Great work.
I didn't not go into the details, and I like the concept and motivation.

My feedback: approach this problem, solve the problem, then use a technique. Show a repetitive work that someone does, and let the viewer watch machine doing it automatically.

In other words, your aim is right, but knowledge you possess is distracting you to solve it neat and clean.
I would love to subscribe to a syndicate that accumulated micropayments for each article I choose to read, then charged my credit card one lump sum at the end of the month.

I don't want subscriptions to specific newspapers. There are not enough hours in the month to take advantage of all of them.
One of the best IDE's I've ever used. JetBrains IDE's come close, but Visual Studio is a gem.
I'm not American, and I've heard of US Bank.

Besides, just because you don't know US Bank doesnt stop it being a poor personal decision to bank with Chase when you know they give bad rates.
> and that these people can't see obvious optimizations of their roles because of their lack of coding skills or something.

Actually the biggest mistake is thinking technology is an optimisation at all.

Many times it's easier, cheaper and faster to do it manually especially when the magnitude or complexity of the work is low. And once a task becomes repetitive the cognitive load on the worker will be orders of magnitude higher with some app or AI agent.
The recent Patreon debate shoul be enough for this judge to expand his crusade to Apple. A 30% cut for providing nothing in exchange is scandalous.
> The problem with talks of "splitting up Google" is that Google is an ad company

Just barely, 95% of their ads are scams.
This is oversimplifying too much IMO. Obviously the potential reward working at startups is much higher than megacorps, and you can very safely say that people working at startups have a higher risk appetite. However, plenty of people work 9h-12h a day (say, at Meta) in wish to get promoted at rocket-speed and play to "win" the higher TC at megacorps, and it happens often enough that very-driven people do join megacorps.
Yes, because all the people out there buying iPhones do so for the... Emacs keybindings. Obviously. That's why the brand is so popular.
Feedparsing is a classic starter project for people who want to learn a language.
This man is probably one of the very few who have read hundreds or possibly thousands of obscure Wikipedia pages about various species and families of moths. Some of the most obscure Wikipedia pages are about species of moth.
Where can we follow this/you?
MonoDevelop was also really nice. So much so, it looks like they copied it into Visual Studio for Mac???[0]

In any regard, C# has some of the richest tooling I've seen for any programming language, I do wish Microsoft would invest even marginally into MonoDevelop again.

There is no fundamental difference between a compiler, transpiler and interpreter.

The techniques employed are very similar
I’m not. I’m still waiting for it to overtake Google… ;)
I agree that is an obvious missing functionality. It's never affected me because anywhere I've lived I've always ended up with stable prefixes/addresses (both ipv4 and v6) for years, but it's obviously something consumer firewalls need. Fortunately that's a much easier problem to fix (replace or update the one device) than trying to get everyone to use ipv6 in the first place.
I should have written less when compared to US. Obviously I did not mean Somalia and I think you know that. But since you didn’t provide a counter point, I’ll just consider you to be trolling until you provide a serious response.
One more Jacob Collier mention: also generally releases albums using just intonation, I think, and especially does hand-tuning of thirds etc. I like his description of having to "monkey swing" when an e.g. flattened third needs to become a new root note.
> knowledge of good and evil

This translation shouldn't necessarily be taken to mean solely awareness of morality. The knowledge of good and evil, being opposites, would in fact include the knowledge of everything. It's a literary device, like the phrases day and night or heaven and earth.
Borland sold by mail order for $99, at a time when "respectable, business-class software" was only sold in stores or direct, and for $299 or more. dBase sold for $699, as I recall.

I went to a talk by Philippe Kahn in the early 80's, and he was very much a rebel for going so much against conventional wisdom.
It comes across as like linktree but with some nicer features. Linktree+ on steroids.
You can offline transpile anything to JS to later run in the browser, TS isn't special in this way.

With PyScript you can see and modify the actual code in your browser, just like vanilla JS.
You're right, I'm I'll-informed and make bad financial decisions, I'm sorry.
Important to me, faster on compilation than a 7950x (if you use a Linux desktop). Much faster, if you jump one generation, than the 5950x. While using less power (less fan noise while coding).

It doesn't seem to be a good gaming chip (get an X3D),
but it's a good chip for coding.

I do think memory bandwith might hold it back, Halo Strix is rumored to have double the memory bandwidth, we'll see how that works for coding.
Why People Are Breaking Open Their Mounjaro Pens
this is a beautiful explanation! Thank you!
As an asshole, but at least an honest one, I would do the same. So I expect that they are being an asshole rather than following the spirit of the law.

Do you have map of all carjacking locations? Do you maintain it by teaching each individual news story?
If you anticipate that this will happen when you open task manager, possibly because it has happened before, you start chanting in German “watch me, I’m about to pull a trick 17!” before opening task manager, having ensured that the whole room is paying attention whether you succeed. When people ask how you knew or why it worked you just shrug smugly to hide the fact that you don’t actually now, and let everybody bask in your aura.
First thing I tried was a small lambda function and it worked! Then I tried some Fibonacci with tail recursion and surprisingly that worked too. I'm impressed, because often when people reimplement the Python interpreter they get those wrong.
> but shutting yourself off to the what's happening in the world is somehow worse

How?

Russia's doing something stupid in Ukraine. People in the middle east are killing each other again. The Olympics just happened in France. Republicans are running nutjobs for office again. Sweet, I'm up to date in 15 seconds. I can go back to reading a book or playing guitar or cooking dinner or weeding my garden or arguing on HN.

How is this worse than spending 2 hours reading into all the details of the stuff I just mentioned, and then not having any time left over to do the things that actually make my life worth living?
I often wonder where the all-caps 'MAC' originated.
As many people have said, it's only an interesting question if you don't have the context of Apple market share in the PC market, which spent over two decades between 1980 and the early 2000s in a state of almost constant decline.

To me, that's the more interesting part here. Yes, everyone knows Apple is huge today, but many people apparently don't know how far from inevitable that was. If you had asked me in 2000 who would be the bigger company in 2024: Apple, Blockbuster, Toys "R" Us, or Enron, I'm not sure how I would have answered except that I'm positive I wouldn't have said Apple.
100% I hate the videofication of the internet. So much content is locked behind a video that is vastly more difficult to pull detail out of and search and just text. Videos are a great supplement to most text, but rarely do they make a good primary source of information.
Well you see rocket man bad, no means are unjust when it comes to his diminishment
You'd be a fool to put all your eggs in this basket:

What a delightful typo is 'understoond'.
Show HN: If site search just worked
Hi, I built SiteSearchr.com because I was tired of wasting time jumping between multiple tabs and sites when searching for specific information or comparing products. SiteSearchr lets you search several websites simultaneously, all from a single page. It's simple, but it saves a ton of time and effort.

Would love any feedback or suggestions you might have, or maybe you think it's utterly pointless...don't hold back!

Thanks guys x
I'll add onto this a complaint I have that I don't see mentioned often. News articles always cover the first half of a story when it's hot and never follow up. It's obnoxious if you have an attention span longer than whatever is happening at the exact moment.
I tend to hit reply too early. That bad habit is completely unrelated to how concerned I am with your opinion.

I can't tell from your wording if you'd tell me to go outside if I didn't have that habit. But if you would, isn't that a generic putdown for responding to anything you say? My piece of advice is if you ever find yourself writing a comment that isn't worth responding to, the appropriate action is to not post it.
The performance and user experience of a native binary is on a whole other level.
I am trying to better assess this number as part of an arXiv paper I am putting together. Maybe even this weekend!

RSS/podcast feed polling is a load for which Apple/Amazon/Spotify/Podbean are currently wasting 99%+ of the network and CPU bandwidth for, and thus money and carbon emissions. Many of the creators have limited budgets, and reaching Net Zero is not going to happen by ignoring really easy cases such as this, albeit small in the overall scheme of things.
If you seek good coverage, you undoubtedly would be better off moving that against the public interface.

"private" tests are more for like when you're having trouble figuring out an edge case failure and want to narrow it down to a specific helper function to aid debugging or if you need help coming up with the right design for an internal function. As before, we're talking exceptional circumstances. Rarely would you need such a thing. But if it helps, no need to fear it.

Either way, I'm not sure you would be looking for good coverage, only the bare necessities to reach the goal. Once settled, the tests are disposable. Organizing your project into internal libraries in case you encounter a debugging problem in need of assistance, for example, is extreme overkill.
I think it's more so that people aren't interested. If you trained a neural network to classify species using photos taken through a binocular microscope, I'm sure you could match human performance. If you used hyperspectral photos you could achieve superhuman performance.
Is BoxLang the Same as Adobe ColdFusion or Lucee? [video]
Is this related to what almost killed CollegeHumor/Dropout? IIRC facebook were lying to them about how well their facebook videos were performing, so they hired a large team based on that ad revenue. When them + advertisers found out that facebook were lying, they had to let go almost everyone apart from a skeleton crew.
Waveshare ESP32-S3-Zerom WiFi and BLE IoT Module with USB-C, Up to 32 GPIOs
I thought SUSE had a desktop version. They used to sell it at places like walmart back when you'd get linux on cd/dvd media, but its been a long time since I've seen that.
There is also stuff like PopOS that comes on System76 computers or PureOS for Purism/Librem computers.
They also recently raised prices a ton and changed the menu.

[edit] to put some numbers on it: just the other day I saw one attached to a gas station where just about any foot long was $13+. Six-inchers? $10!!!

I just today happened to go to a fairly fancy sandwich place. Their sandwiches were $13-15, at least as much eating as a foot long from subway, and came with two sides. Like, it was enough food for two people, really, and good. I guarantee their ingredient costs are 3x Subway’s.

Their prices are insanely out of wack with reality. A $5 foot long may not be in the cards anymore, given actual inflation on their costs, but they can’t charge entire-meal-with-very-good sandwich prices for a much shittier sandwich all on its own, and not expect a drop in sales.
-> ideally yes, but gets very difficult to practice rotation in reality.

employee's perspective: good engineers want to specialise, to gain deeper knowledge, hence resist it (Tradeoff: Expertise vs Breadth)

management's perspective: rotation doesn't work as most companies operate in resource + time crunch, ain't viable to have everyone start from 0 and work on different services (Tradeoff: Speed vs Sustainability)
Old enough to remember Cronkite or MacNeil Lehrer - there was a time with more facts less ideology. Ever since the news became a profit center it just isn't as useful. One literally has to follow double digit numbers of outlets to get a reasonable picture of reality. It is simply too costly. The News rooms have become their own undoing.
Even if it has more permissions than a normal app, if you have the password and unrestricted local access to the phone you can already put it in debugging mode and connect to it via adb.
Presumably mongolian basket weaving forum, but it lately mandates phoneposting, so take it with a grain of salt.
Hurrah! I have those listed in likely order of resource/climate impact, so if I could nudge you towards considering (1) sooner then even bettererer! B^>
I think you're maybe missing the main motivation, which is that "correctly tuned" overtones are in nature, in physics, in all sounds -- they aren't a social construct, unlike everything else about music. I think the argument from JI advocates is that our body's perception knows very well what a justly-tuned chord sounds like, etc.
The Deflation of Software
So is your goal here to see how many times you can make bigoted claims without evidence before someone comments on your very name being "strawman"?
If you had legally purchased DVDs and blu rays during mega-upload's time, and hadn't tried to decrypt them for backup purposes (thus circumventing copyright measures, also using tools developed mostly by "outlaws"), those discs would now be suffering from bitrot and becoming unplayable.

But now we're moving away from physical media, we're fast moving to a world where all you can even "own" legally is a DRM laden copy that can be revoked at any moment by the digital store front providing it. Your windows 11 upgrade requires hardware TPM (a form of hardware DRM that everyone used to really fear) chip support to even install.

And this seems to be the world the hacker news what and tech crowd really wants. I personally miss the old mid 2000's slashdot days when everyone knew better. I haven't changed -- they changed.
No? They said all as in all, it sounds like.
Can confirm, the install process is ridiculously over complicated...
and screw over franchise owners resulting in many locations opting out of promos.

But yes, charging 12 bucks for something that was 5 bucks a few years ago is the reason people are not visiting. And from the article franchise owners are complaining about promo prices at 7 dollars. Sounds like a mix of really bad business owners all around.
It's a catchy name, but it really comes down to, well, not drinking your own Kool Aid. :->

The project and risk management literature have plentiful examples of this sort of thinking, including performing post mortems now, before starting anything: "Assume we are 2 years out and everything failed: What went wrong? How did we fail? Why?"

One of the things I like best about my current position is that the colleague I work most closely with (he's head of development, I'm a senior technical contributor sort of thing (it varies by project/week/day/need)) do this all the time, pretty much whenever one of us proposes a change or a new feature.

We listen to the other, make sure we understand, then we critique, find flaws, consider gotchas, but reasonably, not pathologically.

It's at the point where we will each sometimes start critiquing our own ideas, with the other defending.

It helps our work immensely.
There should be an intermediate syndicate that charges me micropayments for every article I choose to read, then charges one lump sum to my credit card at the end of the month. And also remits payment to each newspaper or Website.
Well conflating yoga mats with their bread doesn't entice customers to their stores[1](to be fair its a natural occurring ingredient but it grossed alot of people out). Plus there is a slew of amazing sandwich shops right now - Jimmy Johns, Jersey Mikes and Firehouse subs. I would spend a little more and not eat something that tastes like it was grown in a vat(bread).

Stop making shitty food?
The rock formation identified is at the surface throughout the Orkney Islands.
The River Avon seems to be at least close to navigable by a barge carrying a 5m long stone, requiring less than a mile of transport across land to Stonehenge.
So it doesn't seem to require extremely implausible means to get it there.
As to why -- perhaps the Stonehenge civilization came from Orkney originally, bringing their sacred stone with them? Or perhaps Orkney was a sort of Rivendell back then -- it's easier to defend as an isolated island group. You might go get a big stone from the monks there to establish the authenticity of your satellite colony.
If your argument is "Browsers are subsidized by advertising driving up the cost of goods," I don't think I disagree but I don't think the consequence of stopping that model is the cost of good goes down.

Advertising is driven by competition; in the absence of a browser-subsidy flow for that money, the ads will still be there and prices won't go down. The ads will flow through other channels. Then we get higher cost of goods and no zero-cost browser, which seems strictly worse?
Are there newspapers that:

1. Don't dox private individuals for no good reason (rules out NYT, Washington Post, and Forbes)

2. Have ethical business practices around a subscriptions, such as letting you cancel easily? (Rules out the thousands of local papers owned by USA Today)

3. Have basic fact-checking (rules out...almost everything?)

ProPublica seems like the best, especially since I consider investigative journalism extremely important. I've heard good things about Bloomberg, but it's extremely expensive. The Atlantic and The Economist have traditionally had pretty good content, and I at least haven't noticed them violating basic journalistic or business ethics.
I love the idea of a /Now page. I just wished there was a way to make it only accessible to people I care about enough to share these. Or a way to have certain sections private unless you are a close friend for an example.
ICBMs themselves do not emit that kind of pollution (in any important amount).

But nuclear explosions do.
> cost varying inversely with how compelled someone feels to say something.

How compelled someone feels to say something has little or nothing to do with how reliable what they are saying is.

> The additional 45M in my example

Where is that in your example?

> buys you a lot of reporters

Buying reporters is not the same as buying reliability.
I will never get over the fact that they used a now-convicted pedophile as their spokesperson for fifteen years. I literally cannot even see the Subway logo without thinking of despicable Subway Jared. No way I will ever eat their food again.
I keep up with the news, but I can see the point OP made.

The average Johnny McOfficeWorker in the West is unaffected by and has no control over the conflicts, political struggles, or general bad stuff happening halfway around the world. Personal circumstances aside (i.e., a family member in a conflict area), the only reasons a typical person even cares are 1) feeling fulfilled by being an informed voter, and 2) entertainment.

And unfortunately, I suspect more people care about the entertainment value than they do the civic value.

I thought this was an interesting take. On the one hand it's peak AI hype hysteria... and part of the thesis feels like it could argue for the opposite: democratization of software development means more software...

> The fact Hacker News of all places is going to bat for the RIAA and US Industrial Complex leaves me disappointed.

The real trend on HN is low-effort comments like this that generalize about HN. How about making an actual argument defending Kim Dotcom?

> Top comment reads something like "Yea but maybe its time to call it quits" ... Shame.

But ... what happens to your point when your comment becomes top-voted like it is now? Is HN redeemed because apparently everybody on HN agrees with you that HN is terrible?

> US Industrial Complex

At this point I wish Eisenhower hadn't coined the famous phrase. Everything gets called some variation of Foo/Bar Industrial Complex which sounds smart and describes nothing.

>And going into the 2000s, I knew plenty of people with an iPod, but no Mac.

Which took some doing as iPods were all Firewire up until ~2004 when Apple transitioned to USB.
Firewire was pretty unusual in the PC ecosystem - usually requiring purchasing a PCI card.
I actually see a lot of comments, frequently, on this site pretending to hate surveillance capitalism and sticking up their noses at adtech, at every turn, particularly when used by some tiny little niche website that's just barely scraping by. This despite, presumably, many of these same people working for some of the biggest adsludge-pumping companies on the planet.
