There are two workarounds. Both are bad.

Making a blog post good enough to be a story requires a huge amount of effort, and is not a fair requirement as an alternative to simply submitting. (And a quick, simple blog post wouldn't be acceptable by HN standards.)

Making a submission with a URL that doesn't go the right place, with a comment that points out the thing, only works when the more generic URL is actually interesting enough on its own. And even then it might be worse off for bundling too much together.

"Halide 2.12: All The Latest iOS 17 Photography Features" is not very interesting on its own. "Support HDR images in your app" is not interesting on its own. With the way you're talking about keeping up standards, surely you don't want more bad URLs submitted.

> All these worlds are yours, except Makeupyourowntitleuropa.

I don't want to allow any more making up of titles than you normally get when the specific thing you're submitting doesn't have a title. Just a bit more flexibility on choosing the "specific thing". A rule that it has to be a direct quote would also be much better than the status quo. Anything to avoid a submission of one specific thing turning into a submission of a broader and 90% unrelated thing.

> at least some evidence

Jesus Christ. You keep acting like this never happens when there's an example right in front of us. That's at least "some" evidence, come on.

Even if you think the title was unacceptable, surely you'll agree that neither of these two URLs is good for submitting the thing that OP found and a good chunk of 50 people found interesting.
And???
we would love to see you cite some examples
Some are like this, and others tend to have more of a "mess around and try things until it works" style. In fact I've noticed a lot more programmers in the latter category than the former.
The hatred of vocal fry is just class-oriented bigotry. It's a variation on anti-AAVE.

Previously, uptick speech filled the need for hatred. But then it turned out in studies that uptick was perceived as more intelligent by later Gen Y and all of Gen Z.
An article should not be published based on one person's interpretation of one slide. Basic journalistic standards would require having other sources that corroborated what the writer thought the slide meant.

Why not just have a core set of sounds pre-downloaded?
Why does it bother you? Probably only because you've been taught that you're supposed to hate it. There's nothing inherently wrong about vocal fry: there are human languages where vocal fry is an essential component of native speech.
Proper archeology carefully excavates a site and observes and documents the soil of the dig as they go through the various layers. You can tell from analyzing the soil layers if they have been recently disturbed.
I wouldn't be so sure yet, the damage that drugs can do is immense. Meanwhile the damage of outlawing drugs is mainly from imperfect enforcement and inflicted on people who willingly broke a law for personal enjoyment.
A person that gets permanently mentally damaged (e.g becomes schizoid) from drug use is causing an 80 year long drain on society in every way. People apparently have to find out the hard way before they can understand how bad drugs are.
This is SUCH an awesome and wonderful document. Thanks for sharing!
I’m curious now which article you’re referring to at the end of your comment. I know “Bullshit Jobs” only from the book by David Graeber, which is definitely worth a read for anyone interested in the topic.
Lookup git worktrees. They are very easy to use and save you time since no matter how many you make you only need to fetch once. As an added bonus, someday you might be working on a project with 100gb repo and find that it makes a big difference.

Yes, and I want to keep it that way.

I ask again: What is the obligation for America, or Americans, to host intra-South Asian arguments and their arguers? Arguments that do not, in theory, involve any non-South Asians whatsoever? Is the only allowed outcome one in which the number and volume of said arguments hosted by America increase?

As I said:

>Like all immigrants Indians should be evaluated on their potential to contribute to the US in positive and negative ways.

There is no inherent right for South Asians to enter the US other than on the US government and its people's sufferance of same. If Americans decide that the disadvantages from the presence of South Asians (or Kenyans, or Danish, or Guatemalans, or New Zealanders) exceed the advantages, there can and should be consequences regarding immigration, visa, and naturalization laws. What should not happen is to preemptively squelch any efforts toward determining this as "blanket racism", any more than existing laws that apply uniformly toward all of a particular national origin are such.
thank you, no harm done
IMO, the current dip in quality has been lasting a lot longer than in previous iterations.

It's obviously a rant-inspired introspection about a specific kind of organisations.

These orgs are not truly functioning per market principles, yet for various reasons are stuck in a captive energy state that no one dares to disturb.

It could be a niche product sold out to big orgs or other steady clients. It could be a subsidiary or some other steady org. Either way, there is no market pressure to really push such orgs to adapt.

Thus all this theater and moldy props. These orgs are not expected to improve, they will live, but required to demonstrate an effort.

This reminds me of some shitty restaurants or deserted "boutique" storefronts which stay in business for decades with no suply-demand explanation for such longevity. I guess, these may somehow have low operating costs and some strong funding source.
Oh I love it when people say “we’re an agile shop”. Meaningless. No you’re not, I know this because you signed a contract that says that in two years you’re going to deliver a specific pre-agreed set of features. But I guess if you say you’re “agile” you’ll get brownie points with the next level up? Who knows. Doesn’t matter, I suppose.

To complicate things, there's then "being a hypocrite as a preliminary stage of changing oneself". If I know a behaviour is condemned by my principles/faith and yet I still do it, then so long I am working towards change, I'm still resisting that thing, it's... well, not all good, for sure, but it's something. And you can work with that.
Honestly it's probably misogyny. There are some women we are supposed to hate who use it, so therefore it's bad to use it.
The key difference is that in one case the goalie did his job well of stopping the puck (and the mask did of saving his face).

Are you telling me that people who worked their way up from entry-level to executive and C-suite positions don't have any domain expertise beyond "playing politics?"

Every general and flag officer started out as a junior officer or junior enlisted servicemember. There is literally no other way to get there. There are no lateral hires into the military; it's "up or out."
I think this is actually a modern misunderstanding of the original benefits of computers. Computers were originally designed as a tool, they allowed us to work more efficiently but weren't directly taking over doing the actual work. A spreadsheet doid the calculations for me, but I had to provide both the data and the actual formulas to run.

AI, or more accurately machine learning, attempts to take us out of the process. It isn't separating content and presentation, it's separating content and understanding. The algorithm will read in data, compress it, and save only the patterns it learned. By the time the content is presented there is little connection to the original source and what I'm seeing isn't just a separated presentation layer, it's something entirely different like playing a game of telephone.
I know about this. Unfortunately it is in no way sufficient.

I want it to stop dropping these _anywhere_, and I'd be more than happy to give up thumbnail functionality for this. However, afaik the "easiest" way to do this is apparently to bind a hook to listen to all file system writes by everything and then sweep up the junk whenever it is detected...

Asian and Hispanic families are built around nuclear families (more strongly than even in the west). In my language, we have a whole set of words you don’t have in English for identifying relatives through marital relationships. (E.g. different words for maternal aunts versus paternal aunts.) It’s all highly structured around the assumption that marital relationships are durable.
The same thing has happened to phones. Spam on my iphone got so bad I set it to block all calls on on my contact list.

My land line has become useless as all I get on it is spam calls. Don't the phone companies realize their users are going to hang up on them unless the spam problem is dealt with?

The author seems to be doing the classic mistake of thinking how to use technical means to solve what amounts to political problems.

All the Dereks I’ve met over the years (I know terribly anecdotal) are aware of the position they’re in. They are desperately scared of those nosy engineers that can prove with data how bad they are and try hard to put them in positions where that is not possible.

The portrayal of Michael Scott in “The Office” was sometimes too painfully real.

But knowing that, I’ve found its actually possible to use it to your own if not advantage, then at least peace of mind.

The way one does it is to get to know your Derek as a person, become his confidant - a surprisingly large amount of the “stupid jira tickets” those people generate are usually because of of very stupid requirements and policies that they have to follow.

After one understands the deep reasons for the busy work and inefficiencies - be it other bosses and hire ups or inadequate policies, one can work with their Dereks to sideline / fix them. The former being way easier than the latter of course.

Then you can approach the hire ups and understand why they put those policies in the first place, slowly getting a deeper understanding of the bigger picture. Cause there usually are reasons for all the madness, it just takes civility, patience and empathy to get to it.

“Why bother” one would ask? Well in the end you get known by all those people as “the guy to go to, to get shit done” and start being pushed into very interesting and consequential projects. People trust you, at least on a personal level - and even if you don’t manage to solve the political issues that frustrate you, you still have the peace of mind of being productive and friendly with your environment.
Sort of, maybe, probably not.

The study you're citing doesn't actually have a methodology that one can interrogate about how it reached this figure, and there's some fairly common patterns like opening a marriage in response to infidelity, that would create a misleading correlation between open marriages and unstable ones.

That's vastly different from entering into a relationship with the intent to be non-monogamous (and perhaps already having multiple partners), but is probably much more common, because, for whatever reason there's less of a taboo on sleeping around while married than on having multiple committed romantic relationships.
Hitchen's Razor? LMFAO! You're refusing to read and follow citation from multiple encyclopedias. Not to be too forward, but you don't exactly sound like you know what you're talking about. I have better things to do with my time than listen to your claims of superiority over Brittanica, and other trusted sources.
I see where you're coming from, but it's more like trying to sell people a vaccine before they die from a preventable disease (eternal death). It's hard to argue that people at risk should be made aware of the cure's existence.
But you have to start playing the game before you get that information. I want that information before purchasing it.
Yeah perverse financial incentives describe 99% of the stupidity we put up with daily. Like, why when you look at the labeling of a bottle of Tylenol do you find a description of the trademarks, a non-discrimination clause, and several paragraphs regarding liability in imaginary scenarios written in impenetrable legalese? But, it’s impossible to find the actual dosage chart?

Exactly, in that model the only way to build a browser is to depend on someone else to implement the specs. It's not feasible to build a new browser, at best you can start with what Google implemented, including proprietary features, and go from there. At that point you likely don't understand the codebase fully and are going to be dependant on staying in sync with chromium to get new features.

This model of starting with chromium really has nothing to do with building a web browser, it is just building a UI around Google's browser. There isn't much daylight between that and the often complained about limitation of Apple only allowing the use of WebKit on iOS.
Can anyone here look at "identify a change which improved employee efficiency by $125 annually" and think it isn't going to be complete bullshit? That's in the region of 50c/day. "I told employees to reuse paperclips which I predict will save the company $1M per year"[1] PR/marketing/self-promotion - surely nobody believes it?. And that saving 50 cents per day is supposed to come from a manager who can influence all 8000 employees, but who doesn't think to axe the useless reporting department to save $1M/year in one go? And then the company which keeps a $1M department just to sound good is going to identify $1M in piecemeal efficiency improvements year on year, every year?

Who believes this?

Although I don't completely disagree, see[2][3] "Another reason to have in-house expertise in various areas is that they easily pay for themselves, which is a special case of the generic argument that large companies should be larger than most people expect because tiny percentage gains are worth a large amount in absolute dollars. If, in the lifetime of the specialist team like the kernel team, a single person found something that persistently reduced TCO by 0.5%, that would pay for the team in perpetuity, and Twitter’s kernel team has found many such changes."

But then again, at the bottom of [4] "At multiple companies that I've worked for, if you tally up the claimed revenue or user growth wins [of people claiming they improved things X amount per year] and compare them to actual revenue or user growth, you can see that there's some funny business going on since the total claimed wins are much larger than the observed total." which is pretty much my criticism of your comment; people will embellish their claims, especially when nobody can easily prove or disprove a claimed 50cent/day efficiency improvement over 8000 employees.

> "usually a hyperfocus on really insignificant numbers as evidence of their point."

$1M is roughly an average UK household income, after tax, for a lifetime. This just reads like dismissive boasting rather than a useful part of your comment. If it's "really insignificant" why do you then argue that the company will be motivated to save it in a more difficult piecemeal fashion, year after year five times over, if they aren't motivated to save it once in a big lump?

Regardless the last point, while theoretically you’re correct, in practice trying to rank autistics by severity seems both difficult to do objectively and it’s politically controversial as ranking autistics in such ways has been used to justify taking away benefits OR autonomy.

In any case you raise a good point insofar that research on what is called “level 2 autism” and “level 3 autism” is more constant over time but it’s the research on “level 1 autism” I would take with a serious grain of salt especially the more pessimistic research. Because it was usually done on people who were on average more impaired than the people being diagnosed today, and that can result in people making bad conclusions about how life is for most people that we call Autistic.

I don’t know, this whole phenomenon is quite troublesome I reckon and bound to cause particularly unwarranted and inaccurate prejudices. I’ve already witnessed this happen many many times.

Hello,
I am looking for a summer software engineering internship for 2024! Pursuing a masters in software engineering, my anticipated graduation year being 2025. I currently work as the sole web developer at a small family company. I've recently accepted an IT co-op (rotational) opportunity. I have the most experience with web technologies - front and backend, please refer to resume.

I'd like to be able to have a more focused, hands on experience in software engineering/development.

I think salesforce is pretty dumb, but I think salesforce users are dumber and the artificial limitations help them

removing those limits in an open source alternative doesnt help that crowd

but yeah there’s definitely a sliver of an audience that can do system design and wont just roll out their own microservices and database
Looks impressive! Would I use it? Probably not. I never have found I needed to track everything in a spreadsheet. Either they offer me a job or they don’t. All data is in gmail and searchable. Google calendar for interview times although most likely I will just remember. Most companies will reject (because each company value’s orthogonal things so no candidate can get then all) so why keep data?

But I al not a FAANGer or US based so ymmv and something like this may be attractive during recessions when you need to apply more
and chase up harder.

The open web is dead if the only option is to base every browser on a Google core. How do specs fit into this if every browser is just a UI shell around chrome? Where is the competition driving innovation of the web platform when the only competitive landscape is how pretty you can make your toolbars and bookmarks?

We need independent groups of passionate people making sure that the web platform is focused on the best end user experience. We don't always have that today, but that vision is completely dead if the web functionality is decided entirely by an advertising platform.
