Did you read that article or just the title? Because the article isn't focused on disproving any facts of the "big sugar bad" side but rather saying the facts as they stand are being unfairly characterized.

The article is well written, and I WOULD recommend it for anyone interest in this topic. But ultimately I'd just point to the same facts presented in the article, and you determine if we're being mean to the sugar industry or fair.

The result is the same either way, regardless of who gets the blame.

This does sound interesting, but it's harder to do this with a junior heavy team. While there are certainly juniors who can get things done with minimal direction, there are also those that do need to be taught how to communicate and collaborate effectively, and especially how to work on things that matter.

In that case, it's hard to move to a manager of one, as some people have to support more than a single mentee. And they end up being consumed by their "managerial" work, i.e. being a manager instead of an IC.

But, this does open the question: can you build a team structure from the ground up, even a large one, where you've got managers of one only, but have a reasonable seniority structure (eg. a software engineer with 2 yoe could manage someone with 6 months or less).

> Who knows what other invisible magic is out there from past civilizations

Whenever people surmise that maybe past civilizations were high tech but we just don’t see evidence - we absolutely would see evidence, because the reason we have a high tech civilization is that there are enough humans to have one. Think about the Sumerians - their civilization by some measures lasted for nearly 4000 years, BUT at any given time there were never more than perhaps half a million people living. And a typical city would have had a few thousand people (a huge one like Babylon, maybe 100k).

That kind of population isn’t building integrated circuits. It’s big enough to support enough copper merchants that some of them are terrible, but that’s about all.

As far as I know, Media Matters never represented that n% of major advertisers' ads were shown next to racist content, just that some ads were, and that seems undisputed. I see it as similar to a tabloid publishing a picture of someone breaking the law: "we never said you do that most nights, just that you did on least this one occasion".

It is sad, but it is what it is. If you end up in a position where you don't have kids or close family, friends, or social workers that visit you, you could very well end up laying there until the stench affects your neighbors, bills go unpaid, or similar stuff.

In this day and age, many people - myself included - have bills on auto pay. So if money comes in, bills get paid, and no one knows you, it could take months to years before someone discovers you.

Going to skip the analogy, because everyone has tortured it sufficiently already.

This is a good point. The comment section implicitly argues for novelty because it seeks a dopamine hit for something new -- after all, that's what people are looking for when they browse an aggregator! However, novel isn't everything even if you get more Internet points for it.

Is it original to execute something really well? Some would say yes, and some would say no. Lots of software that has had an outsized impact started out as very similar to other things, with "just" some improvements here and there. And I guarantee you there were over-eager commenters telling people to not be excited because it isn't new enough to them.

This isn't arguing for toxic positivity, either. Just a recognition that the bored/cynical users need for novelty is not something that everything listed on the Internet has to fill.
Now we're talking! The experience of casting has recently become a bigger headache for me than ever. Last month, I made a comment on HN about how the original Chromecast was great and that I'm disappointed in the state of the current Chromecast devices; a lot of people seem to agree with this. I've also had trouble with Airplay since streaming from Quicktime seems to only support h264, and even that hasn't really worked for me even though my 1st gen Chromecast worked great before my TCL television fried it.

Casting video should be simple, straight forward, and open. Glad to see there's projects like this trying to solve this problem rather than leaving it up to advertising firms.
There are probably some exposure-based biases at play here. Developers deal with privacy every day as a matter of their hobby/profession. Salience leads them to see privacy issues everywhere and pervasive incentives for antagonistic actors even when, given the billions of data transactions occurring across the untold millions of applications and servers, they are statistically rare. The less inclined technologically only hear about the big events and such issues quickly fade from their memory, especially when they don’t truly understand the scope or details of the problem, and therefore tend to feel like nothing bad can happen to them. Data leaks, fraud and identify theft are things that happen to _other people_, and they can trade in their data casually and carefree.

Hey, it's Lucky. Sorry for disappearing on you guys, but I've returned bearing gifts. This is my first project in Godot 4.3, called Pocket C. It's a small collection of touch-based controllers for mobile devices, which I think are a great starting point for building mobile SL touch-based games.

In this project, there are three demos included: a first-person demo, a third-person demo, and a top-down demo. These demos are inspired by popular mobile games like PUBG, Call of Duty Mobile, and League of Legends: Wild Rift. All these controllers are based on a joystick-touchpad combination, where the joystick is on the left side and a touchpad is on the right side. This layout is commonly used in many viable mobile games today, and it's at the core of all these demos.

We'll run through the code and the project so you can get started on making your own mobile games. All the source code and assets are included in the video description, along with a GitHub repository link. There's also a built APK, so if you want to test it on your mobile device, it's available there as well.
I guess they were aware how terrible and unpopular injections are for patients. These weren't the days of micro needles...
I think the underrated aspect of the downfall is just how much tech was for the lack of a better word commoditized. I used to be the target audience, but even I don't really care that much anymore about all the details -- my last PC was built over 10 years ago, and when my laptop dies I will again buy a laptop that is the best combination of performance and hassle free. And the new generation that still cared never peeked beyond YouTube, which is definitely true.

It's actually crazy how fast new media became old media.

> You're assuming that the interests of the state are aligned with the interests of the people

No, I don’t assume that. I am very well aware that the reality is much more complex.

Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea are using Twitter very effectively to divide people in targeted countries. From what I see, Musk is using free speech to effectively help these states achieve their goals. And personally, I don't know yet why he is doing that.

Twitter is no longer an answer to fighting authoritarianism. It was in the previous decade, but that time is gone now.

No more positive change is driven by the Twitter and similar platforms, it is more of divisive and destructive propaganda machine.
This is pretty neat! I am using it, and it does scratch an itch I had as well. So simple!

What would the risk of using it be? Will it be inherited from age itself, or something else?

If you're willing to chat on the technical details of that notebook, we'd love to. Of course, if you're hoping to build it one day and don't feel comfortable sharing, understand. If yes, it's founders@getpatchwork.io :)

We are definitely eyeing up what can be done when you control the log strings and the rest of the payload. And along the lines of what you say, our first step would be to see how much ClickHouse could squeeze that, and then see what other clever compression could be added in advance.

Anyone crushing it in the code analysis and refactoring space is a challenger. I think for now our sense is that the full-blown agentic SWE tools have bitten off more than they can chew and aren't viewed as credible just yet. However there are people out there taking a focused, use-case-specific approach (like us) who are building impressive things. komment.ai is one that springs to mind. SonarQube looks interesting - thanks for flagging.

In terms of logging stack players, we're hoping some could be friend rather than foe, at least to begin with. We thought ClickHouse might see unstructured logs as an unlock for their customers / GTM motion. However, they have invested a lot in their query-time materialisation tech, which they said their log storage customers love. Expensive, in practice, I suspect. Grafana actually pinged me yesterday.

This makes me incredibly sad. Nothing lasts forever, but AT has been a part of my life since it launched, when I was a teen obsessed with computers. I didn't feel so sad when Slashdot or The Inquirer declined, maybe because they were in decline over a long period. But AT was special, they only declined in review frequency, not quality.

Debunking of the bug story as etymological folklore has been going on since at least 1984. Every few years there's another article about it (which is good for the daily 10,000.) The first appears to have been in Byte magazine and then IEEE Annals of the History of Computing in 1984.
Followed by American Speech in 1987 and again in IEEE Annals of the History of Computing in 1998.

Show HN: Instagram style note taking, encrypted
I like the Instagram style, photos at top, words below them, it's a good way to take quick notes to record what's happening.

Google Keep is like this, but their editor is very basic, and everything is saved in plain text in Google's server.

So I created notenote.cc, an Instagram style note taking app, and everything is encrypted on your device before sending to server.

Take unlimited text notes for free, and pay only $1.99 / month to attach photos and short videos.

JSX can become valid, standardized ECMAScript syntax.

But first we need a valid syntactic sugar transformation, which I propose here.

Then we need to implement it in things like babel[0] bun[1] and deno[2].

Then, frameworks would adopt it as an optional alternative implementation.

Eventually, it could gain widespread support and become standardized.

This article talks about using squid. I wouldn't recommend Squid for this, as they're understaffed and took years to fix critical vulnerabilities I found[0].

Using ssh-over-https with ssh -R works wonders everywhere though. You could probably even make the ssh packets look like html so it's opaque to a mitm-proxy too.

The sort of firewalls this post is discussing are close to snake oil imo. Sure they help with automated script kiddie attacks and whatnot, but yes, if you control both ends, it's nearly always possible to connect back.

This seems like a cool project.

This is meant as additional information not criticism. I skimmed the transcript really fast so if this is in there and I missed it, please correct me, but two things I think are helpful for people creating projects like this to be aware of:

- This video seems to combine the concepts of lexing and parsing. It is usually beneficial to separate these two steps and lex the input into tokens before passing to the parser.

- Go actually has a pure Go implementation of Yacc in the toolset and I've used it in several projects to make parses. Dealing with the Yacc file is often much easier than dealing with code directly since it takes care of writing the actual parser. There is a lot of boiler plate that goes into parsers that when you use Yacc it "just works".

Edit: there are also some tools for writing parsers in Lex/Flex like syntax (re2c comes to mind) but I've found hand writing lexers to be effective in Go if your language doesn't have many different types of tokens.

This is very true. Failing to recognize the role emotions play in ourselves and other people is the source of many conflicts and misunderstandings. What motivates us and drives our actions and responses to things is not something that can be easily observed, especially in ourselves. When people describe their preferences they are often just describing what is in fact the rationalization for their emotionally driven choices.
