Flagging can be useful, although I wish that there were more details
about why posts get flagged and dead (though of course people could be
dishonest about that).

Those that are flagged for _legitimate_ reasons, because they're links
to scams, malware, or paywalled materials are best taken out of
circulation. I'm glad that moderators do this. I know Dang disfavours
posts with the potential to burst into flames, and that's
questionable, but somewhat okay. That's really the moderators being
smart and making less work for later when a mess needs clearing up.
But such preemptive policing is dangerous.

Those that are flagged because they challenge the politics of the
dominant creed here, are are getting more frequent, at least in the
few years I've been watching HN. Flagging is used to suppress speech
for sure.

But flagged posts remain accessible and useful. I can usually tell
when an article is flagged because it's disagreeable to a certain
mindset, and then go read it. It actually signposts the things I might
want to read more.

What's getting jolly annoying is the rapidity with which very
interesting posts get flagged while one is still reading and replying
to them. This makes HN increasingly feel like a place where
participation is not welcome, which is sad.
Danny Green is probably the father of [the 3-and-D] model, with his 40% career three-point field goal percentage and he also made into all-defensive team.

Obviously people shot fewer 3s back then, but as far as I remember, Bruce Bowen was really the first 3-and-D player back in the 90s.

Gone are the days of an all-around player. There is no longer a need for a player who does everything. Look at players like Kobe Bryant and Lebron James (early career); they not only scored but guarded defense, caught rebounds and played the role of playmakers.

Not sure how true that is. People sometimes call the modern style "heliocentric" - one star who makes the offense work, surrounded by a bunch of role players. These star players often do basically everything, albeit most are better at some things than others. But that's always been true, stars in the old days were not always perfectly balanced.

And stars these days have a ton of variability. Look at the best players in the league - Jokic, Shai, Giannis, Luka, Embiid (when healthy..) - those guys all play very different styles of basketball, and that's awesome!

But I do agree with the overall point of the article. I find it annoying when I'm watching a game and so many possessions there's just not much happening. A couple passes around the perimeter, someone jacks up a moderately contested 3, rinse and repeat. Not the most exciting basketball. That doesn't happen every play, and there's still plenty of exciting plays and players, but it happens a lot more than it used to.
Celery sounds like the right choice here.

Nothing is safe unless you fully control it yourself.

But your points are more around the legislative issues than the funding which is valid but a separate issue.

On that I’ve been unpicking the tie in mess I got myself into for 2 years now. I have got control over my data but not always things I reference which is where this problem comes in.

Recently a relative died and I’ve seen how a simple non technical person is screwed already due to iCloud dependency etc.
> At this point, injuries, not players or teams, are deciding who moves forward.

Football is kinda like this at this point too. Some fraction of the top QBs are going to go down each year, and it feels like a limp to the finish.

That being said, somehow Wilt Chamberlain once played a season in which he only missed 8 and a half minutes total in the entire season, including OT. Amazing. Times have changed but that will never happen again now.
> joining a PhD program would mean I would only get to work on what my advisor found exciting.

No, it wouldn't.

Sometimes. Often not.
Deleted my account years ago, and I'm not surprised LI has become even more of a cesspit.

Can you add content to your claim?
> A great way to gain legitimacy.

Is that sarcastic? arXiv is legal and mainstream, used by professionals; sci-hub is illegal.
I usually don't remember details like that but I practice the ways to get them - e.g. for elementary school you should know how old you were for the year, and then you can check at what date elementary school starts in your area (where I'm from it's always 15th of September) so you can pinpoint it.
You lost me at "Kubernetes".
Are they gonna go against Dragon Quest VIII? After playing for a while you met a crazy guy that runs a ring of monsters and he then encumbers you with capturing monsters all around the world and put them to compete against each other on the arena. Are the gonna go against Hogwarts? They also have a mechanic of capturing monsters around the world. There's probably other examples out there but those are the ones I could remember.

I'm awful at discussions because I cannot keep track of the facts. I tried to google it before writing this message but my brain is in another place. Nintendo fought and still fights pretty hard against emulators, roms and developers who creates them or even youtubers who post content about it, yet, they were caught selling emulators and roms to the public. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure I saw a video from MVG about this. By the way, MVG was threaten by Nintendo himself.

From their most recent annual report, at https://info.arxiv.org/about/reports/2023_arXiv_annual_repor...

"In 2023, arXiv received a $5 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF Grant 2311521 | “Frameworks: arXiv as an accessible open access research platform”). Distributed over five years (performance conclusion: 2028) this grant’s goal is to create a more discoverable and accessible arXiv to advance scientific innovation."

That's $1 million/year.

Total revenue in 2023 was $2,690,592.
It's interesting that she lists presidential inaugurations. I personally use those as milestones because my birthday is January 20th. It's fun to watch video of past inaugurations (since 1972) and think, "Huh, I was such and such age then. I don't remember everyone looking so weird!"

(The bad side, of course, is that I can have some truly depressing birthdays - like my 45th and 53rd.)
> You don't need to pursue a PhD to do research

...in some subjects (particularly those that are popular here on HN). Not in general. Be careful with such sweeping statements.

Most people on their deathbed would counsel you to focus on relationships rather than productivity.
Have any EU governments indicated they are moving away from Windows/MacOS to SUSE?
We see this a lot in football as well. Some say it's "lost its flair", I still can't tell if it's rose tinted glasses or if truly something was lost in with the omnipresence of data-driven optimisation. I tend towards the latter.
Some things that can happen: Product gets canned.
Customers want on premise in their data center.
Usage spikes are too extreme and serverless is simply the cheapest option.

I would always recommend "serverless" monolith first with the option to develop with mocks locally/offline. That's imo the best risk/effort ratio.
The government doesn’t fund any of those services. None of that stuff is under threat from trump.
> I have to wonder how many people actually understand Kubernetes.

I have to wonder how many people actually understand when to use K8s or docker. Docker is not a magic bullet, and can actually be a foot gun when it's not the right solution.
> The only reason people are still using Windows is gaming

Also, almost every corporation and similar large-scale deployment, for management and compatibility purposes.
Yes, I've also had this thought. I also wonder how wide the geographic net is for some providers. If it's sufficiently wide, it's not infeasible to brute-force the right geographic location by just looping through a few locations. It also has the adverse affect of locating the victim.
I click the reader mode button in Firefox, and if it doesn't render as simplly text with some images (sometimes it's just a stub, for example), then I bail.
Disagree. Also watch and play a lot. And also think the article is poorly written, amateur analysis FWIW.

That said, Wallace was 2000s, not 90s, and they were specialists whose exception proved the rule. Basketball then was much more positional, so you did have specialists in that you expected your PF to rebound, your SG to shoot, etc. Considering the modern game is much more positionless, it is surprising that in relation that foundation, there is much so much more focus on specialized skills (3pt shooting, wing defense, paint protection, offensive rebounding).

Also agree that Thinking Basketball is a terrific podcast.
I've been using Fossil for personal projects and love it. It's maybe best to think of Fossil as GitHub in a box. Fossil comes with a server that includes tickets, a wiki, and a live chat space in addition to the version control. I work on my phone on the bus, start the server (`fossil server`) in Termux when I get home, and then access that on my computer.

The project is super well put together. It's so refreshing compared to the dumpster fire that is git. The commands make sense, the documentation (if even necessary) makes sense, and the code of Fossil itself is easy to compile and hack on.

The community is nice, too. I really appreciate Dr. Hipp's approach to software.
In the context of this discussion, which is about the complexity of the k8s stack: yes.

Youre ultimately gonna have to use a storage of some form unless you're just a stateless service/keep the services with state out of k8s. That's why I'd include it, and the fact that you can use multiple storage backends, each with their own challenges and pitfalls makes k8s indeed quiet complex.

You could argue that multinode PaaS is always going to be complex, and frankly- I'd agree with that. But that was kinda the original point. At least as far as I interpreted it: k8s is not simple and you most likely didn't need it either. But if you do need a distributed PaaS, then it's probably a good idea to use it. Doesn't change the fact that it's a complex system.
The issue is parking is not the impetus for this demand. It is an anchor on the demand due to its effect on prices but not an impetus to trigger demand. No one says "hey wait, lets go to the $300 concert now, I just saw this parking lot three blocks away slashed their daily rate from $25 down to $2 because they didn't fill it up!" In fact most parking people pay is obligate. In other words they are paying whatever is asked because they have no choice if they want to seek the event or whatever point of interest out, not the other way around. If that were the case the other way around the most interesting places in town would be surrounded by miles of free surface parking lots, when really that mainly represents places like walmart and not places like concert venues or bar districts or museum districts.
I don't understand how tennis is making the pickleball courts inaccessible, it sounds like the pickleball courts are packed?
That seems to be a premature assessment. Trump paused a weapons shipment to Ukraine, then allowed to it to continue. No other shipments have been held up at all. Our allies continue to receive the output of the American arms industry just like they did six months ago.

In fact, the latest news is that Trump is expanding our circle of friends when it comes to advanced weapons, offering India the opportunity to purchase F-35s.

It’s important to remember that Musk and DOGE are starting a negotiation and anchoring with a very low initial offer. That’s not where the cuts will end up. But it gets the counterparty to imagine that pain and then when we land at a 10-20% cut (or whatever), they’ll think, “Whew! That’s not that bad!”
Then you wouldn't have RSS feeds in the first place. I'm talking about sites that decide to have them for one reason or another.

I suppose, but it should mostly be a quick matter to switch away from it.
What I understand (from having attended some Dutch government meetings about this), is that companies are liable and should make an assessment of all third party libraries that they are using with respect to the risk involved with cyber security. Furthermore, they should actively monitor any security updates of those third party libraries and incorporate fixes in their own software and push those to users of their software. This does include embedded software in the devices they sell.

This applies to all software that is part of a commercial interaction, no matter whether the other party has to pay for the software or not. The software could be part of a device or be part of a certain service.

I understood that as long as the developers of open software are not involved in a commercial interaction, they cannot be held liable. I guess that if you receive some kind of support (a grant) for developing open source software, you are not immediately in a commercial interaction. But if you have some kind of agreement with an organization to develop or maintain open source software specific for that organization, that could count as commercial interaction.
On season length: the NBA moved to an 82-game season in 1967.
When the choice is between being (perhaps, somewhat) money-poor and being intellectually poor, it's easy to understand. But not everyone is wired that way.
> It's surprising people are denying his contributions to Rust.

I don't think that's what's happening here.

A lot of the rhetoric around all of these situations has a framing of "Rust people" coming into the kernel, and then getting into fights with "Kernel people." It's often combined with various stereotypes of each group, that the Rust folks are younger, less experienced, that the kernel folks have been around the block a few times, etc.

But that framing just isn't the case. The people involved are both: they've been working on the kernel for a long time, and then want to use Rust to improve it.

So if you read your parent very literally, sure. But if you read it within this context, people are not saying that he doesn't write Rust code, they're saying that this idea of "Rust people" is irrelevant to what's going on.
arXiv used to have mirrors all over the world that got cut when the Cornell University Library did downsizing around 2005.
A universal phenomenon of California democrats is that they're always advocating and pursuing changes but never changing anything. It's been some twenty years of CEQA reform pursuit. Democratic Party control: Legislature from 1996-present day; executive from 1999-2003, 2011-present day.

In California politics, only Republicans pass things. Democrats always pursue and advocate.
sci-hub is still used by professionals even though it is illegal
Is it safe if you fully control it? You are subject to pressure too.
That’s a factor too. My stock tires were quite soft, though they were a tire that was also used on non EVs in Nissans lineup.
I had a similar experience. I think counting calories really does help in recalibrating your instincts around food. It even pushes you toward healthier options. It also naturally pushes you toward less calorie dense food. I remember a conversation with myself where it really clicked “I could eat this massive salad with ground beef and balsamic and feel full for hours or I can eat two microwave burritos and still feel hungry.”
At a certain point darcs was fixed to make the exponential merge case much more rare, though it has never been entirely removed. At least from that point on, it has always been possible to use darcs productively just by avoiding or working around those very conflict-heavy merge scenarios. Regular darcs users internalise those working habits and so rarely encounter the problem in practice.

If you do encounter a slow merge with darcs, the normal practice is to treat that as a mistake, step back and re-do your commits to be less conflicting - not to waste time waiting, ending up with a very slow merge in your history.

The original exponential merge corner case, and subsequent lack of a clear prevention mechanism or even clear description of the issue, has had a big anti-marketing impact, and has probably kept darcs out of the limelight ever since the departure of the original lead developer, despite a small heroic band of maintainers working on it to this day.
Correction: nothing is safe.
> Geez, it's almost like Russia handed them a priority checklist of organizations that needed to go toothless as soon as possible. CIA influence in Europe, aid to Ukraine, nuclear strike capability...

Trump and Musk have a penchant for Alpha men - Putin and Xi. Have you ever heard them talk against any of them? There was minor criticism of Xi from T during COVID-19 though, but that's it. Whatever they are doing is very strategic! First they wiped off all the credibility of the media and during that process - bought conservative political YouTuber commentators to get the Stag votes. Now, pick any YouTube video about Trump or republicans, it almost has all the positive comments about them; Meta has mixed though now, before swearing-in, it was all positive though there as well.

They could have taken a methodical approach to federal purge, not sure what's the rush. Whatever they are doing, it has all the ingredients to start a civil war. It's not going to end well.
mmm, blocking everything not http/2.0 is also blocking legit browser, while blocking http/1.0 does not block bots (at least not ChatGPT); blocking non-browsers with $http_sec_fetch_mode works as expected.
> The actual thing they did is deregulate their (residential) electricity market, which only Massachusetts followed suit with.

California did that for a few years. Auctions every half hour, everyone pays the spot price. It was too exploitable by energy traders and resulted in blackouts. Also, PG&E went bankrupt, after a century as a regulated utility.
The current system trades energy mostly on a day-ahead basis, which is more stable.
I've never lived in a city or suburb in the USA that has such a distribution of grocery stores.
Yes. That's why funding exists.
Go is not an alternative to PHP, and I say this as someone who likes (and uses) Go. It is more performant, yes, but it is also very verbose - I would hate to develop a CRUD (web) app in it. Not to mention that any data handling is more or less manual. Great language for some services, but not for a webapp.

Also PHP is far from slow. The code is precompiled ("cached") and the common operations are optimized as hell. IME the slow apps are usually just missing some MySQL indexes or similar.
We don't need plenty. We just need a few that do to create this situation. That's the power of software. One software engineer can create and maybe even run a company that serves the entire world.
I'm surprised it isn't common for companies to just block inbound external email by default.

Most of the time I have an inbox rule enabled that just deletes anything not from the corporate domain and a few other known services.
TL;DR: Cost looks to be about $2K, they sell the 3D printed parts for 200Euro, the control board for 220Euro, and a kit for 2,000Euro. Looks very cool, but it's out of my "build it and see what I can do with it" budget, I'd need a real reason to build it.
The full model also gets into these infinite cycles. I just tried asking the old river crossing boat problem but with two goats and a cabbage and it goes on and on forever.
With the quantification of sport, it has becoming increasingly common for people who only look at the statistics to assume that some global strategic minima has been achieved. In reality, in every competitive invasion-based game strategies adapt.

The adaption varies by sport - without going into the weeds, basketball is less random than other invasion sports so there has been typically been a higher premia on player talent so you see high levels of strategic adaption to individual players...by contrast, you don't see this in soccer to the same degree, apart from the top one or two players - but it happens all the same. For some reason, the assumption is that without quantification none of this stuff would be obvious...but if you look at the history of almost every invasion sport there have been strategic adaptions over years/decades/centuries because this stuff is obvious to people playing it.

To be clear, this doesn't happen in non-invasion sports. There is no strategic adaption so you see interesting things like the ability to compare statistical records over long periods (to a certain degree, over very long periods the rules often change and there can be adaption due to generally increasing physical capacity of athletes).

In other words, there is always someone who wants to spoil the fun. The beauty of invasion games is that there is no global minima (and there is a profound lack of joy in non-invasion sports when someone has a higher level than the competition, and just annihilates everyone every match).
you're misreading me: I'm coming at you like you think a drive-by-link-drop to a niche product is giving a good answer to GPs valid criticism that winter biking is not very comfortable during common winter occurrences. I think you should consider a wider perspective, and when I see such behavior online I like to give a little snark back.
I'm gonna guess they meant the other direction.
How will the Trump tariffs affect construction?
This is exactly my experience. Nearly every dev on my team can dive into the details and scale that service effectively, but it’s rarely worth it.

If an engineer costs $100/hour, scaling an extra $100/month (or even an extra $1k/month) is generally a no brainer. That money is almost always better served towards shipping product.
Unfortunately Nissan did not put such a tire on my Ariya. Good range and very quiet but very soft and only 9/32 from factory means lots of people have to replace em after 15 to 20k.

I’m replacing earlier given poor snow and rain performance. They can have em back when my lease is up.
> At a certain point a doctor can't control what you chose to do at home with your prescription and that doesn't mean you shouldn't have people who would use it responsibly not receive it even if it means some will abuse it

I'd like to think that most of those decisions are coming from datasets that suggest, on average, certain medications tend to lead to abuse, including from people with no prior history of abuse.

I'm quite libertarian in a lot of my views, but this particular one on lax drug controls I've never really been able to buy into.
There’s an asymptote of safety. You can be beaten with a hose to hand it over if it’s in the cloud or not.

But if it’s in the cloud then they don’t need to beat you with a hose. They just legislate that they can take it and then do it.

My data is safer if they have to beat me with a hose to get it first.
Look up the gather step.
