It's not just high speed that makes helmets useful: you can get a brain injury just falling over when you're stopped, if you hit your head on something hard (like asphalt or concrete, which most roads and sidewalks and curbs tend to be made of).

People's bodies simply were not evolved for a concrete environment. Helmets are how we deal with that.

Honestly, all of these "I refuse to use social media!" type articles just remind me of people who spam "all the music of this generation sucks; I'm 14 and I was born in the wrong generation" on YouTube videos.

Going against the mainstream often is a package deal that comes bundled with a superiority complex against people who choose to engage in the activity that you choose not to engage in.

I saw a comment in this very HN thread that goes so far as to say that youth who use social media display "intellectual vulnerability," and that _not_ using social media is an asset warranting immediate hire.

Social media exists as a way to facilitate communication online over a long-distance, i.e. old friends who now live in different places. Problems that we think are "unique" to social media, like the loudest, wrongest voices getting the most attention, exist in human society outside of social media as well. It's not an exclusive phenomenon.

Of course, not everybody has to use social media.

But you're not a special snowflake just because you don't have an app installed on your phone...
Wow, Gokay codes were as advanced as I got but Fountain codes sound downright magical in comparison.
I looked over the code for it, because earlier this year I was trying to make a turn based game that merged the gameplay of Imperialism II with the production tree depth of Factorio while having unique little sim like creature with traits that could be bred and inherited and so anytime I can learn something about how to structure code for TBS I'm pretty interested.

Anyhow: it looks pretty incomplete for example here is the GAME.playTurn() function:

GAME.playTurn = function () {
// 0. AUTOSAVE
// TODO

// 1. START OF TURN
// TODO

// 2. TRADE
// TODO

// 3. CITY MANAGEMENT
// TODO

// 4. MOVEMENT
// TODO

// 5. RESEARCH
// TODO
};

So I am not sure that `npx serve` will work and do anything meaningful, or if maybe the logic is in different file / branch.

Earlier this morning I spent 45 minutes in a meeting discussing the replacement for a $4 million big data system we bought 2 years ago because no one was using it. The solution discussed wasnt to ask the analysts why no one was using it but to spend $20k on POCs for two competing systems each costing a further $5mil as their on-paper specs are marginally superior.

It looks like check can be used in calling chains.

That is, if F is string to string,error, and G is empty to string,error then

s := check F(check G())

either assigns a string to s, or calls the handler.

I often have a hard time networking because I was raised by two very serious people who took their jobs very seriously. I made the mistake of moving to Chicago where it seems like the accepted way to "make friends" at work is for everyone to pick someone to be "Dwight Shrute" and they bond by crapping all over them as much as they can.

I can't begin to tell you how utterly distasteful, unprofessional, and pretty shocking this I find this considering I work in a field full of nerds.

I have no qualms about leaving workplaces with toxic cultures like this (about 90% in Chicago). I have no desire to recommend or be recommended by people who's idea of bonding is forming a clique of bullies, find job security in doing as little training and professional development for new employees as they can get away with, and excuse their own poor performance by drinking until they can't remember their own name.

My work speaks for itself and has been enough to get me in the door wherever I want to go at the salaray I deserve.
Thanks. I will read up some more about imposter syndrome.

I find that acidic juices such as Orange or Ananas juice cleans out most of the gunk that builds up overnight and gives you a short boost through the sugar in them. The sugar can usually cover until the coffee after begins to work so you don't get that period of slouch after drinking coffee before it works (drinking something warm tends to make drowsy too so you possibly get more tired after drinking coffee). Skipping/preventing this short moment of weakness improves on the day a lot.

You can't even as questions as if you're a newbie struggling to learn something new. Everything is set so that you already need to be a SME out-of-the-box and they don't provide good resources for you to get to that level.
Good point. The piece is sound in the abstract and is good advice to recall when you consider the essence of your endeavors, but tooling does count when you consider the material situation—some approaches become untenable at certain magnitudes. Funily enough, the best we can do is often trade a big problem for a smaller one—« how do we serve X million people » becomes « how do we teach x thousand employees to use the tool that enables us to serve X million people «

A handle block has access to all variables that are in scope. So if you have partial results that you want to return is a check fails you can return them in the handle block if they are already declared/assigned. The easier way to handle this is using named return variables which are always in scope. If no partial results have been assigned then they will be returned as zero values otherwise the partial results can be set.
It feels like more of the Linux desktop world is increasingly tied to things that are either dispositionally incompatible or incompatible license-wise with the BSDs. For example dbus, Wayland, and systemd are all problematic for BSD for various degrees of problematic.

If I were interested in a long-term stable desktop ecosystem on BSD, and I were part of a core team, I’d start a cooperative project to build BSD-licensed cleanroom implementations of launchd, the NeXTStep APIs, and a desktop environment that stayed as close to macOS metaphors as possible.

I have to imagine that there are some corporate sponsors who’d be delighted for a mostly source-compatible, BSD-licensed path to writing apps for both macOS and also appliances and other devices.

A while back Sony seemed poised to work on a NeXTStep compatible UI layer, going as far as posting some code IIRC, before pulling the plug.

That may be what was happening --It makes me wonder, if we say that someones higher baseline intelligence is hidden behind some semi-permanent condition like chronic inflammation or poor sleep patterns, is that really their baseline?

In very cold climates, you're better off with just burning fuel (natural gas is available in most of the U.S. very cheaply, although this is probably not the case outside the U.S.). But it turns out that GSHPs have a lot of losses related to pumping and other inefficiencies to where the difference in efficiency between a state of the art inverter-driven ASHP and a GSHP really isn't that high. Especially considering the often HUGE upfront cost of installing a GSHP.

Google for "Inverter Air Source Heat Pump vs Ground Source" or similar. For example, see:

Personally, though I ride a road bike, I wear a fairly standard MTB helmet. Really, I like the visor more than anything, but I do think it has better protection all-around.

I also use MTB (Shimano SPD) pedals: they're easy to clip in and out of, and I can wear normal-looking shoes that I can actually walk normally in.

The racing stuff is just ridiculous: it gets you a tiny improvement in performance at a huge penalty in usefulness. If you're not actually racing, it's pointless.
If you don't see how spending all day on Facebook, Snapchat and Instagram could be affecting your mental health then obviously you won't understand everyone else's concerns and distaste for Social Media.

The problem may actually be solved by a free market... But it has to have different optimizations.

"Value" or "Quality" of a company has to stop being measured in unconstrained growth and instead measured in minimized externalities, while achieving your stated goal.

Accounting has to become a hell of a lot more complicated. We're talking "keep track of your industrial waste product", possibly even having to take responsibility in some manner for dealing with it directly.

There also needs to be some societal change as well. We need to Look at how we've stretched our supply and industry chains worldwide and start to figure out ways to minimize transportation and production costs.

Competition may need to fundamentally change it's nature as well. Trade secrets need to be ripped out into the light of day. It's not a contest of out doing the other guy, but to see who can find a way to make the entire industry more efficient.

Definitely a lot of change needed. That is for sure.
London's bad enough that you can see and taste the change in air roughly when you reach Hendon on the M1, that it leaves clothes and person dirtier, and generally feels unpleasant like sitting in a room full of smokers. Bad enough to want to avoid it.

Which makes reading of cities around the world where it's significantly worse that much gloomier.
The two don't really compare. Poetry is a form of literature. I can use Twitter as a medium for writing and publishing poetry.

A poem written on Twitter and deleted the next day is no more permanent or long-lasting than a poem that's solely available in the oral tradition, perhaps much less so.

Why are epics such as Beowulf or the Epic of Gilgamesh considered literature while others aren't? It's because someone at some point recorded them in a more permanent manner so future generations could read them in their unadulterated form (as much as that can be said of stories that probably had been changed and embellished multiple times already before someone wrote them down).

A thread on Twitter however can be deleted, added to, remixed, retweeted and forked at any time, which certainly are very interesting properties for creating art but I'm not sure if that art should be called literature or rather something else entirely.

Anyway, as originally stated what does and doesn't constitute literature isn't very precisely defined. So, this probably is hairsplitting anyway.
xattr is arguably worse for NTFS. While there is no limit to NTFS extended attributes, they are represented transparently as a separate file on the filesystem. Unlike where on linux all tools will suffice to copy xattrs because they are part of the file, on Windows, a copy tool needs to be aware of xattrs or they will be lost.

Relying on f_fsid as an actual filesystem id is batshit stupid. It is only "guaranteed" (And, bear in mind, POSIX doesn't specify anything in relation to f_fsid, so I have no idea what authority is guaranteeing this claim) that f_fsid+inode creates a uniquely identifying pair. Aside from that, a filesystem could fill it with literally anything to assure that. As the linux documentation says: "Nobody knows what f_fsid is supposed to contain"

See, the Linux documentation on statvfs:

The general idea is that f_fsid contains some random stuff such that
the pair (f_fsid,ino) uniquely determines a file. Some operating
systems use (a variation on) the device number, or the device number
combined with the filesystem type. Several operating systems
restrict giving out the f_fsid field to the superuser only (and zero
it for unprivileged users), because this field is used in the
filehandle of the filesystem when NFS-exported, and giving it out is
a security concern.

The problem with your source is that it doesn't negate what the OP is saying.

We have countless examples of people acting in a mob mentality manner because of social media. Moral panic in many ways is a type of mob mentality. I'm not exactly sure how an example (your wikipedia link) of people acting in senseless ways because of what everyone else is doing is supposed to negate people acting in senseless ways because of what everyone else is doing.

There is direct evidence of social media influencing bad patterns of behavior, even if you wouldn't consider this an obvious point, there is hard evidence for it. Everything from which hunts, to bullying people, to SWAT'ing, to getting people to shoot up a pizza place.

>but the state tends to do it even worse.

I'm not sure what evidence there is for the state not being able to adequately control socially-negative behaviors (well, besides drug use, but there is an extreme biological motivation for drug use). We often look to the state in times of social crisis or socially tense situations and it's done a pretty damn good job. Saying the "state does it worse" seems like bald-assertion that ignores the countless examples of where the state sufficiently guides social practices. You could very well argue that you don't like the state doing this, but the state is definitely able to consistently influence social behaviors. Everything from the FCC regulating content to the government influencing common sexual practices.

OP seems to be basing his opinions and perspectives in actual experience and with evidence, without resorting to typical "the government can't do that (even though it already does)" talking points. So good on him.

If it wasn't obvious I definitely think we should be regulating on-line content. The modern internet has shown that it's a tool, and it can be used to empower the darker sides of human behaviors. There is absolutely nothing wrong with curtailing that.

I'm Gen X, and unless you count message boards and HN-like places I've never used social media.

Not because I thought "the music of this generation sucks" but because it was easy to see the horrific way the Internet was going to go with walled gardens and centralization. I predicted 10 years ago if you uploaded and tagged photos on facebook you were giving up 100% of your privacy forever, as now every single photo of you ever taken (private or in public) will eventually be tracked to a name. I think generations coming up today really missed out on seeing the potential of the Internet, and what's it's become is nothing resembling the dreams of the 90's.

There are far more reasons to be wary and not participate in social media than "I'm just better than everyone".

And yes - it's a huge hit to your ability to continue an active social life. But things like SMS, Instant Messenger phones, e-mail, etc. still exist. The other downside is you tend to collect friends willing to deal with that, so it can kind of put you into a bubble if you don't reach outside your comfort zone.

I've found dating someone with an already established social media presence (e.g. too late to opt out, why bother) is a decent compromise :)

We consider it a glorified cron replacement. The main selling point is its scheduling feature and the ability to view logs via the web UI it provides.

You write DAGs in Python to do 'stuff', schedule it to run, say, every hour. You can then get a history of its runs, failures, what went wrong. Rerun things if needed.

Those are the pros.

Cons - when new devs try to treat it as a programming paradigm, things can get difficult to work with. Some aspects aren't easily automatable - eg creating users. Needs to make its authentication options obvious and would be good to have some finer grain control over who can do what in the Airflow UI.

Overall we're quite happy with it and also using it for datascience as well as data feeds, data workflows, ETL processes.
My head is nodding at the intention here, but it's important to remember this reactionary attitude can be damaging as well. That is missing from the post.

Specifically, reactionary conservatism about tools and services can be a competitive disadvantage.

In several workplaces I have seen this attitude co-mingle with pride in original code, and result in a counter-productive NIH (Not Invented Here)[0] attitude (reinventing wheels). Macho/heroism makes it worse.

While trend-following can be inefficient, if the engineers are both excited and humble and ready to weigh many trade-offs, this inefficiency might be "cheaper" than reinventing wheels for all problems.

Cue platitude: it takes balance :)

EDIT:

To clarify I'm talking especially about _uninteresting problems,_ for which there may be an obvious off-the-shelf solution, such as when I've seen engineers invent a build system from scratch (and then cost _lots_ over years as that custom thing needs maintenance) ... when their needs could have been met by the language's standard tooling and using its plugin architecture.

Or, when "just use sticky notes and a whiteboard" gets so stubborn that a growing team stays in chaos for lack of organization.

On the other hand, it is quite bad when trend-following causes not just churn (switching tools), but overkill that introduces tons of cost and risk. i.e. distributed systems where you didn't need one.

>I have friends who are avid cyclists, but who limit their riding to dedicated bike paths or off-road trails, because they don't feel safe riding on the roads.

That's basically how I am. I live in the DC area, and luckily for me there's tons of really nice bike paths like the W&OD trail. I can easily ride 50+ miles in one ride here just sticking to these trails, and see a lot of different parts of the area. Or I'll ride on subdivision roads that are very low-traffic. But there's no way I'm riding on normal high-traffic roads around here; it's just too dangerous.

It's not a service, it's a penalty. I believe the whole point of this bill is to remove monetary penalties against people who haven't been convicted of a crime. The state pays for it as a cost of law enforcement. If they think they're paying too much, they find a cheaper vendor or use it more sparingly.

Law enforcement is a cost to society. Budget for it appropriately. If you find it's getting too expensive, look at ways to reduce costs. Maybe prosecute fewer drug crimes. But don't pass the cost along to those who are accused without any conviction.
I'll correct myself. Apparently it's more like $13k, not $44k. At least as of now. Although it depends. Still, the point is to make schools compete and to make new schools pop up - so that the overall quality will go up.
Wow, there is a whole gopher community again! That's amazing!
Wait but this is not fail proof right. For example I can post that Kolkata Knight riders will defeat Mumbai Indians along with a post that Mumbai Indians will defeat Kolkata Knight riders and delete the wrong twitter post once the competetion is over?
