> IMO the best way to handle stylistic choices (if at all) is to have the reviewer just adjust it themselves.

How does that inform the PR author that they failed to pay attention to a relevant detail, and more importantly contribute to not make it again?

If there is no feedback, problems will persist.

Nit comments add noise and failures to comply with a style guide is always a distraction on a PR, but that does not mean style guide violations should be ignored. It means that your team must work their way into making them a non-issue.

This means establishing an objective and usable set of rules and guidelines, and enforce them programmatically with a linter, not turning a blind eye to style violations.
Hmmm. The Titanic had sixteen watertight compartments.

Did the pebble-bed reactor's "commercial-scale inherent safety" also pass a test with an compromised container, which would admit air that would cause the graphite to burn?

> My banks as for a password in that iframe. Not done type of one-time-code.

Maybe there's an option for this that a bank can choose when "enabling" 3D Secure? Seems stupid, though. Never experienced it personally.

> If it was just an OTP why would yhe iframe even be necessary?

90% of 3D Secure isn't the user interaction, it's browser integrity checking and permacookie-based submission deduplication. Essentially the iframe delivers a payload similar to the one used by Cloudflare Turnstile. That kind of thing could run in the context of a website (like Cloudflare Turnstile does), but it's a lot easier to manage when it's on its own secure origin without other scripts able to mess with it.

Doing so would destroy the culture of 4chan.

Companies centered around communities don't generally have leeway to shape their communities into a profitable form by directly altering the fabric of the community. Time and again it has been shown that forcing changes to the identity of a space leads to communities' rapid demise. In rare circumstances and with a skilled hand a community can be guided here and there in even some significant ways, but 4chan probably does not have that option: they'd need a massive shift to pull off what you describe.

Instead profit must generally be built around what is there. But whether or not such communities exist to make profit, they surely must be profitable, or they will not survive. They must, some time or another, be free of deficit. This is not a matter of capitalist greed for most communities, but an attempt to find a path towards stability.
There are regulatory structures in place for if your bank goes insolvent. AFAIK there is no regulatory mechanism for "I think The bank owes me $1MM dollars; they think I am not a customer". That's just a lawsuit.

I initially wrote the alignment-only script (in the source repo as `user-scripts/4chan-captcha-aligner.ts`) before the rest of the project because the person who was collecting the data manually for me couldn't wrap their head around the slider-style CAPTCHAs. There's definitely a learning curve.
The outcome of StackOverflow making all its data available was an infinite number of garbage sites republishing the data to try to scoop advertising dollars and polluting the SEO .

If people just wanted to drive around in vehicles that were equivalent to golf carts then everyone would own a quad bike instead of a car.

Cars have been around for more than a hundreds years so it’s astonishing to me that some people cannot imagine what a car would look like without the “smart” features
> And any manager that lets it happen without severe reprimands to the time-waster isn't worth working for.

That would be something only a terribly incompetent manager would ever do.

A manager who is not terribly incompetent would either not take sides until explicitly asked to weigh in, and if and only if he was dragged into the discussion then the manager's only acceptable input would be to eliminate the problem for good by adopting a linter.

Everything else is a mistake and a complete waste of time.
I did 3 years in the trenches at a major eComm company (who is known for their jeans and T-Shirts) helping keep the site up.

Second year running this year, of being able to fully enjoy family time (even the drama) without cutting it short for high stress work. (Black Friday for eComm websites starts at 8 EST on Thurs.).

Well to be fair, big pharma doesn't release preclinical results the same way that academia does. There might be no published work to support the hypothesis, but that doesn't mean they haven't done preclinical work.
I'm happy gIMP is still being worked on. That said, I'm a photoshop user and I find all my personal needs are covered by Photopea (https://photopea.com). It feels like it duplicates all of the photoshop features I regularly use including non-destructive editing, smart layers, and non-destructive layer blending options like stroke, outline, outer-shadow, inner-shadow, solid-color, that I use often. And it runs instantly on any machine I'm at

It's not open source though so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Falcon 9 has been flying for 14 years (since 2010). It will be interesting to see how long it takes Starship to hit the same milestone, given SpaceX's ambitions to use it much more heavily.

Most importantly Content keeps exploding. Total available human Attention does not grow.

So how does Adtech generate more and more revenue and sells more and more ads year on year?

Simple answer - Fraud.
Googlers used to think about themselves as of elite engineers, having passed a very stringent and demanding interview process.

Mr. Pike's quotation assumes that the Googlers should not be expected to be too intellectually capable. That's the damning part for me.
if you look at the accounts/statistics: staff is the majority of the cost

the official figures here are however misleaading as their "staff" numbers only include those directly employed by TOCs and Network Rail

under "other" there's the vast army of contractors, including cleaning staff, track maintenance contractors, train maintenance contractors, private security, and so on

what's left is fuel, interest payments, depreciation, premium payments to government and some capital expenditure (not much...)
I am going to go against the grain and say I think these sound great. Reading isn’t that easy for everybody, judging by the large numbers of adults I know who consume audiobooks over print/kindle. Sure, it sounds worse to have your information come as brainrot, but it will probably help lots of students. Reminds me of when I was a kid and you’d see newspaper articles about how note taking by hand is more effective than using a computer (it’s not).

As to the videos, as an adhd kid who studied with the tv on, I guess I just don’t see the problem.

I'm curious how you'd scale that. Google gets 8.5 billion searches per day. 8.5 billion "Ask HN: Where's the best resource for X" isn't going to scale to that.
Have one of those I actually thought was kind of funny, and bit like having a conversation with an AI.

Tried searching for quotes from the Matrix because of all these AI issues and asked:

"Quote of Agent Smith to Mr. Neo 'How will you speak with no mouth?'"

and got back:

"You're wrong. Agent Smith never refers to Neo as anything other than Mr. Anderson." Completely did not even try to answer the question.

Course, these days it's more Harlan Ellison "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" [1]. Kind of went beyond the Matrix to total thought control and constant machine torture. "How will you search if all results are false?"

Airlines are trying to squeeze every penny out in a depressing race to the bottom because they couldn't really differentiate themselves and travelers overwhelmingly just pick the cheapest flight.

Public transit is quite different. It's not as opex-intensive as flying, it's usually subsidized by the state, and it's often pretty much a monopoly.
> the only avenues I see for curiosity-driven researchers are becoming independently wealthy, living like a monk

I came to the same conclusion. This is the path I'm following (trying to set up a company and lean FIRE). It's sad in a way because those efforts and years could have been directed to research but we have to adapt.
Is that a SO problem or search indexing (Google) problem?

This is a good article on the complexities and interaction between ActivityPub servers, their existing ToS, and Bluesky.

But as far as Bluesky itself is concerned, the answer is wonderfully simple: it's just public. Full stop. Posting on Bluesky is equivalent (from a privacy perspective) to creating a Wordpress blog. Anyone on the internet can see it, and there's no way to stop them, and that's kind of the point.

I find this refreshing and exciting and I hope it leads to a cambrian explosion of innovation in the social media space. The collective creativity of the world can be brought to bear on the network instead of a small handful of strategists employed by the platform.
Fact: NodeJS's never-standardized APIs that change from release to release are a source of non-negligile breakage and churn for JS programmers who make the mistake of entrusting it to run their programs.

Fact: for a great many programs, NodeJS isn't even necessary to provide the operations that a given program needs in order to do its work, because there exist standardized, vendor-neutral, cross-platform, stable APIs, with broad sort by such companies as Apple, Google, Microsoft, Mozilla, etc.

Fact: the runtimes that support these APIs are already pre-installed on virtually every desktop and laptop computer.

Fact: you could write a static site generator targeting these APIs today and get a working program today and that will continue to work indefinitely, due to these vendors' commitment to backwards compatibility.
Services like GitHub and GitLab support preventing changes that overwrite a repo's history, in addition to tracking history even when you force update a branch.

It's a bit embarrassing I even have to explain this, but yes, because racism or sexism are very important parts of 4chan's appeal: it's a place with freedom of speech. Let's be real the standards of discussion are low, but people can discuss stuff freely, which they wouldn't be able to if everything was buried under some GPT generated spam.

> Perhaps it's better not to preemptively excuse the easier path of aligning w/ fascist causes, even to avoid one's own persecution. Better to reinforce that such alignment is reducing yourself, for future observers at least, to a similar distinction

I don't think that's what this everyone-was-a-Nazi language is accomplishing, though. When someone uses the word "Nazi" they mean someone who is entirely unlike themselves or most people they know.

If we lean into this language, we risk forgetting that the vast majority of Germans in the 1930s were no different than the vast majority of us today—they had lives, jobs, families, and they looked the other way or even participated because they didn't want to rock the boat and risk those things. They were not Nazis, they were just citizens, but they enabled genocide.

I don't think that embracing the label "Nazi" for everyday Germans who never joined the party (and maybe even voted against Hitler when there was still a vote!) will scare people into standing up if they end up in a similar situation, it will just serve to create the sense that "1930s Germany was a really awful place with a lot of awful people and aren't I glad that I don't live there?"

If we take the approach instead of talking about how many ordinary people aided and abetted the Nazi cause by being silent—how they committed war crimes without ever being a Nazi—I think that will actually be more effective at teaching people how to avoid recreating the Third Reich.
I used scotrail for the first time in years as a casual return visitor to the UK from Oz. It was ok and on time and clean, and the QR code on/off experience was fine but the confusion of choices trying to book.. complete nightmare. Privatisation has only partially been unwound and multi app multi provider timetable and ticket exposure to casual users is away with the bees.
It’s the same in the Netherlands with the very odd exception for floors. Solid wooden floors are included but if it “laminaat” or anything not glued/nailed, it has to be explicitly mentioned in the sale contract. Just like with window shades etc.

Who said "indistinguishable" ?

Choosing to make your book "fit" is often a good call. You're actually going to attract people who know roughly what they want. My mother reads a lot of trash romance, it's not very important who wrote it, but a handsome guy on the cover signals that this is roughly the right book, the attire and surroundings are a vague gesture at the sub-genre, guy in a white coat? Medical. Business suit? Maybe 1980s.

There's no rule against refusing to obey convention, "Twenty Jazz Funk Greats" is, in fact, not Jazz-funk, and indeed didn't have twenty tracks. But nobody working on that album thought "This is a commercial route to success". It's art. Really difficult to listen to art. If you are not making art but have some other purpose you probably do want to signal your intent to people merely browsing.
Does that matter?

We already know Apple doesn’t care about the Windows market, they could’ve made all sorts of moves over the last 20 years if they did.

It also seems very unlikely they care about the high-end professional market. The kind of people who are really in with Adobe.

But they have a ton of Prosumer customers they could make happy. I know a number of people personally who would like to use Adobe tools but can’t afford the subscriptions. Being able to buy a smaller Apple product, or maybe pay a few dollars a month, to get a good product that covers their needs would probably make them quite happy.

And anything that makes the Mac more sticky to current customers (or new customers) is a good investment for Apple. Every person they can lure away from Creative Cloud or prevent from ever starting with it is someone who doesn’t have an easy path to move to Windows without changing software.

> I like this idea, it has the bonus of revealing how much the reviewer actually cares.

And now you contributed to turn your team culture into shit, with a toxic mix of PR creators purposely shitting on the team's style guide and PR reviewers who have to constantly post follow-up commits to your work because you can't even put together and acceptable PR or clean up after yourself.

What if anyone who posts a PR addresses feedback anyone posts on their work and addresses them until you get the necessary and sufficient approvals?
Exactly my point: Zig managed to pass from a one-man-show stage to a more mature, more established stage. Same happened much earlier with PHP and Perl.

Elm, sadly, never achieved that. But I don't see why Borgo would necessarily follow the way of Elm and not of Zig or PHP.
It's true Falcon 9 has flown for a long time, but its growth rate has been a shockingly consistent 1.6x mass to orbit YoY since the beginning, so at any given time the majority of flights occurred in the previous two years.
A little, but mostly insignificant. The real practical benefit is that if Starship succeeds to be as reusable and rapidly launchable as claimed, its easier to line up launches with gravity assist windows as needed, and thats where you get the huge velocity increases
There is a similar unit used for tracking nuclear fuel “burnup,” which is how much energy it produced: GWd/t (or GWd/MTU).
>May be I should repost this every time there is an argument about Rust. And to expand on that, in communication technology, the one easier to use is going to get wider spread / adoption.

Which frustrates me in many respects. Especially in a specialization like tech where the audience should be used to picking up new tools to make for the best project. But I know most projects are made with business constraints in mind (i.e money and time) and cheapest almost always wins.
google was always by far the best search engine compared to the competition, so data harvesting, advertising etc were accepted costs of doing business. now search engines all suck with the advent of seo, ai pollution, and enshittification - so there is no longer an overwhelming benefit to using google. interesting to witness control slip from a behemoth.
I agree, I think it would be more likely this would be a different bundle.

Maybe there would be a tier of Apple one that also included this stuff, but I think it would be pretty stupid if that was the only way to get it.

I think there’s a lot of companies that might be willing to get this for some of their creative employees who would absolutely resent having to pay for Apple TV+ and Apple Music to do so.
I know, which is why I said the coins and other stuff found is likely not the hobby of a single soldier.
> there are other options that pay much better than spamming

How is there no problem to solve when the post clearly identifies a problem, as well as why the behavior is confusing to a user?

“The system is working as it was designed,” is always true but unhelpful.
That conclusion assumes there are options when there are not. There are millions of people priced out of secure housing. People buy what they can. There's no reason to hunt for patterns in noise.
I prefer a predictable footgun. Your idea is good but it would need to be another flag, so you have to know it exists. Not knowing the semantics is the issue, rather than the semantics themselves.
Sorry, a quip in bad faith. Collectively, _we_ (would-be car maintenance people) are not well enough versed in how these types of systems are designed. This is a collective failure, lack of documentation.

The thing is, addressing the spam and also allowing users to have a low friction experience would be the first step to addressing the concerns you mentioned (without compromising the purpose of the site: anonymous and totally free speech).

There aren't many places for the people that share the views you mentioned to go other than sites like 4chan, so even though there's an awful captcha, they're going to be quite dedicated as they don't have many mainstream options elsewhere.

I believe if users were able to have a frictionless experience, then it'd reduce the chances of someone throwing their hands up in the air and saying, "this isn't worth it". I've actually attempted to reply to threads to challenge the views of others, but once I'm hit with the 300-1000 second wait time to post, I just close the tab and move on.
> Reviews should not waste time with format - I would take the hour to set that up in CI and never worry about it again.

What if you post a PR and forgot to run a linter or configure your editor? Should that not justify a comment over style violations?

The problem will only go away if everyone is on the same page.
Yes and yes. Starship offers about twice the delta-v and triple the mass capacity as Falcon Heavy. Capitalising on the former for a deep-space mission, however, would require sacrificing some reusable.
You are simply ignoring that there are generally economic thresholds before the best answer is to do something different, and excises and other fees simply modify costs but don't change the overall picture.

People with more disposable income have much more ability to make long term, efficient economic choices by forgoing short term gains or even taking losses.

It's similar to subsidizing roof top solar panels: there's a not unreasonable argument that this is just a hand out to the fairly wealthy who own houses, when we could more efficiently use that money in a government program to build industrial scale solar which benefits everyone through net lower emissions/prices.
I could see it either way, Apple still gets a benefit.

Whether a subscription or purchase any piece of software you use on a Mac that you can’t get on Windows is one more sticking point that helps Apple retain their users. And since they make a lot of profit on their hardware that’s a very good thing for them.
PoW like hashcash (not a cryptocurrency thing) might be a better solution. Users could even delegate solving the PoW puzzles to a 3rd party for low power devices like phones. But it imposes a cost on spammers that's inescapable.
