusing some unseen truth, without anyone ever pointing to or saying what that truth is. (I want to give it more credit, not be uncharitable, but: sometimes the unseen truth feels like it's just whatever D.J.T. says the truth is, facts be damned.)

I can broadly allow that most media is to some degree a tool of a capitalist system, that there is some influence from those at the top on what happens at the generally well-meaning-ish news-rooms in the mass-audience moderate, left, and right leaning markets. It's been a bit distasteful to me across my whole life that there's kind of a simple shallowness, a simple-minded bland Americanness that hides the darker substances, but it's never felt particularly conspiratorial or vile, more a product of what the market wants, a product of the mass-market nature.

But the various news medias recognizably have varying flavors & textures, and it's certainly not something I could lump into a single evil category; there are clearly many involved, aware, caring people who have a chance to report the simple truth of what's happening & what's going on. And there's no clear signs that there is a concerted converged interest- there feels like real dynamic tensions expressed, many sides with different stakes. It's hard for me to imagine what vector might guide & direct so many different view points, hard for me to imagine the specter of convergence lying to us always. It feels like a dark fantasy to think that way, driven by dark forces, to fabricate an image of media that is all somehow so very very fallen. And to so deliberately imprecisely never say how or why or what the real threat is: to only allude, in broad strokes, to convergence: it feels like propaganda, a desire to believe something beyond the simple reality of what is known.
I remember a time when social media was like they describe. It was when I was in college and we used it to share photos of each other drunk at parties. It turned into a disaster the moment people decided it was also a good place to discuss news and politics.

If you want to recreate "fun social media", focus on the things that made it fun in the first place and remove everything else. And you'll be too late, because plenty of apps (TikTok the most notable one, and others like BeReal, Gas, Snapchat) are doing that very well today.

If the goal is to create a "fun" political discussion forum, well then best of luck with that. They are going to need a lot more than just goals and prayers.

My understanding is that comments and submissions can be flagged to death by users, but "hellbanning" -- that is, marking a user such that all of their future comments and submissions are dead by default -- is a manual action by dang or other moderators.
What you need to do is codify this imbalance in ownership. If you're bringing more to the table you get more.

It begs the question: what's the other person for? As that other person does more they might get more...or they might not.

One thing I've learned in tech is that sales is much more important than product. There are people who can sell stuff that isn't built. There are even more people that can build stuff that doesn't sell. Don't be that guy.
This is a great book. Unlike any other book I've read. It helps with defining a process that I think every person working in a technical field uses one way or another. It helps you develop a way of thinking that reduces anxiety when you are stuck and helps develop paths to get unstuck. This book made me love math and I wish more people knew about it. It's also never too early or too late to pick it up.

> By that time Linux will have replaced more and more subsystem with Rust already.

Honestly, this is a bold prediction, maybe a foregone conclusion to some, but not everybody. It completely remains to be seen.

> It is nonsense to want a new, unproved kernel to provide that level of safety out of a language that has reached 1.0 not very long ago.

Perhaps - but the Rust community has been very vocal for a very long time about how much of an improvement over C/C++ it was already before it reached 1.0. I'm not asking for an "enterprise-grade" kernel yet, just signs of prototypes starting to emerge and the community gathering round them.
I realise I worded that badly in my initial post.

New C/C++/asm based hobby kernels are started (and abandoned) everyday on /r/osdev. Nowhere near as many in Rust by a wide margin. Instead the Rust community seems to have placed all their bets on an "outside in" rewrite of the Linux kernel in Rust. While I think this may well be great for Linux in the long term, its a little dissapointing that there is not more momentum for "from scratch" projects yet. Even Linux started as "as hobby, not big and professional like GNU". Which leads to my next point ...

> Personally, I think Linux is plenty good enough, but we have seen the best UNIX can offer. It's time to move on and try something new.

Don't disagree at all. That's why I'm surprised there aren't more up and coming projects in Rust with brand new designs to the degree that there are in C/C++. That's all. Maybe they are there, and I'm just not seeing them.
> You’d have to agree that the current owners are “controlling the defacto public square” a magnitude less than the previous ones.

I think they are both controlling, but yes, the current regime appears much more viewpoint neutral.

> I don’t think asking a tiny % of twitter users to use their products interfaces instead of third parties is very controlling, but shadow banning, and censoring topics is incredibly.

Disagree here, because tools are built upon this. So, it might be more accurate to say Twitter 3rd party Devs & Twitter Ecosystem Devs, not users.

I think the viewpoint controlling and censoring is more so; HN does some of the same things I am afraid to see (yes, to a much smaller audience, but same tactics).

Average of X > average of Y fits “a collection of quantitative data”

For more detail, I have taken statistics, even tutored PHD students.

Showing your work is required if the answer is 4.415 or more than average. A sample refers to a single element, statistic encompass a sample, a parameter covers to the full population.

You will often hear statistics communicated as something like “more than four times as likely” and assume it’s referring to 4<X<5 but they can also be used in cases when a measurement exceeded the range at which you can quantify it. As in you checked the rain gauge and it was full, in such cases the only option is to use > X.

One of his conditions is whoever takes the CEO spot has to invest their entire life savings into it. I doubt Musk will find many worthwhile candidates willing to make their entire financial life subject to his impulsive behavior.
I think this is an underappreciated viewpoint. Survivalists simply look like well guarded stores for everyone else, and sooner or later there's something missing which demands barter or cooperation with those outside the fence. It's like settling for the lowest achievable short term peak for a small team rather than boosting the entire surface to a lower maximum of wider reach, or some gradient to a higher peak closer to normality.

I won't be storming the bunkers, I'll be asking scientists at the university campus what support role lets them get on with highly productive labour, or helping at a hospital or sewage farm.

Looking at postwar recovery in Germany, food for labour cleared the bombed streets (mainly women too) and we'll see a lot of that, followed by more complex labour. Hunkering behind a wall with ammo and batteries won't get there. They're going to have to come to an accommodation with society at large and assuming guns equals boss is silly. Boss of what? A slave culture? The city state next door looks better and better.
> Projects in C/C++ seem to be making much faster progress eg. SerenityOS than the Rust community. What is holding Rust back in this area? This is a genuine question, not intending to inflame the discussion.

I think one element is manpower. I don't know how many people are at good enough with Rust to write some kernel code, but I'm almost certain that it's way less than the people that can write kernel code in C or C++. C is 51 years old, C++ 38 years old, Rust 12 years old. It is possible for an enterprise-grade, production ready kernel written in Rust to exist. That still leaves the task of actually writing it.
This is finally the Windows experience that developers wanted. I thought that OneGet (PackageManagement) was going to be the way almost a decade ago, but that fizzled out. The guy that wrote that one seems to be totally on board with this though: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/discussions/186.

I think that the guy that wrote OneGet had it mostly right, but it seems (as a layman who knows nothing about Microsoft) that he simply did not have the political power to make it actually get picked up by the higher ups at Microsoft and that someone else did which is why it took an extra half-decade to actually happen.

I do wonder what would have happened in my career had OneGet actually taken off . Previously I used to work exclusively on Windows, and I now work exclusively on non-Windows machines. At the time that I switched developer experience was one of my primary frustrations - and lack of a proper Homebrew/apt/yum like experience on Windows was a non-insignificant part of that. Chocolatey was OK at the time, but paled in comparison to its MacOS and Linux equivalents.

Helps that the posts on HN are largely technical so discussions are generally politically neutral, but any time a political post that isn't even remotely relevant to tech or VC shoots to the top, the worst takes and sometimes downright bigotry will break loose and flood the comments. Most of them do get caught eventually with downvotes/flags/moderator action, but often the damage has been done as they remained visible for far too long.
This may sound odd, but: Paper.

If the day comes where you have to call an ambulance because you feel like you have a heart attack, you should not have to rely on your OS not being busy with rebooting for updates, or the cloud not having locked you out of your account with the files, or any other of the shenanigans computers do, or yourself still being physically capable of entering your password.

And even if all of the above work fine - then what? Do you think the EMTs will wait for your printer to boot and spew out its ink?

Create a physical folder called "For emergencies", put all the relevant documents for doctors in it, nothing else.

If an emergency happens, shove it into the hands of the EMTs, done.

(And ideally have two copies of this folder in case they lose the one you hand out.)

George left cars out because the metropolis is so developed that cars are unnecessary. Plus, in a mass surveillance state, no cars makes more sense. There are planes that go on raids, right? How do you get things onto planes? He did not mention any wheel barrows explicitly in the book, neither. So chew on that. But cars are specifically a good question because cars use precious fuel that would go to the wars. Plus, cars are a source of independent journeying and thinking, which is not what mini is about. In theory, the top officials of the party should all have cars.
