Journalistic integrity comes and goes. The Washington Post seemed like a beacon of truthfulness when Trump attacked the free press and they adopted the slogan “Democracy dies in darkness.” Recently they have forgone truthfulness in favor of “truthiness”. Their hypocrisy on fact-checking Sanders and the Times’ calling him “Other” when he was in the lead were very telling.

Journalists with corporate sponsors are just advertisers by another name.

This is the perfect example of cutting off one’s nose to spite the face.

All this bullshit about providing user experience is hilarious. You use the ad stack: Google AMP. This is an engineering cop-out.

There are no “good guy” companies. Stop electing obstructionists who have no interest in governing. Regulation is the only solution.

He’s lying. There is only one such comment and it is laughably obtuse. Influencing opinion without addressing the topic is exactly what Reddit is for.

Hopefully a mod can change the link.

Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. The media wanted a live, reality TV-style event and didn’t get it. Last night was supposed to be huge for ad revenue and now they’re out for blood. Imagine waiting patiently for conclusive results in every state. How are they supposed to run ads if people aren’t glued to the screen?

What’s bad for the 24-hour news cycle is good for Democracy.

No one in this thread is thinking. This is a thread for Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt.

It does. There are types in the standard library for non-zero numbers[1]. While it would involve writing a wrapper, Rust does provide for customizing the behavior of operators[2]. The example implementation for Div (the "/" operator) even shows how to make a type that panics when trying to divide by zero. One could also return a Result so that trying to divide by zero can fail gracefully.

You point out that Netflix has usage data as if you have access to that data. Some people like ten-hour reality TV binges and some people like thoughtful content. Netflix is just mirroring cable TV. Since Netflix uses product placement, especially in its age-targeted content, quantity of viewing time is more profitable than quality.

The topic is fascinating to think about and I was unaware that some people do not "hear" their thoughts or use an internal voice. But I got stuck on this amazing perfect storm of millennial blogger cliches. I thought it was a joke. After this I could not stop reading it as a parody. The word "literally" is used four times.

Nice FUD there.

Oh my god what if they're foreign? Isn't it terrifying to think about foreigners? Better take that fear into the voting booth with you.

I think that everyone who uses HN is aware of this project by now. You re-post this every day.

What software do you use for the kiosk? I have been thinking of doing this with Ubuntu Core using the Chromium snap and a custom website which it refreshes.

I still use the iPhone SE as a daily driver and there is an active second-hand market for them. I understand that it's spare tech but this could be done by an SoC board that costs less than $50. The iPhone, even a small one, has an expensive touch screen. You could probably sell an iPhone SE for at least $110, enough for a couple of Raspberry Pi 4 4GB systems. That's a cool project but it is a puzzling use of hardware.

People being people. I disagree with both the author’s code choices and his treatment. I imagine most feel the same. Rust will be fine. The lessons learned about choosing dependencies wisely and taking responsibility for those choices will be scarce.

Running software is always more of a performance than an institution.

That’s only part of it. She is also a woman and a foreigner and she is reasonably well-educated. Americans spend more on the war efforts of other countries than we do to our own public schools. Fear, xenophobia and intellectual insecurity are part of this phenomenon as well. She is also economically privileged and Americans are increasingly divided by income and income-related health factors like physical fitness and addiction. Taking advice from a wealthy, educated European female is simply not an option without opening the door to some uncomfortable observations.

These people make take some unscientific ideas to their graves but they will also take a lot of fear and hatred with them.

It is surprising to see that Steve Jobs is the most-featured person on a site that says it is dedicated to “unsung heroes”. It looks like it’s just about Apple in general.

Going from “all about Jobs” to “look at our cutting-edge emoji designs” is a nice encapsulation of Apple history. I know that many people hope the period from Jobs’ death to Ives’ departure was just a phase. But it feels like we’re down to the wire product-wise. The new MBP is a nice start but before long the iPhone SE will reach end-of-life and I just don’t want a flat brick with three cameras and no audio port.

> over 4000 mentions on online medical aggregator PubMed

That is a weird statistic to choose for professing a proof of viability. I’m sure cancer has more than 4000 mentions on PubMed, does that mean cancer is good for me?

Why not cite a review of relevant studies instead? Quoting a meaningless piece of information is suspicious and lazy.

They are free as in free beer. Your “time and money are direct equivalents” argument is nonsense even to the wealthiest people and sheer lunacy to the people who most need free coding tools.

They seem to have nice products but when people compare JetBrains tooling to Vim, Emacs and VSCode everyone seems to leave out the fact that those tools are 100% free. I think it’s important for coding to be open to as many people as possible and the tools are the point of entry.

VSCode has out-of-the-box support for JS and TS including autocomplete, visual debugging and variable definition lookup. VSCode is an IDE.

There is no link to the actual data in the article (https://www.wellness-heaven.de/wellness/study-theft-in-hotel...) and even it claims that mattresses were the least commonly-stolen items on the list. It also provides no information on frequency of theft. Are there 300 pens stolen for every one mattress? Fewer than 1 in 20 4 and 5-star hotels even reported mattress theft. Bereft of meaningful data and fluffed up with speculation, this is out of place on HN.

This whole thing is satire, right?

A scrum master or maintainer needs to proofread and prevent this. That is is the purpose of code review. It’s too bad that repetition does not stand out as a mistake to so many with whom you have worked.

They call themselves NulledCast. If they operate as and refer to themselves as a podcast, what are “media folks” supposed to call it?

Redux adds complexity as well, but I agree that the code looks to be much more repetitive than is necessary. I have never seen multiple calls to setState put one after another like that and it does seem disingenuous to make it look like people write React class components that way.

Art speaks for itself. If you have to sit down with a reporter from the Washington Post and explain it then the art itself is not the goal.

No one is disputing that Twitter is popular. Likes and retweets will not save the Internet Archive anymore than thoughts and prayers. People who are not willing to click a link will not be willing to make a donation.

There is nothing challenging in her work, as another comment noted, but there is also nothing honest in it. Zardulu is an attention-seeking persona with nothing to say aside from “Look at me!”
