This is either a sad reflection on society, or awesome sarcasm.
(Hoping for the latter, but have you seen society lately?)

The need comes first. If I have a need, I (re)search for solutions. The ad does not create the need.

Ads still work. They can generate a want, but if I never see the ad, I'll live happily on in blissful ignorance.

Building awareness is important for new products. Heck, I might like them. Not complaining about ads in general, just the ones that try to get between me and what I really want my to do. The ones that try to make my attention non-optional.
Those must die a fiery death.
Of all the people who buy smart home devices, ranked by how much they care about data, the median is "zero".

That's what that means, and what "the average HN reader" understands without having to be pedantic about it.
Chicken Scheme is great, but for production use you need an ecosystem.

Racket is a classic example of those peculiarly dysfunctional systems that emerge from an out of touch (dare I say ivory tower) academic community who think hype and prototypes are one step away from being enterprise ready.
> Militarized police would have no excuse

They'd have the same excuse they have now: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Town_of_Castle_Rock_v._Gonza...

Then again, if they did change that and use military-style regulations, complete with desertion and cowardice rules, maybe the equivalent of military police (police police?) can stamp out corruption and violence against the public, in the same way that a soldier stealing supplies or deliberately harming civilians would be (should be) punished harshly by a military court.
There is no extra effort here. The binary comes from the source. You don't have immaculate conception for RHEL. RHEL uses the source, and use to provide a link to the said source. Now they don't. And nobody is even asking RH to post sources publicly. People will happily take that burden off of them. They don't have to post the source, they can let their customers do so, but they forbid their customers. So this argument fails.
This law will do nothing to combat human trafficking. The best ways to help human trafficking exist mainly in the places people are trafficked from, not to. Equal rights and access to education, suffrage and work for women is a good start. General societal development helps.
> if a single moment in a song isn't to our liking we can skip and forget about it completely

I do sometimes worry about this. Some of my favorite songs growing up were ones that I didn't care for initially but which grew on me only after listening to it repeatedly. Now it's easy to dismiss anything that doesn't hook me right away. Thankfully albums are still being released, and you can force yourself to listen though them, or keep more of the "meh" songs in your playlists for longer periods of time, even adding them back into rotation after a while.

I don't think I'd give up the variety we have now though and go back to only having what songs are pushed at us through top 40 radio or the limited selection found in local stores. I get my music now from countries all over the globe. Finding old stuff all the time I'd never heard and new things just released.

We can still invest in the music we listen to and be rewarded. We just aren't forced to, so it needs to be deliberate.
Reddit arbitrarily flags things as "available in the app" or "18+ content" to force you to sign in. They've been doing this crap since long before Twitter got loaded with debt by Musk.
Moderation is dominated by randomness - we don't come close to seeing all the comments on HN or even all the comments in any large thread. That's 90% of the answer to "why did my comment get moderated and not those other ones". (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...)

The reason I saw your comment rather than the other ones is that it was heavily upvoted and right near the top of the page—and that's just the problem: snarky, shallow comments attract upvotes, which causes them to occupy prime real estate, crowding out better discussion, and that distorts the character of the thread and ultimately of the site itself. This is one of the biggest problems HN faces, if not the biggest.

You can say that this problem is caused more by upvotes than by comments, and I agree - but we can't address the problem at the upvote level (at least not publicly), and anyway if the flypaper weren't hung in the first place, the flies wouldn't have thronged to it.

It's impossible not to "selectively apply" the rules, the same way that not every speeder gets a speeding ticket, and of course when you've seen other people speeding worse than you (which they invariably do), it feels unfair that you're the one who gets the ticket. The main things to realize are (1) it's nothing personal; (2) the randomness evens out in the long run; and (3) the only way to keep HN going in a good way is for enough commenters to understand this and take up the work of following the site guidelines (or really, the intended spirit of the site) even when they see others not doing it. I hope this helps explain things a bit...

This is naïve and looks like the guy doesn't have all that much experience

"Good candidates now ask many diverse questions about the team setup, role expectations, challenges, the tech stack, career and mentoring opportunities, work times, etc."

And if the interviewer doesn't like these questions, because they have too much ego in this? Because I can't actually ask good questions because I don't have enough knowledge of the inside of their company (other than off the website, which is their public face so they're going to be distinctly partisan about how good they are), whereas they have a potted summary of me in front of them in the form of my CV?

Or if they out right lie about the tech stack, the "career and mentoring opportunities", how fucking bad the management is…?

Because this is exactly what happened at a number of companies I've interviewed for, and most especially the one I'm working for now.

My experience is you make yourself look cute and cuddly, don't challenge too much (eg. don't ask if they have an bug tracker because often they don't[1] and they'll get irritated).

Great advice for an ideal world, not this one.

[1] And if you find out they do have one, especially don't ask if they actually use it.

I would actually argue that the best jobs are rarely advertised or filled through traditional interview processes.

In my experience, building strong relationships and networks within the industry has been far more effective in securing meaningful employment opportunities. Rather than focusing solely on perfecting your interview skills, I would encourage folks to prioritize developing their network and cultivating relationships with potential employers.

5 commands that when you forget them or when they go wrong you have to manually fix. And where when you automate them you realize on your laptop that something went wrong and you have to go back and fix it, possibly losing hours depending on where your other computers are.

Who would want that, possibly over many repos? Git isn't even working well with large files to be synced. Think about git submodules. So much can and does go wrong because Git is not designed to sync that way. Not worth the hassle for most people.

Classic example of "cherry-picking" or "selection bias." The reality is this: Many of the technologies we use daily operate on C, through Unix/Linux/Windows, and the whole web runs on JavaScript, among other languages. Yet, we don't see constant mentions or braggings about these accomplishments.

Cryptic crosswords usually provide the lengths of each word in the solution as part of the clue. If that were done here it would have spoiled the ambiguity because either answer would have had (3,4,7) or (7,7) in the clue.

I think this site probably deals more with the cryptic crosswords, so that aside probably made more sense for regular readers.
why doesn't apple make more different devices then? I guess they have been trending that way.. But still, how does "compartmentalizing" make up for 30 different production lines and whatever else can't be parallelized? Like the tiny differences the other reply noted, what is the difference in a consumer who picks the 3 mm bigger?? Do these "segments" of the market exist naturally or is it manufactured to some degree? ie If one year they suddenly consolidated down from 30 to 5, what % of customers would they really lose?!

I guess this is legally unfeasible. Take a look at the splash screens next time you're loading a game - especially AAA but also smaller ones too. There will beone page with a bunch of logos. Havok physics is the one that comes to mind but there's loads more. Each of these is a plugin with proprietary code. They would need to be stripped out before the code could be released, which would probably be a lot of work. And then the code wouldn't run anyway.

This isn't a recent thing - as another comment points out, even the original Doom ran into this problem and only the Linux source was released.
Don’t worry too much. It’s a cycle, new sites will appear to fill the gap and they will go through approximately the same evolution.
I remember when Far Cry came out. Around the time, Doom 3 and Half-Life 2 were the most anticipated games for quite a while, mostly because they promised graphics far ahead of anything released so far. But as they were delayed multiple times, Far Cry stole a lot of their thunder when it came out months before them, with similarly impressive graphics.

We don't see technically ambitious PC exclusive games like this anymore, as the market for these games greatly decreased in relevance. Most people don't own an expensive desktop PC anymore (due to smartphones and laptops doing most of their jobs) and they just buy a console if they want to play games.
Thank you for the feedback, we realize some of these problems. We’ll address is it as soon as possible. Best regards.
No, Guile got a JIT too and elisp is not that fast.

I mean, I'm sure I could write a fast enough GB emulator with Guile.

Not with Elisp, even with the XCB or XLIB bindings for Elisp/Emacs.
I’ve gotten the impression that for some creators, part of the reason is how easy it is to be demonetised on YouTube. The monetisation filter has become sensitive and puritanical that people even self-censor confronting words now, like “murder”, or “rape”, or “suicide”… I don’t know what TV news or current events shows are like today, but from what I remember watching when I was younger, I doubt any of that would be monetisable on YouTube today.
It is strongly typed as 1 + "1" doesn't work. This has nothing to do with knowing the types beforehand and disallowing the execution.
> My parent was somehow dedicating more empathy towards single-man operations than large companies

They were not. They were pointing out that a single-man operation has far less power to dictate market conditions than a 50,000 person conglomerate. Even when they are the only butcher in a whole village, they have nowhere near the price-setting power that a company does (even one that doesn't have the same level of monopoly).

I am glad to see that more people are against advertising than you may believe there would be through social media experience.
It's about $1 per thousand tweets and access to 0.3% of the total volume. I think the subscription is 50M "new" tweets each month? There are other providers who continually scrape Twitter and sell their back catalogue.

https://www.wired.com/story/twitter-data-api-prices-out-near...

Researchers are complaining that it's far too high for academic grants. Probably true, but that's no different from other obscenely priced subscriptions like access to satellite imagery (can easily be $1k for a single image which you have no right to distribute). I'm less convinced that it's impossible for them to do research with 50 million tweets a month, or with what data there is available. Most researchers can't afford any of the AI SAAS company subscriptions anyway. Data labelling platforms - without the workers - can cost 10-20k a year. I spoke to one company that wouldn't get out of bed for a contract less than 100k. Most offer a free tier a la Matlab in the hope that students will spin out companies and then sign up. I don't have an opinion on what archival tweets should cost, but I do think it's an opportunity to explore more efficient analyses.
A bit further in the article :

> Of course, the same device couldn't have been used in a standard cryptic crossword as word length breakup of solutions - (7, 7) vs (3, 4, 7) - would have given the game away.

Clinton would be 7 letters, Bob Dole is two words, 3 and 4 letters respectively.

I've never seen a crossword that does this, the ones I see just use the grid to show word breaks. However, I've also never seen a crossword that has one hint that cuts across a black square, like this one does. But I'm not an avid crossword puzzler.
I use Ublock origin with no pop ups on the site you mentioned.

In ublock-origin you need to enable the filter in Filter lists:

It is not enabled by default

I also have easy list installed in My filter just in case ublock misses any:

> Code unambiguously defines 'what' it's doing, so I'm not sure what value technical consistency provides

Unless it’s really convoluted, most of the time I’m reading code, I’m concerned with why it’s doing something. Technical consistency helps understand the intent by removing distractions and the need to switch paradigms.

It's because once you're top dog, you stop aiming high and start maintaining your top spot. You stop being ambitious and innovative, instead you start being anxious and wearing rose colored glasses.

That leads to complacency, corruption, and delusion, ultimately leading to failure.

Everyone and everything from mundane individuals to megacorporations and empires have all fallen from grace once they became top dog. No exceptions.

If you want to last, aim high but don't become top dog.

They didn't make it by advertising rather that having deals to become the default because shipped in the hardware and the price baked in the price of the hardware.

Advertising should be heavily taxed so companies have an incentive to innovate and make better products. All the money that goes to advertising is money that don't go to R&D and salaries.

The internet business model is an exception because there ads actually fund useful services. It's anomally, a clever hack but should really be independant public services whose goal is to expand freedom of associtaion and peer to peer discovery and exchanges and could be funded with taxes.

> I have yet to encounter any spam at all

The spam bots that signed up did not start posting on my instance yet at the moment when I discovered them.

Probably they are stockpiling accounts for later use.
Wait, so using the same private keys on multiple accounts on separate instance can work? When you post a comment from all those accounts with the same private keys at the same time, the servers will accept only one of them? How does replies work? Will replies to your comment get sent to just one instance or all your user accounts in other instances as well. Is this only works on lemmy or is it a hack that's not always supported by all ActivityPub implementations?

Sorry for the barrage of questions. I knew that accounts already have private keys associated with them, but I didn't know it's possible to use them at the same times across multiple instances without any negative impact.

Facebook has armies of employees tweaking algorithms to determine what should and shouldn't be broadcasted, it's bizarre to suggest otherwise. At one stage they weighted angry responses to a post as being worth five times more than a like, which is why FB is filled with so many deranged anger addicts, fertile ground for far right actors like Matt Walsh.

Their examples aren't contrived, you just lack the fortitude to admit your views have no grounding in reality.

In retrospect this cool urls don't change ideology might have been net negative. Instead of trying to fight the inevitably that content moves around and gets occasionally lost, it could have been better to embrace the ephemerality; promote mirroring and storing local copies. "Cool URLs are mirrorable"

Notably WARC format was developed only 10 years after that famous essay, and there are lot of other things that could have been done to make mirroring proper first class citizen in web.
