I'm trying to figure out why this is a good HN comment. Should we care what smt88 says about anything? Does this comment represent the views of some significant group that he belongs to?

I honestly wish HN wouldn't even publish these kinds of comments, because it's clearly just an attempt to stir outrage. With billions of people online, at least one of them is going to say something stupid and/or offensive every day. What do we get by allowing all of that?
For the Air Force, the MVP is often something that can do a lot of damage. Some things require expensive upfront design. One cannot just iterate through two week sprints until the crew survives.
>99% of people of in large cities (>500k) that experience prolonged and complete food loss will perish without massive measures taken by a number of people an order of magnitude greater than those effected. The Caribbean hurricanes are an excellent case study into the realities of dealing with a near complete breakdown in government. With some not insignificant work a model could be created from the volume of data readily available from numerous providers. One could then extrapolate a number of factors to consider and model when designing a persistence plan. Those living in rural areas are more likely to weather these crises as they are less reliant on modern infrastructure for minimally viable persistence.

In this particular case, with a BDFL in Evan, there's probably a much higher chance of maintaining sanity between major releases. People were worried about the change to Vue 2.0, but it mostly sunsetted features that complicated the framework and doubled down on an elegant component system. Seems obvious to say, but frameworks probably get fractured in geometric proportion to the number of powerful authors working on them.
Would the yield per acre be higher because of no need for pesticides, and less loss of bad quality yields? Cos we know organic is more expensive as it yields far less than gm crops.

And would crops grow faster with 24/7 sunlight vs 12 hours?!?

The source code, with all the stuff removed that was licensed or probably violated some patent or GPL restrictions would be pretty useless.

It also suffers greatly from the lack of engineers working on it - as in some parts have a lot of comments, some nothing what so ever. Some parts look very well done, some parts less so.

Back in the day, I saw the code (those leaks were real) and one zip was able to fully compile (and this is where the PowerPC version of post R5.03 came from, I used to have it compiling on my old BeBox - long gone now) and the other was a much later version, but the zip was corrupt and half the files were garbled.

DISCLAIMER: No I don't have the code anymore, not that I would never share it if I did, and no, I have never worked for or contributed to the Haiku Project.

Having just watched "Won't You Be My Neighbor?", it's really interesting to read this piece. It overlaps the content of that documentary, but also explores other parts of Rogers' story that weren't covered in the film.

It's a really touching movie. I came away struck by the quiet radicalism of Rogers' mission to simply validate other human beings, especially children. He seemed to have honed the ability to climb the wall we put up to protect ourselves once we learn that we're on our own in this world, as that world invariably let's us down by ignoring us and invaliditating our dignity.

I didn't say it was both, but here goes. One caveat is that this is a very US/UK-centric response, and it might not resonate with worldviews of people from other places with different cultures and histories.

1) It's stupid because he's making an extremely opinionated comment without understanding the thing he's commenting on.

The push for diversity is not a push to remove white, "Oxbridge" (upper-crust) men from media. It's to recognize that media isn't anywhere close to being a meritocracy, and there are barriers for poor, minority, and/or female talent that didn't exist for people like Terry Gilliam.

The industry is growing, and there's space for Terry Gilliam, lots of other white men, and also people from other backgrounds. As we've seen with The Hurt Locker, Black Panther, Broad City, and other movies/TV, women/minorities can make very profitable and prestigious work. A true media meritocracy would be more diverse than what we're seeing right now.

2) Whether it's offensive depends on the person. Some people are offended by it because it implies that black lesbians are given things in society only because of their minority status.

People on that side of the issue would say that either A) that isn't happening, or B) it is (and should be) happening because black lesbians also have fewer opportunities than non-minorities and face discrimination.

The part you quote is followed by: "I was expecting a bigger difference between more/less experienced developers, ..."

So the article is saying that there is lots of Kotlin love from experienced developers (and this is as expected) but they were suprised to also see similar results with junior developers and students.

The text of the survey resluts page (linked in the article) makes the same point somewhat more clearly:

"In its early days Kotlin was being picked up mostly by experienced and professional developers, but since the announcement its usage has exploded with newer developers, especially students."

Playing the Trump to save retail Franchise
Scott started his first business venture at a very early stage with a readymade fashion store. His unique business model allowed him to open up a store at almost zero cost. He got introduced with the new brand franchise model which exposed him to the nitty-gritty’s of brand retailing and the franchisee business challenges. With the advent of online trading platforms the franchisee business were been hit by declining sales.

Scott quickly learned that the franchisee businesses need a comprehensive solution to enhance the business opportunities. He realized that a franchise store can be profitable if they generate revenue and cut down their losses by disposing the dead-stock.

Scott’s Idea to aggregate dead stock of franchisees and selling it through an e-comm platform revolutionized the retail business. For technical expertise, Scott partnered with Leo TechnoSoft to designing and developing an e-commerce platform with the automated processes for catalogue management, tax calculation, Purchase order Management, invoicing, labeling, dispatch etc…. The e-comm platform opened up new opportunities from global venues for franchise owners and a new revenue generation source. The platform did wonders for franchisee owners and infused new hopes.

It is again a success for the BOMT model, a hybrid partner product development model.

It's not a coincidence that most Docker containers are built using Debian- or Red Hat-derived images. It's because they have proper packaging systems which are consistently applied, which is what allows them to build and maintain 10s of thousands of projects in a reusable format. The intersection of "correct" and "usable" substantially overlap; certainly much more so than "incorrect" and "usable".

Don't confuse expedience with usability.

"the mysterious Platonic bridge between the mathematical and the physical" (31).

This bridge between mathematics and physics can be well explained in the thought of Thomas Aquinas. Mathematical objects have a a foundation in extramental reality, but their notions are completed by an act of the mind. Physical objects have an immediate foundation in reality (e.g. 'stone' in this stone), and mathematical objects have a remote foundation in reality (e.g. 'line' in a 'stone' of this stone). Mathematical objects are "mental elaborations remotely based on real quantity but proximately on the mind's constructive activity" (Maurer, 55).

See Armand Maurer, "Thomists and Thomas Aquinas on the Foundation of Mathematics," Review of Metaphysics 47 (1993): 43-61.

HN is a comment section for articles. Nobodies like me comment here. That's the whole point. It's an enjoyable place to comment because the topics aren't as broad as other news sites. Do you want to read about the Kardashians here? Sometimes The Guardian covers them, too.

The Guardian is ostensibly a news organization, and it's fair to wonder why they're posting something of questionable newsworthiness. The value of many publications is in their editing.

> 3) Shipping is cheap. It may make us feel good that a salad's greens were created on a roof-top in Brooklyn, but using some of the most expensive real-estate on Earth to save a few cents on shipping is beyond economically irrational.

Short-term economical considerations aren't the only considerations. Cities that can't sustain themselves through local resources are vulnerable to strategic attacks on infrastructure, as but one example.

>1) No, land is not expensive. In agricultural areas, land is quite cheap. Organizing shelves of crops vertically solves for a problem that isn't actually a problem.

No it solves the problem of not having to truck food hundreds or thousands of miles, or ship food halfway around the world.

Cities are dense, most cities have less than a week of food in them (seriously, go to a grocery at odd hours, figure out when the trucks come, you'll see aisles with nearly bare shelves where the most common products have sold out sometimes 2-3x a week).

Vertical growing allows you to place food growing operations just on the edges of population centers, or even inside population centers. You can drastically cut down how far you have to move food. You can allow fruits and vegetables to get closer to ideal maturity before harvesting instead of picking early and artificially aging with gasses at distribution centers just before the product goes to stores. We throw away something like 1/4-1/3 of food in the United States depending on what data you look at. ONE QUARTER TO ONE THIRD of all food ends up in the trash, some of that is spoilage in the prodution and retail chain and some of it is neglect by the end user. Moving your growing operations much closer to the delivery point not only helps improve quality of the food and reduce damage & spoilage in transit but drastically reduces the amount of fossil fuels needed to transport food. The U.S. imports 50 percent of its fresh fruits, 20 percent of its fresh vegetables.

>The sun is free and electricity isn't cheap.

This is true and one current limitation to doing this. However getting people more open to nuclear, advancement of the PV industry and hopefully practical fusion in the near future will all help with this considerably.

>Shipping is cheap

Financially, not environmentally. See above... 50% of our fruit in the US is imported. That means it is picked well before being ripe, loaded into cargo containers and fumigated, shipped hundreds or many thousands of miles at which point some % is lost to spoilage or just damage, can sit at a port for days or weeks in the event of a strike, gets unloaded to truck or rail and shipped to regional distribution centers, is then either sold to factories or to retail chains and often artificially ripened via calcium carbonate or just flat out gassing it with ethylene, if going to retail it'll often get trucked to yet another distribution center before being trucked to the store and put on a shelf. That's insanely inefficient.

>In agricultural areas, land is quite cheap.

Compared to buying an acre in a downtown perhaps, farm land with decent soil, decent annual precipitation and water rights can be quite expensive as far as undeveloped land goes.

It's worse than that. The way our minds work, labels are part of our self-image. Once we attach a label to our identity it becomes part of who we are and we often try to conform to the expectations of the label.
I too would focus on getting money out if the choice is between money and more users, when you're the fourth biggest site in the US and the sixth biggest site worldwide (as of a month ago; if I remember correctly; based on Alexa stats).
Not even attacks on infrastructure. Cities have alarmingly little amount of food, most cities only have a few DAYS of food in grocery stores. Get a natural disaster, a decent strike, thread of a hurricane (notice how shelves get bare on the news in cities expecting hurricanes... it's not because everyone is coming and buying 10 cases of water each and 100 cans of beans and 40 gallons of milk, it's because everyone is coming and buying a few days of groceries at once. Go to groceries at random times, figure out when their trucks come, you'll be able to go 2-3x a week and see bare shelves around the time the trucks are scheduled to come).

If any other country was going to do it, it might have been Greece during the financial crisis, but ultimately the same pressures apply: no country can pull up the drawbridge. Dependency on trade, investment, and migration of skilled staff is the backbone of a modern society. And leaving the EU does not make Europe go away, it just removes that country from the decision-making process.
