> There does not seem to be any mention of big party nor being friends

That was my point - sometimes people have stances on issues without really knowing why they believe what they do. I was just postulating another option that the article didn't explore. In other words, could the more conservative folks here wave this article around and say "see, people have an innate desire for lifelong monogamy!", or is it possible that some of the cultural aspects of marriage could manifest in other ways that would then cause a person to say "nah, I don't need marriage now"?

> I would say, that if you need pressure to marry, then maybe you do not want to marry.

Nah. I benefit from pressure to do lots of things that are good for me. Working out, accomplishing things at work, contributing to a retirement fund, getting to the doctor, etc. Yeah, peer pressure can take you to dumb places, but it's not inherently evil.

It's quite common to include the nearest major city, especially when your city is more or less a suburb of it. People outside the Puget Sound aren't going to know where Bellevue is. Redmond is probably the only other well known city in the sound, because of Microsoft.

It's why EA has an office in Vancouver/Burnaby (http://www2.ea.com/locations/vancouver), or Microsoft has an office in Tel Aviv/Ra'anana (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/mtc/locations/telaviv.aspx) not to mention another one in Tel Aviv/Herzliya, etc.

first project submission from a newbie coder so I'm a little nervous...

this was made to solve a pain point of mine which was 1) not having a good mental framework around deciding whether a boilerplate or starter kit was worth investing time in and 2) not being able to search for boilerplates by the desired stack.

Basically I wanted a npms.io for github boilerplates instead of single npm libraries. I hate the "awesome-foobar" movement because it is just a reinvention of yahoo and gets stale extremely quickly while not taking advantage of obvious metadata. A good attempt was made by Andrew Farmer here: http://andrewhfarmer.com/starter-project/ but it didnt have the metrics i thought would be obvious to incorporate.

you can plug in literally any framework to see how it ranks as long as it's on github. No login required unless you want to review/favorite/search boilerplates. See: https://packagejason.herokuapp.com/sahat/hackathon-starter

This is just a first release, i have a public trello board up here: https://trello.com/b/u28EAYJ5/swyx-boilerpl8 and the code is open source here: https://github.com/sw-yx/packageJason. it is built on top of https://github.com/cleverbeagle/pup which is built on top of Meteor.

That doesn't require a subscription. Plenty of companies offer a permanent purchase that comes with a year of updates or all minor-version updates or similar.

The option is there to treat it similarly to a subscription, but importantly you never have to pay and what you already own can never be changed or taken away.
Maybe a simple solution is to leave SLAVEOF in place for compatibility, and implement a REPLICAOF command as a synonym. Update the docs to use the synonym. Not sure what to do about the INFO output, though.

While I don't like the move to a subscription model for a lot of software, I really couldn't finish this piece. I don't think it was very well written, mostly because it kept repeating the same points over and over written a little differently. It could have been much shorter.

I don't like the subscription model because in the end, for multiple subscriptions, it all adds up and ends up being more expensive. And that after spending a lot of money on a subscription you still don't own the software.

(Not to mention "season passes" for games.)

The issue there is CS != programming. The conflation of the 2 has created an artificial demand for CS trained people (to jump through the stupid interview tests) but the vast majority of jobs need almost no academic knowledge. We're an industry starving for mechanics bitching about the fact that Mechanical Engineers want to build better engines.
Tang isn't a NASA invention, it was invented by Kraft. It tastes terrible and no one bought it until NASA used it[0].

But lets run with that. If NASA had invented they wouldn't manufacture and give it away, they would give away the recipe and entrepreneuring businesses could make it to sell if they wanted.

This is exactly what happened with Memory Foam. A NASA contractor invented it as part of the contract so they couldn't keep it secret[1] and it worked its way into a ton of products.

I think you are correct that SLS is not ideal. But I don't think that is really applicable, their inefficiency as business is perhaps understandable because they are not a business. They take their direction from Congress and congress told them to make a ship out of parts they had laying around and that was the SLS.

If we wanted to look at their other missions, they have landed several things on mars and orbited distant planets. Feats no private enterprise has done (yet). All the research from that is available amateur astronomers routinely use to discover new things, like exoplanets in old data.

Designs for things they made like their rocket motors is made available, and that is how Space-X started, by looking at NASA plans for their rockets and picking and choosing the parts they thought most practical.

Yea their every cloud is pretty limited. The world isn't limited to AWS/GCP. For VM hosting, there's Vultr, DigitalOcean, Linode. And for app hosting you have Heroku, Jelastic, et. al.

It's difficult to create something that works universally since the APIs can be radically different. Terraform is a nice attempt to plug in different hosting solutions and configuration layers (puppet, anisble, chef), but your configuration still varies pretty heavily per provider and I've often struggled with it enough that I gave up and just wrote scripts to call my providers API directly.

> Farmers in Alabama are fretting that crops may rot in the ground for a lack of workers to bring in the harvest.

This is a constant claim, but it's not really true.

Some of the crop will always rot in the field since all plants don't ripen at exactly the same time and it's only economical to do a certain number of harvests.

Farmers could always use cheaper labour, so they'll always complain about the price. But there's no real disaster.

The pilot problem is real, but it's entirely a result of airlines paying low salaries for the past 15 years or so.
Google has deemed Fiber a failed experiment. It's great for consumers that got it, but if not even a corporation with a giant war chest and the right kind of incentives can make it happen on a scale that goes further than selected neighborhoods in a few cities, then it's clearly not suitable as a model for the rest of the country.

Chattanooga is one of very few cities. Personally, I think it's a great model, because crucial infrastructure that needs to be shared among competitors is exactly the kind of investment that should be built and owned by taxpayers, i.e. governments or their arms-length subsidiaries. It's good for everyone except Comcast & Co. who want their overcharged rent extraction to continue forever, and call it a free market.

Now imagine what kind of outrage it would be if people said, you know, let's make a one-time investment on a country-wide scale financed with some extra taxes so that we can get reasonable broadband prices for everyone for the indefinite future and invest in society instead of guaranteeing the profit margins of local monopolists.

You're right in that the ISP monopolies are granted by governments - on the one hand, by having due process in place to make sure people and companies can't just dig up streets or add new cables whenever they just feel like it (which would be a mess, and America had it before, and it wasn't pretty), and on the other hand, by resigning to inaction to do the right thing, which is to provide important infrastructure without respect for currently rent-seeking incumbents who already made more than good on their original investments. People always complain about the former, when the sensible way to solve this issue is to de-stigmatize the latter.

Are you targeting the Japanese market, which I understand to have one of the lowest fertility rates? Or are you going after the EU and US markets also?

My sense is that the US market for this is not very mature at this point. There is only a little talk of fertility rates, and in fact there are news stories floating around [1] that tout the environmental benefits of having fewer/no children.

If someone is trying to spread awareness of global warming, and someone asks this person "but the climate has changed before, why is it different now", and all the climate change awareness advocate can say is "well, uh, climate change is bad, ok" then it still reflects poorly on the advocate for not being able to defend what they're advocating, not on the person who may have been misinformed but was giving the advocate a chance to show them the error of their ways.

And this isn't even accurate, everything I said is a common pro nuclear response. The only part I wasn't informed on at that moment was the budgeting issue.

I've seem to have noticed more of my Amazon deliveries being carried by USPS.

Which I wouldn't have any issue with, but I've had the experience that USPS postal carriers are, well, less physically able to handle large packages. We order both Amazon Pantry and Subscribe & Save items, meaning we have 40lb boxes of dog food or cat litter coming in, sometimes several times per month.

I get a complaint almost every time from the postal carrier. I don't necessarily blame them, especially when Amazon puts 80lb of goods in one box. At the same time though, I end up feeling guilty just for ordering these types of items online.

I tend to agree, but I'm definitely biased. :)

This seems to be the mistake that the article makes. You saying that you want to renovate your home, or that a farmer wants to harvest his crop, or that an airline would like to fly somewhere, is not a real indication that work needs to be done. There is always a point where the cost makes it not worth doing anymore, and at that point, the jobs aren't really jobs. Trying to include them in the demand for labour violates what demand means.

A real problem is too many school counselors and society in general tell people you can't make a living doing skilled blue collar work.

antirez, this is easily one of my favorite comments I've seen on Hacker News in a number of years. In looking into what you've said here, I've learned that this is a bigger movement in software than I was aware of with projects like Drupal[1], CouchDB[2], and Django[3] taking similar stances. The github issue[4] spawning your change contains even more profoundly good ways of thinking about how software can do more, in the code itself, to "be the change you want to see."

Bravo and thanks for pushing the envelope forward.

Regardless of whether you agree with the changes, the fact that these discussions are occurring about the code that we write is really great. I love seeing how we can take code to a much different level than the 1s and 0s it is often reduced to in the mind.

I'd love to see some other examples of similar movements in software whereby we are taking great care of the code we write as an author, historian, or any other writer would take care of their own words.

I know a lot of people here on HN think subscription models are pretty swell - personally I think they're not so great.

Sure, they provide revenue that can support security fixes - but at the cost of decimating the incentive to improve features to generate upgrade revenue.

After all, if spending more on development doesn't raise revenues much, but cutting down to a skeleton team of maintenance developers means that subscription revenue is almost pure profit, there'll always be investors pushing for that.

Seems to me that invites our industry to stagnate and stop producing value, if you don't need to make a better product in order to bring in revenue.
In the realm of software, there is a limited number of "better engineers" in a given region and in the entire world.

Paying more will have a zero-sum effect in the short term, simply attracting workers away from other software companies. In the longer term, it will encourage more newcomers to enter the field and spur the "less better" engineers to improve or update their skills.

I'm still not clear about what you meant by "better engineers"; I'm in doubt about the theory of the 10x engineer. If you meant engineers with updated skills, then I might agree with you.

For 64-bit ARM (AArch64), load-exclusive/store-exclusive and load-acquire/store-release require aligned addresses. (Seems reasonable to me, trying to handle atomic accesses to aligned data is no fun). You also get a fault for any kind of unaligned access to Device memory, but you're not going to have that unless you're the kernel, and unaligned accesses to hardware registers are definitely not going to work out very well...

(The rules are all fairly clearly documented in the Architecture Reference Manual.)

The premise is everything you want being automated. If space/land is not automated, that breaks the premise. So there is something you'd pay people to obtain - land rights. A short transfer of all land to the elites later, and you have enough space for anything.
Yes. The most successful projects I have worked on, we (the dev team, not project managers, not designers, etc) went on-site often. We observed our customers. We had lunch with them. We stood behind them as they worked. We asked them questions. We were on very friendly terms with them.

We built systems that literally had people say, "Oh, thank God!" when demoed. I haven't seen any other development methodology that matches it. You really have to understand a problem at a deep level in order to reason well about it.

This is very perplexing. Men do a lot more than just make babies, so why then would their productivity disappear if they cant make babies anymore. "Uh, hey ma,n we cant have kids anymore so lets go rioting?"

Uhh I guess, sure I can concede that.

I am also agnostic and I agree that religion is important however not for the same reason you do. Yes religions bind societies but only to a certain extent and for only so long. See the conflicts between early Christians and Jews, or the conflicts between Protestants and Catholics. Or current extremist Muslims, hell extremists of every religion. As much as religion binds people together it even more so tears people apart.
