>scare quotes

I don't think the author had malicious intent.

Unfortunately, we use quote marks for at least 2 different meanings:

(1) <scare_quote>type checking</scare_quote> ... as dismissive sarcasm

(2) <term_of_art_quote>type checking</term_of_art_quote> ... as a delimiters for industry vocabulary

Based on all the other uses of quotes in the blog post, he's using it as (2) terms of art. Some style guides suggest using italics instead of quotes for terms of art but a nice property of "quotes" is that it survives copy & paste into plain text files.
> I don't envy their financial successes either because I wouldn't want their lives

This seems like sour grapes. Investing does not necessarily mean adopting a lifestyle. You can make small, manageable investments without it taking over your life. You don't have to invest every single dollar of your savings.
I agree.

I've submitted a Ask HN: ban nytimes lately - and got banned. Ive also sent an email to moderator asking for a feature that allows the ban of domains per user.

Note that I've actually enjoyed this post, but anyway, if someone wants to read nytimes, he knows where to find it.

EDIT: what's my opinion precisely you may ask? I think those are not hacker news per the guidelines. They are often general - good - but not really surprising. Therefore they are kinda platitude.

EDIT2: currently, there is 2 newyorker.com, 2 nytimes.com, 2 economist.com on the front page. And it's like that every day lately.
Ah i see.. my mistake, thank you.
I think you have every right to engage—not least because I started my response emotionally to begin with (and thinking why there are so many "good" NYT articles all the time).

I honestly did not mean to offend you in particular and, given what you said, I really am regretting having made an emotional response without considering and qualifying all parts of my arguments now—I did not consider the possibility that one may or may not have considered (and/or may or may not have the technical insights into) all the references in the article when I commented. I would have shared something that I think is interesting without understanding all parts of it.

Please accept my sincere apology for lumping everyone together (in fact, maybe there really isn't anyone who want to promote articles and people just happen to read NYT more often than any other sources), and I really didn't meant to offend you by venting my frustration. :(

EDIT: typo. Clarification.
I would imagine the guilty party (who would leave) in this case would be the USA as a whole, itself... If you owe somebody $20, that's your problem. If you owe them $1 million, that's theirs.
My family has found that Forbidden Island is far more fun than Forbidden Desert. (Obv, ymmv). We just don't feel the need to have both of them, so one has been relocated to the grandparents house.
Perhaps this is not exactly what you are looking for, and I don't know if the examples are idiomatic, but you can check http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:Rust (follow the links in the section 'Pages in category "Rust"', there are almost 400 examples)
>> Now, that is an interesting interpretation of the rule of law if I have ever seen one!

That isn't an "interpretation of the rule of law", that's a response to the bold statement that "We really need to teach [...] all those companies some manners and respect for our society".

Yes, we can introduce all sorts of stupid laws to make foreign companies do as we please or have them leave. No, we're not "teaching" them "manners and respect" for our society. We killed millions of people, not even a hundred years ago, but now we're the paragons of virtue? Give me a fucking break...

>> Because they do operate in Germany?

Clearly whatever they did was legal in however way they operate "in Germany", or there would have been a German court case.
Great for vue, my favorite frontend framework for a while now.
What ideas? With no offense to Manning but her entire situation is effectively an exploitation of a vulnerable individual with clear mental issue which was groomed as a source then sold out to the US government.

I haven’t seen anything that would indicate that Manning would be a good politician, in fact based on how Wikileaks managed to groom her into committing treason I wouldn’t want her in any position which could affect public policy.
No offense taken — and I think you bring up a good point about the study. Have a good day :)
I have so many questions for you right now.

- what does Finnish rally driver sound like
- how did you meet Dame Judy Dench
- where are you actually from?

It's pretty funny how language roots show. Finnish and Hungarian are the same family of languages and apparently Dame Judy picked up on it!

It's also noted that engineers are overrepresented among terrorists. [0]

I think it's because engineers believe that there really is such a thing as a coherent, all-encompassing political philosophy that will yield strictly best outcomes for a given set of constraints.

They're basically porting their mindset from a technical endeavour to a sociopolitical one.

The following is the remainder of the sentence you quoted

> would reduce nutritional inequality by only 9%, while the remaining 91% is driven by differences in demand.

Most of the difference in what the underclass and others eat is because of taste. And Americans spend less of their budgets on food consumed at home than any other nation.

And healthy food is at worst only very slightly cheaper than unhealthy food

Castle Panic is pretty fun for a kids cooperative game.

All of you are defending the castle from an onslaught of baddies coming in from the forest. Everyone gets cards each round to spend/trade that can damage/kill/repair with various restrictions. As with a lot of cooperative games, it starts easyish, and then things get harder.

Something I think that needs to be discussed more is the fact that loneliness in society is actually starting to become a real social issue. People who are lonely are seemingly told by society that their loneliness is internal and must ultimately be their fault...but given the fact that studies like the above show that it is becoming much more prevalent in society seems to suggest there might be societal/structural causes that are effecting the trend, or at least positively affecting its growth in society.

I don't see many articles pointing it out so I think it's good seeing one that does.

Whereas Mark Zuckerberg could exchange his shares for dollars ... which supposedly represent future tax income of the united states government ... paid in dollars.

How silicon valley.. maximize efficiency at the expense of all culture and social norms!

No need for complex social relations, I will process information, more than ever before (because there is so much of it now!), like the great logical-positivist that I am!

Moreover, I certainly do not have any political positions embedded in my norms-steamrolling worldview, because all there is, in fact, is information.

This is fantastic advise for effective debate.

I would add:

* agree on the meaning of the words you use.

* be upfront about how willing you are to be wrong / change your mind (I phrase this as "what would have to be true for you to accept I am right" and vice versa for my beliefs).
This seems so ironic. The law seeks to limit disparagement of minorities by painting a minority with a broad brush and not allowing them to have a voice.
This is from someone on the receiving end and is probably slightly older than your kids—I think it's great that you are teaching your kids how to deal with conflicts and making them think, but I'm not sure that stressing them to the point of snapping is a good thing.

My dad did that to me and he still does it occasionally even when I'm "in the right"; I think he probably means well (he claims that he does when I confront him about it), but it's still an awful feeling that doesn't make me thankful of what he does or like him more. If you really do make your kids feel like that you are bullying them, maybe you should consider cutting it back a little.
Could someone explain to me how Golang would compare to Rust for this purpose? I'm a Golang newbie and I always wondered if it would be possible to write an OS in it (+ some assembly).
Really? I Player this back when it was first sent out, and honestly the only thing it’s got going for it is the premis. It’s not fun to play, it isn’t an interesting game and not one of the people I played with wanted to ever play it again.
And for that matter, it can take as long to select the library and learn the API as it would have to write the function to begin with.
I know some publisher's don't use DRM (like Tor). I was wondering if maybe Kobo had licensed Amazon's DRM for the newer DRM that doesn't have a crack yet (as far as I know, but I haven't checked in a few months).
Why "damn"? And why the downvotes? You have children to have/start a family. Nothing to do with difficulty, that is relative. Life is difficult, get over yourself.

I can't image a friend, partner, colleague, family member..whatever. With such little heart they regret their own children. This is the kind of person that believes in "shithole" countries because they lack all the qualities that make up compassion.
The low end Dacia are a demonstration of making affordable cars by abandoning options like motorized windows, A/C and radios. They are very successful. I think you can pay a bit more to have all options, which is still a good deal for a brand new car.

Yes, Europeans generally speaking have smaller cars than Americans. All cars have manual transmission.

Have a meal plan and make a list before you go shopping.

Don't go shopping when you are hungry.

It's OK to regularly cook and eat the same meals.

Dried pasta is as good as fresh pasta.

You don't need much in the way of equipment, one sharp knife, one pairing knife and one serrated knife will cover most things.

Dried herbs don't last long, especially if you leave them exposed to light.

Don't put bread in the fridge, it ruins the taste. This also applies to fruit and veg although what you do will depend on your climate.
Not really, embassy’s are not the sovereign territory of the foreign country, the land still belongs to the host county, so officially he’s still in Britain, but is protected under the Vienna treaty
I think "could X have stopped Hitler" is asking the wrong question (and it betrays the same kind of black/white thinking that is fundamental to the rhetoric I mentioned).

The Treaty of Versailles was crippling the economy, the royalists felt betrayed by the social democrats who ended the Great War by surrendering, the Great Depression destabilised the banks, and so on. Even a bullet in the brain wouldn't necessarily have "stopped Hitler" at the time (the reason we talk about "stopping Hitler" is that Hitler wasn't stopped so we don't know who'd have taken his place and where that would have led the movement at the time).

But this is irrelevant because 2010s Germans aren't 1920s/1930s Germans. West Germany underwent a massive process of Denazification, we entered into and established ourselves in the European Union and Germans who grew up in post-war Germany are used to the idea that incitement is a crime and racial hatred has no place in a civilised society.

It's irrelevant whether criminalising incitement ("censorship") would have stopped Hitler in the 1930s because a single law doesn't instantly transform society. It's 2018 and this is not a new law. But we'll never be able to tell whether it stopped Hitler today because if we stopped him we won't know who he is because he'll never ascend to the same significance in history in the first place. It's a strawman.

You also seem to be under the false presumption that you having legal "freedom of speech" means you can express anything you want without consequences. As is being pointed out all the time, freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences, just freedom from direct legal consequences.

If you hold no significant political power and say something other people find disagreeable, you will be called out at best and ostracized at worst. In fact, freedom of speech might actually help those seeking to harm you because they have the righteous fury on their side.

If you hold significant power, there are plenty of examples in US politics how that usually works out (though time will tell how it works out for Trump in particular).

Fun side effect: dehumanising people also makes it easier to justify war. The US has been in a perpetual state of war since WW2. Do you even remember how to recognise propaganda and war rhetoric if it's been part of the mainstream since before you were born?
It does have permanent world state changes, but it's nowhere near as extreme about it as capital L Legacy games.

It doesn't throw in rule changes the way the actual Legacy games do. Also, anecdotally, there's about 200 hours worth of play time in a single party running through the campaign, so the chances of anyone actually exhausting the game are slim. There's also a replay mechanic and a random dungeon mechanic, so you're not totally locked in.
The Chef-Steps Facebook messenger bot https://www.messenger.com/t/Chefsteps is very useful for anyone with a Sous-vide machine. You can use it to quickly look up time / temperature settings.

It's not really a "hack" but getting a Sous-vide machine has probably been the biggest game changer for me. Being able to "perfectly" cook steaks/seafood at home with great ease is fantastic. Probably saved me hundreds of £££ over the past few years as I eat out a lot less now.

- chopping (onions):

- - Cut with a big, sharp knife, use your knuckles for alignment so you don't cut yourself.

- - Cut one direction, but don't worry about retaining the shape for the next cross-cut. Roughly align the stick-shapes after the first cut (spread out in to a longer line if too much to handle) and do the 2nd cut. It's not so bothersome if some onion pieces are not perfectly square, for things to cook evenly only the thinnest dimension matters and this is way faster than doing things carefully.

- cut tomatoes slightly off-center and you only have to remove 1 green spot (actually just not through the "poles", still through the center)

- sharpening a knife without a tool: use the underside edge of a cup or plate, it is usually not coated and works fine for sharpening.

- rather than cutting everything beforehand, I'm not afraid to take e.g. the onions out of the pan to fry the next vegetable and than mix it back to together at the end. (if you need to clean the pan, de-glaze it with a sup of water)

- don't be afraid to add water when things get to dry!

- use enough fat, makes everything taste better (especially important for vegan stuff)

- rescue boring improvised sauces by adding: ginger, chili, cilantro, soy-sauce

- make pasta sauce less thin by pouring in a bit of the pasta-water

- tomato sauce: cheat with tomato paste if you don't want to boil/simmer it down for very long.

- avocados: Take out the kernel by hitting it with the knife (like laying an axe to rest in a block of wood) and twisting (but don't hit too hard or it will become hard to get it off the knife). Use the biggest, roundest spoon you can find for peeling.
I really like the part about agreeing on words, and I'd riff on a bit more with two sub-patterns i've found useful

1) "I see when you say X you mean [specific definition]. Given that definition I agree with you, but I disagree with the definition"

2) "When I say X it seems it means [specific definition] to you. Rather than fight over the definition I will avoid saying X and use different terms so we can keep moving"
You forgot to mention how Vista skyrocketed the need for higher CPU/GPU/RAM resources, too, compared to XP (which also skyrocketed resources compared to Win98).

I'm inclining to believe this was on purpose, and not just in a "we just want to make the OS prettier for users" way. I think there used to be a theory that Microsoft did this to help PC manufacturers and chip makers sell more hardware, too.

Microsoft's mistake was that the resource requirements were too high compared to XP, so like 90% of the PCs running XP were useless when running Vista.

More like living modestly now is taboo and the thing to be rebellious about.

My future kids will have very hard time trying to be rebellious in the usual, conformist way. Stupid haircut, unpleasant music, unacceptable clothing, out-of-bounds societal outlooks, skipping school and causing trouble here and there? That's not rebellious at all, that's what old people did in their days. Now if they'd try to live uptight life in abstinence of all kinds, lead by strict morals and ethics.. Fuck you, now that'd be rebellious and may even make me mad once in a while.

Newspapers like NYT have successfully hacked hacker news into getting a lot of its attention. A really high proportion of the front page comes from newspapers, and what I've noticed these past years is that the comment threads and articles for these newspaper stories are both of really mediocre quality.

Most of these stories are disguising ephemeral, unproven theories under the guise of longer term truths.

This seems like an uncharitable read. The whole point of Crocker Rules is that you opt in. No one forces you to accept Crocker Rules (that would indeed be steamrolling). You declare "feel free to say things that might insult me", not "I'm going to assume you don't mind being insulted".

Personally, I've found this to be a very useful tool with people who are conflict-avoidant. I tell them "if you're afraid of offending me, please don't hesitate, I promise I won't get mad".

Sometimes I go as far as to suggest something they might be thinking that might be offensive in order to get the ball rolling and show them there won't be negative consequences.

For example: "Hey I wonder if you're concerned I'll be offended if you propose throwing out my work and replacing it. Don't worry, it's fine. I just want what's best for the project, so if you're holding back because you're concerned I'll be upset, you can relax."

I'm in favor of truth being more valued in this culture, but I don't think being too polite is the root of the problem.
