I have a very vivid memory of being between 8 and 10 years old and building a play house unsupervised with a friend. We used all sorts of power tools and materials. It was a blast and the play house came out awesome.
Never seen one of those in Europe, I would have probably bought some... anyway I love how that most of that page has clearly not been touched for 13 years.

Go Vegan. If you already believe animal cruelty is wrong, you already believe in veganism.
The four freedoms go far beyond just the ability to fix stuff. It also includes the ability to redistribute copies and modified versions.

I think there are more options than just "open source it all" and "keep it all proprietary". You could, for example, only provide the source code (or parts of the source) under a NDA contract when requested and merge "community fixes" upstream, or something. I don't know what would work well in practice (not many businesses have experimented with it) but I'm fairly confident a model can be though of that works well yet isn't "open source" in the sense that we understand it today.
You can't solve a problem without knowing the actual cause of the problem.
No lets not, the term makes perfect sense how its being used. It has absolutely nothing to do with how much of a cut the business takes, not sure where you picked up that impression but its not correct.

How and Why Adobe Is Making Open Source a Strategic Priority
I often run into this argument - "inconsistent syntax", followed by zero proof. Then I wonder - is the person making the comment even using PHP or is the person behind the comment.. even capable programmer?

Yes, PHP has been "cleaned up" and you have always had the option to use clean, concise way of coding without language interfering or hindering you in any way.

There's no programming language out there that makes up for the sloppiness and inability of the person behind the screen.
The anti-visual noise bias has gone too far. You remove boxes, underlines, and understandable cues like arrows, then they remove words and replace them with nonsense icons. Most UIs make no sense.
> Democrats are pretty terrible too, but mostly because they are naive, unwilling to get their hands dirty, and try to play by rules that are only used by them.

The Senate best represents the "party elders" while presidential administrations come and go. And judicial nominations are a major responsibility of the Senate.

They used to be largely pro-forma: as long as the nominee had a decent judicial record, the party in power was allowed to nominate whoever they wanted. Democrats started scorched Earth tactics back with Justice Bork back in '87; attacking his character and slandering him rather than challenging his competence.

Seeing that Alberto Gonzalez was likely to be a Hispanic Republican SCOTUS nominee, they wanted his career ended, and the hearings were so vicious his wife miscarried.

And this has gone off the rails finally with Kavanaugh. Regardless of the truth of Blasey's accusations, it is irrefutable that Democrats sat on them until the last minute, releasing the accusations to delay the nomination until they could retake the Senate.

This was using a criminal accusation, and the human being who was potentially a victim of rape, as a weapon to further their political ends. This represents the deepest and most inhuman disregard possible for the rule of law and justice.

All the while, Democratic nominations continue to either go through, or they have been denied by procedure, which was always the rule and the entire point of having elections. At no point have Democratic judicial nominees been removed by slander that would itself be a crime in any other context.
Ask HN: Do you use a data science platform, which one? Why not?
The reality is different though.

There is nothing in this world quite so soul crushingly painful as having your child die while doing something that the parent and perhaps people in general, consider to be 'safe.'

For me, it took some time to fall madly and deeply in love with my spouse, and to my surprise I developed that attachment instantly to my children. That same sort of passion that you would do anything to keep them safe, to help them grow up to be the people you want them to be.

When a child dies doing something that "should" have been ok, it creates a searing, wrenching, soul destroying since of loss and guilt and anger and pain. No waiver, no explanation of statistics, no explanation of preventative measures, nothing can salve that wound. And so parents, even ones of limited means, have been known to invest everything they have, time, money, energy, into making someone pay in the hopes it will make the grieving parent feel slightly less pain.

It doesn't make for less pain of course, only time and distance can mute the pain, but that can't be explained either because the desire to do something is irrationally over powering.

i remember working at the OSDL in 2001/2002 and being amazed that we had a whole terabyte spinning.
I maintain others Perl code and am no expert. Its our most use web tool and has been running for 10 years. I think Perl is different enough to confuse people who look at it (@,%,$) and it can make it hard to follow. I still have a little problems switching to it from other languages sometimes (do x unless y seems backward to me). I've also been told I write perl like a c programmer. Perl does have some beautiful parts though..

CPAN is great, but its hard sometimes when I just want to install something easy. It was the first great shared library and it shows its age a bit. Last time I ran it, it was compiling C code for some strange reason. We have trouble setting up shared perl environments, something we don'e have with python.

Biology has a lot of Perl code still, but it seems to moving to python.

Terrible code exists in many languages.
It’s also a relatively big slot in ever-thinner devices where even a slim sound jack is “too bulky” nowadays.
Not a single one of those signatories is far left. The overwhelming majority are centre right.

And historically, efforts to curb uncritical airtime for violent and dangerous people have been fairly common (albeit not entirely uncontroversial). Neither Ireland nor the UK were ever far left or fascist but RTÉ and the BBC both heavily restricted interviews with loyalist and republican paramilitaries during the Troubles in Northern Ireland.
+1 for please open source it! That sounds like my ideal budget tracker.
It's science, not a "debate club." It's simply about trying to reconstruct something based on the samples which are still incomplete (and will remain very hard to improve):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lokiarchaeota

"Specific sediment horizons, previously shown to contain high abundances of novel archaeal lineages[2][3] were subjected to metagenomic analysis. Due to the low density of cells in the sediment, the resulting genetic sequence does not come from an isolated cell, as would be the case in conventional analysis, but is rather a combination of genetic fragments.[4] The result was a 92% complete, 1.4 fold-redundant composite genome named Lokiarchaeum.[1]

The metagenomic analysis determined the presence of an organism's genome in the sample. However, the organism itself has not been cultured.[1]"

Now knowing that, the end of the article is what is the point:

"But analyses of the Asgard archaea, including the Lokis, remain limited. “What people are really waiting for is the isolation of a member of these lineages,” says evolutionary microbiologist Simonetta Gribaldo at the Pasteur Institute."

The other point is:

"Other scientists are reserving judgement: “Trees change,” is a common refrain."

Exactly.

It seems some editors or the article writers think that when they cover something as a "debate" there's a "win" somewhere for them (1). "Mysterious" too. But it's confusing the causal readers who then miss to understand how amazing is what we already know and how fine these details are that still aren't known.

----

1) It's also worth noting that there are some rich entities which pay a lot of money to "promote doubt" in the successes of natural sciences. Maybe even the non-biased editors "pick the signal" generated by the public addressed by such groups and then think that they just "reached more readers" with such titles or approaches in the articles. I would have expected from "Nature" not to, however.
That's the point of inalienable rights. You cant "progress" them away.

The iBuyer type programs will change everything. You will sell your house to a company and then maybe even purchase another one from them. Also once they have the houses then they can force reduced commissions on buyer agents. It will be a slow boil but it will happen. Sellers can sell with no strings (and they might get less), the company will rehab it/// Basically if you can bankroll the inventory you can take over the market.
"Release the source code" does not necessarily equal "allowing people to make derivative products from it". You could release it under a strict "only to be used to fix defects"-license.

It wouldn't be "open source" or "free software" as we understand it today, but I don't mind, and it's a lot better than what we have now.
No, but it does relate to high density living where the home range of a person is more condensed. Additionally, we have studies regarding the negative effect of visitor density and intensity on animals.

The US has plenty of laws against the use of speech to promote violence. The Netherlands has, in practice, some of the most expansive free speech rights of any corner of the planet, yet they had no problem signing on (to this non-binding agreement).

First, I was surprised, then I read the comments.
I've heard that idea for a long time and have wondered about it: drag (air resistance) is dependent on the square of the velocity and in highway cruising where you're not accelerating, overcoming drag is a huge part of energy expended. How can the engine be tuned to be so inefficient at lower speeds that it somehow gets better fuel efficiency at higher speeds? And if that was ever a thing with older engines, is it still a thing with modern fuel-injected engines that sense performance and adjust fuel injection to optimize?
I've had a couple experiences getting paid to do nothing for a couple months, one during a summer research project in undergrad and one at a big tech company. I found it far more stressful and less valuable than if I'd had actual work to do.
Along these lines, Bay Area folks might be interested in Camp Tipsy, the crazy campout run by Chicken John where people build boats from junk and try (not) to sink them. Lots of opportunity for kids to get in (the right amount of) trouble.

I believe animal cruelty is wrong and I respect people who commit to vegeterianism/veganism, but I’ll keep eating meat until it’s economically unviable.
In my experience C++ programmers aren't necessarily great programmers as such. Because low levels things usually requires domain knowledge and experience more so than programming brilliance.
How do you find GNUcash? I looked at it awhile back and found the UI so antiquated compared to modern tools, but I'd prefer something different than the commercial provider I'm using now.
where did you get the 100x number? Haven't seen it on the page you provided. Also, I checked previously gVisor and the performance indeed worse, but nowhere even close to 100x worse.
> Remember, pilots go from plane to plane, potentially of various types. If a particular plane you don't fly frequently behaves very differently in a critical situation, that's a bad thing. You need the muscle memory. If they only flew the MAX 100% of the time, probably not a big deal.

That's what type certifications exist for and it's actually pretty rare for pilots to switch between planes. In their career with a particular airline they're going to be flying one type family of planes (eg: A319, A320, and A321 all count as the same plane from a certification standpoint) day in and day out, it's quite expensive to get certified on a second plane.

As for your car example that's the exact thing MCAS was a bodge for it was to make the MAX8 fly enough like the rest of the 737 family to require minimal retraining. It was a bad bodge that should have been classified as a safety critical system (meaning 3+ AoA etc).

Also highly relevant is it's not very clear how bad the pitch up effect is from reporting it could vary anywhere between a slight problem that would only really put the type rating in danger to a critical safety flaw.

Not at all. What made you think that?

The documentation itself just isn't the issue. I in fact wanted to highlight that context is a key factor by writing:

> The problem isn't the documentation, but how we as a global society chooses to work with those documents.
Yeah, but so what?

Companies need censorship to make money. They shouldn't have to lose money simply to satisfy your or my idea of not censoring.

Now the government? Yeah. That's a whole other issue.

It seems insane that people would be okay with their bank credentials being stored in plaintext.

We humans, without the use of a clock, do not have the faintest idea when midday or midnight is. We can't judge when the sun is highest in the sky, and we certainly can't judge when it's lowest under our feet.

The sun isn't even highest in the sky at noon! Firstly because of timezones (your noon is based on highest-sun in the middle of your timezone, not your current longitude), and secondly because of this whole epicyclic botheration:

?

Can you give me an example? Java's `finalize` is not deterministic destruction. D's scope guards (or Go's `defer`) are also not like destructors, because a calling code has to take care of them.

There's hardly any productivity gain, and it is being offset by productivity gained by a reliable and hassle-free resource management.
It’s really gross how big companies operate. Our VP was more than happy to pay it! I would even go so far as to say that our entire solution was structured in favour the contractor. A smarter solution didn’t need their proxy at all, but this was the direction we “had” to go with.
Wouldn't it be better just to put it up on Github Pages? It could have all the same functionality as a PWA.

I do not understand what people like about vscode. If I ignore insane resource consumption this is at most average IDE (the only real benefit over sublime "text editor" is integrated debugger). This is most preferred editor at work so I am forced to work with it and there are some of the most serious issues I have:

1. Only one side panel, so I can't see outline, test results and project files at the same time as I am used to see on widescreen monitors in other IDEs.

2. Language servers are still not comparable to solutions offered by java IDEs and in case of C++ they are worse than anything else I used.

3. Python extension constantly forgets and founds unit test. There is little support for unit test in other languages.

4. Official C++ extension despite being completely useless consumes several gigabytes of space for "indexed" files (I wonder if it is so bad to not hurt sales of Visual Studio). I also tried to use clangd which is better but there is still a lot of work to be done before it is useful.

I like sublime rust support for really small projects and eclipse support for larger projects (which is not ideal) but I have not coded anything serious in rust yet, so I do not know if there is some good IDE.
Why should you have to pay taxes for either? Why is renting a car something that should have extra penalties over owning one? As someone who doesn't own a car anymore (as a lifestyle choice) I'm now noticing many hidden things in the US which benefit car-owners to the detriment of the car-free.
It took place three times actually; Ping proposed string interpolation in 2000 in PEP 215 https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0215/ and it was rejected, or rather simplified by Barry Warsaw in 2002 in PEP 292, which was actually implemented: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0292/ and remains in modern Python. Barry's optimism that this would satisfy the demand for template strings was of course foolish, but it met with Guido's misguided approval at the time. Fifteen years later, it was proposed a third time as PEP 498 and finally got in in a sane form: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0498/
Incitement of violence is actually mostly legal under U.S law except when it calls for imminent action that is likely to happen, which is a surprisingly high bar to meet. See Brandenburg v. Ohio, 395 U.S. 444 (1969) [0]. Take note that this ruling was in defense of the KKK, but that it was later cited to protect the speech of the former NAACP Leader, Charles Evers [1].

>The conditions that must be met to impose criminal liability for speech that incites others to illegal actions are imminent harm, a likelihood that the incited illegal action will occur, and an intent by the speaker to cause imminent illegal actions. This precedent remains the principal standard in this area of First Amendment law, since the Supreme Court has not revisited it.

Not a NIMBY. But. What these type of pieces never discuss is how much they think rents will be brought down by upzoning.

Manhattan/the Bay Area/LA/DC would need staggering rental decreases to reach anyone's definition of 'affordable', much less the government's definition of a middle class family. Like, 33-50%+. I struggle to find examples of this happening in market economies outside of a major natural disaster.

If the US was an authoritarian dictatorship and we bulldozed every single family home in the Bay Area, and replaced them with 100 story apartment buildings as far as the eye can see, of course rents would dramatically decrease. Seeing as that's not an option- the discussion is how much could rents be brought down by upzoning in a market economy where only so many homes are sold every year, developers can only build so much per year, development is very economic cycle and interest rate driven, etc. Like, upzoning only works once the existing single family home owner sells, and then a developer purchases. Did you know the average turnover in many neighborhoods is 1-2% annually? Thousands of units are not exactly going to flood the market overnight.

I'm for upzoning generally, but people assign it magical properties that don't exist IRL. The whole NIMBY/YIMBY/build more discussion is kinda reaching unrealistic fever pitches among the right crowd of people who, like, follow Noah Smith on Twitter or whatever
While currently living in CA and having driven in many foreign countries - predominately France, sticking to the appropriate lane makes a HUGE difference, from personal experience.

French drivers will mercilessly tailgate and flash their lights at you if you're driving too slow on multi-lane roads. They live by the rule to be as far to the right as your preferred top speed allows, no matter your actual speed in KPH or the speed limit, so that faster cars can be on the left. (How it is supposed to work in the states.)

Even if you're doing an easy 145KPH (90 MPH) and you're in the far left lane and another car is approaching faster, you are 100% expected to move to the right and allow them to maintain their illegal speed. I absolutely love their driving behavior.
> building renewable generation will produce more GHG's than you are going to "stop producing". Manufacturing isn't a clean process

Production of renewables certainly does not produce more GHGs than are saved. You must be following poor articles and sources of advice on the matter if you believe this. The matter is well studied and documented. If you wish to get really emphatically critical about these matters in general, you need to respect or at least deal with the IPCCs research and policy advice. It is folly to write passionately about renewable energy tech otherwise.

I'm going into nitpicking rabbit hole, but the definition of 'censorship' is government censorship. The word comes from Roman republic position of 'censor'.

"The censor was a magistrate in ancient Rome who was responsible for maintaining the census, supervising public morality, and overseeing certain aspects of the government's finances."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_censor

When its not government censorship it's called self-censorship or something entirely different.
Your child could have slipped when getting off a train and permanently injured themselves, or in any other number of ways.

Low probability high severity events trigger a cognitive bias that makes people attempt to make things '100% safe'. There are two problems with that.

1: nothing can ever be made 100% safe so those low probability high impact events still happen from time to time.

2: making things safe hits a steep diminishing returns curve after some point, and the opportunity cost of creating said safety level starts to outweigh the benefits of not creating it.
I don't understand how this is a problem? If OP is a Senior Dev and interviewing for another Senior Dev role, wouldn't you assume that this new role is probably going to require similar skills to perform similar managerial type responsibilities?

I mean, sure go ahead and prepare for interviewing, brush up on whatever you think will help. But if a company has a policy of consistently rejecting candidates based on testing of skills that are never used on the job, it sounds like there's a lot of room to improve that interview process.
It's highway speeds that are too low. Street speeds are mostly OK, though the best way to fix speeding on city streets is to have speed limiting devices rather than lower speed limits.
