Upvoted because it's reasonable response not deserving of downvotes.

I do appreciate good chefs. It's probably side effect of the (cheap-ass) restaurants I go to, but I can cook at least as well as most of the people they have back in the kitchen. And I don't consider myself particularly skilled.
We need a formal language that is a little more amenable than what we need to put in the terminal. But dictating to a comfortable hearing terminal would be great!
Further, I think most recycling is not correctly sorted. There are many people that really don't care but go through the motions, and many others that care too much and put inappropriate materials in the recycling. Getting everyone to sort the same way is really not possible.

(I've had a previous landlord that was very into recycling and he would remind us to take the caps off of bottles before putting bottles in recycling. Either he was wrong, or most people I see recycle bottles wrong. I also went to a very liberal high school that was super into recycling, and had large central sorting bins, but half the large recycling pickups were rejected for being too impure.)

And smartphones will have evolved to display HN well. After all - it's not the site that should be responsive it is the device.
Because most line of business applications are crafted, run on insanely fast hardware and don't need pure CS/Math skills to create. Some jobs need CS/EE/Math degree knowledge to do well. Software is written by a wide variety of skill and knowledge levels to varying degrees of effectiveness... in the end all anyone cares about is does it work/look reasonably well.
Ask HN: React inline styles – yay or nay?
React inline styles seems quite popular now. But are they actually a good idea? Especially considering the problems with server-side rendering and media queries.

Yay or nay?
I'm not sure what you mean by "aggregator for existing services". Qbix is a social app platform. Let's say New York University wants to install the Qbix platform for its community. People can sign up and make accounts. Then, let's say other organizations, such as Columbia University also run a network. People sign up there as well. You want a system which seamlessly and transparently handles all the social integrations. If I have an account with NYU and then sign up on Columbia's social network, I should be able to find my friends (but only the ones that want to be found) automatically and see their user names because they are in my contact list. Columbia would host various "social apps" on this platform, which would all have a common way to deal with users, data, privacy etc. Let's say one of those apps is Chess, and another is Presentations. I can invite friends to play chess on the Columbia servers or edit a presentation hosted there. If we want, any one of us can start our own network and invite friends. And they wouldn't have to tell each other, "I am XYZ123 on the Columbia network", it would just all link up. Privacy, contacts, etc. it would all work across all the domains. That's what I'm talking about.

Where do you see such a system? It took us four years to build this platform. But it liberates your accounts from the silos since you can create an account anywhere and choose to tell some people that XYZ123 on Columbia is ABC456 on NYC -- and not tell others. Everything would be personalized according to who is logged in where and viewing what. And it would "just work". So app developers for Chess and Presentations could simply implement the part responsible for playing chess or editing/viewing presentations, and the rest would all be standard -- user signup, forgot password, invites, privacy, history, contacts, social, etc.

THAT IS WHAT I MEAN. Here are some diagrams:

PS: By the way, your project seems really cool, we should link up. Ultimately we are missing the network layer for our stuff, but what we'd really like to do is have our platform also power apps on local networks, e.g. cruise ships or ad hoc mesh networking. We are deferring that to a couple years down the line, but that's where we want to be.
We'd like GDP to track what we would consider value, but it need not. It's not hard to find people who will complain that some contribution to GDP is unhelpful, detrimental. It wouldn't be hard to find sour words speaking out against financialization, for example. Economic rents in general can contribute to GDP but intuitively are not 'real value' because otherwise we wouldn't call it rent. Governments can create a lot of worthless work that contributes GDP, but unsustainably. It would be debasing to the word 'value' or 'productivity' to ignore that.

We'd like at least for 'real value' or 'productivity' as intuitively understood to contribute to GDP. That is, from an increase in value one may infer an increase in GDP (usually). I can accept that. I take issue with an inference in the other direction. If I knew how much 'real value' contributed to GDP and how much was in excess of that contribution, I would be an incredibly accomplished economist.

I wasn't disagreeing with the lower cost, I was disagreeing with the claim that a home made dinner would probably taste better than something made by a chef. Clearly the author isn't talking about going to fast-food joints when he talks about "fine restaurants".

And nowhere does he say that he eats out every day, or even every week. What the Soylent guy eats every day is, presumably, Soylent. Which he claims is cheaper than home cooking (I won't argue either way) and that therefore he has more money to eat out when he wants to.
It should feature:

- Peer-to-peer proxy mesh network, no internet required.

- Automatically discover nearby nodes and connect directly via wifi, bluetooth, internet.

- Nodes run in memory, no writing to disk. Constantly discovering and caching indexes of common nodes.

- A way to store data fully distributed across the network. You only get a 'piece' of the data, you need to hit more than a certain threshold of nodes to get full piecture.

- A self policing of nodes from a ledger of some sort that is distributed and shared by everyone. Bad ones are not punished, they are grouped in their own 'neighborhoods'. Spammers end up spamming each other.

- Fully anonymous and risk free. You never hold more than a encrypted piece of the puzzle which alone have no meaning. Only with a certain threshold of nodes can you access that data. The data is constantly shifting across nodes.

- While a node is online, it's broadcasting it's piece of the puzzle to other nodes randomly so that if it goes down, the backup is held by another node.

I don't know I'm just writing some random ideas so obviously these will need additional work.
GDP is all inflated meaninglessly by central banks. Inflation rates aren't particularly accurate either so you can't count on real GDP as well.
I can think of one easy reason from a micro-economics perspective. A firm has "organizational rents" from being more productive as an organization than the individuals would be in aggregate on their own. This begs the question of how to divide them. The answer is usually along the lines of having a hell of a lot of political maneuvering to assign as much of the extra value to yourself as possible - salary, prestige, power, and favors.
Two wrongs don't make a right. France is at fault and so is the US in many of the examples you cited here, so why do you keep defending the indefensible and morally questionable policies of the French state?
The package is a QB robot from Anybots. It's on it's way home from London to San Jose (we thought) for an upgrade. Over the last 14 days, FedEx has literally flown it across the Atlantic 6 times.

The sender inadvertently reversed the Sender and Receiver on the waybill, and was advised to 'just put arrows between the two, it happens all the time'. It got as far as San Jose distribution, who apparently missed the arrows and shipped it right back to London. Since then, and in spite of literally dozens of phone calls, this guy has been racking up frequent flyer miles.

Various entities in CA have spent a lot of money to prevent flooding, and in doing so they have made very effective systems that shunt freshwater right into the ocean. Because the water is very efficiently moved from streets to drains to cement rivers to whatever it doesn't get a chance to sink in, and that means that a lot of water is "wasted".

CA might be in a drought, but it still does get rainfall. Drought != no rain at all, it means less rain than usual.

If you don't get much rain, you have to do everything you can to prevent runoff. There's not much of that in CA and so there are problems. It's partially a drought, and partially bad water management that have caused the problems.

I assume it is more complex than appears on the surface. Which crops and processes deserve access to cheaper water? How much water will that save? How much will the price of goods go up as a result? What customers will stop buying as a result? How will farmers react? Should the government try not to bite the hand that feeds its people?

I haven't read any farm bills or anything about water data but that's what I would do first if I wanted to understand more.
How do you get a custom 32 Bit image running on Linode, on both Xen and KVM? I tried to get a KVM system running and I failed after going through a hard time. Why don't they simply make it OpenStack compatible so you can run a KVM system like it should?

No, sorry, not millions a week. It was a thousand or so a week. What I meant, is that those thousands add up to a more impressive number. The numbers have dropped off over the years.
Maybe you and GP think about different concepts of "productivity". Economic value-add has only a loose correlation with work benefiting individuals and societies. That's the point of "bullshit jobs" concept - we're inventing occupations that feed on one another, wasting people's time and resources but making the numbers go up.

It's like in this story of soldiers who dig up latrines one day, and fill them up on another day. Yes, a lot of people were busy, but in the end, nothing useful got done and lots of man-hours were wasted.

Some of my favorite HN articles are the ones that have no comments on them. Insightful, relevant, beyond repute. I apologize for spoiling this one. Just wanted to make that observation out loud.

Side question: this is driving me crazy and Googleing isn't helping. Is it "beyond repute" or "beyond reproach"? Are both OK in this context?
I'm familiar with that talk and it's a good one but Guy Steele's main thesis is not showing the difference between small/simple and large/complex.

Instead, his main point is that a successful language can start small and it is inevitable[1] that it will grow into a larger one. Therefore, let's plan on its growth from user feedback. To help the thinking, he defines a sort of "meta framework" for the directions a language can grow. The idea is that the growth can be more systematic instead of a random chaos of adding keywords and syntax (e.g. PHP).

My message is orthogonal from Steele's. I'm saying that evangelizing that a "language X is simple" in terms of a formal language spec is not useful to real-world programmers. The working programmers actually care about holistic simplicity/complexity that combines Formal specs and Informal idioms.

When did I make a claim that they were winning?

I feel like you are arguing with someone else in your replies to me. When did I ever make a claim that "the SJWs" were winning? Someone asked what the term meant, I took the time to dereference the pointer for them, and provided a bit of the origin of the term.

I also added a bit of snark about how the whole phenomena is a completely normal re-occurring part of American social discourse. The SJWs, prohibitionists, and witch hunts are all a part of the same line of moral panics that eschew logic and argument in favor of emotions and appeals to moral authority. They happen every 3-4 generations in the US, and probably come from the Utopian ideals of the Pilgrims that has evolved into the american progressive movement.

> GCing has nothing to do with a language being functional

Yep, I didn't say it did! You mentioned Haskell and OCaml as counterexamples. I referred to them as "the compiled functional languages". This isn't a claim that only compiled functional languages do GC.

> Interpreters don't do GC

Sure they do! One example: Ruby (the original interpreter in C). It has a full mark/sweep collector that traverses user data structures. Custom object types implement their own 'mark' routines, so it's fully precise. (I've implemented a C extension that uses this API.)

Another example: often, Java runtimes interpret Java bytecode on the first pass, before JIT'ing, to give fast startup on cold code. The JRE would be written in C or C++ (non-GC'd), and Java is GC'd.

In general an interpreter can add any additional or different semantics it needs to on top of the host language's semantics. I don't think your call-by-value claim is correct either, because function calls in the interpreted program do not map one-to-one to function calls in the interpreter. (The interpreter would generally manage a data structure representing the interpreted program's stack.)

My goodness, this is going off the rails. Sorry to OP for derailing. Just trying to fix things that are Wrong On The Internet...
