Someone not understanding how to flatten a tree (or what have you) to having to understand Free is a huge jump.
I have so much stuff. It's not hoarding, really. I get rid of junk. I just have several houses and a few storage units. I've scads of music gear, tools, vehicles, etc.

My kids jokingly lament the need to go through it after I die. Meh... At least it is organized. I kinda like the idea of leaving them a giant task. Much of it is nominally valuable. They will be busy for quite a while. This makes me smile. Knowing them, they will enjoy it as well.
I grew up poor, but I'm not now, and I can't bring myself to throw away anything, because what if I need it some day?
An obvious case would be a developer supporting multiple versions of a 3rd party library.
People doing this (me included) have just been flying under the radar. We know it's not legal, but Thai authorities have generally not been interested in going after expats working remotely so long as they don't overstay or do repeated visa runs.

I never did it long term, so I never had to worry about repeated entries, but when I spent a few weeks working remote from Thailand I knew full well I was violating the terms of visa-free entry.
It was not endorsed in the legal sense, the writer is using that word to justify his claim, in the title, that the plan has the "green light".

Endorsed, in this context, means that it was mentioned in cabinet, and the soldiers present agreed that it sounded like a fine idea. This is no different from all the other times it has been discussed, but nothing has actually been drafted, given the go-ahead or any sort of actual green light. This is just the usual spit-balling and bullshit.

The best way to tell when a Thai expat website is trying to magic up a story out of nothing is that none of the other major expat websites have bothered to mention it. When a real new visa is introduced, such as the current 10-year visa for retirees, you will see it being discussed on all the sites.
I disagree; I think it's as much a personal preference as it was in the past. I don't deny that things are not built to be repaired nowadays, but that doesn't mean that everyone in the past was good about self repair. Stuff could be repaired but much of what we collect and hoard isn't that, it's trinkets and decorations. My grandmother, for example, had several rooms in her basement dedicated to Christmas decorations, neverminding the rest of the household items and junk she had collected. It took a few months to clear it because my mother and Aunt wouldnt just give it away.

My mother wasn't quite as bad, but she used to have her own mountain of decorations until I got her to agree to let me get rid of about 75% of it. It's still taking up about 12 or so large plastic storage bins, but it's way less than it had been.

Nowadays we do want durable items even if we are more at leisure to replace them. I am very happy that most of the easy to fail components in my MacBook Air are replaceable (I/O board, fan, battery, SSD) and would love it if other parts were too. Working on computers for as long as I have I know people like to get what they can out of a computer; the number who just go buy a new one when it dies isnt as high as you'd think. Same with other items like phones, cars, etc.
It catered to mine and I am sure it can cater to someone else's as well. A lot of naive users do send json objects by first creating them by writing boilerplate code.

I know the library does not do something extravagant and has been done before by others as well but it is something that I was and am excited to share with the community to make me better in js.
And here is and article about the 90 million obese, not overweight, but obese dogs and cats in the US. Admittedly I don't know much about the pet problem, but Seems to be the PHD from UCDavis suggests the major contributing factor is the increased and added sugar in their food from the major manufacturers and increase in pet treats which too are sugar laden. I mean if all I'm doing is suggesting sugar is a contributing factor as to human obesity and you bring up dogs and cats gaining weight why wouldn't you mention they have sugar added in their pet food and the sugar has been increasing?

Same reason someone picked up vue in first place?

He deleted it, most likely because -- like @
flashman has stated somewhere here -- that other's might cut in on his business in Saudi Arabia.

Also @flashman's TL;DR is on point. I guess it's a matter of finding the arbitrage, and can be applied to almost any "not so sexy" product in any country, the key is to find it, and keep it to yourself :)
Re. lead tetraethyl, unleaded gas has more benzene than leaded one as a side effect of the productive process, but the answer is more complicated. Benzene is only released in the environment when the engine is cold.

The "replacement" for lead tetraethyl is a combination of better valves, higher octane rating when gasoline is produced, and electronic control of spark plugs. There's some feedback between these too, for example improved burning of fuel and the introduction of catalytic converter lets you increase the octane rating without suffering increased pollution from benzene.

yeah aren't the standard AAA's like 1.5V vs. Lithium at 3.6V. Big difference in power. Although admittedly 0-60 in 2.3s isn't really necessary.
> hashing something out over two minutes can save an hour of online back-and-forth

I should hope so, since the cost of a two-minute conversation is at least one engineer-hour for two people to each get back into the zone and start being useful.
I need a wall in front of me. It's really distracting to have things move in my peripheral vision while trying to focus on a screen. I just built a wall out of monitors and cabinets to block out the front of my desk and wear noise cancelling headphones.

I still get way more work done at home.
Can this export to org-mode format?
Do later missions like 'New Horizon' contain a similar message? I wonder if nowadays there is a 'greeting card' committee NASA that decides such things.
Good on you for having the discipline for acually following through with this. As someone once told me, everything that will probably be taught in college is already on the internet somewhere.

I think learning how to learn is one of the most important things for programmers to learn.
That's a philosophy that most musicians can't adhere to.
"Too me, if EMACS could render HTML the way a browser could it could cover almost every desktop user interface use case."

I mostly browse the web using emacs-w3m in a terminal. It works great with the exception of javascript, which it can't handle. For that, I reluctantly switch to a traditional browser.

emacs-w3m is definitely not up to handling "every desktop user interface use case", but it's very nice for browsing the web in "plain text mode", as it were, viewing the occasional image (or more, if you're using gui emacs), and having full integration with emacs.
What's funny is the guy who discovered BPA was an estrogen mimicking chemical[1] kept having his estrogen sensitive cells triggered whenever he would put them in plastic test tubes. He called up Corning to ask them what the test tubes were made of and they told him they don't give that info out. So all this lab equipment and stuff that they use to feed animals and all up and down the food supply chain is probably full of this stuff and we all just think the obesity epidemic happened by magic.

That will last until you are married and have children.
Thanks! I was very surprised a half-decent in-window tab search extension didn't already exist. They all opened in the popup or a new window. So I made one myself.

My goal is to make a complete Omnibar/tabs replacement so I can browse in full-screen mode by default.

This extension complements my other keybinding extension (https://github.com/lusakasa/saka-key).
You can't seriously expect me to also rent my own office space as an employee. What is next? Have to buy my own gear out of my own money? The very reason I am an employee of a company and not self-employed is to not have to worry about these things.

Unless you can somehow provide each employee an additional budget. But what I have seen so far is that that "extra" budget comes out of the pay roll.
Yes, I saw that. It is yet another of the posts which basically say "the science is not saying that the differences are 100% certain, so somehow that means that Damore is totally wrong".

I actually did a half-way pickthrough of that post on twitter, not gonna repeat it here. Annoying enough with 140-character per message limitation. I'm done with this memo.
How do the sailors go missing? They're either on the boat, in which case they're not missing because that's where they should be, or they're in the water in which case they'll be very close by.

Am I missing something here? Surely it's normal for at least one person to look overboard and check for floaters after you prang your boat?
My local zoo doesn't feed its gorillas with local fruit because they say the local fruit is much higher in sugar than the fruit they import for this purpose.
My old man was talking to me the other day about this.

He was telling me that self-storage will be great investment, with all the old people moving to smaller retirement homes and villages, they need a place to store all their stuff.
If he's got it in a storage unit then that makes it really easy for you. There's a market for buying the contents of storage sheds with vague itineraries. I'm sure one full of collectables would sell and plenty of the stuff would find its way to people that would care about it.
> So it's not adaptable in another country

Not entirely true. Maybe not onions, but I see this business model -- buying very cheap in bulk and selling at a slightly lower price than the lowest supplier price (while still making a profit) -- everyday on amazon on all kind of products.

People buy items in bulk from Ali Express (Alibaba's business unit ) and sell on amazon using the same business model the OP has implemented.

I even tried it a while back and it was fairly successful / profitable.

ex: Stawberry Corer / Huller : https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3...

A bunch of "brands" are selling it for 7$ to 8$. I found the same on Ali Express for 79 cents a piece, bought a 100 and sold them off to for 4$ a piece (with free shipping, it's just a few ounces in weight) a few months back...
The 19th century in the US was the great age of limited government. It was also the period of the greatest outpouring of charitable giving the world has ever known. This was the period when the first modern nonprofit community hospitals were created. It's when the Carnegie libraries were built, huge numbers of colleges were built. It's when the society of the prevention of cruelty to animals was built, the first international missions were started. Considering the technology available at the time it's really amazing what was accomplished. This was the boom time for personal charitable giving. And there were no income taxes and no tax breaks. So everyone who gave did so without being induced by the large government to do so.

I have no intention of making an argument that government is better or worse at: providing healthcare, building libraries, feeding the hungry, etc. All I'm suggesting is that when the government creates programs like SNAP then people have a tendency to believe that the hungry are being fed.

Are you sure you aren't falling victim to a frequency illusion? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases#Frequ...
Yes, it is the case, the digital nomad scene is illegal in most (all?) countries. The plus side is nobody knows what you're doing and typically you don't have any money going through Thai bank accounts. There have even been rare examples of co-working spaces being raided.

In reality, it's a non-issue for the reasons above.
As someone who doesn't follow entertainment & pop culture closely, how is this related to HN?
You beat me on this comment with exactly the same youtube link!
I posted earlier about having to help clean out my grandmother's stuff and helping my parents do the same. Both experiences inspired me to deciliter.

I will say that for those of us who have to help our families go through this, be prepared for your family trying to "gift" things that are important to them on to you and when you decline because you do not want more stuff you may be accused of having no sentimentality. I went through this with my parents and I simply had to hold my ground. I accepted two things that did hold special meaning to me, but all other items I declined. I refused to allow their things to become my obligation to house for the next several decades.
Which is the better choice – pizza hut or dominos
I think another aspect of this might be that our prized possessions are increasingly digital and take up approximately zero volume in real space. If my apartment burned down right now, the only thing I'd consider truly irreplaceable is the data on my hard drives.

Well, and my dad's old circular slide rule from his college days.
When my great-grandparents died I was part of the family that went through and made the decisions on what to keep and distribute in the family and what to ditch. When we couldn't find any takers for some clearly dear items (to my great-grandparents), into the trash or donation box they went. There simply wasn't time or interest to sort through two lifetime's worth of sentimental mementos that really only meant something to them.

Of both of them, the things anybody really kept fell into two camps: practical, furniture, bedding, that sort of thing and small tokens of general family interest like my great-grandfather's WW2 dog tags, or photos of distant relatives for the genealogy enthusiasts. There was some grumbling over having to take some of the furniture.

In a few years, I'll be dealing with this same situation again with my grandmother, my father and then my mother (if they go in that expected order). I'm trying to convince them to have a plan for what to do with all their collected stuff, because I don't really want any of it outside of again, a few general family items -- I definitely do not want their furniture.

"Emacs lost the edtor wars."

The editor wars are not over yet. Emacs is still winning over new users, as is vim, and both are growing and improving all the time.

"A modern developer coming to Lisp would much rather use Sublime, Visual Studio Code, or even vim with appropriate plugins."

They might until they see the power of emacs tools like slime and paredit.
I think Python's primary use case has now shifted far enough from scripting to server-side web development that ~35 ms of startup time to deal with Unicode better is a worthwhile tradeoff for the majority of Python users.

It does raise an interesting question about whether there is now an opening for a new scripting language to develop. I don't think any of the well-known languages developed in the last ~10 years have been what you might call "scripting" languages.

Totally. I felt the same way and couldn't watch it past the 15 minute mark. Those 2 guys were mostly talking about their own lives and marketing their minimalist site (not I won't link to it here :)
My theory goes like this;

> In the recently released research, no significant decline in sperm quality was seen in men from non-Western countries, but this segment made up only about a quarter of the results.

There is something in developed countries that the male do not experience during his lifetime. It can be lack of fear, adrenalin, less activity, or something else. I think statistics hold up with the historic wars as well. As WW2 ends and people starts living without any fear of life, male sperm quality drops.

I think it is about what male experiences and which hormons are triggered in his lifetime.

You can definitely live a very comfortable life in Thailand at about $1300. This includes swimming pool, gym, to-the-door food delivery, etc. I'm locals, though, so it might be a bit more expensive for expats.
Why a Dutch court stopped high school students from exchanging schools
Good point - but a lot of these are rare and vintage guitars, and I actually still enjoy playing most, if not all of them, on a regular basis.

I suppose if the time came when I could not play any more due to age/illness etc. then I might do that, and give them the chance to choose a couple that they might want to keep after I am gone (they are both good guitar players in their own right).
Proof (from 1988) that Apple leaks are nothing new
> Should we genetically manipulate ourselves to increase our pro-social behaviours? It seems clear that if society flies apart then all the critiques I've mentioned will be true simultaneously, I do not see how that can plausibly be positive. What about genetic intervention?

You had me and then you lost me.
It would be nice if there was a docker image or a VM new developers could download, and which had a batteries-included Lisp/Scheme development environment with emacs/vim prettied up and having all the bells and whistles, so they could just start hacking away instead of spending days or weeks learning, setting up, and tweaking their editors and downloading and installing tons of libraries and plugins.
Not really, no.
I find even half walls to be as bad as open layouts.

I hated the cube for years until 2012 when I had my first open workspace job. It was a small shop and space was limited. The next two shops I worked at were also in open floor plan layouts. At least with the most recent one I could work from home 3 to 4 days out of the week.

I have to admit, I started to miss the cube. I don't want to see other people pick their noses. I don't want other people to see me pick my nose if I'm not thinking about it. I hate having another person in my peripheral.

In both cubes and open work spaces, I wear headphones for most of the day. Sometimes the music is paused but I keep them on anyway. Music is really the only thing that keeps me sane in IT jobs.
I'm one of the oldest millennials and my parents won't be dying for another 20-30 years unless shit happens, so you may be apologetic to the wrong generation.

I think this trend will actually change with us, my parents have loads of stuff that I'd like, and I've build half my furniture myself, and regularly fix things rather than buy new ones, despite not being handy at all, with YouTube teaching me how. The other half is things I've inherited from my grand parents. Not because I liked it, at first anyway, but because I don't really want to own something with a CO2 footprint leading all over the world or things were build by slave labour.

Besides, the quality and detail in old hand made stuff is so much better than the shitty gluewood you buy in ikea.

Of course that's just my view on things based on myself and my circle of friends, who are strikingly similar to me when I think about it, and we could simply be odd millennials.
That's right, and the rest of the world's divorce rates are going up and marriage rates are falling.
In the companies I've worked in, they did not permit personal computers in the office (they were okay with mice/monitors etc.) The logic was that it posed too great a security risk. In one instance for a high profile project I wasn't allowed to even enter the office area with my phone (to prevent people from taking screenshots)
This aligns a lot with my personal thoughts about desktop operating systems, especially the document database, ala BeFS on steroids, which is something I've thought about for years and would be a huge improvement over the current situation in a lot of use-cases.

I've long felt that applications and "package management" is still extremely poor. Applications should be self-contained to a single file (software.app) and have no shared dependencies outside the OS. The OS could have built-in support for compression (e.g. software.app.compressed) for software that needs it. Each application has one settings file per user. Sending, moving and backing up software then becomes a breeze. Uninstalling becomes a matter of deleting a file.

No shared libraries. It's 2017 and bandwidth and disk space are not major problems. An OS will be able to figure out when it doesn't need to load more than one copy of a dynamic library to avoid using excess memory. The OS should be 'batteries included' so truly native applications will be tiny. You want to proactively discourage ports to encourage native software, and need developers to think twice before using bloated or interconnected dependencies.

This greatly simplifies creating any "app store"/"package manager". It will largely download and update individual files.

All software is sandboxed, with permissions required to do anything interesting, ala iOS.

Title bars should be stackable to turn into tabs, ala Haiku's stack-and-tile (https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/userguide/en/gui.html#stack-ti...). Everyone uses tabs in web browsers, it is overdue to bring them as first-class features into desktop OSes, where it would greatly improve multitasking. The title bar goes from being redundant into a core feature.

I agree that creating a good new operating system requires starting from scratch and that is really, really hard. Broadly speaking, you want to discourage ports, as it's a short-cut that will remove a lot of the advantages of the OS and will discourage people from creating native software. Any new OS needs to have the outright aim of making commercial software viable to be successful, which is something Linux has struggled with.

Any new OS needs to be very polished and slick visually, which should be one of the lessons from Mac OS X and its relative success over BeOS and NeXTSTEP, which were much less visually appealing.

Practically, I've wondered if you could focus on a single low-cost piece of hardware - a Raspberry Pi-in-a-box, perhaps, coupled with a VM version. This could limit the scope of the task and you might get a good amount of enthusiasts beyond free software evangelists.

I also wonder if thin translation layers over established libraries would vastly speed up development by allowing a working version to be produced much faster, even though you would want to replace them with something better in the long run.
My soon-to-be-80 father is very cognizant of this. We never had much stuff to begin with. Four of us - mom, dad, sister and I -- live in an 800 sq ft rented home all our lives in India. Even then, he's been mercilessly shedding all the little things he has, that he doesn't use anymore, for the past 2 years.

So much so that he even dumped old baby photos of me and photos of my Grandfather -- served in the British Indian Army during World War II in Burma -- and many other rare family photos.

I was pretty mad at him for that, but I guess this means I don't have to deal with "stuff" when he passes, esp. given I live in the US and he lives in India.
