language, structure. look how much negation there is. the construction "no A, no B, no, C" is used several times.

or another example, the following sentence:

"handlers/ is flat — no subdirectories"

who writes like this? you'd just write "handlers/ is a flat folder" or similar.

the identical rhythm and structure of these low-effort AI slop posts is so distracting that it makes me unable to evaluate their substance.

even the best high school plagiarists know that you're meant to rewrite the sentences you've stolen. why can't these slop authors be bothered to do that with all the time they're proportedly saving by using AI in the first place?

exactly. if anti-fragility is only achieved through robustness, what is the point of the distinction?

Openverse at Automattic | Remote | Data & Infrastructure Engineers | Full-time | https://automattic.com/work-with-us/

Openverse (previously Creative Commons Search) is a search engine that allows openly licensed and public domain works to be discovered and used by everyone. We currently index over 500 million Creative Commons licensed images and intend to add audio and video support. The project joined WordPress.org this year and continues to grow in users and the number of indexed items. All of our code is open source and we welcome community contribution.

We are currently hiring for two roles:

* A Data Engineer to help us discover and ingest new openly-licensed media at scale | https://automattic.com/work-with-us/job/data-engineer-openve... | Python, Apache Airflow, Apache Spark * An Infrastructure Engineer to help manage and optimize our AWS deployment | https://automattic.com/work-with-us/job/infrastructure-engin... | AWS, Terraform, Docker

Come work on open source codebases that ensure access to openly licensed media for the entire web. At the very least, check out our developer community and learn more here: https://make.wordpress.org/openverse/

Most people I know work on ads...to get paid. I feel like the author is really working hard to justify his work to himself and falling far short of the bar.

Totally agree with the diagnosis of the problem but not the solution. I don't think switching the color is good UX—if I know the top of the page has a big green button', I'm not going to expect that button to have conditional behavior.

Calling a downsizing a “right-sizing” is so infantalizing and condescending

A similar tool in this space is Jason Miller's (@developit) WMR:

https://github.com/preactjs/wmr

that command just sets an environment variable `NEXT_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=1`, I wouldn't necessarily consider it system level magic.

I think this is great podcast episode on how political views aren’t really as newly polarized or extreme as people think:

Does anyone know what happened to the original ~200k images with CC0 licenses on Unsplash, and how they can be found?

For context: https://creativecommons.org/2017/06/22/unsplash/

"Following the switch to the new Unsplash-branded license, there is no marking of works that were previously shared in the public domain using CC0. The Unsplash API restricts/obscures the full CC0 collection, which we believe to be about 200,000 images, but it isn’t possible to access the complete archive. In order to ensure that the commons is maintained, we hope that Unsplash will either a) properly mark all the works shared using CC0 and/or b) make available a full archive of the CC0 works so they can be shared on a platform that supports open licensing and public domain tools. Previous platforms that have gone under or abandoned open license tools have shared their CC archives for this purpose. We hope Unsplash will follow the same path."

there's an astonishingly silly GitHub issue thread linked in the comments of the post: https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/issues/1482

This is great; nice work. The only feature I see missing is the ability to edit the resulting JSON file. This would also allow users to base their theme off of existing themes, which would be my primary use case for something like this.

Often I love a theme except for one or two small details, and it'd be nice to edit them in this tool.

how do I have a link in a paragraph?

this seems to have less to do with Next.js and is more of a design decision. Each card has a native anchor tag inside, and when you tab through these links the card is ignored and the links are focused. The card itself is a 'fake' js link, that redirects when clicked.

i personally would've made the entire card an anchor link, but either approach is possible in Next.js

This is nice!

I have some styles I use. Screenshots:

I don't love when dark modes skew blue, so tried to keep it neutral with blacks and greys

``` @media (prefers-color-scheme:dark) { body { background-color: #2a2b2e; } #hnmain { background-color: rgb(32, 33, 36); }

  a:link, .hnmore a:link, a:visited, td, .c00, .c00 a:link {
    color: #e8eaed;
  }
  .subtext, .comhead a:link, .subtext a:visited, span.subtext a:link, .subtext a:visited {
    color: #9aa0a6;
  }

} ```

@adamwathan thoughts on so-called 'silent' extends in scss, ie, the whole '%class-name' thing? Could that work as a sufficient substitute for the LESS class mixins?

end of discussion i guess?

This would be true except that there are fixed costs of living. Say Tim Cook was making three million less -- is he going to have to make lifestyle changes to spend 3 million less a year? No way.

A person making 60k a year losing 15% of their income? There's likely to be significant lifestyle changes.

Doesn't this sound problematic? It's almost a form of political correctness. Joe-6-Pack may demand (and receive) respect, but lives under the consequences of crippling income inequality and corporate welfare.

Can I ask what has prompted this "investigation" of sorts by Facebook? Just the election? I wonder who is putting pressure on them to straighten this out.
