Joe Rogan Experience [0]. I love that he sits down with people and actually has long in-depth conversations with them. Here's a few interesting ones:

* Let's start with his Elon Musk discussion [1]. It came out 2 weeks ago and it already has 14m views. They basically discuss a bunch of his ideas along with things such as AI and the future of humanity. It's fascinating to get a peek into the kind of person he is.

* His discussion with Matthew Walker has been one of the most enlightening ones for me [2]. He's a sleep expert, and in the podcast they go over different myths relating to that. There was recently a HN post [3] where some people were quoting him and his book.

* Another big favorite of mine was his discussion with Paul Stamets [4], a mycologist (i.e. a mushroom expert). They discuss some of the effects of different kinds of mushrooms, including psilocybin mushrooms (colloquially known as magic mushrooms).

* I loved his discussion with Gary Johnson [5], the Libertarian Party's presidential candidate for 2016. How many other presidential candidates would you imagine would be willing to sit down and answer hard-hitting questions for +2 hours? He also had a discussion with Larry Sharpe [6], the Libertarian Party's candidate for governor of New York in 2018. Full disclosure: I recently joined the Libertarian Party. Listening to these podcasts pushed me to learn more about their movement.

* He had a discussion with Mikhaila Peterson [7], the daughter of Jordan Peterson, which many might find interesting. She had been suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and other medical issues all her life, and switching to a carnivore diet made all the symptoms go away

I often think the same thing. There needs to be a UL type company that certifies a product or service isn't spying on you.
Exactly, it's the same force at play and it's arguably capitalism's biggest problem.

Nepotism (if it can be called that) tends to be inversely proportional to efficiency.

In most technical fields, the person you know is almost certainly not the best person for the job.
How does that benefit you though?
Yes it is using it wrong, because while some issues are indeed Swing interop bugs with the host GUI, others are lack of skills by not reading canonical books like "Filthy Rich Clients", written by Chet Haase and Romain Guy, the guys that drove most of Android rendering stack.

Romain Guy's team recently released Filament, https://github.com/google/filament

Back in the Sun days, Romain had a blog about writing nice looking Java UIs, which eventually lead to the "Filthy Rich Clients" book publication.
You're free to just depend on ci-info directly if that's all you need of course. The is-ci module does give you one added benefit however: It allows you to run this on the command line:

$ is-ci && echo "I'm running in a CI environment"

But of course that could technically be baked into ci-info. It's just more convenient to use with npx and to reason about if it's a self-contained module
I disagree. I think the only reason the rest of the world plays along is because the rest of the world is weak. The US are simply a bully.

But it's true that the advent of Trump makes the bullying more difficult to accept because it's now absurd and incoherent; if some other powers unite and find a way to resist the bullying, then at least some good will have come out of trumpism.

Because we've only been able to observe the universe in this way for a tiny little fraction of time on earth. So why should we think we know everything?
I think I get (and agree) with that you're putting down. Maybe this phrasing? :

"It's weird to think that the actions of the few who wield the most - but not the majority - of the power in the US are talked about as if they are the US."

Sometimes, we narrow this down; we say, the X administration. But is that accurate? Does it convey the emotional reality?

Maybe we should say; [Person], acting in their duty as [Role] on behalf of the US, has [action].

But, does this have the inevitable effect of distancing those people from the country that has given them power?

More than half the voting-power of the US voted for Trump, and some portion of that power is then invested in these decisions; at the same time, less than half the voting-power of the US voted for trump, and some portion of that power is then disinvested in those decisions.

It's almost like we need different words to describe the national entity when that entity is democratic than the words we inherited from monarchies.

Maybe we take a page from swarms - perhaps instead of "The US imposed sanctions", we say, "From the US emerged sanctions", or, "Those empowered by the US imposed sanctions". But, none of these use as few words as: "the US did X". Brevity wins.

I build internal tools in my organization. Most of our developers are on MacOS and use Chrome day to day. Most of our users are on Windows. Whenever a browser specific issue comes up, we do our best to address it, but our first response is typically "go install Chrome". Chrome adoption is 97% internally, 2.5% Safari, and the remaining 0.5% is Edge. We have a 0% internal Firefox usage rate.

Draw from that what you may, but I bet that dynamic is happening in other places.

Ah yes, but I logged on to Facebook at 8:12am and scrolled my news feed for a moment when I clicked a Chevrolet ad at exactly 8:15am (Facebook knows). I watched the video for exactly 12 seconds (Facebook still knows), then texted to my wife at 8:16am that we should think about getting a new car. I open up Reddit and log in at 8:17am and comment in /r/cars at 8:25 (Reddit knows). I started my Tesla at 8:32am and drove for 28 minutes (Tesla knows) to a Whole Foods, where I saved the location of my parked car (at almost exactly 9:00am) and entered the store. Grabbed a cold brew in a can and paid with my Visa card at 9:04 am (Visa knows), then walked to my office building and badged in through the door at 9:18 (my company knows), just in time to log on to the corporate network and send off a couple e-mails at 9:25, 9:26, and 9:29am. My whole day is tracked, timestamped and corroborated by third-parties already!

If we were able to easily collate the data that our workplaces, our GPS, our phones have on us it would be virtually impossible to place someone in a place they are not! And to go full dystopian, it's not too big a stretch to imagine the government would love to have exactly this.
mmm, you think they don't already know that?
Long story short - I was brave and stood up for myself, demanding the righteous thing.

I was 15 years old back then. I had just learned how to code and my hunger for programming was insatiable. I didn't think much, browsed through relevant classifieds and sent out a couple of honest e-mails stating that I really want to have a job, but I have no real life experience.

A company replied within a few days and they were interested. It was a very small company, consisting of a CTO and CEO. We agreed on 200$ for a portal type of website(it was a thing back then), with user sign-ups, public and private posts, comments and a few more things.

This company was hired by a rather large media company, to develop a dedicated website for them. I knew who was behind it and I was hoping that I would get recognized by the media company.

I dreamed about writing lines of code in my sleep, daydreamed through school and spent all time I could on coding the whole thing.

I think I was done in three months or so, and then came the day I asked to be paid. I had put daily changes on their FTP server, as we agreed, so I had literally no leverage. And they stopped responding. I tried reaching out to them in numerous ways, such as using my mom's cell to call the CEO, but he hung up immediately after realizing it was me who called.

As I realized that I had been scammed, since we did not have any form of written contract and had agreed that I would be paid in cash when the whole thing was done. Therefore I went on the media group's website, found the contact section and somehow managed to stumble upon the personal cellphone of the CEO of the media company. And I called him. I was an emotional teenager, but I spoke the truth. I did not have any demands other than to be heard. After a 10 minute long discussion where I explained that I was ripped off and worked for free for months, the CEO invited me over. I still remember the awe everyone was in, when they realized that a kid had just called them and walked through their front door in a few hours.

That phone call has been the best career decision I have ever made. The media company terminated their contract with the agency that had ripped me off because of terms violation - they were prohibited from outsourcing any development to any third parties, without a written permission given by the customer a.k.a media company.

And so I landed my first job! The people working for this media company were so genuine, mature and supportive, that I did not lose my love for what I did and had been in web development ever since.

It pays off to be brave and righteous in the end.
Well, in my opinion the only reason Google listens, is because people started uninstalling the Google Chrome browser, which means less profit.

You seem to be looking at the choice of opt-in vs. opt-out from the perspective of a user who actually cares about the feature.

Much more common, though, I'd say, is the type of user who will accept whatever the default is, because they just don't care.

Compare: the organ-donor registry. When it's opt-in, most people don't opt in. When it's opt-out, most people don't opt out. Most people just don't care.

If you think something is good for people, you have to consider the large group of users who don't want to put in the time/energy to evaluate whether the thing is good for them, but just want the program to shut up and do what it does by default—whatever that is.
It seems ironic that Universal 2nd Factor apparently means Yubikey only.
Why? It's worth pointing out. Just because some topic is emotionally heavy, doesn't mean other aspects of it can't or shouldn't be pointed out. It bothers me when someone may make a noteworthy point, and then someone else tries to make some inference on how they feel in general by compliment of what they didn't reference.

Great museums, aquariums, oceans, bays etc. easy access to SoCal with all their theme parks.

I don't know about that... Salaries in the UK are crap, much lower than in the EU; and I have the impression that London is only up in the stats because of the quant jobs, which while technically 'software development' jobs, are out of reach for most people that would consider themselves 'software developers'. Now I don't keep quite as close an eye on the UK job market as I used to, but even the job opening and contracts I see on mailing lists I'm on, don't make me want to jump ship...
Perhaps not quite what the OP is looking for, but I use podcasts mostly for music consumption. My favorite (for quite a while now) is The Anjunadeep Edition [1], which delivers a 1 hour continuously-mixed "deep" (often programming-friendly) electronic music every week. I'd be curious to hear what other music podcasts HN recommends.

Well, I can tell them how I listen to the radio... as soon as ads come on, I turn it off or tune to another station, and return no sooner than in 5 minutes once the ads are done. That is when I listen to the radio at all, which is rare for this exact reason; mostly it's just my own music via Bluetooth.

That was World War II for the most part. After World War II, most of the world was destroyed except for the US.

After the war, the US never left. Overseas bases still exist in Germany, Japan and many other places.

They had everyone adopt a financial system (Bretton Woods) which was largely abused making the US absurdly rich for a few decades... highways, higher education for a bunch of people, space exploration, absurd wars thousands of miles away, a gigantic navy and air force, you name it.

After other countries realized it was a scam (aka "exorbitant privilege"), this golden era ended and the US started to slowly meet reality, rapidly accumulating debt.

The inevitable fate of the US is to collapse in the same way the Soviet Union did in 1989. This will likely happen before 2050 and you read it first in the comments section of HN.

Once the US collapses, the Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance will be worthless and South America will be taken apart in a giant pinata party starting by the Argentinean Patagonia.

Care to elaborate? I work with both of them lately, consider me a novice programmer since I rarely write anything complex, but which part of ruby is not ideal for teaching?

I find the ruby syntax much more self-explanatory than python.

An example: recently, I had to use private methods in a python project. I went for the _method() convention, but priv methods don't exist in py.

For me it was leaving my PM role at a digital marketing agency for a developer role on a small but focussed product team. It was a sidestep in terms of remuneration and initially had fewer prospects for career progression, but only once I made the move could I see how toxic the agency environment had been and how much more rewarding the engineering work was (for me) than project/product management. I have since moved on to work for a startup. I work 100% remotely and love what I do and it wouldn't be possible if I didn't take the risk on that earlier move.

Purely statistically you cannot even compare them:

It's kind of irritating that we're always trying to keep up with the latest version. In a way, it's actually putting the power into their hands. Making it easier for them to get away with sleazier stuff because the majority are on the most recent version.

And because everyone's on the latest version, it's harder for individuals to downgrade or stay on old versions for longer without getting obsoleted.

It's actually closing the web. The excuse for aggressive upgrades & auto-updates are mainly for security purposes, with the side benefit of reducing the work of web developers. But on the flip side, it's actually huge centralization move.

I can think of many reasons to deliberately create software that is inefficient. Number one on the list is to make it more reliable. The number one reason software is rarely reliable is because code is more often than not complex to the point where the developer unsure whether it will work or not. In turn, this occurs most often when trying to maintain state via flags. If, instead of trying to maintain state, the software is designed so that the current state of objects is always a function of the original state of the object at the time the App started, you have an App that is potentially slow but like to be extremely reliable and extremely easy to read.

I always program this way these days and my Apps are always reliable. For example ToteRaider (see Toteraider.com), a complex gambling App, released 2.5 years ago is still on version 1. Zero defects in production and also zero defects in testing.

I'm the last person to defend google, but in the beginning a reasonable argument could be made that what they wanted was better performance of javascript and website rendering in general. Microsoft, Mozilla and Apple were the only engine developers in town. Two were the default on their OSs and Mozilla was the choice of those who made a choice. So there was no real incentive to compete on performance.

Chrome was introduced by Google with the idea of improving performance of webbrowsers in general so they could do more with web-apps. That did seem somewhat reasonable at the time.

But since Chrome became the market leader, the incentives have changed.
As a developer in Europe who also worked in the US.

I've no idea why would an average developer choose US over EU.

Here in EU, i just do minimum of what is expected from me and don't even take calls on holidays including weekend.

If i am sick, i go to government hospital and get treated for free.

Thanks to our welfare estate, there is simply no pressure to risk more.

I won't go homeless if i am out of job.

I simply focus on my family and my life.

Work can always wait. But can life wait? Noo.

Now if u are a rockstar who is is worth 100s of developers like a CEO or VP of engineering, i can see why you would choose US but average developers should never choose US where u can go homless the moment you are out of job.

I've no reason to work harder than i am already doing...

In US, there was always pressure to make more to save for rainy days this required throwing your own friends under the bus to save your job.

Second thing is, here most people look like me. They are like my own brothers and sisters. In US, not all people look like you, so it's quite difficult to not discriminate against them and throw them under the bus, it goes in both directions. Not my people, not my problem.

Because of Homegeneous society i feel more trust in European community. In US, it will never be the case which made me a bad human because i actively descriminated against different ethincs. Now, i feel much better in EU.
