Oxford English dictionary follows the trends of language rather than setting them definitionally. They offer the "extremely" definition because the word gets misused so often, not because of any original meaning. One can argue the merits of whether a dictionary should include such misuses that have become commonplace but that's the direction they have opted to go.

Exactly. Like with politics, "no moderation" is really just "moderation I agree with."
The provincial area figure is meaningless for computing density. It’s like calculating the density of beer in a glass that’s been poured with 99% head. The real density is in the quarter inch of beer at the bottom of the glass, not the giant blob of foam above it.
I mean I'll take my downvotes but it's not a controversy within the economics field that broad wage gains perpetuate inflation. It's also not just something "taught in academia".

Concerns about wage growth is a primary reason why the Fed has been raising rates aggressively. They need to slow down economic activity so that wage gains cool. It's just politically toxic to say that explicitly, so they talk about other macro factors when pressed about it. Read between the lines here and you'll see that the Fed has been laser-focused on the wage-price spiral effect: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-03-01/best-bet-...

How is it the same workflow? Let's say today, there's r/widgets and their rules are no memes, no politics, no nsfw, etc. Most of the users understand the rules and keep it on topic. Now and then moderators have to delete off topic posts or ban users, etc.

You want a fire hose of widgets, widget memes, widget gone wild, erotic widget fan fiction, widget remix videos, widget music, widget swapping, widget swapping in the greater boston area, nsfw widget swapping, ask widget, widget jokes, hold my widget, midget widget porn, gidget widget porn, etc all lumped together. Instead of maybe 100 posts a day with 10% off topic, there are a thousand posts a day and 90% are off topic (for any given moderator's interests). Instead of deleting the relatively rare bad stuff, you have to pick out the relatively rare good stuff.

If 20m is paid, they'll double it next year. Reddit is just a landlord raising rents to unaffordable rates rather than evicting tenants.

And they don't produce or moderate content. Rent-seeking middlemen.

On this point, forums are about fostering a community. Social media is about sniping comments. Metafilter has the best implementation I thought, which is you subscribe and can't comment for 30 days so it stops reactionary commenting at the outset and then tell people this is about community and when you have a community you watch how the community behaves and assimilate to that.
This is a really cool feature! Sometimes I enjoy reading discussion in forums, moreso than individual tweets.

I'd like to ask: how do you scrape news articles and the forums that have discussion on them? Do you use RSS feeds or do you use a custom web scraper? How do you group them together when they are related (i.e., clusters)? Have you considered making it open source or do you prefer to keep the secret "sauce" secret?

I regularly use Techmeme and I've always wondered about these things.

Well then you could use a sandbox (e.g. bubblewrap) to mount whatever on /etc/ssl. Or you could recompile libressl with a different --sysconfdir and LD_PRELOAD it.
This sort of political courage is sorely lacking nowadays. Instead we get ersatz versions of it, where lawmakers claim ignorance of or incompetence to assess facts already in the public sphere, while damning their political opponents on the basis of documents whose existence is merely rumored by unspecified individuals whose whereabouts have been unknown for years.

said certain group of people who contest said election use the same argument, among others, to push the view that they're the true majority, and so the election there, too, should be overturned and the opposite result instated, just with different arbitrary and ultimately meaningless thresholds

if you ask me, all those nonvoters would have voted to close down the subreddit. I'd guess you think differently, but since they didn't vote, we'll never know, and they don't count for either.

as a side note, if the result had been the opposite, would the same people be similarly rallying to have the vote overturned and flipped to "blackout" due to the low "turnout"? I doubt it.

Ask HN: When and why did search engines start to only share top results?
I am curious about this:

Google: "cosmic rays".

Says on top: "About 17,600,000 results (0.40 seconds)".

But when scrolling through all these supposed results, at the 44th page, it displays: "Page 44 of about 433 results (1.87 seconds)". And that's it. No sign of 17 million hits advertised previously.

Anybody knows why and when did this happen?
The right consumables make a lot more sense past a certain point. For me, if I want/need something, I'll just buy it. Other things can be nice especially if I've talked about them but have been procrastinating about taking the plunge--though then that probably means they're a lot for a casual gift. I could probably get rid of half the stuff in my house and not miss it.

Housing problems here are related to pricing, and only tangentially to quantity of construction. The issue is how cheap housing loans have been, how deregulated the real estate sales market, and how stupid the last 20 years of governments have been about a) how they regulate the housing market and b) what kind of housing gets built (mostly either sprawly suburban single family mc-homes way out in e.g. Vaughan or Mississauga etc. or tiny condos in Toronto proper which just get turned into speculative investments or airbnbs).

Mortgages here were too cheap for too long. Really, what people "buy" when they buy a home is a mortgage, not a house.

On the other hand I have real world friends that I originally met on forums 15 years ago.
> Whether those levels of immigration can be sustained without causing social problems is not yet known. Certainly housing is extremely unaffordable and taxes are very high.

Canadian immigration quotas are simply out of control, about 10x per capita what the US allows.

And it's just the beginning, apparently the current ruling party is planning to give amnesty and permanent residency to half a million illegal migrants in the coming year. [0]

It creates an interesting dynamic in tech.

Anecdotally, it seems there's a lot of Canadians expats here in the Valley and they don't seem too keen on returning. We've been getting a lot of international applicants (but work from home was supposed to mean Canadians could avoid moving to the "dangerous" US but work for American companies?).

Post 2016 the messaging from most commonwealth countries (UK, Canada, Australia) seemed to be that they were going to be the ones benefiting from a brain drain of Americans leaving the country. Canada was supposed to become an "AI Superpower" and its Universities were supposed to be where innovation was going to happen next due to the perceived hostility of the United States to foreign talent. Yet it seems the opposite happened. It's interesting, in retrospective, to see how wrong these predictions were. Top destination for Canadian nationals in Academia was, and still is... the US. Canada maintains a net brain drain to the US [1]

Canada sure had a lot of "talent" immigrate in the meantime, but from my observations it's mostly people who can't -and likely won't ever be able to- secure a US visa, mostly due to skills (there's a reason they immigrated to Canada, it's way easier). Some companies leverage this and have floors of international devs they park in Canada for a fraction of their US counterpart through a subsidiary. The city of Vancouver even bragged about its devs being worth 50K less than their American counterparts! [2]

I witnessed it first hand. Back when we opened a satellite location in Toronto. First thing people asked coming into interviews was about relocating to the US and if we could sponsor their visa. The demographics also skewed heavily toward recent immigrants to Canada. The irony was, the Toronto location was opened specifically to house developers that simply couldn't pass the higher bar for US immigration.

The biggest downside of Gevent IMO is that it enables the magic of turning sync code into async code via monkey patching things like the socket lib. This lack of explicitness can make things a bit difficult to reason about, without a good mental model of what Gevent is doing underneath the hood.

Here in Norway (one of the two nordic countries to be not in the EU, the other is Iceland), we adopt more regulations from the EU via EØS (EEA) than most EU countries.

So we're basically part of the EU without the voting rights and toll union benefits..

Besides, our governments and most of the people cross "isle" are very much into the green/circle economy thing. It would get adopted from the EU even without being part of EØS I think.

Personally I think it would be great to be able to have a phone longer, I absolutely hate throwing out working hardware like the 2010 mac pro I used to have but apple decided not to support any more. The funny part is that someone has now made a hack/patch so it runs the newest os x anyway [1]. It was never the hardware that was the issue, just lack of support from apple.

We don’t, at least not all of us. I’d much prefer simple automated spam filter and site wide rules. This is how most forums I used prior to Reddit worked. I loathe the idea someone silently removes posts or bans people for whatever reason they like.
Notwithstanding occasional repetition, I think you should let voting and depth of discussion determine whether a report is significant or not. Even when factual or procedural changes are small, a well-written report might provide worthwhile new analysis or perspective on legislative prospects.

To be sure, some time and attention is wasted on repetitive discussions that restate the same issues with breaking any new conversational ground. But complex problems often require multiple attempts at a solution.

It can be pretty bad especially for UI updates that you are used to being handled client side.

Example: You click on an upvote button and it changes color, but there's 1 second of latency.

SPA: Color updates immediately, the "upvote pressed" http/websocket call to the server arrives one second later.

LiveView: liveview.js sends "upvote pressed" over the web socket, one second later the liveview process on the server gets the message, patches the dom and replies, one more second later the button changes color. Meanwhile the user has pressed the button 2 more times wondering why the color isn't updating.

There are phx-hooks (https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix_live_view/js-interop.html#client-...) to address this with small targeted bits of js where you can add event listeners but it can get messy quickly.
