> The community says no such thing, that's the insult. The community even has multiple options current and past to reduce frictions on using things that aren't packaged

Some parts of the community do, namely the ones that came up with AppDirs, AppImages, and to a lesser extent Flatpak and Snap. The fact that these have not been widely adopted by the community over the past decade of their existence says all that needs saying about the community at large.

Instead, what happens? Libraries routinely break ABIs, paths are hardcoded at compile time. Etc. If you complain about such things what do you get? An earful about how you should just use the package manager.

> Your characterization of what a distro is and how it treats its users is insulting

My characterization of distro's treatment of users is insulting because it characterizes their treatment of users as insulting... ok, sure. Then I guess it is an insult, and I feel no need to apologize for that.

> exactly because it completely discounts the huge effort that's put into solving the complex issues and the advantages it brings.

That's mostly because I can't really think of any benefits. I suppose a centralized location to obtain software? That's.... something I guess. Otherwise it is a giant, over-engineered mess of a system that largely only serves to solve problems it has created for itself.

> You're not offering an argument for how things work today

These things exist today, all that has to happen is for the community to start using them.

> You're not offering time or other resources to help.

See project this comment thread is about. They tried to help, the community told them to shove it. That's a story I've seen repeated many times, from embedded ELF icons to the many variations of AppDirs. There is nothing left to do but call the community out on why their crap is crap.

Maybe I should just keep quiet about it? Yeah, maybe. I'm either preaching to the choir or committing horrific sacrilege depending on which perspective you're reading this from. But I guess I take it personally that there are so many people so intent on computing being awful.
The alternative way of thinking about it is that buying at spot rates includes an embedded option to not use the capacity. This real option has some value, so customers are willing to pay higher rates in the spot market rather than through contracts. There's necessarily some level of contract discount - otherwise, everyone would pay spot rates for the free optionality.
The lower prices are not.

It shouldn't be another full site, or even a plugin for a (single) browser. It should simply be a Greasemonkey script that accepts a whitelist/blacklist. I'll write it up for you tonight after work ;)
No, I don't. Neo-nazis have always existed, have always killed people, and have always been very few. Same for any other group you care to name. Violence overall is on a down trend.
I see. The moderator listings are updated once a day I think. This seemed to happen more quickly than that, so unless it was just plain luck on when it was updated, I don't think it's that.
The idea of soliciting feedback before building a start up really doesn’t make sense to me. If you like your idea (“this is something I’ve always wanted”), are willing to dedicate yourself and have the means then you should try it. Otherwise you’ll never find out. If the creator of the automobile had listened to people they probably would’ve thought it was a dead end because unlike horses cars can’t reproduce. The idea that you can explain your vision to people who will spend one minute thinking about it with you and get useful feedback is also not obvious. Build the product or you’ll never know.
My kids are 3 and 5 and we've shopped at Aldi continuously since they were born. I'm not sure what you're talking about. Unlocking a cart takes almost no extra effort beyond what you'd expend to get one at any other store.
That makes zero sense to me. Why even bother? He'd be better off with us giving him $20 in exchange for a PDF.
> Often with a toddler and/or car seat in hand, unlocking a cart (for example) is not just an inconvenience, it’s a dealbreaker

Interesting issue. I’ve never had that problem as a parent and have never heard anyone else raise that as an issue - having carts locked is absolutely standard in germany since at least a couple of decades. Maybe people are just used to it. There are specialized carts nowadays for wheelchair users that are not usually locked, but the normal ones are. It’s so standard that there are even plastic coins to unlock which sort of defeats the purpose.
In 1997, I'd wager more people listened to college radio than they do now, simply because there weren't as many alternatives.

Their bookstores would likely also have had a few rock/alternative/electronic music magazines to offer choices outside of Top 40.

If they were lucky, they might also have had an indie music store in town where you could browse through the stacks and make conversation with the proprietors who'd turn you on to new stuff.
The Born Rule Has Been Derived from Simple Physical Principles
I think you could provide a compatible API, or a wrapper around your API that makes it (mostly) compatible, claiming that you do it for interoperability.

If you think that’s too risky, legally, an alternative could be to provide example code showing “to do X in Slack, do this on our API”. If your tool gets some traction, a third party wrapper might show up.

Errolson Hugh Sees the Future
Where this gets weird is when the purchases are not yours.

I own a first.last@gmail.com address and it turns out there are a lot of people who share that name.

So when I started receiving emails for other people I just hit spam, until the day that wasn't enough. When I noticed that Google Assistant was telling me about flights and hotel bookings for other people who share my name whose email I'd long deleted.

And is it possible to delete those things? To rid yourself of the various places the intelligent data emerges? Seemingly no. I found no way to stop being told about these actions relating to other people... constantly being shown PII relating to those other people (flight booking numbers, delivery addresses for things they'd ordered).

I deleted and marked those emails as spam as much to ensure I wasn't receiving other people's PII... yet Google was "intelligently" preserving this and showing it back to me at every opportunity.

Very frustrating, and it makes me wonder if I ever enter an email incorrectly where my personal data will end up.

Edit: I couldn't even see the flights I've been prompted about recently on https://myaccount.google.com/purchases so I guess there are additional systems that have similar functionality.
If you look at the metrics, you'd receive + marks for ESL and income, and negative marks for educated parents. Overall you'd probably receive a + adversity score.
Hmmm... not to be a curmudgeon, but will this help much? Or like what is the intended purpose of this, awareness? Why were these RFCs chosen? I feel like the majority of folks who would take interest in this would already be browsing RFCs. Additionally, this would be more useful it contained (I didn’t see any from my phone) links to example implementations or discussions about the RFC.

I appreciate the work, and thought so far, I was just super stoked for like “MOAR infos,” and then didn’t really get any so I’m a bit disappointed ;_; or maybe I’m just missing something like usual?
Thanks for sharing your story. Your contribution greatly illuminates this conversation for the rest of us.

I find it interesting that many here reading these comments base their professional lives within the STEM fields but yet are so ardent to support the post-modernist philosophers who believe reason to be an absurd meta-physical starting point. It's a little ironic to say the least.
1. You're only addressing the privacy component and leaving out the psychological / sociological / political components of the criticism.

2. The harms of privacy violations are hard to quantify the same way as deaths or dollars. But collapsing them down to "feeling a little squicky" vastly undershoots. There's a category of very large potential harms that come from privacy violations and littany of smaller more direct / likely harms. There is a lot of literature on this.

3. The comparison between Facebook and Phillip Morris to which you're responding was not framed in terms of deathcount or health harm. So your reading of the comparison along those lines was bound to be troubled.
I posted this down below, but I want to share my personal method of music discovery.

Pick a few physical music venues nearby that you like, and make a list of all the artists playing shows there for the next month or two. Then take a song by each artist and chuck it into a playlist (could be youtube or bandcamp or spotify, whatever). Listen, and when you hear something you like, maybe listen to their latest release! If it's good, you've just found an artist you like, and guess what? They're playing a show nearby soon.

Tribalism seems to pop up in all different populations. Fear of changing demographics, fear of others coming into your city/country, fear of change. Definitely a lot of parallels between the logic of this article and the logic that got Trump elected.
It sounds like you are defining troll as "someone I don't agree with," but that's not how I read it.

I read trolls as bad actors; people acting in bad faith just to get a reaction / cause someone else pain.

Trolls are a subset of "people we dislike."
Your citation doesn't support your point at all. It’s not an autopilot marketing video. It’s showing how the future could look. It’s probably using a current at the time development version of some FSD software.

What does the header say right above that video? In a really big headline font, that’s really hard to miss?

“Future of Driving”
Based on my experience that's pretty standard for european grocery stores. No cashier in Europe is ever going to bag your groceries.

Despite bagging your own groceries being a universal experience I haven't yet seen a local properly use a self-serve checkout kiosk. Instead of scanning an item and putting it in a bag on the weighing platform they instead scan the items and put them on the weighing platform, then pay, then put the items in the cart, move the cart towards the store exit and then bag their groceries.

CIFS / SMB ; Client is in most kernels these days, server (Samba) is easy to install and use. In my experience performance is acceptable (that is, I'm getting >110MB/s on a 1Gb connection), locking semantics if you need them work much better than an NFS - and most importantly, it doesn't hang as bad when a server goes away (NFS behaves like it's 1980 in that respect - the recommended and only consistent way to unhang processes when the server goes away is, I kid you not, start a local NFS server on the client, and add the IP address of the server locally to the client; Then, one of the retries will get an error from the local server, at that point you can deal with it, shutdown the local NFS and remove the extra IP address)
A week off to actually get some significant work done without distraction is blissful. Some of the best work I've ever done has been when the rest of the office took off to trade shows and I stayed home to hold down the fort.

There's so much less busywork generated when there are less people around.

I think this speaks more to a lack of a social safety net that actually works.

A better social safety net would ensure that everyone had:

* a home (near their family unit's job(s))
* a job suitable to talent/skills
* education towards suitable jobs if out of work
* good healthcare
* good child/retired family care
* a stable, inclusive, welcoming community
There are recipes online. iirc, it's something like 4 beans to 4oz of vodka for "single fold" extract.

You seem to be implying that immigrants aren't rich or well educated, the evidence doesn't bare that out. Middle Eastern immigrants are on average more educated that Americans, Asian immigrants make a much higher median wage than average Americans.

I get that you're streaming yourself to a person, but how does that help enforce accountability? Part of my job entails very little typing or keyboard interaction, so comparatively, it could look like I was reading HN, Reddit, etc. Is it a purely psychological thing?

Before I sent this comment, I went deeper into the website beyond the home page and 30s video. It is just that:

>Research in psychology and behavioral science shows that regular human connection reduces the likelihood that a worker will procrastinate or become distracted.

>In our most recent internal survey, 95.5% of users reported a significant increase in productivity, and reduced procrastination.

It looks like it's not a site that will magically boost your productivity (which isn't really what it claims). You have to want to be productive, and the site helps facilitate that desire.
It's good to see that the author had early feedback and performed interviews. However, looking at an early post at the interview methodology, it seemed like there was the lack of validation around the product. The author successfully validated the problem, but not necessarily what he wants to build. A good read is the "Customer Driven Playbook" - which details a hypothesis driven model in product development to get more measurable outcomes. I think he should keep at it - but set more specific outcomes and look at smaller sets of things to improve within the larger space.
Except in France it’s a Euro to get a cart and you can definitely get car delivery. Most of the Carrefour/Super U type stores do that. And many of their stores are at least as big as a US store. Seems like both cultures are converging.
The Planetary Society Releases Official Statement on Nasa's Budget Request
I'll be the first the admit this is an opinion i've completely come up with it by myself with no research or statistics to prove other wise.
I think product development takes a bit of madness - a leap of faith, something that you believe that others don't ...... yet.

I don't think any amount of asking people what they want is a replacement for building something and putting it in front of people - only then do you get a true reaction.
If every seat number had bin space allocated for it, that space would not be large enough to fit even the smallest carryon suitcase. Overhead space only works because not every seat uses a suitcase's worth of space (and stuff smaller than a suitcase usually gets crammed under the seat in front of you).
Definitely wrong. Skylake SP is 50% faster than Broadwell on MySQL Sysbench, and Broadwell was 200% faster than Sandy Bridge. That's almost 500% improvement in 6 years. I haven't got a chance to evaluate Cascade Lake SP yet but I expect the pace of improvement to continue and they have hardware mitigations for Spectre/Meltdown/L1TF.
You never been to NYC have you. There are plenty of ridiculous stores here as well. Once a place is big enough and has enough people with cash that don't know how to spend it, all kind of weird stores spring up, happy to get some of that money.

LA is the same. Let's please not bash SF and tech un-deservely.

Heck, I'd say places like Miami, Vegas or LA are much worse in this department. (i.e. the ridiculous concept stores).

That seems like a distinction without difference unless your main goal is to place blame for their problems rather than examine the effects and remedies objectively.

I mean... that may be the attitude, but that doesn't make it good.

The last time I went to IKEA, their website had said they had 50+ of an item in stock, but there were 0 where it was supposed to be. I had to spend 10 minutes with an employee for them to find where the entire box had been misplaced by another employee, in another aisle.

When employees mess up (which is very common, we're all human), you can't take care of yourself. You need another employee to fix it. It has nothing to do with being a "big boy".
Their streamlined checkout is the secret. Much better than waiting 10 minutes in line at Wal-Mart for the privilege of checking yourself out and then exiting past the "greeter" who assumes you're a thief.
> a drug addicted street-thug doing it for no reason

It still sounds much less probable than anybody who would do it with an agenda.

> the streets are wide and you have to run for about 100m to the closest hiding spot

Can you post a link to the location? Not being from there and reading about these details for the first time, it's hard for me to imagine "one of Stockholm's busiest corners" but with no place to hide for 100m? No buildings? No entrances to the buildings? No entrances to the combinations of the buildings where you enter in one block of houses but can magically appear wherever across, already dressed in new clothes? That's all very doable in the busy cities I know, especially if somebody already planned and verified one or two escape routes.

Additionally, there could be a logic behind using an old gun: an origin of an old gun could be harder to trace, it could have been never recorded or marked.
But autonomous vehicles will mean a flood of them on the highway... Stuck in traffic.

While we can't point to any direct causation right now, it also took a long time for us to have proof that smoking was harmful.

In the following hypothetical scenario, think about how much blame you would be willing to assign Facebook. It may be none, but they may not be blameless: Facebook's poor privacy practices allow a malicious actor to influence the outcome of an election- they may have only swung a few thousand votes, but they focused on swing states and contributed to the outcome that occurred. This elected official acts in a particular manner, installs a war-monger as national security advisor, who encourages us into a conflict with Iran. Now hundreds or thousands of soldiers end up dying on each side because some malicious actor wanted to make a profit by electing a business-favorable person.

Did Facebook cause a war? No. Did they contribute to a war in some way and cause lives to be shortened? That depends on your interpretation. But I think there should be some regulation, and not the kind of buddy-buddy regulation we're seeing with the telecoms and the FCC right now.

If it were just people trying to sell me things, then the privacy issues and poor control of their data wouldn't be an issue. I've got people trying to sell me things on TV all the time. The risk is the other things that an untrustworthy person can do with this data, that's what I want the regulation and protection for.
> 2. The harms of privacy violations are hard to quantify the same way as deaths or dollars.

I'm not saying it's easy, but I am saying that no matter how you want to frame it, there's no chance it's even in the same ballpark, even with the psychosocial aspects that you rightly corrected me for ignoring.

> 3. The comparison between Facebook and Phillip Morris to which you're responding was not framed in terms of deathcount or health harm. So your reading of the comparison along those lines was bound to be troubled.

I think suggesting a similar policy treatment implies a certain equivalency of harm done. Whether the fine article explicitly makes that claim is beside the point, IMO.
Normal matrix notation has the same problem. I can write AB even if A is 5x5 and B is 3x3.

I think poor service and unstable sources of funding are fundamentally linked, and that stable funding is a precursor needed (or at least strongly helping) when considering a paradigm shift in how to deliver mental health care.

The funding societally is so poor now that the common end path is people ending up in prison. And, as the article indicates, it's not like the private insurance companies are picking up the expenditure.

This doesn't seem like it's much helpful. If someone is building a new API and want a list of standard/best practices to follow, something like OpenAPI[0] would be much more helpful.

Most markets here sell onions loose, so one is able to select only nice ones. The stores in the city are small and heavily trafficked, so the onions tend to turn over quickly. I suspect the stocking crews also eliminate the damaged onions before putting them in the bin.
I agree with author's point in regard of fiction/non fiction literature, as it gets traction among readers there is a better chance to sell a hard copy or get a citation.

However in case of professional and academic literature, as much as I would prefer that personally, such approach simply is not maintainable.

The best middle ground I've come across is when author gives out free copies per each request (like a letter from student who can't afford to pay the full amount)
The Paul Graham essay on start up ideas comes to mind [1]. Everybody kinda wanted this product but they didn't need the product. This paragraph sums it up:

> The danger of an idea like this is that when you run it by your friends with pets, they don't say "I would never use this." They say "Yeah, maybe I could see using something like that." Even when the startup launches, it will sound plausible to a lot of people. They don't want to use it themselves, at least not right now, but they could imagine other people wanting it. Sum that reaction across the entire population, and you have zero users.

Granted, it's not like I possess a magical "good startup ideas" power. And I don't have a successful startup under my belt. But still, I find it curious that many people haven't read this essay.

I updated my post with their comment, they may not be directly going through SEDE as there is an API that can be used. I know there is a bot called charcoal that sniffs out bad posts etc and auto reports them for example that uses the API.
