dariusj18··on Ex-Reddit CEO on Twitter moderation
But also an example of how moderation or lack therein would help to serve a particular end goal. ex. HackerNews is a pretty well moderated forum, however sometimes the content (PC being related to technology) is within the rules, but the behavior it elicited in the other users is detrimental to the overall experience.
dariusj18··on Ex-Reddit CEO on Twitter moderation
It seems apt that the most engaged comment in the thread is a meta comment which derails any conversation about the content of the post itself.
dariusj18··on Ex-Reddit CEO on Twitter moderation
Does anyone else think it's brilliant that he put advertisements inside his own thread?
dariusj18··on The Tesla Cyberquad for kids has been recalled for not meeting safety standards
From my limited experience, I imagine there is a touch screen interface to do so. =p
dariusj18··on US economy returned to growth last quarter, expanding 2.6%
I think that is a good point, and one of the reasons this inflationary period seems to be so widely misunderstood and contentious. We just spent over 2 years dealing with a pandemic, there will be side effects caused by the pandemic as well as the solutions to ease its impact.

In regard to car prices, I would say that the prices themselves contribute to the inflation statistics, but they are not caused by inflationary pressure.

dariusj18··on US economy returned to growth last quarter, expanding 2.6%
This is pretty obvious knock on effect of the pandemic too. Inflation isn't making it so that every new car is selling at or above MSRP currently.
dariusj18··on Next.js 13
I think the compromise would be an optional build parameter that allows this functionality.
dariusj18··on Excess Death Rates for Republicans and Democrats During the Covid-19 Pandemic
I have found myself still wearing my mask in my car just because I forgot to take it off.
dariusj18··on Leonardo Syndrome
Sounds like someone needed a Scrum master
dariusj18··on Matter – Protocol to connect compatible devices and systems with one another
I guess we'll just throw out the W3C too
dariusj18··on FBI agent pleads guilty to wiping hard-drive containing exculpatory evidence
I wonder if the drive was erased to harm the defendant, or to protect someone else who was recorded doing crime.
dariusj18··on Michael Jordan: “Republicans Buy Sneakers Too”
Nike is not a shoe company, they are an image company who use shoes as their medium.
dariusj18··on Ask HN: Who do you talk to about system architecture and design?
Thank You!
dariusj18··on Ask HN: Who do you talk to about system architecture and design?
Was this downvoted because it was a joke or because people didn't get the joke? I can accept the former, but not the later.
dariusj18··on Ask HN: Who do you talk to about system architecture and design?
Nice to see someone born in Florida represented.
dariusj18··on Earth sets new record for shortest day
No, that's super far off astronomically speaking.
dariusj18··on What the Hell Is Up with Dilbert?
It is an understandable situation, but there are more people in the comic than the main characters. There are often consultants, designers, dates, and other characters introduced all the time. I'm not someone who believes you need to shoehorn in diversity, it's just something to consider in this day and age. When introducing a new primary, secondary or background character, why wouldn't they be X? If the answer is, "because they contemporaneously are more likely to be Y", sometimes that's because of systematic problems that don't self correct without active social awareness.

I had forgotten about Asok, of course race and ethnicity get even more charged when you get into Indian culture and American corporate culture.

dariusj18··on What the Hell Is Up with Dilbert?
The token hire strip would be funny if it wasn't an actual reflection of the strip and it's lack of diversity (and the obvious reticence of the creator to consider diversity as important). What would have been a smarter and less controversial move would be to subtly introduce people of color over time, then add a strip about a diversity hire, with the other characters visibly getting ticked off.
dariusj18··on The serotonin theory of depression: a systematic umbrella review of the evidence
Pathways that were established when those chemical imbalances were active.
dariusj18··on The serotonin theory of depression: a systematic umbrella review of the evidence
I've always suspected that (sometimes) it doesn't have to be a consistent chemical imbalance, but one that triggers creation of negative feedback loops in the brain.
dariusj18··on What I wish someone would have told me about using RabbitMQ (2020)
I looked it up but couldn't really find information, what would you say is the difference between a "message queue", a "job queue" and a "message bus"?
dariusj18··on Memory.lol
> The right to be forgotten is distinct from the right to privacy. The right to privacy constitutes information that is not publicly known, whereas the right to be forgotten involves removing information that was publicly known at a certain time and not allowing third parties to access the information.
dariusj18··on Memory.lol
I'm not sure this counts as privacy, it's all data published publicly by the people themselves.
dariusj18··on I've been abusing HTTP Status Codes in my APIs for years
Looks like HN people are changing that as we speak
dariusj18··on I've been abusing HTTP Status Codes in my APIs for years
Don't get me started on HTTP 300 support
dariusj18··on Venice to introduce entry tickets and fees
Planning on going to Italy, steering clear of Venice. I've been a few decades ago and it was fine, but the current crush of people is insane. I'm not looking to stand cheek to cheek at Piazza San Marco.
dariusj18··on Large Hadron Collider discovers three new exotic particles
It'd be cool if they could be created and combined in specific combinations and quantities to create new particles that wouldn't exist due to natural formation. Sounds like a good sci-fi mechanic, creating new particles without the Higgs Boson to facilitate FTL or at least some sort of anti-gravity.
dariusj18··on Things I wish everyone knew about Git (Part I)
TortoiseSVN is IMO the best way to do SVN. I never got into TortoiseGit though.
dariusj18··on Things I wish everyone knew about Git (Part I)
Tons of people have tried creating GUIs to make using git easier, and many do, but where they fail is when they try and change the terminology to make it easier to understand.
dariusj18··on I analyzed more than 7M developer jobs
As someone who has worked with dying languages, that is wrong. There are always blog posts about dying languages too.
