One of the few times I don't check comments first, and yep can confirm I should have. The moment AI showed up in this article I closed it. Sigh.

PREFACE: I am politically neutral. You can all fight it out for yourselves, it's fun to watch.

I think TikTok is filling a void for Democrat messaging that Republicans/Conservatives have ie: Fox, conservative youtubers, breitbart, etc. The left is doesn't have this

Fox/Breitbart -> The left has plenty of media outlets that pitch their side, like CNN.

Conservative Youtubers -> There's not a single liberal/democrat Youtuber? weird...

Not to mention that, up until it started imploding, Twitter (and Facebook to an extent) were both considered heavily left-leaning if not outright liberal. Saying that "the left doesn't have a way to get their message out" just feels outright dishonest to say.

*EDIT:* I had a long conversation with a good friend of mine about the distinctions between "liberal" and "left" here. I acknowledge that I was make an incorrect (and commonly dangerous) equivalence between the two of them, which makes the claim of "left" not having as much media outlet more true (though I would still argue that it's certainly not to the extreme extent suggested by the parent).

why pile more suffering on top of their current amount?

I fully agree with this advice as to a way to communicate your actual feelings in a sentence. Emojis don't work here, but the difference between

"I have no idea what I'm doing... :D"

and

"I have no idea what I'm doing... :("

is a large one, and having that to communicate it is quite handy.

THAT SAID, to @ccakes -- while I agree with your statement, it unfortunately doesn't help the OP. They specifically said that they have a problem with INTERPRETING comments in the worst possible light. The solution for that will not be to use more emojis themselves -- they would need their coworkers to do so.

I know this type of comment (and my own) is more common to reddit and commonly frowned upon in HN threads, but by god this made my morning thank you.

I mean this as a genuine question (not an indictment), and as a complete blockchain/crypto noob who has just been a spectator:

Why is this the case? Isn't this like one of the best use cases of the blockchain in crypto? Why would they not utilize the technology to prevent this exact thing from happening? Are there tradeoffs I'm not aware of?

this is why Elon told Twitter engineers to print their code - he's a boomer programmer who grew up in this era when that really was how you read and reviewed code

Just to clear up a misconception: Elon Musk isn't and never was a programmer. He never went to school for it, never had a job in it, and his wikipedia mentions nothing about even having the ability to code. He at one point needed some of his devs' help running a Python program. His reasons for having them print out the code at Twitter are almost certainly not due to "that's how it used to be".

TO BE CLEAR: This comment isn't a dig at Elon. I personally dislike him, but this fact about him doesn't make him a worse person. Just clearing up an obvious misconception that @yodon has about him.

That format refers to 4chan boards. That one is “pol(itics)”

Shit outta luck

Also very interested in this - I have a mini 2 as well and if I can get it to follow me that would be AWESOME.

I was going to post my own reply to this topic, but @stoeckley said literally all the things I was going to.

My ONLY regret about getting an M1 Air was not being able to hold out for the M2 to get that sweet, sweet magsafe charger. Outside of that, I +100 everything @stoeckley said.

quick search:

Davis publicly posted his Social Security number as part of a 2007 ad campaign to promote the company's identity theft protection services. However, Davis was a victim of 13 cases of identity theft between 2007 and 2008.

The problem here I think is that you miss the original point of the top-level parent. They weren't claiming that EVs emit more CO2 from driving, but from _manufacturing_.

Whether or not this claim is true I can't say for sure, because nobody on either side of this discussion in this thread has provided links/proof to back up/refute these claims, so it's just a bunch of people throwing numbers at each other with no context.

The feedback the agency is seeking is limited to safety considerations. Matters "such as how the dimensions of passenger seats might relate to passenger comfort or convenience" are not part of its request for comments, the FAA said in its Federal Register notice.

This title feels like some real clickbait to get people to think they can rant about how small/bad the seats are now. Suggest changing title to be more clear @dang

A bit simplified on both parts -- a fish CAN leave too, and many do, by just ripping their mouth open to remove the hook by wriggling enough.

For people on Gitlab, your point about "downloading the code and moving on" really only applies to the simplest point of use on Gitlab. Anybody using Gitlab's CI/CD pipelines has everything in their repo(s) fully setup only for that, and not for other CI/CD offerings. Moving their stuff is often much much much more work than "just download your code", and sometimes with time/money constraints, completely infeasible in the short term.

Seems like you're outside the US, so I can share some fun little garage facts:

(context: I live in the american quintessential "suburbs", cul-de-sac and all.)

Around my parts, garages are ironically barely, if EVER, used for the cars! Something that surprised us when we moved here. Many houses around here are good examples of american excess; I've seen a couple houses with like between 4-6 cars(!) and all of them are just parked in the driveway (remember with all that space we also have room for like 6-8 cars in a driveway parked 2-by-2 behind each other). People just park all ("all" lol) their cars in the driveway, and then the garage is used for any number of things: - "shops" for wood/metalworking, or crafts - table/chairs for those "garage startups" - giant freezers for meats/breads/etc for larger families - massive amounts of STUFF -- I've seen way too many garages here that are just filled with hoarder-levels of STUFF. It's disturbing.

Personally, our garage is a 2-car garage, and we put our 1 car in there, and I use the rest for my little hobbyist carpentry area. Not enough space for a full workshop, but when I need more room I pull the car out to the driveway for a bit, then put things away and pull the car back in when I'm finished. That works well enough for me for now.

American suburbs are a bizarre place for sure. Hope that clears some stuff up!

In the video, they call out that it's "about 5 or 6 hundred square feet". An average 2 car garage is ~360 square feet, so it'd definitely closer to a 3-4 car garage.

Oh haha I assumed windows since you said you used to be on linux, and Mac doesn't have an Alt key! My mistake. Well at the very least it seems there are FF plugins that allow you to modify shortcuts, so you could probably rebind Option+D to the same control as Cmd+L/F6 and that might work.

I recommend the Primitive Technology channel for this! He uses almost all of these to some extent.

In addition, using the mean (average) is deceptive, because it is skewed by the few people that earn a lot (Jeff Bezos walks into a bar). Using the median would make more sense

Confused by this comment -- the source I linked IS using median, not mean. I guess that does mean (heh) that the number isn't skewed as much by higher numbers, but can still be skewed by the larger number of part-time high school kids too.

I'm on Windows 10 with FF right now and Alt+D just worked for me, along with Cmd+L and F6 as other have said. I think your muscle memory should be just fine. Time to switch!

No, according to https://www.census.gov/library/publications/2021/demo/p60-27... the median household income is the US is $67,521 in 2020, which $125 a month is about 2.2% of. If you look at "real median earnings", you get a number of $41,535 which comes to 3.6%. Except that number includes "all workers aged 15 and over" which includes high schoolers part time work, so it's a highly skewed statistic when talking about people who might pay for software or a monthly sub like this.

Neither of those numbers comes close to 5%, which would be a net income of $30,000/y.

Similar, from AJR's "3:30" song:

Someone told me to be selfless // But we are helpless without attention // Wealthy people learn the lesson // And never donate without the press there //

I have a .dev domain that is hosted through Google Domains. I _think_ that Google owns that TLD, or something. They run https://get.dev too.

Another option (better IMO) is "Busuu". It's free and very similar to Duolingo. It has some gamification with streaks but it is way less pushy, plus has a community aspect built in that I really like.

It did a way better job teaching me cyrillic/Russian than Duolingo had up to that point.

A decade of python here.

I have found that Python really can show you what other language is someone's primary language. You can write Python to look VERY Java-like, or very Ruby-like, or many others.

Idiomatic Python does not look like this generally. Another commenter hit it well that this is just badly-hidden Java code written with Python.

Python is what you make it to be; don't let this kind of stuff from random people on the internet scare you into thinking you have to use GoF and Java-like patterns and classes everywhere. You CAN, but only if those are actually _useful_ to you.

Based on the cursor, and my own experience with it, he's actually probably using https://github.com/nostalgic-css/NES.css/ so technically "NES font". But I do agree that it makes this less readable AND less respectable in the end. It's like writing a manifesto in Comic Sans. Serious topics deserve more serious fonts.

You may want to take a look at the various Sherlock Holmes games on steam right now. There is a new one that just came out, and from looking thru them it seems like they try to make such gameplay work. Worth a shot!
