Cancer rates are hard to compare across countries because overdiagnosis is such a common issue.
A higher survival rate is to be expected when the doctors have a financial incentive to treat benign growths which the patient would have survived anyway. It can indicate overdiagnosis rather than indicating successful treatment.
The cab drivers are still true londoners who have passed the knowledge.
What has changed is how acceptable it is to be racist on hacker news and conflate native-londoner with whiteness. Or to conflate being being a true londoner with this xenophobic concept of nativeness.
So many of us londoners are non-white with London native parents who are non-white and in London that doesn't get questioned. You can't imagine how much it hurts to have outsiders come and try and tell us we are different and don't belong just because of our skin colour.
Quick feedback: it took me a while to understand what this does and why I'd use it. You might want to work on how you describe it or give examples of a use case.
It might have helped to have a demo inline on the landing page so you can try it out before signing up also.
You're competing with OS sticky notes on each platform so you'll need to have a compelling use case or niche for this.
It would be great to have an automated workflow for granting one-time authorisation for CI to publish a package.
I'd like the easy of having CI sign and release on merge but with the security of local 2FA or hardware signing tokens so malicious access can be guarenteed not to be able to distribute a release.
LLMs could also ease adoption of new languages by making hiring less of a barrier to using something more niche. It becomes easier for someone to hit the ground running and be productive even if they still need to put the time in to become an expert.
Instead I find myself more concerned with which virtual machine or compiler tool chain the language operates against. Does it need to ship with a VM or does it compile to a binary? Do I want garbage collection for this project?
Maybe in that way the decision moves up an abstaction layer the same way we largely moved away from assembly languages and caring about specific processor features.
Dang is a great moderator, but I think it's a reach to say hackers don't find this interesting, it's not getting upvotes from nowhere.
Hackers have a natural curiosity for the world, and that includes politics too.
From phrack and cult of the dead cow, to chaos computer club and even pg's own writings, none can be described as completely a-political.
The ability for an increasingly authoritarian leader to wave a hand and ban a mostly exaggerated threat is exactly the type of dystopia hackers have been writing about for years. I may not see it that way but surely that is interesting and worth discussing!
The flagging and flame war suppression mechanisms do us a disservice by silencing these topics and relegating them to an unseen graveyard.
It sounds like a mix of good intentions, misunderstandings, and poor communication.
Shopify wanted to put in place better goverance and access control, to reduce the risk of a supply chain attack and put a deadline on that.
Part time maintenaners left it to the last minute, didn't consult or communicate well and then over exerted their influence by taking over things without consensus to do so.
Existing maintainers then rightfully alarmed, when it all could probably have been handled better.
Doesn't help that the rift over a competing tool being created probably played a part in some of the heavy handedness. DHH's drift to white supremacy probably hasn't helped either, but likely neither are the cause here.
