i never understood why new users are allowed to post answers but not comments. it doesn't make sense. i mean it makes sense to restrict what new users can do, but the current mode results in new users posting comments as answers, and it irritates me every time i see one. on the other hand maybe it avoids answers as comments. but in the end maybe it should just be easier to convert between the two.

Building a better code search experience
Hey HN!

I'm Naresh, co-founder at CodeStory (YC S23) where we're building an AI-powered mod of VSCode. Though we're still in our very early days, we have some thoughts about how the IDE can evolve to be a space where developers can leverage agents as additional developers who can do complete end-to-end development. But we're getting there by exposing all the capabilities to developers interacting with the IDE as well as the AI agent.

One of the problems we wanted to tackle first was code search within an IDE and ways to augment it to be a much more powerful experience. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the approach, feedback or open discussions about what we've built and how you'd like to see this evolving!
It will likely exist as a niche thing, but it will be abstracted into an easy-to-use service, much like social media is today.

Picking the tobacco (and stacking and racking in the barn and drying and etc) wasnt the bad part; according to some of my family who did it. Bad enough; but not the worst.

The bad part was patrolling for tobacco hornworm (you may know them from tomato plants) every morning before school. I was impressed but the vehemence of the folks i talked to. afaik this stuff has made that unnecessary now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacillus_thuringiensis

I've done a few tobacco plants and yes; there's a definite "i just smoked a whole pack" buzz from handling them. real harvests appear to suck as a job, from what i have observed and been told. heavy clothing, gloves, and you still get juiced; plus you're doing all this in the hot and dry usually.

Kids that worked tobacco used to start chewing early, it was good to have a tolerance and a familiarity with the effects of overdose.
HFT allows the Market Makers to have total control over the price. They literally intercept all orders for most institutionally owned stocks in order to manage the allocation/inventory of shares to make sure shares are available to users of the different brokerage services, and in doing so track the value of all of their initial contracts so they can keep the most valuable contracts and only sell those in the money (you don't actually buy shares, you lease contracts that give you the same rights as those shares and if you want the actual shares you have to submit a special request, so the Market Makers are just managing and tracking contracts which they sell each f a certain number of times at a given price before moving on.)

Technically speaking no job needs to exist. I'm not sure why that matters though? Just because it would be better for society doesn't mean the job shouldn't exist. I'm sure there is a job where you could be more productive as well.

Aptly put.

My question did miss context and was brief.

Implementation of agile/scrum process does need some refining.

You did mention the point of "pleases lower & upper mgmt" which translates into reports and metrics that things are moving forward. But the effectiveness of using a process by the actual people working matters. I feel it locks aways some amount of potential in the ceremonies/rituals which are given more importance.
I would say that much of adult society still runs on "fitting in" (e.g. social groups, corporate hierarchies), ergo being able to do it deftly is a huge life skill.

There's definitely a stigma around adults engaging in specific types of bullying (physical) and bigotry (e.g. protected classes), but society as a whole rewards more subtle bullying (political power dynamics) and ignores subtle bigotry (e.g. caste, microaggression).

The point of socialization, and indeed bullying itself, in school is in no small party to teach everyone (bully and bullied) what acceptable and unacceptable forms are.

Absent that, you either get people who are worse bullies (because they never learned where the line was) or are fragile (because they never learned where the "I should/shouldn't be able to handle this uncomfortable thing" line is).
I don’t have a particular take on the last point, but I _do_ have a strong take on the chart. If you think that the relationship of ordinary people’s life outcomes is linear to GDP, I have a bridge or two to sell you.

Can you explain how "dark pools lead to front-running and worse prices for customers"?

I would agree that the price discovery works best when liquidity is lit up on a single CLOB, but claims about HFT leading to front-running or worse prices for customers (I assume you mean retail investors?) need justification.

What do you mean when you say "front-running"? It has a fairly specific definition, but it is often used inaccurately in discussions around HFT.

If by front-running you mean "HFT firms accept instructions as agent and then deal as principle prior to executing their client's instructions so as to benefit from the price move their client's order may induce" then you would be using the term correctly, and the SEC would be very interested, but this isn't what HFT firms do.
> That's per core, of which it has four.

Which only matters for multiple concurrent connections... a single download would still be a sequential task on a single core at 300Mb/s, which I would find to be an unacceptable bottleneck on my gigabit connection.

In reality, it would probably only be 300Mb/s for up to 2 connections, since it needs to both decrypt and reencrypt, which could be parallelized onto 2 cores, otherwise 150Mbps for 4 connections if each connection was handled only on a single core.

Either way, it would not be possible to MitM 1Gbps of traffic on a Raspberry Pi 4, with the numbers you provided, only 600Mbps total, and only across multiple connections. It would be an extremely noticeable bottleneck.
The formulation of them is also interesting, for example CICO is true, but the composition of food matters so much because the CI affects the CO they are not completely independent, there is much more to the story.

Just wanted to add some color here. The various written forms for native words (和語) like 聞く and 聴く aren't really coming from different words, they were most very likely the same word originally. Only that because Japanese adopted Chinese-character writing, it started developing these stylistic distinctions.

Native Japanese people writing these words also don't always distinguish them properly, e.g. using 聞く generally even if the more specialized meaning of 聴く would apply.

This particular kind of distinction is called 異字同訓 (の漢字の使い分け) in Japanese.

I think a better example is 話す versus 離す which I just discovered yesterday also seem to have the same pitch accent!

I'm not sure that measuring externalities like that are what markets are for.

In the context of this post, for example, the author seems to be casting a pretty narrow net here, and talking about whether market prices are accurate measures of what other people are willing to pay for a thing.

To speak of markets as serving society poorly by not incorporating environmental impacts is to speak of other than what he is talking about when he says "markets are rational".

No.

The new tools and tech were bound to succeed in a culture that valued reductions in time and labor costs. But there's nothing inevitable about such a culture, and it seems perfectly possible for there to be others that would have ranked the new tools and techniques inferior to the old ones for a variety of reasons.

South Korea and the KCIA is a great example of this, where the KCIA was doing all kinds of wild stuff to maintain a West-approved military dictatorship. And of course the KCIA was created by and modeled after the US CIA.

> In July 1973 Kim Dae Jung spoke at [the University of Washington], in a classroom with no more than fifteen people present. A month later he was kidnapped in Tokyo by KCIA agents and nearly murdered. Seven years later when he was indicted for "treason," his criticism of the Park government at the University of Washington was included in the indictment, drawn from a tape of his remarks that one of the fifteen people had given to the KCIA.

[2]

> In mid-1973, amidst charges of KCIA harassment of Lee Jai-hyun, a Korean Embassy officer who refused to be reassigned to Korea, I took the initiative to meet with the FBI and called for an investigation of the KCIA in the U.S. After exploratory meetings, such an investigation began, but for reasons I have never quite understood, it did not get off the ground. When it finally petered out several months later, it had produced little more than mere confirmation of the basic information I had submitted initially. I concluded that the FBI, or those higher in authority, had no inclination to follow through on an investigation that could wind up embarrassing an ally.

It’s t3gg or whatever his name is.

Funny story I worked at Vercel. I made this library Tamagui which solves many hard problems in the style space.

One day t3 makes a YouTube video talking about styling solutions in React and he comes up with a Venn diagram explaining how no solutions solves the intersection. I was shocked! Tamagui did it exactly, it was the entire hard problem I set out to solve in creating it, and he left it out despite it having gained lots of attention right before that. I DMed him telling him he should check it out as I think it’s the holy grail he’s searching for. He replied dismissively saying something like “I don’t think so”.

Turns out Vercel are trying to kill solutions like Tamagui because they are having a hard time supporting so many style solutions between their two huge projects RSC and Turbopack, they are invested in Tailwind in multiple ways and are trying to consolidate styling around it for their own ecosystem benefit.

The rabbit hole goes deeper, but that’s what I’ll say.

> When you use your real identity you behave in a way that you will stand behind. Anonymity goads you into acting in a way that you might feel embarrassed about or regret.

People use/present different 'selves' to different people all the time, even without using pseudonymous identities. It's a core part of navigating life. Online pseudonymous handles help facilitate more separation between contexts but it doesn't (necessarily) mean people change their integrity (I certainly don't).

There's a useful critique[1] of Mark Zuckerberg's 2010 quote that proclaimed there should only be a single identity for everyone. An excerpt that summarizes the piece:

> Individuals are constantly managing and restricting flows of information based on the context they are in, switching between identities and persona. I present myself differently when I’m lecturing in the classroom compared to when I’m have a beer with friends [...] This is how we navigate the multiple and increasingly complex spheres of our lives. It is not that you pretend to be someone that you are not; rather, you turn the volume up on some aspects of your identity, and tone down others, all based on the particular context you find yourself.

Also this cross-linked piece[2] by a teacher which brings up similar points.

Or that since most people are at least somewhat better off overall, that justifies the gap between the richest and the poorest in the world. "You were starving 30 years ago, now you're merely hungry and miserable while you can watch me eat fois gras" is not an argument that will appeal to anyone who isn't also enjoying the god life and trying to justify that.
My TWA app still got hit with this mandatory update requirement. I'll have to rebuild the wrapper app for the first time in years. I don't even remember how I did it last time but I do remember that Android makes it nowhere near as trivial as it ought to be. I can practically guarantee that something will break if I try to do all this busywork. I'm probably not going to bother, it's just a free app that I made as a side project and a large majority of users visit the website in a browser.

If Google actually cared about getting PWAs into the store, the process would be as simple as submitting the URL of your PWA manifest to the Play Console.

> You can share the business logic between platforms but the UI is what will be platform specific.

I don't disagree, but it depends a ton on what the business logic is. If you want to use the filesystem, or the permission system, or WiFi, Bluetooth, etc, then quickly it becomes platform specific.

Say you need some OpenCV or GStreamer, to me it makes sense to use C/C++ (with a nice API to link to Kotlin/Swift) and share that. But many apps don't go that far.

> But I never liked apps that looked like an Android app on iOS or the other way around.

Yes, promoters and dismissive skeptics react to each other in an unproductive cycle. We can try to do better.

One trap to avoid is thinking of this cycle as a rough sort of justice. “They brought it on themselves” sort of hints at that? Ideally, someone else’s bad take shouldn’t be taken as an excuse for writing an opposing bad take, even though it often does provoke that sort of reaction. Noisy, polarized discussions make thing worse for everyone.

Bad takes do often make for a good writing prompt. Just about everything I write is reacting to things I read online. But usually it works out better to look for an indirect, non-opposing response that doesn’t feed the polarization cycle.

I definitely think you're on to something, but there's something lacking. E-ink that can be rolled up, folded, connected to utility compute or local rigs for semi-intelligent agents to crawl through the noise and chafe and ads and malware... that's the true punk aesthetic. though with current llm's, i'm not sure we're that far from it.

> Google hosts and distributes apps effectively for free

Google rakes in money from all the in app sales, store sales, and subscriptions. Further, google is often the provider of in app ads. Not to mention all the money they get from advertising with google searches and adwords built into (practically) every android device.

And, let's be frank here, a 1, 20, 100mb APK isn't exactly a huge amount of data to host. Especially since there's almost always a linear correlation with the popularity of an app and the amount of revenue google makes from that app.

They aren't exactly operating a charity here. The least they could do with all this money flowing in is support backwards compatibility on their platform.
Tell HN: Edge has added rounded corners to all web pages
Microsoft Edge version 116.0.1938.62 has added rounded corners to all web pages, and there is no way to opt out.

Edge has been interfering with the web application experience from the start, with unwanted hover icons and menus that cannot be disabled by the application. (For example, if you hover over an image, you get Visual Search and Settings icons.) Super annoying.

But this latest change takes the cake. It is ugly. If the page has a scrollbar at document level, the web page will get rounded corner only at the top left, not the top right, thus losing symmetry. For example, go to CNN or Github. If the web page has dark-mode you get a distracting white border around the page, for example on chat.openai.com.

Edge is breaking this cardinal rule: Browser chrome belongs to the browser, but the content area belongs to the application alone. Edge should stay out of the content area, or at least should allow applications to turn off unwanted buttons and menus, thus retaining full control of the application experience.
