New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Is the past dissapearing?

Ask HN: Is the past dissapearing?
124 by dusted | 82 comments on Hacker News.
I have the habit of looking at the date of things I consume online, it gives me a sense of relevance and context, both when I'm looking for things that are "from now" but more importantly when I'm looking for things given a temporal context, for instance, programming for an old compiler, finding out how to do something with an old piece of hardware or electronics. I feel like I'm encountering more and more sites and articles where I can't seem to find the date. Google will return irrelevant results from today rather than relevant results from 10 years ago. I feel it's getting worse, is it just me?

Ask HN: How to begin learning assembler for university course?
4 by Claude_Shannon | 2 comments on Hacker News.
Next semester I'll have a subject about computer architecture. During it, we'll be learning assembler (TASM, if the website's correct). Could I ask for your advice, how to approach that topic? I'm not going to lie, task of learning assembler seems to me quite daunting and stresses me out. Do you have any tips from your personal experience? Do you have any TASM books recommendations?

New top story on Hacker News: Last Windows 11 update changed all default browser settings to Edge

Last Windows 11 update changed all default browser settings to Edge
59 by nixass | 32 comments on Hacker News.
Last Windows 11 update changed default browser to Edge, default Chrome search-engine to Bing and changed "restore previous tabs" setting to "always open Bing on startup" So they basically messed around with third-party software settings to push their shitty products. This is pathetic, predatory and should be illegal. How do you deal with Microsoft's crap on a daily basis? Any similar stories?

Ask HN: Career change for elderly UK ex-convict?
37 by throwaway301010 | 20 comments on Hacker News.
I'm looking to get back into an IT career but I have lots of serious impediments. I'd like to ask HN readers for their views on my hopeless(?) situation. Am an ex-solicitor. I got out of UK jail a couple of years ago, I did some whitecollar stuff and I have a permanently un-unspent conviction for money-laundering. I'm over 60 with law & a science degree plus several post-grad qualifications. I'm currently doing a masters in data science for interest. I used to be a programmer back in the 80s and keep up with the topic (Erlang, OCaml, F#, Python Golang etc). I'll never pass jobs with DBS checks due to convictions. plus I guess I'll never get a job coding due to ageism (I'd wondered about COBOL but banks and government wouldn't take me), and I dont fancy doing all the BS prep needed for interviews anyway. But I like stats ML and data so I'd love to try for that. But the age and convictions are a serious problems. I don't imagine anyone on HN has anyone with my collection of problems but does anyone have any suggestions that might help?

Ask HN: Resources for “Learning” Manufacturing?
20 by supermatt | 11 comments on Hacker News.
I have been learning cad with fusion360, and have already designed, fabricated and built a number of small items for my own (personal) use around the farm. To date, this has meant prototyping with the 3d printer, outsourcing laser cutting of steel (up to 10mm thickness) and welding parts by hand. Its been mainly small tractor attachments/brackets/etc. I am becoming a bit more adventurous with my designs, and have started designing some ideas that would need to be injection moulded to be of any real practical use. There are also some aspects of the design that I believe would need to be rotomoulded to reduce material usage and weight to acceptable levels. How can I move to this "next level" of prototyping and small scale manufacture? Is this something I can achieve myself with (limited) investment in specific machinery (budget ~15k USD)? Im only looking at small runs - but a number of parts, which I would assume would make more commercial offerings expensive?

Ask HN: Why is today's Internet experience so user hostile?

Ever tried to help a relative over the holidays to set up their home-banking? Lost in the juggling of your multi-factor device garden? Tried to get useful search results from Google recently to find yourself in advert hell? Longing for the old Amazon experience when today's seems like running the gauntlet of grey-imports and scam-price offerings? Logged out of a site for 6 months and returning to a completely confusing new site where nothing is like it used to be? Today's Internet experience has become user-hostile and it almost calls out for returning to the 90s: walled gardens aka Compuserve experience, dedicated devices for home-banking and standalone cameras. What has led to this experience? On the top of my head I can see the following reasons: * Release Often as KPIs for developers The release often KPI for promotion and bonuses has led to constant changes to 'systems that are working fine' to become ever-changing user experiences. While daily users can gradually phase-in changes, most sites that are casually used will confuse users with completely new error-prone experience. * Payment Security and Financial Regulations At least in the EU fraud has led to various tech-related regulation calling as an example for separate apps for IDs and for transaction verification. While it is well-meant, it leads people to check bank statements less often and anecdotally in my family confuses especially elderly users to the point of introducing more opportunity for scams and fraud. * Patch-work nature of ID & Verification Captchas, Two-factor SMS, password rules and Authentication Apps have been patched onto the original user/pass system. The experience has become truly annoying with some clear winners: anecdotally more and more people simply use Google/Facebook OAuth as logins to sites. This is fine from a UI perspective, but lacks consumer regulation - what happens if you lose your access and who can you contact if your accounts get compromised/scammed/blocked? * KPI switch from customer first to business model first Having gained their audience share, Amazon and Google have switched from a 'customer is king' perspective to one which suits their business model most. What are other reasons?
