My anecdotal experience agrees that blog posts with promotions are better than "here's my product" , on average. Though you can just do both.

I've front paged Hacker News a few times and I've recently had a lot of success promoting a product on Reddit.

Often times I see boostrappers hype up Twitter as a marketing channel and lament that Reddit / Hacker News is impossible since it's a lottery to get upvotes, mods take stuff down, and users are hostile to promotion. While there's some truth to that, I think these people don't "get" these upvote platforms.

If you drive-by and drop off a link to a product, it'll probably get lost. If you write something really interesting then leave a promotional message at the end, it'll probably work fine. On sites like Reddit specifically, it's better to put more content in the post rather than link out (sucks for your site's SEO but much more likely to get upvoted).

There's definitely some luck to Hacker News but cream also does tend to rise to the top and you're allowed to re-submit.

It's annoying that there's a subset of HN and Reddit that think that anyone trying to make a dime on the internet is somehow sub-human, but they are a minority . I followed my strategy with a a Reddit post recently and the person complaining about my promotion of a paid product at the end got 13 downvotes ( https://www.reddit.com/r/poker/comments/13wt05l/lsg_hanks_ri... ) . Because people liked the content so will forgive a promotion if there's some value add.

Ultimately people value being entertained and value learning useful information. So if you can do one of those two things, they will probably forgive a product shoutout.

Funny thing is I really struggle with Twitter and have the "tweeting into a void" problem but Reddit / HN seem to come more naturally to me. Though I'm guessing the secret is another variation of "be more entertaining or more informative".

But you can also try different stuff, you can do a Show HN and a blog post.

There's one last really important thing I don't see mention on Max Woolf's Hacker News undocumented. If you submit your own blog too many times without enough upvotes, you will get auto-flagged. So make sure you submit some random other stuff you find interesting to please the algorithm gods. But that goes back to "act like a regular member of the community and the community will forgive some self-promotion".
Some devs do link their elf/linux binaries on arch elf/linux, and then have symbol version issues once running in the steam runtime.
They have to link with the steam runtime and not with the arch elf/linux binaries.
Sure, I can probably work around people who want to make their blog painful to read. I'd just rather read blogs written by people who want to make them easy to read...

These asks are so at ends with one another.

FoundationDB is not easy to set up. And it ships with near nothing out of the box; you have to build layers atop it's foundation to do nearly anything. But the polish is through the roof and it's one of the least likely systems to turn into a live hand gernade on the planet.

Etcd is a quite excellent piece of technology that is actually, relatively speaking, quite easy to set up, is quite polished, has few all in all drawbacks. It's great tech. But software alone isn't going to change the fact that you're operating a distributed system.

The biggest problem, in my view, is that there are so few opportunities to get any real experience with most of these systems. You kind of need to be running thousands of decent sized instances all at once to begin to appreciate the weirder sides of what could happen & what you need to do in response. For most people, many of these distributed db systems operate just fine. Until one day they don't, and then they are totally hosted & either suffering extended outages, rollbacks, or worse. Simple things like node rotations usually go smoothly, but don't generate the same kind of hard-fought experience. Your ask about starting out feels like it's asking for the safest most secure route, but only battle hardened rainy-day ordeals are ever going to actually get you to a place of comfort.

Hence... maybe just use postgres instead.

The HN demographic is all the more likely to find, develop, and/or promote alternatives to YouTube.

I didn't mention those in my comment above as the main issue was alternative front ends to mainstream services, but another obvious option is alternative services.

The key stumbling points for that seem to be discoverability and monetisation.
Well, it was only a mouse and cat game here.(with local exemption for France for example that provide an exit pass but render the tools without much interest after)

The focus on Google Analytics is really funny because plenty other company use similar tech to track users (pardot pixel, hubspot etc...) And both parent company are us bases so similar 'transfer to us' is being made with much more PII than google analytics.

There are about 300 million ICE cars in the US. BEVs are nowhere near ready to replace ICE cars.

What’s ironic is that BEV fans are just repeating the same anti-EV arguments used against BEVs. They’re not even aware that BEVs were at zero just a decade and a half ago. The fact is, FCEVs are needed by millions of people. As the world shifts to green energy, FCEVs will play a major role and likely one much bigger than what BEVs ever could’ve achieved. So the whole argument is just an act of shortsightedness.
Yeah the recipes are Plots.jl's strength. We will need more time to get there, I've always felt that the statefulness you get from having interactivity gets in the way of easy composability a bit. In Plots, you assemble one big plot description from recipes that then gets translated to a backend representation once. In Makie (currently) each plot object gets instantiated immediately, ready to go for interaction. But in the future, we might add a layer on top that builds full descriptions first, like Plots, then instantiates at once.

As a side note, package extensions in Julia 1.9 mean that any package can now in principle extend Makie without directly depending on it. That should remove one of the big blockers for adoption, as admittedly, Makie is a heavy dependency to take on.
If the formula works why not
I'm never going to be one to buy merch, and there are a lot of creators whose content I occasionally enjoy but don't want to pay directly via e.g. Patreon. Premium views pay more to them, so you're also doing a bit more to support the creators you watch as well.
So it is like two screens before the “real” interview? Weird. Sounds like a very lengthy process!
you're right. making an activity illegal always stops it.
Interesting. But I believe you're be wrong about Show HN (as others have pointed out).

Show HN makes for an effective way to get to the front page, based on three reasons:

1. You don't need that many votes to make it to the front page, and the votes don't need to happen in the first minutes after you've posted.

2. Many people use shownew[1] in addition to newest[2] to discover content on HN.

3. Show HN posts remain visible for a longer time on shownew compared to regular posts on newest.

When you post using Show HN, your post stays for a long time in shownew (right now the last one there was posted 19 hours ago), while on newest your post has to gather votes very quickly to make it to the front page (the last post visible there is from ~50 minutes ago). So Show HN gives you a higher chance of getting your post "discovered".

In my case, I've made it to the front page 4 times out of 21 posts. 3 of those were Show HN posts.

Copying already copyrighted assets is clearly regulated. Valve knows what to do in this situation, and simply pulling down the offending game complies with the copyright regime.

It's unclear what the rules are going to be for AI generated art. There has been no law, or no court case, deciding it. As such, Valve is being a bit more defensive here to limit exposure.

I agree it's not a great trend, but it seems inevitable when this can lead to massive risk (lawsuits including Valve), and the upside is negligible. Valve is not going to lose market share over this, at least not for the foreseeable future.

Very few posts so far since I’ve mostly been focused on my book, but I’m hoping to start posting updates more regularly as soon as I’m finished with the extra online content for my book.
> These kids are going to be helpless dweebs.

Really? Why? I drove my kid to school up until the point that he got his driver's license this year and could drive himself. He's not a helpless dweeb. In fact, he just caught a plane to DC to attend a high school summer program at Georgetown University. He didn't have any trouble navigating himself there. I didn't hear a word from the time he left the house until he called me to let me know he'd checked into the dorm five states away.

I wonder what crops can cope with the shade that is being cast by the panels. Or whether there is a clever arrangement of the panels that allows for enough light to reach the plants.
> programming is completely artless

Strong disagree - although it depends on how you define art

Is adding form to function artless? Is architecture artless?

If you use a highly choreographed engineered process for creating a piece of art - does that make the outcome artless?
One way I categorise artists I have met is engineer-type artists versus discovery-type artists: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31981875

i also think art is defined by the perception of the viewer (and has far less to do with the creator than is usually presumed!)
Maybe it’s a symptom of where I live, but many teenagers I know would simply say “try and take it away from me” and wait for enforcement. Very few teachers would engage, and they know that. Teenagers crave and seek out agency. A phone not only provides some of that to them, but resisting having it taken away does as well. It’s a battleground.

If students can’t use them, neither should adults.

> That said; we also have "Cloud Engineer" as a job title, so I'm not sure we will learn this lesson.

I don't bill myself as such, but I am basically a "Cloud Engineer". My expertise is in no way dependent on a particular cloud, and I've done work in GCP, AWS, Azure, Rackspace, and even a private cloud or two. A VM is a VM, Postgres is still (more or less) PG regardless of who is hosting it. Sure, there are specifics, but even cloud-specific stuff really doesn't differ too much, and it's pretty easy to find the common memes between the two. I can assign a role to VM in AWS, an IAM service account to a VM in GCP, and an "identity" in Azure. All 3 then permit the VM to make API calls to the respective cloud. All 3 fetch their access token in basically the same (but incompatible, of course) ways: HTTP request to a magic link-local IP.

A lot of the concerns I deal with, such as "can we survive an outage? what types?" depend on concepts like failure domains that apply equally to a cloud or to a datacenter.

But at some point, I had to dip my toe into a new cloud. I started a new job, and they used this thing called "Azure", and at that point, I'd never heard of it before. But you approach it with an open mind and the right balance of "some of my old knowledge might be relevant, but this new thing might also work differently and I should be prepared to build a separate mental model around it if the old knowledge is leading me astray."

… and I'd expect the same from someone doing "data analytics"; I'd expect something like "math is math, how I collect the data might change, what APIs I use to process it might change but the math is the same."
k3s started with sqlite and moved to etcd so I'd start with finding out why in that case

This is one thing I kind of hate about Mastodon.

And your example isn't even accurate to what is happening.

Imagine signing up for @gmail.com meant you can't send to anyone at @outlook.com because like 2 users on Outlook said something "kind of rude" if you take it out of context and get over sensetive about EVERYTHING.

Like, I am all for inclusion, and fuck rude people etc, but you can see an e tire instance blocked because one user was a jackass to one tiny server admin who stuck the offending instance on some unmoderated blacklist website with something vague like "hate speech".

Its over the top.

> Probably an unpopular opinion, but it's sucky to see these tools constantly getting nerfed.

Why would it be popular to nerf tools? I thought people all preferred the more powerful LLM models.
Quick info:

> This is where Kellin Pelrine steps in. Pelrine is a good player, but an amateur. Specifically, he's one level below the top amateur ranking. He's also one of the study authors, so he was well aware of the vulnerabilities of KataGo, so he thought why not try his own hand?

> Apparently, it was surprisingly easy to find a way to defeat AI by exploiting its weakness. Pelrine managed to beat KataGo 14 out of 15 times. For comparison, KataGo beat AlphaGo 100 times out of 100, and AlphaGo beat mankind's best player 4-1.

One caveat is that this is vs AlphaGo which was trained on pro games, so has biases in what it's been trained on. I wonder if it would do as well against AlphaZero which is only from self-play. The article says KataGo is the strongest, so stronger than AlphaZero. Because of non-transitivity, it's also not known if the same weaknesses exist in AlphaZero. The warning for weaknesses in AI/ML is still of great importance when applying the tech.
I moved off of windows a while ago, last windows I seriously worked on was 7. When the metro stuff started coming around I was on my way out. I never really used 10 (did that exist, was it skipped?) or 11, only set it up for others, very quickly so I didn't have to spend any more time on it, and the dark patterns regarding online accounts as well as the start menu ads just reassured me I'd made the right decision.
Kia boys?

Think I finally left it this weekend. First time in years I haven’t been on Twitter in a day or two. I didn’t really hit the rate limit much but the discourse is now all about this and getting less and less fun, plus having all the worst people alive at the top of replies is such a strange choice. Honestly thought I’d be the last person to leave but it’s getting easier.
This seems like a separation that's a little too clean to fit reality. Does that hard line of distinction really exist?

Certainly there are clear examples on both ends of the spectrum, but here's some closer to the boundaries of your definition from my own hometown - I wonder how you'd classify these:

1. This street of sanctioned individual pieces, mostly "tags" but elaborate full-wall pieces each by an individual tagger: https://maps.app.goo.gl/byceFqUQSaTeun2q6?g_st=ic

2. This unsanctioned (currently in court) full-building mural done by an ad agency: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/73/60/f6/7360f64042a71f241fe8...

---

(personally I'd call the sanctioned tags both murals and graffiti, and definitely classify them as art, but I'd only call the ad agency piece a mural; neither graffiti nor art - though I fully acknowledge that last judgement is a subjective one and not something universal)
The things you mention are media, and that world is heavily loaded with advertising.

Other industries have it but it isn’t attention whoring trash, it’s more subtle. The free coffee at a conference, the rep dropping by to say hello. The brand name on the pens.

The strong views against advertising are a very logical reaction to the obnoxious methods used.
This article breaks it down by category. But that doesn't really say much. Its about content.

For example a blog post by Linus Torvalds has a better chance than a blog post by me. (I don't think he has a blog - but we've see some salty commit messages etc by him).

Similarly, if its an academic paper titled "P = NP proven" it will probably shoot to the font page.

Companies that just want their stuff to be on the front page need to make more interesting stuff.

It's orthogonal to dedup being on or off, and as someone else said, it's more or less the same underlying semantics you would expect from cp --reflink anywhere.

Also, as mentioned, on Linux, it's not wired up with any interface to be used at all right now.
Thanks for your explanation. I am just suspicious of anyone disregarding a study for perceived political convenience without any explanation at all. But I get it now.

Specifically it makes chloramine gas, the same stuff that (in fairly low concentrations) makes swimming pools stink. It can be lethal so definitely take it seriously, although it's not nearly so gnarly as real mustard gas.

However much you exercise your body becomes less efficient at producing and absorbing any number of amino acids and proteins, including arginine, creatine, taurine, etc. It’s not unreasonable to supplement exercise with safe anti aging regimes, and it’s absurd to have an anti aging regime without improved diet, regular mixed exercise, etc. There’s no reason to willfully ignore the science, which says aging comes with an inexorable decline in various crucial amino acids, etc, and that exercise/diet improves the entire system. Doing a sensible and safe total system regime that optimizes along a typical decline curve has all sorts of benefits, including the ability to better take advantage of exercise and diet, but also reduces systemic dysfunction due to imbalances in the availability of basic building blocks like amino acids, minerals, etc, that can be difficult to get in sufficient quantity from the best of diets for an aged person.

TL;DR these aren’t mutually exclusive and are synergistic approaches
As someone that has probably used my deck docked at my desk more than anything…

1. Suspend and resume. If I’ve got a quick 20 minutes I can hit the button, change the input on a monitor, pick up my controller and play. No need to shut a bunch of stuff down to free up RAM, wait for the game to start, wait for a save to load, etc. And no need to worry about getting to a save point, finish a cut scene… just suspend.
2. It doesn’t heat my office up a bazillion degrees like my desktop.
Yep, I loved programming when I was introduced to it in 6th grade or so. There was an after-school program where we could go to the high school and use their TRS-80 computers. I was instantly hooked.

Fast forward through a career of doing it, and I am sick of it. When I retire I want to de-tech my life as much as I can. I'll probably keep a smartphone but I don't think I'll have a computer in the house.

It's essentially the "Freemium" model, except the paying minority pays by giving consent rather than cash.

The issue is, that Facebook argued they had a "legitimate interest" in forcing everyone to pony up their privacy. Similar to a paywall, you see a banner where you can only ACCEPT.

Whether that is fair is mostly an arbitrary choice, but the EU seems to have ruled against that kind of coercive consent.
I have a newsletter blog called Engineering Leadership (https://newsletter.eng-leadership.com/) and I write about (you guessed it :)) topics that are all things Engineering Leadership related.

The goal is to help:

- Engineers who want to progress their careers.

- Engineering leaders in the engineering leadership role for the first time.

- Seasoned engineering leaders who want to stay up-to-date.

- Founders who want to learn what it takes to build a high-performing engineering organization.

- Everyone who wants to learn more about engineering leadership topics in general.

Hey, thanks for the blog. But i can't find the Power Off button.
Just got back from holiday in Norway and chatting to several locals they were under the impression that it was a huge problem. Looking at stats it seems that on an international basis it's it so high though, maybe just relative to other local issues.

The lack of proper nights (even if in the south there was technically a sunset) was really tough for me though, it messed with my sleeping patterns a lot. I can imagine winter being even worse.
Wow, while I knew about the pool, I didn't know there was a page that actually showed it.
This looks very nice, thanks for sharing. I will be sharing this internally this week.

Why are they common there? From a Google search, they are supposed to have 278 teeth. Make it 300 if you will. Given the time we've known for this place, I would assume that even if there were 10 megalodon sharks dead there, the 3000 teeth would be long gone! Is this a cemetery for sharks? Was there like a giant megalodon pond that went dry?
