You can actually formally do just that, HN maintains a highlights list which you can email them nominations for:

So if the total bill doubles from last pay period period, it is said that it has _increased_ 1x.
If you replaced nurses with gig workers and uber for nurses with something like WeWork this would just be like every other leak we talk about on HN.
If you just want a better c/c++ afaik that's zig, but I have no experience with it
It's unfortunate that things are the way they are, but I'm not sure there's a better option. If you give an inch, abusers will take a mile.
I think AI is well suited to this role, especially with new models being cable of learning and updating their weights as they go without needing retraining/finetuning.
On my Debian box, I build the podman release target in a chroot, extract the archive in /opt/, and use stow to install/uninstall the package. You'll also want the latest crun, but which I also place in stow and install with stow.
Some straight up list it all, and instead of selling people's information to other people, they sell removals to the informations owner. Presumably this is a loop hole to whatever legislation made most sites have a "Do Not Sell My Info" opt out.
What you do is look up a data broker opt out guide, and that gives you a handy list of data brokers to search. E.g.
It's surprising usable, but I found out that recent versions windows don't support sse4.1 (Microsoft has provided escape hatches to upgrade old hw to Win11, but requiring sse4.2 is a hard requirement now), so Windows 10 is the final version of windows this machine will get. I suspect in few years I'll probably move it to Linux, but for browsing and document editing it's a wonderfully competent machine.
So basically they got to the dev that controlled its online presence, and pressured him into removing it and abandoning the project. Naturally this scared off the other devs. So it's dead in the sense that no one is maintaining it and it was deplatformed.
While nothing is stopping anyone from continuing the project, the community is fragmented (there's a bunch of mirrors/forks but no primary fork), and there was zero knowledge transfer - anyone picking this up has to build their experience with both the code base and switch internals from scratch.
> Beta releases are only for testing on NEW repos - do not use for production.
Past self has implemented a mandate that future self get up at this time. Future self is a sleepy, lazy, point of sale that can't be trusted.
Sample size of 1. I used to "wake up" and turn off my alarm and have zero recollection of it. I got the most annoying mechanical clock and packed it in a box that I had to unpack before I could turn it off. It got louder as I removed the packaging. The prolonged activity in order to shut off the alarm is ultimately what helped me fully wake up.
I suspect it's because unlike the lotto and games of chance, people can delude themselves into thinking they "know" the sport. It's not a gambling if they know better. It's also easy to externalize the blame for your loses "they would have won if not for <bad call, bad play, bad management, injury, weather, etc... Or combination thereof>"
You can dip your toe in betting on the obvious mismatched, where it's pretty clear who will win. This is priced into the bookmaking, so the payout is little, but this helps people convince themselves they do know the sport and chase longer odds with better payouts.
And then you get sunk cost fallacy, as they lose, they convince themselves they can win it back because they learned from before and their system will work this time.
It's basically WarGames. The only winning move is not to play. I don't answer the door when I'm certain it's a salesman. I don't make eye contact/respond to the ones that are setup outside of a store. Same with the ones setup in malls/stores (looking at you, Costco).
To qualify my previous comment, it's not that saying no is seen as rude, it's that salesmen are beyond rude if you try to say no. I have to hide in my home, pretend I'm renting/house sitting, etc because it's less hassle than opening the door and saying no.
Like canceling cable, home internet. It's not that we're using something else, not using it at all, don't want it. It's "we're moving/going to jail for 5 years/dying Thursday and thus cannot continue using this service"
I had a door to door salesman ask if I was racist after I told him I wasn't interested, as if to try to pressure me into proving I wasn't a racist by listening to his pitch/buying into whatever he was selling. It's gotten to the point where I have a video door bell so know when I can skip it all by not answering//pretending I'm not home.
It's not interesting, engaging, or educational. So as an growth strategy, it sharply slumps off after the initial launch post, and there's zero value to the reader aside from knowing it exists (again, initial launch post).
So it's a call to arms to reevaluate what you're doing. If you're posting number goes up, it's really no different from building in private, it's likely a wasted effort on your part and unnecessary noise to the community. Or maybe return to the old meaning of building in public. Create value for people, actually have a dialogue, and that'll pay dividends (that's the hope anyways) .
There's like dozen scenarios where you end up with 0 byte files with no warning, error, etc. Sometimes it's an uploading issue, sometimes it's a syncing issue, etc. And they are still open, mutli-year, issues.
I ran into a version of it where existing uploads were replaced with zero byte versions, so I had to manually run a script to find them and I restore a pervious version. If it tried to do other things, like photos, document editing, collab, etc and did those poorly that would be fine. Failing at the most central task of just storing the data is not. It's still alpha quality, and if one intends to use it, it's critical you setup monitoring infrastructure to ensure file integrity (backups should go without saying).
Unfortunately Twitter doesn't do post mortems of events/outages, so we probably won't know the real story.
I probably won't use bcachefs until a similar level of adoption/community support exists.
The author could have simply written nothing, convinced themselves they were right about staying closed source or...
The author could have just ignored all the feedback they got and stayed closed source or...
In the face of opposition, really dug in an tried to double down and further justify staying closed source or...
Take the time to sort the constructive criticism out from the negative garbage, digest it, and try to grow from it.
They should be commended for being open minded and putting in the effort to grow. And to directly address the GP's comment, in order to grow the conversation has to start somewhere. You learn/grow through experience/engagement, and that's exactly what the author is doing, and in a pleasant, tactful way.
E.g. For physical harm, perhaps I was upright/walking when something scary was on, and in my fright I stumbled/fell/flailed etc and experienced some bodily harm/death. I could totally understand and accept forced arbitration in this instance.
However, I don't expect that to continue for eternity. If I watched Disney plus for a day, canceled my subscription, and went to see Frozen on Ice years later, I wouldn't expect the Disney Plus ToS to have any bearing.
But anyways, back on point, I don't think the average person is legally competent enough to enter into these agreements. Laymen can read and argue what we expect/understand something to mean, but that's very different from what it legally means. This is why I think a ToS/Policy page are not good stand alone solutions.
That using a Disney plus trial promo several years ago would force arbitrartion in a wrongful death suit stemming from a visit to a physical establishment is well beyond, IMO, a reasonable expectation.
Ultimately those are written by lawyers for lawyers. They're extremely long, verbose, and hard for a layman to parse. And that's on purpose. It's a dark pattern to get people to agree because they lack the time to read and to understand [0][1][2].
Reading isn't the same as understanding, and that's a separate bag of worms which comes up all the time in legal affairs. Take the recent Disney fiasco. I don't think the average person would read the ToS and come to the conclusion that Disney can more or less kill your loved ones with impunity in their parks if you watch Disney Plus. Not that other lawyers agree either, but apparently that's the understanding of Disney's lawyers.
Not that pop ups, modals, and warnings are much better. But I think a clear warning/opt out pop up is far better than a link buried in account settings or policy/ToS.

That's true, but only if we're running into short term shortages or it's actually becoming scarce due to depletion. It's possible for a resource to be finite but bountiful over large time scales.
Renewable/sustainable resources usually have a large infrastructure cost, have yet to benefit from decades of process refinement, and until they've capture a significant market share can't reap the benefits of mass production.
So it's expected that new sustainable methods will cost more until they catch up. There's vertical and horizontal integration efficiencies to work out, there's supply chains to optimize, production methods to scale and optimize, market share to capture, etc. If anything, I'm skeptical of things claiming to be better cheaper overnight successes - it's too good to be true.
And then people still expect to connect their phones to the car, for calls/reading texts etc, so you still have to support that in some way... and people will expect that to play nice with the audio playback features (calls pause/unpause music, etc)
Since we're already supporting a phone connection, then it just makes life easier to bring your own experience. The auto maker supplies the interface, you bring your own apps, data plan, etc via carplay/android auto.
Personally, I find it's a huge step forward to whatever OEMs make in house which aren't updated/obsolete in a few years.
