That's often a good direction.

When developing, you don't necessarily know about your types yet. And you might not even want to think about them. It's easier to shove in assumptions because things will change as you begin to understand what you want to build as you spend time writing the software.

It's not until later when the code has partially stabilised that you can start spotting what data structures are robust enough to be close to final and actually do benefit from being blessed by typing, locking down the inputs and outputs.

Traditionally, in a dynamically and/or weakly typed language, when the program grows large enough those parts could have been rewritten in a statically and strongly typed language. But if the dynamic language also offers some, even just basic tools for static typing then it all becomes much easier.

Here's a non tech "breakthrough" to help people love the bus: have the goddamn police enforce people who double park, and rip out parking and car lanes for buses only. Buses are great when they work, and they fall off when not. Its easy AF and proven across the world without the need for techbro innovation.

Rape Cases and Juries: Some New Evidence
Very cool. I love seeing stuff like this.
Woohoo!

I once heard a metaphor on HN for the growth of software products. Building technology as War.

Start-up: Your initial core of members make up the ELITE team. They are the ones that storm the enemy lines, cutting the throats of the enemy generals, and bombing key strategic targets. Only the best, of the best, of the best, need apply. There is glory to be had.

Fledgling: Next, come the infantry. The boat is full to storm the beaches. It is gruelling work; support queries, scalability issues: bring the people, bring the degrees, bring the money!

Business: Finally, once the beaches have been stormed, its time to initiate the systemic takeover. Secret police and politics; restructure, assimilate, grow, grow, grow.

I do not repeat it because I like it. It stuck out to be because I felt it was accurate. It bothered me. Working in this industry for 10++ years has been psychologically bizarre. It is time to turn the page on this energy.

Tech no longer needs "War". It needs teachers, Moms, spirits, love, and patience.

Good luck, Project 5050!
I've had to disable mypy a couple time for specific parts that it doesn't understand. Very annoying how it breaks on non-trivial stuff because that'd be the use case where you'd want it most.

I've never had it prevent a problem. I like staticly/strongly typed languages for this reason and putting optional type annotations into a language is never going to work out imo.
Your comment about hospital system negotiation is really important.

A good example of the crazy costs hospitals pass onto insurers are drug costs. If a patient goes to their physician for say Rituxan, the doc gets paid a 4.3% mark-up on what they pay for the drug, plus the infusion fee.

At a hospital? They mark-up the drug by 100%+, and often get a 340B discount so they can profit wildly.[1]

Hospitals have been acquiring physician practices at an astonishing rate, which means costs go up when the service offered doesn't change at all.

And your comment about local monopolies is very true. If your a hospital system in a rural location (only game in town). You can bend insurers over with your fees.

Dumb but not imbecilic. Dumb is "I point you that way and tell you to walk forwards and you walk forwards." That's useful, predictable, reliable. If I point you that way and tell you to walk forwards and you maybe walk for a few seconds but then forget what you were doing and decide now's a good time to call your mom, then you're not useful.

The OEM hardware does not have our custom firmware, our WiFi and drive selection, our testing, or our support.

Those things may not all be perfect, but they do make a big difference.
None of these "breakthroughs" address cleanliness.

Dedicated lanes addresses timeliness but if the number of people per hour of a bus lane is less than the traffic it replaces it's a net negative from an infrastructure perspective (yes it's more environmentally friendly, whether it's worth it is up for debate)

Autonomy would be nice because then you could cut some pretty big costs but I expect unions to prevent that.

Accessibility is basically catering to edge cases. As others have pointed out in the past, it's more efficient to have a subset of buses be handicapped accessible or have a dedicated handicapped accessible van service

This is just a puff piece that doesn't really address any hard issues.
Hiking the PCT with the Elastic Stack
Well, yes; you double-click the play button to play the video/iframe. I'd be more worried about "Oh, the button did nothing, I should try again.". The real fix is to not allow transparency/compositing.
Well then define how you make it clear to the user.

I worry a bit that we will go too far with things. Some want the benefits of having the data to make user experience better.

I am a perfect example of this.
It's even worse when you lock yourself into your own garbage. At least locking yourself into a framework that other people use you have a chance to find someone with the same issue and there are people outside of your company that know how to use it -- as opposed to your own bespoke framework.

That 3rd set exists and functions fine in... Waterloo/Cedar Falls, IA, of all places.

When they took down the passenger rail way back in the day, they replaced the network with hiking/biking trails.

And in the winter, you have a cross-city skiing network.

Granted, there's plenty of space around those corn fields, but something tells me that if Cedarloo can pull it off, the richer cities can, too.
Unless that was the census I would be extremely dubious of "you must take this survey or go to jail, trust me I'm from the government".
Stem cell clinics that blinded women used smallpox vaccine go to war with feds
i love how SF deals with this: every muni bus has a camera that takes pics of parking scofflaws and they automatically get a ticket! :)

but the biggest thing that will make people flock back to the bus, imho, would if they actually ran on schedule. i commute to work daily via AC-Transit in berkeley and have already lost count this week alone how many times the bus was scheduled to appear and didn't...
Hesse us one of my favourite novelists. I'd also suggest Knulp as an interesting read, though not very on-topic in this general thread.
Then we better find other ways to motivate humans. War is getting more risky with each technological advancement. We have not even seen the really dangerous stuff yet.

We are lucky it requires a lot of expertise, equipment and raw materials to build a nuclear device. Chemical attacks, even though it can be done much more cheaply and by moderately educated people, has the disadvantage of any weapon in that it does not scale. If you only have half a ton of chemicals the danger only is local.

Now, the real danger is when home-grown biology-tech becomes more and more feasible. Because you can do this in a basement - and, most important, it scales! Because that stuff replicates itself! You only need to create the "starter pack".

In such an environment, the more people you piss off/make aggressive, the higher the chance of severe undesirable consequences. Right now it is still kept in check because of the amount of skills and organisation it requires, even the suicide attackers can't achieve all that much. But technology works without looking at who uses it, and biotech in particular, with its unique self-replication feature...

Well, I think that making the world more peaceful might become a necessity at some point. If you are right and we as a species require war to achieve great progress we might be walking on a knife's edge because of escalating uncontrollable consequences.

Or maybe I'm wrong and it won't be a big problem (on "mankind scale") and we can have our little and big wars so that people remain willing to spend money on R&D. I must say I agree that this seems to be the case - try to get the US to vote for a party that promises to spend a fuck ton of money on civilian R&D, or on the military. Civilian spending seems to be very hard to get accepted, but military spending works every time. So I blame the electorate, the politicians as far as I can see actually truly represent the wishes of the voters in this regard.

I'm using Flow but I'd recommend TypeScript. I love Flow but TypeScript just seems to be more seriously maintained and less buggy. I've been waiting some bug fixes for 2 years (like all the object destructing and spread issues[1]), but they prioritize the Facebook private internal roadmap before anything else (like they improve the performances in almost every patch, but it's useful only for FB and its millions of lines of code). So yeah, the support is kind of inexistent and it's frustrating. When you find a bug, you have to rewrite your code in another way to workaround…

On the other hand, I don't agree with some of the comments here. For example, Flow is not terminal only at all, I never use the terminal to run Flow. The editor integration is totally fine, especially in Atom and VSCode.

As someone who uses Linux on a laptop (ThinkPad) and would love to support a Linux-first laptop vendor, the question I've always had about System76 specifically is: what value exactly do they add?

System76's pitch is that they add value by ironing out all the compatibility issues Linux can have on laptops, so they "just work" the way macOS does on MacBooks and Windows does on ThinkPads and Dell XPSes. But they're maddeningly vague about precisely what compatibility issues they're ironing out, at least in their public-facing marketing materials.

Those make their pitch instead on the quality of their hardware -- a front where they are inevitably doomed to lose to deeper-pocketed OEMs like the ones mentioned above -- and on their coming with a custom flavor of Linux called "Pop!_OS", which as far as I'm concerned is an anti-feature. I don't want to be locked into some hardware vendor's custom Linux ghetto just to get hardware compatibility; I want to run mainstream distros like Ubuntu, Fedora or Debian. You can get a System76 machine with Ubuntu, but if the hardware "just works" with Ubuntu, why muddle the message by trying to get me to convert to a whole new distro? And if it doesn't "just work" with Ubuntu, why offer that option in the first place?

It's all very confusing, and leaves me with the vague feeling that they're talking about just about anything they can talk about other than what specifically they're doing to improve Linux's compatibility with laptop hardware. And that makes me worry that they're just taking generic hardware from some Chinese factory and installing Linux on it.

If that's what I wanted, I could do it myself, you know?

Note that I'm not saying here that they aren't doing important work improving compatibility. What I'm saying is that, if they're doing that work, they're doing a really good job of hiding it from potential customers. Which is mystifying, since that is the one thing their potential customers would actually care about.

I live in Scandinavia where public bus systems are plentiful, heavily subsized (with my taxes...) and reasonably on schedule.

The things that make me avoid them and instead use my car:

- You get sick by using them. The passenger density is way too high and invariably you'll end end up having a seat neighbor with some cold or flu virus.

- There is no privacy at all during rush time - it's super packed and just a horribly stressed environment. I don't want to sit squashed up to some random stranger.

The solution to all of this is obvious: Instead of 2+2 seat arrangements, look at business class seat configurations. Or just make the buses longer, and go with 1+1 seat configs.

Not sure it’s for everyone, but I’m sure it improved my way of thinking. It’s a book called Drug of Choice by Mark van Stratum, https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06X9C6MJ6/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=...

In many ways him and I came from similar backgrounds, only his situation was in many ways more harsh. Losing his one arm as a kid, growing up in a bad neighborhood in Holland, becoming a drug dealer, everything in his life was heading the wrong way. But he managed to pull himself together, leaving the country, training himself to achieve the most amazing life.

I read it without knowing anything about it, which I can recommend (so sorry for these first spoilers, but there’s so much more I won’t spoil).

I’ve also read Mans Search For Meaning, recommended in 12 Rules For Life. Also good, I agree.

> I love Rust, but I don't think I can introduce it into our Golang/NodeJS/Javascript environment anytime soon.

Rings especially true for my shop as well. I had to introduce Rust or Go, and went with Go. Seeing the mild pushback I get from Go's type system makes me especially glad I didn't choose Rust.

... though, in some cases, Rust+Generics would be easier than Go.
You're right.

I looked into this a little further. The data is encrypted with Github's private key (thus decrypted with their public cert). I then wondered how he got a copy of Github's private key...but as it turns out, the IP does belong to Github.

In either event, definitely misconfigured, but I added an exception as it all seems legit in the end. It looks like he's just hosting his site (with his own DNS) on github's server and didn't get an ssl cert yet.
Why does it matter if I mistakenly think the answering machine bot is a real person? Assuming I can treat it like a real person and still get the results I want, why should I care one way or the other?

To be picky, and as specified in the link, it has now (since 2016) a 3,000 Euro limit for cash payments, it had (and it was "pure folly" in practice) a limit of only 1,000 Euro in 2012-2015.

JFYI, I remember that circa 2013 I had to make a particular payment to a Government Administration (only possible via the Post Office - Bollettino Postale) of around 1,200 Euro.

The Post Office wouldn't accept cash or a credit card, only a particular kind of cheque (Assegno Circolare) emitted directly from my bank.

Of course this check had to be printed and the bank software had a limited printing length field for the payee, which was an extremely long name.

The Post Office wouldn't accept any abbreviation/acronym, I went back and forth several times between bank and Post Office until finally a bank director came out with a key that allowed to print the cheque in a "condensed" font.
This is really cool, and if I wanted to host a demo on a public website or something like that (attempting to keep bandwidth use down), I would use it in a heartbeat.

My use case for terminal demos is very different from that. Usually I'm just recording something short and emailing it to one person. Bandwidth savings do not accumulate across many website visitors, and simple is perfect.

The nice thing about video is I can just email it. I don't need to host a web server instance for playback. Even at very high quality settings ("ffmpeg -qscale:v 1", nothing blurry about it) the resulting video is only about 1MB/minute (80x24 term, h264 or h265).

Here's my demo workflow, in case folks are curious:

1. simplescreenrecorder to record terminal window + voice.

2. ffmpeg -i recorded.mkv -vcodec libx264 -qscale:v 1 -acodec aac encoded.mp4 # or s/264/265/ for slightly better compression, if the receiver has new enough codecs

3. Email the video or whatever.

That's it.

It's common and mundane enough to not even have a name (at least up until the point where it was "branded"). In a strategy textbook, you would find the ideas discussed as a bulletpoint tactic to use for two sided markets or format wars. It is often mentioned as a strategy for aftermarket parts and services in a growth market. In pricing, it's a minor variation of the razor-and-blades model where you outsource or standardize the "razor".

In America, it's frustrating, but the breakthrough Americans need is some sort of separation between mass transit and poverty - that mass transit is something for all of us, not just the poor.

(I also argue that it needs to be faster than individual transit. Unfortunately, individual transit is something people won't accept being slower, even if mass transit could make the whole trip faster.)
It would be awesome if there was a way to gain information about your enemies. For example, sometimes (when facing a sludge), it's better to run away, heal, and come back to finish it off at full health. When facing an archer, it's often better to power through and kill it before healing. There's no programmatic way to know which enemy is attacking your warrior, so I'm often finding myself writing custom, non-reusable code for a specific level, which isn't great.
