Thanks for the feedback, we are currently working on a new landing page. The images that you mentioned were put there to represent the wide usage of Open Source code in all walks of life. Also I agree with the buzzwords, even though they are true and not just buzzwords for Gitopia, I understand how it might put devs off (given the wide scam/spam associated with them). We will fix it soon.

> I'll say one nice thing - I like the live preview of the app on the front page that is interactive and actually works. More web apps should do this

Thanks, it was put up there to show that Gitopia is open source and is being developed on Gitopia. Also that we are not just an idea or whitepaper, the app is live and working.

Reddit isn't that special. Protests like at Reddit could also happen anywhere else. So even if nobody is protesting Discord at the moment, it may still make sense to take the possibility into account.
> Piece of paper that would be worth less than a piece of toilet paper, if not for the US military.

After WWII, only a tiny minority of wars fought by the US were in self-defense. Most of the time the military was on foreign soil of countries that never attacked the US. The most their justifications amounted to were terrorist attacks, to which it responded with full invasions that left millions dead.

It took half a century, but people are just not buying "we have to fight them over there, so we don't have to fight them over here" anymore.

If you used the same threshold for what justifies an invasion against the US, as the US does to other countries.. well, you wouldn't mind Chinese drones and bombers flying overhead, liberating you, would you? It's either that, or their constitution becomes worthless.
Can't agree unfortunately. Taxes in Europe are about 40-50% of income for upper middle class + 20% VAT.

I haven't read Power of Habit (maybe I should if its that different), but I have read Atomic Habits and I found it useful. Admittedly I didn't get past the 3rd chapter, I felt like at that point I knew what they were getting at and didn't need much more. Maybe I missed out on a lot, but what I got from those 3 chapters was enough (basically just the idea of doing something every day, even if its the literal bare minimum).
I did the pre-1.0 language thing once with Clojure and don't really feel like doing it again, but I've certainly been keeping my eye on Zig because it has some interesting ideas. But this set of changes, even if it is still possible to wire it up yourself, makes me way less interested.

> Examples of this “radical” ideology include not getting married, not having children, not buying a house or a car, and refusing to work extra hours or to hold a job at all.

Refusing to work extra hours is an example of a "radical" ideology?

Am I missing something? I'm seriously asking because this sounds like the whole "quiet quitting" thing that highlighted corporations expecting unpaid labor as a given.

None of these sound radical. Maybe not holding a job at all, but at the same time, for a long time, that was the norm for a substantial portion of the population (and frankly, it still is).

This is a great anecdote. There's always so much competition in B2C products that there is always some element of luck.

I have to say that although I agree with this example here, I've seen lots of examples of games that, for all intents and purposes, became successful simply because they were good. Games like Stardew Valley, Shovel Knight, Hollow Knight, Project Zomboid, Factorio, Hyper Light Drifter, etc. A lot of these games had insanely small budgets, horrible conditions and/or adversity and yet their creators persevered.

If you make a good product, you will eventually find a market for it. At least, that's my take. But I totally get the other perspective. There's definitely an element of survivorship bias here.

Interesting. Right now Figma is THE standard for UX design. It completely blew Sketch away thanks to Covid. I really haven't heard UX designers talk about going back to Sketch or any other program, in fact I've only heard multiple people talk about how Figma is just getting better with their new update (especially around prototyping). Personally, I'm not a fan of Adobe, but it seems like there's a lot of UX designers who simply don't care if Adobe buys them or not.

There's a great Linux hardening guide that really made me question the common refrain about linux being more secure.

Out of the box on many distros it's not particularly that safe, it's widespread usage in servers rather than desktops means it's more the sensible firewalling and lack of user installed apps that's giving it the appearance of security.

Not exactly, no. Most newspapers are profitable. The mostly non-newspaper titles you list were all chasing the over-saturated market for liberal commentary and opinion.

http://marcedge.com/jombs.pdf

"This research follows on a 2014 study of North American newspapers which examined annual financial reports for publicly traded chains and found that none posted an annual loss on an operating basis between 2006 and 2013. An analysis of UK newspaper company financial reports was thus performed to determine whether predictions of extinction similar to those made in North America are likewise unfounded and to compare their performance. Results showed more variation than in the U.S. and Canada. Most UK newspapers are still profitable, but not as profitable as before. The Times, historically a loss maker, has moved to profitability in recent years with the introduction of a paywall for its online content. The same paywall reduced the advertising revenues of News Corp’s Sun and was thus dropped."

Same. Our realtor wasn’t in any hurry to sell us a house (showed us 40 houses over about 7 different days actually) and wasn’t afraid to point out the negatives of the house and what we should be looking for in a good first home and take into consideration if we ever wanted to resell it. I learned quite a bit from him during the process.

He also didn’t mind seeing a bunch of houses because even if we weren’t interested in a house it built up his knowledge about the market and could possibly recommend the house to others.

We did have another realtor that wasn’t like that though when we were considering moving to another state, who mainly was just there to show houses and never pointed anything out, in fact she barely talked.

Didn’t really see the value with her, although shortly after the mortgage rates jacked up fast and made moving less appealing (we looked just before the Fed jacked up interest rates), so we didn’t go any further in the process anyway.
Most glass containers have plastic lids. That's the only issue I have with them, otherwise its glass all the way.
During energy discussions here on HN, a common topic is accident insurance. The general principle is that a power plant should have insurance that cover any and all forms of accidents, covering any costs that such accidents may have on people who live around (or in this case downstream) of the plant. Not much mentioning of this in the article so I assume the costs is paid either by the state or by the individual.

I avoid the Apple ecosystem for 3 reasons.

1 - The inevitable conclusion of Apple's walled garden is that once they fail to demonstrate organic revenue growth, they will begin converting their platform control into revenue, at the expense of users. In ways that make the App Store look quaint.

2 - I'm allergic to tech elitism, and I like messing with people who distilled their social litmus test down to the icon colors for non-standard SMS reimplementations.

3 - MacOS and power users are obviously so far off Apple's priority list at this point that relying on it as a work platform is a poor risk decision.

This discovery didn't actually involve LIGO, nor any other feats of impressive physical engineering. It was made by observing neutron stars and finding patterns in their unexpected perturbations.

Neutron star rotation is so consistent that they are used to calibrate atomic clocks[0]. However some of them were glitching and not rotating as expected, but the glitches were consistent between each other. It turns out they aren't actually glitching, but spacetime is being distorted by massive gravitational waves.

So official inflation statistics should not be applicable to people interested in purchasing assets, such as land? I am not understanding the reasoning.

Since most goods and services flow through the largest publicly listed companies, I consider equity market indexes like VTI or VOO to be a better gauge of inflation over the course of decades. It has been my experience that the prices I pay for things like land, daycare, education, healthcare, and even services like electricians/plumbers/other specialized labor follows the increase in equity markets, at least in my high cost of living area.

Also, the government will backstop equity prices by reducing the purchasing power of the currency, so that also tells me equity prices are tracking purchasing power.
I keep track of my home sale price estimate on Zillow, not because I think it’s wholly accurate but because it gives me an overall idea of how the market is trending. At the beginning of the year my home value dropped significantly, roughly 10-15% in a matter of months. It’s since completely recovered. Of course this is anecdata, but it seems to jive with what I’m seeing in general.

Actually once you have these tools at your disposal and see them, it's actually hard to not see them and find places to use them. String processing, bitset indices in data structures, etc. all have places where they naturally fit.

I have a data structure library (in Rust) where I would love to have these. The problem is that AVX-512 just isn't common enough to rely on it yet, and I don't even have it on my workstation CPU (Radeon 6850, from just last year).

But in particular whether they had something in mind, I suspect Intel was thinking about video codecs and containers for a lot of these. If you read through the specs for them, you will find all sorts of places which call for things like this.

But yes, whether compiler developers can make good use of these. Questionable. They are really for specialized optimization workflows.

That's a patently false statement.

There is room for exponential growth in housing. There is money for that exponential growth.

Those with the monies to do so simply aren't spending it on housing for median income families, single persons, elderly persons, homeless persons, etc.

Those with the financial ability simply don't spend in that manner.

There is no 'supply shortage' of housing. There are, however, discriminatory housing policies, practices, procedures, and fees.
