> Privacy matters wherever you are.

Sure, but it doesn't really answer the question.

> Anything else is unsettling and oppressive.

I understand the argument to be made for monitoring employees as they move throughout the work site. If there is a building fire, then security can validate that I've made it out safely and they don't need to spend resources trying to find me in the building. I don't find this oppressive. I'm not even sure what I'm giving up for having my physical presence monitored at a work building.

I also agree that privacy matters, and I'll advocate for it. But, I frequently struggle to express why it matters.

Affordable housing is a loaded term. In the US that means housing whose price is fixed to some percentage of the area's median income. I do not want affordbale housing. I want market rate housing with uncapped supply. This would make it a commodity.
No. And I would not even attempt to because I feel sure that anything
I found (especially from a casual search on the internet) would not be
credible. As I said there is mud-slinging on both sides. Six of one
and half a dozen of the other.

But I am confident that the original claim of "crackpot" theories that
have been "debunked" is just more of the same opinionated,
unscientific bunkum.

If this used cppawk (which didn't exist when this was developed), it could use #include. This is nicely relative to the file; no AWKPATH. Also you can just "build" the preprocessed program into a single file which then doesn't need cppawk.

Ask HN: How do you name software?
I recently released some software and it took considerable effort to name. After the public announcement, I learned there was a preexisting project with the same name. Since my software isn't at v1, I'm back to the drawing board. It is a CLI so my criteria is:

- It has to be short enough to type comfortably.

- It has to have a domain available.

- I have to feel an affinity for it.

That last point is fuzziest. How do other people name software?
> that's not a sustainable business model

Why not? Trump's 2016 election alone seems to have caused subscriptions to places like the Washington Post and New York Times to increase, and led to a small but fervent industry in creating Trump- and MAGA-related merchandise outside the news industry.

It seems like there should be potential for a company or cartel to market elections more like WWE or boxing matches, pitting a hero against a heel, selecting hype men and women to be VP picks, and selling merchandise along the way.

There are only so many Wordle's that the NYT can buy, but you can fly at least five Trump flags from the back of a pickup. I think the industry could easily adapt (or at least, new media companies could form) by making a greater spectacle of elections and bankrolling the campaigns of those they think could drive views and subscriptions should they be elected.

I've seen what Fox News has done to the political discourse in this country, and I think we could go WAY darker as these legacy media companies continue to fight the dying light.
> then people decided perl was bad and moved on from that.

That's a large part of what's driving Awk's renaissance: devs that never learned Perl to begin with want something to fill the gap between shell and Python, and other devs like me who (reluctantly) abandoned Perl because it was deemed "uncool" by HN types, which means Perl and all code written in it now has an expiration date on it. But since Awk is a POSIX standard, HN types can't get rid of it.
Fifteen years ago I pulled out my point and shoot camera while on tourism in a random city in Turkey. I wanted to take a picture of a beautiful flower bush outside a shop. The shop keeper rushed out and scolded me not to take pictures and proceeded to tell me to appreciate the beauty with my eyes.

The moment stuck with me. Of course he was right. But he was fighting a cultural tsunami.

In general ipinfo.io has the best data and the best product out there in the IP API niche. It is what it is. Your data is the most accurate and most updated.

Hosting detection is a finite process, meaning that there is a finite amount of hosting providers out there to detect after all. Challenge lies in staying up to date.

So maybe we can make a compromise and state that ipinfo.io is likely a bit better than ipapi.is in hosting detection.

But ipapi.is for sure detects some hosting provider's that you don't. Examples:

https://api.ipapi.is/?q=185.45.13.144

https://api.ipapi.is/?q=185.50.248.0

https://api.ipapi.is/?q=91.102.88.0

Summary: Your product is maybe a bit better in regards to hosting detection than https://ipapi.is/, but it is much much much much more expensive ;)
"Our youth have been ruined..."

I don't get where this hyperbole comes from. Wasn't every generation "ruined" by this, that or the other thing? We need to maintain some perspective. The youth are the more relevant ones here, not us.
I think you're reading the chart wrong. The majority does say that police cars and ambulances are not allowed in based on that rule.

It is a bad chart though. I was confused too.
And we seem to be lacking in "human safety", which I find more egregious.

It’s not apples and oranges. America was far more prosperous than South Korea or Japan in 1945. But it didn’t get that way by being happy.
Yes, Bitcoin uses proof of wasted computation as its security mechanism. That’s why it’s widely recognized as an inefficient design because you can just look at the alternatives which are faster, more secure, or both and do not require the energy equivalent of a fair-sized country to operate a database.

It’s a great software engineering case study: the algorithm is a neat solution to a problem that almost nobody has, so while it’s cool as an intellectual exercise it’s failed to see much adoption even as it passes the middle of its second decade because it’s not cost effective for most people. It’s kind of like the idea of a supersonic airliner: a neat engineering challenge but a failure in the marketplace because 99.9% of people don’t need the problem it solves desperately enough to pay so much more.
yes, exactly: the argument for smartphones was obvious: "i want to take this app that i use on my computer, and take it everywhere with me in my pocket".

that same argument doesn't exist for these new AI devices. there's no reason these point-a-camera-and-get-an-ai-response apps can't exist on phones, or computers, but they mostly don't. so who's calling for putting those apps that don't exist on your face?

Females are XX and double dosage of the X chromosome genes is fatal. One of the copies must be deactivated.

Double dosage of any chromosome in humans is typically not compatible with life or will cause severe mental and developmental dysfunction. The body and its development are fine tuned for the gene doses it receives.

In order for females to be healthy, the double X system evolved to self-deactivate the second X chromosome so a double dosage does not occur. The resulting inactive X chromosome is termed a barr body. You can also see this effect in female calico cats - the fur patterns are the result of some cells having one X active and other cells having the other one.

This paper states that the gene regulatory mechanisms that shut down the second X chromosome are the causal agent for this differential sex determined auto-immunity. Though the X deactivation mechanisms play a critical role, they can accidentally trigger the immune system to attack self.
This isn't an argument against giving users this much VRAM, but I'm pretty sure they'd just drop the whole game into VRAM and call it a day instead of actually optimizing.

I’m on mounjaro, and do my best to ingest 150g of protein per day, plus lifting 3x a week. Prior to the increase in protein (as a percentage of my diet) I’d lost about 5# worth of muscle, as measured by an in body 270, and about 20# of fat. Since I’ve upped my protein intake I’ve started gaining the muscle back while continuing to lose fat.

Can’t do this stuff without tracking your body comp or you’re going to end up in a world of hurt.
I would nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
If "capitalism" is the reason that it's ok to fire someone because they're about to have a child, then capitalism is garbage and should be discarded.

Systems that prioritize money over humans are disgusting, and, sadly, we have far too many of them in modern society.

Note that we implicitly recognize this through law: there is no such thing as a "free market". Markets are regulated, and we have things like FMLA because we understand that capitalism is heartless, and if we allowed it free rein, we'd live in a dystopian society that no one except the wealthy elite would actually want.

Unfortunately, even with all that, we still don't control enough of capitalism's negative effects on people.

That's why I downvoted you. Also, don't complain about downvotes. That's against the HN guidelines, and will usually get you downvoted further; complaining about downvotes rarely leads to interesting discussion. If you're unsure why you're being downvoted, maybe that's your problem, not ours. No one lacks self-respect because they see an obviously-crappy comment, downvotes it, and moves on without "defending" their vote. The entire concept you are trying to push with that is nonsensical.

> Then there'd been new 'trick' questions with new edge cases where people are split too.

Yeah, and they'd be orders of magnitude less important.

Agreement across a selection of events, weighted by likelihood of actually happening, would skyrocket.

> but imagine someone doesn't have your drive

Sometimes, the lack of drive is because it's not something you really want to do.

Caveat: while not super common, in my case the "not having the drive despite being x/y/z good traits" just turned out to be undiagnosed ADHD. Dopamine is strongly linked with willingness to do tasks and is affected in ADHD. Of course this isn't the case for everybody, but if you/someone is chronically late/procrastinates, is very unorganized/messy, struggles to finish tasks etc - it's worth googling executive dysfunction at the very least, and then perhaps talking with your doctor.
My pet peeve in college was people who "studied" for "12 hours yesterday" but never had more than 12 minutes of continuous focus.

Personally I have the most success with a couple of hours of focus followed by 30-120 minutes of doing anything else (walking, billiards, lunch, netflix, whatever)
>Skip the middleman (private companies vacuuming up all the data and selling to govt).

Why skip it? Keep it and enlarge it. Then you get to have your cake (total surveilance) and eat it too (it's not the government doing it! we're just buying those private sector data).

Same way you can censor as a government and still be all about "free speech"! You just let the private sector do the censoring - with a little carrot and stick encouragement from you, they know what they have to do and will even jump at the chance without you having to explicitly ask them.
Reverse that.

Why is it a strange signifier that a police officer living next door and a park where kids are openly playing implies it's a nice neighborhood that you might enjoy living in?

it's like saying it's a strange signifier that you would avoid a neighborhood with homeless walking down the street pushing carts and empty syringes laying around the sidewalk.

Neither of those seem strange conclusions and I posit that if you can't understand that it says more about you than anything else.

and yes, I've been shown houses in neighborhoods like that, and no, I didn't move in.
Weight loss is not starving yourself, it's a great improvement for lots of western adults health if done responsibly.
The limited supply is what makes the market not work.

Whatever people think about migrants we can at least agree that everyone living in an area (town/city/country) all should have a roof over their head.

The real problem seems the disconnect between people, companies, processes and regulations getting in the way of building and the people, companies, processes and regulations wanting to move there or expand the population.

> I'd like to see a revival of awk. It's less easy to scale up, so there's very little risk that starting a project with a little bit of awk results in the next person inheriting a multi-thousand line awk codebase. Instead, you get an early-ish rewrite into a more scalable and maintainable language.

Taco Bell programming is the way to go.

This is the thinking I use when putting together prototypes. You can do a lot with awk, sed, join, xargs, parallel (GNU), etc. But it's really a lot of effort to abstract in a bash script, so the code is compact. I've built many data engineering/ML systems with this technique. Those command line tools are SO WELL debugged and have reasonable error behavior that you don't have to worry about complexities of exception handling, etc.
This is the very definition of small government. Anything less is no government, and the only people who, after seriously thinking about it, seriously want no government, are organized criminals, extreme sociopaths, and extreme survivalists who are already living in isolation.
You can just deploy other applications to Kubernetes, for example you can deploy this operator https://prometheus-operator.dev/ and you get Prometheus and Grafana running with a bunch of dashboards already created. Then you annotate your pods to tell Prometheus what to scrape, and you got monitoring. It also comes with AlertManager for alerting. Same for logging, you deploy Elasticsearch and Kibana and you're good to go.
at the core of this is language, which is both a lossy medium for transmitting thoughts and-appears to be designed to be-ambiguous. it doesn’t help too that we don’t study it anymore, and seem to be slowly gravitating towards a small core vocabulary that is called into all sorts of services. our words are in tension at all times. on common sense, i’d define it as the substrate of all of one’s experiences through life. it’s empirical. there’s no absolute common sense where there’s no absolute experience. and that’s why education and other forms of civilization-preserving socializations are important. where you find yourself in firm possession of common sense that your interlocutors seem to lack, be curious and learn about their life experience.
There are lots of pieces of software where that makes sense, but presentation software is not one of them. Specifically, adoption of new features in presentation software is rare and slow because you don't want to be fiddling with unfamiliar things while trying to give a presentation.

I would be extra upset if a feature changed or the interface changed between practicing and giving a presentation for example.

I want my presentation software to have a set of features and then never change until I make a very deliberate act of upgrading to a new version while still having the old one around in case I get stuck.

A subscription to auto-updating software is about the worst thing I can think of presentation software in particular.

> Interviews should give information to both parties about what it would be like if the person joined.

I have participated in interview processes where, at the last interview, the employer tries to talk the candidate out of taking the job. Discuss the problems, the warts, the intractable issues, and other things that are downsides of this job. Every organization has these.

I love this, because the employee is going to find all of the issues out anyway, and it's better for both parties if they part before employment begins if the issues are too much.
These are recommendations, not regulation.

IMO another aspect that could have been highlighted is that really rule-enforcement is “part of the game,” despite any attempt to take it out, and people will engage in strategies that attack the rules.

There are lots of strategies that attack the rules in the pedantry space. One could post odious content that carefully is constructed to not break the rules. Or post odious content that breaks the rules in a manner similar to the rule-breaking of somebody you don’t like, to highlight uneven enforcement. Post rule breaking content, but of a type which is generally non-odious and general not banned. Try to find room to quibble about what exactly justified an exception.

I think the WWII tank is an interesting question. It is clearly a vehicle, so not allowed by the rule. But it is non-functioning, so it isn’t at risk of violating the most likely intentions of the rule (to prevent noise and injuries). It is an unusual artifact in that it is a monument to a war which is generally considered (to a basically unmatched degree) to have been just. If we allow the tank, do we allow an Iraq war or Vietnam war tank? We just need to solve the question of which wars are just, first, I guess, so to enforce our no vehicles bylaw we’ll have to solve all of politics. Or maybe add a “no war related monuments rule” which seems nice until a veterans group wants to donate a couple benches with little plaques on them.

I'm sure both would be fine but a lot of people want to live in a place like NYC. They just need to build more housing to accommodate it.

For instance, I'm a single man. I could get numerous remote jobs. This wouldn't help my chances of dating a young professional woman though if I moved out to BFE. Thus, why I'm in NYC. They just need to make more housing. A ton of the projects here in the city are completely frozen.

> I'm not sure how you interpret "It is impossible to make laws perfect and unambiguous for all humans everywhere" as "We should just give up on refining laws because we can't get to perfection".

Because the sentence you quoted was "We don’t conclude that laws are impossible to make perfect, we simply keep refining the laws, right?"

"conclude" here means a full conclusion, stop and do nothing else.

By quoting that entire sentence, and saying "we definitely do conclude that", it sounds like you're arguing we shouldn't bother with refining. And nothing else in your post praised the attempt to refine.

Even now that you've corrected that misreading of your post, it means you were arguing against a strawman. dahart was just saying not to give up.
