That's how they increase the account count and DAU count on the platform. Bigger numbers, more money from advertisers and more meaningless metrics.

That's not what it says:

"The Congressional Budget Office regularly updates its long-term budget forecasts and says that U.S. debt held by the public will surpass gross domestic product this fiscal year and that interest on that debt will equal about three-quarters of discretionary, nondefense spending. "
One usage of frames I recall was for sites that were meant to act as an index of other sites, where there’d be a sidebar on the left with links to various sites that opened on the right.

I think this was actually a pretty good use case for frames, especially back before browser tabs existed. It was nicer to run through a list of links in one window with frames than to jump back and forth through history or juggle multiple windows.
Ken addressed that: a generational change underway, which is always difficult for a company that's been successful.
I learnt to ride with extra wheels attached to the side of the bicycle, and as a result, I almost never fell during that learning process.

Translating the analogy back, what you describe is the entrepreneurial fail-until-you-win method. The alternative method of progression is that of apprenticeship or gradual promotion, which in my country is associated with traditionally middle-class professions like finance, medicine and law. In such a conventional career, success is almost guaranteed, as the number of people entering the profession is very close to the number retiring out of it, and the assumption is that, because the endeavour has always been profitable, it will be for you too.

Ideally, the profession as a whole gradually improves under this system, but no individual member of it has to engage in any more than an average level of risk to be personally successful.
For most places in the USA, you literally don't have a choice of ISP. For Git hosting platforms, you do, and I find it weird to write an article stating all the reasons you don't want to use a service, but conclude that you'll use it anyway as long as it's convenient.

The AI paragraph is particularly weird, since it states that "it's unethical" and in the next sentence that "Copilot is a fun tool that you should use".

It feels like the author was made aware of those complaints by somebody else, does not really understand or care about them, and wrote this blog as a sort of justification to keep using it. It is really strange.
Or… train it to handle a diverse range of freshly developing environments and scenarios without having a leash with central control.
I had thought that <b> and <i> describe how something should look, whereas <strong> and <em> describe the meaning of something. <b> means "this text should be thicker and darker than it normally would be", <strong> indicates "this text has gravitas... interpret that however you want". In other words, visual vs. semantic.

The traditional way is to reduce the surface area of the core package as much as possible, such that it sees less changes/releases overall.

The way I would do it with nix is: because everything gets hashed, just check that the built output with a new nix-pkg version matches the hash with the old version and fail out/fetch the older version as a second step. The rest is just finding ways to cache that build fail information so that you can share the result across users transparently.
Operations research has known this probably since the 60s and certainly since my dissertation in 2000[1] so I don’t really understand the article?

[1] amusingly my dissertation was about routing taxis efficiently around a set of pickup points, I distinctly remember thinking in a cab from the station that it was a shame there weren’t any devices that had GPS, maps, Internet and a programming interface to build something that looked a lot like Uber… oh well, execution and timing is everything I guess.
I'm confused, we've known about this for the past 60+ years, most commonly as a method for avoiding local minima/maxima when performing simulated annealing. What's the twist here? That it's proven?
Yes but providing medical advice doesn’t require a business relationship, it requires providing medical advice and asserting some level of medical authority. I have no intention of tearing down anything. But they should be very careful in how they describe what they’re offering, even if - perhaps especially if - it’s a free proof of concept in the open. Opening yourself up to personal liability an standing in non compliance with medical regulatory requirements is just a bad idea.

All they need to do is rigorously disclaim their work. Your appeal to the dire need of the world for better medical technology doesn’t withstand the need for strong medical regulations - history is full of dangerous quackery, these rules exist for a very carefully considered reason, even if they can be frustrating, and even if they’re overly broad now and need reform.

The point isn’t they are doing something wrong, it’s that they need to be very careful of how they describe their stuff. I 1000% agree democratizing medical data and services via open platforms is laudable. But just don’t set yourself up for legal trouble in that pursuit.
Cruise doesn't currently offer any payment for vulnerability disclosures [0] so I wouldn't be surprised if attacks involving this vector (think Stingrays) aren't going to be looked at now, if not already being exploited without the public hearing about it. A conspiracy theorist might note DEFCON happening this weekend and disruptions Cruise vehicles have experienced prior to this weekend as another potential explanation for these issues, rather than OSL-related congestion alone.

I have had a desire for a long time to have one device that was central to everything that I did digitally. Until recently, I thought of the device being a phone that contained all my digital assets and relied on standard peripherals that are shared: wall screens, keyboards and monitors at public areas like libraries, monitor and docking setup at home, etc. Such a device would have encrypted backups on at least 2 independent cloud vendors, and if I lost my device, I could immediately buy a new one and have it refresh from a cloud backup.

Recently, since I often now leave my phone at home and just wear an Apple Watch, I am thinking that a smaller device than a phone would be good.

I am assuming the kind of infrastructure where my one device could privately and securely use ambient peripherals.

I think that too much of our life is spent maintaining and fooling around with digital devices. I think that a one device capability would let people make full use on digital infrastructure while freeing up time.
PS: Also, what does "The same can't be said of other human activities" mean?

Even the worst of superstitions and persecutions eventually stopped. The Romans eventually stopped feeding Christians to lions. The Catholic Church eventually realized burning witches wasn't a good idea. Germany renounced Nazism. Europe eventually realized colonialism was a bit sus. Americans eventually abolished slavery. Things do fix themselves, even outside the realm of science. Is there a similar "beauty" in those systems as well?

What is so special about the modern scientific process, in which you seem to admit it has flaws, just like religious and political systems, that allows it to realize the truth unlike the others?
And why would you waste money on waiting for me to come up to speed when there are literally thousands of people who know react and can hit the ground running?

There is something here. Other commenters are comparing to Disqus and Reddit, but I actually think the surface area here is potentially larger.

Imagine subreddits for every domain on the web, automatically.
r/news.ycombinator.com, r/<insert popular blog url>, etc. Reddit kind of does this today, but only for sites with enough fans ~on reddit~. It's the last 2 words in that sentence that are important. Disqus's surface area is limited by site admins that set it up, Reddits surface area is limited by having a critical mass of reddit users for a particular site. This is sort of different.

I don't think browser extension is your best distribution strategy. Largely I would go for a completely open thing closer to reddit r/<insert url> structure, but keep using the browser extension as a way to make interacting with that community a little easier for users. User adoption and critical mass is kind of the main way this is interesting, so you have to find communities online around content that has super fans, but doesn't have forums, etc. already up. Or you have to get those forums and subreddits to move to your thing which is a challenge.

Here are a couple of ideas:
- YouTubers, when people are watching a YouTube video by a certain YouTuber, have your extension build community around the YouTuber's channel rather than the video (which is the limit of YouTube comments today)
- Find blogs with huge audiences, where the blogger only has a premium, paid community. You can be the open community for all of the fans that won't pay for the premium community
> Earning median wage most of that goes towards rent. There's nothing left to save. Move further away and you lose big on earnings.

If you are in your teens or 20's in a median wage income, then I advise considering vanlife grinding towards FIRE. I spent so much time in libraries or labs at that stage of my life that in hindsight, I should have dismissed the stigma of "homelessness" and adopted vanlife, scraped enough together for a duplex down payment, rent both sides out initially until one side is paid off, and then settle in that side should I want out of vanlife at that point.

A long time ago I reached the conclusion whoever plays "crazy" or "fool" long and consistently enough is in practice crazy/fool. It makes no difference what the person believes inside their mind, if they always play the fool, they are fools.

Slightly different part of the fediverse, but after Reddit killed off Apollo I wanted my own lemmy, hosted off my own domain, to see how it would interact.

I’ve since spun up a vm to run voyager as my Apollo replacement, connecting to my local lemmy as my Reddit replacement.

Both work pretty seamless with other larger federated instances, and I got to have fun setting it up.

Even got to post how, on the lemmy, which I can share out to other lemmy communities.

It’s all far nicer and more integrated than I initially imagined.

Recently my robotics team started using a web app called SPOT for scouting matches at competitions, at first we used the recommended free hosting service, but we ran into some rate limiting issues, so I just cloned the project and hosted it on my home server.

Out of curiosity, I also tried hosting it on an old LG G2 phone I had around, and it worked great, even though this is a 10+ year old phone (currently running the last version of LineageOS that was available for it, Android 11)

Yes that’s my challenge to the community more or less. It’s a problem that can be solved. But you shouldn’t expect people with a journalism degree to figure it out.

Think of all solutions to a problem as a weirdly shaped wavy graph, you might select a solution that has some states that appear to work great but cause other better states to be impossible, the gradient search is good but you that and big jumps occasionally to check you aren’t in a local peak or trough. There’s loads of stuff in operations research about it.
Yes! I just used it last week to create a quick gallery website. It's been a lot of fun playing around with it. Like the other poster said though I wasn't able to get it to do everything I wanted in frontend so used a bit of vanilla javascript as well.
Honestly, this sounds like a good decision that'll benefit both the modders and Rockstar. Rockstar stops looking like the bad person and is able to better ID the needs of modders, and the modders get a lot more access than they previously had.
I thought this sounded weird so I tried it.

It took me about two mins, and most of that was because I typed a minimal html page on my phone using vi.

I get that, and the update is much appreciated. I don't mean to insinuate that this was the intention behind why that language was chosen; its just the sentiment that the language conveys, and that's why I'm not a fan of it.

The stance that I take is; its a fine line between Oversharing and Passing Blame in outages like this, and while I'm happy that a line like that when shared by Render means it was just oversharing (I love your product!), its easy to see how a line like that when shared by a less admirable company could be seen as "Nah man, its not on us, we didn't do anything wrong." A critical difference being; if Cloudflare was the cause, how are we working toward avoiding this cause in the future; which leads nicely to where pointing at Cloudflare (or any upstream provider) generally feels more agreeable; the retro.

To be clear; I have no intention of leaving Render, even if y'all weren't planning to alleviate this SPOF. I fully grok the difficult engineering required to nuke SPOFs like Cloudflare or AWS; and a bit of downtime here and there is a price I'm fine with paying.

One thing you can do with a degree in philosophy is get into law school. After graduating from law school you can be employed as a lawyer. They’re not philosophy lawyers, just normal lawyers.

This isn’t some fringe thing. Play around with some Google searches like “what can you do with a philosophy degree?”, “best pre-law degrees”, “philosophy and law school” and you will see what else one could possibly do with a degree in philosophy.
Yes! I said exactly the same thing, it seems very strange the the whole body of work around operations research with heuristics like Tabu search, squeaky wheel and other ways to try to shake out closer to optimal without the expense of enumerating every solution…
How is that giving medical advice? that's a mission statement.

If my mission statement is to provide everyone with a private lawyer, then is that giving lawful advice?

Ah, I see what you mean now and this makes sense! I was overlooking the root dataset and probably slightly misusing the term 'filesystem' in a way that your usage made clear. What I was calling a 'filesystem' I should have called 'the root dataset'. So both APFS containers and APFS volumes are like ZFS datasets.

Thanks very much for the detailed reply!
It's a neat trick to demo a PoC on your phone if you find something really poorly optimized.

I took a product that was "required" "minimum spec" to be run on a c5.2xlarge, fixed it and ran it on my phone, with a load test.

It achieves showing how wasteful their approach to resources was, and how powerful smartphones have become, and a cool way to show off.

If someone wants to know how resource intensive something is, if you can say I can get X Tx/QPS on my phone, it's probably not that complicated, and not that hard to run/maintain.

Great point! Totally agree.

I also think -- in the spirit of learning -- most of the folks on HN would probably like to know more details about the fine-tuning cost, procedures, trade-offs, etc. as well as about evaluation frameworks.
Perfect is the enemy of good. Put it in as you have it right now, while you’re getting the HN traffic. Not everyone reads the comments. Replace it when you have something better. I’d open a PR but I’m in the bath.

Sure, but there's a time and a place. Outages involve high tensions and fog of war; and you said it yourself, you're already ready to blame them for not having backup generators in this hypothetical example. The midst of an outage is not the time to start casting blame, on people, organizations, processes, providers, whatever. Outages are the time to fix; retros are the time to blame (within productive reason, of course).
