Depends on what you are looking for. Less moderated sites like 8chan drift heavily to the extreme political right and even into illegal stuff, but if that's your cup of tea you'll find a pretty active community there. It's just the liberal and scientific sites that need to weed out the crackpots, but that is an endless uphill battle.

It’s not about speed, compatibility with Firefox is actually getting worse. I switched (back) to FF and DDG a few months ago and FF is having trouble with multiple websites I use on occasion (for an example off the top of my head, if I want to log-in to Haaretz.co.il to get past pay walls I have to use safari as FF doesn’t manage to log in).

This is still the small minority of sites but I keep safari and chrome around as it still happens often enough.
Because it would cause largely pointless discussions about the content of the list. Maybe you feel like "yourpointofview.com" has really compelling content that you would like to discuss. The HN moderation team thinks it does not and ultimately it's their call.
Code lets you do the weirdest things - you can't tap into the oven circuit with a separate outlet, but you can install a sub panel in place of the oven outlet, then run two lines from the sub panel, one to the oven outlet, and one to the kitchen plug.

All they care about is that you can't run more current down a wire than it's rated for.
The vast majority of all posts get ~0 traction. Even prolific posters of highly-upvoted links like todsacerdoti* are probably only getting around 1 in 10 to the frontpage at all, let alone for a meaningful period of time.

It's good to have a reminder now and then that some people have no clue how much work goes into effectively moderating a community to keep it functional.

Yeah, of course HN bans a ton of sites. I'm glad they do and I trust the mods to maintain that list correctly. If I feel they are banning sites unnecessarily I'll leave but so far I see no evidence of it.
What characteristics does code share with literature? Code is more like a manual. Or rather, that's exactly what it is.

I would be more than satisfied if I had to eat the loss, but PayPal lost their license to act as a Money Services Business, at least in my state.
A monopoly is a profit fountain. You can use that monopoly to leverage yourself into new monopolies (because you have capital to waste/dump e.g. Microsoft), and use that collection of monopolies to leverage yourself into political influence. Monopolies are like cancer.

edit: to expand; a monopoly is by nature a political thing. Once you control the market, you control the suppliers and retailers, and you don't actually have to manufacture or handle the products that you control. You set your suppliers prices, you set your wholesale prices, and you set your retail prices. Your real job then consists of fending off politicians/regulators that become interested in what you have, and creating politicians/regulators that will help you get more of what you want.
Probably painfully, like the full real scientific names for chemical compounds and biological species, where there are hudreds or even thousands of variations of things.

I would imagine that in a system like this, you end up adding only the particular extra detail that matters at the time, and so you almost never say quite the same thing as what we mean by "coffee".

Instead it would be just "drink" most of the time (and for all I know maybe even that is too specific and it's really just "liquid" or "liquid food", but anyway...)

And then when you come in from shovelling snow, your partner has "hot drink" ready for you, because "hot" is the extra property that matters.

And when you get up in the morning, you want "invogorating drink" to get going, because "invogorating" is the extra detail that matters. (setting aside that I bet "invogorating" is NOT one of the precious few 120 available words, but there will be something like active or up or positive or fast)

And rarely bother trying to express all the of the bag of properties that "coffee" conveys.

And if you DO once in a while, maybe that is not so different from English anyway.

"a steaming hot mug of black coffee" is a lot of syllables, and we would say all of that in English if we happened to want to express all of those facets, so maybe it's not all that different?

Even if the list were public, its enforcement will still involve a million subtle decisions that you have no hope of ever personally litigating with anything approaching fairness, but the moderators' jobs would be much harder because you can bet that every bad faith actor on that list would rush to clog up the forum with "informal appeals."

It always comes back to trust and experience.
On the other hand, I don't think i've found much need to block people on HN due to the usually excellent community.

Yea, though it's not local. They claim it is, but then use ChatGPT .. which is odd.

Personally i want to build a fairly dumb system though. Ie make a system which can be useful with LLama2 13B or w/e. Something that doesn't require state of the art GPT4+.

If that means compromising on some features that's fine, but at least then it can be truly and fully local.

All I'm seeing here is a commenter who has made a claim and won't support that claim with evidence. I wish they'd answer your question.
I think you might miss the point slightly, moving too far the discussion on the other side.

It's perfectly normal to wonder how can one administrate something when one doesn't understand it.
Especially when there can be such debilitating effects.

In clinical settings, things are way less clear than you make it seem. All psychosis are not equal and even all diagnostic of a same patient are not equal.

There is a lot more caution that should be advised. Including in the administration protocols instead of handwaving and just claiming that it should be taken life-long (which betrays that it's not a cure).

It does not even make sense in the first place that there is no attempt at finding the base neuro-transmitter levels in and out of psychotic phases for each patient before deciding on the posology of a treatment.
Managing plasma concentration in a finer-grained way might avoid some (not all) of the issues with neuroleptics.

Some people even only have a few episodes every few years and are still put on life-long treatment with all the side-effects that can then be seen.

It needs to be way more fine-grained if not restudied.
Charitably?

Someone who believes that because we can't tell some kinds of good speech from some kinds of bad speech, we should give up trying.

It makes about as much sense as eating a moldy blue cheese once, enjoying it[1], and deciding that from now on, you won't turn your nose at eating whatever putrescent, rotting garbage is put in front of you, regardless of how sick it makes you.

----

Less charitably?

Someone who can very much tell the difference between good and bad speech, but is cynically promoting bad speech, for selfish reasons.

I didn't know that, thanks. Hopefully it's strictly enforced.
It may also just mean more users are opting out of telemetry. Given Mozilla's privacy focus in their marketing and their UX, it may not be a shock that a large number of users are also opting out of even Mozilla's telemetry.

I agree, it can't be clear unless you know what's on the list. More transparency is better than less, right? We're all adults here.
I could be wrong, but I was always under the impression that companies that are in ycombinator get an inital boast in the jobs posts but also quickly fall off as such links don't allow comments.

From what I've noticed, free speech advocacy isn't really about "allowing everything" but more about not applying more censorship than what is necessary and not doing it arbitrarily. HN does quite well in this regard - there are principles in running the site which are adhered to and which are required to keep the community from deteriorating into social media-quality discourse.

For example, banning someone only for not liking their views is obviously legal and permitted almost everywhere, but a site/forum doing that doesn't adhere to the principles of free speech then. Which they don't necessarily have to do, but that's what free speech advocates are fighting for - for more places to adopt the conduct of not doing that.
I believe archive.org is one of the sites because I tried to post an economist link using it to circumvent the paywall once and the post seemed to be shadow deleted

Ask HN: Why are Google Chrome extensions not compatible with Firefox?
I see many HNers supporting Firefox and lament as it's usage lessens. I do too. Firefox is where I started web development back since the Firebug days.

Today, I was thinking, that if Chrome extensions were compatible with Firefox, won't it's adoption be more?

Couldn't Firefox put some kind of a compatibility layer for a majority, if not all, for the extensions?

After all, they are primarily html, css and javascript, as far as I'm aware.

I guess this is a very simplistic viewpoint as I'm not aware of all the complications that it involves.

Maybe others more knowledgeable can shed some light?
You’re not punchy. HN has seen a massive growth of anti-intellectualism in the past couple months.

I’ve read “scientists will be cancelled for doing science” no less than 30 times this week alone.

See. The climate change deniers read a fake graph, call THAT “doing science”, and then complain that their demonstrably incorrect assertions are “cancelled”.

When they say that “people are cancelled for correlating sun activity with climate change”, what they really mean is “people won’t listen to my shitty, demonstrably incorrect talking point”.

The demonstrably incorrect graphs haven’t been doing so hot, so now they’re just trying to discredit all of science altogether with vague claims that have literally never happened. They think this fear based posturing will work on everyone else because of how well it works on them.
There are many standard lithium ion cell sizes, here is a list: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_battery_sizes#Lithiu...

Many battery packs (power tolls, Tesla, and more) are just a bunch of cells ganged together with a battery management controller inside a plastic shell.

The problem lies in the connectors/controllers being proprietary.

It's the same way that shadow banning is effective, it lets people post links that are automatically flagged, saving moderator resources.
Not personally but we absolutely have users dealing with 1000+ table databases . SQLAlchemy includes mass reflection and dynamic mapping features and there are also extensions like SQLACodeGen that generate mappings as python source code. Additionally, its not unreasonable that applications within an organization are composed such that they refer only to a particular segment of such a database, but across the organization there is source code that refers to the database as a whole in the aggregate.
I think gambling is rarely rich people with boring lives seeking a quick thrill and more often not rich people living lives of quiet desperation chasing a dopamine high that they can sort of back-rationalize as a get-rich-quick scheme. Gambling is absolutely predatory, it exploits a flaw in the human firmware that used to make us good hunter gatherers but now just makes us targets for people who understand the bug.
I've love to see the list for curiosities sake, but I imagine a solid 90% of it is either porn, or scam sites.

HN has good moderation unlike a lot of communities, Reddit included. The community has changed over the years, but it's still more tolerable than most and I'm happy with how it's moderated.
I’ve actually been doxxed from Hn comments and it wasn’t pleasant (although I don’t make a huge effort to hide my identity).

Having said that I think it would be a much different site if comments could be freely removed. So I’m okay with the friction of having to email a human to get your stuff removed.
HN also automatically marks some comments with keywords; for example this one because it had "cirlejerk" in it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36217592

(I suppose this one might be [dead] initially too?)
My house is over a century old, nothing is to code anyway. I'm wondering if I could get away with a 20A 120v line meant for a microwave, and swap the neutral to the other leg and wire it to a type e connector. Type e is 16a so the current is fine, but the insulation was intended to separate 120 not 240.
HN is known to use this tactic with comments, no reason to suspect they don't also use it for submissions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_banning
There is no "right to access information."

There are many rights called out specifically as "natural rights" or "God-given rights" but your ability to access a data store that is not yours isn't one of them, nor is it among the unenumerated rights alluded to in the U.S. Constitution.

Chrome may be misbehaving. Chrome may be detecting that you have a video downloader plugin and blocking you. Perhaps... Don't use Chrome. I personally recommend Firefox. But one thing Chrome, Google, and YouTube are not doing is infringing upon your rights.
Hey Mr. Know-it-all
There WILL be a situation where you know nothing. Maybe your refrigerator would die and the technician would be scheduled two weeks from now. You would write about it on HN and some asshole would write:

So? It's not like shitty Samsung refrigerators is the only one model available.

I really do have to wonder about people who choose refrigerators using R407c refrigerant where temperature glide causes compressor valves to wear out prematurely. People apparently spent exactly zero minutes to try and find a solution.

src/main/java is a convention that started with Maven; it's simple to change in the project build file (pom.xml). Otherwise, it's due to the fact that a package namespace in Java must correspond to a directory tree.
My understanding was that some people in the community believed that GPLv3 was better, and one of Linus's criticisms was that it was essentially impossible to switch even if it were better. I also believe Linus was opposed to the switch, which would make it unlikely anyway, but even if he had approved, I still think it would be practically impossible.
> None has any demonstrated underlying pathology

Mechanical damage to parts of the brain can cause personality changes. Multiple neurological syndromes are directly linked to macroscopic brain changes. This includes schizophrenia, traumatic brain injuries dramatically increase its risk.

We also know that schizophrenia almost never happens along with epilepsy. They are almost mutually exclusive.

It's fair to say there is no single macroscopic trigger for schizophrenia, but that's it.
It's not bizarre to me at all. Gambling is at the heart of the modern mobile gaming industry and its exploitation of its customers. On top of that, gambling companies are paying influencers to promote gambling like the cigarette companies used to pay movie stars.

It would be for the good of everybody if the entire industry, sports betting, casino's, p2w freemium games, lootboxes including for cosmetics, TCG "booster packs", paying streamers to promote this poison, all of it is better off if it were banned honestly. Every sale of any game should give people the same cards, same characters, same equipment, same cosmetics, none of this gambling garbage.
Since the R1T can tow 11,000 pounds and weighs about 7000 lbs with a GVWR of about 8500 lbs, and you need that tag in NC if you plus your toad (towed vehicle) is over 9000 lbs, then it's easiest to get it right up front.
You can switch "showdead" setting to "yes", and look for posts marked "[dead]" in https://news.ycombinator.com/newest (though those also can be from shadow-banned users, not based on domain only).
Reddit does have a list of blocked domains, apparently they even wholesale block things on the .ru top level domain.
useCallback makes sure that you don't recreate a function you need in a component at every re-render but only when its dependencies change. It returns a function.

useMemo returns a value which is the result of calling the function it is given once the dependencies change.

So useCallback is basically useMemo called with a function that returns a function.

The issue with that is the ownership of the name.

Name is identity, and thus the canonical representation of "Terraform" is now BSL.

However, if you don't have an identifier such as the trademarked name and you look at the project itself then I think you're right.

I don't have knowledge about Svelte so you may be right about it solving all those issues. My contention is with regards to the general idea of the article and some comments that seem to indicate that everything was good in the web development world before React introduced a bunch of problems. React did introduce some problems, but to sell me on migrating I'll need to see that the new framework solves the issues inherent to web development, not just the issues that React created.
Me too. I find the vast majority supports it fine. I find those that do not are happy to fix the problem, often within a few days or maybe a month.
You can do A/B tests to figure out what sorts of behaviors ride the line of triggering bans vs what kinds of behaviors result in an outright ban. It lets you optimize for just-trash-enough to not get banned, which is not a desirable end state for users.

I'm surprised that someone hasn't created a sports-themed collectible card game that uses real players for the roster.

One of the real magic things about Madden as a videogame is that it has the same teams and players you know, with stats intended to reflect their real-world performance. The result is that you can take all of the sports knowledge you already have in your head from being into football and know that knowledge materially makes you better at this videogame.

Seems like you could do the same thing for a collectible card game and make a mint.
Only Hashicorp employees are allowed to comment here? How about the person that actually built it? Maybe he has interesting things to say. Also, he's been silent on HN as a whole, not just Hashicorp-related threads.

Maybe he signed a gag order and cashed out. We may never know.
There was a time when the DSi was integrated with Facebook for direct uploading of the photos you shot on it. The resolution that it took pictures at (640x480) was considerably higher than the resolution it could display on screen (256x192), so it isn't as crazy as it sounds.
Oh yes, there is definitely a lot of that around!
Don't forget to subscribe to their newsletter spammed in the "article" they linked where the mention over and over about their startup they are working on.
It's about 12 months ago now, but I worked on a GL project where Firefox was significantly slower than Chrome – and, agreed, it was often on lower end devices. This was to the point it was easier to just drop features wholesale from Firefox, in order to ensure a steady 30 FPS (with Chrome solidly performing 60). I believe a large amount of it related to WebAudio APIs.
OP’s comment is better suited to be taken in reference to the amount of domains banned rather than the “secrecy” of the list. I’m interested in how users are worse off with regards to anything by not knowing what sites are banned.
> A language so good you need to write another language that compiles into that language to make it tolerable.

Some people need it to make it tolerable. That happens on every platform. You have Java and Kotlin/Scala/Groovy ... Microsoft even created F# to its C# ...

> We had an opportunity to kill javascript and instead we embraced it. We deserve what we get.

You mean VBScript? Or what other opportunity you mean?

I often get the sense that JS haters last saw the language in 1999. Modern JavaScript is a very nice scripting language. Succint, elegant, functional.

Its major omission is the lack of static typing, but JSDoc and WebStorm make it tolerable.
