Spending my 20s in city, where I could walk to a bar/friend's house/restaurant/ball game, was a wonderful experience. When I talk to young people who live in some generic suburb I can't help but feel depressed. And for older folks too - the isolation is real.

It's a shame so much of our built environment reduces socialization.
Maybe not a "blind" slant, but there is a slant nonetheless. I frequent programming communities on twitter, reddit, etc. and HN is consistently the place with the most sympathy for corporations.

(In my experience it's also the community that has the most anti-intellectualism/distrust of science as well, but that's a discussion for another time)

It's a simple parser that was originally made to be used through Atom that I would like to repurpose elsewhere

https://github.com/edmundito/tree-sitter-ags-script/issues/1

If this could be solved, we could port this AGS Script parser to the AGS Editor. Today, the parser Adventure Game Studio uses for the needs like auto-complete and it's very simple refactor like things uses a custom handmade parser built in C#. I think if we could leverage tree-sitter we could speed things up and repurpose it to build things like a LSP for AGS Script.
> Do you really see a clear link from "better/safer/faster browsing rendering component" to "better revenues" or "better business situation" for Mozilla? Because I don't think I do, and I suspect Mozilla didn't either, really.

Most people don't choose a browser based on principles or mission. Even if Firefox captured 100% of the market that did, it would barely move the needle in browser share.

Most people choose browsers based on fairly straightforward things, such as the default (many people never change this, which is why changing the default browser via bundled downloads has remained such an effective marketing strategy for decades), performance, the feeling of performance (which is different from actual performance), whether the websites they're visiting are supported, etc.
An open source maintainer isn't obligated to accept unasked for code. For all we know there were gaps or issues with the submitted code and not accepting it was the only reasonable response.

Now, the maintainer could have made this guy more welcome... but I imagine it's quite a bit of work to get a new contributor up to speed to the point where they are consistently a net positive for the project. In any particular case you have to decide whether you want to take on that work or not, and I can hardly blame someone who isn't getting paid for opting out of that, even if the reason is just that they don't want to do it that day.

> I was also open to working with him, addressing his feedback and sending subsequent versions of patches.

That's good, but it's important to note that that's asking the other person to do a bunch of work that helps you, not them. You're asking for a favor here, probably the dearest and often scarcest resource of an open source maintainer -- their time.

I suspect the author failed a little test when rejecting the other piece of kernel work... who needs someone who wants you to help them work on their problems but isn't willing to help you work on yours?

> In Europe there isnt a single job without an union behind

Not correct for the whole Europe.

In some places in Central Europe you do not have a Union but instead Work Council that intermediates and oversees the management and acts in the interest of employees.

Personally I like the idea, but at least in some counties it became an instrument of job protection for old employees that sometimes has a different agenda than other employees.

Will you then use the AI to scale your platform ? Optimise your database ? Improve your test coverage, implement new features, write new backend services, integrate with old difficult but critical systems?

That sounds more like a lack of perspective. Most people are actually locked in to Windows on non-apple computers due to a lack of knowledge (or motivation to change up their workflow), and even more people are locked in to mobile operating systems for the same reason.

Also, Asahi is a very polished distro with a lot of original work going into it, arguably one of the best Linux experiences around, so I have no idea what you mean by "no chance of switching".

Why Is Public Opinion on Hunting So Paradoxical?
Which is all the more reason to give good credit. I have to justify effort I do on company time to my boss. If I had to put in months of work on company time, that needs to be clear to my boss's boss who may not know anything about programming but signs the check. Such people think writing code is the hard part, so it is easier to justify the costs if I'm given credit for writing code for several months (even though the code itself took a couple hours)
Coincidentally, as someone who worked on this blog, I was surprised (and pleased!) to see that we are not the only ones who felt the need to build a Zookeeper alternative.

Looks like folks at StreamNative did as well, with their Oxia project: https://github.com/streamnative/oxia. They were just talking about this yesterday at Confluent Current ("Introducing Oxia: A Scalable Zookeeper Alternative" was the title of their talk). https://streamnative.io/blog/introducing-oxia-scalable-metad...

I can see why workers are most concerned with their own benefit but total productivity is important to the health of a business and economy, which is important to workers as well. And no, working 32 hours is not as productive as 40 hours.
> Not only is this patently false, the administration has discovered ,thanks to the pandemic, that people are re-evaluating the cost of a college degree.

Ithaca college has an endowment of $350 million, is heavily subsidized by the government, and the "everyone should go to college" lunacy they push in public schools will pay dividends for decades to come.

I don't think they're hurting, or that they will notice that a few people are "re-evaluating".

> The truth is, the college is massively overpriced compared to the amenities it provides. Dorms are old and the food is a level above prison tier.

Standard operating procedure is therefor to spend a few hundred million through financing to upgrade the dorms to resort spas, turn the cafeteria into some mall-style food court with prices double what they are 3 miles down the road at the identical restaurant name, and raise tuition to cover all these additional costs.

> Either figure out how to become more affordable or spiral the drain.

That spiral can last decades, until a date far past the retirement of anyone currently in charge.

Google is lucky they have so many monopolistic elements in their business model, otherwise customers would be leaving left, right and center due to non-stop shutdowns of serives they launch.

Using a Google app, and investing any time whatsoever is a waste as it will be gone 6 months to 2 years down the road.

Seems like brutal PR to me, but they can get away with it.

It sounds like the service launches and shutdowns are incentivized anyway based on what other commenters are saying, so that would explain it.

Hundreds of charity and service organizations have found to their detriment that you're wrong, and that there needs to be this.

I volunteered at an animal shelter that was unable to be a no-kill shelter. One of the first things they'd learned to ask at intake was "What's in it for you?"

People would invariably misunderstand. "I get to help these animals" or similar. "No, that's what you're doing here. What do you get out of it?"

And they'd still answer altruistically.

But what the charity wanted to hear was the "selfish" answer. Because it's perfectly okay to have a selfish answer as well as be doing a good thing. In fact, it's preferable, because it's often the selfish answer that will keep you coming back when things are tougher or uglier, versus walking away because "I can't do this, it's costing me too much".

Perhaps instead codebase contributions should be anonymized? Maybe then we can ensure people are contributing "for the right reasons"...
As a result of this, there’s a less dynamic job market and lower wages. Companies essentially take on additional risks when hiring there where if it the hire is bad, as they’re unable to or it’s very costly to terminate the employee. This results in a risk premium that is offset via lower wages.
I’ll take the U.S. tech sector without unions anyday.
Skimming this post was hard when I had to read past "woke, Soros funded district attorney". How do you people take yourselves seriously?

There were three points I saw:

1. Fraud isn't a crime, no one was harmed so we should be allowed to commit fraud freely

2. Some of the inflated properties actually grew over a decade to be worth nearly half of the amount declared and so it's not actually as bad as it seems (Read: It's still bad)

3. Biden is being investigated and people don't have the ability to follow two news stories at once

These three points really seem to be reaching desperately for any way to what-about away this case. I personally haven't interacted with a single person who thinks that Biden or his son should be let off the hook because of who they are if any evidence is found but every single Trump supporter remaining (You really have to be a specific kind of person to support Trump at this point) seems to think that Trump is above the law.

How about we agree to all hold our politicians and community members to the letter of the law equally?
Nobody said there couldn’t be follow-up questions after an RCT. But i disagree that the presence of additional whys disproves the goal of causal inference as proving a “why”
Show HN: Concise Encoding – Last Prerelease
After 5 years of development, I'm about to release v1.0 of Concise Encoding: a general purpose, human and machine friendly, compact representation of semi-structured hierarchical data.

I could do with one last round of constructive criticism before I do!

It's designed for:

* Security when ingesting data
* High efficiency
* Human readability
* Native support for all basic types
* Simple to use

Its purpose is to give a secure and efficient alternative for whenever you'd normally reach for JSON or similar ad-hoc formats.

Looks great! I've had the same issue as you with many projects - so many people leave the marketing till the end so don't beat yourself up about it now. (Hopefully you will have learned a lesson haha!)

Lets look at what you could do:

- Start in one local area - ideally one near you or one that you know. Make it work there and then expand.

- See if you can engage any local groups which might engage with the idea - I could see local city/town facebook groups liking this. Or maybe on nextdoor.com.

- Check out the book "The cold start problem" by Andrew Chen. He goes into many examples of lots of companies that had this issue and how they over came the issue and got their first customers - http://andrewchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/ColdStartPr...

Thanks for this one, I'm going to remember it forever!
First, there are obviously diminishing and eventually negative returns to increasing work hours past a certain point. At the extreme end, 168h/week is clearly less productive than 40h/week despite being more than four times longer. At some point an additional hour provides zero marginal benefit, and past that point an additional hour lowers a worker's weekly productivity. That point may be 72h/week as "996" Chinese companies suggest, 40h/week as Henry Ford suggested, 32h/week as some 4-day workweek experiments suggest, or something else.

Second, even policies that provide some benefit to companies may backfire for society if they increase mental health problems, lower social cohesion, prevent family formation, and/or cause their best-and-brightest to leave. At some level the best way to "compete better with China" may be to focus on maintaining sensible policies focused on maximizing an individual's "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" alongside overall national productivity and let short-sighted competitors burn themselves out. (Similar to the strategy adopted during the Cold War.)

> After the campaign is launched, creators can begin receiving orders from their supporters, discuss details, create customized offers, and more. On an agreed-upon date, creators would complete their tasks, the supporter would confirm that the task has been completed, and creators would get paid.

So it sounds like of like Upwork/Fiverr/etc, but with a story about why the person is trying to raise money, and an end date/amount for their offer? As an end user, what is the advantage to me of using a smaller platform like this (with far less users) compared to one of the established ones that have a much larger number of potential buyers? And if I'm making decent money through your platform, why would I want to stop when I reach the $1000 goal (or whatever I set)?

And as a buyer, what kind of checks and verification do you perform so that I can trust the service I'm buying? If I hire a babysitter or a tutor, have you done background checks? Are you going to be liable (or get sued) when something goes wrong, or the builder I hire does a shoddy job? Can I get a refund if I'm not happy or the service isn't delivered? What happens if I don't pay - is the seller just left out of pocket or will you cover that?

If you're pushing the local angle (which quite a few of the examples you give are), can I easily see all the local services being offered without having to sign up? If you're trying to go down that route, then you might want to think about marketing locally and trying to get a load of people in your own local area involved, before trying to launch to the wider global market.

> Unions are fundamental in every line of work.

Fundamental in what sense? In most of the world, most of the industries are not unionized. And where there are unions, they came after the line of work started. Which makes unions seem not fundamental at all.

> In Europe there isnt a single job without an union behind

Not true at all. Most professional service oriented jobs are not unionized. Even in places like Germany where unions are relatively common.
Same can be said by a lot of technologies (or pandemics, or climate change). Imagination is a tool - using it for what it can go bad does not seem to be the the most efficient way to use it.
Well, maybe there should be a 'contributed an improperly signed patch with issues' tag that would cover the situation. But in the case of mailing to a security list your general expectations should be to hope that it will be included, and hopefully speedily.

Your argument doesn’t work because OpenAI has admitted that ChatGPT is producing copyrighted material. They’re trying to carve an exception for AI, but have already acknowledged that training does copy the materials, literally, and that it does not “learn” from the the same way humans do. The intent with AI may be to remix them, but the whole reason there are multiple lawsuits here (as well as with Stable Diffusion and other NNs) is because they have repeatedly demonstrated they sometimes memorize the training data and can produce it more or less verbatim. They have violated current copyright law. In that light, we have two primary options: change the law, or enforce the current law. OpenAI is hoping to change the law, but whether they have copied some training data and produced it for the output is not even up for debate, this is already the different question you referred to.

I bought a 2017 ThinkPad for $100 and installed Linux on it. It's quite good. I would never use it as a daily driver though. I love macOS too much, even with all its flaws. But I try to do as much development in Linux as possible (whether on a device, in a VM or on a remote machine). I feel like every dev tool I install on Mac is more technical debt that I need to pay for each time I update the surrounding OS.
