Thanks for the advice :) As for what I expect to happen, as I've said elsewhere here: a conversation, and not unquestioning deferential acceptance of centuries-old privilege.

The normalisation of the rituals is part of the problem. The public proclamations of the accession of Charles to King have included representatives of the state, military, police, and church. They have been made in public spaces. The mildes

Maybe a public conversation about extreme privilege which is backed by the military, the police, the media, and politicians of all stripes. Throw in a discussion about who owns "public" spaces and the laws governing how many peopl

In what way? Precedence of what? "What happened before" in the UK has for thousands of years favoured (to put it mildly) the incumbent powers-that-be. Seems like a convenient way to perpetuate inequality.

The UK media (not just the BBC) continue to profess "amazement" at the speed and efficiency of the transitioning from a dead monarch to a living one. There's been much speaking in awed tones at the pace of the various proclam

The point is surely that it's now potentially far easier to programmatically generate new offensive memes at scale.

Well, the parent post I replied to said this: > Is the knife a murderer or the person who wields it? I attempted to abstract that, to make my response impersonal. The archetype is based on a phrase well known in some countries, but certa

I see this has attracted some downvotes, which is of course fine. However, it would really help improve the quality of this conversation if people could reply here, and perhaps explain objections to the archetype I've described. Perhap

The archetype of this argument is of course the (in)famous "P doesn't Q people, people Q people" * While this is "true", the sense in which it is true is so limited as to be entirely unhelpful. If you manufacture P,

Is there a single movement that rallies scientists and researchers who are dissatisfied with the state of academic publishing? There are occasional posts like this on HN: individuals who declare academic publishing to be bust, and who are w

That's more of a suggestion than an incentive, though.

Get out, then anonymously warn the appropriate financial authority/regulator. Optionally, and if it's safe for you and for them, you might want to anonymously warn the employees like yourself, but this might be impossible or unwis

It raises entirely valid questions, none of which should undermine the patient's experience. Listen to the patient: they're telling us something. To anticipate: "Objective" measures are of course useful, but only form pa

That seems oversimplified. If an individual or organisation collects or creates "information", they could/should consider not only what a thief might do with the information, but what they're collecting it in the first p

To you it's a useful flag. To me it's unnecessary noise. There's very little "written in Java", "written in C" or whatever. I'm sure C/Java programmers would find those eye-catching, but they see

(Not OP) That repo looks like a proof-of-concept which is linked to from an open issue in https://github.com/swc-project/swc which is apparently a "super-fast TypeScript / JavaScript compiler".

To be fair, I think it's both. If the "sausage making" is grotesque, even an exceptional marketer would struggle :) A coder who understands what public signals are valuable can give a marketer something to work with. That mig

Interesting. A sort of "sell convenience" model. I'm a bit out of this loop, but isn't this how several SaaS/PaaS operators work? Provide open-source software but offer paid-for solutions such as hosting and/or

Specifically regarding geothermal energy, this is available due to the gravity that formed the Earth.

As per recent comments here in other threads, I wonder if we could see less "written in Rust" in the titles? I know it's verbatim from TFA's title, but honestly, at this point Rust evangelism feels like proselytising pro

Just wanted to say: nice job! :) I can fully understand you burning out on something like this. How about declaring a time-out period where development is paused while you take a break? Maybe triage bug reports and feature requests in the m

So, the graphic at the top of the article (on mobile) is AI-generated, right? The character's fingers are smooshed. Interesting to see this approach to article graphics after I first read about it on HN recently.

Hmmm I think radiation and gravity (thereby including geothermal heat) might be energy sources that are independent of the sun?

If you're right-handed, I highly recommend learning to write in italic. That's with a slight tilt to every letter, from bottom left to top right. Unless you hold a pen in an unusual way, this should be an easy movement. You might
