I've always heard it called 'hooch', which I find really charming for some reason.
I've used "why didn't you just ____" version plenty of times, and in a handful of them, they replied with a paragraph or two outlining the exact reasons - including a very edge-case issue that I'd not noticed.

After that I usually reply with something like "Could you add a comment and/or test highlighting this reason? (So the next time someone modifies this code they don't make the same mistake I did.)"

Definitely better results all around.
I think it might be easier to transplant a whole brain than to transplant a part of a brain. I'm not even sure the latter is possible at all.
If you're a target of a major intelligence agency, I think that you have to assume that all of your computers are irretrievably compromised. From Vault 7, we know that the CIA has long developed implants to infect both the EFI and hard drive firmware that load before any potential code that could detect them. These could be made arbitrarily hard to detect without physically opening the computer and dumping these flash devices and comparing them against a known good image. Who knows what other embedded processors with a little bit of flash lurk in various peripherals in your laptop that they've figured out how to wheedle their way into... If the flash is integrated into the microcontroller itself, there may not even be an easy way of reliably dumping its contents.

And yet, if either my hometown (population 6,000 when I left), or the small town where I went to college (35,000) had retained their downtowns and their walkability, I might still live in them. I don't farm, I don't work in a factory. But I do telecommute, so I can set up shop pretty much anywhere

Yeah, but really sucks to have to run up frequent flyer miles for interviews.
Actually, Seattle PROPOSED to vacate hundreds of marijuana charges going back 30 years.

I hope the proposal gets accepted, but I dislike clickbait headlines even more.

As I see it, the subtext on why TheRoot.com (1) wrote a misleading headline in that way was not only to clickbait readers, but also to function as way for The Root's journalist Angela Helm to use their media to pressure the courts into accepting the proposal.

Which is a noble intent, but I hate clickbait.

"This is a starting point regarding alcoholism and impaired judgment"

There's nothing in there about people being born alcoholics. Even if there was, it's not a scientific study, nor does it cite any.

"There are genetic components to many people's drinking disorders"

Where is the scientific evidence for this?

"Anecdotally though, some people are effectively alcoholics from their first drink. I’ve heard the same thing about meth addiction."

There are so many urban myths surrounding drugs and drug addiction. I really would think twice before trusting what I hear through the grapevine.

"I’m not in favor of outright prohibition of any substance. I’m definitely not in favor of the extreme penalties the US imposes for casual drug use. But I think the general rallying cry of "legalize it" is irresponsible."

So if prohibition is not the answer for you, and legalization isn't either, what is? What exactly do you propose?

Though worth remembering that the surface of Venus is an untouched wilderness region containing billions of years of geologically significant information. I'm all for walking around a balmy Venus, but if it involves pulverising the surface, we need to be extracting all the scientific information from the untouched wilderness area as we do it, because a lot will be lost forever otherwise.

You must analyse why you're failing. Is your product not good enough? Is your strategy lacking somewhat? Is the concept itself flawed?

If it's the last one, then it may be time to call it a day. Explain to your investors that you were unable to validate the concept, so it's best to cut their losses. It's a tough conversation, but the ethical thing to do.

If it's the other things, I'd give it a bit more time. I've run a few successful start ups in the past (as well as now), and traction takes a while and develops in obscure ways.

I raised $10M and it wasn’t going to work. We had spent 20%. Board wanted to change course, I said let’s give the money back. I said you’ll have to fire me if you want to keep raising money and change course and they did.

4 years later after they raised another $60M they sold the company for $15M.

> 1. The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in “advanced” countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in “advanced” countries.

Those are not the same people, come on. The zodiac killer's notes were barely literate and Ted Kazcynski went to Harvard.
It's effectively feasible to monitor everyone, and to make determinations of interest after the fact.

So that's not a particularly viable option.

Ask HN: Platform for sharing Apple developer account?
I was wondering about whether a platform like this exists.

It’s like a Uber for Apple Developer account: instead of $99 a year, you can pay $10 a month instead but can stop at any time.

A couple of valid use case exists:

- Trying out, as a trial

- Temporary use TestFlight or Fabric.io (both are beta publishing platform and requires an enrolled account to publish apps onto other phone)

- Download betas

- Access to some documentations?
They way he keeps saying 'one in a billion' seems to negate the whole thing.
I noticed most of your complaints are related to using a car :)

I would say that in a "real" downtown area, you're not supposed to use a car at all. Not having to allocate land for parking essentially allows businesses to be clustered closer together and be more accessible to everyone, without everyone having to own their own car to get anywhere.

To quote Jane Jacobs:

> The point of cities is multiplicity of choice. It is impossible to take advantage of multiplicity of choice without being able to get around easily.

Oh, I realize that personality plays some roll in chess, but I think the degree to which is shines through in Go is on a whole other level. There is only so much you can do in chess that is still considered sound play. For example, you keep your queen back if you're a cautious player or bring it out early if you're not, but doing something like sacrificing your queen early in the game to take a pawn would just be regarded as stupid.

There are many fewer truly "stupid" plays in Go, especially early in the game. In fact, if you look at a lot of the commentary around the games that Alpha Go played, one thing said time and again was how Alpha Go made moves that seemed "amateurish" only to follow up later with connecting moves that seemed almost prescient.

Should people be allowed to do what they want? Sure, as long as no-one else is impacted. Good luck meeting that criteria, though. Do you really expect someone who has OD'd on some substance to have zero impact on what other people are doing?

The other day, a woman at a store lost consciousness due to opioid overdose. Her toddler was wandering around, wondering what was going on. I'm sure the paramedics who showed up had nothing better to do that day.
But it is supposed to be so! At least in physics or mathematics (and the "harder" sciences), if there are multiple descriptions, they better be completely equivalent in the answers they give, otherwise all but one of them are wrong. It is possible that different fundamentally equivalent frameworks might be more suited to different problems (eg: Newtonian mechanics -vs- Lagrangian mechanics)

So put malware in the BIOS itself, or one of the other chips or ROMs available.

I think I remember reading a story recently about Thunderbolt or maybe USB being connected to an Option ROM over PCIe (must have been Thunderbolt I guess) that allowed an attacker to simply plug in a USB stick and permanently and irrevocably pwn the system - right down to securing the flaw that allowed flashing of the ROM over the PCIe connection. I think the malware overwrote some bit that allowed any further writing, so even attaching physical chip flashing device to the ROM wouldn't clear the malware. The machine was effectively permanently compromised and could only be thrown away.
I think in practice it has differed a lot between different groups that call themselves "conservative" in different time periods and locations. I suppose winding back recent changes (back to the "good old days") is also an aspect of conservatism.

It's also a far too simplistic way of looking at politics: usually groups will be in favour of same changes and opposed to others, regardless of what they call themselves.

There are also issues where it's not even clear what a "conservative" approach would be. Should action be taken against global warming, to prevent potentially undesirable climate change, or resist taking action, to prevent changes to the economic status quo? For some reason, modern conservatives generally seem to prefer the latter.
What about yarn?
That definitely sounds interesting, but I'm also a little blazé at this kind of announcement. I have vague recollection of seeing this kind of ambition multiple times, and zero recollection of seeing any of them concertize. I guess there is a lot of hidden difficulty in the task.

I'm also not sure about that IDE analogy. IDEs and advanced code editors are basically notepad with lots of extra features that increase productivity, at the cost of added complexity and some extra learning effort. Meanwhile, current DAWs can already be very complex and hard to learn fully, because they already have a million features to boost productivity in various ways. So if current DAWs are "notepad", I'm not sure I want to know what an "IDE" even looks like.

Because of that, I wouldn't belittle the existing tools so much. Several DAWs are deeply scriptable and extensible, on top of the plethora of rapid-workflow features they possess. This can get you pretty far in terms of creative productivity.

That being said, I'm sure there is a world of unexplored workflows and musical frameworks, and I want to see more people digging into that. But when you casually say you're going to pull a revolution out of nowhere, you can expect grumpy replies like this.

It sounds like "Hooked On Classics" was made for the likes of you. These albums consist of medleys of selections from classical music. You're bound to hear music you like, and especially music you'll recognize (I was obsessed with old Warner Bros. cartoons when I got my Hooked cassette and recognized much of the music from those), and you can look up the piece title and composer in the liner notes to discover more once you find something you do like.

Hooked was also often used in schools to get kids interested in classical music.

Primary advantages of using Managify over alternatives:

1. Single Platform

By building a single platform for all your documents, we are able to offer powerful, unique features. Ex. Users can see all their notes, bookmarks and calendar events on any specific undertaking in a single interface.

2. Unique User Interface

We've designed unique, consistent and intuitive user interfaces across different modules.

Example:

- Our tasks-management interface in the projects module is one of our best - Intuitive keyboard shortcuts makes it work almost like a free-text editor, making it super-fast but highly structured.

3. Unique Features

Examples:

- Customizable labels that can be organized within folders, allowing the same document to effectively be in multiple folders through the labels. This provides the right dimensionality for quickly identifying the relevant resources. For instance, you can have 30 labels organized in 6 different high-level categories. You can use the specific label or high-level category for quick filtering based upon what you are interested in.

- RegEx Search. Surprisingly few applications have RegEx search + labels. These 2 can work great together for filtering purposes.

4. Fast, Simple, Cross-Device Compatible And Free

>> Unions, or example.

Unions were defanged, waylaid and driven into the ground by neoliberal policies in the US and the UK, in particular. They lost most of their power and were rendered incapable of supporting workers' rights, which was their reason to exist. That is the problem with unions, not that they perpetuate the problems they solve. For that, we have free-market capitalism.
You've simply recited the fallacy. You've framed the very debate in terminology that assumes you are correct.

But that's what all entrenched interests do.

Schools of technology are not simply teaching baseline competence. They teach the theory of the same subjects, with a more hands on approach emphasized.

They are showing up to civil war reenactments with tanks and planes. The old timers are in a huff about it, but what else is new?

Another example of the Zodiac Killer's writing:

Sirs -- I would like to expression my consternt consternation concerning your
poor taste + lack of sympathy for the public, as evidenced by your running of
the ads for the movie "Badlands," featuring the blurb: "In 1959 most people
were killing time. Kit + Holly were killing people." In light of recent events,
this kind of murder-glorification can only be deplorable at best (not that
glorification of violence was ever justifiable) why don't you show some concern
for public sensibilities + cut the ad?
This kind of article dances around it's point in the unproductive way typical of the topic. Here's a condensed version of issue, rather than talking about symptoms:

The topic at hand is harshness of language used providing feedback on another person's work. In addition to being a developer, I've also worked in garages where people swore like sailors and ball-busting was common. Calibrating my voice for the context starts with understanding every critique has: the harshness intended, the harshness communicated, and the harshness received.

This article focuses on the 2nd, leaves out the fact the internet makes it notoriously difficult to communicate voice through text, and assess using the common buzzword "toxic." Which, as far as I can tell based on context clues, is intended to mean "anything harsher than my personal preference threshold."

Just as important are parts 1 and 3. The feedback "pull your head out of your ass" can be run of the mill, or beyond the pale. It all depends on the context and participants. Note: This is very much NOT a point about "having thick skin," it's about understanding how sharp the comment is in the first place.

Each critique also has: the amount of ego hit to the recipient intended, and the amount of ego hit perceived. This one is about "having a thick skin," and where we might ask, "How harsh is too harsh, depending on [bucket of other factors provided by the context]?"

I'm not looking for a dissertation, but I expect people speaking on the topic to show an understanding of the complexity at hand. Otherwise it looks like a pack of schoolmarms trying to enforce I-know-best standards.

A piece of career advice I received can be paraphrased as: "Software development in Silicon Valley is full of people from the participation trophy generation that have only ever held back-office jobs. And it's San Francisco." -- That's all that needs to be said. From that we can derive what the standards for behavior in code reviews are.

And if it sounds like I'm implying that the hegemony in software development demands we treat each other with kids gloves, it's because I am.
