I used to build on centos to check my code would run on red hat. That doesn't seem particularly parasitic. Since they canned centos I no longer try to check whether anything will run on red hat.

That's an interesting take given there's not a jot of orange in it - it's actually full of banana, not that you can really tell with all the other stuff mixed in.

I'd say it's more of a light energy drink and more similar to Tizer and other "made up flavour " carbonated drinks.
You did say, recently, that you don't like the idea of paid third-party apps using the HN API.[0]

I thought that was an odd change for HN. After all, the majority of the value still accrues to the HN owners. In fact, user's that are prepared to pay for an app to access a free website largely comprised of adverts, are typically more valuable than the rest. Those users have money to burn and skin in the game!

I've seen that work with self-driving cars. Simulating driving data is actually better since you can introduce black swan events that might not happen often in real world.
The problem is that the "fast" part is in quotes because it's glacially slow as soon as you get past the initial MVP or demo.

I see this idiocy everywhere, to the point that many clouds are now advertising "Day 2 operations" like it's a new thing to be doing things for more than one day.

Everywhere you turn, it's: "Get started quick", "Quickstart", "Deploy to <cloud>!", etc...

What do you do after deployment is... crickets chirping, wolves howling, and a tumble weed rolling slowly past.

CORBA, Java Remoting, .NET WCF, WS-*, etc... are complex technologies that can't be trivially poked and prodded with curl or a repl. What they provide is tooling and long-term velocity and safety even with hundreds of developers on the team.

Heck, even as a solo developer I strongly favoured the "proper" RPC systems. I could define a class type once, and then Visual Studio or IDEA or whatever would spit out tens of thousands of lines of error-free boilerplate code that otherwise I would have to hand-roll.

You can't imagine how depressed it makes me when I see some Web API guide that starts off with a cheery "this is a simple..." and then there's five hundred pages of English text.

Look. Sure, if you're an Indian outsourcer developer, this is great. You can bang out monotonous repetitive code like a meat robot and collect a pay check your subsistence farmer parents could only dream of. You can do this for years, and never have to think, or be creative, or risk your job security.

But people that need to get things finished, past day two into day five hundred? We use the good stuff, with automation.

Half the world still builds roads with hand tools. Where I live, we build roads with heavy machinery.

That's the difference. Any idiot can pick up a hammer and say "road building is easy". They'll still be building that road with an army of workers a year later.
Used responsibly, of course it is. A developer is able to ingest current language used in exchanges about current topics, as well as cite prominent sources that are still using the platform.
Yes, Tim-Berners Lee led the Solid project[1], which reverses the client/server identity and data model. The user will store their own data and the service provider can only access it under the policy set by the user.

The promise is that one can not only transfer the identity and all personal data across instances of a single service, but also across different services (imagine from mastodon to Lemmy).

Sadly, it never caught on.

Yeah, sounds like a combination of things: a11y allows introspection of the widgets, and perhaps received messages are rendered by an editable widget that's "emulated" to be read-only (ie most events caught to make it non-editable, but a11y goes direct to the properties).

Since you can't reproduce it, sounds like an inconsistency in startup too. Perhaps worth trying to kill the Messages app and restart it with a11y reenabled?

You should probably report the bug anyway, it might be an easy and obvious fix for someone with access to the source code, yet hard to figure out a reproducible test case for an outsider.

While better than the US, keeping "better" insulin from poor people means that poor people die more.

"Better" insulin generally actually works better, is easier to get the right dose, and is often longer-acting and more effective. Cheap insulin - often older formulations - make it far easier to accidentally kill yourself.

I'll also note that the generic, older insulin products are fairly inexpensive in the US, though folks still find themselves tempted to ration. And you just have to risk death more with them. A few other vital medicines have cheap generics as well.

But not all vital medicines have generics, and some generics are still expensive. Some of those vital medicines keep people alive.

I think Lemmy and Kbin has the most potential due to their federated nature. I have found several vibrant communities with interesting and thoughtful discussions across many instances there. Too bad some of the largest instances started doing these de-federation shenanigans recently. I'm on my own personal instance so I'm not affected so far, but it does concerns me. Imagine if Gmail de-federate from Yahoo mail so users of both sites can't talk to each other (but can talk to the rest of the internet). This is absurd and has the potential to kill the fediverse if the practice is unchecked. There has to be a way to moderate discussion without abusing de-federation.
Famously, the collapse of Kiwifarms was triggered by them carrying on their usual campaign of swatting against Keffals when she had gone to an address in Northern Ireland, whose police are much more savvy to threats.

You really don't hear about swatting being a thing in the UK because the police don't have nearly the same level of license and impunity for violence. So everytime there is such an incident it's national news.
Today's Twitter repository is the forum equivalent of “Low-background steel”
I'm sure the existing tweet-stream has "AI" authored tweets already, but that's going to explode.

Firestore – The NoSQL Serverless Database for the Application Developer
Is it possible to just edit the title to make it clear it's taking about stains?

There is quite a bit of controversy about statins. I believe in double blind studies it's not clear that more report muscle pain than placebo. (The rhabdomyolysis is clearly a possible side effect but distinct from just pain and weakness).[0] The absolute harm difference of 1% translates to a NNH of 100. One person is worse off due to being on a station vs placebo for every 100 prescribed. This NNH is much higher(better) that previously reported.

But are any better off? Ummmm, that's not too clear either it's proven on people with very very high cholesterol over 12 or so not your typical steak for breakfast eater who sits around 6.
Translated into extended quality of life it's probably not much.[1] Your looking at about 1.3% lower risk of death over 5 years mostly in the unhealthiest, exclude those with very high cholesterol and suddenly it doesn't seem so worth it esp if you factor in diabetes and being disincentivized to be healthy.

This has been Twitter's Modus operandi from well before Musk acquired them.

They announced new features through Tweets (remember Fleets?) with glaring issues at launch (no authentication required to view a Fleet) and without any corresponding API documentation. The GraphQL that backs their website has more features and bug fixes than their paid API!

They also famously do not have a staging environment, which frequently caused issues when new features were deployed or tested with a subset of users.

Twitter has never been a trustworthy or reliable partner. They are just more of an obvious dumpster fire since the Musk acquisition.

Why not just test your stuff on CentOS Stream or even just Fedora?

RHEL is for big business having bespoke applications; unless you need the stability nobody expects normal open source devs to make RHEL their testbed.
Afaics the methods Rocky has found to get to RHEL’s sources might work technically but will violate Red Hat’s T&C.

Just use Centos Stream to build your value and contribute back.

2: You can do HTTP/Json requests "transparently" just fine, it's an implementation issue. The issue is if you're doing that from JS you're blocking the only thread and even in a server/desktop language like Java, C# or C++ you're going to be blocking the entire thread and possibly degrade performance. This wouldn't have been any different with CORBA (But people ignored thread cost issues back in those days).

3: again implementation issue.

4: swagger/openapi will help on the compile side (sadly not runtime with all languages but again, language/impl issue)

5: generators are still a thing and available if you look.

Neither of them has lost a war in which they were defending their own country.

Nukes are much less effective in offensive wars, especially when fighting or even attempting to conquer a neighbor.
Swatting requires more than someone wanting to orchestrate violence - swatting absolutely requires police to participate actively in the swatting. The person wouldn't be able to do this sort of violence if the police refused.
imagine python, but you can add more types in order to compile python code into machine code. So you have some slow tight loop, add types, add a decorator and it runs thousands of times faster. Now imagine being able to do this since early 2000s.
I visit a few sites that never changed (or at least changed things only few were even aware of) and they live long enough to lose count of hordes of change-praisers appear and die.

I believe this eternal loop of change is a trap that impatient people force themselves in. Instead of accustoming and learning the current state, they rush into another one with a change that has unclear implications. As a result, they never get where they are and lose any track of where they were or where they’re heading at. Their only comfort can be found in a constant change.

These few sites are like home to me. One of them I visit with years-long pauses and every time I return it’s the same user experience. That’s invaluable.

> No, I think most people are fine with paying for a service

> I have to watch 2, sometimes 3 ads before I can watch a video. This is insane. I'd rather go back watching TV instead.

Your 2 statements contradict themselves. If you and others are fine to pay for a service and hate to watch 2-3 ads then why not take YouTube Premium? Now you just said you will prefer not to pay and go watch TV.

> they have made it impossible for creators to support themselves

You can literally pay a subscription to a channel you want to directly support now. How is that not helping to support content creators.

> You pretend like this isn't already happening.

I think you start to reading way too deeper here because I was literally pointing that it is happening and has to happen if people want quality. Or you go free with ads or you go private with a paywall.

Truth is you are already kinda answering what is happening right now:

> So even when I'm using adblock, I'm watching ads, only this time I'm usually okay with it, because I can skip them and even if not, it supports the creators I'm watching (although I'm sure advertisers will slowly figure this out as well and creep over to surreptitious advertising)

During Covid the internet ad market exploded but the price also went way down. If it’s ads on Facebook Google or even YouTube. A lot of people are more on the web with lock downs. They shop even more on Amazon and e-commerce shops. But this influx of new (regular) users made also cost of the ads per user crash because of the influx itself and because of the financial situation.

Coming back on YouTube that’s when and why YouTube started to show a lot more ads before it was 1-2 it went to 2-3 or so. And usually not skipable.

Add to this like you said in your comment people that want to support a channel and do watch ads but never click, advertisers will “figured it out”. Well they already did figured it on out. And they is them and Google Facebook etc. The market already corrected itself at the beginning of Covid. That’s why now you have to see more ads on YouTube because the cost per click is way down.

We can’t just zoom in and avoid all the economic situation. Forget how we got here. And avoid to see what YouTube offers to support content creators and yell that they don’t do a thing when really everything is already there. The question is are people defending this narrative going to fight to always things free with no (little) ads or are they going to put their money where their mouth is?
> the page also never reloads

Well, that's really only technically correct, since the strategy here is to replace the whole page with a new version of it on each virtual keypress, by using CSS to hide the previous HTML and then receiving the new updated version of the web page's content. The only tricks is to use a chunked content-transfer to have this all happen over a single HTTP request, so yes technically the page does noes reload, but it's pretty much the same thing as if it did.

Really cool trick nonetheless! And more importantly fun trick, and fun read :).
Besides backups, I like to keep only one copy of any given file/project in existence. So in your case I would delete the backup after I restore it to the new computer.

I upvoted your comment because it's largely accurate.

However, I would caution against blanket stereotypes like this:

> Look. Sure, if you're an Indian outsourcer developer, this is great. You can bang out monotonous repetitive code like a meat robot and collect a pay check your subsistence farmer parents could only dream of. You can do this for years, and never have to think, or be creative, or risk your job security.

A lot of the outsourced indian devs do indeed match that description, BUT the majority of them that I know of don't want to "bang out monotonous repetitive code like a meat robot and collect a pay check ".

They want to create novel and creative things like everyone else. That they're stuck in the modern equivalent of the assembly line is really not their fault, and most devs, outsourced or not, are in that space anyway.

I’m reasonably confident the comment was using those commands as general workflow examples, and not exact, concrete commands to issue.

Nobody is suggesting you have to push this to stuff to main, use a branch if you don’t want to get in everyone else’s way or require code reviews?
It's ambiguous what GP refers to as "next", but if it's the Eternal September part, I believe HN unfortunately already suffers a lot from it. In my subjective opinion, comment quality took a nosedive in the past 2-3 months or so. That said, I have no idea how to fix it, if it needs fixing at all.

I suspect that kind of thing is more common than we realise, but less tied to statins.

People report similar effects with SSRI antidepressants, the contraceptive pill, some antibiotics, some disease modifying drugs, some antiseizure.

It's probably just true that some people react to some drugs with behavioural disturbances. For some reason statins is where people talk about it most. Perhaps because statins are very common and people don't expect a behavioural change, compare that to antidepressants where people quickly stop.

I may be pedantic, but this is not only CSS, there’s after all an entire Ruby backend. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate to call this something like “No-js chat”, seems to me that would be more correct and less clickbaity.
I recently bought a ski touring pack. It's almost certainly the best pack money can buy. The guy who made it has a waiting list and seems to be happy with his life. He doesn't advertise at all. If you find him, you move in the circles that mean that you want a high quality ski touring pack, and word of mouth will eventually reach you. If you really care about this category of product you can find him. The pack is competitive in price with anything else on the market of similar features and quality. It's not really a "luxury" or "boutique" product.

This is an example of how businesses and customers can be perfectly happy without any advertising. It's not the only example, just the first that came to mind.
I remember implementing this a long, long time ago for that purpose. It was a novelty then, didn't know it was still being used.
