Growth assumes that older posters continue to post, which both according to TFA and my own analysis isn't true.

In my own analysis, comments in a thread have a recent-user bias and roughly 30-40% of an article's comments will come from the last 3-4 years of users. I found this to hold true for many large threads over the past 5 years, though I haven't yet exhaustively demonstrated this yet simply because I don't do HN analysis that often.

What that means practically is that the folks who post on this site are constantly changing. I also, generally, find that the most contentious threads on this site tend to have a relatively stronger recency bias among its posters.

By that regard, eternal September is ever present: the posts on this site weigh toward recent posters. I'd be curious to see if that effect can be explained by throwaways and sock puppet posters but I'm not sure of any reliable way to identify those especially as historic karma counts aren't kept for users.

While I have more robust models that work a lot better, a very simple method I've found is that the more recent the upper percentiles of posters are on a thread, the less I will like it: to me Eternal September is here. Of course my user here is ancient from 2009. The numbers just quantify that there's been a change in audience since I joined, a wholly unsurprising fact.
Past people spent good portions of their lives fighting banality, through abstraction, so we can focus on more interesting problems now.

I thank and respect them, at the expense of some plentiful CPU cycles.
This is also unfortunate for software in general, not just games. If I want to relive the 90s, it’s possible to set up an old computer with Windows 98 and Office.

But skip forward a decade — you cann’t run Facebook as it was in 2005; it’s gone forever. Same goes for any apps you installed on your iPhone; those are gone from the store and are never coming back.
> The IPv4 address field is fixed size.

So?

Make it bigger, call it IPv7, then enjoy.

IPv6 has 128 bits for addresses, why can't IPv7 have 128 bits as well, but still use more familiar patterns/techniques borrowed from IPv4?

IPv6 threw just about everything out the window... for what reason? Two decades of confusion and resistance...

I think at this point in time, people are afraid to say "ya, we overthought the hell out of IPv6".

> That's why the new Ethernet protocol 802.11aq is recommending Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) as a robust alternative to Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).

This is a dead letter standard: most folks who would 'need' SPB are probably using BGP EVPN to reduce the Layer 2 'blast radius'.

It should also be noted that the IEEE was dragged kicking and screaming towards SPB: originally TRILL was proposed, but the IEEE rejected it, and so the IETF published:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRILL_(computing)

IEEE realized their mistake and published SPB, so now there are two L2 standards.

Not many folks who either though, with anyone really needing 'large scale' stuff moving towards L3 solutions.

From my experience as a sole proprietor in the EU, yes... you very much need invoices issued with your VAT number for any business expense, or else you get in big trouble. (Also many invoices in EU are e-invoices, which means the tax authorities get updated in real-time, so your tax account gets updated automatically, so you don't have to file taxes -- you just see a balance of what you owe and from what transaction...)

Also... the author's main point is that policies should make sense, not that the loophole is difficult or risky to exploit.
I've spent a lot of time screening resumes for software engineering positions.

Having a public GitHub profile is not a requirement, and most GitHub profiles I see are worthless. They're either large open source repos where the candidate contributed a few trivial changes among thousands; or personal repos that are just them working through some cookie-cutter online tutorial. The most useful repos from a screening perspective are where you created a non-trivial project from scratch. It doesn't have to be anything ground-breaking or truly novel. It just has to show evidence that you identified a problem worth solving, and spent some meaningful amount of time solving it, so that the code you wrote is a faithful representation of your ability to build and evolve a software system over time.

A lot of people just post "student code", which is badly organized, badly formatted, sparsely commented, and untested. This gives me no positive signal. Putting in the time to apply professional software engineering standards, even to a personal project, is much more likely to give me a positive impression of your capabilities.

Aside from the repo question: this just seems to be a difficult time for job-seekers. Lots of companies are doing layoffs and slowing hiring, is my perspective on the situation.

Other resume signals:

* A degree from a top 10 or top 20 university may help you stand out; top 50 is nothing special (but not a negative either).

* Sad as it is to say, if you've been hired at a well-known tech company with fairly high standards, that does provide a positive signal. If the only companies you've worked at are small startups I've never heard of, it's a bit harder for me to justify spending 30-45 minutes on a phone screen.

That said, the #1 thing I look for is whether you've done the previously done the kind of work I need to have done, and done it successfully (e.g., you stayed a while at the same company and the company didn't fail). (Obviously I can't attribute that to you individually, but I might at least give you a chance to demonstrate your depth of knowledge and ability in a phone screen.)
Reading The Denial of Death was a particularly interesting experience to me in my early 20's and, honestly, brought a lot of peace of mind regarding my future.

No, something like that is observable by any person. You made claims, theological claims, about Jesus and OT and the rest of it. That is not mere observation. And then when responded to claim ignorance of such matters and make snide comments about reaching out to others. It is a dishonest way of discussing a matter. Enjoy the blooms. It is spring..
> Chroma-keying is more tolerant to spill, only needs one camera with one film reel, and you don't need a special screen with special lamps and special cameras.

Fair on the number of films/cameras.

Is normal keying actually more tolerant to spill or is it just worse so you're going to have to manually deal with spill anyway so you just live with it? I don't even have good eyes and even I sometimes see spill in actual movies, or especially in TV. Edit: I guess that's _different_ spill though.

I mean you do famously need a special screen :) And you don't need _special_ lamps per se but you do have to light your greenscreen fairly well to have real success.

I agree 100%. Flutter needs a real build system. Bazel could be that? Feels better than inventing a new one.

Google has Flutter and Dart rules, yes, but they were started so long ago (for Google AdWords, which uses Dart on the Web), and historically were very tied to internal Google oddities. If we went with Bazel, we'd just write new ones publicly.

Have you ever debated with a propaganda account? It's worth doing at least once if you haven't. It gives you a sense of how they work.

I've seen no research to suggest that point-by-point reputations of propaganda accounts are effective. Usually it's better to just draw attention to what's happening and move on.

The whole idea of this kind of propaganda is that bs is cheap to generate. You can a/b test it and go with what gains traction. Most people don't have the intellectual background on any given topic to form an informed opinion anyway. And you can shore up even the craziest ideas with "social proof" by deploying additional propaganda accounts to agree with the original.

So I don't think "attack the argument" is effective for this sort of thing. I do think it's important in general when dealing with good faith participants who want to learn things and are willing to change their minds
> I use a bunch of sleep trackers and have spent 5 years to correlate poor sleep to bad listening/more misunderstandings

Interesting. Have you posted anything online about your findings? I think we are at an interesting time where now people have many years of sleep data and we can see more precisely what used to be discussed in more general terms.

You can know the IP addresses on your LAN. If you'd like you can assign multiple addresses per interface, so that you have global and local addresses. e.g. local addresses fc00::1 for your router, fc00::2 for your desktop, fc00::3 for your phone, etc. If you want, you can use your global prefix with ::1 ::2 and ::3 for your global addresses too. You don't have to use privacy extensions if you don't want to.

Things like peer to peer calling can actually work though without NAT.

For example, there will never be a feature complete alternative to Chromium/WebKit/Gecko.

But there are movements to move software to a smaller stack, like the Gemini protocol for example.

People are realising how brittle and inefficient (in terms of runtime computer resource usage and human resource usage in maintaining them) modern complex software are.

We hope to see things get better.

This is exactly the person’s point.

Did you try this Haskell problem with a paid version and can provide an example that actually disputes the described experience? Why would someone pay for the premium version of a product when they don’t perceive the free version as working?
Hmm, why don't people do this with near infrared? It would allow using full spectrum lighting, and would be easier to selectively filter.

> but also for a world of lies and propaganda

That part has always bugged me. The Lucifer is always depicted from the Bible's point of view. There are no Gospels Of Hell that give Satan's viewpoint.

And the Bible insists that only its words are true. You must not trust anything else (sorry, too lazy to find the verses right now).

For me, this sounds exactly like every propaganda outlet (and I read a lot of "Pravda" for historical research).
Elon is slowly learning why all the policies that twitter used to have existed.

In this case, twitter previously used to have clear content policies and would take down content that violated their own policies, and governments would generally let twitter do content moderation in accordance with twitter's own policies, because that was predictable and manageable.

In the name of free speech, Elon decided that twitter would not take down content unless it was illegal. The brazilian government has realized that twitter has effectively delegated their content policy to the government, and is taking advantage of that for their own gain. Elon does not like this.

Existing models will persist, but I do not see a timeline where R&D and deployment of extremely powerful (GPT-5/6+) models do not receive the same comprehensive scrutiny as the R&D and deployment of fusion weapon systems.

Creating these models require tens or hundreds of billions of dollars and buildings full of high end hardware that is only produced in one or two locations in the world. You can't hide that from world governments like 90s nerds hiding their pirated Playboy scans.
Show HN: I made a Continuous Page Speed & Stability Monitoring tool
Hi Everyone,
I've been working on FastMonitor.io solo for about a year now. FastMonitor monitors how fast your site is, and alerts you if it gets slower.

Wanted to show it to you guys and get some feedback.

Back Story: I built the basic tool kit for my previous startup - we were doing SEO and had very slow page speed across a wide variety of pages, so I ran lighthouse on an instance every day and put the results in the database and on a chart. This allowed us to chart our progress and celebrate when our pages got faster, or roll back / find the problem when things got slower.

Feedback: Would really love everyone's feedback!

Unfortunately you have to sign up to try it, but it's a free and painless signup, and the free forever plan includes monitoring for 5 URLS.

Major features:
1. Chart your page speed insights Performance Score by checking every 12-24 hours
2. Check your server response time and chart that too by checking every 5-60 minutes
3. Alert's you if there's an error (404, 500, etc, get an email)
4. Invite your team so it can be collaborative
5. For enterprise clients, do it from Lighthouse on an instance near their datacenter - piloting with first enterprise client.

Roadmap:
0. In progress - crawl sitemaps for easy onboarding. Surface all the pages and select the most important ones to monitor.

2. Slow Performance alerts - if a page goes below a certain performance threshold, alert you

3. Shared notes - write a note on a page's chart, to remember when something happened/change/jot down analysis/hypotheses.

4. More charts - we are already collecting and preparing a lot more data than we're showing... so that is coming soon

5. More types of alerts (SSL cert about to expire, stuff like that)
Circling back to partially-relatable depictions of devilry, Lewis' The Screwtape Letters has it's own mix in the eponymous author Screwtape.

I recommend it even to the non-religious since many of the human errors/temptations it discusses can still be understood through an agnostic lens. For example, one doesn't have to believe whispering devils are involved in order to believe in in/out-group thinking, inferiority complexes, procrastination, etc.

I've found that stock git works great for managing dotfiles, without any extra tools needed. Just a few lines of gitconfig and a shell alias is enough. It's all explained here: https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/dotfiles

A little 'housekeeping' every day or two does wonders for any email account.

First, throw away any junk mail with delete, or just classify it as 'spam', though that can be a little heavy-handed if something you want gets shoved into the spam folder later on unnecessarily.

Then as you read the 'good mail', allocate it to a pre-existing folder like 'bills and receipts', 'family 2024', or whatever. Anything not considered worth keeping gets deleted.

Some emails can be kept in the inbox for consideration at a later date, like 'Amazon has dispatched your order 123456'. Once that order actually arrives, the Amazon email(s) can be deleted. In the meantime, it's a reminder that some package is due to arrive, but hasn't done so yet.
I discovered my Turkish ISP is actually capable of relaying me anything that isn’t Instagram, Facebook, Netflix, Google or YouTube traffic reliably once I started using WireGuard VPN with a cheap DigitalOcean VPS.
Rather than edit my parent I’d like to expand on this -

the reason this feels particularly shitty, especially when compared to the reaction of microsoft shutting down halo servers -

halo was mostly a purely online game competitively, and single player could be played offline. There are a dizzying number of titles these days that cannot be played offline no matter how much you want to, or unless you come up with some ingenius hack.

Games that are purchased with the expectation that they won’t be around forever (like some sports franchise games that are discarded every year) are far less insulting to the consumer when support is yanked vs ones like Nintendo where you subconsciously just sort of expect to be able to play it forever.

It may seem bad for their bottom line to keep legacy server support (or enforce every game to support offline mode), but I think in the long run it builds brand loyalty and confidence. It’s a shame very few companies these days care or consider that.
Hard to imagine a bleaker future than every person isolated in their own tiny residence, never leaving, existing solely through some VR network... and yet we already have individuals like exe34 complaining that someone might try to dissuade society from embracing this exact scenario.
IPv6 breaks less backwards compatibility than many people think. Many get caught up in all of the other changes you can (and often do) do because it makes life better and conflate that with IPv6 not letting them do things the same way. About the only generally true "it breaks backwards compatibility" is the format of the address being longer for the longer address. Netmask, gateways, DHCP, static assignment, and neighbor discovery are all about as 1:1 as one could ask if that's all you care about but it's just a dumb way to do things if you're upgrading everything so then you have SLAAC, a more present link local, DHCP-PD, and so on to hear/think about as well.

E.g. you can still NAT the massive IPv6 private address space with static and/or DHCP assignments without having to change your understanding (addresses would even be darn short too!) but... it's just silly to do.

> Thusly video game manufacturers should avoid making being online a necessity to play the game - but that's unlikely to get better either.

This is the biggest issue and I wonder what can be done to fix this, short of government regulation.

I regularly play Gran Turismo 7.
It should almost entirely be playable offline but any time they do server maintenance the entire game is shut down bar a small 'arcade' mode. Even worse: the saves are entirely online. So if you happen to be racing in 'normal' mode just as the server goes offline, it will allow you to finish the race but the progress will not save anywhere and is lost.

I own the physical disc for this game but what happens when those servers inevitably get shut down?

It seems like we are at a point where it's impossible to actually 'own' games anymore.
