Unfortunately, I'm not sure that it is a viable strategy long term.

When you finally decide to pay attention, there is a chance that you will not be able to easily absorb everything that leads to the situation so you will lack any perspective of the past events.

We live in an extremely dense and complex times, staying informed is very difficult as it is even when you try to pay attention.
My first thought upon reading the headline was that it's better that they put everything on YouTube, than delete more stuff like what they did to Cartoon Network's website:

You don't need to explain with malice what can adequately be explained by stupidity.

In fact that's one of the roads to fascism - constantly looking for "manipulators" everywhere and other witch hunt types.

The longer I live the more I am convinced that the average person has next to 0 ability for critical thinking. They just sort of stumble between local maximas until they end up wherever they are.
I was quite flabbergasted by the "let him at least work for some time" rhetoric. I do not know if it's because america never lived under dictatorship like many other european countries, but this is not okay. Purging scientific data is not okay. Granting people access to write permission on federal payment systems is not okay. I could go on with other items, but it wouldn't be useful.

Perhaps an american movie quote can explain it better, given HN demographics is made by nerds like me: This is how liberty dies, with thunderous applauses
> Remember ten years ago when people said human-driven cars would soon be illegal? The number of fact-specific edge cases that happen every shift mean ATC is far far from automation.

This. Commercial jets have had full auto taxi, take off, fly, land capability for a long time at supported airports. A human is still in the loop for parts of it due to the potential for something to deviate from nominal in a novel way at almost any time.
I'll give Hetzner a shot. Been looking into it and as for Backblaze, I simply can't stand their exclusion-based selection system for files to back up.
Bingo. YouTube has a massive audience and builtin social aspects. Something will eventually go viral from this and draw customer acquisition to the WB platform.
It's fairly easy to compile an updated kernel. The Linux build scripts directly support generating a .deb package that plays nice with apt.
One thing to consider for those of us who are more sensitive to online outrage is to just quit social media all together. I’m technically gen z and I’ve been off of social media (aside from HN, WhatsApp and discord) for years and you wouldn’t believe how great it’s been for my overall state of mind.

Reddit, instagram, X, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, Threads, etc are all the equivalent of digital junk food and I’d argue that we’re all a lot more negatively affected by it than we think. There’s a reason ‘brain rot’ was word of the year.
It comes from the FP world. It's one of those things like monads that seem obvious when explained but sound opaque if you're not in on it.

Basically it's saying to create a formal set of types and formal rules about how they interact. If you search for permutations of phrases like "functional programming" "algebra" "data types" you'll turn up some hits. For instance [1]

$17 is temporarily half off with list $37.19. So normally it's pretty similar.
Not sure if that's really a proof, as it could be the exact combination of language features that makes up the slowness. For example traits, non-ordered definitions in compilation units and monomorphization probably don't help. GHC also isn't a speed demon for compilation.

But sure, LLVM and interfacing with it is quite possibly a big contributor to it.

caching is orthogonal to using or not using ORM. You might opt to have caching with or without ORM in a consistent manner. You can also opt to add read replicas fronted by say pgcat in Postgres case without having separate caching layer.
My armchair understanding is they're closer to "lifestyle businesses", and if there's larger funding sources at play it's in supporting the ecosystem at large.

But I'm just an armchair commentator here. I hangout here cause I'd love to hear some better firsthand experiences if my story is off.
Sentry is comprised of many services but it has been running just fine on a t3.xlarge for over a year for my team. _shrug_
So easy. Should we also remove college attended or extracurriculars to avoid flagging potential demographic details like attending an HBCU?
Yes, that's of how I see it too. The upcharge has to come from somewhere and I guess it's up to regulators on how much they would allow the public to take on that risk. My guess is that most people are completely ignorant about that gotcha and (understandably) only care about the price.
my advice to you that cant breathe it in is leave your fantasy where propaganda is pollution and join reality where it does not impact you. also if you live in reality instead of the fantasy, you will just be less outraged in general.
I totally agree with you, but it's pretty obvious why this behaviour exists. At the end of the day, a cell phone is as much a status symbol, something akin to the clothes you wear, as much as it is an actual phone. Would you potentially lower your opinion of someone wearing a strange piece of clothing? The principle is exactly the same.
Sure and the number of computers that can run Linux outperform them both. Maybe you don't need W11?

I also don't think the share of TPM-less computers out there is actually that significant. Most laptops have shipped with one for a long time. Desktops that lack one can often buy one. Which is way cheaper than a new PC should you need W11. (I also suspect there are options way cheaper than $500 as well.)

Saying that not being able to run W11 turns something into e-waste is frankly rather crazy. Neither do they want that hardware destroyed.
These are Stalinist purges, without the violence. From outsider perspective, this is extremely sad and worrying.

reordering elements with CSS does not reorder them in the accessibility tree and thus is not really a good option in my opinion.

My guess is it is chasing the beam. Change the border color from black to your sprite color, then back to black again. The change takes a minimum of 4 cycles (store absolute), which I think explains the thickness of the numbers. Some calculations involving the PAL scan line frequency could confirm if 4 cycles is quick enough.

edit for further detail:
This would be used for one of the numbers, with the other 8 using sprites.
These are really good points, it's depressing as hell to see the the quality of discussion around this stuff. Obviously DEI is great when it's trying to fix things on the input side.

Perhaps I can simplify this argument. If you have a lift heavy things job, which we can agree that women on average are worse at, you shouldn't hire more women by quota, but you could provide free weight training for women. Both things are DEI, the latter is the kind of DEI we want.
This is the first mention I’ve heard of a great firewall in the US. Have I been living under a rock?

> - Not having to name CSS classes

Most websites are maybe 20 components and localized pages. Not exactly that hard to name and keep constant. Can not think of names, just ask one of the AIs.

> - Easier to read as it's inline with the rest of your HTML

Only if you do a few styles. The moment you have mobile + desktop + dark/light you start to leave lines half a mile long.

> - Not having to manage a separate file and remove unused components

Counterpoint: Components/templates are still the same hell to manage.

> - Being able to use media queries, which I couldn't do in a style tag

CSS ... literally the bread and butter.

> - No risk of changing a class that is used elsewhere. CSS has global scoping which has its benefits but is risky.

Counterpoint: You will end up with styles that are applied to parts, then copied, forgotten to change, and then have a mix of styles that conflict with each other.

And you do not use global scoped CSS, but localized per page. All you need is local CSS + a single parent id/class and voila. Local scoped will not mess with global. Do not do stupid stuff like button { style style style }. No, make global scoped iButton, so you never run into the issue off having parental styles doing funny things to child styles.

Let me introduce our lord and savvier called Nested CSS + Named CSS tags ... Reusable, standardized, ...

Tailscale is frankly a solution for front end JS frameworks, and less for any server rendered html. Use local CSS for html pages that are really local. No need to make global CSS for price cards that you only use on one page. But if something is used over multiple pages, buttons, ... that is global. Simple, no?

Ironically, i am in the process of actually removing Tailscale everywhere because the recent 3 > 4 upgrade screwed so much up. What stayed good? My actual CSS nexted/tag components that i never.

That is one of the issues with frameworks in general, etc, things between versions can really mean a lot more work vs just having everything "basic".

I feel a lot of issue that people have with CSS are more related to not having a proper understanding about CSS, and ignoring some basics. Like do not style base tags. Use nested + custom naming tags, local css + a local id/css and you have no issue with overlap. Best of all, you gain the ability to make easier reusable components as your CSS are the components, not some JS/... whatever call you need to do to render something. It gets messy fast if your breadcrumbs is a components with items, and you need to change something later on. But if its a basic breadcrumbs{} css, adding feature is just a matter of adding naming.

Trust me, took me years to get out of this mindset (and it helped that CSS evolved a lot but most people do not even realize that CSS today != what they know/grew up with)
I said presence share, not market share

Three total customers exist worldwide. All three have red square, two have yellow square, and one has blue square

Blue square sold one in six items, so it has one sixth market share. Blue square is one in three households, so it has one third presence share
Unfortunately, your comment neither answers my question nor is it helpful in relation to the other arguments.
Firstly, someone ultimately has to have control of agency spendng, so that cannot be deemed a conflict of interest by itself.

Secondly, I don't believe Musk has any direct authority to make any changes within these agencies whatsoever. DOGE is only permitted to review agency operations and make recommendations, not to execute them.

The changes that are being attributed to Musk, are perhaps being done at his recommendation, but there is an agency director signing off on all of this.
thank you for proving cunninghams law still applies! much appreciated.
I had the pleasure of entertaining a colleague from China who was visiting Portland while we worked at a conference some years back. She had offered many similar complaints about American food as you did. But the places I took her to (which were themed, respectively, as Argentine and Russian) seemed to abolish that completely.

America, outside of New York and maybe Orlando, isn't really set up to entertain international visitors. Many restaurants charge a high price because they serve food that kids like and parents can tolerate. Fast food is optimized to eat in the car; delivery pizza is optimized to be delivered, which is something you should never do to a decent pizza. Nachos are a meme. Whole Foods was good ten years ago; a decent host should have pointed you to Wegman's or Market Basket or Publix. Trader Joe's is great when you live here and you want to get a good price on a bag of "wild rice" (manomon) or pecans, but you wouldn't usually live off of it.

If you want to enjoy the food here, you probably need to go with a local.

>And why is half your yoghurt thickened with gelatine, anyway?

Because Americans didn't eat yogurt until they started marketing the fat-free stuff as a diet food. Real yogurt is an afterthought for most manufacturers, though Dannon sells the real thing. Now everyone has switched to strained ("Greek") yogurt so the market for the normal kind is even less.
Fair enough, I yield. I'm on your side, it is dire times, and we have more urgent things to do than discussing proper distinctions on an internet forum. Any action now is better than the perfect action later, so let's get out on the streets and protest, instead.
The selection added has mostly reached end-of-life on cultural relevance and/or prestige. This is like reopening a tapped mine hoping for a few more nuggets of value. If anything gets too much traction they'll move it to a paid service.
What makes this different from OpenBB?
I envy you.

Do you post on HN via mail?
Also great for rich interactive experiences that use traditional server side rendering to a large degree, this would allow you to make something like the Spotify web application without the need for large client side heavy JavaScript to render things.
> You've said this, but in this thread alone you've seen the opposition refusing to engage with the topic thoughtfully. They just repeat their rhetoric ad nauseum.

I don't disagree with you, however I singled out the USA because, over the period of this article, both Obama and Biden were both president. Ultimately, the people arguing against my point can point to kernels of truth and of things that did happen. While I disagree with their diagnosis, I can't point to the fact that the issues were recognised and attempts made to address them. And, ultimately, Trump did win the presidential election partially off the back of this!
I don't see the relevancy of the JS engine in the context of a web rendering engine and its independent complexity. The homepage of Servo (basically, a portion of the Wikipedia entry snapshot) doesn't even mention it.
Pentagon to Dulles Airport is 20 miles in direct distance.

It takes 1 hour by subway as there is no direct connection and the lines have a lot of stops.

The real solution would be a direct subway with no stop between Dulles and Pentagon. 20 miles using a fast subway should be no more than 25 minutes in travel time. The subway could then continue making a loop in central DC, serving all the offices next to the White House etc.

But that would be good public transportation and that is outside of Congress' Overton Window.
Me calling out you for your distorted view of women === I hate men?

Solid logic. 100%. Probably the same logic that resulted in your wack determination about rejection.

PS. I'm a man. One who doesn't hate women. Or men. Not in general. I am able to hate individuals though, and their gender plays little into it, while their sweeping generalizations and hateful pseudo facts often do.
In my experience: Too large is any team larger than 10 people or any code base with more than 10,000 lines of code. Both of those would be considered tiny by most in the industry.

What else is on Project 2025 that hasn’t happened yet?
If typesetting and a grammar mistake in one sentence were what made a book viable or not, authors would care. I've seen enough (crazy expensive) bugs that could have been caught by linters and bugs introduced through insane formatting and style choices that I can't agree that a book and software are all that comparable.

I'm on team "agree at the beginning and then make it part of CI" and I basically never have to have this conversation more than once or twice per project now but I also think that the people most obsessed with it and dwell on it for their personal daily work are problematic, as are the people who hate any rules whatsoever and want to write complete shit code to just call the job done because "that's the important part".
Is it really following the lead of a winner if you started by building your own failing streaming service, then buying another streaming service and merging them, and only then starting to license out content?
Fundamentally transforming the CIA has been a goal of some conservatives.

I had used ublock-origin on youtube to disable the right-hand sidebar of "recommended" videos so that I could just view the stuff in my subscriptions. A couple of years ago, they started detecting and blocking ublock-origin, so I stopped using it (ublock).

It's not really the ads that bother me. It's the "recommended videos". Is there a way to customize my view of youtube to avoid the shit I don't need to see?

The thing about youtube is that it's very easy for propaganda/click-bait to creep in during moments of weakness.

Maybe it's time to go cold-turkey? Failing that, maybe it's worth it to try and take some control over the experience?
A dryer or similar kitchen appliance is in fact much better because almost all filament dryers on the market trap the moisture inside unless you manually open them.

I find it weird how even today a guide just suggests to leave the lid open when the solution is to buy a device that actually works as advertised.
> High income != developed. There are different metrics.

You might want to replace the quote you were citing.
If you ever dealt with the business side of SaaS you know how important churn is.

Growth = New Customers Acquisition - Churn. New customers are expensive for many businesses to get, they have marketing, sales, and promotion related expenses. It makes sense to spend money to reduce churn too, because it’s a cheaper way to boost your growth rate.

If you offer deals to reduce churn, you need to focus on if those deals are just delaying inevitable churn or if they are actually winning back customers. Delaying churn is just a game of spending money to make your books look better for a quarter.
Steam is a video game app store for PCs. Back when MS added their app store to windows, the people who make steam (Valve) started working on Proton (wine based?) to get windows video games to work on Linux. Originally Valve said Ubuntu was the only Linux distro they officially supported. Then they started their own distro based on Debian. then they switched to their distro to arch.

TLDR Valve, the company that makes Steam, works on getting games to work on Linux, but they have been kind of all over the place.

I can make a 5 line HN comment explaining how to use git:

4. git add + commit + push

5. git reset / rebase
And that’s why Play Integrity is based on hardware attestation and it is no longer a swiss cheese? And Win11 requires specifically TPM 2.0 (usually fTPM) not just any TPM.

You’re also entirely missing the point. Yes, you can bypass TPM based DRM to extract the unencrypted video (or just analog hole it) that’s why the game is to lock down the OS so you just can’t play it.

If all DVD players came with watermark detection instead of copy protection you wouldn’t have bootlegs because now every single client device needs to do the bypass instead of just once to extract unencrypted stream.

How many people have bypassed or hardware modded Playstations or Switches? This is what you’re talking about. Almost everyone will just accept it.

Steam's recommendations, and their actual "SteamOS", moved to Arch-based around the launch of the Steam Deck.

I've been told Bazzite is a really nice Steam-focused distro: https://bazzite.gg/

Haven't tried it yet, I'm procrastinating moving a gaming desktop to Linux as October gets closer (end of Windows 10 support; end of Windows support for that desktop's CPU/TPM).
I would have agreed with you until I hit Arch and Nix (for different reasons).

Even back in my windows days, I would say wiping the OS and starting fresh about once a year was fairly common, and often avoided a lot of pitfalls.

But... I've been running about 8 Arch machines at home over the last 5 years (6 servers, one desktop, one laptop), and mostly don't feel the need to wipe them.

There's a little bit of cruft, but it's usually related to me doing things, and not the OS itself. So the system still feels stable and solid.

---

Personally - I think for Arch, it's a combination of "Not changing upstream" and "upgrading constantly" so that they don't have a lot of custom cruft to start with, and they have to deal with the upgrade process all the time, so it's not some "huge lift" that happens once every 2 years.

Nix has a similar free feel, but it's not so much that upgrades are painless (they aren't), it's more that "wiping" the machine takes a different tone when you basically wipe the machine with every config change, and reverts are simple and easy.

Both are pretty nice, though.

Guesswork is rarely helpful
i have been surprised at the degree to which the government recently appears to use its discretion to punish political opponents. i am no Musk fan, but I do not think the prior govt was justified in putting their thumbs on the political scales in the way they did. perhaps this is nothing new, Trump does it all the time and Bush did as well (scooter libby case)... but still seems worth calling out.

similar to how california is proposing an ev credit that would explicitly exclude tesla, they have some parallel-invented justification for it but it is clear what the real reasons are
