As a 42 year old, I read that article and think "thirtysomething old man yells at cloud!" - there are tons of diversions out there of all sorts.

OTOH, I live out near Santa Barbara, and downtown SB is nowhere near as good as what it was before 2006 or so. It had Borders+B&N, good thrift stores, some random shops, etc. Pretty much all of that's gone now.
A good thing of forums is that you get everything as is. As raw as it gets. If you don't like something or someone you just block it.

You can also have privileged threads/subforums that are read only if you don't meet some requierments.

You can even have an option to only show comments/posts for users with karma > N, if thats what you want.

Getting one of these phones in the US comes with other risks as well since your importing g from China. No warranty for one. Little you can do if the phone is delivered to you in some defective state. I only have full 3G coverage with AT&T. That said other experiences I've read on Xioami's phones have been largely positive. Really cannot stress how amazing of a deal the MI A1 is. Feels like a spiritual successor to the Nexus line.
Minor correction: MVS requires modules to specify the minimum version to use of a module. The algorithm will then select the newest among those based on the idea that semver is forward compatible among minor versions. The name minimal version selection throws people off.

Other algorithms would select the newest release within a major version even if no module has ever tested it and it was released 5 seconds ago.

When authors do make incompatible changes and MVS selects a broken dependency, as expected, there are manual escape hatches. More complicated NP complete algo's would have more of an automated answer here by allowing dependencies to have boolean constraints (greater then X, less then Y, not Z etc.) on version so that there is this collaborative summation of constraints to work around authors violating semver or bugs. To summerize poorly: It seems Sam Boyer regrets that dep didn't do what vgo does by default, but believes that a SAT solver could kinda do MVS for the happy path but still solve against the introduction of boolean constraints.

Personally, I'd like to let vgo play out a bit, I'm not convinced boolean constraints are something I really want imposed on me by my dependencies.

Whether you agree or disagree, its novel research in this field and excellent technical writing worth reading in its entirety over a cup of coffee.
Quite the contrary - for the majority of people and businesses doing online transactions, it's very important that the transactions are reversible and can be overriden by their legal system in case of a dispute. Things like CC chargebacks and the ability to reverse fraudulent transfers are highly valued by most users. There definitely are some markets where this isn't the case, but those are niche markets not similar to most of our economics.

In order for cryptocurrency payments to be competitive, the full service has to include not only actual transfer of money but things like a reputable escrow service that answers to local contract law.

What's the rationale behind "impure" decentralizing? Why not go fully decentralized like Tox does?

I agree with you, but there's one fly in the ointment. POSIX Shell does not support local variables! Writing functions without being able to have local variables? That's pretty damn gross.

So I use the `local` keyword, and now my scripts aren't strictly POSIX Shell any more.

In Italy it's fairly common to live with parents until you find a partner. Housing prices are really high, income is low and having an housemate without romantic engagement is not a common practice, unless you're studying in another city.

IE, I'm almost 30 and I've been living alone for 2 years only because I found a decent medium-pay stable job 3.5 years ago, and the apartment I live in is rented by a friend who asks very little money. All of my friends who are single like me live with their parents, and only a few of those who are engaged live with their partners.
Whether or not those things are alive is a matter of debate, many scientists say that they exhibit some of the properties of living things but not all of them.

There are many web sites that discuss the properties of living things, I’ve linked a decent one below. It might be useful to think of it in terms of a ‘running’ engine. If I switch a running engine off, or it runs out of fuel, or someone breaks it with a hammer it stops running. Being alive for an organism is analogous to being in a ‘running’ state for an engine. It’s not an attribute of any individual components, but rather a description of the behaviour of the whole system.

MVS has another quirk, which is that there are no version ranges. Only minimum versions.[1]

It relies completely on the community adopting "Semantic Import Versioning", which is basically "v2 is any breaking API change, which must live along-side v1 because it's actually a totally different import". So it blends some of the pros and cons of both dep/cargo-like package management with those of npm's.

It's... interesting. And I love that it's not an easy answer either way - it's a significant alternative, and it's bringing up lots of new(ish) ideas and approaches that have kinda fallen on the side. That said, I've had concerns about vgo from the beginning, primarily around the "does this make sense in an ecosystem". Package managers are not just "this algorithm is efficient", they have major code-culture effects (and the ecosystem can support or destroy the package manager's goals). This article is hitting most of my concerns squarely on the head, in quite a bit more detail than I've managed to figure out.

Also, https://medium.com/@sdboyer/so-you-want-to-write-a-package-m... is very good. sdboyer has been thinking about this stuff for quite a while - emotions may be there, but he has a LOT of experience backing it up.

[1]: To work off / echo pa7ch's comment here: it picks the highest minimum when there are conflicts in transitive dependencies. So if you use A (which needs C v1.1+) and B (which needs C v1.3+) you get C v1.3, even though v1.4 is available. You can upgrade to v1.4, but only by putting "C at v1.4" in your top-level dependencies list (which the tool automates for you) to override those values, and it's assumed safe because it's still importable, therefore still v1-compliant.
> I don't understand why parents would let their adult children live with them for years on end.

Extended families living together had been very common across cultures and times; as has people living with parents, if not permanently, until marriage, however late that may or may not happen.

Unconditional ejection at the entrance to legal adulthood is, arguably the odd thing.

> Isn't 18 years of imprisonment bad enough?

Not every family situation feels equivalent to imprisonment for the child or enslavement for the parent.

I had a recruiter insist on Rails 5 experience, at the end of last year. Rails 5 had been out for less than a year.

Luckily I was able to talk sense into him that Rails 5 has like 1 new feature.

Then the company that put up the listing was dragging its feet, and I ended up choosing another offer that got back to me before I even got an interview with the first.

Anyway, not all recruiters are deaf to the voice of reason.

Rehabilitation is a core part of the system in many European countries and some of them had to close prisons due to the lack of demand (e.g. Netherlands). You're right, some people only respond to punishment and defraud people for the fun of it. But that's the minority. America's outsized prison population is mostly drug related (either selling/possessing drugs, crimes while being high or committing crimes to be able to buy drugs).

I don't say prisons are useless but you could probably cut prison population by 70%+ and have a safer society as a result. And a psychologist isn't expensive compared to a 1 year prison sentence.

Going down the rabbit hole a bit further, I was always a bit pissed off with the 'match at exact skill level' method.

The best thing I ever did to progress in skill in a game was to play with/against people far better than me. I don't want to learn how to beat people who are only as good as I am; I want to learn the techniques and skills to beat the people who are at the top of the game.

> If there are two algorithms that satisfy the same requirements, and only one is NP-complete, you pick the other one.

Problems can be NP-complete. Algorithms cannot - they can be exponential time (and if your choice is between exponential and double exponential, you pick the former!)

In practice, and especially for SAT solving, as far as I understand the state of the art is that the general case is NP-hard but we have tools that work surprisingly well in those cases that reality tends to produce. In some more academic cases, we even have heuristic solvers that are not even guaranteed to terminate, but usually do so within a couple of seconds, so you can get away with the "beginner's solution to the halting problem".

I think we’re missing out on the weird and the unique. Reddit/Twitter does have massive streams of content, but they’re all pretty homogenous, and both sites have their own pretty homogenous etiquette rules. Back then every site was an amateur attempt with a bizarre design and a community of obsessive weirdos because only obsessive weirdos were posting online, and posting without learning the unspoken rules and celebrities of the community would get you destroyed. Messing with the rules and winding up the ‘big name posters’ could be hilarious, because it actually affected the community.

Now ‘content’ is pretty much just memes. Memes are ‘weird’ but they’re homogenised, structured weird. They (well, image macros - we didn’t have the word meme then) were mostly banned on SA because they encouraged such crappy low effort repetitive content. Now the timewasting internet is 99% that.

SA used to be amazing but over time they’ve banned or devalued more and more of what I thought was worthwhile about the site (effortposts, obsessive stalkers who would dig up incredible things about other posters, the absolutely crap but bigname fiction posters, anyone who doesn’t talk like they’re posting on Twitter) and now GBS is literally just discussing Reddit content.
You can always count on HN to find like-minded people. Walked down the same road around 2 years ago. I think if FireChat open-sourced its mesh networking code, we could make some real progress on this. Mostly because writing a mesh networking layer is a project in itself and skipping that would go a long way.

I was thinking of using mesh networking for simple stuff at large events, like locating friends during a music festival (no cell reception).

Thanks for the correction; I worded that unclearly. My point is that with MVS, the solver will favour the oldest package that is allowed by the semver version constraint; given transitive dependencies on multiple packages, it will conservatively pick the oldest that satisfies all the constraint. You can bump the version you want by updating the version constraint, but unlike other tools (e.g. Cargo [1]), it will always favour the oldest allowed version.

Very insightful comment. Some thoughts:

> I don't think it's been demonstrated - not do I think it's true - that companies prosper because they do this kind of stuff

I don't think it's because of this always, but it's certainly an advantage for companies that do.

> I'd argue that it's actually self-defeating over a sufficiently long time-scale

How long though, and how many people will have suffered by then? I mean, polluting the environment is self-defeating over a sufficiently long term, but we don't want to let this self-regulation happen because it will come with extinction. We should strive for things being fixed sooner rather than later.

> We need to be the ones figuring out more clever ways to decentralize things and use all this cool tech we've created to allow individuals greater autonomy, and more ability to proper without requiring the trappings of the big enterprise.

I agree 100%.

> If Coase[1] was right[2], then the main reason "firms" exist is to reduce transaction costs.

Oh, thanks for the link. I don't know enough about this to comment.

> Regulation is just another disease, which is arguably a more dangerous variation of the first.

Regulation refers to a setting rules. It's dangerous because the state is powerful, but it can also exist devoid of private interests for this reason. Like the FDA ensuring food is safe, or urban planning ensuring all buildings get water, electricity and other basic services.

> Regulation leads to regulatory capture,

Like running leads to injuries; I mean, if done wrong things will fail.

> franchise agreements,

These sound like regulatory capture.

> taxpayer subsidized firms that can out compete the unsubsidized ones,

Is this necessarily wrong? Subsidized fire departments and public libraries certainly out-perform unsubsidized ones. On certain industries subsidies might not make sense, but if it's an industry where a business model is hard to maintain (like a fire department) then why oppose it? Part of the reason regulation exists is to avoid market failure; sometimes private actors don't suffice.

> ginormous military/industrial contracts, the F-35 debacle, Navy destroyers running Windows

This sounds like government doing business poorly, not like government setting rules for better management and avoiding market failure.

> all manners of corruption and artificial monopolies, etc.

Well, if you have a corrupt government then yeah. There's instances of regulation done well too, though.

The larger hyphothesis, if I understand correctly, is that RNA (and possibly DNA?) is the seat of long-term memory and has some hereditary or otherwise physically transferable component, while synapses would be our short-term memory, as well as the expression or "cache" of the former.

This, as well as the worm-eating-worm-acquires-its-memory research, if true (a big if) would vindicate so many theories, findings, and "magic" traditions from around the world.

From Carl Jung's Collective Unconscious:

Once Apple moves to arm you will have no choice, hackingtosh won't have anything but an old version of macosx. The only hardware that will be able to run macosx in 2 years would be in house at Apple.

As someone living off a steady stream of increasingly ancient Macbooks (the last 5 have been second hand 2011 MBPs), I simply don't give two hoots about recent Mac hardware any more - touchbars, keyboards with the tactile response of a Chinese pocket calculator, no escape key!??!, moronic peripheral ports, soldered on everything, meanwhile I am still attached to the software environment.

What I'd really love is a flexible modern laptop with a chipset drawing on architectural designs from the past decade, and Apple simply don't sell that combination any more.

IMO the 2011 era MBP is the peak of this form factor's design, and any subsequent 'evolution' past it will always be a regression in disguise. I really want this shell with modern guts. The Chromebook Pixel comes close, but that's another walled garden I don't want to buy into.

As much as I'd like to scoff at hackintosh users, a hackintosh laptop might be a viable option for someone like me to finally start breaking the chain.

Windows + WSL is also on my radar, dunno if I could tolerate Windows full time again though.
At the time, I wanted a gaming pc, 2-3 years later I wanted something to work with and Hackintosh worked surprisingly well. Besides some caveats, I am more than impressed.

My system has an i5 4590,16GB ram and an r9 380. At the time, something along these lines would have cost me double. Plus, this PC was a wip.
