Red's parse dialect
It's now a pretty popular idea on places like Hacker News that conversations on controversial subjects are tire fires in which no minds are ever changed. I think this is both wrong and dangerous. Minds are never changed in the moment, of course. That's not how beliefs (or the stubborn and prideful humans who hold them) operate. But my mind is changed on important subjects all the time! And heated online discussions have played a large role in that.

The belief that there's no point in talking about emotionally charged or controversial subjects says more about the rigidity of the person saying that than anything.

But in this moment where everything you say online is an indictment of character, a set-in-stone reflection of who you are in your deepest soul, I'm starting to think it's just not worth it.

I think that's a real loss.

And we have some records of times before television. In fact, there are still folks alive who remember such things. Heck, I remember times before the internet. My parents didn't have cable at one point. My grandmother remembers not having television in her house as they couldn't afford it. Their parents lived without radio. Their parents wrote down their experiences.

It isn't true that we don't have such a world, it just happened before now. Maybe we won't know who is right, but no one is actually willing to give up what they have and it is rather likely that it will fall into the same doomsday predictions about the new-fangled thing as all the previous one.
Thanks everyone for giving this a go! I'll admit I indulged my "I want it to look like a terminal" urges at the expense of proper usability or mobile users. It's far from a finished product, as many of you noticed, but it's great that people were able to have some fun with it anyway.
So we're celebrating sexism now?
These "bloated" packages exist specifically to force you into buying more than you need. It's a standard monopoly pricing technique, and the presence of bundled packages indicates monopoly power in the market.
Memories of Kurt Gödel
I noticed this (the original code, and your implementation) seems to only describe the "state of feelings" for a simulant and how they generally only get worse over time. I'm now keen to see the code that then provides direction and action for the sim based on this state; e.g. "I'm feeling hungry, I should eat, what should I eat?" and the process that determines what it should eat - and how to go about it. I know The Sims employed more than just A*-towards-nearest-unoccupied-food-source, but what makes a Sim choose hamburgers from the outdoor grill over making dinner in the kitchen?
Nope. That’s pretty unusual.

> While a simple series of steps it's still pretty complex compares to the equivalent in gdb:

Oh come on. If you're developing with visual studio, you've already got it open and have been compiling with it.

Debugging in VS is literally click the mouse where you want to stop, F5, full call stack/local variables there in front of you.

Given the list above, if you reproduce a similar list for gdb it is also pretty tedious: run a terminal emulator, spawn a new shell, cd to the directory you want to work in, compile the program with gcc with the appropriate flags, run gdb with the appropriate arguments.

There is very little difference between a company and a government when the first can lobby (read: bribe) the second.

I for one would welcome my files being hosted by the government if we lived in a world where democracy isn't more utopian than flying pink unicorns; as a citizen I would have a slight chance of being respected and listened to because I'd be a part of that, albeit a very small one, whilst with a company you have zero chances unless you're a stock holder or work there in some high rank. That's something to keep in mind next time they want to brainwash people about how good is privatization of public property.

We're slowly but steadily going towards a future where governments will first be owned by corporations, then will cease to exist or be relegated to a purely PR role (think about the royal families in nations still having them). That will likely mark the start of the worst period humanity will ever live in.

HN seems to go in a discovery path when a really interesting subject hits the front page. People follow the initial link with new links and we get many more articles about the same subject in a big burst. I do love seeing these waves. It would be interesting to track them and see what other articles about a subject didn't get the votes.
I just installed Brave. Then I realized it doesn't allow Chrome extensions? I have so many ranging from email notifiers to cookie opt-outs to my own custom extensions for security and usability (like one that colors usernames on HN, for example)... how should I give all those up just to use a different browser?
I have a question to US people, when you say "cord cutter" - what exactly do you mean? Because you still need to pay for internet to the same cable company, and the price is only 5-10% cheaper compared to the same plan with cable box? Am I not understanding it correctly?

I have no disagreement with the claim that higher levels of CO2 increases plant growth. That is a fact. I seriously doubt the 30% claim without compelling evidence, though. Especially for agriculture, where water limits are rarely the concern and we dump fertilizer like it's free.
(Chances are that those are about to be added anyway which would make me look dumb. But last time I checked, the VS team said they wouldn't do that.)

It's a quite reasonable argument.

> I find myself jumping between languages far too often to trust myself to use the correct syntax on the first try, so much so that I consider in-editor linting to be an indispensable tool.

I've been sorely tempted several times to:

1. pick one syntax for things like array initialization, ranges, for loops, string quoting, and various other things that are all reasonably similar from a functionality point of view in Perl, PHP, Python, and JavaScript but use different enough syntax that I sometimes forget which one is right,

2. start writing my Perl, PHP, Python, and JavaScript using that syntax, and

3. write some sort of preprocessor that takes in files that are Perl, PHP, Python, and JavaScript but that use my syntax instead of the native syntax, and replaces my syntax with native syntax.

I usually didn't go ahead with it because I just figured I was being silly and everyone would make fun of me. :-)

But now it seems quite common for people to define new languages that are just existing languages with some better syntax or other features and that are translated back to the original language.

So now I don't do it because I assume someone else will do it soon, and I'll be happy to just grab theirs and use it.

Admiral's claim does not seem to be entirely implausible. IF author of site A provides content on the condition that viewers also consume embedded content from site B, and then the viewers choose to view A anyway without viewing B (through ad-blocking) is it a violation of A's terms' of use or copyright?
Whenever I see these stories, it reminds me of the phrase "the lights are on but nobody's home." Google gives the impression that nobody actually works there. That the whole thing is just an automated system and that sometimes people fall through the cracks.
I'm guessing that ties into their "thesis" of this article, no? That you can and should stop easy machine access for copying... seems silly to me. Your browser is a machine.
Mostly because rich parts of the US like the sillicon valley don't want these people to move there. The zoning regulations prevent building more housing. Rent control is a subsidy for long term tenants against newcomers. (Rent controlled apartment goes for $1500 but should actually go for $2000, land lord sells second apartment for $2500 to cover losses)
After their no platforming last year, do they still have any credibility left ?

The nasty reveal of hidden politics on the right and the left in gaming the system was a rude wake up call to me.

I find Amazon best sellers list give me better recommendations than nonsense like Hugo's Chuck Tingle.
The "cord cutter" term is a little odd because you're still probably buying internet from the cable company; you're just not buying their video services.

When I first signed up for cable, Charter Spectrum had me on a promotional plan - 130/5 internet and extended basic cable (essentially everything but HBO/Cinemax/Starz/Encore), for around $110/month.

This was a 1-year promotional price offered only to new customers. After 12 months, it went up to $65/month for the internet and an additional $90/month for the TV. I chose instead to sign up for DirecTV Now streaming, because even at buying a "bundle" of channels, it was significantly cheaper at $35/month vs the cable company's offering.
"Trusting government to regulate Facebook? No way. I lived in China; I have seen how that story plays out."

Are you really claiming that very government that tries to regulate corporations is going to wind up like China?

You know there are lots of governments around the world that regulate corporations, and most aren't anything like China.

My advice is B2B-type centric, but the principles likely apply in other contexts.

I've used and seen this approach used to both validate, grow and shut down projects.

Build a list of people. Should be your target audience, but if you can't do that, find people that are adjacent or gatekeepers. Ideally this would be ~10 people, but if it's 3, start there anyway.

Go with a specific question/ask. Interview them. Then get them to ask you questions back. Answer as honestly as you can ("I don't know" is fine, but follow up with your suggested process).

At the end, ask who else you should speak with. If you're on the right track, your network and opportunities will grow. If you're not, it'll shrink to nothing. Repeat.

Good luck!
Well, you could argue the same if I double your income, but you spend the increase. Like it or not, demand through consumption is the root source of value in capitalism.

Yes, this is the fundamental problem with editor tweaking.
Most libraries have flags for an environment variable to skip freezing in "production" mode; any decent minifier will remove the conditions since they can't be reached, so there's no performance penalty.

Tcomb does this, and is far and away one of my favorite JS libraries for all of the other features it provides as a result.

Edit: to be clear, tcomb provides runtime types, algebraic data concepts, pattern matching, validation, and with plugins react form generation and other things. Immutability is a simple consequence of needing to guarantee a valid value stays valid; it's not so much a "feature" per se
Can you provide a link to more information on this capability? It sounds very useful, but I cannot find anything about it in Apple's documentation.
The cable company here in Minneapolis is Comcast (the number 1 hated company in America year after year), which I can avoid by going through CenturyLink (the phone company). Thus I deprive Comcast of their revenues and don't pay ESPN a nickel. All I watch is Amazon Prime.

My Internet is $30 / mo. Comcast Internet & TV is $49 per month for 12 mo (a teaser rate), their real rates seem to be $120 or $150, plus they steal your time by signing you up for stuff you don't want. Search for "comcast signed me up for didn't order"

Minor update: I'm looking forward to Elon's satellite based Internet system. So I might go with that in the future.
Google is seemingly more and more a regular almost evil corporation.

I actually pay for YouTube TV even though the price to add cable to my plan would be about the same price. The difference is I get better channels (sports!), DVR, multi-room support, and streaming anywhere outside the house. If I wanted any of those features from my cable company, I'd be paying over double what I pay now.
let's not bring a lowbrow act like Trump and the AMS together in one sentence ever again ... please. It's a terrible comparison.
I think the only solution is a distributed and decentralized web.

I love the idea but one problem: who pays for it? It's a special case of the co-operative vs corporation problem. Without an individual's starting capital, how do you get off the ground?
I think this is more about mobile browser choice (Chrome on Android has no extension support). On desktop, Firefox and Chromium are nice alternatives.

I used bash/tmux/vim exclusively for development for about three years. The whole time I felt very pleased that I was minimizing bloat in my toolchain, understanding everything I used, and getting amazing speeds. Six months ago I switched to Visual Studio Code with vi keybindings. I found every benefit above, plus plugins for everything that just worked, an intuitive configuration system, and all the benefits of being an IDE instead of just a text editor. Some functionality is even faster: ctrl+p filename search, for example.

I've come to think that insisting on minimalist tooling is misguided once you have fast computers.

What do you mean by live synchronizing the description?
"Cord-cutting" means getting rid of cable TV. Yes, ISPs are often also cable providers, but more and more consumers are choosing only an Internet connection. They are "cutting" their cable cord. The money still goes to cable companies but it is often significantly less with only the Internet. Cable companies are attempting to bundle Internet and cable TV into packages and hiding their prices, but more and more are simply ignoring TV packages altogether.
A few notes:

* "First X months" deals are everywhere in home internet access. Buying TV and internet together is usually only slightly more expensive than internet alone for the first 12 months. After that, I'm guessing they hope you've become dependent on it or forget your prices went up.

* I think "cord cutting" generally meant eliminating the cable plugin to the TV. Sure, a cable still goes to your modem, but if you had cable internet, you're still eliminating one cord... now your TV is solely fed by Roku/AppleTV/etc rather than that plus traditional cable.

It was just a way to communicate getting rid of something - cable TV - which many Americans equated with having success in life and/or prosperity.
I was surprised, too. I found this article[0] which specifically calls out boats as having been invented before the wheel. It puts the wheel's invention in good perspective, I think.

Regarding boats capable of crossing the ocean: Australia was settled 40,000 years ago, presumably by settlers who arrived by boat.

I read this article https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12249317 and had the same idea last year when I went to build a computer for the boy. It wasn't just that the price of the motherboard was a killer, navigating the subtle differences between similar server sockets and chips is hard. And used motherboards are not cheap and often proprietary. Then there's the fact that for a dual socket motherboard, a single chip is a bit economically inefficient...so a pair of chips starts to make sense. And then a bigger power supply. And still not good support for powerful graphics cards because...well, you know...it's a server motherboard.

In the end, I got a bought the boy a used Dell Precision T7500 for less than I would have paid for an equivalent case and power supply. Sure only six Xeon cores and 12 threads. But a system with RAM, a windows license, a small hard disk and 12GB of RAM was half the price of the cheapest Threadripper...including shipping.
I agree. I grew up using vi on SysV on a Wyse-60. I don't want to go back there.
It's going to be more expensive than cable since you have to Internet(many of which providers are monopolies in the us) and pay 10 usd a month per various premium channel access.

Unless people just stop consuming media, and regain financial leverage.
I hope so. If we can make meat or something really similar without killing animals, I would consider this a huge win for lessening the misery of the universe.

I remember how people on the internet used to complain about how they didn’t want all of the garbage channels that were bundled with cable. Now they are complaining about being able to pick and choose what they pay for. (Yes you don’t need to have access to every subscription service)

Two things to note, pirates will always find some way to rationalize their theft and the consumer is a child that wants to have their cake and eat it too.
The article doesn't seem to indicate that though? It only mentions the brains response to sugary and diet drinks. Any inferred response in how the body performs alongside food seems to be at best a guess (at least from the article itself and not from the paper).
Proxy behind a web server and you can use whatever protocol you want. Doesn't really make sense to reimplement that kind of stuff in every app.

That has been my experience too. There's a discontinuity along national borders, since green cards are a huge pain the in the regulatory ass, but when I've been interviewing for major tech companies nobody has mentioned within-US relocation expenses. They're too small to bother with, a few thousand bucks at most. Basically peanuts.

(Full disclosure: I went to college in a place so boring that you had to go by the cows and the horses to get to class. I got hired to an unrealistically amazing job via Skype. There was no in-between. It was a big surprise.)
People say that most of coding is thinking, but I'm not sure that's even true, and even if it were, it's still possible if you typed faster and stayed in the flow you'd also end up thinking faster.

My friend used to type at 70 wpm in a regular editor. After failing some interviews because he couldn't work fast enough, he started doing http://keyhero.com and practicing vim keybindings half an hour a day. Now he types at 130 wpm, more than doubled the amount of code he writes a day, and won't shut up about it.

There's certainly nothing to lose by getting faster at typing/editing code.

Only str is in the language. The others are standard library types. Libraries may introduce more types too.

We almost made str a library type but the downsides outweighed the upsides.
