Why doesn't HN embrace the discourse?
I wish HN would just embrace the community aspect and enable an old school forum type environment. Have a few subjects you can tag: Software and hardware (most of HN currently), science/technology news, and world events.

Not enough to fracture the user base or dilute the diversity of what people see, but also give people a little more space both to engage in and decide not to engage with… basically techno-communists and hype-addicts.

I like HN. It’s a community that by default has something in common. That’s what made old forums good. Hanging out in the news or off topic section of the car or guitar forum you frequented felt cozier than modern communities. Reddit ruined things.

Maybe I’m just very nostalgic right now. I have been awake for a long time cleaning and migrating data from Excel to Postgres. Maybe I’m delirious.
Not economic gains. Wealth extraction. Provide just as much value as needed to squeeze out the super majority of the new value, maybe less.

Edit: We violently agree!
YouTube doesn't have to adjudicate anything. They just have to demote the known bad actors to using the real DMCA process rather than their own system. They can still make a claim under penalty of perjury with a takedown but that won't count as a strike.
If it was 2:27 and I asked you the time, I would be much happier with "half past two" than "quarter past two"
Perhaps the largest cause of wasted programming time is building things based on what sounds plausibly useful rather than what is actually useful. It's not an easy question to answer, but it needs to be asked constantly to avoid the trap.

Many of us have had the experience of spending an entire weekend feverishly hacking on something that was going to change the world, only to have someone point out a critical flaw in our assumptions as soon as they try it.

This is why scratching your own itch is so effective. If you make something that you actually use every day, you might be on to something. Going from 0 to 1 users is the hardest step.
The python package Hypothesis[0] already does a great job bringing property-based testing to the people! I've used it and it's extremely powerful.

It takes half a day to get the details over with a judge and decide exactly whose and what accounts to lock, those truckers were allowed to stay there for months. (And if you don't know what exactly to block, you shouldn't be allowed to block anything. Maybe you still have enough reason to look at their movement, maybe not.)

Also, it takes a couple of hours to get the police to unblock a road. Last time I checked, money movement in bank accounts does not block roads.
I haven't - only aware of the project when it was still a prototype and trying to get funding.
Showing up early just makes other people feel like they did something wrong by showing up on time.
I don't know if this was during the same time period or not, but in some parts of the city (mostly residential or smaller commercial areas) they didn't bother raising the buildings, they just built the streets up higher and added flying walkways from the new sidewalk height to the new front entrances on the second story of the houses. Many of them had stairs that went down to the old ground level and I think in most of them they had been converted to separate apartments.

My dad's small commercial building in Pilsen looked normal, but if you peeked into the holes in the sidewalk out front you could see a vaulted space underneath where the old sidewalk used to be, which was kind of unnerving when you realized the sidewalk was crumbling. You could even access it from the basement of his building (which I suppose used to be the ground level?), but he never let me go down there as a kid.

I also know of one or two old homes from around this time period in the neighborhood I grew up in (which wasn't part of Chicago at this time) that were later moved off what became the main avenue through the area to new locations about a block away. I think that happened much later though.
Because of how lots of reminders work. There isn't even a good way to tell Google calendar to always notify 1 minute before events - I had to do it through slack integration.

So instead the reminder usually tells you a meeting will be in 15min which quite often is a useless information. Then the app tells you the meeting started right now and you still need a few seconds to wrap things up and prepare.
The problem is that massive spike in immigration under J.T. is making the housing issue worse.
Well, that is the ultimate philosophical rabbit hole.

If everyone is doing better objectively but have been hammered with propaganda so much that they subjectively believe they're doing worse, how do you square that?

I'd argue there's an easy solution in getting rid of the propagandists that are making everyone sad, so twitter, facebook etc.
Re failures and inefficiencies, correct. But 99.999% of jobs do not fall into those categories for any meaningful duration of time.

Agreed on landlords -- this is a rather unique but huge failure case. My comment history is full of harping on this particular point :)

Yeah obviously you can do the work yourself.

As far as I can tell, their way of generating humor is much more naive, rehashing comedic patterns from pre-training. You're probably right that genuine, original humor would require a deep enough understanding of human expectations to be able to subvert them.
Do defers get processed if an exception is thrown? I know C doesn’t have exceptions, but real world C code often interacts with C++ code. So it is necessary imo to define that interaction.

In C++ we have something pretty similar already in the form of Folly ScopeGuard (SCOPE_EXIT {}).
If you mean stop submitting articles that are purely political, I fully agree.

But these days in the US, all science articles will spawn political comments. That is because in the US, there are many politicians refuting proven scientific facts. Especially in regards to Climate Change.

So here we are.
Seems like there are important cultural differences in how appointment times are understood. Last week I was talking to a friend living in the Comoros, who mentioned that for them 13:59 is still 13:00 for this purpose.
Everyone gets manipulated one way or another. It’s up to the person to carry the weight and responsibility of their actions.

When it comes to US - Canada relations, if Canadians decide to be a part of the states, then it’s their will. I don’t support it, but if super majority changes their minds… well, we live in a democracy, and such is the will of people.

Frankly, I think US is in a panic mode as they realize they can’t outcompete China anytime soon by themselves. So they’re trying every possible thing to see what sticks to increase their chances.

China is also in panic mode because of internal issues that stem from the younger generation’s dissatisfaction. Natural fix is to claim some wins to rally and unite people. So the ideas of reunification, playing to win in manufacturing, showing how much better they can overcome the economical problems using their 1B population are on the play now.

For whatever reason, I think the common lives of people who live in countries that play for both sides will be the only ones that get elevated. And frankly, I think, Canada should do the same.
> Furthermore, on what grounds are you claiming that Sloly resigned over illegal orders, when most sources agree it was over failure to perform?

I don't know enough about the situation to have an opinion about much of this, but at least on this one I don't think you need grounds to disbelieve stated reasons for resignation. I've personally witnessed many people resigning and giving reasons like "to focus on my family" or "to focus on my health" or something when in reality they were parachuting out before getting fired or were resigning for other reasons but didn't want to burn a bridge by telling the truth. I wouldn't be surprised if being untruthful (or only partially truthful) in resignations is more the norm than is being honest, and when talking about politics that probably goes up even more.

> people have come to hate it so much that they can't maintain it, they're in for a collapse because of it

Considering how post-Brexit Britain panned out, the people in charge of policy will be pragmatic and allow immigration to resume just to prevent immediate collapse under their watch, even if re-opening the immigration gates is unpopular.

That's just them playing into being "terminally online" - and, I'd wager, being really terminally online, but also presenting it as a joke, for it to be more palatable publicly.

I was reading the pypi blog on my tablet the other day and it had an annoying "back to top" popup that kept covering the text I was trying to read.
Annoying (a $2 coin would help) but at least feeding those coins back into the machine for tomorrow's ticket is reliable, unlike with paper bills.
As always, this is only possible when a post like this appears in a site like HN and the community outrage forces YouTube/Google to take action.

This will continue happening to smaller channels and creators, and they will continue to have their content stolen.
At a minimum they were actually taking proactive action to be nuisances in solidarity with terrorists. Whether that makes you a terrorist I don’t know, but historically governments frown on those providing any kind of support to terrorists and tend to use the transitive property when dealing with such actions.
Cookie Clicker got me into programming back in the day! Super simple structure (back then) and fun way to experiment with coding in an interactive way with visual feedback.
TFA goes into the author's opinion around when to floor and when to round, and notes that "hours" is the largest interval where rounding feels right.
Knowing that the vast majority of parents will not check or enforce school work at home, either because they don't care or can't (2 jobs etc) ...

You have to choose which one actually happens. That seems to me to be the lecture.

Additionally teachers are very opposed to doing extra work (this seems to be a Gen-Z thing: even with doctors you see this, there was an article about doctors refusing to do emergency rooms shifts during covid because they didn't want to pull more hours ...). So you'll need to get teachers that are willing to do a LOT of extra work (and compensated accordingly), and prevent people from sabotaging that system.

Either that or you could make schools pretty exclusive again. Which is what the default outcome will be if we don't act.
No, the power steering system on these is entirely hydraulic/mechanical. I’m surprised Mazda had such a feature so early.
It's hard to know how worrying or damning this usage pattern is.

Speaking personally, I never did any homework, as I found it incredibly dull. So I don't really find it that worrying someone shirking their homework.

The replacement of thought with using ChatGPT does seem worrying though.
As a French Canadian this is unfortunately true the further north you go.
It was implied by the phrase 'transformed the ways everyone used computers'. True, to younger computer users MacWrite would be the most familiar of the three. However, in terms of total unit sales and percentage of users for their day, MacWrite was practically rounding error in the word processor market. It was WordStar and then WordPerfect that dominated (and therefore 'transformed...') until the early/mid-90's when MS Word took over.

And who in their right mind would come to defend Canada against the US if it comes to it? It would be suicide on any country's part, plain and simple.
> That's not how it works. North Korea is great at producing dollars that "meet the specs" but they are still counterfeit

The quote from Steve Wozniak refers to an official sheet of dollar bills, purchased from the official source. I'm sure that he considers the source as part of the "specs", and is not referring to only the physical aspects.

"Can I cut uncut currency sheets? What happens if the notes on my sheet were cut apart?

Because the individual notes on uncut currency sheets are legal tender, they may be cut apart and spent. Were you to do this, they would only be valued at their face value, even though you would have paid more than their cumulative value for the uncut currency sheet."
There's a big gap between the big list "what we have to do" and being able to furnish a brief summary that both focuses the team's attention correctly and shows higher leadership that what's happening is meaningful.

The problem with OKRs is that they're another metric, and get gamed and talked about as such. The soft skill of being able to effectively summarize and express the meaning behind list of tasks isn't necessarily going to

Linear programming has become flexible enough to allow way more constraints. Take a thousand variables for each food type, and then not only impose constraints for each nutrient, but also for cookability, for example not allowing flour to be used in a much larger quantity than milk, if one desires. LLMs could probably figure half of this out.

Then, you could add binary variables for each food type and add big M-constraints to ensure these correspond to whether the food is actually used in the diet or not, modifying the objective to favor either variety or simplicity. One could then add constraints on these variables to ensure foods are not used in too small quantities (too large ones are even simpler).

If I didn't enjoy food too much, I would do this now, solve the MILP and strictly follow this diet. The Wikipedia article does not name any modern applications or improvements upon his principle, did. nobody actually follow through this at all as LP exploded?
Great work! Based on your TODO "Add functionality to upload videos directly from YouTube URLs." I recommend leveraging https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp to support any video source their extractors support. Also consider S3 compatible targets (not just AWS S3, but also Backblaze B2, Minio, etc). Lastly, consider supporting writing post processing data back to the system(s).

This should cover ingesting data from the vast majority of potential use cases besides a local filesystem mount.
Scammers often use more than just your name. They often take content from your site too to try to make theirs look like yours.
This is the reason some believe the "value proposition" of having the CEO executed point blank is justified.
It's not a partisan issue.

The Charter is pretty clear on the limitations placed on protests.

If those truckers had dispersed within a day they would have been fine.

But they were accepting donations and foreign money in order to stay encamped and had no intention of dispersing.
It isn't like Mint, it also has the budget part. Although I just use it to track spending with rules and so on. Then I do it in a spreadsheet.
They haven't accepted Covid vaccinations, immigration, the election of Joe Biden,

I agree with this, but funnily enough, this makes the system work, just not for the reasons at face value. So, people don't match because of they like similar hobbies, they match because they look for the same proxies of values and status.
Constitutionalism is whatever, but it is interesting how much more dogmatically divided Canada seems to be getting under the decidedly more authoritarian administration of Trudeau. Everyone's worried about violence and terrorism but terrorists are a, semantically, political construct and a product of authoritarianism and inequality.

I wonder what this says about where the US is headed..........
Same on samsung internet. I was happy it crashed.
One of the reasons that copyright processes are so biased towards traditional rightsholders and against individual creators is that the latter group is simultaneously captive to the platform and unorganized/decentralized; YouTube needs licenses and goodwill from, say, Universal, far more than it needs 3blue1brown individually.

And the incentives for rectifying this are skewed: video platforms simply need to address individual cases with influential creators just reactively enough so that collective action isn't incentivized; that's far cheaper, and far easier to not need to coordinate with traditional rightsholders, than addressing the problem systematically.

If we believe that the vision of being an independent content creator is important to humanity - and I think it's becoming vital as "a way to distinguish myself" that folks are able to dream about from an early age - then we need to seriously work to protect it. Not everybody will get their "big break" but we can at the very least start having conversations about protecting creators from an AI-driven DMCA bot arbitrarily destroying their career through automated channel-disabling rules.
> I would label this as an inconvenience.

Yeah, that kind of comment pops up after "non-violent" protest that privates innocent people of fundamental rights.

They were not a "protesting" organization, they were an organized armed group with plans to attack the parliament, that's when they got taken down.
> Basically I'm arguing that rounding for clocks would be more useful than flooring. This is especially apparent when you're trying to calculate "how much time until my next meeting?"

Yet a rounding clock provides no way at all for you to know whether the meeting has already started or not.

Not sure where I've heard this, but an idea that's been stuck in my head is this: We don't look at clocks to see what time it is, we do so to know what time it isn't yet:

Have I missed the bus yet? Can I already go home? Am I late for this meeting? Do I still have time to cancel this cronjob? All questions that a rounded clock cannot precisely answer.

> But I do believe that the job is fundamentally different when it's about selling a product that's needed compared to selling worthless crap.

Definitely. Another big driver is recurring relationships, either with customers or a larger peer selling community[0]. Most people won't buy more than once from someone unreliable, and ethical people generally don't want to work alongside or be associated with unethical people. Sales people that have options will gravitate towards products/companies they think they can sell more of and most won't consider working for companies that make useless crap or companies that can't or won't support what they make.

0 - think multi-tier tech sales, where you might have an OEM that makes a product, a distributor that either holds stock on the product or handles receivables for the OEM, and a VAR who might directly sell the product to an end-user, all with sales reps that work together on most (or all) deals.
The same reason Google burns $50M+ in electricity each year using protobufs instead of a more efficient format. An individual company having specific needs isn't at odds with a general statement being broadly true.
