The idea that you can have a quality debate in 250 chars or less is fundamentally what's wrong with the quality of debate.

The format itself encourages people to gloss over nuance, ignore complexity, and simply declare a position which anyone who disagrees is at least wrong and very possibly evil, depending on the topic.

Twitter is a great platform for shooting the shit, rapidly conveying breaking news, and snappy one-liners. It's actively bad for any kind of in-depth analysis. Twitter should focus on improving the patform's natural strengths, not trying to make it into something it can only ever fail at.
Hibernation?
Something has gone very wrong in our industry. Typical in-house CRUD used to be relatively straightforward and a handful of developer/analyst hybrids could handle the vast majority of projects using tools like PowerBuilder, Delphi, Oracle Forms, etc. Now it takes roughly 5x longer and has to be divided into specialists, including a front-end specialist. JavaScript gizmos are always "breaking" when new browser versions come out. It makes DLL-Hell of the 90's look good in comparison.

Sure, the tools mentioned were more difficult to deploy to users, but we jacked up programming costs to gain deployability. We need better standards: HTML/JS/CSS/DOM is okay for some things, but one-size-fits-all has dragged down a lot of specialities, including in-house CRUD. Maybe we need one standard for "eye-candy" and games, and another for git-er-done GUI's.

I had hoped "The Web" would mature and solve the bottlenecks, but it didn't. Are we really stuck with 5x the programming resources? Accountants, wake up and bop IT on the head.
If you follow enough active users, it seems you never see the Like notifications -- I hadn't in the past 5 years even known Like notifications existed until I recently created a new test account.

That's a bit of an oversimplification I think. That HTTP upload is/should be wrapped in a TLS connection.

The drugs are clearly listed in the paper, as has been mentioned here in the comments already.
The trouble is, how often do you see a Reddit discussion show up in a Google search with helpful information? This is a rarity for me, and I don't think it has anything to do with how Google sorts results. The same voting system prioritizes pithy memes and snark comments over helpful discussion. While you might have to wait longer, I would argue that you are far better off asking a question on a dedicated forum vs. a subreddit. Fora have their own problems, but voting systems typically seem to encourage low quality content to gather imaginary points, hacker news is the only site with voting I've seen that stays tolerable.
The drugs are listed in the actual paper.

A lot of people are coming from cleaner places, and those places aren't necessarily big cities. Rather, suburbs and rural areas.
> Seems like these would come in as windows sales.

No, they count as Linux sales, that was said explicitly by Valve. Even GOG counts Linux downloads of Windows games (they rely on user agent). Not sure how they share that info with developers though.
Pretty sure it counts as a linux sale if the buyer spends more time playing on Linux than Windows within a time window (I think 2 weeks).
Thank you very much for your candor and honest engagement. You made me feel better about America's future.

>The clip I linked is from a film which is one of the best-selling and most critically successful pieces of Americana.

This is true, but I would like to take issue with this scene in particular. The guy might not have been a Nazi sympathizer - he might have thought that the Soviet Union was far worse, and it was better not to have intervened.

>If the court had been less tolerant, they would have spared 6 millions Jews, 20 million Russians, and many others.

Yes, and the Soviet Union had already murdered 3-8 million people in the Ukraine famines before the war started. It's not easy to make moral calculations in foreign policy.

>how much obligation do we have to give a talking stick to a movement that condones torture for fun

There's no doubt that's disgusting, but I would put it to you in a different way: wouldn't you rather the "movement" be given the right to speak so that they can expose themselves as lunatics to the public? Violent (or peaceful) suppression magnifies the amount of potential sympathy they could gather in the public eye.

Who can precisely define the line between "beyond the pale" and "normal speech"? If you can't put it in words that can be written down and made law, then it's merely a matter of subjective opinion. Human history has taught us that suppression is used against all kinds of minorities, virtuous and otherwise. It's best to avoid it altogether, for fear of endangering human liberty.
Did you read the article?

"The drug rapamycin is currently administered following organ transplants to prevent the body's immune system from rejecting the transplanted organs, but previous experiments by other research groups showed that it extends the lifespan of many organisms, including the C. elegans worms, fruit flies and mice"

Dr Gruber's team administered combinations of two or three compounds targeting different ageing pathways to C. elegans (worms).
I had no idea it existed until this HN discussion, and I have a feeling a lot of other people are in the same boat.
At this point SUSE is just as niche in Europe as it is anywhere else.

In an enterprise setting, why would you throw your lot in with a company that seems to change owners every few years rather than the biggest name in open source that also now happens to be owned by IBM?
Honestly : go out and engage with your community.

If things go wrong you will be far more likely to get by if people know you, like you and are prepared to look out for you or throw you a bone. Your neighbours probably won't look after you unless you are an exceptional person, but they may well feed your family once or twice, help you board up or fix a roof (on the tacit understanding that you will do the same for them) or trust you more than the scary bunch in pickup trucks.

Really - social ties would count more than anything. Collective action is much more potent than machine guns.
You can turn just about any short game into a long game and any long game into a short one. Just apply the same thoughts and strategies to the short game as you would to the long one.

Those MIT guys who turned blackjack into a business is a great example of the former, and amateur day trading is a great example of the latter.

It's not what you do, it's how and why you're doing them.
Curious, are you using Mr. Money Mustache for that estimate?

It seemed on point for this post: http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2012/01/13/the-shockingly-sim...

If so you should probably update your comment to say "invest" instead of "save," which sounds nitpicky but the difference is huge.
The trick is it can be very hard to predict what will make you happy in the future.
It would be wonderful, but not likely, since Google is pushing it, and they gave completely spurious reasons for not including it in HTTP/2. I see no reason for this to be any different.

The first expansion came out in 2007. It's coming up on eleven years.

We're talking about a decade.

So even if you take the announcement as an implication they're actually going to do it (I personally don't think it's going to happen, we will not see a 1.x.x release go live again without dramatic changes), six years ago it would still be illegal under this framework to fix a game you bought because at some indeterminate point in the future the manufacturer could appear again.

Hell, even the _announcement_ was a year ago.

I would think a few thousand peoples efforts could be better used to help keep society together than to stock food, water, seeds, and tools. Or if they really want to be a net gain for some FEMA scaled disaster, help everyone in their community have food, water, and sanitary supplies stored away.
>You can either choose to do things that'll make you happy now, but also in the future (like exersize or working on a coding project), or you can do things that make you happy only now (like playing a video game).

That's an obvious choice. But things like "exersize" are not things that make most people happy "now". They are things they have to force themselves to perform (at least initially).
This is lazy or mendacious journalism.

A few Tweets are quoted to give the impression of widespread outrage.

that is a clever strategy -- there's a reason so many blogspam websites use it.
This article fails to wholly contextualize the reasons why some people play the short game vs the long game. There are systematic reasons why it may take significantly more effort and sacrifice to play the long game for very little real gain. For example:

Why invest in your relationship with your partner today when you can work a little bit extra in the office?

Consider the hypothetical: My partner has health issues that requires me to earn more money to support us both/cannot work. Or I need to earn more money to pay for daycare/college for my children. Or my field is very demanding and also job prospects are slim, so I need to work longer and harder than average to avoid being laid off during the next restacking.

Some more familiar hypothetical: I work at a startup and if we succeed my partner will be set for life.

Why wait to pay for a phone in cash, when you can put it on your credit card?

Consider this hypothetical: I don't have the cash, ever, but I need the phone to get a better job so I could pay off the debt I enter when investing in a phone.

Why go to the gym when you can go drinking with your friends?

Consider this hypothetical: Due to working 12/14/16 hour days normally, I can only see my friends when I go out drinking with them on certain days of the week. My job is extremely stressful and my friends are my only emotional support.

Essentially, I'm not impressed by the reasoning displayed here. It's a general advisement that does not contain enough nuance, or even the option of a more nuanced life context.

While this advice suits a minority of people who are well-off enough such that they have stable, long-term gainful employment and enough time/resources to plan their lives, I would suggest an additional nuance that there are contextual situations that justify behaviors against the traditional short term vs long term sensibilities, in the same way that there are contextual situations where getting a codebase to work should be prioritized compared to getting a codebase to function in a readable, clever, efficient, well-thought-out architecture.
You are on a team though. If you are better than everybody else then your team is missing out on your code reviews.
Well, some things, like better health, are no brainers...

I don't have access to the source, I have no idea why it doesn't work on (EDIT: Modern) Windows, and I don't remember what happened when I last tried it on Wine; when that didn't work, I settled for the VM approach I described, which does.
> so why not make designers code?

Well... I don't want to force someone to do that, but I'd really really really prefer if design people actually did code sometimes, so they understood the reality of what they're 'designing' from an implementation standpoint.

It may take you 6-8 hours to mockup something that is ... logically impossible, which someone 'signs off' on, then 40 hours for someone else to try to cobble together - pushing back is 'combative' and 'negative', etc.

You know how designers don't like people who ask for stuff that "pops" and then want more "pop"? Designers 'designing' stuff that creates practical impossibilities or gaps in state, etc. - programming folks hate that just as much as you hate 'make it pop' requests.

Hey - cool - you "designed" a form with 3 elements! The actual implementation options are 17 for that area. What should happen with 0 selected? Do we want notifications or help text?

Nice - that design looks really slick with 3 checkboxes in a pulldown, but you've sort of just invented a widget that doesn't really exist, will create accessibility nightmares, and you didn't show how this should behave on mobile/tablets.

The number of design people I've met who can actually reconcile clean design with real implementation, usability and accessibility issues addressed is very small.
In the end it's just going to lead people to using the "dark web" more and more. Making for it to be harder to monitor. It also doesn't help that registrars are pulling the plug as well, because you can't truly be your own registrar.
That is so much better handled by just letting your users control their own feed.
And you expect everybody to remember which site one should visit.

People are aware that they're not required to sign any contract they're not happy with, right? You are well within your rights to cross through any section of a contract or amend it until you're happy with it.

I've routinely done this with every contract I've ever signed. Nothing gets signed without legal scrutiny on my part and it never will; and I've quite literally never had a potential client or employer balk at this.

All of them have agreed that my amendments have been quite reasonable - and that includes scrubbing through any sections that prevent me from working for other clients or writing my own projects, commercial or otherwise.

Ensuring a contract is fair and equitable is part of doing business. There is nothing wrong with this. When you work for a company, you are still an autonomous person with your own agency. Any company that seeks to deny that agency don't deserve your employ.

Any reasonable and honourable company expects you to review contracts and amend them. You shouldn't feel bad about doing this. Nor should you feel coerced by the fact that they have given you a one sided contract. Make it equitable.

I don't care if you're IBM, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook or God almighty, himself. If you choose to attempt to quell my agency, our relationship is done. I will not be denied my agency and neither should anyone else.

Those companies that over-reach in a bid to control their employees are unscrupulous. This is the same kind of toxic behaviour that people seek to avoid in their relationships, yet somehow they're quite willing to live their life working in relationships like this... I don't understand the double standard.

I've heard soooooo many people say that "contracts are just standard paper and if I rock the boat I won't get the job."

Don't be bullied into signing a contract because you feel like you don't have any other option.

Contracts are not "standard paper," they are legally binding documents that seek to limit your behaviour. Don't let any employer reach outside their jurisdiction and into your personal life. Ever.
Well, let's see... After a career of 35 years she had 6 millions. Did she save 171k a year off her teacher salary? "They didn't throw anything away" said the lawyer. I'm not sure how a school teacher who makes 50k a year will save 170k a year by not "throw away anything".

Or maybe... She got lucky with some investments, maybe real estate. That reminds me all the stories of engineers who retire early by "saving instead of spending" that start by "I got 500k from stocks when the startup I worked for got bought out".

Sure, saving every year and investing instead of buying everything credit is a good thing, just like avoid to sink all your savings + 25 years mortgage when you buy a house, and many Americans especially need to be reminded that. But showing a lady who end up with 6M "just by playing the long game" sounds a lot like the old Adam Smith/American dream bullshit. "If you work hard and save, one day you'll be a millionaire". That's bullshit. You can't become a millionaire just by saving your blue collar salary (or school teacher salary) and saving up instead of overspending.
But it requires configuring a plugin in the browser. And every single browser has a possibility to show a webpage of your choice, or a blank page, on every new tab (?)

Edit: wait what browsers don't do this anymore? I can set my firefox to show the page I want for a new window but for a new tab I just get to choose between the default and blank. When did this break? I'm sure this worked last time I tried (which was probably pre 2000)
Not to mention playing with a controller is a very different experience. A lot of younger people are probably already familiar enough with them, but I'm a fossil and need my keyboard and mouse.

There's a broad category of social turmoil that is life threatening but not quite the magnitude of "professional military starts attacking citizens." Say bands of political extremists of whatever flavor start attacking towns, or other smaller-scale (in comparison to outright civil war) acts of violence erupt. I don't dispute your anecdotes from the Balkans, but using it as blanket proof to say that firearms won't ever be of benefit in times of civil unrest is not effective.

She seems like a nice lady, I think its good to be sensible but having a family, spending some money to enjoy life while you're here is a better strategy imo.

Some context may be helpful, but the short of it is that I wouldn't look too far into those numbers.

1. Officially, Proton is only supported on Ubuntu. It doesn't stop you from trying though and many Arch-based OS reports are just as successful.
2. Reports people submit includes pasting Steam system info, which for some Arch installations reports as 'Linux 4.x' unless they install additional an additional library.

If you're feeling generous, count the 'Unknown' category as Arch-based.
Carriers should be selling bandwidth allocations, not "data". Cheap plans can only use a small % of total available bandwidth on a particular tower, while more expensive plans can get a bigger slice. Finally they should offer a ridiculously expensive plan that gives you the entire tower's bandwidth in the rare cases you need it (priced at the tower's cost for the carrier, since you're essentially buying out the entire tower for yourself). I don't expect anyone to use this full-time, but there were a few times when I needed tons of mobile bandwidth and wouldn't mind paying thousands for it.
How does Kiwi compare to Squash?
So back around 2003 I was working at Adaptec (an IBM spinoff) and we were trying to put together a build system, I think I ended up front-ending it around DamageControl, which was a Ruby port of CruiseControl, except I had to hand-code a fake "SCM" module to run timed (versus commit-based builds). Our builds took like 8 hours! At that time, I really wanted to help people with build environments but never really did it.

Then, what sort of happened is I kept running into overly complex Jenkins installs. The typical miles of config checkboxes was overwhelming for me, but a larger problem was that organizations would have like 200 microservices projects, and all the build scripts would be slightly different.

The idea was then to take the templating system from Cobbler - which allows lots of variables merged in at various levels, and Jinja2, and allow reuse of build scripts through variables and snippets.

There was some other frustration with Jenkins - the idea that it was a ginormous codebase and still not database based, and you had to hunt for good plugins.

Ansible was pretty successful for getting everybody together to contribute to common modules (it maybe took on too many though) and make sure you didn't have to go on too much of a plugin hunt. So could possibly we start a "batteries included" build system?

Finally, I wanted to try out some opportunity to merge the functionality of a build system with something like Rundeck, so you didn't need two tools. I also found Rundeck complicated to set up, but if you want to run some self-service automation, most people do that within their build system. So I figured I could add in some SSH and Q&A interactivity in there to easily get that going.

My other idea was to write a VM/container controller, and while I think there still needs to be a simple one as Kubernetes is getting to be a beast, that's too much work to bite off without a lot of help :)

Honestly the main thing is I just wanted to work with a lot of the same open source folks again (and a bunch of new ones), so I'm really looking forward to that!

I think this stems from downvotes being abused. If a comment is well written and constructive, you should not downvote it just because you disagree with it. The real intent of downvotes is to flush away off topic and low effort comments.
