> urban farming, lab meat

When these things become practical and ubiquitous and cheap, then sure, farmland could become wilderness again.

> Ireland

That kinda explains our differences in opinion, then. The US is a lot bigger and roomier, so more space to spread out beyond the small 1-5 acre plots (you do see them still - I grew up on an 8-acre ranch - but they're typically surrounded by plenty of more open fields, albeit typically fenced).

> [smaller towns and cities] tend to sprawl, however

Only if allowed to do so, which doesn't necessarily have to be the case. We could be surrounding those towns with protected wilderness, for example. Reno's an example where the very geography makes significant sprawl less practical (though it's still happening in the north and south to an extent).

Also, one thing that often slows the sprawl is the sheer cost of extending utilities further and further from the population center (and that cost - at least here in the US - is the responsibility of the property owner). Even building your own self-sufficient alternatives (wells and septic tanks and solar panels and such) is expensive enough to be at least somewhat of a deterrent (if they're even practical in a given climate). When these towns do sprawl, it tends to be along roads that already have power lines.
You can pay shops with large format scanners to do it for you.

The recommendation is that you use cameras.
I definitely agree. They're find for pure functional problems (like making a compiler, or converting between document formats) but most real world problems like web servers, games, desktop applications, etc. involve a ton of state and IO, and they just make that really awkward.
You're implying that the hostage takers where not arrested or given imprisonment, but in the case of the Goodyear employees they were arrested and sentenced to 24 months imprisonment (15 months suspended).

That's what the victim party had asked for too, so I don't understand what problem there is with this judgment?
Why are you taking his word at face value? What he really wants is to spread his propaganda. He is just trying to use reverse psychology to make you do just that.
I always found dealing with Amazon Kafkaesque outside of "my parcel didn't arrive - ok we send a new one" or "I don't want this - ok send it back". Some of my interactions ended with involving the police who solved them in my favor.
Yup. Rewrites are tricky but doable. I think the best way to rewrite is to do it inside out, sorta like DNA replication or gradually move things into micro services of sorts.

Porting however is more difficult IMO, like rewriting everything in Rust or from jQuery plugins to React.
Kinda feels like google is treating its employees like little children. Oh well, As long as they still let them swear in source code comments all is ok, right? ;P
Pubfront | Copenhagen, Denmark | Full time | ONSITE | Android developer

One major advantage of the gitflow/hubflow git workflows is that there is a standard way of merging across branches. For example, a 'hotfix' branch is merged into the stable master branch and also develop with one standard command; there's no need to re-explain and train new devs on how the branches were supposed to work here. I even copied the diagram(s) into my notes: https://westurner.github.io/tools/#hubflow

IMHO, `git log` on the stable master branch containing each and every tagged release is preferable to having multiple open release branches.

Requiring tests to pass before a PR gets merged is a good policy that's independent of the trunk or gitflow workflow decision.

Ask HN: Can programming be less about tuning and more about playing?
When I compare with a musical instrument, I feel like computer programming is too much about tuning and not enough about playing.

I wish it was more reactive, less dull.

For now brain computer interfaces are still science fiction so...

Do you know of any piece of technology that exists today, that would help create more playfully with the computer ?
Here's what going through channels (such as haven't been shut down) is like:

DNS is hard coded on my Orange Livebox. This is new.

And changing the DNS under my Ubuntu box was far from trivial. It is only possible to change the secondary DNS in the connection UI. I had to use a reduced version of DHCP (IP address only) and change /etc/resolv.conf.
deadlines [...] are designed around the assumption of a
reluctant workforce who have to be clubbed into line

Er, no.

Sometimes it's the opposite of reluctance.

Lots of enthusiastic coders will code away endlessly, never shipping, unless there's some sort of deadline even if it's a self-imposed one. We can see this in many creative and/or engineering pursuits. A passionate writer may revise their work for all eternity without deadlines. Etc.

Awesome RSS is a great extension, and is compatible again with Firefox 64+ and now adds direct subscription feature to Feedly, Inoreader, NextCloud Reader and even Tiny Tiny RSS (or universal feed display.
https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/awesome-rss/

Another great new extension is Want My RSS because it's compatible with 10 RSS readers for direct subscribtion (you can add your own when you have a self-hosted reader for example). Feed detection and feed display is also great!

> Django is supposed to be the “Rails” of Python, allowing programmers who want a Rails-like experience to continue using Python instead of switching languages completely.

A small nitpick: While Django may indeed fill that role, it's actually older than Rails, so wasn't "supposed" to do that. Both projects have been created independently of each other.

The question wasn't "would you work more hours for more pay".
London has a population of over 8 million and 14 million for the metro population. I was trying to pick something that had even close to a similar population density of of Washington Baltimore in the UK. Comparing to London is like comparing to NYC.
As an researcher I typically only encounter a paywall when I‘m not logged into my institutes VPN. In the rare cases I want to read something the university is not subscribed to, Scihub is indeed a good solution. Open access just moves the cost of publishing to research groups and disincentives proper peer review, because the journal’s revernue is tied to how many paper it publishes. See for example the 15+ Frontiers in ... Journals, which are just barely not predatory and basically publish anything with a pulse. A mix of preprint severs like arxiv and (much later) journal publication seem like a good compromise.

Serverless and SPA, a perfect match in heaven
I hope the Indian govt. doesn't follow suit. Libgen and Scihub serve a very great resource in a country that can't afford the absurd rates to go through the paywall; rare books that are not popular, and thus not part of the South-Asia-only reprints, are absurdly expensive.

Sadly, the current idiots in power think following the diktats of any and every passing foreign bureaucrat is an order from the Devas themselves. I don't think anyone who'll be coming in May will be any good either (if not worse).

I discuss it with one dev contributor of Mozilla and they say that they didn't want to loose time maintaining Live Bookmarks. And the Live Bookmarks was underused. RSS is no more a prioritary subject.
The problem is that they don't only suppress Live Bookmarks, they suppress all the ability to manage (I mean detect and display) RSS feeds... and that's terrible!
And what further irks me about this article, and others like it, is that it does neither

- produce a result that can be observed and therefore tested. Here, the money supply distribution is not observed in the real world and is not supposed to represent observables such as wealth.

- Nor does the article start from principles of human interaction, trying then to aggregate. Whether talking about exchange or debt, the article assumes "particles" randomly gamble against each other. In fact, social norms, externalities, TIME and timing, herd behavior and boundedly rational strategizing is precisely why human behavior does not aggregate to a gambling distribution.

I know this article is from 2000, but my outlook would not have been different back then.

For me here in Sweden, it was a Spectravideo 728. Truly the reason I got into computers. It never was a big platform here so never saw many big games. And a couple of years later I switched to an Amiga.

There are quite a few emulators available:

- fMSX is multiplatform: https://fms.komkon.org/fMSX/

- RuMSX: http://www.lexlechz.at/en/software/RuMSX.html

It's been a few years since I used any of them so can't vouch for quality.

Probably telling anyone with that attitude anything will not go well. Telling an person struggling with addiction issues to just stop using, telling a person struggling with health-issues related to obesity to just eat less food, etc.

There is no one magic thing for depression usually...neither in a pill, nor in an ECT or ketamine treatment (though those last two can come close for some people), nor in exercise. But we don't need to approach exercise with the attitude of strict parent telling the lazy depressed person to get off their butt!

Instead, we can be examples of people that are living, embodied and active, and tell what it has done for us, and encourage them to think of movement as both a natural birthright and medicine.
Good. The whole notifications thing is BS as it’s used on most of the web and is actively exploited and there’s no “don’t show this again” prompt to be found anywhere. The only sites that do it gracefully show a cookie-consent-like floating div that pops the prompt up if you accept it. I have honestly been looking into completely disabling the whole thing but despite Safari being quite good usually, there is no option to do that anywhere to my knowledge.
Notification requests are really saturating my patience. I appreciate the Mozilla/Firefox efforts for creating a user-first browser, with this and past features.

I always avoided (or at least I try not) to provide any telemetry data, but in the case of Firefox, if these are the kind of improvements we may have, maybe I will opt-in for anon telemetry.

I don't think it's about mechanics.

I still remember some of the games we played on cheap Russian handheld consoles back in the mid 90s. Tetris and snake, but also a racing game that had the same mechanics like Tiny Ski, except upside down and with the logical game board three blocks wide. I had a lot of fun with that racer; I can picture it in my mind more vividly than most of my adult memories.

The three games I mention definitely cross the "affecting life" threshold, in the sense of becoming a small part of the culture - I could ask Polish people my age about these games, and many would remember them. But they didn't become part of the culture because of their mechanics being good in the absolute sense. They did because of availability, context of play, and their mechanics being good compared to other games available at the time.

Were Tetris to come out today, people would look at it, think "what a boring, shallow game" and go back to Candy Crush or whatever is currently the hottest casual.
I'd say SQL is closer to logic programming with its use of tuple variables, and generally being about specifying what you want to select rather than how. You could also say it's closer to algebra (relational "algebra", that is).
I think it wouldn’t work. Either remote or stranger might work, but both remote and stranger seems too big a stretch. Could you move?
A couple of weeks ago I had a site that simultaneously showed me an extra-wide cookie bar, a notification request, and a greyed out screen with a half-screen "Disable Adblocker" request. That was two-thirds of my entire laptop screen devoted to popups I didn't want!

This is sleazy how? Getty has done the work of looking at images and screening them and putting them in a catalog.

Getty did it for you.
I wish there was like one long interview process I could go through - I do a bunch of technical work, I answer some standard questions on video, a bunch of companies review it all, and the ones that are interested schedule a 1-2 hour personal conversation to make sure we are a good fit.

I suppose that is what triple-byte is trying to do.

But really, we're all at-will employment, let's just work together for 3 months or so, see if you like my skills and I like your culture and if not just part ways - I'd even be happy to work at a wage cut for the first 3 months. But having a full-time job interviewing while working a full-time job is exhausting, esp when after 30+ (!!!) hours of interviews and conversations, you can be cut at the final stage without a single word about what went wrong.
