Again, I disagree here.

I take the 4 all the time as it is right next to my place, without any issue. In fact I cannot even remember the last time it was packed.

I also traveled and did not find other subways to be considerably better in every aspect. Subway in Japan is horribly complicated for example, with different companies operating the various lines of some major cities!
London's tube is known to be overcrowded as well, and I feel like technical issues happens everywhere but in Paris the driver actually tells you what's going on.

People like to romance what happens in Paris, don't be fooled, in reality it's just safe and fun in my opinion.
Thanks, I didn't find it when posting the link. If a mod could update it it would be nice !

What's ridiculous is to conclude from what I wrote that my position is to "do nothing". I'll let you work that one out for yourself.

I don't care about the charity itself and I see your point about it's effectiveness as a PR campaign, sure, and I'm not anti-people donating to charity.

This is a wider narrative that is very prevalent in the West and it's independent of a single PR campaign, and I'm sure even you will acknowledge that.

My claim is that the relentless focus on relative wealth is completely upside down. And I think that's unhealthy. "Look at how much you personally don't have" doesn't serve you emotionally as well as "look at how far we have all come and the trajectory we are all on" does.

It's a matter of personal pragmatism for me. Why should the focus be on the gap?

I know, I know it's just a PR campaign and my yapping about larger narratives in the media won't have any effect on decisions made at Oxfam, yes, yes of course I'm not so deluded into thinking that they will.

But people will read our lovely discussion and some will side with me, some will side with you and it's via this process we tussle for which experiment the river of history should carry out in order to compute the result.

You might be interested in a slightly unusual UI framework I wrote that heavily focuses on async generators to define the UI - https://github.com/ajnsit/concur-js.

The idea is that a UI "Widget" is a sequence of UIs (which themselves can be Widgets) generated asynchronously (say when a UI event fires).

A sample widget -

async function*() {
// Show a clickable button.
// All processing is async, this will conceptually block until button is clicked.
yield* <button onClick>Click me</button>
// Button was clicked, show text
yield* <div>Button was clicked!</div>
})

It uses React and VDOM to diff the UIs generated and update the page slightly more efficiently. As you can see, it also provides JSX support (by overriding createElement calls).

The Widgets themselves can be easily composed, and the entire thing is designed to be extremely easy to get started with. The README on github has more information.
Turns out it was something like this.

The `Allow pages to choose their own fonts` option was enabled. However, a customization in my userContent.css prevented the font changes to be applied:

pre {
font-family: "DejaVu Sans Mono" !important;
}

Starting Firefox with a new profile showed that the site works correctly.
That translation is only marginally better than the automatic Google Translate translation.
I think it's important to reiterate that HTTPS only adds network privacy about what you download. The signing of repos and their packages means they're guaranteed to be a pure copy of what's on the server.

That same mechanism means you can easily make trusted mirrors on untrusted hosting.

I've made myself understood using "logic" (as in a logic) a few times on Hacker News, for instance "the logic of capital" - nobody objected to this kind of usage. You made a link between understanding and the lack of the need to "learn" logic later in life - which ties in very well with what you might not have expected - Hegel's logic, which aims to deal with the intersection between logic and the movement of thought very closely. Implicitly there was the idea that classical logic represents how we use logic internally, which is a notion also firmly in the camp of continental logic theorists. So it's not relevant that you were talking about formal logic - after all, this site is for interesting things, not formal things.

I also think it's worth asking whether the formalization of Hegel's logic (or one similar to his, even superficially) can preserve the meaning. Hegel was famously against what he saw as the rise of mathematical formalism and its precursor, Greek and Latin terms, in new philosophical texts - because he didn't view our consciousness as being "at home" in such concepts. This is of course entangled with the critique of positivism and the reduction of concepts and scientific knowledge to formal logically linked facts. Already this definition of "logic" which you use to strictly only include Ferge and Russell's descendants shifts the conversation to a world in which the totality of things can be explained by this family of logics - after all, anything outside that would be "illogical". I'm not saying it's a deliberate move.

If the browsers of Hacker News are only able to understand a very limited definition of "logic" then perhaps it is good to broaden their minds.

Thank you for the first link in particular, even though it seems dialogical logic doesn't seem to capture some key Hegelian features, such as the uniqueness of the negation of the negation.

Hi bvm, GitLab PM here. Sorry to hear your dev cluster broke. Would like to offer any help we can provide and if possible learn more about the failure so we can take corrective action to avoid this in the future. Thanks.
Thanks for such a detailed answer covering your experience and approach. It makes me rethink the whole thing.

Also, how can I find out more about your mailing list?
They could do it. But there are limits to the practicality of what they can do. It would kill the local economy in an instant. All those foreign workers are at the core of the productive economy, doing actual work that matters, including much of the dirty and mundane stuff, as well as pretty much all of their construction work. I'm sure it's possible to replace them all if they so choose, but it can't be done in an instant. Dramatic and disruptive changes like that take time, or else there will be huge problems. Replacements will need training and experience. The economy as a whole will need to adjust to the population change, and there will be all sorts of other second- and third- order effects.

It's not just unskilled workers. They rely on many foreign skilled workers too. Two acquaintances of mine are expert concrete engineers. They go out there to work on these building mega projects like the Burj Khalifa, as well as ones in KSA. There is little local engineering expertise; it's all brought in. When you're mega rich, it's easy to do that. It would be better to develop their own expertise and industry and have a more balanced economy, as well as a more secular society that would value such careers, but that takes time as well as the desire to change their economy and society to permit it. It's not clear they have the desire or will to do so.

Yes, Facebook is blocked in Iran, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not being used. Just about everyone I met in Iran was on several supposedly blocked social media platforms, mostly through dodgy VPNs. Apple isn’t allowed to sell phones in Iran either, but I’ve never seen so many second-hand iPhones.

Why not? Bezos should have unloaded his sperm in a container, hired a womb, and nannies to raise the kids if his wife's only contribution was labour.
I agree on Consolas. I'm a Mac user and it has replaced Inconsolata which I used for years.
100% agreed. Dr. Taber's thread were a response to someone named Dr. Unicorn linking a Guardian article in response to someone linking a thread of "industry secrets".

It almost makes me grateful for the inevitable Vox story that just pulls Taber's comments. At least that will be in a format that people can share.
Do you need to provide your landlord with a copy of the key to your new lock?

In the US, it's standard for a rental agreement and/or state law to specify that the landlord can enter your property with 24 hours notice even if you're not there, or to enter immediately in case of an emergency.
"I think op means we should have zero enemies in fixing our environment."

You do. Everybody wants clean air, clean water, etc. The Captain-Planet-Villain model of somebody literally cackling about how much pollution they're going to release into the world today is nonsense.

The problem is people who see a short-term gain of their own, standing against the environmental problems they cause. They may not even believe the environmental problems exist.

Sometimes they're even right; just because someone labeling themselves an "environmentalist" claims some environmental problem exists doesn't mean they are correct. These people are probably as dangerous to the environment as the actual polluters. We don't actually have complete and correct information about the effect of things, and if we did, there's a lot of people who wouldn't want to hear it, on both "sides".

But you gotta solve the right problems. Probably a non-trivial component of the environmental movement's semi-effectiveness is how much of the movement wants to fight alongside Captain Planet against essentially non-existent threats, rather than working out how to address the mismatched incentive issue. But I say "semi-effective" because they're far from ineffective, and there are certainly people directly addressing the mismatched incentive issue. For instance, people discussing "carbon taxes" are definitely on a more effective path.
I referenced my framework further down the thread as well, but repeating it here since you specifically ask for ease-of-use and React.

I don't think it has to do with team size alone, although it is much easier to work with in large teams, first time I used microservices I was in a team of 6 developers, main pain point for us was deployments, it would take sometimes 2 days to do a full deployment of the 10+ old years that was not always well-maintained monolith we were working on, we decided that any part of the functionality that makes sense to be independent from the rest and can be updated/deployed alone to extract it into a microservice instead of refactoring it when we touched it, at the beginning the process was even slower and we had to learn a lot, but with time and after we built a good knowledge base on the different aws services and had a better set of Jenkins job it became much smoother.
Ability to move around to (possible/prospective) jobs locations is a big factor in unemployment. Free public transport means losing my ability to pay for my car doesn't mean I lose the ability to go more than a couple of miles away from my house.

Not that the article here is for kids (and in particular for Paris) so my comparisons is not that great I admit but still, living in a rural area I've spent my entire teenage decade dependant on public transport to go to the school my parent wanted for me, to go to "the city" see my friends/visit places/go to the mediatheque where they had computers (!!!), and along with the food cost at school it was a major expense for my parents, that they would have had to cut on if one of them was unlucky and lost his or her job.

So it still rings very true to me. But again, given it's about Paris, my exemple is not that great. You probably realized I would probably be ok for it country wide though.
Is this one of those things where the vast majority of the 3.8B has a zero or negative net worth?

I'm not trying to deny anything about wealth inequality, but I wonder what this clickbaity statement really says about anything.
> hire a NFL quarterback

That analogy highlights what’s irritating me about this post and this entire thread discussion - there are 1,696 players in the NFL, each with an average salary of $1.9 million. When people talk about hiring “senior engineers”, they behave as thought they’re auditioning an NFL quarterback - the 1 out of 100,000,000 people who can actually perform at that level. For a salary of, on average, about $100,000. When you start out - offering comparatively little but looking for Tom Brady, you’ll pass over pretty much everybody, because the person you’re looking for won’t just not interview with you, they probably don’t exist. After a few months, you’ll relax your standards, and after a few more, you’ll relax them even more and end up hiring a comparative retard like myself - somebody with only a mere 25 years of hands-on development experience and a bachelor’s and master’s degree in CS along with a couple of publications. But if I presented in the first few rounds of interviews, back when you were looking for the guy who could derive the tortoise and the hare algorithm in 30 seconds in front of five people in a boardroom, you would have passed.
>For home use I have yet to see a device that make any sense.

Slightly off-topic but I have a thermostat that only turns on when my phone (or me) is on the way home and it automatically turns it off when I leave my home.

It saves me _considerable_ amount on my heating bill, especially since I'm not home on a regular schedule and often don't know until hours in advance.
And to have the bad guy quite literally sitting on top of you. I cannot imagine the mental fortitude it takes to maintain your composure to keep perfectly still and silent in that situation.
The general sentiment of the thread is pretty negative. I’d offer the contrary and say that this (provided that it’s moderated with some integrity) feature is one of the great potentially empowering uses of the platform. Bringing people together and connecting them to other likeminded individuals who would otherwise be strangers, I love that.
I'm pretty comfortable with the security of the Kaba evolo (they have a range of levels of "smart", I like the less-smart ones).

The best systems are currently (for non-safes), the combination strong mechanical (Abloy, etc.) plus electronic. Two systems I've seen be non-crap are Abloy Cliq and Videx CyberLock.

Neither of these is residential.

Somehow, I think the pollutants originating from human activity will really be very much quite different from what used to become sequestered in sedimentary rock.

Smoke detector radiological sources, teflon pans, noble gases and refridgerants, cadmium paints and pigments, dioxins, kepone, BPA, hydrazine, sulfur mustards, medication, depleted uranium. The list goes on.
To be fair, a tube of superglue has a similar effect on a dumb lock.

If what you want is their biological mother at home with them, from a very early age, only money and an agreement between the two partners can get you there. Money helps, of course, it makes it possible for one parent to stay at home, which is rare these days.

> DFS or IDFS can generally use space proportional to the diameter of the graph, which is far smaller.

Maybe, but for "find the closest friend with property X" basic DFS is completely useless. It's likely to give you some distant rando with property X. Fast, sure, but not useful if you're looking for a friend.

Besides, if you have cycles in your graph, DFS also needs to keep track of which nodes you've already visited, or it's never going to end. Or use iterative deepening, which you probably want to use anyway to prevent ending up with some distant rando. Slower than BFS but consumes less memory.

> "find the ten shortest friend paths to (a unique but unknown) someone with property X, where those paths share no nodes".

Ah, but that's a completely different problem.
This is a minor annoyance only to foreigners here on vacation. You quickly adjust to not having the tax included and it is something people in the US don't even consider unless they've traveled abroad. The system with the taxes included in the advertised price only really works when you have a national tax with no other taxes involved. No state or city will ever go for that and it really isn't bothering anyone since everyone is used to the system already.

How does that make it better? If anything, it makes it worse...
The CNIL has a very constrained budget (since the need for them keep increasing, and their income doesn't), so spending money for an english translation is probably not very high on their list. I would not be surprised if it's one of their regular employee that just happened to speak english that do those.

I love proxies. I do worry about their effects on performance, but the benefit of being able to use native object semantics is sometimes too great.

I’ve developed a proof-of-concept library that uses them to provide optionals support (no more TypeErrors for writing things like obj.property.property2.property3 when property doesn’t exist) here: https://github.com/jdelman/proxy-lens

(Btw, I know calling it a lens isn’t right.)
I've given up on the idea that political engagement on social media can make society better. It seems to be a one-way ratchet toward political extremism, because it encourages people to immerse themselves in communities that respond with adulation whenever someone sinks deeper into their ideological wing and respond with cold silence whenever someone hesitates or questions the wing's narrative.

In case this isn't already obvious, I don't think it's a coincidence that we are in the midst of a global crisis of populist uprisings, most of which leave their countries worse off than they were before.

This is not only going to have the direct effect of intensifying the above, it's going to be mined for data used to crank up political ad targeting to partisans on Facebook. It should be fought, violently. It is poison enacting the slow death of democracy.

A good form of effective action would be to create and popularize to the top of the list a petition like 'Dismantle Facebook' or 'Fire Mark Zuckerberg'.
The most important thing for non wealthy is organization. Sharing issues and knowledge. Instead of relying on the rich to give them solutions (no incentives to do so..)
We have a lot of bike paths here but almost every scooter I see is on the sidewalk. I’d say fewer than 5% use the bike paths.

Maybe. I feel that "calculated risk" is no risk at all.

Blindly taking chances "just do it" fashion with no clue about possible consequences it's not very smart, especially since most decisions affect someone else negatively.

There's randomness in life, no doubt about it.

We can account for it: plan B, realist optimism, etc...

But "hoping" that it will all happen just because of sheer luck... I don't think it's smart.

For instance, I think this is what happened to FYRE (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fyre_Festival), there's a great documentary on Netflix. I cringed.
I'm not surprised by this. It's pretty clear that having a pre-ticked checkbox is not allowed under GDPR. It's also against the intent of the law to require 6 clicks to deny consent but only 1 click to grant it.
Very few websites have implemented this properly, I think I've seen only 1-2 newspapers.

The rest either have an "accept all" or "pre-ticked accept" or a tiny, misleading "more options".
70% tax rate above $10M makes a lot of sense.
"Parts of the hotel were able to re-open two months after the attack" — what?

Curious, what would be the logical explanation for that? I mean, for starters nobody would want to work there, and nobody would want to _stay_ there. Right?
> After what lisper’s said in responses, I see that their actual argument is “Religions aren’t true because no afterlife exists because no deity exists.”

No, that is not my argument. My argument is that it is just as easy to disprove religion as it is to disprove a flat earth, which is to say, very easy if your target audience is already on board and nearly impossible otherwise.
Check. My wife’s has given up her prime career years to stay home with our kids. “I” started a business with a couple of partners 6 years ago. Let’s just say there is no doubt that my wife is as much an owner of the business as I am. She didn’t do any of the direct work to make the business successful, but, she made it possible for my kids to have everything and for me to give all my brain power to the business and still live a balanced(ish) life.
