Well, I can't answer for GP but I can relate to both of you, because I swing back and forth between the two modes.

I was also raised religious (Hareidi) and am now entirely secular, by most counts. And I've spent many hours trying to argue that it's ridiculous to take pride in the fact that some arbitrary tradition lasted for a few thousand years. So a bunch of people did this or that ritual for thousands of years...sucks for them! Why should I? (Never mind that the tradition may have evolved/morphed to the point that Talmud-era Jews would barely recognize it, let alone second temple Jews or earlier.)

Moreover, if I've already rejected the notion that the Torah is the word of God, why would I consider myself Jewish? How does being born to one woman versus another determine my identity and fate? If I don't believe, why am I "in the club" at all? Because the believers say that I don't get to choose my own identity? Shouldn't I be able to just laugh that off?

I went through a phase in which I refused to identify as Jewish, but it didn't stick. There is too much of my upbringing that I _do_ connect with, or remember positively, and feel good about. So I can't quite shake the identity. And lord knows I've tried.

Instead, as the sun sets on Tel Aviv for the last day of Passover, I'm writing a comment on HN and enjoying the challah I just took out of the oven. Let me check...yeah, it took more than 18 minutes to prepare. But what can I say? I'm Jewish, and what kind of Jew celebrates a holiday without challah? Not this one.

I think the point here is that identity, belonging, nostalgia, and a sense of connection to a larger community - not just a generation alive today, but a chain of generations - can be a powerful emotional driver for people. Simply put, the idea that "our ancestors" did this or that and the tradition and identity lives gives many otherwise rational people a feeling of belonging.

And while there's no shame in choosing to forge your own way, independent of the social environment into which you were born, it's no great honor either. It just is. Some people feel imprisoned by the narrative, some empowered, and some just don't care. And some - I suspect more than might meet the eye - are forever caught between a prison of arbitrary rules and the discomfort of floating listlessly through a strange and uncaring secular society.[0]

So if you managed to leave the baggage behind, all the power to you. For others, the baggage is inescapable. And for yet others, the baggage isn't baggage at all, but a source of positive emotion.

Re #2, I'm not a programmer, but as a writer I find the same thing to be true. I work better with a pen and legal pad than a keyboard.

I've got this feeling that we have neural pathways built for typing and, subconsciously, we favor phrases, words, and sentences that are easy to type. I know I even have a tic where if I pause to think I'll insert extraneous commas.

It's kind of like how musicians tend to improvise around licks and scales that they have practiced a lot. There's something to thinking about the idea of a song on paper that is more creative than unintentionally falling back on chords/forms that are easy to play. (Adam Neely discusses this very well here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6c_LeIXrzAk)
"...but don't post..."

This is the key. If you start posting it becomes a waiting game for the conversation to begin. I feel the need to monitor and wait for responses.

It's fun but obviously mentally taxing. An online conversation keeps me constantly engaged but distracts me heavily from other things. It's extremely hard for me to not want to openly opine and share on the various social networks about subjects I care about.

Given that we don't know whether or not you can live with non-Apple hardware, I think it's reasonable to at least float the idea.
I always take it personally when people complain about diaper costs. The fact is 30 years ago, most kids were out of diapers by the age of 2 [0] and nothing is stopping you from using reusable products just like people had to do 30 years ago. The shear unpleasantness of non-disposable diapers is what pushed people to start training their kids at age one. But now the "convenience" of throw away diapers leads modern parents to leave their kids in them until they are over the ago of 4 (disgusting), and complaining about the price the whole way. And here in Texas, anyone that doesn't make over $40k a year automatically qualifies them for the "WIC" program which means they get their diapers free for how ever long they want.

And yes I am a parent, and was somewhat lazy as my kids were not out of diapers until right at the age of 3 but all of our friends still didn't even try until their kids were 4. Heck I can remember being 4 years old and running around my grandparents farm and popping a squat right out in the open field and burying it just like the barn cats around there. I almost find it child abuse to allow your kid to be so unconscious about their bodies that they have no problem crapping on themselves when in other cultures 4 year olds are cutting up fruit with machetes (personally seen in a small village, Africa).

I agree with this article. The Touch Bar is a useless gimmick. Not only that, but it removed the actually useful Esc and F-Keys. Oh, and it made MacBook Pros more expensive.

I admire the author for finding ways to make the Touch Bar somewhat useful, but to me it's just too much work and just reminds me how stupid and ill conceived it is. When you remove useful things and replace them with useless crap, it will make people angry. Don't get me started with the port situation.

> "Also: If something prevailed throughout time, against all odds, then that's pretty impressive to me."

This is dangerous logic, because you're not comparing it to anything. For instance one argument I've seen for the existence of a god was the fact that many constants and other seemingly 'magic numbers' of our universe are set just as is required to maintain life as we know it. The problem there is that assuming this is true, it's still meaningless since the only way we could ever come to observe this fact was if it was true. This observation is known as the anthropic principle [1].

Basically considering the merit or probability of something happening when you would be unable to observe it not happening is impossible. You could say you're comparing it against the failure of other groups, but this is probably somewhat disingenuous as I think it's reasonable to hypothesize that the oldest persistent ethnic group is likely some group within Africa neither you or I have ever heard of, and you'd probably be unlikely to praise their longevity and persistence in and of itself, even if it too was likely ripe with strife throughout time.

Well, yes. The Albanian Lotto Riots of 1997 are still remembered, many Albanians lost their shirts over it. People made money through the free markets after the fall of communism, but there wasn't much of a banking system yet or experience with investments, so Ponzi schemers jumped in to fill that need. When these schemes failed, there was rioting that the police and military suppressed only half-heartedly (they had lost hard-earned money themselves), so local gangsters took it on themselves to restore order and became warlords in the process. If this sounds like a big mess, it was. English Wikipedia even calls it a civil war: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albanian_Civil_War

Thanks for the clarification! I assumed it was from Rouille... I went back and re-read the area, and he's using Rouille, NOT Rocket -- I didn't notice this the first time through, didn't read closely enough.

Oh I think you absolutely can have that kind of flow -- go.rice DOES support that. Also, I still don't really understand because this problem seems to be easily solved by just changing your build script, or detecting environment at runtime. You could even check for the data, and if it's not present, fall back to disk.

I don't know a library that does it off the top of my head for rust though, since I'm not that familiar with rust dev.
Javascript doesn't have the same richness of NaN as other language specs, FWIW. [0]

> the 9007199254740990 (that is, 253-2) distinct “Not-a-Number” values of the IEEE Standard are represented in ECMAScript as a single special NaN value. (Note that the NaN value is produced by the program expression NaN.) In some implementations, external code might be able to detect a difference between various Not-a-Number values, but such behaviour is implementation-dependent; to ECMAScript code, all NaN values are indistinguishable from each other.

> The bit pattern that might be observed in an ArrayBuffer (see 24.1) or a SharedArrayBuffer (see 24.2) after a Number value has been stored into it is not necessarily the same as the internal representation of that Number value used by the ECMAScript implementation.

Sorry to veer into whataboutism wrt Apple and regions they operate in, but I'm curious about the hypothetical: What if China demanded Apple create a signed version of the OS w/ the key bypass? Among other reasons for asking, one reason is to highlight that while the FBI were nefarious here, that Apple was able to fight it and publicly post that they disagreed without any repercussions makes me at least a bit happier about the process.

It's been many years, so I can't refer you to a specific paragraph in 46 CFR (https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/46/part-310), but during my training as a Merchant ship's officer I was required to (a) take a Meteorology 101 class, (b) read and understand data from the weather FAX at sea and (c) when on watch, make weather observations and report them to NOAA hourly.

I think that's close enough.

Moral questions are religious questions. Can suffering be scientifically observed and quantified? The "right direction" is a fairly large, old, and subtle debate without an easy or obvious answer. While I'm totally on board with the idea that furthering scientific knowledge is a net positive, we're definitely suffering these days from an overabundance of powerful technology and a deficit of "right direction" for that technology. Thinking deeply about what exactly the right direction is in no way strikes me as wasted intellectual effort.
What's the rationale behind rotating? I've never really understood this. I'm asking this from a fundamental point-of-view: I realize there are policies and standards that require rotation, but I want to know why those policies say that in the first place.

If you have a secret, it's either (potentially) compromised and should be changed immediately, or it's not compromised and thus doesn't need to be changed.

If you're not sure if it's compromised or not, you have an entirely different problem that isn't solved by rotating. Put another way, rotating every 90 days is the equivalent of saying "it's okay if this secret is compromised, because no one can do any damage with it if they only have under 90 days" -- and I can't imagine any situation in which that would be true or acceptable.

I agree with most of the sentiments, except for one key statement:

> "Just about any computer you can buy today is going to have some kind of non-trivial boot time. It probably will require a whole ecosystem of crazy things to make it work. It will be fragile. You can break it easily."

I vehemently disagree with the italicized portion, at least in the way it's presented.

Those on here probably aren't affected, but many of the non-technical users I know are afraid of learning how to go beyond simple tasks on their computer (word processing, internet browsing, etc.) because they're afraid they'll break their expensive box and have to pay someone to fix it.

Most UIs today seem to help users avoid breaking things and typically have some sort of notification if they'll change something that would break their machine (e.g. UAC in Windows, padlock in OS X).

Even beyond this, general application development wouldn't pose these risks. Hardware hacking certainly could, but any time you're dealing with the physical workings of something that's an assumed risk.

When TV's became more popular there was a pretty low number of channels for a long time limited to the three networks in the USA, then even after cable came out - adoption was slower in more rural parts of the country. I can remember wanting to do almost anything else and not wanting to watch much TV because the selection of shows appealing to me and not a repeat was so low.

I doubt whether water alone can thoroughly dislodge all traces for those of us with sticky, fairly solid poo.

Besides, there seem to be lots of cultures where people have water but not pressure, and it seems that they use fingers. (Often the left hand.)

I found kragen's answer above to be much more helpful, in that he explains both water-only and water-plus-fingers options.

I would feel a little uncomfortable about handling poo that closely and maybe getting it under my fingernails, but that's my own hangup. I don't believe my habits are objectively superior.
'Maintaining more code' is code for 'I can't write code/I am drowning in unrelated problems/I am just plain lazy'

Its a fine philosophy to apply to an entire project where you may talking tens of thousands of lines vs thousands vs hundreds.

It doesn't apply to a situation like this, where
you are talking perhaps a few hundred lines, tops. If you are doing it right, I wouldn't think you are implementing much more than a thin wrapper around an existing login provider. There are so many valid open source implementations of this out there, this should be zero issue from a maintainabilty/testing perspective.

It's not HN, it's the world. We live in a society where you have to beg and scrape for healthcare and a job and shelter. Then when you have it, the only way for most to keep it is to sell their labor to a corporation, who doesn't pay you for what it's actually worth (they take a profit). Then, when you go home to improve you life on your own time, the corporation tries to claim ownership over your ideas you work on in your spare time.

What you're proposing, "no strings attached" is counter to almost every expectation we've had our entire lives regarding "a free lunch". i.e. there's no such thing.

Richard Gatling thought his most famous invention would cause wars to be shorter and less brutal. More deaths faster would mean faster surrenders, he thought. He is a weapons inventor who thought he was doing something ethical.

Instead, he made war and death cheaper. He made it more likely. In his lifetime, machine guns were deployed asymmetrically, making it cheaper for colonial empires to kill large numbers of the colonized.

I suspect some expert will come in and tell us that there is some fundamental of orbital mechanics which correlated to the observations. That is, stable planetary systems have orbits that correlate with the area of the orbit (the square of the distance from the star)

I recall one of the earliest breakthroughs in orbital mechanics was someone figuring out how the area of a slice of a elliptical orbit was the same anywhere in the orbit, when the angle of the arc is calculated as a unit of time and not degrees.

Not to say you’re wrong. I think you’re right, but the quality you’re attributing to the system is a behavior of the system that has an underlying link to physics that may already be well explored. Just nobody has bothered to put a pretty plot in front of us armchair types and students before.
I agree that confiscation requires knowledge on who the owners are and rough amounts they own. With that knowledge, physical threats to demand exchanging cryptos for safety or freedom could be used quite efficiently depending on the laws and customs of each country.

The fact that the assets may not be easily traceable make them a more lucrative target for criminals to use unlawful threats against innocent owners as well.

This is mostly a good post, but he doesn’t mention one huge security disadvantage of containers: When application artifacts all include their own versions of dependencies locked at build time, it becomes very hard to update a component that has a security fix. It’s somewhat tractable if you own all the images — you “just” have to rebuild every application with the vulnerable component. But once you start accepting prebuilt images from elsewhere, you are at the mercy of the external source unless you want to fork the Dockerfiles.

It’s the same lesson that a lot of people learned about static linking, with the zlib vulnerabilities years ago.
