> If you need a special expert fast...

A job posting doesn't necessarily mean that they need someone fast, just that they'd like someone, someday, for a certain price. Companies have many important but not urgent goals that can wait for the right people.
Presumably it’s attempting to call out the fallacy of using personal anecdota to refute a statement, as the title appears to be doing.

I wouldn't recommend it for Fedora since dnf repos are as updated as brew (if not faster) and dep version conflicts are handled better than almost any package manager out there imho.

Yes, it is, unless your subject is bashing Americans.
> Simplicity is beautiful and we will have a renaissance of simpler systems. Something along the lines of what Go brought to the game.

Go is a (IMO too) simplistic language.

It does in no way follow that it will be used to build simple systems.

Ask a pro photographer what he would prefer:

1. a cheap entry level DSLR and ultra-expensive light setup

2. the most expensive DSLR and cheap household light setup

Most would pick 1.

This is very important question. Unfortunately, Michael Lynch does not have an answer to that question yet.
This is a good point I think — but I don’t find myself biased to perceive buying groceries as entering into an adversarial relationship with my grocery store — maybe because the relationship is transactional and tends to end immediately after the transaction...

Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t think there is as direct a conflict between me and the grocery store — me being happy with a particular purchase is not generally associated with the grocery store being “unhappy” that a particular product “works out for me” when I consume it ...

You did say "do not appear to be poor". Is there a chance you're noticing wealthy people, because they tend to be more noticeable?

Yes, people who bought a house while ago in California, sell, and move to Texas would have a lot of money. But again, is this typical?

I'm not saying it necessarily isn't typical, just that "it seems like", or "appears to be" isn't data. A lot of people leave California because they can cash in on their house, but a lot of people also leave because they'll never be able to get a foothold in the housing market.

We really do need some data on this to have a meaningful conversation about it.
This is a strange comparison. As far as I know, Uber doesn't actually make any money. They've operated at losses on a few billion in revenue for as long as I can remember by aggressively expanding their core business. They have maybe one or two side hustles which compliment their core competency. I don't see any comparison that can be made to the way Google operates.
Closed attitudes about sex lead to more teen pregnancy, less opportunities for women, etc. I don't see where it is beneficial. The arguments for sexual prudishness always seem to revolve around "cheapening it" with a heavy subtext of expecting women to maintain sexual purity especially.

Most of Western Europe is quite progressive about sex, but yet I can't see how that has been a problem for them. While you may have these beliefs about sex, many people do not. It shouldn't be imposed on everyone.
As a user, you can always ask for the package to be compiled from source. This is also what will happen if you ask for non-standard options. The advantage of using binary packages is time: I have a Homebrew formula that takes 40 minutes to build from source, but maybe ten seconds to install from a binary package.
FWIW, I don't think cultural discrimination is acceptable either. I've met people who don't bat an eyelid when they hear European accents or southern/Boston/new-York accents, but are openly hostile to those speaking African-American vernacular. Similarly for Mexicans speaking Spanish as well.

Also, I've never met a Roma person, but it's my understanding that they can trace their genetic ancestry to Asia, and that they look significantly different compared to the average European. So I'm curious as to your comment about it not being a genetic difference, and that they can easily assimilate if they wanted to?
Left/right is a seating arrangement, literally as well as metaphorically.

Free-market/command-economy is different axis to dynamic/conservative is a different axis to populist/evidence-based is a different axis to moralist/libertarian.

If you just tried to transplant the UK’s Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrat, SNP or Green parties to the USA, they not only would be unelectable “socialists” for supporting the NHS, but also all support policies the USA considers unconstitutional (variously: ‘guns are bad’, ‘censor more’, ‘the Queen should disolve the government every so often’).

Likewise, the UK’s Labour Party is currently wobbling on the left side of the UK’s Overton Window, despite being a moderate centerist by the standards of several EU nations.
Whole-body cryotherapy as adjunct treatment of depressive and anxiety disorders
I've seen a good number that do once the org makes it a priority and allowed money to be spent on learning and experimenting.

From there, some people still want to stick to their old knowledge, but chances are you still will need that. Only start ups are "easily" going 100% Serverless. And even then many still want a few 24/7 servers. So there's still a job for older ops.

Ops people tend to be slower because brand spanking new tends to be over hyped and the brand new thing was designed with a goal for ease of use and performance. Security will be added on perhaps next year. Systems manager is cool, but if you already need to use something else to orchestrate, it's often easier to use that and keep a smaller toolset.
I agree with your conclusion, but keep in mind that most policies don't cover things that are actuarially impossible to predict, like acts of war. Both sides of this situation seem to have reasonable cases; the results will depend on the definition of "act of war."

Agree with this; I'm a straight guy that actively supports LGBTQ+ rights (actually being an active, paying member of my country's organization and participating in the Pride festival every year).

I strongly support sex positivity and oppose censorship, but this routine of calling out small and troubled minorities, or even the male gender or masculinity in general as the bogeyman, really needs to stop. It excludes close to half of everyone who would otherwise enthusiastically support the cause.
You've accurately described what San Franciscans complain about. The writer of this piece mentioned that San Franciscans don't tend to show hostility to people based on where they're from, and that's largely true, we don't have a particular region or state people complain about they way people in, say, Portland, complain about California.

However, a lot of San Franciscans do complain constantly about techies.

One thing to keep in mind - some states, such as Oregon and Washington, have had a strong undercurrent of hostility to California for the last century. This is an interesting perspective:

>"Poorly-designed"

Poorly designed because there were large number of similar problems and they were not fixed in the 2017 and 2018 iteration. It is not subjective, but objective truth. And it isn't just about the hinge.
We have filed a few claims over the past 10 years, including:

Water damage due to a sudden burst of a pipe. Required expensive drying of walls, replacement of part of the drywall and replacement of the flooring. Dealing with insurance was extremely pleasant.

Burglary of house. Lost laptops, camera, time machine, diamond earrings. Similar experience. Surpringly, the rule was: if you want to be reimbursed in cash, you get the current value (which is close to zero for a 6 year laptop). But if you buy a new laptop, you get the original purchase price reimbursed. “Hello new MacBookPro!” Zero complaints about the insurance.
You get native binaries, can choose optional features and dependencies and you can easily apply your own choice of patches. That's my view as a gentoo user anyway; I don't know how much of that homebrew actually supports.
Limited editions, first editions, what perversions are those? The point of a book is that you can run off as many copies as you would like until the type wears off. And the trouble with first editions is that they carry typesetting errors that are corrected in later editions. For the best edition of a manuscript you want to reach for the authoritative edition, not the first.
Well... in France, for a start? Or anywhere in Europe? Depending of your circle, you'll have a range of different people about that.

But nudity is pretty much inoffensive here, unless you really insist of putting your luggage in the face of people.

There are family-friendly naturist places all around the country. Some find them bizarre. Some find them offensive. Some find them fine. Some don't care.

And (simulated or not, who cares) sex in a story is pretty much a non-event as well, unless:
- it's totally disconnected from the story itself,
- it is violent/coercitive.
I got into a minor argument with the maintainers about it, and the response I got was that they thought it was an unreasonable support burden: https://discourse.brew.sh/t/maintaining-a-tap-to-provide-opt.... Not something I could get them to provide more details about, however. Not really a fan of the response I got :/
Possibly my ignorance talking in terms of what you're trying to achieve, but can't you just do this?

brew remove packagename

brew install packagename@versionnumber --force --overwrite

I've done this with Node so I'm using 10 rather than 11.

Edit: my pet gripe with brew is the services syntax. I want to use this:

brew services httpd restart

Not the existing syntax:

brew services restart httpd

But in general I'm really thankful that brew exists and it's in active development.

This seems like an overly snarky and patronizing response which mostly dances around the point at hand. You’ve effectively sidestepped the discussion to talk down to HN commenters as a whole because you think they’re ignorant of The Way Things Work in risk management and insurance. That’s likely true; it’s also dismissive. Thank you for explaining to us all how insurance works, but to be honest I don’t think that resolves whether or not this claim should be paid.

All we’re talking about is whether or not they are right to not pay out this specific claim. Do you have any justification for this being an act of war? What is your position on that particular issue? Your comment portrays a world in which lawyers don’t disagree because they all meticulously defined and agreed to a contract. I think it’s very fair to conjecture neither side thought of this particular scenario, and that as a result, there is a legitimate problem about which reasonable people (and lawyers) disagree.

Moreover, I think it’s fair to have the orthogonal - but related - debate about whether or not “acts of war” should be covered, even if they ultimately prove not to be in this scenario. I think it’s okay if we debate this even if we’re not all experts in law, insurance and risk pooling. We’re not directing policy here, we’re commenting on a message board.

Note that I’m not crusading against insurance, nor am I saying lawyers are dumb or malicious. But I am trying to convey the very even-handed position that people are fallible. Your comment strikes me as more of a lecture than a substantive response to whether or not fallible people could be making a mistake in rejecting a claim. Consider the spirit of the comment to which you replied - yes, this may turn out to be by the book for this insurance firm. But if that’s the case, it can still be true that potential customers will not want to purchase coverage from them because “act of war” hacking is a risk they want to (quantifiably) share.
I went to a Catholic secondary school. Some people definitely were saying that.
Options have been deprecated, and I haven’t been able to find anything that replaces them that the maintainers are willing to discuss.
Jack Dorsey on Joe Rogan
Actually, evangelicals and Protestants frequently bring it up as an affirmation of married love [1]. Catholics are more likely to bring it up as an allegory of love between God and the Church or even God and the individual soul (even considering the obvious interpretation to be "heretical"). This is pretty similar to the traditional and still occasional Jewish tradition of it singing it at Passover as an allegory of love between God and Israel [3].

I guess so. But that's the easy part of AWS, right? I'm pretty sure (having used AWS a little, but not CloudFront or Lambda) I could start building that now and have it done by this time tomorrow.

The tricky part seems like it would be dealing with tens-to-hundreds-to-thousands of machines which should automatically deploy and scale. And things like databases, which might also need to scale up/out at some point, and ideally should do without downtime.

That's much harder to try out on a personal project (due to the cost, but also due to the lack of genuine need shaping the implementation)...
Thanks for having read the document and for the comment!

To answer your question: It would be a fantastic news. Even the simple fact that a major player is interested in ALS would be awesome, the current and past trials are only done by tiny organizations and their drugs are not that innovative.

However the frequency of ALS is the tenth of SMA, so it might be much more difficult to fund.
> Americans who hold strong racist opinions. But that's another subject.

I'm not sure it is. America has strongly patriarchal institutions, enforcing very particular and rigid sex/gender roles. Our economy, for example, relies on women staying at home to raise children. This removes them from the arena of compensated labor, depriving them of commercial agency except as a bread-winning man's proxy.

More or less.

This kind of economic role-enforcement is also heavily racialized; latino workers are massively represented in agriculture, black workers in service work, and both groups are deprived of the high-pay, high-tech opportunities that white men like myself take for granted.

In her indispensable feminist text, "The Will to Change", bell hooks uses the phrase “imperialist white-supremacist capitalist patriarchy” to describe the interlocking political systems that are the foundation of our nation’s politics.
Homebrew used to support optional features, but is now moving away from this to become a binary package manager.
Who made the claim otherwise?

A butler to handle taking out the trash, cleaning the house, cleaning after your parents while you did the other tasks is already s big help.
Well, for one, as a longtime brew user, changing to binary packages alters the trust model.

What happened was we failed to consider the consequences of centralization:

- Google with its search

- Tumblr (or Medium) with its blogging platform

- Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram with their connection to friends, family, and news

- Starbucks with its roaming internet access

- Youtube with its ubiquitous video distribution

- PayPal with its payment network

- Apple with its walled garden App Store

It's no accident that these are all American companies. When American companies control the internet's major centralization points, American cultural norms will rule. Like most cultural norms, they are inconsistent and downright ridiculous if examined closely enough. But that's beside the point.

AI and Mechanical Turk workflows enabled these companies to scrub content that violated norms at massive scale.

The article hints at, but fails to go for the jugular on a far more important point. Porn and sexuality are classifications. To an AI or Mechanical Turk, classifications are pretty much interchangeable.

Entire areas of human knowledge have become easy to censor by decree. Vast swaths of scientific research, political discourse, and news coverage can now be branded as "fake," "offensive," "privileged," or "deplorable," and censored at the drop of a hat.

Sexual censorship is just the tip of a monstrous iceberg.
Not to mention that the service manuals are public and very well written. The laptops are made to be serviceable. Not that one may need to, as the standard warranty is 3 years, on-site, worldwide. I was issued an elitebook at work. Liked it so much I bought my own, got stolen, bought a zbook. I cannot recomend them enough.
The article is all qualitative, but the quantitative numbers bear it out, at a state level at least. In 2016, the state had rough 150,000 more internal emigrants then immigrants (from census data) This is a continuation or acceleration of a trend that has been occurring for 30 years- see https://www.manhattan-institute.org/html/great-california-ex.... If my back of the envelope calculation is right,
California had a net outflow of 10% of its current population over 30 years. Of course that is made up for by births and external migration, but matches the authors observation.
This only works when the maintainers have decided to keep around the old version of the software, which is only done for certain popular formulae. Otherwise they get removed quite quickly from the main tap.
Yeah but leave them alone and one will hit the other. You need adult supervision to stop it all going Lord of the Flies.
There is a very easy test to check if anti-prostitution laws are prudes or about labor rights. You rewrite them into labor rights so to make prostitution illegal without including the word sex.

I have not heard a single country that have managed to do this. For rather obvious reasons, it is not practical to make employment illegal where the employee is in need of money.

There are countries however that do treat the problems with prostitution as a labor rights issue and resolve it similarly. For example when people think of human trafficking they think of prostitution, but human trafficking in constructions is actually several times larger. Exploitation in construction is thus a very large problem and the common solution is to impose stricter regulations so the government can catch and punish those that earn money on human suffering.
A logger great liberal experiment. Cockroaches.
> conda seems very very tied to precisely tested version combinations, and (from what I remember - tried and had problems)

Hello. Conda core contributor here. Do you have any more details? Would love to help.

We try to keep version constraints among dependencies as loose as possible. We do actively patch dependency metadata over time, putting upper version bounds on dependencies when incompatibilities eventually arise.
There’s also plenty of anti-semitism and good old fashioned prejudice against black people. Truthfully, it’s not so different, just look at the recent Windrush scandal.
There are older versions of some, usually larger, libraries n brew, such as node@10. But those are maintained explicitly in cases where some other important package depends on them. “Node@10” is really more of a different package than name@version.
Another great liberal experiment. Cockroaches.

I used Excel for several years, mostly doing development work for financial services companies. I now work at a small/medium-size tech company that uses Google Sheets. Sheets is fine for most of the things we need to do, but our needs are modest. Sheets' overall functionality pales in comparison to Excel, and it often feels laggy even on a good network.

The finance companies I mention above also had data warehouses, but that's a completely different use case and not what Excel is used for. It would not work as a replacement even if everyone knew SQL.

> I don’t care how cheap the policy is, I’m assuming they’re charging more than they payout on average, and I lock my doors consistently.

Thats not the correct "math". The value insurance provides is that the cost of the risk is higher than the cost of the premium. The whole point of insurance is how much are you willing to pay to avoid catastrophic scenarios.
Its not. The quality of life is terrible here for what you are paying for. I pay $3000 for a one bedroom and constantly have homeless people in my garage or camping next to my building. My car has been broken into several times. Cops don’t walk a beat or do anything whatsoever to prevent crime. If you call the cops they basically shrug it off unless there’s actual violence happening. The traffic is terrible, public transportation is terrible (mostly because BART and Muni let on people who don’t pay). There are piles of feces and needles all over the city center. I honestly love the weather, but there are just so many negatives to your daily experience here. If I could move, I would.
