True, if it really is social interaction. But especially on Twitter (when I still bothered using it), I saw so many stream-of-consciousness dumping of thoughts on there, which mostly only managed to gather a few irrelevant likes, that I seriously wonder whether the poster really gets anything out of it, or is just used to shouting out every little thought that they have into the void.

This also goes for answers to tweets, where even on highly technical, niche topics, a pretty large share of the replies seem either performative ("I'm going to ask a question to impress OP, the answer does not really matter!"), or useless (some tired meme, if it was ever funny), or just plain nonsense ("I don't really understand the technical matter behind that, but here's some nonsensical technical question that seems vaguely related").

I think in face-to-face social situations, most people would be much better at weighing whether their interjection is worth the effort and the attention.
I would expect nothing less of him than to give a topic a great deal of thought and devise a principled and rational solution.

I am, however, reminded of a quote from Peter Drucker: “There is nothing quite so useless as doing with great efficiency something that should not be done at all.”

I’m not picking nits regarding the overall proposal. I’m questioning the judgement that concluded/rationalized “on by default” is the right thing to do.

Also not “cancelling” at the moment, either, but definitely reassessing my future language choices and taking a more critical appraisal of Go’s direction/choices. This isn’t really an isolated incident, and trust has accumulated some dents.
Probably not because of Bing's most recent moves, but inevitably, yes -- depending on your definition of "about to" and your definition of "end".

Search in general, and specifically Google search, depends on Adwords for revenue similar to how newspapers used to depend on classified ads. Once ChatGPT.next or something similar removes the opportunity to display ads that people will click on, search will face a similar crisis of revenue to newspapers. Maybe Google will figure out the economics of the new landscape, but it certainly won't hold the same position of prominence in the internet at large as it does now.
Where does TypeScript fit into this? It's a wildly successful language from Microsoft that's also interpreted but doesn't use the CLR.

Disclaimer: I work at Microsoft, but not in the Developer Division.
Lol have you ever been to a farm? Farmers go to social events, visit friends, etc just like anyone else. Most of them laughed at lockdown rules and kept living their lives just as before.
They just added a new limit on the number of times you can tweet per day (2400 tweets).

Wiki Data runs a sparql endpoint and I think this integrates with Wikipedia. Not the most popular thing in the world but it is not fringe technology.
The solution is to produce less of it. Any other solution unless there is a way to decompose something back into useful molecules is just a stay of execution.
Natto with dashitsuyu sauce isn't too bad. Still not something I'd gobble down, but maybe as a side dish.
I think privacy laws only apply to things that “process” PII. Accepting a network connection is not, in and of itself, considered to process PII.
It's not a straw man. People really do say these things. They complain that the existence of lots of configuration menus and options means that they MUST go through all these menus and configure everything themselves. Believe it or not. I've seen it time and time again, for over a decade, every time there's an argument of Gnome vs. KDE.
Do you think he was on garden leave? Some kind of non-compete?
> So what they are doing now is putting plastic waste into PLASTIC ROADS, and calling this "recycling".

That's why it's not really called "recycling" but downcycling. It does not re-enter the "cycle". It just goes in a different (and arguably worse) landfill.

The argument for recycling is also not usually that landfills grow, but that stuff on landfills is not used for new things and the materials that are now missing have to be covered by oil, mining, etc, all the stuff "environmentalists" worry about.
Always changing. I am 25, so far I have lived in 4 different countries, have dabbed into different things (went to law school in my home country, learned a second (and third) language the hard way, have had 2 children with 2 different women, learned how to code on my own and now I am learning mathematics). The thing is that there are endless new things to try, so keep trying new things.

It is a little bit f**d up because I don't have any stability, but I do have a constant source of novelty.
It is pretty fun. I've reached lv10 so far. Good job !
During the pandemic, I started taking drives and walks and drives to take walks, often to mundane places. Three years later, the novelty has worn off so I take multi-day drives. So I learned it's important for me to get out often, in whatever way I can.
A line no one like to hear, and I wouldn't say that in general about fraud.

This is in the context of babies. Babies are expensive. Presumably, immigrants NEED more help than the general population with friends and family. Presumably they HAVE more babies.

Put the two together. Need more assistance, have more babies = more fraud.

It's why I also said it has nothing to do with race. Class and income would lead AI to the same conclusions.
Same thing on Mastodon, which I tried for a month or so. It seems every single profile you open some of the claims you mention are there, followed by disabled, and a bunch of (self-diagnosed?) mental illnesses.

It's like they're collecting pokemons. And it's not used as a list of characteristics, it's their "identity" and an accomplishment. It is center to every single thing they say, whom they associate with, etc.
I don't know enough about the topic to judge most of what you've said, but I can appreciate something about your final point and something you suggested in a later comment: most people feel anxious about meeting someone, going to a new place, interviewing, presenting in public, etc. Or they put off work without a deadline. These are common and largely modern problems.

We might be able to revise society/expectations to address this, separately to how we diagnose/label problems.
Yeh, I was skeptical of your comment but I checked the article and video and they are utterly pointless. No substantiation that any 3rd party is actually contacted (other than your ISP for resolving DNS). It would have taken literally seconds to demonstrate actual connections being made. For all I know, this is clickbait/misinformation - the author(s) made it impossible for me to know otherwise.
Unity is moving to .NET 5+ and, if I remember their documentation correctly, the hold up is entirely on their side and not due to the .NET runtime not being cross platform enough.

I hope no one actually trusts that for real answers, just based on what we've seen it try to do already.
I think I would be very skeptical that this was actually written by Seymour Hersh. This Substack was created today. There's no previous history on it. I can't find any credible evidence that this is actually Seymour Hersh.

If it's not Seymour, it sure is very effective propoganda.

Does anyone see any proof that this is indeed written by the claimed author?
That should not worry anybody though, the fabrication process is at least as dangerous. I've worked a lot with various kinds of epoxy (and yes, also to make windmill blades) and reading the MSDS on your typical resin is enough to make you wonder if you even want to use this stuff at all.
Rather than start a new thread, I'll just mention that Twitter revised its API policy changes (the relevance to this thread should be obvious): https://twitter.com/TwitterDev/status/1623467615539859456

Key points:

- Free API continues until Feb 13 instead of sunsetting tomorrow

- $100 paid tier grants access to Ads API, which is where promotion and scheduling of Tweets happen. So this will become a necessary but minor expense for brands, influencers, and third parties that cater to them.

- Free API access will continue to be available but users will be limited to 1500 tweets/month.

This actually strikes me as a rational compromise that will bring in a few million $ a month in revenue with significantly disrupting the development/research/comedy bot ecosystem. Bad for spammers and shit-tier brands, both of whom deserve to suffer anyway.
> Well, as far as I understand, the fork forgejo is done by codeberg [1] so I see it as relevant. Wasn't that the commotion you meant?

Forgejo was started independent of Codeberg - Codeberg later became the project's "custodian".

From the Forgejo site:

> we are very proud that Codeberg e.V. has decided to become our project’s custodian. Codeberg e.V. is a non-profit organization with a stellar reputation, that is dedicated to the success of the Free Software movement. They provide software development services to FOSS projects at Codeberg.org. They are rapidly growing and hosting more than 50,000 code repositories for about 40,000 people. Not only will Codeberg take care of the Forgejo domain names and trademarks, but the organization will use Forgejo as the basis for their own services, instead of Gitea.

> Can you elaborate?

I just mean that Git is a distributed model that supports multiple remotes. Having different hosts for different things is not a use-case that's unsupported or difficult with the current software.
well, the world is by definition mundane. travel bores me. the excitement i have found in it is starting new projects (not neccesarily computer-based) and particularly new emotional relationships.
I think the comment may have been edited ;)

Anyway, yes, that's all true. Excel, Sheets, JavaScript numbers, Java doubles, Python floats, and so on all work this way. That's why I asked how switching spreadsheet implementations solved the problem.
No, they can ration the supply and charge more. Same leverage, increased sense of urgency due to the uncertainty about supply.

It just didn’t work.
There seem to be two different directions for innovation here.

The first is a little more mundane: LLM embeddings. OpenAI currently offers an API that turns sentences into coordinates for a point in some 1536-dimensional conceptual space such that two points are close together if they are conceptually close together. This is insanely powerful. For example, you can generate captions for a bunch of images and store the embeddings for them. Then, you can look for a "picture of a rabbit eating a carrot" by turning that phrase into a 1536-dimensional point and looking for the nearest points around it. Basically, it blows open search technology for everyone. You no longer have to deal with synonyms, idiomatic phrases that mean similar things, misspellings etc - the problems you'd run into when trying to implement simple text search using traditional techniques. It all gets simplified to generating coordinates in some hyperspace and looking for nearest neighbors. This is a total game changer.

The second direction is ChatGPT. Sure, if you want to read a detailed analysis of the demographic situation in China, you'd prefer an article written by an expert. You would still use a search engine, pick a search result and do things the way you do them today. However, there's an entire collection of things that can be answered directly by ChatGPT. For example "how many mins should I hard boil an egg" or "Can I take NyQuil when I'm stoned" or anything else where you really just want a single sentence answer. Today, you launch a browser, search for what you want, skip past the first 10 advertisements, look for a site that seems reasonably reputable, click through all the GDPR warnings, scroll past the banner ads and the SEO optimizing bullshit text to find that one sentence that you wanted all along. Or, you could ask ChatGPT and get an answer instantly. (assuming chatGPT is good enough eventually).

It's hard to predict which of these two technologies will disrupt the current status quo in search. Neither might. But we haven't ever been this close to a level playing field in search since the 1990s. The excitement is hard to resist.
It's boring tech but it gets the work done. Recently, I have found joy deploying Lambdas using only Dagger.

You missed the point there. Going though hardships and injuries (to an extent) builds mental resilience and the ability to accept risks without succumbing to irrational panic.
Plastic tax.

Tax the amount of plastic used in any transaction.

It would be amazing how much less plastic would be delivered if it cost something.

Plastic accounting - force companies to report on the plastic they buy or sell.
Spontaneous trips into nature. Doesn’t have to be long (20 minute hike/walk in a forest + any commute time involved twice a week is better than none)

If you live near any national forests (U.S.), they’re great for this. Something about being alone & surrounded by trees/greenery where you can’t see for endless miles feels more refreshing than other options.

New hobbies outside of your typical comfort zone/interests that force some sort of socialization & which you plan to never be anything more than a beginner/novice at are also good, mostly in the sense you’ll be exposed to others you’d probably never speak to in life. Variety is the spice of life they say.
> The point I was making is that what was once called .NET Core is now just .NET

Right, IMO it's important to use these official correct labels when correcting someone.

"Dotnet" looks like an unintentional Autocomplete error. The executable and repo names use "dotnet" since using ".NET" or previously ".NET Core" would be awkward and unconventional.

I'm assuming "Golang" is used because "Go" is a generic ungoogleable word, any language without this issue e.g. Python, Java, Kotlin wouldn't need to make such concessions.

Oh yeah, I dared to view the video and, lo and behold, the last 1.5 minutes of the video is an advertisement. Video content may as well not exist - I view it begrudgingly if no alternative is available.
For web apps, why use two languages if you can get away with only one? unfortunately, is hard to beat JS/TS here.
I highly recommend either Grails, Spring Boot or Micronaut. There are several others, but they lack documentation, has confusing documentation or is over-engineered. Of these 3, Grails is convention over configuration, and the two others configuration over convention. Micronaut is the most performant and use least memory.

Grails has GSP templates, while Spring Boot and Micronaut supports several, but I prefer either Thymeleaf or JTE templates.

Grails and Spring uses Hibernate, which is fantastic to work with. Micronaut has its own orm, which is really fast. In Grails Hibernate is abstracted into something named GORM, Spring Boot's Hibernate abstraction is named Spring Data. Spring Data is more polished than GORM. They're both very well documented and easy to use.

They are all very easy to use with other excellent Java tools/libraries, Kafka, Pulsar, Neo4j and so on.

If time to market is your thing, pick Grails. (This is what I care most about)

If performance (web scale) is your thing, pick Micronaut.

If best documented is most important, pick Spring Boot.

Grails is an abstraction of Spring Boot, basically you can do everything Spring Boot can. But Grails makes Spring Boot a lot easier, especially for inexperienced developers.
This is stupid in so many ways but the worst thing is the idea doesn't even work - barter economies have existed since the dawn of civilisation and children are pretty used to them too, with trading cards, collectibles etc. All the child has to do is buy something of value they are "allowed" and then barter that for sweets with a friend whose money isn't restricted in that way.
well, we are all very nice people - except when it comes to the beef of the matter (i mean they all tend to bite when their basic interests are at stake)
The former and the latter seem like two sides of the same coin.
My wife and I felt this. Started doing "wildcard Wednesdays" where we'd do something funky/offbeat/random on Wednesday nights when we lived in NYC. It was a blast and we still look back fondly upon them, but have kids now so it's a little tougher to do spontaneous fun things. Having kids sort of takes away this feeling though not entirely.
I've deployed it with the pretty minimum configs, I've wrote a consumer with the minimum python example, and a writer with the minimum python example.

It all just sort of works, what am I missing beyond this ? Is this the basics ? :)

I saw consumer groups and whatnot.. but didn't bother. FWIW this is actually running a lot of processes.. and it all just works.. also using Sentry to send errors/exceptions so I know when the consumers or the producer are not working
A (deceased) friend of mine had an even better idea: resource extraction tax. Never mind VAT but instead tax for the use of virgin resources and leave the rest untaxed. The recyclers would put the miners out of business.
A2DP AAC support was my reason to upgrade. I hate taskbar.
4chan, because they have the right attitude towards mods and jannies.
Sure, MS is pushing data to all these tracking and marketing companies who are collecting and storing it all from literally billions of users, but that isn't a problem because obviously that data is clearly worthless and so it doesn't matter at all to anyone. Companies just love collecting, exchanging, and keeping massive amounts of useless information. Nothing to see here!
If you have any quantitative data on that, even anecdotal, I’d be very interested! I’m curious to see if my 300,000 number holds up
Ask HN: Can we enable reply links during noprocrast cool-down?
I'm a big fan of noprocrast. 20 minute visit time, 660 minute cool-down. My basic usage of the site is to scan the front page or two once a day, and pop whatever threads seem interesting to me into new tabs. I glance at this content through the day, or, more often, I close out the tabs without really looking at them closely.

Occasionally I (believe I) have something useful to add to a comment thread, but my reply attempts are met with the noprocrast nag screen.

Thing is, at least for me, writing a reply isn't the target behavior for noprocrast. Refreshing for updates is. EG, the harmful behavior is compulsive read refreshes, not writing. If my experience is typical, then allowing the reply link during noprocrast would be a sensible default. If my experience is atypical, then it might be a nice configuration option.

Just think! You'd get to read more of my wonderful comments!
The Guardian did not issue a correction about Hersh's words. There was nothing to correct about them: the quote from Hersh is accurate. The Guardian issued a footnote/amendment (in their words), and here it is from the Guardian that you're referring to, as context:

> This article was amended on 1 October 2013. The original text stated that Hersh sold a story about the My Lai massacre to the New York Times for $5,000 when in fact it was the Times of London. Hersh has pointed out that he was in no way suggesting that Osama bin Laden was not killed in Pakistan, as reported, upon the president's authority: he was saying that it was in the aftermath that the lying began. Finally, the interview took place in the month of July, 2013.

Note that from this footnote that Seymour Hersh does not admit that he misspoke. He claims that he never suggested that Osama bin Laden was not killed. This is plainly a straight lie, given his claim that the White House's statement did not contain one word that was true.

If he wants to state that he misspoke in this interview: fine, then he should do it. But to state that he didn't make this claim is itself misinformation.

Edit: You're accusing me of bad faith. Can you please explain how my argument is deceptive or a lie? If anything, Seymour Hersh has acted in bad faith in this ordeal, lying about his own statements. And people should be suspect of him for that.
When I sold my steam deck controller recently it was for I believe at or slightly higher then retail price. For a used one with no box on a local resale market. I asked the guy why he was picking it up, and he said something a long the lines of "It's the best and they're getting rarer" The steam controller still has fans.

2022, interesting, thanks for sharing
I tried it out and was generally happy with the results. Unfortunately there is no way to share my entire catalog of decades of pictures without giving out full admin access and I'm not comfortable doing that. I can share bits of my collection in a satisfactory manner but that does not meet my needs.

I'll also add that some of the classification was amusing, but I suppose as time goes on it will get better.
> I think most teenagers are simply stressed from the constant work that's necessary for the college admissions process.

Or at least they're more stressed due to changes in the school system due to NCLB. The timing would be approximately correct for that also.

Monarchy uses the press bans all the time to hide internal family drama. All the press bans related to UK government, for example, ban of satirical references to government, are done in the name of enabling constitutional monarchy. If not for the monarchy, why else would the people limit their own freedoms for the sake of the government?

As a fellow 25 year old that doesn’t think I’m boring whatsoever… I really hope your comment becomes the top comment of discussion on this thread.

I don’t mean to directly insult, but I recoiled while reading your comment, and that was before I got to:

> have had 2 children with 2 different women

Of course, you are aware of this:

> It is a little bit f*d up

But are you aware these children will grow up without fathers close to their lives (presumably). Of all the things to contribute to a thread about adding more pizazz to one’s day, this testimony of yours has blown my mind.
Because perf was super important for a spreadsheet in the 90s, and now back compatibility is super important.

You do not want your numbers changing in the next version of Excel.
I also self-host this together with Tailscale. The UI is not very polished but certainly very usable already.

My personal journey was to get rid of my dependency on iCloud Photos. I managed to export two-decades worth of pictures and videos using a separate tool (https://github.com/RhetTbull/osxphotos) and then import into PhotoPrism. Coming from Apple Photos, the UI is a bit lackluster but the freedom of owning the entire data more than makes up for it.
Yes, negative film is very tolerant of overexposure in a predictable way.

But I never shoot low-light scenes, and as far as I'm aware the inverse is true in circumstances where you're trying to extract as much as possible from limited light, ie. digital is more flexible when underexposure is a concern.
This is just wrong. There is all kinds of commercial speech, especially around advertisement, that is banned before any transaction is agreed to.
