I can second this recommendation – Oclif[0] is an absolute pleasure to use. I'd even encourage developers who aren't at a "full-stack Node.js shop" to give it a shot.

I'm particularly impressed with the bash and zsh autocomplete support. I was delighted when I finished setting it up and everything worked perfectly on the first try.

Not to excuse outlook for its failures, but G-suite email searching also breaks once you hit a certain inbox size.

As for shared document editing, most places develop intra-office file system-level habits that avoid the problem, or use specific hosting sites to co-ordinate multiple teams on a platform agnostic basis. On a per-document basis, Word's review, commenting and blacklining features are worlds better than the G-suite equivalents.
One would think that governments would be familiar with the Streisand Effect by this point...

Almost every month or two, I read this exact story just with different details:

Government/Company doesn't like/approve of X. Government/Company decides to be extremely vocal about not liking X, via media/laws/bills/debates/lawsuits. Everyone wants to see what the fuss is all about, so they download/view/buy/research X. Government/Company gets angry. Rinse. Repeat.

Have you tried iCloud / iPhone? That's what I switched over to once I quit Facebook and Android. The iPhone is great, it's private by default, I can share photos / albums only with the people that I want, and I create different groups based off of different interests, trips, etc. All together with iMessage and Notes I get pretty much everything I had with a newsfeed / blog, all without the implications of Facebook and giving up all of my privacy.
In the United States there were a number of private time services one could subscribe to.

One of the largest was operated by Western Union. A telegraph line would be used to send a synchronized signal a short period before the top of the hour, which energized a solenoid in the clock. The minute hand would be pulled to the :00 position and the clock would restart once the signal was released. Commercial telegraph message traffic would be offline until this signal was completed.

Show HN: Songcraft – Online Songwriting Platform and Guitar Tab Builder
Hi HN!

I'm Gabe, the creator of Songcraft (https://songcraft.io/home). I recently dove headfirst into songwriting, and I quickly grew frustrated with my process. I found songwriting difficult enough without having to wrangle a mess of different tools, and there's no great solution to build chord sheets and tabs (unless you love pure text input).

So, I built Songcraft - an online songwriting platform and tab builder. The drag-and-drop editor makes it easy to jump from chords to lyrics to melodies. I added a chord progression generator and chord recommendation engine to ensure the ideas keep flowing. The integrated tuner, rhyming dictionary, metronome, and audio recorder allow you to stay focused without distraction.

A few months ago I shared the beta on Hacker News and got some incredibly helpful feedback and some amazing beta users. Since then, I've revamped the product and made a ton of improvements and additions. Today is launch day, and I wouldn't be here without Hacker News!

I'd love to hear your thoughts and answer any questions you may have. Drop a line here or at gabe@songcraft.io.

> Leverage: Leverage results from using borrowed capital as a funding source when investing to expand the firm's asset base and generate returns on risk capital.

From https://www.investopedia.com/terms/l/leverage.asp

I don't think that leverage is necessarily an issue, and it isn't black hat either. It's a normal part of any economy. The problem is scale. After the last two economic issues that we had to deal with, I have a sense that far too much of our economy runs on leveraging, in order to keep growth going. This isn't just happening with these C.L.O.'s, but with credit card debt, mortgage debt, medical & student loan debt, etc. on the personal level, and a whole slew of debt options for businesses. This is all necessary for the capital owning class to maintain their wealth, which is fed by a sea of debt: without economic activity to pay for goods, many things will lose value rapidly.

I've seen these leveraging games blow up twice in my life. I get to listen to people who claim to know economics tell me that it isn't going to happen this time, that it's different, but you are right. We didn't alter our economy in some fundamental way. We didn't create reward structures for building an economic system that would prevent this issue from happening so often, nor did we create a punitive structure for those who benefit and thus try to make it happen. Instead, we allowed those who benefit from these processes keep far too much of their ill-gotten wealth.

It's going to happen again, and my guess is that once again the middle class and poor will be punished for it. If a billionaire loses 90% of their wealth, it wasn't real anyways. When a middle class person loses 90% of their paycheck, or your more common millionaire loses 50% of their wealth, they can be completely devastated. I know, because I already saw it happen twice in my life.

The actual black-hat hack is and was regulatory capture. Sure, with good regulation perhaps the economy runs a bit slower, but all of our growth is based on an engine that burns through billions of barrels of oil a year (yet another debt/leverage to pay off) so perhaps that's for the best.

EDIT: Corrected tons of oil to barrels of oil.

Interesting piece. I'd quibble with one point though:

This seems to me (albeit as a probably completely unqualified person to have a real viewpoint here, as a 50ish male without children) to be much ado about nothing.

Somehow, perhaps because of the pervasiveness of social media, the sense of self has expanded quite a great deal.

In a family, and later in public life, we don't have the right to control how we are perceived in the public. (I know some countries in the EU have differing views on that, but I disagree with them as well).

Just as the daughter has the right to not share herself or her life on social media, I don't believe she has the right to demand approval of her mother's or sister's posts.

I would argue that the mother and the sister have an equal right to share their lives as they wish, that includes things that were given or said to them by the daughter that is now aghast that these items were shared further.

Freedoms are always a balancing act. Every time we expand our personal sphere of control, we are impinging on the sphere of control of someone else.

I mean, I get the sentiment, and I get that a 13/14 year old would be embarrassed by these types of things, but that is unfortunately what life is like. We get to control the things we say and do, but we don't get to control what others do with it.

> The text is rendered very poorly in Windows, creating a kind of chromatic aberration around it. Coming from an Apple MacBook, this turned out to be quite annoying, because I didn’t know if my design looked bad or if it was just Windows messing up with it.

I think the OP is describing an intentional feature (subpixel antialiasing). Mac OS Mojave disabled this feature by default because you don't need antialiasing if your screen resolution is very high. The chromatic aberration is ugly, granted, but the technique allows you to get a higher effective horizontal resolution which ultimately improves readability on low-resolution displays. And if you don't need it, well, it can be disabled on Windows too: https://www.isunshare.com/windows-10/turn-off-or-on-clear-ty...
I see a lot of comments in the article on how this is just a scare piece, but it bears remembering just how big of a crisis the 2008 financial collapse was.

Stagnant wages in the 90s gave rise to credit cards and personal debt-as-a-feature capitalism, which was immediately blown out of the water by 2008. people lost their homes because the credit system keeping them afloat basically collapsed. businesses started shedding employees and shuttering doors, while banks across the world began a series of spectacular failures.

Not just banks and auto makers, but capitalism itself looked to be slowly collapsing under its own weight of the hubris of mankind. Its really stunning to look back at some of the absolutely bombastic thing we said and did in the service of not people who were displaced and destitute after this collapse, but in the service of trying to keep capitalism going for ten more years. At some point we started bribing people to participate in the market that just made them homeless with "cash for clunkers." This was an asinine program designed to "boost the economy" by paying people to destroy their already running vehicles under the guise that they caused too much pollution.

This didnt work. It could never work, and so we switched tactics toward simply bailing banks and auto manufacturers by cutting trillion dollar checks and printing more cash. Nobody who caused the financial collapse was ever arrested, save perhaps Bernie Madoff for his high treason of swindling the plutocracy. At the last few months of the term of George W Bush, a round of "stimulus checks" were cut and sent back to americans. The idea here was that americans would buy new televisions and sneakers. The reality for many, including me, was that money went to savings or closing out credit card accounts we didnt need.

And here we are, once again, at the brink of another 10 year cycle. Things seem fine but theres hand-wringing from the usual suspects about systems of credit and debt so complex they cannot possibly exist outside a PhD thesis.

Clearly it was for a not insignificant portion of the population given that mostly of what you described are and have been historically considered negative things. Prevailing morality of the time may have been X, but Y happening that is not X does not disprove the statement.

Furthermore, if anything, your examples demonstrates that in a society that is based on trust and good faith to moderate interpersonal activity, the Liar is King.

Until we start making life exceedingly difficult to the Liar in proportion to the damage they can cause, which I don't necessarily believe anyone has the civic/political appetite for, we'll be stuck in this never-ending cycle of problem creation/remediation ad nauseam to the exclusion of pretty much all else.

It's a very mentally taxing train of thought to process through unfortunately.

I agree completely. I run FreeBSD on servers, and macOS userland was ported from FreeBSD (once, in 200x and rarely touched again), so there's more parity than Linux, but there's still plenty of things that are different, so once I buckled down and started using a VM to run my code, Dev and prod were a lot better matched, other than perf.

Also, it's not very many of our users are running macOS on their desktops, so any desktop testing had to happen in a VM or another computer too.
According to TFA, the pneumatic clock system was in operation until 1927, so there might have been plenty of time to make use of the Metro's tunnels at least a little bit - perhaps to extend service to new buildings.
I can't say I've taken a survey but Macs certainly don't seem conspicuously absent at a venue like FOSDEM (Brussels). Of course, that's an international event even if it's disproportionately European. It's probably fair that the further you get from US tech companies in general and possibly Silicon Valley in particular and the closer you get to developers doing open source in their spare time in non-US countries, the fewer Macs you probably see. If only because of price.

ADDED: And, of course, if you look around inside a company that mostly runs their infrastructure on Windows, most of the developers will be running Windows on Dell/HP/Lenovo/etc. machines.
