If anything big brands have reduced the list of ingredients they put in food over that period.

(doing things like replacing preservatives with vitamin C and artificial colors with plant based alternatives, eliminating preservatives and upgrading packaging, etc.)

It also varies a lot. One store brand of kettle chips I had recently had ~20 ingredients in it. A second had 3 (potatoes, oil, salt).
Just to make sure I we agree on the meaning, what is your definition of intuition?
The difference is that it can be fun to role-play a weak warrior, a stupid mage or a clumsy thief - or disagreeable bard. No computer game come close to that kind of storytelling / social / intelligent interaction though.

The second best thing is stuff like Moria/Angband where each stat has a clear use and game effect - and of course in such games some form of re-roll/prioritization makes a lot of sense (the automagic re-roll based on min-stats targets (I need at least 17 dexterity) introduced in some version of Angband is probably the best if you want player-visible stats).

India's also a developing country vs a developed one

A rapidly developing country, no doubt - but not developed yet

The vast majority of Indians aren't involved in either the "real" economy enough (ie, the one governments measure), or are too poor for it to matter

Yes, India has come a long way, but it still has a long way to go - economically speaking

> Humans are, by and large, inherently irrational. That fact isn't depressing. It's simply true.

That's not the subject. You've suggested that this specific reaction is irrational. As I've pointed out, it's ENTIRELY rational to use available data to make a decision if the stakes are high and the duration of opportunity to counter it may be short.

It may be sub-optimal and even self-harming in the total balance of accounting, but that is a distinct condition from rationality. You seem to be confusing these different concepts.
So how long until SF and the Bay Area's anti-development, anti-improvement ethos causes some other place (Austin/Denver)? to replace Silicon Valley.

For me, I'm only here for the money I get to keep after expenses. Once somewhere else matches that and without the crazy whining about gentrification and privilege, and the extreme NIMBYism, I'm gone. I suspect the same is true for many others.

It won't work that way though. Cities have this thing called "rush hour" for a reason: a some specific times of the day far more people need to get around than others.

Worse, the people who use their car in the middle of the day are the least likely to use shared cars. They are the most likely to need a change of clothing, a stroller in their car just in case. They are also the most likely to run back and for from their car for each purchase at the mall.

What that leaves is people going to/from work, and their lunch breaks. At this point you may as well own your own car self driving car: at worst it is not much more expensive (shared might be 10% cheaper), and you get to leave your golf clubs in the car while at work. At best you can ignore a few tears and keep the car for longer making owning your own car cheaper than a shared car which needs to maintain appearance and cleanliness standards.

Shared cars work well for those people who rarely use a car. However those are the people who already are renting cars, using taxis and the like for the few times they need a car.
That's politics for you right there. An obvious benefit for the city is seen by some as a symbol of something sinister.

Build, just build. It benefits everyone but entrenched interests (nimbys).

It's presented as us vs them. And that is so unfortunate, because it should be seen as progress.
Petro-fueled airplanes also have the advantage that they can be flown lighter for short trips, trading off either performance and/or cabin load for fuel load. They also land shorter (by virtue of being lighter) at the end of typical flights.

Battery airplanes that carry the full weight of the batteries all the time have worst-case takeoff, climb, and landing performance on all flights.

It's easy to notice even 100 pounds difference in loading on light airplanes. That's a little under 17 gallons of avgas or about 90 minutes' fuel burn for a typical trainer.

If I want to take 2 extra 175# adults on a local flight, I can just leave off 60 gallons of fuel and have the same performance for a short flight.

I had to be online and read the article at the same time :P
I really really don't been to pile on Python... but every time I've had to interact with it I've been shocked at how slow it is compared with C or C++. I tend to write scientific code to process datasets in the range on 10Gb, for simple operations Python code can take hours as opposed to just taking minutes or seconds in C.

I'm sure it's possible to write more highly optimized code in Python, but it never seems to be the case with the code bases I've worked with. With my own code (a few years ago now), I spent significant time optimizing and the final result was something that was still significantly slower than C/C++. Overall, for my work, I couldn't see an advantage.

Am I just doing it wrong? Currently Go seems far more appealing to me and I've enjoyed using it (maybe I should also try Rust).

The muni pass costs $70/month. One year of bike costs less than 2 months of muni, not sure the cost argument holds up. If you are actually using it to commute, and not to hipster around town, it's very cheap.

As another commenter pointed out they even have a program where you can get a yearly pass for $5 if you qualify. I simply can't see this as worse than not having it.
I'm not sure this really makes sense. It sounds like RedHat didn't hammer it down throats, but instead created a solution that had some guarantees of support and traction which distro maintainers then decided was better than the current alternatives. No one was holding a gun to distro maintainer's heads tell them that they needed to move away from the existing solutions or else, or at least I haven't seen any evidence of that.

So if they weren't forced into it and RedHat did indeed provide some guarantees, it does actually suggest what the parent says.

One thing that always bothered me about airplanes is the energy used to take off. On aircraft carriers, they use a launch device, allowing the airplane to "push off" against the carrier. Compare this to airplanes taking off on land, they just nail the throttle and take off by pushing air...

A land-based launch system would have a lot of advantages; lower peak power would be needed from the motor and batteries, the engines could be made smaller, the energy used to take off doesn't have to be stored on the plane, everything gets lighter and more efficient.
There seems to be an effort to rewrite history to "well, everyone adopted it, so it must be good, right?" That is very much not the way it happened. Go read the discussions on the Debian lists, for instance - RHEL was indeed throwing its weight around.

Add to that the games they're playing with interfaces, and at some point, it starts smelling like a miniature, farcical version of Microsoft in the 90s.

The more the better. But think of the incentives this vague "definition" creates. By labelling your opponents "toxic" (claiming that their rude etc. stuff is making you want to leave), you can get them censored. It is rewarding thin-skinnedness with power. This does not end well.

There are two fundamentally different approaches to investing.

1. Pick individual investments, based on extensive research, and monitor their performance closely. Move money between investments in response to market changes. Put a lot of effort into predicting upcoming changes and investing accordingly.

This can work OK, if you put in a lot of effort and keep it up. It means essentially turning investment into a second full time job. (And you are competing with people who do investment as their first full time job, and have much bigger budgets for research and much better technology that you do).

2. Take the long, broad view. This is based on the assumption that over the next few decades the economy is going to grow. There will be ups and downs, but 30 or 40 years from now when you may want to start leaving the working world and live off you investments there will have been considerable net growth compared to now.

With this approach you put money in things like index mutual funds tied to broad indexes that tend to follow the economy as a whole or major sectors of the economy.

Almost everyone should be going with #2, starting as early as they can afford it, and steadily investing more over the years. Do this starting from graduation, and but 5% of your paycheck every month into investments in this order:

A. Any investment program sponsored by your employer where they make matching contributions. That's free money! If that doesn't use up the 5%, then...

B. An IRA. (I'll leave it to others to pontificate on the Roth vs. Conventional question). If that doesn't use up the 5%, then...

C. Broad index mutual funds. (Others can go into more detail on which mutual funds).

Take that 5% off the top, investing it as soon as you get paid. That way you get used to living on 95% pay and you stop noticing the 5%.

Can this fail? Yes, but since you are betting on the economy as a whole with approach #2 such failure over a long enough time (35+ years) would mean the economy has developed such serious problems that you probably were screwed no matter you did.

Beauty. Almost a piece of art.

I was on a plane yesterday (literally on airplane mode) and I finished a book I've been working on for a month, and prepped/wrote half of a presentation. Quite often I produce much of my writing on a plane.

I find myself very productive on a plane. Especially on cheap flights that don't have in-flight entertainment. Literally no distractions for a preset amount of time. You're not only offline, you're also physically stuck. Best way to make the time fly by is by being productive.
> It may be sub-optimal and even self-harming in the total balance of accounting, but that is a distinct condition from rationality. You seem to be confusing these different concepts.

I agree. The initial reaction to getting a pipe jammed into your chest is to remove the pipe, even though I'm pretty sure every medical professional would tell you to leave it there, you don't in the heat of the moment understand why: you have a foreign entity in your body, and your instincts are telling you to remove it. It is an irrational and detrimental reaction but I'm willing to bet the vast majority of people would do it, or at least attempt to do it until someone who was not in fight or flight mode stopped them.

Just because emotions are messy and not easily solved with logic and code does not make them irrelevant. We are not the fucking Borg and we likely won't be for an extremely long time, so discarding the emotional end of any argument just because you don't want to deal with the messy irrational reactions of human beings is stupid.

Decreasing code duplication is good of course. But you need to be careful that the two pieces of code are inherently equal and not just by accident. Because once you consolidate the code, for example like you suggest, and somebody comes along and changes `GOOD_NAME_FOR_MAGIC_CODE` to something else, without being aware that it is used in multiple places, he might inadvertently make a change he did not mean to do. Tests help, a good IDE helps (to find location where a symbol is used). But still, it's a fine line to walk.

Ask HN: What's the Value in “verifying” Open Source CS Degree Courses?
I am interested in hearing folks' thoughts on the value of pursuing "verified" certificates from the various platforms that provide the courses for the Open Source Computer Science Degree (https://github.com/open-source-society/computer-science).

My goals in taking these courses are twofold:

a) Enhancing my resume prior to eventual job applications in the software engineering realm.

b) Setting myself up for possible future graduate school applications for an MS in CS.

For background, I am a working professional with a humanities education. I started coding seriously about a year ago and have grown quite proficient. I plan to continue my programming education over the coming year and build a portfolio, but I am also interested in doing some formal CS education. I love coding and find myself wishing every day that I had discovered it when I was still in university. Now, I am working on my coding education full-time and will continue on that path for the next year.

Although I am increasingly confident in my coding skills, I suspect that I'll have a better shot at a career transition if I can gain a solid foundation in core CS principles as well. That is why I am investing time and energy into online CS courses with EdX, Coursera, etc. The question is whether I ought to be investing money as well. My main interest in the material is intellectual and I want to continue doing it regardless, but I recognize that future employers and/or graduate school may require some "proof" that I actually learned the material (beyond just portfolio projects).

For reference, I calculated out the cost of buying "verified" certificates for all of the required courses and it comes out to $1,712, depending on course selection.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts.

Sure. And you're assuming that's what happened here.

Based on how I've seen people behave, I'm assuming it's not.

We can both have our opinions. Hell, we're probably both right to some degree.

I will say, though, that when it comes to collective human behaviour, politics has taught me to be incredibly cynical... I've consistently been amazed by how willing people are to work against their own best interests in order to reinforce their personal and group identities.

But the vandals in particular? I seriously doubt they put any real thought into the benefits of this bike network. They saw change, introduced from outside, that they see as a symbol of white gentrification (and even worse, it's those damned cyclists that everyone hates... Probably with man buns and bottles of IPA in their backpacks), and reacted.

You are giving far too little credit and good faith to the distribution maintainers who spent the better part of a year carefully evaluating the available options. I watched those discussions take place, and contributed to many of them. They included detailed evaluations of the service management capabilities, verbosity, transparency, debuggability, maintainability, tooling, backward compatibility, any numerous other factors.
