Lists generally don't make great submissions to HN, because there isn't enough specific information for discussion. Comments tend to be about the lowest common denominator of the items on the list, and this is usually pretty generic.
It would be better to pick one of the most interesting items on the list and submit that instead.

having a separate 'acceptor' log onto the same history actually works. thanks.
I got a recent Precision at work, and it's OK re: Linux support. Even with an up-to-date Fedora install, the fingerprint reader and official Dell peripherals have given me some trouble. The support is good but not worth touting IMO.

But, it's better than it was! I had a highish-end XPS 13 from '18 that refused to ever sleep with the lid shut, despite my best efforts.

If Dell wants to get serious about this stuff, they need to test and fix all of these issues before they release a laptop.
I would drop out of any process that uses a tool like this. I want to talk to a human and be treated like a human.

The only companies that would use something like this are those that don't value people
While I'm fully in agreement that Discord has fundamental problems, this article doesn't seem of sufficient quality for HN. It is "unfinished", and in practice that apparently means "makes claims and doesn't justify any of them". So while we can choose to agree or disagree about the claims, we don't know what the author meant. That the article is written in a flippant and dismissive tone doesn't help.

I agree that discord has objectionable philosophical foundations around centralization, data retention and privacy. Additionally, the rate at which they're crapping out annoying, intrusive anti-features is excruciating — think "sound board", "super reactions", "clips", etc. It's profoundly clear that Discord is grasping at straws trying to find any way to motivate people to pay for their fully functional free product, and the way they've decided to do it is to add ways to annoy other users and count on the "meme potential" to entice people to pay get access to them. Overall, Discord is a very effective text and voice chat app, but now requires a lot of accessibility settings and preference toggles to make it usable. It's very sad the direction Discord is heading, given how effective it was as a tool not long ago.
I haven't watched this video yet but I'm looking forward to it, having read Showstopper[1] quite a few years back.

One thing that stuck out to me when I was still in my early 20s thinking I needed to work all the time was the mention that Dave would always take holidays on time, every time without any debate.

While I may not love Microsoft, it was probably my first real exposure of a highly competent and qualified person who wasn't grinding 24/7.

It still feels nuts to write it but it's a holdover from rural (and retail) life where the mindset is basically "The more you suffer, the more virtuous you are".

As much as I still struggle to properly take time off (that is, it's easy to postpone because of X or Y being more important), thinking about Dave's view is always a good reminder that it's not a choice between taking a break and being good at X.

This is a kind of theory that would apply equally to social signaling for both men and women. The linked article is talking about how there was an interesting phenomenon shifting men's clothing, but not women's.
Everything is going very well, Madam Marquise,

Certified pre-owned is really a brand new car for a lower price for all intents and purposes. This is a term of art if you will, not softening of the term "used car".

Manufactured home can also be a far cry from what the house trailer is.

Here in Berlin, we have a "pfand" (deposit) on various bottles. At a summer barbecue you sometimes get people asking to take your bottles away, so they can collect that deposit themselves.

For the larger bottles, just four per day would equal the income of a pre-industrial farmhand.

Obviously this calculus does not include the cost of a divorce.
It’s certainly an unpredictable one, never know what new fires the next week brings, or when they set off a chain reaction pushing the whole team to the brink of despair. Being able to have mental boundaries and (this sounds cold) emotional distance helps a lot!
You still have to understand your boundaries when you have a large monolith unless you have one big ball of mud.

Even with a well constructed monolith, you need to have well defined “services” with contractual interfaces.

You don’t have to understand 4000 services to make one change anymore than I need to understand the entire boto3 library when I am building on top of it.

https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/inde...

You can’t just change your interface in a monolith either without breaking other parts of it.
It could just be the media, but I've heard nothing but terrible things about South Africa.

Failing government. Constant crime. Water shortages. Power blackouts. Is it perhaps different if you're living in a gated community?
Gitlab 16.5 Released
This works, ultimately, because the frail old lady can call the police, who outnumber and outgun the strong young men.

There is admittedly also an element of magic here: People generally view property rights as legitimate, and the police who enforce them as legitimate, and so on. But when that belief system fails, it's ultimately the State's ability to deploy force that reestablishes the faith.
Uber invested heavily in tooling that makes creating and deploying a new service take about 30 minutes. This was before they invested in making it as easy to share code. If you combine that with fast hiring and a big pressure to ship, it makes sense to solve every problem with a new service that calls a few others.
If you model software, both existing and future state, as a primary business and technology activity, modularize where needed, reduce high level abstractions, follow SOLID/DRY for the most part, and use bounded context operational data stores, the architectural diagrams serve a greater purpose and are a primary artifact.

In other words, no one should change code without first validating those changes with the existing model(s).

Great point! I will add a small paragraph on fume extraction this week
Thanks for sharing that video, worked perfectly for me. Although watching videos with this effect is kinda headache inducing after a while, at lesst for me.
> terrible processes, a culture of gatekeeping, total lack of common standards, and a good dose of toxic maintainers, sending stuff to Linux is a huge chore and a drain on your energy

Maybe someone influential like Hector saying this will help change to happen. Not sure what form that change would take though. The right answer is probably a hard-fork of the kernel, focused on in-the-open development and community standards.
> But each position- no matter what it is made of- has a limited field of view, it can only protect a certain area. So the soldiers have to rely on each other- you build a network of these positions, with overlapping fields of view/fire,

That we knew centuries earlier. See for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastion_fort.

The movable version probably also is way older than World War One. The phalanx is an example. Of course, that’s quite different in looks from a modern squad of soldiers, but they still make sure there are eyes and weapons directed in all necessary directions.

The encryption isn't too much of an issue, you're usually just paging a phone number or a code like '911' from your family who otherwise have no other way to reach you.
Generally I’m not sure the modern world is better, but you probably do own a lot of machines that take the place of many things servants would have done in the past. Laundry machine, dishwasher machine, mixing machine, fire tending machine, etc.
My question is whether they outperform in terms of severe accidents not all accidents in general.

Obviously a robot will be better at paying attention than a human all the time, but those situations seem more likely to be less severe. The true measure of safety seems to be whether they are better at avoiding fatal accidents, but comparing fatal accident numbers in a Tesla vs a comparable Mercedes seems to indicate that this is not the case.
Texas Instruments TMS 9900 Evaluation Board
Deene Ogden asked me to design an evaluation board for the TMS9900 in late 1976. The original PCB format was based on the Digital Systems Group format at the time with a 80 pin connector at the bus interface. 50 were manufactured in the Stafford facility and were used by the Microprocessor Field Specialists to introduce the 9900 to prospective customers. Tom Miller, Sam Brown, and Bob Roosth received prototypes I built personally. DSG's Darren Appelt and Andy Anderson assisted in the design of the bus interface. Bob Roosth created a single pass assembler for the project. It interfaced with both a teletype and a Silent 700 terminal and had a small prototyping array. The project fueled the establishment of the organization that created the TM 990 family. Don Mills, 1976 - 1982.
Thanks for the feedback. The code examples "[F" and "[[F" both paint one cell but the code "[" produces no visual change, so in that sense there is a difference between them.

Between "[F" and "[[F", there is no visual difference. The command "[" is a control flow command that does not alter the state of the canvas or the invisible turtle. Instead it merely marks the current position in the code as the beginning of a block. The execution continues normally after "[" regardless of whether there is a corresponding closing "]" or not. However, if a corresponding "]" is found, then the execution jumps back to the corresponding "[" and executes the enclosed block once more. This produces the effect of a loop that executes twice. For most drawing purposes the code bounded by "[" and "]" indeed behaves like a loop that executes twice.

I have updated the README to make this clearer. However, I am open to improving the README further if there are better suggestions. Pull requests are welcome too.
Sure, which is why you want actual real research.

Still something like 16-25% of the overall population has some form of diagnosable mental illness, couples have 2 people, and divorced are more likely to have various conditions. So the effect size would need to be huge for this not to be relevant.
Are you though? You never had a claim that couldn't be paid out. If you needed that insurance in order to do or buy something, you were able to do or buy that thing. You have no damages. You absolutely could have, but you didn't.
Reading the Wikipedia article you link, I'm wondering whether Luntz's work covers the whole story. For instance:

> Frank Luntz, whose polling revealed that 'death tax' sparked voter resentment in a way that 'inheritance tax' and 'estate tax' couldn't match. After all, who wouldn't be opposed to a 'tax on death'? - Joshua Green, The American Prospect

In Britain, the term has been 'death duty' colloquially for decades, with 'inheritance tax' and 'capital transfer tax' both having been formal names. Yet, I haven't seen a particularly preference for the term being associated with an political ideology. Generally, the British public and their representatives just use whatever term is 'in'. Does this make British politicians less shrewd, make them more respectable, or simply make Luntz's research an American edge case?
I work in a hospital; the system I'm in finally deactivated our physical pagers last week.

One thing that I really liked about pagers was the social element. If I receive a page to a physical pager while talking to a patient, they have no question about whether the incoming message is of a clinical nature. In contrast, when I get a message and glance at my phone, it's not possible for them to know. I'm sure they give me the benefit of the doubt, but with a pager that wasn't necessary.
Is it though? Why is it an accepted term for such a long time then?

Culture here refers to the company's culture - not the candidates.
These types of articles are doing the opposite of what they're trying to do. How exactly is framing marriage in purely economic terms supposed to encourage marriage? How is reducing people down to an income stream, a college diploma, genitalia, etc going to encourage marriage?

Take this for example:

> not because they reject the concept of marriage, but because they do not see him as a reliable source of economic security or stability.

It's really disgusting what they're doing here. They don't talk about whether you love the other person, or whether you complement each other... no, they talk about economics. They talk about "what's good for me and my bank account"

The tone of this article: it reads like it was written by a sociopath. You ask the author "why do people get married" and hear this stupid shit about economics and "benefits to society", nothing about love or trust or any of the actual reasons. People can't just get along for some reason, economics has to insert itself into everything and liquidate whatever trust and spontaneity it can find
It's probably not cheap toys as much as the rise of synthetic dyes generally meant color was no longer a mark of cost. The denim community still likes indigo because it fades, but that could just be signifier that it's authentic.

It could also just be that color attracts attention. With birds, it's often the male that's more colorful. See peafowl.
> Uber's problem space is significantly more complex than Netflix

What makes you say this? Netflix serves probably several orders of magnitude more bytes and online video is hard. At its core Uber is basically a Passenger Service System and we had systems like these implemented in software since 1950s

Indeed, the law is ultimately based on force but it still does allow physically weak to have rights, unlike a natural law.
Which is why I was suggesting widows, they should be more directly comparable to single mothers after you correct for income.
You can actually play Habitat today. Randy Farmer, one of the developers, has an open source project called Neohabitat that has preserved the game. http://neohabitat.org/
PinePhone has a lot software releases, postmarketOS has plenty of supported hardware.

"Dumbing down" is a necessity for extended demographics, that's trend from long ago.

Article explains reality, predicts proliferation of specialized hardware. For example was sound ever viable on CPU? GPUs were specialized, become more universal with compute, extended with video encoders, RTX, DLSS.
I figure a good chunk of HN doesn't. That's why I explained it.

It wasn't just to get building materials.

You don't want a giant monument to gods that demanded human sacrifice as a prominent part of the skyline when you're trying to convert the local heathens to Christianity.
Did not know that. Such a progression is not unexpected, though.
Tautologically most people can't afford human servants, because if we were all that rich it would include the servants who we then couldn't afford.

Quite a lot of us have robot vacuum cleaners, dishwashers, washing machines, and all of us now have zero marginal cost (to ourselves) voice-controlled AI assistants free with our radio-video-telephone-dictaphone-gramophone-calendar-notepads.

Some of the aforementioned are also powerful enough to be able to locally, for an energy cost so small that it's less than the cost of the food calories you burned reading this sentence, create a new artwork in any arbitrary artistic style.
> Again, this is one missile (maybe it was shot down by AA rocket, or just went off course).

The amount of precision guided missiles that we have seen hit civilian targets makes me think this is just as likely to be an intentional targeting as it is “flying off course”.

Also it would be an AA missile not rocket, rockets are unguided.

> The point of this launch was likely some military target.

You have no way of knowing this, and one could say literally the same thing about the Israeli strikes.
I wonder, when Chinese will train AI on Confucianism texts and what it will say them ;D
I was an SDET on the Windows team in the 2000/XP era and heard that the internal code name for the x64 port was “Sundown” because Microsoft was hoping it would take down Sun in the server market. Unfortunately for Microsoft, that prize went to Linux on x86-64.
Something I've learned by looking at "clones" of my own products is that it's not a copy unless it copies my component sources, manufacturing, and quality standards.
Take a chill pill.

I was saying that resigning over these comments seems like an overreaction. I did not mention nor am I going to make any specific comments about the conflict.
Hard to see serious objections with a sound technical basis arising when literally everything that classifies as food is chock full of random, purposeful, and/or 'junk' RNA/DNA. Different genes, sure, but it's not as if eating spinach turns us green and kicks off mammalian photosynthesis.
"assuming the economy incentivizes efficiency"

In the long run it does. Today's stupid rich people are tomorrow's "my grandfather was x and now I'm middle class"

Happens more and faster than you think.

Economic disparity metrics suffer from selection bias.

But beyond that I think that attitude come from misunderstanding and confusing an ideal of "fairness" with efficiency.

Efficiency and fairness are far and away not the same thing.

Autocracies, for example, can be very efficient.

The same applies to economic competition. Scams and cons are efficient. Crime is efficient. Corruption... All are very efficient at redistributing wealth. So government is needed to enforce fairness.

But when it comes to the example problem here of adding excess value to a low-value job, the efficiency of the market is usually acting at the level of the firm, rather than within it.

People are naturally lazy, and for most people, the imagined ungratefulness of a company paired with an inflated view of their own value causes them to not even try and certainly not persist at innovating.
Seinfeld and the puffy shirt set that back at least 25 years.

Yes. The part of the quote parent left out is

> or the ability to close Y story points per sprint

With that in mind, it makes sense and the metric is dependent on the entire org functioning well. So to the extent it does so, this is an objective, very quantifiable, metric that all junior engineers can be compared with.

That said, this is a guide for startups. So I do believe this metric is garbaj. Junior engineers will be unfairly held to task for org dysfunction.
Yes, a bigger screen helps a lot. There are a bunch of tutorials how to get it to work on youtube etc.
They aren’t lying so much as having different price tiers for everyone. The published price is the maximum price, it’s paid for only by auto insurance companies typically. Everyone else has a negotiated lower price.

Medicare prices for all would be a solution for example but doing so would both explode Medicare and bankrupt the hospitals
Look for the more writing oriented editors like Ulysses. This might be closer to what you want.
I've been told that they even had a garbage collector on the Commodore 64 client.
The fact that it's unimaginable makes it a perfect cover.
No, It’s not about that. This was a cultural reaction to the excesses and cruelty of the French ruling classes.

And both men and women changed their styles, Im not sure why they don’t mention that. No one wanted to be mistaken by a jacobin and have a bomb thrown at your lap. Women stopped imitating Marie Antoinette way before she was beheaded in the pangs of birth of the reign of terror

The obvious historical parallels are obvious because what generally happens is that chaos can only build up so much until the people rebel and kill everyone in power. That’s why the Egyptians mentioned “maat” (order) all the time, but there are some very good movies on this time period even on netflix
Managing a numerically large set of services has its own challenges, but it pales in comparison to the complexity of a monolithic service serving the same functionality. As the other poster already pointed out, such a behemoth would be a nightmare to change at all. It would also be a scalability and and reliability nightmare. We migrated away from monoliths because they don't work in modern compute architectures.
The ultimate culmination being certain subreddits where the banned "retarded" has been replaced by the homonym "regarded", such that referring to someone as "highly regarded" is understood to mean the former, not the latter.
Know how is mostly avaiable and what is not avaiable, could be bought or developed.

What we don't have, is the dedication or the will to focus on space. And granted, there are quite some other problems waiting for solutions.
I envy the individual whose life is so fulfilled and devoid of more pressing issues that they can take the time and energy to pontificate the “morality” of people using a chat service
I have updated the implementation to incorporate your feedback as much as possible while maintaining accuracy in the command descriptions. Now there is also a new help screen which can be invoked by typing '?'.

I am hoping the information in the new help screen will make the commands easier to understand. However, if you or anyone has better ideas about describing the commands, please feel free to send pull requests.

Thank you for playing with this tool and for offering your feedback! It has been very helpful in refining the command descriptions.
"They certainly didn’t ask the HN crowd. I wonder who they surveyed." You probably didn't survey the HN crowd either.
It's odd to complain about discord "tarnishing" the word server, when discord, for the longest time (starting from the beginning), called them guilds. It's only due to users calling them servers, because that's the colloquial term, that led to the change in user facing messaging. They're still called guilds in the docs.
