This is a really common way for software to become better.

The pattern of development:

- Make A
- Make B better
- A now broken because it had dependencies on B
- (maybe) Realize a fundamental pattern that unifies A and B.
- (maybe) Unify principles so that A and B become lemmas.

This is a very scientific way of working. The truth emerges as the byproduct of keeping all the plates spinning in your model. As long as you remain aware of all the plates, you'll eventually realize something deep. It's also the strongest argument I can think of in favour of rewriting a codebase plan-9 style. Once you have the truth in mind, bake your knowledge for big wins. Baked knowledge can form the foundation upon which you can climb higher.

But many developers don't keep all the plates spinning. If you don't have everything (or some subset) making sense in some unified theory, don't rewrite. Without a unified grand theory, then you can't make something better. This is why I write unit tests — doing so keeps your plates spinning. It's not about proving your language and libraries are doing what is expected (although that's valuable too in some languages without unified libraries) — it's about showing that everything is working together the way your grand theory intends. Unit tests should be written to reject some part of the null hypothesis.
Yes, it does mark them all as read. (because they're technically read by the irc client, even if you haven't yet)

I'm open for ideas on how to fix this, eg manually sending a /quote read command is maybe an option with irc client plugins.

(feel free to open issues with feature requests btw)
Ha! Well I’ve thought about it ... but first I really need to work out a sound and complete story calculus to make sure his damned thing is self consistent ... then , well the story arc needs to balistically perfect for which I’ll really need differentiable characters ... wait maybe I’m thinking about this the wrong ? Hang on let me google to see if someone’s come up with a story writing language.

We thought about doing that but didn't explore it much to be honest. One issue we have to be careful of is not triggering the anti-cheat features of these games. I'm not sure if looking at memory without modifying it does that.

The blob detection does work surprisingly well though, doesn't take us very long to add a new game using it. Most of the time is spent making sure we understand the flow of games we don't play ourselves.
They’ve learned that every time women speak up, there will be a dozen people with “theories” about why they’re lying, why it doesn’t matter, or why they’re not involved. Another dozen will opine about “inherent differences” in the sexes to explain differences in STEM employment, and another dozen will divert the conversation to some flavor of, “well that happens to guys too!” There’s a script that plays out, an exhausting and predictable script of denial, dismissive commentary, and deflection.

So what people learn is that they can get away with it, because usually they do. Not only can they get away with it, but dozens will leap to their defense. Watch how this thread unfolds, and compare them to previous ones. Look at the eagerness with which any suggestion that women are less suited for STEM than men is gobbled up and reposted to death. After a while people realize that STEM is full of people who use their brains to make disingenuous arguments to cover their ideological asses.

Edit: ...And now you’ve been flagged to death, meaning 10+ people flagged you in 10 minutes or less. I’m not even a little surprised.
I was privvy to discussions surrounding a search for a university president.

Vitalik Buterin Impersonator Scams Over $20,000 from Twitter Users
During my PhD work I often accompanied my advisor in presenting her lab's research (not only or even mainly mine) to interested companies and governments. She was an incredibly accomplished, tenured faculty member who had pulled together a massive research team (and budget) at a top research University. I was a 22 year old white guy with a BS. But many many times, I found government and industry types addressing comments, questions, and even follow-up requests almost exclusively to me.

I tried to imagine what it was like to tough out that culture back when she was a grad student or junior faculty, long before this was a even a major topic of discussion. I wussed out of the grind I would have faced as a junior faculty, even sporting all the right aesthetics. To those who have stuck it out against major challenges: you are tough as nails, you are improving the system, and it is noticed by and impacts more people than you think.
As a computer scientist/programmer, there are three numbers, 0, 1, and infinity. If you're going to index your errors by the natural numbers, and you've got Type 1 Errors and Type 2 Errors, my next question is what a Type 3 Error is, and you know what my next question after that is.

Otherwise, please take this wisdom from programmers, who deal with this sort of thing all the time, and use an enumeration, in this case, {False Positive, False Negative} will do just fine.
I think there may be varying degrees of willpower such that a barrier can help and avoidance is itself a barrier.

> A proper open-ecosystem solution

Not sure what you mean by "open ecosystem solution." IRC is literally just a few RFCs, a variety of server software, and a variety of client software. It's as extendable as you need it, and most networks have their own extensions already. Is that not open enough for you?

> IRC doesn't solve those problems; individual users solve those problems

As opposed to...? AI solving them? Do we need a corporation to hold our hand while we solve these issues? I'm not following what you're objecting to here. You're free to write and propose your own RFCs and extend IRC however you wish.

Keith Winstein was a journalist at WSJ for a short while, I think!
The degree of offense-taken, doesn't necessarily reflect the validity of the thought. How a message is received by society, is obviously dependent on the society of that culture. Those philosophers you mentioned, were received in entirely different time periods and cultures. Saying Peterson's message is worse, because more people are offended today, than probably offended in 400 B.C. by Buddha's message, is completely ignoring context and not really a fair criticism.

Peterson gets a bad rap, by people sensationalizing his message and then labelling him as sexist and transphobic.
Syria and Georgia are primarily Russia's fault, no doubt. They definitely aren't saints. However that's irrelevant to what happened in Ukraine. Imagine if Russia stationed a bunch of floating long-range missile batteries right off the coast of the US. It's not illegal, just like asking Ukraine to join EU/NATO, but it's definitely not going to be allowed to happen, even if it means war.
20 years ago in Ohio, the average was $18 per month. But you could make (a little) more if you made clothes for the prison industry. And all that was spent on soap, toothpaste, and other necessities that the state didn't provide.
You need to cut fluff out of your hiring pitch.

As a developer, the content I'm interested is in your fourth paragraph, everything before that is completely generic and irrelevant.

This is a business that should be run by a company that can afford to lose money while subsidizing it by connecting the userbase to their other businesses, for example Amazon.

Basically they're sandwiched between both the vendors and the users who both want cheap price--users want cheap delivery, vendors don't want to pay a lot for delivery service.

Just look at the dilution based on this single raise, I'm guessing the founders are so diluted out at this point that there's not enough motivation to go on further unless there's a black swan type success to their business. I'm guessing the only reason they're raising this much is so they can work the same strategy of growing userbase with no viable plan and then selling to a larger company like Amazon or Google, or try to merge with companies like GrubHub.

Personally, I've only used doordash for their "free delivery" options, but stopped using them when I realized their "free" is not actually free, and they have hidden their cost into other parts of the price, which actually makes it much more expensive, not to mention it's unethical.
I feel any step towards decentralization is a good one and I there will always be a group of creators who will push that boundary and believe that it is their duty to do so. There will also be those that will adopt it especially as the status quo becomes increasingly less attractive.

I'm personally more critical of all these crypto technologies that can be decentralized but have unnecessarily opted to maintain a centralized power structure.

The vast majority of Token/Blockchain whitepapers I've read distribute a majority share of the power to the developers and/or investors and/or early adopters. In that sense it's less of goal of decentralization and more of enabling a new class division where a new group of people become the powerful by making a bet on which new system will be dominant. That's of course by design as it provides a major incentive for gathering a coalition of support and tractable adoption.

Ultimately I think all these attempts at centralizing power just expose an internal instability in these systems that is ripe for disruption by a benevolent actor and currently these are feel like opportunistic cash grabs exploiting fools with the luckily fortunate benefit of having these technologies explored.

I do believe all the right pieces are beginning to emerge each new cryptowhatever exploring and testing a new algorithm or consensus scheme or concept. At some point someone will put it all together to create a truly fair decentralized trust-less system that will have an internet-scale effect on our society. It will have the same effect on things like Bitcoin that Wikipedia had on printed encyclopedias, but with an truly incredible scope of change extending far beyond trade and communication.

I also get the sense that the current systems will need a collapse to signal the defects. The allure of how lucrative it is to build it predominantly to your own benefit, especially given how willingly people are to accept it, is intense and probably even market efficient.

It reminds me of that Frank Herbert quote: "All rebels are closet aristocrats. That’s why I can convert them so easily."

OneDrive does nothing well. The syncing app is incredibly slow to pickup changes, often stalls or results in conflicts, and the MacOS version is much worse than the Windows version. The web UI is built from parts of Sharepoint and is slow and unintuitive.

Things have improved in the last year but you would have to use the other apps to really see the difference. Dropbox is still ahead of the others in terms of syncing tech with apps that reliably update changes within seconds. I can save a file and have the latest status reflected by the time I switch over to my browser and refresh the web UI.
And? Age isn't a good argument on its own. If Microsoft committed to providing security updates for Windows 7, I wouldn't see any reason to move off of it. Newer doesn't mean better, in this case.
I'm not a fan of the convservatives but it's still unfair to place the blame of a bad choice of client on a political party. A lot of non-partisans were involved in getting the project running.
It is a media problem, though. For my part I have a serious case of fact-checking fatigue which has lead me to just opt out of reading news media altogether.

Reporting the news is only half an outlet's job. The other have is to convince the public that they're presenting a factual, relatively unbiased view.
Well, that's too bad. Bad actors ruined it for you.

We make things more annoying for VPN traffic because it's 99% bad actors. Every time someone is up to no good on our services, they're behind Tor/VPN.

It's simple cost/benefit analysis. If you think a business should bend to every single whim someone might have, then you haven't built much of one.

Making someone run Javascript so they can click on a captcha? Worth the loss of a few pennies because someone's angry about it on HN.

You need to conveniently ignore why people use Cloudflare to say that Cloudflare is breaking the internet. Ideally, nobody would have to use it, but that isn't reality.

==============================

I am Full Stack Developer with 8+ years of commercial experience. My selling point is ability to prototype and execute rapidly due to extensive list of technologies I know and industries I've worked in.
I am open to consulting opportunities as well as long-term projects or employment in the areas of software architecture, tech leadership, backend, frontend development, data analysis, machine learning. The ideal position would leverage my extensive experience, software architecture knowledge, detail oriented approach and ability to execute fast.
I prefer remote/semi remote opportunities but I am willing to relocate for selected projects.
Yeah I can see that, although in that case you do need to prove to your agent what you were making before, and if they feel it's not worth their time they will be more likely to pass on working with you.

But that's a whole paradigm shift in thinking about agency, and they're perfectly happy with how things operate currently. They would have to spend a lot more time actually negotiating.

In the case of real estate, the idea that you absolutely need to work with an agent is so entrenched that it's very difficult to get anyone to consider the alternative outlook.

As a percentage of their own income, of course. How does taxing the rich more not help you when you're poor? Those taxes could go towards funding for training and education, medical expenses, infrastructure, all of which would work towards creating more equal opportunities
more the latter. long ago, to get access to mail or usenet you generally were a technically minded person at one of a few universities or large corporations like DEC. to give a sense of the scale involved, check out http://olduse.net/blog/current_usenet_map/ . There were on the order of between dozens and hundreds of machines, and you would send mail to a person on a given machine by figuring out (by hand?) a path from your machine to that machine and include the names of all the machines in a "bang path" http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/B/bang-path.html

Also, before SMTP there was UUCP (which was used for both mail and usenet).
