You can resolve it by choosing a standard style for the whole project and letting auto format do the rest.

Maybe even auto rejecting commits that don't match it, like some projects do.

You could of course do the same with a flexible language, but without manual formatting at least some part there's probably not going to be as much benefit.

I guess you could say "auto format leaves braces alone" but then you don't have a fully machine executable style.

Maybe you could have the auto format just always compact the braces, but that seems like encouraging dense one liners, most projects probably want to discourage that.
Following the article's link to another article, it sounds like BA has been stable in providing this route since 2014, while two other airlines have each predicted enough raised demand to support them and then eventually exited.

I've known restaurants that existed to be overflow for a better restaurant right next door in a place with high demand.
I am sure that this piece of fan fiction from Mr Yudkowsky is top notch and worthy of everyone’s time but unfortunately I was pulled away by a strong urge to go outside and try to pick up a feral cat instead of scrolling through this infinite length tweet about I don’t know, chat bots or something?
No it's not. Just use PeerTube.
What was the site? What’s the context?
The number of new physicians in the US are restricted because you need to go through residency and the number of residency slots are limited because they have to be funded by Medicare (why ?).

There's a huge lobby (AMA) to keep it that way, to ensure their members salaries remain high.

PAs and NPs don't have the same restriction so hospital systems are pushing to have them handle office visits as much as possible. This also has the advantage of being more profitable because they can charge the same.

In the last 5 years me and my wife have never been able to see a doctor, only a PA, even though we pay the same.
Is climate change falsifiable?
Jordan and Kenya. I'm American, for what it's worth. Frustrating that I can't just pay and use Premium while they sort out their content jurisdiction issues. They know what I'm watching, and from where—can't they figure out how to do their licensing stuff?!

If I subscribe while in the US/EU (or on a VPN) it works, but the second you connect from an IP in a country that isn't supported, you get a notice that you will see ads. And it's not realistic or efficient to be on a VPN on all my (and my family's) devices 24/7.
And they shutdown all his other projects.
The majority of my friends met their better/other halves at the office. But now the in-person office culture is far less. From a pandemic keeping us physically distant to this current stay-at-home office worker, seems like some sort of phone-based option is where we're at now.
I'd pay for YT if it wasn't run by Google.

Google wants to track me and sell the data and wants me to pay for it, and I'm not willing to be abused that badly.
You have a hash that n trusted parties agree on. This is enabled by reproducible builds.
Depends on what you consider winning. Consider that out of the 20% of internet users that have adblock today, only a fraction will be willing to turn to illicit means should Google get serious, especially if it requires anything more complicated than installing an extension.

Also keep in mind that pirate groups are able to crack L1 Widevine only because some companies let the keys slip in a breach. The keys are burned as soon as they are discovered, making it impractical to disseminate them for public use.

It's only because individual movies/tv shows have a high enough value (versus the cost of cracking it, the risk of your keys being burned) that pirate groups are able to thrive. This wouldn't work well with Youtube as it's value is primarily derived from having a large quantity of content.

I don't think many people would be willing to pay per Youtube video as they do for a movie.
Moderation in China is a hard business.
It's not a given that YouTube would be lost. For example, I could see a world where it was collectively 'nationalized' by the UN, made ad-free and accessible to all.
This was really interesting to read. I believe everything you said, but I have never met anyone like what you are describing. I only get complaints from friends that women expect them to pay for everything on a date.

I don't know anybody that complains that their wife/gf makes more than them. It's pretty rare, but those in that position are very grateful for the freedom to work lower paying jobs with higher satisfaction.
I think “For All Mankind” is a great “What If” show about what things would be like if we had kept pushing forward.

The thing about the series though was that NASA was self funded and didn’t have to justify spending billions in taxpayer money.

Also, do we really have better propulsion technology to make space travel more efficient?
I like (current) bestseller lists: they usually contain all books not worth reading.
If your form of payment is running malware, don't be surprised that security software (recommended by the FBI mind you[0]) blocks it. Same as if your form of payment were running a crypto miner or exploiting local IoT devices to set up a botnet.

Don't be surprised also that if your business is distributing malware that people won't be very sympathetic toward you when they take the bait you offer without running the payload.

Because you can monetize from free videos. How do you think TikTok makes so much money?.
Think we agree that blocking ad blockers is in YouTube's immediate, short-term interest. However, I'm not sure it's in their long-term interest because it goes against the principle of reciprocation.

Regarding reciprocation, a lot of platforms offer a free tier and then offer additional features for paid subscribers. There's the principle of reciprocation at play: they give me something for free and that then makes me more likely to pay for additional features. But I'm only willing to pay for features, not to have an annoyance, like ads, removed. The conditions I'd have to agree to feel coerced ... like making an agreement with Darth Vader: "pray YouTube doesn't alter the deal further by now only blocking 50% of ads for a paid subscriber." What do I, as an end user, get out of this other than feeling hostile towards YouTube?

It's my computational device and my internet connection. I think there's a very complex argument to be made but this isn't the forum for it.
His activism is quite bad for profits and that makes some people angry at him.

This indirectly led to him being accused of being a sexual predator but it doesnt mean he actually is one.

Well that says more about you than about the iPhone. One example: User experience regarding camera processing improved tremendously between X and 14. Only with the bigger processing power they could optimize images in a fraction of a second after taking them. The photonic engine as we have today, would not be deliver the same experience on an iPhone X.
I discovered Lunar from this post and I love it, have been looking for an app like this for a while!
Hey, thank you for responding, it's cool to find the author here. Fundamentally, I mostly don't disagree with you. (I do wonder at his purpose.) I didn't read that piece, was it from one of the credentialed elite? There are 8 billion people in the world, if you read enough of their writing you'll see lots of bad ideas. Tuning out the noise is work.

The fact that better tech to do something drives down the cost of it is, to me anyway, almost tautological, that's part of the definition of better tech. There a 0-to-1 inflection point where something wasn't possible at all before, therefore the price was effectively infinite, but after that it's by definition better if it lowers all the costs that matter. Debates ensue when the financial cost is lower and the other costs get raised, which is usually the case. No one argues when the financial cost is same or lower, the pollution is demonstrably lower, and the performance is the same or better. Iphone assembly workers don't commit suicide as much as they once did, that's progress.
For some miltech, it functions similarly to consumer tech but doesn't break as easily, that's why it's better tech at 10x the financial cost of consumer tech.

Tech is tech. It doesn't solve people. If you wear eyeglasses, they are expensive because of people (monopolies, Luxxotica). Fundamentally, he was writing about people.

The first words of his are in a section titled "Lies". And one such "lie" is that technology threatens the environment. Yeah, show me miltech that doesn't?
Good points. The primary motivation is simply to get useful feedback from legit users. Similar to when you post something on Show HN but more focused. An NDA for essentially a few minutes of someone's time does seem like a bit much... so likely it wouldn't fit this type of need.
and you hit one of the main objections to the theory of falsifiability as the criterion of science. There are also other more serious ones, like the obvious fact that actual science does't seem to actually work this way. The idea is more to explain observations in a coherent way rather than to be falsifiable for example. One example is the big bang theory being proposed by a Catholic astronomer who didn't like the then prevaling idea that the universe did not have a beginning or end because it went against his religious beliefs. Or Kepler looking for planets at locations in accord with musical harmonies because he though it was consistent with the existence of a God
Im sorry if that was the impression I gave you. This is my first post on hackernews and im here to share my story and connect with fellow entrepreneurs. Web design agency is my latest venture and may be I was a bit more excited about sharing about it. I hope you will understand this!

I absolute believe that Vercel does not like to host it and they have the freedom to restrict the service. But I _am_ curious which term of the TOS it violated.
Genetics is not a credible science, ie, it's just another one of the many sciences that thinks correlation is causation. This is because it can't do experiments, so it can't really show causation.

(Identical twins are close to a natural experiment but not a very good one as even they don't have the same genetics.)
"Arguments from authority carry little weight — “authorities” have made mistakes in the past. They will do so again in the future. Perhaps a better way to say it is that in science there are no authorities; at most, there are experts."

That's the most controversial, because a lot of people want to be authorities and don't want to be questioned.

For instance, the origins of Covid... or really lots of things about the pandemic were pushed by authorities with little justification other than authority. It turns out many of those things were subsequently reversed or reasonably doubted.
Christian Rudder (main author of the blog) wrote his own book Dataclysm. It's separate from the blog though, that was called OkTrends and you can find the articles on archive.org.
The age math sucks for women too. If she wants a career she has a short window to get experience and find a spouse before she gets pregnant.

If she wants a doctorate she has to be married before she enters the workforce.

She has time for maybe 1-3 long term relationships before she ages out of childbearing age.

So yes women have more options but they also have less time to pick the right one.
No. Because then angry people are rewarded for being angry, and that's not happy.
12ft.io is a paywall buster. Not sure on the context other than it might be against their ToS?

> Now program managers, it remains to be seen where their value comes from and I hope it does

in my experience, they manage project managers for systems with a high degree of complexity, e.g. an aircraft, and the product managers work through them, instead of through project managers directly. Or they are themselves the product manager, just with different terminology depending on the industry
There's plenty of precedent for this. Amazon has said they'll be introducing ads on Prime Video, where everyone has already paid for the service. I've seen ads on other already-paid-for services too. The simple fact is that business people will always want more ads everywhere, no matter how much it degrades the customer experience, because extra revenue is easier to measure than customer disgust. In their personal lives they probably hate ads as much as we do, but a fatter paycheck can buy a lot of hypocrisy.
The problem with voting is that the closer you bring authentication to the picture, the harder it becomes to solve the issue of ballot secrecy.

Today's "sign the book at the poll, and we give you a ballot, which is one of 500 in this precinct-level box" provides at least some level of obfuscation.

I did vote in an election online. Back in 2000, the Arizona Democratic Party ran their (largely a token gesture) primary online as an proof of concept, and I cast my ballot from the main computer lab at ASU. It was convenient, but not breathtakingly more convenient than the mail-in balloting that is a major percentage of users today. Arguably, putting a physical ballot in people's hands is a really strong motivator to actually vote. Although even there, I'm a little more suspect about ballot secrecy; are they really keeping a firewall between the signed perjury declaration on the envelope and the ballot itself?
I would say consider yourself lucky that you don’t use questionably-coded apps. I have an iPhone se 2020 (a generation newer) and some apps have a noticeable and annoying lag. A local transport app (9292) is a particularly notorious offender.
Something boring, well documented, and widely used. The more boring the better. I'd avoid hotshot stacks like the plague because they are usually immature and tend to change quickly.

Ideally, I'd pick something that has OpenAPI as a first class citizen or code generation, including validation.
> The fact that you can—if you wish—have less infrastructure should make it easier to deal with, not harder.

Look, I don't know what to tell you, honestly.

I tend to think I'm fairly more litterate in networking than most software engineers. I am no network engineer, but I have spent most of the last decade writing networking software, including layer 2 VPNs.

I am also genuinely interested in understanding new tech.

Yet, IPv6 _terrifies_ me.

Every 2 years or so I'm in the mood of learning it. And every time, after reading docs on the subject, I'm like "Nope, I'll wait til I retire to get my IPv6 PhD".

Maybe that's just a matter of finding a proper, accessible documentation. I always end up thinking "okay so that's a total big bang I have to rethink entirely everything I know about L3".
One of the guys behind Convex explained the rough idea; I hope I do it justice.

The strategy is to break the subscription up into listens based on the read-set ranges of the query. Then you put the individual read-set ranges into a system table that you index. Finally when writes happen, you notify all queries who's read-set intersects with the write-set.

For example, say I have a query `SELECT * from block WHERE parent_id = X AND last_modified_at > Y`.

This query might create two subscriptions for its read sets:

{ query_id: Q, table: block, column: parent_id, min: X, max: X }
{ query_id: Q, table: block, column: last_modified_at, min: Y, max: Infinity }

Now a write happens: `INSERT INTO block { id: Z, parent_id: X, last_modified_at: Y + 10, title: "hi" }`

We can find our subscriptions to notify by doing queries like these:

SELECT query_id FROM subscription WHERE
table = block
AND (
(column = id
AND min <= new_block.id
AND max >= new_block.id
)
OR
(column = parent_id
AND min <= new_block.parent_id
AND max >= new_block.parent_id)
OR
(column = last_modified_at
AND min <= new_block.last_modified_at
AND max >= new_block.last_modified_at)
)

Then you notify all those query_ids.

I'm sure there's a lot of details and optimizations you can do on top of this; finding the right read sets seems pretty tricky for complex queries. Plus stuff like batching/debouncing, etc.
This part doesn’t seem unreasonable to me, however the domains being held does seem unreasonable.
Firstly: I pay for youtube premium. Secondly, I honestly do not understand what gymnastics you think I am going through. I can view and control whatever content is sent to my computer. I do not have an obligation to allow any company to send arbitrary data or to force me to view it. Do you think it's similarly bad to skip around a video, when clearly the content creator meant for it to be a whole complete video? How about if I skip ahead when the content creator has a sponsor ad section?

You are right, I could choose to just not go to youtube (or any other ad-supported website). Or, I could choose to view whatever portions of a website are made publicly available, in whatever way seems best to me. Just like I don't have to go to youtube, they don't have to make it publicly available. It goes both ways.

Trust me. We as the customers can tell. It's really sad.

Everything that gets released today seems cobbled together and half baked. The "this is something we bought and slapped an API and product umbrella on top of" is glaringly obvious.

Back in 2018 we used to get strong "give a shit" vibes from all the product teams we talked to. Now it's more "this is what we're going to build, isn't it going to be great?".

I skip all the product meetings we get invited to now.
> I also wonder if the rise of the "this video is sponsored by xyz" segments in people's videos have cause more harm. That ad money that is circumventing Youtube entirely, paid directly to the content producer. So Youtube might be "jealous" of this revenue and wants to encourage its content producers to let them run ads only?

I think this is exactly right, but what's missing from the story is that YouTube created this problem. I'm mostly on educational YouTube, and in that sector creators turned to sponsorships because the alternative was to constantly wonder whether your next video would be demonetized and lose out on all the revenue (while still showing ads on the videos!) Sponsorships are a much more predictable revenue stream.

If YouTube wanted to support creators better, they wouldn't do it by adding more and more ads (to the point where my wife is finally approaching me to ask about ad block), they would do it by actually addressing creator concerns about reliability of their revenue streams.
It wouldn't be so bad, except so many MDs, PAs, and NPs are just bad.
This is coming from someone who has been traveling with a sick family member for a few years. There are great (read: skilled, thoughful, patient, investigative, this.patient data driven) professionals out there, but they are badly outnumbered and booked for months near a year into the future. A huge bunch display the interest, skill, or attention of someone working a a declining fast food franchise. Worst of all, most of the good medical practitioners don't even have their own practices, they can't afford the combo of liquidity and red tape, at least that's what a couple have told me.

It’s about responsibility, the PM is responsible for the success of a product. To achieve this he collaborates with all the parties you mention, but in the end the PM has the responsibility. Key in this is bringing together knowledge of the market, the competitors, the customer problems, the value of a solution to these customers, determining a roadmap that will lead towards a successful product, coordinate launch, service, support, and continuous monitoring of the state of the product (does it have the right features, what is the competition doing, what does sales need to effectively sell the product, etc).

Reforge provides good training for product managers. This article provides a good overview of a role of a PM: https://www.reforge.com/previews/product/what-does-a-product...
I'm sure you have the best of intentions, but there is potential for a conflict of interest when the union is imposed form the top-down rather than the bottom-up, no?
I wager most of the YouTube engineers use an ad blocker. As do many of the other people who work on YouTube. They don't want ads either. They know they are intrusive and obnoxious.
This is a great book, but you must first be familiar with proof-focused mathematics (logic and set theory). If you are not, I first suggest you study a book called "How to Prove It: A Structured Approach" by Daniel J. Velleman before studying LA Done Right.
Maybe a minority opinion, but I believe uBlock just needs to stop trying.

Let Youtube "win" and further sink into garbage heap and become more irrelevant. The more ads Youtube shows, the less useful and relevant it becomes.

Sure, I mean, maybe Youtube always exists and always makes money, but its origins are practically lost at this point.
The difference is that there's no possible model for this kind of hypothetical phenomena, it's by definition undefined behavior. Imagine a universe where the formula 𝜏=rF would just randomly be violated for no absolutely no reason, such as a person sometimes accidentally throwing a baseball that leaves the atmosphere, or a child accidentally lifting a house. Even the randomness of quantum mechanics can be explained using models that are very consistent and testable, but the only theory we could come up for this wouldn't be based in math, it'd be the equivalent to blaming it on magic, and no amount of advancement in science would ever come closer to explaining it.

As a botanist, I have been pretty impressed with Seek's plant IDs. If it is uncertain, it will almost always only ID to genus or family. It doesn't always get IDs right, but it's good.
Postgres is certainly the top of the list (and has been for a decade).

Outside of that I think there are a few ways you can split boring.

* Reliable + Around forever -> Erlang. (But its different enough from what most know that you may not find it boring to learn)

* Reliable + Around forever + boring to hire for -> Java, C#

* Reliable + Around forever + so simple its boring -> Go, HTTP, REST

* Reliable + Around forever + reduce the need to learn anything else -> Javascript, CSS, HTML, linux, vim, emacs,
