It’s nuts to me how loud public space music is by default these days (at least here in america.) We stereotype Californian cities like SF as being more health conscious, but even the Academy of Sciences puts their DJ every Thursday evening in a concrete and glass box with the volume cranked to instantly-dangerous levels. Like you I’ve been especially astounded by the cavalier attitude to audio safety at events targeted towards children, but imo even many bars and adult oriented venues are simply not being at all considerate of the immediate risks to their patrons from the music volume. Phonobar recently opened in SF as an “audiophile bar” and the listening room volume is usually so loud your hearing would almost instantly be damaged from stepping inside…so of course you aren’t hearing any “audiophile” quality sound even with earplugs.

At this point I just bring my earplugs everywhere, but everywhere I look around and I’m surrounded by people my age who are actively destroying their hearing and seem oblivious to it.

It seems like there should be a lot more public health education about hearing loss. That’s why it was especially disappointing to see CalAcademy not even have earplugs for sale when they operate as a music venue, along with the plainly unsafe (and poorly mixed, frankly) PA system volume.
It's reasonable to point out that even though they're both gas engines, one produces an absurd multiple of the more volatile pollutants of the other.
But what you call promptness is predictability from the PoV of the programmer, no?

I don't think I've mentioned performance anywhere; thanks for the paper I'll take a look.
Plumbers probably know a contractor who can give a deal. I used to know one who let his employees use the business account/discount to build their own house, and employees would help each other build. Many would have traded general labor with the plumber.
Your question, if sincere, communicates some misunderstandings of personal growth and the place of university degrees in that process.

I think which degree program one chooses has little to do with the criteria you listed. "Personal growth," "wisdom," "well-balanced," "clear thinking," "a good life" all describe vague and subjective states or measures. And those states change according to one's situation and over time -- "wisdom" and "good life" don't describe objective static features, only how one subjectively feels at the moment. Choices you make at typical college age -- 18 to 25 -- will affect the rest of your life but in ways you can't predict, and you can't ever know you made the "best" choices. And what makes you happy at 20 years old may not seem like a good decision at 40 years old.

The purpose of a university degree program mainly comes down to profit for the institution, with any education transmitted almost incidental. You have to get an "education" yourself. A school or university can, at best, give you access to resources you otherwise wouldn't have access to, and a credential that intends to prove participation and accomplishment according to a defined curriculum, relative to your classmates. It may also communicate wealthy parents or decades of loan payments.
I'm willing to pay but not $25/month.
That I could see, but I almost always have to close the Substack pop-up before I'm even allowed to read the first paragraph, so that's more of a hypothetical example than a real one.

Also, there are better ways to handle that from the user perspective: inject the subscription form as a static element in between two paragraphs so you don't interrupt me mid-sentence. That way I get my opportunity but I also get to finish your article.
Sure, Zig, Nim, D, Erlang, etc.. could also do this, but Go and Rust are both big enough and just about as fast and low memory as anything that is available.

Java can be faster than Go, but not by much and I've always seen it to use 5-10x the memory.

Scripting languages like Typescript, Python, PHP and Ruby can't hold a candle to the speed of Rust and Go while also using significantly more memory. They also don't natively support multiple cores / threads.

Rust and Go represent the most approachable middle ground on all accounts of familiarity, performance (allocs and calculation speed), and large communities with libraries covering whatever you could want.
No, no, I'm merely being pedantic and correcting your inaccurate characterization of him.

I have no doubt that hubris is a longstanding character defect in his case.

Bitwarden does some of the KDF operations server-side which means that a portion of the password (even if it's been through some KDF operations) is sent to the server.

Windows costs $100 normally.

It costs only $10 when you buy them from a key reseller, for $90 of savings.

There's a lot of loophole that can be afforded in the $90 gulf between the two prices.

Well, you know, except when we look in the forest or upon the course or slopes.

Reddit banter is only visible if you visit Reddit. Otherwise not.
Wow, you're not joking—there are 13 commits where the messages are just "1" or whatever the number is. There's also "w", "w2", and "w3".

I say pictures of cattle mean “oxox” or “oxen” like pictures of Tom Hanks mean “thanks.”
If you have bedbugs (and if you do then I’m so sorry) then I recommend not using the chemical treatments. These supposedly just scatter them everywhere, causing them to spread. The two treatments that work reliably seem to be:

- Whole building heat treatment, but this is the nuclear option as it involves heating the entire building (including cracks and crevices) to 60c

- Repeated steam treatments. Superheated steam kills them on contact, but doesn’t scare them away. Any remaining bugs will gravitate towards sleeping areas and can be got by repeating the steam treatment within a 2 week window which is how long their reproduction cycle takes.

Source: https://www.bed-bugs.co.uk/educational/about-bed-bugs/ I did a lot of research on this topic after an unfortunate encounter with bed bugs while travelling, and this was the most reliable source I could find.

EDIT: the Mark Rober video linked below (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JAOTJxYqh8) also contains much of the same advice.
Nitrogen oxides and VOC/Hydrocarbons along with sunlight form ozone, its doesn't come directly out of the exhaust. Carbureted two-stroke engines emit large quantities of hydrocarbons compared four-stroke even without emissions gear like a cat. This is due to the the intake and exhaust port being open together for a period of time on a two-stroke, certain amount of unburned fuel goes directly out the exhaust, this is why they are so bad. It's the VOC they are emitting that can then form ozone.

Those are a lot of leaps to make about my motivations!
Maybe I'm not in the vast majority of readers here, but I absolutely cannot stand YouTube videos where the creator goes out of their way to be extra corny and silly. Just make the damn video without trying to be funny. Interesting topic, but I couldn't make it more than a minute in the video without being annoyed. Id much prefer a dry scientific paper about bed bugs than sitting thru that.

Are you really not able to think of any dead social networks that deleted all of their content? Hell: Google alone has managed to delete at least two!
Definitely has big "index.old.older.bak_1.bak_2.asp" energy.
This is the same problem that plagued mail servers. It takes so many different components which all have their own configurations to optimize (and memory/cpu footprints) that it ends up being too complex for most people to actually run an instance.

I'm also completely positive that a Go or Rust version on a $5 VPS with an in-memory database model (RocksDB, LevelDB, BadgerDB, etc..) could easily handle hundreds of thousands of users and gigs of content each day. It seems like it would be easy to expand that to a multi-node key-value store like TiDB, CockroachDB, etc.. if you needed to grow beyond a single host.
got any proof of that, or is it just "redneck combustion engine man bad" ?
Sharing and using location are different things. Like I expect to be able to use my address book with my phone app, but the app sharing it seems like a completely different use case.

> But the divide in churches over this has widened as it has gone from pragmatic silence on the issue to churches having to take a side.

The churches that are taking a side loudly now are largely a subset of the ones that have always taken the same side, they just did it more quietly before because all of society and government at all levels were on the same side.

> The past decade or so has seen a lot of ordained ministers change denominations (in both directions) over this issue, churches expelled from denominations, and schisms in denominations itself.

This happened now not because churches only now developed strong views, but because the views before were strong but uncontested. (At the same time, that does make a difference to people who could individually be themselves, but quietly, when the Church wasn’t taking an assertive stand the way it might be now that it feels the broad social order on these issues was under threat.)
No, that's Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.

The movie you pointed to doesn't exist; it's a conspiracy by IMDB and other parties to make you think there really was a Star Trek V, when in fact there was never any such movie. If you believe there was, then you're a crazy person who probably also thinks there were sequels to The Matrix.

I more imagine someone speaking another language, when I break down written phonemes for tokenization purposes.

As a native English speaker who grew up around code-switching Spanish speakers, I often heard speech that sounded really fast.

But I was hearing “hay-un-a-al-pa-ca-per-si-gui-en-do-un tren-de-car-ga”

I heard that as individual tokens, while my friends simply heard “¡There is an alpaca chasing that freight train!”
i personally find it easy to get along with everyone, so long as they just agree to ONLY do things I personally approve of. Why cant everyone be as progressive as me?

Try to quantify the SEO value of the site with free tools like semrush and ahrefs, also factor in some for how much you'd pay to have the website built as is.

Past pageviews don't really count for anything. What the last month's pageview count is is a lot more relevant.

To answer your question more directly, the answer is sometimes yes sometimes no. Sounds lke you might have a yes situation.

Is it (A) in my head, (B) an inevitable stage of all maturing communities, or (C) something else like the state of the world at large?

Answer: D Maybe a little of all of the above.

I find it best to just ignore the votes. I know sometimes people will downvote or flag things I say or submit but I can say or submit those things anywhere else too. Some things will be seen here and some things will be seen elsewhere. I am not going to change the minds of the masses either way. I just share what I think others may find interesting and let them sort it out. If something is too taboo for one audience I share with a different audience. The more provocative topics may be better shared on 4chan assuming one has thick enough skin for the responses. Consequences will never be the same.

This won't help the comments that get flagged but you can ignore the votes on things somewhat with uBlock Origin and adding a custom filter. Addons -> uBlock Origin Preferences -> My Filters, then add something like:

## HN Block Karma View
news.ycombinator.com##.comhead .score:style(overflow: hidden; display: inline-block; line-height: 0.1em; width: 0; margin-left: -1.9em;)

For some of the flagged things one can turn on showdead as others have mentioned. Quite a few people have that enabled.
Yah, you've got it. Nostr is heading in this direction that scuttlebot already achieved (at one moment in time) by eventually developing encryption over a wire and having a sync strategy.

Right now Nostr (mostly) parks everyone's data on the relays without a strategy. On ssb there was a strategy, which was that relays are also friends and they decide what they keep for you. FOAF gossip and replication. I'm sure there's a repo with some old node.js code in it somewhere around here that describes it.

We'll get beyond this, and we're putting together the team to redevelop scuttlebot right now.

If you're interested, hollar. We have no funding.
Fair enough.

I'm British. I've been to Zurich, I've also been to Los Angeles, you could probably put them as being close to diametrically opposite in terms of transport.

I don't really see why they can't both exist. America doesn't have many places like the European capitals, even somewhere like NYC still has pretty wide streets.

I don't personally think that "reducing the amount of driving" in a place that already exists is a justifiable opinion for an individual to have, it's not like we're talking about knife or gun crime here.

A more sensible approach is to increase overall mobility. If that means replacing a lane with
a tram it might make sense. We have a ton of bus lanes here in London and it works well.
That's a really funny set of features. "Love My AI? Pay us to get more! Hate it? Pay us to get rid of it!"

It implicitly acknowledges that it's a bad feature that people might actually pay to get rid of.
Where I live a professional engineer is a legal title that can do anything. You are expected to know your limits, and as an engineer figure out what is right from textbook principals. I know their are professional engineers where I work, I keep thinking i should join them.

Can you send mains power over coax? By code no, but an engineer can do the calculations and sign off and it is legal. Of course if it isn't actually safe the professional engineer is also legally liable in court for deaths.
Lol I think I lost the only 2FA I had stored in Google Auth. It was for a RuneScape account I had for a decade plus, that I had long ago deleted the Gmail for. I had moved everything to another app and that was the only thing remained in Google Auth. It somehow survived transferring phones, too.

I wonder how I’m gonna access that account now? Every time I’ve tried to change the email, I’ve been unsuccessful.
It's not too dangerous, but it can irritate you, particularly if you accidentally inhale it.
I can’t answer for what’s going on in their heads, but why do you immediately assume everyone has good intentions? Maybe they didn’t like the traffic in the bike lane and wanted to move faster, maybe they had a chip on their shoulder, maybe they are simply oblivious to the world around them, I don’t know. I can just say that I could literally turn my head and see dozens of cyclists on the bike lane riding with zero issues. The fact that he couldn’t do the same means the problem is his, not mine and the other hundred+ people they were impeding.

You seem to be missing the entire point. This isn’t about the 999 cyclists that use the lane, as expected; but mostly go unseen. It’s about that 1 cyclist that acts in a completely entitled manner being the one everyone sees.

Just go re-read my original post that you downvoted, I wasn’t blaming cyclists in general. My point was an occasional entitled cyclist (who 100% exists, just like entitled cagers and motorcyclists) gives a bad name to all cyclists because the good ones go mostly unseen.
Years ago, this might have mattered. But I have moved on. Now an authy user, and not sure why that should change.
4090 was just a specific example, you don't have to drop much before die size is much more reasonable - e.g. 4070 is 295mm2

I'm not really sure what you're arguing so aggressively about - are you saying it's impossible to pair a CPU + a high end GPU on a single board? Because as I mentioned this already exists in the PS5 and XBSX, they could sell this in the PC space if they wanted to.
I've owned both gas and battery chainsaws, and I can't agree. The 80v battery chainsaw WAS really nice in terms of volume and ease of use. There's simply no comparison in terms of cutting power with a decently powerful gas chainsaw, however (FWIW these were greenworks 80v and a Makita 64cc).

I would say I paid more for the gas chainsaw, but the battery died on the electric one after only a year or two. Buying extra batteries to get a reasonable runtime and dealing with failing electronics more than makes up the difference in price.
Yep. It really feels like a bunch of kids read up on ‘90s Microsoft, internalised a third-hand wildly simplified definition of ‘antitrust’, and used it to add a moral high-ground angle to what is essentially an iOS power user feature request.

It’s often the first step in a whole lot of doublespeak. “This will set everybody free”, but at the same time, “this doesn’t present a security issue because nobody will use it”.

To be clear, I think that the government should storm Apple Park with buns glazing and force them to do a more reasonable degree of rent-seeking. I’m not going to pretend that this is for any reason other than “I think that 30% is a dick move”.

You don’t just get to pretend that Android doesn’t exist, or that the vast majority of ways that people communicate aren’t cross-platform, or that IOS has any material network effect whatsoever.

So you really end up with two camps, one camp who always stop short of saying “iOS is just better in my eyes, and I want to be able to do more with my phone.” And the other camp is…let’s be honest…Android users. And the mere fact that there’s so many people in this camp I think directly contradicts any assertion that there’s a monopoly in the first place.
I guess I don't care enough about money to spend my time in a situation I find horrible.
> what really interests me is more "pure" tech work instead - coding and designing, plus the problem to solve is an interesting tech problem rather than a business one.

Businesses pay people to solve business problems, not "pure tech" problems. What you call "pure tech" fits into either the academic field of computer science or expanding your own skills in a direction not necessarily valuable to your employer.

Core infrastructure and important libraries must have value to the business and solve business problems, at a level removed far enough to look like "pure tech," but the business likely wouldn't invest in those efforts for the sake of doing pure research, so maybe you just romanticize that work because it has less contact with customer concerns, marketing, or management.
False dichotomy. Every restriction on freedom does not have to be reduced to totalitarianist encroachment.
No one else is as close as the operator is.

That's an absurd expectation. First of all, many users don't even have or use a computer. Of course, I personally do have one, but I'm often nowhere near one when I set up MFA on a new account. So then I guess I screenshot the QR code to my phone? But if I saved the image to my phone it gets stored in my photos backup anyway. Why would Authenticator not just back its own contents up, to that exact same spot, rather than me doing some crazy runaround that for some reason involves images?
Full spectrum is less mentally distracting than narrow spectrum.
I’ve seen lots of cases where I or others can do better work than “the pros”. Some of it is because we’re working for ourselves on our own stuff and care more. But a lot of it is speed. It’s very possible to do a great job if being slow doesn’t mean you and your family get to starve.
Quite possibly the best for everything up to moderately complex.

You'd want to enter sqlalchemy (python), DBIx::Class (perl) and arguably Sequel (ruby) into the competition for 'best' though (I'm sticking to dynamic languages here) - exposed power and ability to drop to SQL for only parts of a query vary substantially between options.
FWIW, diatomaceous earth works just fine against bed bugs. Cover the surface of basically everything in your home (the mattress, the floor, under the bed, the bed frame, headboard, box spring, baseboards, on top of and under carpets, drapes, whatever) in diatomaceous earth powder. Leave for 12-24 hours. Vaccum it up. That's it! You'll want to wear a respirator to keep from breathing it in (it's non-toxic but may irritate your lungs).

Borax is also effective, though it may need to be wet first and may take longer to work. Diatomaceous earth doesn't work if wet.
