> It shouldn't be this hard to figure out the basics

Why not? There are lots of great things in the world that are easy and a joy to use, but fairly challenging to learn the technical details of. The electricity grid, airplanes, microwave ovens, you name it. Tons of straightforward user experiences that take some work to understand.
State management and locking is free with Azure and azurerm backend. AWS can use a S3 as a remote backend for free as far as Terraform is concerned.
I mostly am trying to say that there are different priorities. Looking cool is a valid priority for some, and I'm not going to devalue it. Compactness and light weight is also very important for a lot of people. This is on top of some very impressive engineering that Apple put into their machines.
Ask HN: What's with recruiters who schedule a call to reject me?
Multiple times this year, I've had a recruiter schedule a "follow up call" after my final round of interviews. I always offer same- or next-day availability, but recruiters tend to schedule the call at least a couple of days out.

Invariably, these calls have been less than 1 minute and boil down to sorry, you're not hired.

Um... why not just say that by email? Or (for those who insist email is too cold) call me ASAP after the hiring decision, and leave a voicemail if I don't answer?

Why make me wait several days for a <1 min phone call?
Wow, this is matches my exact experience too. Just had never thought of it in these terms.
Yeah, if they kill old.reddit I’ll use it significantly less. Not only is it more annoying with more friction, even if I was still willing to use it for a rough avg(minutes per day) pushing through the annoyance, I wouldn’t be able to consume as much in the same period of time
here, they now give neutered cats a tattoo on the belly (~1cm green line) instead of clipping. this is a bit more humane and becoming more the standard nowadays i believe.
Reddit doesn't care if the niches leave, they don't drive $ anyway

I haven't seen one made of plastic. All the ones I've handled have been metal.

The locking mechanism can also break on the car. Its way more challenging to fix. Also, I'd prefer to always be able to quickly and easily manually unlatch it, which isn't true on a Tesla. On most models the manual release is tucked pretty deep in the car.

This doesn't make OP's point invalid.

If you are talking about cost, then the only factor here is the market.
It is okay. We have nostr now. Let's move forward on a platform without a central corporate interest.
The US is getting its first new nuclear reactor in 40 years
I don't agree with this argument at all when the domain is a relatively fixed format with a specification.
I wished distributions would include an application firewall by default. This is something that should be prioritized in my opinion. Also, I would like to see some sort of permission management per application, like you have it on mobile operating systems like Android and ios.
> I'd rather Apple be the only ones with my data.

This was the same attitude that led Google where it is now. "Don't be evil" was really believed and accepted by huge part of their users, and compared to the sheer evil of Microsoft they sure looked like the better alternative.

> I hope Apple shuts down the entire industry.

On Apple's relationship with the ad industry, I have bad news for you.
> In-person is much better if you don't know what you need to build, are trying to "figure it out as you go along", and are relying on the implicit fast feedback loop of standing next to each other.

In-person has benefits in those situations, but whether or not it's better varies a lot based on the person and the office. I find it VERY distracting to have people talking around me. As such, I get a lot less done when in an office, because I can't concentrate as well. When you add in the other negative (commute time, in person interruptions, etc), going into an office for work can far outweigh any benefits of being around the people you work with.
Perhaps not, but I'm curious if there are people who have addictive personalities to their own projects where they may spend a lot of time away from their families (like, their children) or may postpone other types of responsibilities, and just build things, just for the sake of building things.
Adding Go later?
I don’t even think it’s about sex.

E-girls are visually stimulating to the point of uncontrollable ejaculation.

These men can’t possibly think they have a shot at having sex or even a genuine conversation with these carefully engineered influencers. They are like moths drawn to a flame. They worship these girls and fantasize about them and show their devotion by doing stupid irrational shit. Simp activities.
What makes a distro security-oriented? Debian has thousands of contributors and a dedicated security team.
> the rats on our block and occasionally in our building were huge and relentless

and...? I was hoping to see the rats show up on your comment but you never mentioned them again
Out of curiosity, what instance? Sounds nice.
I think it's primarily because of discovery. Reddit makes it really easy to find communities for your interests and makes it low effort to start engaging with them. I don't need to check 10 different forums, I just load up my Reddit home page.
It’s because Americans generally do know this. All the things coming to a head now were brought up as concerns back then. The position of the average America, the entire time deindustrialization was happening, was that Americans were being sold out by the wealthiest class and they were told economics isn’t zero sum as a rebuff.
In my experience, Arch users have the opposite attitude. They want to empower you to fix your system yourself. On the Arch forums, even "silly" questions are usually met with a nod in the right direction at least, if not substantial back and forth help. Perhaps they're elitist in the sense that they believe Arch is a superior OS compared to many other options, but not in the sense of gatekeeping.
Poor people aren't the problem here, it's the relatively wealthy who feel that responsible pet ownership laws don't apply to them.
I work in a factory and the opportunities to improve with custom software are huge.

Typical MRP/ERP solutions limit the way information flows around a factory. We have custom software running most of everything. It's a lot of CRUD and data pipelines. But wow are our processes easier to automate than I've seen with other systems, such as SAP.
It's sort of like the Chinese government vs. Chinese people. I can hate what the government does without any malice towards a Chinese person. Same thing going on here -- the content that is produced by Reddit users is still just as valuable even if the leadership are bozos. Nobody is claiming that Reddit content itself has somehow instantly gotten worse.
Yes, and at Oxide we have taken this a step further, being explicit about the fact that values are in tension[0] -- and then even asking candidates to describe a time when our values came into tension for them and how they dealt with it.[1] Not to imply that any of this is pat or easy, but I think it's been helpful to explicit about that tension -- and it has also (broadly) prevented us from weaponizing values (another common failure mode).

Still need to be concerned with the amount of latent heat generated on the planet surface
I am surprised nobody has coded a HTML/JS/CSS -> API thingamagic..

Assuming the website is public, allows login using standard JS/HTML and provides results in JS/HTML/CSS: with all the hype around GPT4 etc, wouldn't it be 'easy' to catch the bullet using some converter? And keep deploying a machine to catch up with another machine that keeps changing its "API" (i.e. the look and feel of the website in this case)

I am only partially joking.
I have many devices which have HDMI, Displayport, DVI, component, and more. Some with SDI as well.

Home theater receivers use HDMI because the vast majority of things a home user is going to use with it also uses HDMI.
Those suckers keeps signing up anyways, the content and communities just don’t matter, except when it chases off new people and stifle mobility and prevents continuous growth.

The value of Reddit to human society at large and the value it provides the corporate that owns it are not at all aligned. There’s a potential they negatively correlate, even. They need new people going through the gates to the Library of Alexandria, and the books are just means to it.
Is that so? WFH is still a largely a COVID thing, even 3 times a day is still better than going to office 5 times week, as before?
Because Germany declared war against the United States after their ally Japan attacked the United States? The us wasn’t the aggressor in that situation, and did not get involved when Germany invaded France.
I don't think this will work on those TikTok links though?
Have you looked at the rate limits? They changed it from 60 calls per user per client ID to 100 calls per minute per client ID. Nothing is getting built with limits that low
It's good advice to show, not tell.
Words like "gaslight" must have no meaning anymore. All of my comments are here for reading. If you think I'm lying...I don't know what to tell you.

There's no contradiction. The FDA marks sucralose as GRAS, which means "generally recognized as safe". There's a study you found that disagree. There's other studies over the decades that disagree as well. You may choose to believe the body of evidence gathered by the FDA that made it make its recommendation, or you may choose not to. It appears that you do not wish to engage in good faith here, and prefer to make attacks against me and claim that I am gaslighting you, so I will not be continuing this conversation further.

That's what their "eACH" metric covers. The article mentions it briefly.
If you want these types of things, then it's likely only going to be through somebody creating an extension to modify the HN interface.

I think client side modification is probably better (albeit inefficient) engineering anyway.
I use old. I’m sure it’s a minority, but either volume or quality of those users is, for now, enough value for Reddit to support it. As much as I’d like them to keep old indefinitely, I’m sure they’re just waiting for the value equation to tip negative before they kill old.
IBM was a big driver in viewing teams and employees as fungible and assembly-line pieces and shifting to offshore work.

I think the fact that Google isn't yet worried about cost more than productivity is a good sign that they're still a ways away from that.
Swap "go quiet" with "be quiet" or "go quietly" and it absolutely is a threat. But that's not what happened, and they clarified it in the call.

Why would you consider the former threatening?
What are you quoting? that link doesn't have that quote.

I found out about worn ware a couple weeks ago. I am now accruing nanopuff jackets at a dangerous clip.
I've seen this argument in other places and it makes an error in assuming all users are equal in what they bring. It's common in MMO communities - why do the devs spend so much time working on high end raids enjoyed by only 1% of the player base? For Reddit, I would assume mobile users are more motivated - motivated enough to install an app at least - and probably contribute more UGC to the site. Not to mention unpaid moderators.

I used Apollo on my mobile device (paid for a lifetime pro account), and had to uninstall because I was using Reddit _too_ much on my phone. But I am the type of person that tried and also uninstalled Tiktok, and Instagram.

I do use Reddit on my laptop quite a lot - but only with the Reddit Enhancement Suite. Take that away and I am gone, the plain website is pretty bad. But then again I am probably not the target user.
Your citations contradict your claim.

[2], p. 30: "Predation by nonnative and/or nuisance species. Predators, such as nonnative cats, dogs and foxes, as well as native crows and ravens, that are thriving in human-altered environments. The City policy of
removing cats and foxes has been effective and beneficial for the
burrowing owls."

[3]: "There are many factors that could explain the low numbers. The owls are ground-nesting, living in holes hollowed out by squirrels. That can leave them vulnerable to a long list of predators, including foxes, skunks and raccoons. Feral cats are considered the worst of the lot, preying on owls as well as the small birds and rodents that make up the owls' main food supply. In fact, a released cat last year ended up mauling one prolific male owl, Kleinhaus said."

[5] appears to concern burrowing owls in Black Hills National Forest, which is substantially different from Mountain View.

[9] does not call out cats specifically, but does recommend "[r]educing adult mortality rates by preventing the use of harmful rodenticides near
occupied habitat and reducing the threat from non-native predators" on p. 22.

MegaTransfers, it's the speed of the clock * ops per clock period. Typically MB/s is a bad way to measure speed of transfers due to the extreme variance between sequential & random read/writes. But for convenience you can think of 1MT/s as 1 MB/s
I rarely appreciate profanity on HN but in this case I appreciate the candid language. The politeness of the corporate speak BS on the other hand is devastating.
When Lisp first appeared, square brackets were not even standard characters. Maybe McCarthy would use them if he could.

The word "set" is much older, and is universally supported.

But most glaringly, (= a b) has a well-understood and entirely different meaning in most lisps, also since 1950s. It's comparison, not assignment. Breaking a well-set convention is a very different thing than making a new, slightly improved convention.

You only make money as a freelancer or agency over the long term by focusing on the customer. In my experience customers don't care about "developer first" values or the things developers say they strive for such as code "quality" (measured how?) or scalability (a possible future requirement). Nor do they care about async communication or remote culture or any of that, they just want to see progress and have their emails and calls answered. Your process and values don't matter to the customer except as they deliver business value, a vague and hard to support claim. Either you and your team add business value and meet customer requirements or someone else gets the job, or you land in tedious arbitration hearings. Arguing with the customer usually doesn't work out, unless you already have a strong trust relationship and domain expertise.

I keep my freelancing focus on the customer. My process and ideas about quality and scalability have to fit customer requirements, and I have to back up my talk about quality and scalability with evidence. The agency that represents me also maintains a strong focus on the customer.

"Growth hacking" the freelancer and agency models has led to lots of failed projects and customers with a bad taste for agencies. When getting new projects takes priority over delivering value and keeping customers happy you only grow by churning projects, and the industry has more than enough of that already.

I recently went down the rabbit hole of car data visualization software. For example, AEMData:

https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&hl=en-us&q=aemda...

This is seemingly used by everyone in car racing, tuning, etc.

But most of the software like this are all pretty ancient Win98 styled interfaces using what looks like MFC.

Is there any reason that Tremor or Tabler or Highcharts or D3 or any other modern dataviz hasnt usurped this space? Why isn't there a web based analytics tool for the auto sector?

This is just one of many, many problems plaguing academic publishing. I've long thought a web platform with a recombination of features borrowed from Github and StackExchange could potentially solve many (maybe most) of those problems.

Last summer I was able to take 6 months off of work to build a prototype and now I'm inching it forward as a side project. It's in early beta, and I'm looking for folks willing to use it to solicit review of their pre-prints and give me feedback and direction on where it take it.

It's open source, open access, and intended to stay that way. If it gets traction I want to form a non-profit, multistakeholder cooperative (governed by its users and the team that builds it) to develop and maintain it. Though, that's a long way off.

The beta is here: https://peer-review.io

A lot has been written about how Reddit should/deserves to die, but not much has been said about what a loss of a community it will be. Besides providing amusement, Reddit is the reason I'm a better programmer, partner, and person today. Reddit taught me things that my school never did but should have. It's the only social media I can say that about. I'm sure I'm far from the only person out there with this kind of story. I fully believe people will be worse off without Reddit to go to, if it really does die off.
McKinsey’s Role in the SVB Collapse
I can see the theoretical advantages of such a concept, but I think a key limitation is that we don't have appropriate amounts of data with accurate phonetic representation.

The potential advantage of using a phonetic representation is that it can have different relevant information than written spelling does. However, if you take the written spelling and pass it through some rules that transform it to what the phonetic representation might be... that transformation can only destroy information, not add it; you'd just be better off using the source data directly.

Now if at some point we get to a place where most of the training data is audio (i.e. the quantity of spoken words in available audio data becomes larger than current written data on internet and in libraries), then phonetic representation would make all sense, being closer to the source data.

But if we're talking about purely tokenization - I think your suggestion is effectively halfway towards morphologically based tokenization, splitting into morphemes (which tend to map to semantics), and that is getting explored. The problem is, for an apples-to-apples comparison you need equally sized models and changes to tokenization require a complete retraining of the model; so doing a comparison on GPT-3 or GPT-4 scale is very expensive (too expensive for "would be interesting" to justify it), and measuring the effect on small models won't necessarily be very indicative of how it will affect large models.

>How should the developers of these clients feel certain that whatever alternative they decide to endorse won't end up like Voat?

Make sure the community has proper and sane moderators/admins and stamp that down before it flairs up. Because it's the internet, it will always flare up if unchecked.

But I get it, that involves trust in judgement, and the internet attracts some very zealous personalities that don't have that. You'd need someone with a proven record to champion that cause. I'm not sure who that is.
