> Am I sitting on some regulatory board? What this got to do with me

Well, I asked a simple question: Should matt have such a veto power over what the community wants? What do you think? Should he?

> if I had to propose anything it'd be form a board from all major contributors to solve this conflict

Ignoring for a moment that matt is banning contributors, rather than caring what they want: What about what the wordpress community wants? They are the most important and most numerous stakeholders here.

> No, Matt not only embraced them, he supported and invested in them for years, before you and "the community" even heard about them. He was the one there from the very beginning.

No, the community has embraced WPEngine and their contributions to the community and to Automattic's success. So who specifically are you speaking of, who merely "tolerated" WPEngine?
I think it depends on how the question is constructed:
- I want to do X, how do I do it?
- I was thinking of doing X to achieve Y, wonder if that's a good idea?

Sometimes, I really want to do X, I know it may be questionable, I know the safest is "probably don't want to do it", and yet, that's not someone else's (or LLMs) business, I know exactly what I want to do, and I'm asking if anyone knows HOW, not IF.

So IMO it's not a flaw, it's a very useful feature, and I really do hope LLMs stay that way.
Is there a searchable text version of this resource?
There are also the ones who were never good at it and use it as badge of honor like stolen valor.

Because no one has means to validate what actually they did.

Errol Musk (his dad) invested $28,000 in zip2, about twice what a new car cost. This is hardly out of reach for middle class people.

Musk was the richest man in the world when he acquired x.com. He didn't need family connections for that.
I was a 'sysop' in 1983. Had I known BBS would still be discussed today I would've snagged a video recorder and took video. It was a TRS-80 Model III with two floppies with an auto-answer 300 baud MODEM. After business hours only.

Ask HN: What would you do different if you were rewriting Firefox from scratch?
I saw a similar question about Emacs, and since Firefox has been receiving some criticism lately, I thought it would be interesting to see how HN thinks Firefox could improve.
Ask HN: Need recommendation for time sheet app for a small/medium non-profit
This is a student-lead non-profit, and it's grown past simple spreadsheets.

Usecase: Students tutor other students, and for auditing and error-detection purposes, both the tutor and the tutee must log times and submit them. This is about 80-120 students total, depending on the year.

A separate third party--possibly a parent of the students--would then approve. So that's another 50-60 users.

A cost of low-price--it's donation run--and long-term maintainability is what I'm looking for here, which probably isn't likely; I'd love if I didn't have to administer anything at all.

Second best is not requiring deep tech and IT knowledge to maintain long-term, because I'd rather hand this off and not code at all. So some minimal custom-coding to fill-in the gaps is okay.

Finally: Because this is student-lead and run, cost is a factor; so the per user costs aren't feasible. Right now, I can't see a way around at least custom hosting on something like Digital Ocean.
Hey everyone! I’m Arthur, and I built Bibliou because I wanted a space where book lovers like me could easily share their reading experiences with others. I’m passionate about reading and community-building, so I thought—why not combine the two? If you get a chance to explore the platform, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Any feedback on how to make it better would be awesome! Thanks!
I used curl before that.
But I can see how curl will be intimidating for non-engineers.

They kept the permalink afaik, which is probably still likely to cause confusion in the marketplace and may still be a trademark issue.

Without knowing this drama, if I found and clicked an ACF link on a 2 year old Reddit post and ended up at Secure Custom Fields, I’m not sure I’d know it wasn’t by the ACF folks. Just their branding for the v2 or whatever. I think customers have a reasonable expectation that permalinks won’t take them to unrelated products.

This is for "First-Line Supervisors of Construction Trades and Extraction Workers." Does this represent the "average tradesperson" at age 40?

If we dig into the BLS numbers for the people doing the work in what HN tends to talk about as trade workers:

Plumber - median $61,550 per year [1]
HVAC tech - median $57,300 per year [2]
Electrician - median $61,590 per year [3]
Framer(Carpenter) - median $56,350 per year [4]
Bricklayer(Mason) - median $53,010 per year[5]
Software engineer - median $130,160 per year [6]

Of course, these are national numbers. We could pick and choose geographical areas to bump up the averages.

It isn't immediately obvious to me what data source could give us a good answer to net worth by age for any of these careers. That is why I asked if you had a reference for it. It's even murkier when looking for data on when someone in the trades buys a house on average.

My intuition (and I definitely don't mind being proved wrong) is that high earning, high-ish net worth trade workers is a story we want very much want to be true. But I just don't think it is, especially if we are talking about the average case.

That command works well and accomplishes some of what rincr what built to solve. For example, when I mention browse-ability, I mean on the backup host without any dependencies so I can use standard file tools and browsers.

I also needed both "pull" (backup remote files) and "push" (backup local files) backup features and if I'm not mistaken restic still only supports the "push" model.

Is it really very entertaining though?

I use instagram as a tool to follow certain parties and tattoo shops (for announcements of visiting artists). Since about a year they've spammed their 'reels' on me and make it much harder to avoid them. But every time I look at them it's the same brainless crap as the tiktok-branded videos that people send on to me via whatsapp or telegram.

I don't really understand how people are being captivated by this. It's all so hollow, shallow and brainless.

Youtube is no better. Only full of corporate marketing drones like marcus brownlee and linus tech tips. All very hollow, sponsor-ridden and glossy. The only one I appreciate is dave from eevblog but he posts pretty rarely these days so I never really watch youtube anymore.
>I do still somewhat often (maybe every few weeks) enjoy having 1 or 2 Heineken 0.0's.

All of these tickets are only for local/regional trains, not the faster/long-distance trains. You can get from one end of the country to another by changing trains a few time, but e.g. getting from Munich to Berlin would be 6h (direct) with fast trains and 10+ h (changing 3 times) with the regional ones.

The subscription model is intentional - this isn't meant to help tourists or to be bought when you need it, it's meant to make sure people have already pre-paid the cost when making a decision whether to take a train or a car (by being cheap enough that people subscribe even if they don't use it all the time).
> Is there any explanation where this could actually be considered realistic that I’m not thinking of?

You could record the full trip, and then speed the record up. What the point to watch at thousand years of the record with slowly changing picture, if you can watch it in a few minutes.
The use of CODE/;CODE/;ENCODE for defining words in lisp is great. I can see myself using this a good amount especially if I can get it playing well with Tk either through the FFI or lTk/nodgui.
We could have an “organic” search engine which only positions itself for “normal” webpages, and defines normal. For example, the webpage should have a title and max 4 paragraphs, on the topic, and shouldn’t include storytelling. Technical problem-answer oriented pages should only contain various aspects of the problem, but no storytelling either. Fewer phrases to index, more density of keywords, easier to index. And maybe we should come back to the rules of 1. speed 2. content being in the original HTML 3. the react hydration shouldn’t dilute the HTML.

It doesn’t matter what its artificially-defined rules are good. But people would enjoy going there better than on Google, because you’d find the organic pages.

It doesn’t matter that Google would also index them. It’s like the Panamax, it defines rules but others can use those rules to.
I worked on the problem of deserializing a response that can have different models in it? Generally, It's not the a problem with Ktor; the serialization library is responsible for that. In our case, we use kotlinx.serialization library for that. I found the solution in the official documentation.
As others have said, you're correct. But one reason for doing this, beyond just looking cool, is to give a visual cue for motion. The aim isn't primarily to look realistic, but to make it as easy as possible to interpret the outputs. Motion cues help with this.

As an example, if you're watching an airshow against a clear blue sky, especially filmed with a long lens where you can't see the ground, it is very hard to understand what's actually happening because you can only see attitude changes, but not the velocity vector. Add just a few clouds in the background and the impression is very different.
It is a bit interesting and telling though how no one ever says they went sober and regretted it, or an ex-teetotaller saying they picked up drinking and it was the best decision they ever made and wish they did it sooner.... but you almost always hear the inverse of these stories in such threads.

That was gone at a time when Lisp Machines were commercialized (81/82). Emacs there was called Zmacs and was written in Lisp. Maclisp was replaced by Lisp Machine Lisp / ZetaLisp / Common Lisp. UNIX was then a thing.

Open Genera in the early 90s then ran on OSF/1 UNIX (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSF/1 , renamed to Digital UNIX) on DEC Alpha. OSF meant Open Software Foundation ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Software_Foundation ), a group propagating "open standards" for UNIX.

The issue of concern at the moment is that the statement you led off with above ("They got along just fine during that time period") was plainly untenable -- and not only untenable, but basically an outright inversion of what was happening at the time -- by any reading of the conflict, no matter how one might view its broader causes.

There's nothing in the least controversial in regard to this point; it's just basic history -- and certainly nothing provocative in pointing it out:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercommunal_conflict_in_Mand...

It's very much as if you had just said "Protestants and Catholics got along just fine in Northern Ireland during The Troubles", and then went on to extrapolate and moralize further about that conflict -- in terms of measured statistics and Bayesian analysis, no less.

Sometimes even a simple approach can work. On Apollo they developed (at the time cutting-edge) passive RC filter networks, to avoid the control system "exciting" the rocket at frequencies of the slosh/bend/torsion modes.

Nice. Using `.gitignore` would simplify my Restic, Borg/Borgmatic, and Rsync-based backup scripts/configs. (Right now, I end up duplicating the same information in a few places, not very well.)
> I am not sure why the Free Tibet movement died out in America and Europe

Realism. Movements without a realistic goal tend to become quite niche, unless there's another hook to keep them going. With the rise of China as an economic and nuclear power, and one with no interest in even talking about Tibet as something other than a part of their empire, a populist movement to pressure politicians to "Free Tibet" is about as useful as a populist movement to get politicians to conquer the concept of entropy.

People, even very passionate and politically active people, moved on to causes with at least some hope, or at least the perception of hope.

Curiously, GNU was born in that era, to give the Unix users the freedom from ITS, Maclisp, Emacs and the rest of the projects from MIT.

Instead of having slow-ish boot times in a Lisp machine, GNU's plan was to put several memory-protected concurrent interpreters under Unix, giving the user far more power by default with GNU/Hurd against a common Unix users. WIth namespaces, for instance, you could forget about suid and/or needing group perms to mount a device or access different media and soundcards.

High energy gammas have a relatively low cross section, most are going to pass right through the chip. If you add a too little shielding, or don’t layer shielding appropriately you are going to stop more gammas but produce lower energy x-rays from the shielding, which have a higher cross section, potentially increasing your chip dose.
The problem with polling is getting a representative sample of the target population, which this doesn't address any of the problems with, and there is no IP-based geolocation method that is accurate enough to reliably place a user in a particular congressional district even if they aren't doing something like using a VPN. There’s a couple major markets where it will probably be unreliable as to state, as well as Congressional district.

I must say though "right on its launch tower" is fun and all...

but things would have to get pretty extreme in the "routine" dimension for that to be very useful. If there are 20 first stages and 5 land/launch towers, for a first stage that only spends an hour in flight in between inspections.... well are you going to keep them parked on a scarce launch tower for maintenance? The towers with fill/launch infrastructure (such as reinforced concrete, fuel tanks, cold filling system, deluge water system) become the bottleneck. It's more likely then that the 1st stage lands, is safed, then is taken a couple hundred yards away for inspection and maintenance while the next in line is moved to be stacked for the next launch. The inspection / maintenance would have to be truly minimal (think airliner) to keep it right there on its own relaunch tower.

"No landing gear" is more key, compared to Falcon 9 - because of the effort toward minimal launch cost.
As soon as the election is done, you’ll have to wait 3.999 years for the next big announcement. “Sorry it’s a complex file, we had to interview many people, but this time, this time we’ll get them. If you give us the funding.” It’s sad how the issues that are the most popular with the population are also the ones that are the most useful to postpone towards the end of the election cycle, so that you get reelected. (And it works both ways, whatever the party, on various topics).
> Second stage reuse seems the far more challenging problem.

Sure, SpaceX has been doing first stage reuse for a long time now. But they have demonstrated landing the second stage successfully at sea twice now with the same sort of smoothness that they demonstrated once for the booster before they then caught the booster on the first real try.

A partial list of unbelievably hard things that SpaceX has so far made seem easy:

- building a rocket from scratch
- landing Falcon 9 boosters
- landing Falcon 9 boosters *reliably*
- 3x weekly launch cadence (Falcon)
- the bellyflop manoeuver
- mass manufacturing(!) a rocket engine
- catching the booster
- simulated landings of the ship

Catching the booster is really just like landing a Falcon 9 booster w/o legs, but clearly much harder.

Anyways, if they can do all those things then it's pretty clear that they can catch-land the ship.

There's still a huge list of crazy-difficult things that SpaceX say they want to do that are hard to believe are possible, except for the fact that SpaceX has already done so many unbelievably difficult things already.
