> are thriving on discord

This is always multiply determined, but part of the answer is that Discord and these other walled gardens are subsidized by VC funding with the expectation that at some point they'll turn on the garbage compactor and squeeze out the juicy value.
The patty doesn’t get in my fridge unless I put it there… after I’ve gone grocery shopping and picked it up. On the other hand, I pass McDonald’s everyday on the way home from work anyways.
If you look for a reputable publisher like McSweeney or Scholastic, does that help?
you've clearly never lived anywhere else. on cultural topics the US is far left nowadays.

- limits on abortion are more strict in most of the world's developed countries.

- legally-enforced and culturally-encouraged discrimination against the local majority race is is very unusual, it mostly happens in anglo countries.

- legalizing theft under $1000 in the name of anti-racism, legalizing the intentional infecting of other people with AIDS... laws like that are considered absurd in most of the world.
> so to bottom out intensely like that feels extremely hopeless.

Had a similar experience to you but took it in a different way. Came down out of the craziness and realized "hey, I'm still here, shit could be a lot worse"

But I don't get why you still came back to them after having a negative reaction. Seems like a good sign to stop
Adrift (2023)
That’s sort of like saying a ripple and a tsunami are the same thing and they differ only in terms of energy, or New York City only differs from Utica in scale. Maybe it is true in some technical sense, but that is missing a lot of important information. Being able to churn out content fast, cheaper and with algorithmic optimizations starts to look like a different beast. The level at which human overrides can keep this process in check has a limit and it can be inundated. New solutions will be needed.
What temperature does it melt at? I'm curious to know more failure more.

I'm also curious how the human immune system reacts to it, though I'm sure it's not known yet.

I will. Please write your representative asking to reform NOTA to permit compensation to the estate through a 20% tax on all transactions involving an organ transfer. For the $700k liver transplant, it is not unreasonable that my family receive $140k. For the $20k the OPO receives, it is not unreasonable that my family receive $4k.

Once NOTA is reformed, I will register to provide.
UI redesigns are mostly a waste of time (2019)
Would be sorta nice if someone published it as a browsable archive, preferably with the names replaced (in a way that any identity should be local to the group and time) for privacy, like the mailing list or usenet archives. Maybe we'll be able to find stuff on the internet again.
I haven't been on this platform for long, but I'm feeling it as well. Maybe it coincides with the extreme shifts that have been occurring in real life, or maybe the audience here is just more likely to be very conservative. From my subjective observations, I feel like the average HN user is older and richer than the average tech worker.
What did you do for the enclosure/button?
Yeah. There are sooo many good podcasts (so much so that I am still a “sustaining member” of OPB because of all the value they bring me), but if you turn it on in the car at a random time, you’re going to die of boredom.
Sure, but what happens when linksys sells the megaspeed router that adds the qos bit to every packet?
Yeah, probably just jerry-rigged an extension and plugged V+ into a data line or something like that. Properly wired, it just wouldn't detect the device.

Tvix explicitly targets stable Nix features, so supporting Flakes is a non-goal.

Many users have a poor understanding of what Flakes _actually_ are: They are a bit of UX glue on top of existing Nix features:

- Input/output schemas for `flake.nix`

- A lock file format

- CLI features to work with the two above

It's entirely feasible to build out a Flake user interface & evaluation support on top of Tvix without making it a first-class evaluator feature.
See https://github.com/edolstra/flake-compat for prior art.

The key point of Tvix _not_ having support for Flakes is to not make special snowflake evaluator features that are tied in with it.
"Great for a ton of things" heh
I don't agree, unless you really need to go for SBF style risk management. Predicting the future is hard, it's good to leave a buffer.

They'll deprioritise/QoS its traffic to hell by default. I'd suspect many do so for streaming services already. Which is relatively fair (for those gaming for example) but QoS is such a double-edged sword.
Other differences that stood out to me in visiting Lisbon and the Azores:

(1) European Portuguese usually fully preserves "tu" (including distinctive verb forms), while in Brazilian Portuguese, it's often only used in oblique forms "te" and "ti", or regionally as a subject but often with the third person verb form. For example, in much of Brazil you would see "você tem" (even when speaking to a close friend or family member); in some parts of Brazil, like in Rio Grande do Sul, you would see "tu tem"; and in Portugal you might see "tu tens".

(2) European Portuguese uses "a" + infinitive where Brazilian Portuguese uses the present participle: "estou a fazer" versus "estou fazendo", or "está a falar" versus "está falando". This distinction is very strong and consistent.

(3) Pronunciation can be very different. The first thing you would notice is that the <d> before <e> and <i> is not pronounced as /dʒ/ and the <t> before those letters is not pronounced as /tʃ/. So for example <diabo> 'devil' or <diagonal> 'diagonal' start with /dʒ/ in Brazil but with /d/ in Europe, or <sede> 'thirst' ends with /dʒi/ in Brazil but /dɨ/ in Europe. Or especially the adjective ending <-mente> will be /'mẽtʃi/ in Brazil but /'mẽtɨ/ in Europe.

The word-final vowels in European Portuguese often seem to get dropped entirely (or to be pronounced very softly or briefly), so you might even hear that adverb ending as /mẽt/ (approaching French!!).

I found it fairly challenging as a non-native speaker.

I do not agree.

Companies have always done brand advertising - Marlboro cigarettes didn't truly care about independence, ruggedness or cowboys - they just wanted to be associated with those themes to sell more product - hence the "Marlboro Man". Clint Eastwood, on the other had, seems to personally buy into that image in earnest - so Clint Eastwood doesn't "virtue-signal" about ruggedness and the old west and anyone who accuses[1] him of that is doing so in bad faith.

The culture warriors pretend companies pandering is new, and they term the branding/pandering they don't like "virtue-signalling"

1. He has some pretty strong opinions on who ought to be in westerns that I believe are misguided. My disagreeing wirh him doesn't mean he is insincere/virtue-signaling to the Country-music-listening demographic.
> I imagine it's because we find it morally gross to harvest organs from the healthy poor.

That is correct. The objection is solely from having a high divinity quotient in one's moral foundations causing one to rationalize visceral reactions to an obviously sensible process.

After all, the argument you then propose applies to egg donation, sperm donation, surrogacy, logging, and life insurance. People who might do it for free, might be coerced instead. And yet we have flourishing industries there and life is better for it.
Perhaps, but it's a toothless restriction circumvented by parallel construction. I don't sympathize at all with tax dodgers, but one bit of good they can do for society is to help stop the vast amount of data harvesting and sales in the first place.

Then and only then will it be difficult for government agencies to work around these Constitutional protections.
Here is the tutorial how to recreate an ALOHA cell: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sgRZmpS7HMcZTPfGy3kAxDrq...

The robot arm kits are available commercially: https://www.trossenrobotics.com/aloha-kits

It's my belief that 10x cheaper arms with the same performance are possible, and the only reason they don't exist is because nobody needs them in sufficient quantities.
In principle yes, but it is often far less than ideal. Popular books often have only 2 copies, physical or digital, so you need to wait in the queue for a while before you can get to read it. And that's only if your library carries the book, physical or digital -- there is often a long delay before you can find book in a bookstore and you can find it on the shelve. For various reasons the library might not want to purchase a book so you are on your own.

The Legacy of the Datapoint 2200 Microcomputer
I posted the OP because it is an innovative application of geothermal - an application that demands power without a supply chain and without vulnerable (to military attack) infrastructure such as solar panels or windmills - and also because, given the US military's extremely large budget, the investment could do a lot to develop the technology.

Here are the two Defense Innovation Unit annoucements, which have more detail:

I've used keybr.com to learn the Cyrillic alphabet while learning Russian. I would love to use this to practice typing and learning Russian words and phrases.
The UK did have an (undeployed) launch capability into the 1970s. There's a history of the US making allies prove they can achieve some capability, then selling them the same capability at lower cost. US concerns at the small size of the UK polaris force probably factored into the sale of Trident missiles (which allow many more mirvs).
I am more concerned that rpg weight and range add more requirements beyond "racing drone".
Really wish they'd bring back hard tickets. Over the past 20 years I've simply shown up at a concert or sporting event day-of dozens of times and managed to score good-to-great seats, often for very fair prices, with a success rate that I would estimate around 75-80%.

In the past year, I've tried this a few times and there is simply nobody selling tickets near the venues at all.
This is a lot like an ad. I mean, it even reads like one. If I was the guy selling it, I'd have signed off on all this copy.
As someone who used to do some GIS hacking in an office job[0] before I was a 'Software Developer/engineer' this is super cool.

[0] - Honestly some of the coolest stuff I ever got to do in it's own right. Building tools that could move data between AutoCAD, Microstation, and Google Earth while also importing other bits with metadata from Trimble units[1]. Also it was probably the most I ever used math in my entire career [2], so there's that.

[1] - I wound up finding a custom font maker, and one of our folks made a font library with the symbols, made it easy to write a parser too :D

[2] - One of those PDFs I always seem to wind up having floating on a hard drive is the USGS 'Map Projections, a working manual'. At one point I used it as a reference to implement a C# library to handle transforms between coordinate systems... alas it was internal.
I don't see it. There are far better investments than going after Ticketmaster. As soon as you enter this market you are fighting a giant that has a $1 Billion war chest not to mention very favorable venue holdings that they can immediately use as leverage to destroy you.
> That was back when Democrats talked about class a lot more than they did about race.

Democrats took on race as an issue in the early 1960s, leading the Republican's 'Southern Strategy'. White blue collar workers only shifted to the GOP in the last 10 years, I think, especially for Trump.
Nix the language is untyped; I don't believe Tvix changes this, particularly since it has the goal of supporting all of Nixpkgs.
nope, they would check like 20% to 30% of them. i’ve done work for a few non-profit performance organizations and this seems to be fairly effective in putting a large dent in reseller markets for non-transferable tickets.

resellers really don’t enjoy cc charge backs to pile up on their accounts.

But I am right, and society will turn to my view in time. For now, the rich will harvest the poor for free. But in time, at least they will have to pay them what they want. We will fix this bug.

> But if the network is rigged so that low-tier customers get a bad experience even in low-demand conditions, there's almost certainly some unethical fuckery going on.

On any tiered system with enough adoption there's a strong incentive to make the lower tiers worse to upsell to the higher tiers. It's going to be like the TSA tiers.
Yeah but couldn't seismologists just never say anything about the matter?
Maybe. Despite the number of times I've heard about CRT and how bad it is, and how good it is, I still don't have the foggiest idea what it is. One time, I tried to look it up on the internet. Signal to noise was so bad, I still don't know. I've written off the possibility of ever knowing what it is or understanding anyone who's talking about it.

I’d love to see the default examples seeded from the “best comments” section [1].

Three of examples on the current home page surface some toxic threads (“llm waifus”, “internet of shit”, and “AI Doomers”)… which while controversial aren’t as rich or insightful as say the comments from people that built Rust, the whole earth catalog, or the first x86 chip.

>> So the original proposal was to create 25K jobs over 15+ years, and the fact that they have created "only" 1/5 the jobs in ~5 years with zero subsidies is supposed to be a negative?

How is this obviously not bad!?
Arent most of us technologists here? How is creating 1 job better than creating 5 high paying jobs? Can anyone currently unemployed chime in on whether you prefer having high paying jobs available vs not having them available?
assuming there is a fixed-size pipe owned by a third party which doesn't use statistical multiplexinging, with open access rules to logical providers that charge for things like QOS and transit...then sure. otherwise you're talking about a spherical cow
Exhibit A for why ISPs should be classified as utilities.
It's a cheap example, banks might have been better what with the obviously costly AML/KYC and bookkeeping requirements (not that these are bad, merely that they tend to centralize and concentrate actors so the fixed costs can be amortized more efficiently over a greater number of clients).

Airframe certification is so costly that nobody's making new ones would be the counterargument re Boeing, but like I said they're a cheap example.

More broadly, "regulatory capture" is another driver of the centralizing black hole at the heart of the USG.

Wow. Apple quite literally went out of its way to insert itself into the download process, just so it can collect a tax of 50c per download.

That's beyond taking the piss.
Even if you limit the consideration to foods that can be eaten as-is with zero preparation or tools, grocery stores still BTFO of fast food. Anybody saying that fast food is cheap is deranged. You want fried chicken and you don't have a kitchen? The grocery store will sell you 2x as much for the same price as a KFC. If you want a sandwich, you can make a dozen for the same price as one from a sandwich shop. If you can stomach the thought of eating something green, the produce aisle is cheap as dirt. It's an internet meme to say that some people can't afford fresh produce. Absolute horse shit. I can buy a bag of carrots with the change I find on the ground walking to the store. Produce is the cheapest food there is.

If you think all of that is too boring to tolerate, then scrounge up a can opener and the possibilities explode.

> Oh yeah, CAD for maintenance manuals. The engineering design system, that's a great place for parts lists.

This was always a fun one. We realized right away that the data in the CAD models was superior to the technical drawings we received as PDFs (most of which, awful scans of paper documents). However, only the technical drawings were acceptable for the type-certificate. Our manuals were part of the type cert, so we had to verify everything agains the crappy PDFs anyway.

Emergency responders need higher reliability and priority, even when the network is degraded. That is something that costs more to provide. Those who need such things need to fund it, and not just expect they'll get such service with consumer grade plan/equipment. Police don't drive consumer grade vehicles, they pony up for a vehicle meant for the job.

Several years ago, emergency personnel in california were dismayed when their consumer grade plan didn't give them good service in an emergency. There was a big stink about it, but requiring the provider to eat the cost when the government doesn't pay for what they need is short sighted. Those emergency personnel were unprepared, and they tried to shift blame for their foolhardiness.

It may be possible to give everyone the same emergency grade service for the same price, but that price will be extremely high.

It may be possible to give everyone the same low jitter, low latency experience that gamers want, but the cost will be higher for people who don't care about such things.
Encrypted state files are either done or coming soon. That's going to be a big one, since Hashicorp used that as a selling point for Terraform Cloud.
Don't know about the US, but in Australia at least, mechanics / electricians / welders / plumbers / etc ("tradies" as we call them) generally do quite well financially. Income often above the average for a university graduate. Often more job security. And often significant tax breaks due to being self-employed.

Also, income aside, I don't think that tradies belong in the broad "no college education" group, as almost all of them have a tertiary qualification (apprenticeship + TAFE diploma in Australia, maybe community college is the equivalent in the US?), even though it's not necessarily a bachelor's university degree.
Right. Semver makes no sense. A new major version is just a new package. Model it as one. Want the new package to conflict with the old one? Model the conflict explicitly. Major version numbering is total nonsense that everyone buys into for some reason.
This is how you end up with people that are "book smart" but do not how to create something from vague instructions or connect the dots. The easiest way to weed these people out of the applicant pool is if they link to their github and it is just projects from online courses.
Under Canadian tax laws you can only claim consumables.

"The basis is that you can only claim what you use in the year. No office equipment like computer, desk, chair, printer, lamp is eligible; since you can sell the computer, desk, chairs later on, you cannot claim their expense nor their depreciation."

In the low income neighborhoods near me, in which my sister lives (of her own free will, despite other options) due to chronic cognitive issues, the police are visiting constantly. People in low income neighborhoods call the police all the time. Surveys show that most low income people in dangerous neighborhoods are in favor of more, better policing, not less.
I found more info in this paper: https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/20130012970/downloads/20...

It claims the dust is likely charged by solar radiation, but doesn't say the polarity. The paper mostly talks about using "dielectrophoretic forces"–forces experienced by any dielectric (polarizable) particle in a non-uniform electric field regardless of its net charge.
I haven't hit any real problems with Firefox. Maybe it's the sites I visit. Mostly news, shopping, and tech stuff.

The only real exception I can think of is that Google Meet's audio quality has recently been worse under Firefox than under Safari's. My guess is that the issue is on Google's end (since Firefox used to be fine), or that maybe Safari has access to some special microphone APIs.
