> In what sense are they "hell"

Deezer/Jump/OFO/Mobike/DonkeyRepublic bikes everywhere, now they even started using electric scooters, parking them in front of monuments, in the middle of the already small sidewalks, on the road (??!)

You can't go to museum/parks/monuments/local biergarten.

Public transports can't keep up. Even worst, roads can't keep up (uber + car2go + taxis everywhere)

Half of the flats in touristic areas are aribnbs, artificially increasing local prices + kicking local people out.

Artificially increases restaurants / bars prices.

I don't even get how tourists are having fun, it's literally like queuing in Disneyland to see/do the most basic things and take the same pictures as everyone else. I saw hundreds of people queueing for 2+ hours for a famous burger / kebab place, if that's what you consider "fun" and "freedom" ...

> how come you think free movement is a privilege

Never said that. Now that people can buy a Paris<>Berlin tickets for the price of a restaurant they go enjoy their mindless 3 days of paradise, wreak havoc on the locals, and move to their next destination. It's just like freedom of speech, when abused it starts to get nasty.

Most of the things I've seen people complain about being complex seems to be a lack of either understanding, proper tooling and in most times, the codebase itself.

Newer technology usually adds a ton of different patterns and abstractions that can hide a lot of things away from you, so it becomes hard to understand, unless this information is presented as a 101, or you invest all your time to read documentation about each individual part of everything. Which, to be frank, nobody has time for.

I have used GraphQL with Apollo and React for the last couple of years for different kinds of projects and what I have noticed is that the tools themselves, while quite abstracted, also try to support a lot of edge cases which can make it hard to apply to your project. I had to either use other libraries or build my own that helped me abstract some of the things that were most commonplace but required a lot of boilerplate otherwise.

I have found tremendous value by following the philosophy of not to pre-optimize for everything, until it becomes a burden to work with. Although, it can be hard to determine when something is going to become so big that it will be difficult if not impossible to refactor, but you learn that as you go.

If you're DIYing boats are cheaper than cars. You'll never be tempted to buy chromo axle shafts and coilovers for your boat and a hull is a hull you either work with it or get a different one. The expenses of setting yourself up to DIY everything are also much less since you won't be temped to build out a fairly well equipped fabrication shop. One of my best friends does boats. He spends way less money on it than me.

Clojure is a functional programming language based on relational database theory.

The Clojure system can be treated as a RMDB using the Lisp language, RMDB Schema (Clojure Spec) is a static type, and SQL (LISP) is a dynamic type.

It is an example of the best combination of dynamic and static types.

It's innovation, simple, practical and reliable.

> Why? I'm not claiming there isn't, or that there is, but it does seem plausible to me that we're just part of a recursive function in the universe that came about due to chance and will last as long as the boundary conditions allow us to.

I didn't mean it in religious sense, that there is a deeper meaning that's prescribed to us. Right now I do believe we're this "part of the recursive function", but we're also that part that recognizes concepts like "meaningful" and can strive to achieve it.

I meant that merely continuing the "grow, reproduce, die" cycle like every other living organism on the planet feels deeply unsatisfying to me. What I find satisfying is learning things, building things, and contributing to the society and the world in a way that makes other people - now and in the future - ever so slightly happier and less in pain.
Even in rich countries, properly equipped children can provide resources that are worth millions if not more. You can't buy the loyalty that a child would have, and a tribe of highly educated, resourceful children is quite a force to have in your old age.

In my experience, the families that had 3 to 5 children, where at least 2 or 3 of them supported each other went far further than others. They save money by being each other's insurance, are able to share resources and knowledge, help each other in rearing their own set of children, and the implicit trust is something that can't be bought.

Of course, it can all go sideways too, but that's applicable in any situation. But the upside is huge.

This is the thing I've been struggling with in everyone else's comments. From what the article suggests, the victim never even appeared in the Apple store, but the thief came back in at some point, so the police went to the address that Apple had on file for the thief. Why is this Apple's problem, beyond them associating a face to an ID _that was given to them_?
Using it too much can normalize it. It may start as an empowering expression in black cultural expressions, but when that (hip hop, for example) gains ground and becomes mainstream, it ends up normalizing the word. It's better to just let the word die, I think.
Apple could improve this situation a lot if the update didn't take a random 20-40min (and that's on latest and greatest hardware). I'll be the one to tell people to update ASAP normally, but this? There's no way I'm updating if I'm on call, for example. Or may possibly need access in the next hour. In practice they means days of delay.

OPs friend Kevin has it right. Make a hobby out of something that you cannot even fathom how to make money out of. Sports is ideal since you will obviously be super bad compared to the worst guy that makes money of it. My old coach is now World Champion in the Duathlon. The money she makes off that would not make my cut for a new dev project.

Duathlon is thus a very safe choice for a hobby uncontaminated by monetary concerns. But for most of us the triathlon or running is safe. The risk of becoming world champion are overstated.

The question that we should ask is if bitcoin serves to a market need. From what I have seen, yes it does, though banks did react back when bitcoin started to gain traction and for example here in Sweden a free service to send and receive money instantaneously through a mobile app became extremely popular. Now the banks are trying to introduce fees into that service, and time will tell if the market will tolerate it, or if it will slowly fall in popularity until another free alternative (like bitcoin) replaces it.
> They then flagged their AI to look for him, not comparing it to pictures/video of the actual perpetrator, and called the police when he came in.

Nope, that's not what happened. The article is poorly written, but read it and it might make sense.

" However, since the ID didn't have a photo, the lawsuit states Apple programmed its stores' face recognition system to associate the real thief's face with Bah's details"

In other words, the only thing Apple used facial ID for was to link the thief's face to thefts where the thief didn't show ID. That allowed them to report the wrong person for multiple thefts (presumably instead of just one). (Yes it's terribly unclear from the article.) But it's fairly clear the wrongly accused was not arrested at the store, because the face recognition was primed for the real perp's face.

I'd be more inclined to blame society itself for the individual feeling that way.

Much of our modern western society is highly individualistic and exploitative. We are encouraged to exploit as much and as often as we can to reap wealth. It's totally at odds with our nature as a social species and it's honestly not surprising to me that mental illness is on the rise all over the developed world.
Is it though? My reading of Brave New World was that it was at least consensual. I’m after reading Seveneves and I see some parrallels between these societies. In context it really doesnt seem so much sinister as a way for humanity to survive. 1984 was despotic.
It's because germans love to work. Take pride in their work. Work is a payment of its own if it's honest work
I know this view is not going to go down well with the HN crowd, but consider this: The name used by the actual thief was used to track down Bah and arrest him. The normal course from there would be a long haul process to prove he was innocent. But he was exonerated by the presence of facial recognition which showed that the person in the store was not Bah. The facial recognition here seems to have done neither more nor less than a regular CCTV camera in a store. If anything the presence of the cameras helped free him!

That's assuming there are enough willing buyers around who'll offer them cash for those tokens. I don't know anything about Cosmos in particular, but it often seems much easier to find facilities for exchanging fiat money for crypto tokens of some kind than vice versa.

Obviously, someone is selling the tokens and getting real money in exchange, but if we don't all have equal access to that market as sellers, something smells fishy...

These languages make it easier to have more special cases. There's a difference.

> That's a pretty controversial viewpoint, since it makes composition impossible (indeed taken to its logical extreme this would mean never writing a library, whereas the grandparent was convinced that more use of libraries was the way to write good code).

I don't see why that should be the case. Aside from the fact that composition/"reuse" is way overrated, libraries can always opt for process- or thread-wide global state. Another possibility would be to have global state per use (store pointer handles), and passing a pointer only to library API calls. The latter is also the most realistic case since most libraries take pointer handles. I absolutely have these handles stored in process global data. For example, Freetype handle, windowing handle, sound card handle, network socket handle, etc.

Also called "singleton" in OOP circles. Singletons are nothing but global data with nondeterminstic initialization order and superfluous syntax crap on top. Other than that, they are indeed good choices (as is global data) since lifetime management and data plumbing is a no-brainer.

> I find modern language features mostly guide us down the path that most of us already agreed was good programming style

But just the paragraph before you said you didn't agree with mine? In my opinion, OOP, or more specifically, lots of isolated allocations connected by pointers/references, make for hard to follow code since there is so much hiding and indirection even within the same project/maintenance boundaries without benefit. In any case I absolutely agree that this style is not doable in C. You need automated, static or dynamic (runtime) ownership tracking.
