History of the Original Packet-Pocket Poem
People get by with sign language pretty well and they typically don't use much of their vocal equipment. In fact, it's quite possible that vocal language and sign language co-evolved in earlier hominids as the vocal tract slowly evolved for more sophisticate sound generation.
This is very black and white and borderline incorrect. There's nothing inherently bad about carbohydrates. Eating anything will make you more fat; simple carbs are just easy to eat.

Unrefined carbs like in potatoes and (whole)wheat and oatmeal etc. are not bad; those foods provide many good nutrients and do not cause the negative carb effects you mentioned.

It's the same as fruits containing sugar (which is a carbohydrate actually I think) but not causing the same ill effects as eating the same amount of sugar from Sour Patch Kids (candy which is ~80% sugar by weight).
> It's also really bad at being a helmet

A buddy of mine is actually flying the jet. He said helmet is cool to wear first time but quickly wears out in real flies and is even worse in combat. A lieutenant that first flew it many years ago called it "karate mirror"; he explained it must have been designed by someone who never fought a fight, but somewhat was stubborn enough to assume when you fight karate you would love to have a back mirror to see whats happening behind.

They military argues with contractors atm to actually come back to a regular helmet, because there is really no added value in flying Mach 1 and engage in fight in front of you and having ability to see behind or even under, when you have all sort of warning systems that monitors your surrounding and allows you enough time to alter your direction before you get hit.
I'm skeptical of the notion that karma is gained through high-quality and thought-provoking discussion; in fact, in my experience (with previous accounts on this site and other sites with point/karma systems) is that thoughts which conform to pre-conceived notions, thoughts which sound clever (but may not be) and re-framing of old rigorous concepts in new sheen with new words gain the most karma. The illusion that good discussion is rewarded ignores the fact that despite thinking we are (and some even striving to be) we don't optimize our reward system for good discussion, we optimize it for things we like - which even for the readers of Hacker News(!) turns out to be not far off modern status-quo pleasing.

As a corollary to my point, we'd also like thought-provoking material rather than pure provocateurs. But I'd take an intelligent provocateur over a philosophically/historically uninformed HN comment any day of the week.

This is exactly how some guys in gyms used to consume anabolic steroids, I'm talking about the practice around the 90s, for them this was just a dark pattern in sports (heavy weight lifting). Some used to train several months a year consuming, then stopping, and after a while (could be months to a year or more), they'd be returning to competition.

the street theory, quite supported by old consumers and ex-competitors, was that, ok the "super-size" could be gone after some months, but the strenght increase would not. So you've got - and you'd be able - to train really hard in those months, consuming steroids, supplements, controlling diet, etc.

You can't second hand smoke crack, that's not really how it works at all.

As for heroin, you can't just arrest people for shooting up in public and hope that's going to stop the problem.

The kinds of people who shoot up or light up a pipe in public are at such a low point in their life that the disincentive of arrest (and fines/jail) means literally nothing to them. They're also often homeless. Where exactly do you expect the homeless junkies to shoot up?

People doing hard drugs in public isn't like someone smoking a joint while walking down the street or even like someone drinking a 40 oz in public.

Instead, the better option is to take a pragmatic approach. In my city, in areas of high drug use, they have put needle disposal bins in the public toilets and other places people shoot up. Surprisingly, they actually do get used and have significantly reduced the number of used needles on the street.

Hello! o/ We've responded to a number of points here.

You can check out our roadmap

> IPFS is unworkable... making it usable in the next few years

Absolutely not.

The OP brings up a lot of great, useful feedback for us, and we'll respond to it.

But the OP is also simply wrong in saying it's "not usable". There are millions of end users benefiting from IPFS, 100Ks of libp2p nodes, we see PBs/mo of traffic in the infrastructure that we run, and millions of daily requests to our gateway. Look to fully decentralized applications and systems like OpenBazaar, Textile, Dtube, and others.

Beyond that, we're well aware of the many shortcomings, and working on them. We're unfortunately spread thin across a lot of projects (IPFS, libp2p, filecoin, ipfs-cluster, etc), but each is seeing significant growth and improvement.

You can see the long-term IPFS roadmap here https://github.com/ipfs/roadmap
>> Go's standard library is an order of magnitude (at least) better than Java's, much more comprehensive, much more cohesive, and much more capable

Can you please provide some examples? This would be a useful comparison, as Java had way more time to work on the libraries.
you got the point there was no virtual machines, docker stuff, etc. there was no VM snapshots when you screw it, there was no turn back, backups were mostly on tape cassettes...but i certainly do not miss that... i'm happy those things are gone, haha.
This is why Shaq is the Big Aristotle
Yeah, on reflection you're right about that. At the time when the language matched the hardware the abstraction was much more literal. It was only when they diverged that optimizing compilers were needed and all the complexity was introduced in order to maintain the fiction that the hardware was still as simple as PDP-11.
Quoting the referenced article, in turn quoting a Slate article:

> To sell the stolen industrial alcohol, the liquor syndicates employed chemists to “renature” the products, returning them to a drinkable state. The bootleggers paid their chemists a lot more than the government did, and they excelled at their job. Stolen and redistilled alcohol became the primary source of liquor in the country. So federal officials ordered manufacturers to make their products far more deadly.

They didn't put poison specifically in alcohol for human consumption, but they did put poison into chemicals that they knew would be consumed by humans. At the end of the day, I don't see the difference.
FYI: 2am possible rambling on design and software

Funny, I got the same feeling from Smalltalk and Lisp.

I own both "Common Lisp: The Language" and "Smalltalk-80: The Language and its Implementation", and while there are many ways those languages could be described as 'tight' (tightly-coupled, perhaps), at no point can you look at the C language and say "This could be smaller" without significantly removing functionality. Ok, perhaps there are some things around array/pointer syntax, etc. but the room for removing things from the language is very small.

LISP and Smalltalk are both 'kitchen-sink' languages. As I understand it (i.e. Unless I misread something or skipped a page) for an implementation to be a proper spec-conforming instance of Smalltalk-80, a screen and graphics server is required. Indeed, Smalltalk-80 requires a very specific model of graphics display that is no longer appropriate for the time. Steele's Lisp, has a number of functions that one could strip out and nobody would care or notice very much.

On the other hand, all of the C that is there serves a purpose.

Perhaps the only thing in your list that does feel like a tight design in addition to C, is FORTH. But FORTH puts the burden for the programmer to remember what is on the stack at any given time. It has some beauty, indeed, but all of the abstractions seem inherently leaky. I haven't programmed in FORTH, however, so I can't really talk more about how that plays out in practice.

If the "There is nothing else to remove" does not resonate with you, then I think the perspective of the OP, and myself, and others, when we call C a "small"/"tight" language, is that essentially, C was born out of necessity to implement a system. Conversely, the 'batteries included' aspect of Smalltalk and Lisp more or less presume the existence of an operating system to run. It feels like the designers often did not know where to stop adding things.

Most of the library functions in C, can be implemented very trivially in raw C. Indeed, much of K&R is just reinventing the library 'from scratch', there is no need to pull out assembly, or any more assumptions about the machine other than "The C language exists". Whereas, a lot of the libraries of Smalltalk and Lisp seem bound to the machine. Not to harp on too much about the graphics subsystem of smalltalk, but you couldn't really talk about implementing it without knowing the specifics of the machine. And while much of Lisp originally could be implemented in itself, Common Lisp kind of turned that into a bit of a joke. Half the time when using it, it is easier and faster to reimplement something than find whether it exists.

Apologies if this is repetitive or does not make much sense.
But by that logic, they shouldn’t come out with any new, non-ARM laptops at all!

As I see it, as long as Apple is putting out x86 hardware, there’s no reason why it can’t be AMD x86 hardware.

(I’m also secretly hoping the ARM thing won’t actually happen, but that’s neither here nor there, and I’m probably wrong.)

Submitting links also deeply skews the karma curve compared to regular commenting. A good submission that hits and gets to the top of the front page and stays there for a while can easily garner a few hundred internet points, and there is no risk of getting brigaded for an unpopular opinion. Even with points on submissions getting debuffed what seems like n/2 or something close to that (in any case it does not seem to be a one-to-one correspondence between the submission's point total and the increase to the submitter's score), submitting stories raises far more points than grinding in the comments.

As this brief discussion of the HN metagame shows, anything that gets a number stuck next to it will attract people to optimizing it like flies to a manure pile...

In my experience I haven't had that much difficulty finding problems that k8s solves and what problems it doesnt, for me. I eased into k8s using rancher and groked stuff as I went along, a little ansible and you can go a very long way if you want to use your own hardware.

"Do you have any plans to compete on pricing with other popular cloud/storage providers?"

We try to keep out pricing very roughly inline with Amazon S3. If you know to look for the discount signup rates it should be very slightly cheaper than S3.

We can't promise customers support from real UNIX engineers and also match B2 pricing. I'm happy with that and plan to continue on that path ...

Question was flagged before I could read it, but based on responses citing the birth rate, the premise of the question might have been along the lines of whether or not it's worth saving lives in areas with high birth rates if we're concerned about overpopulation.

Hans Rosling provides an exhaustive rebuttal to that question in Factfulness:
https://www.amazon.com/Factfulness-Reasons-World-Things-Bett...

Here's a speech he gives on the topic:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnexjTCBksw

To make it as short as possible: if you're concerned about family sizes, the best path forward is, counterintuitively, improving health and reducing infant mortality, not the opposite. Parents seem to compensate for high infant mortality and high poverty with larger families, but naturally adjust family sizes downward as conditions improve. That trend seems to hold in countries all around the world, dozens of examples so far without counterexamples. (I.e., Malthus was wrong, according to all the data we have.)

But his book is still really worth reading, it bolsters his argument with much more data.

Though he's scarcely a Limits to Growth devotee, it was Daniel Yergin's The Prize (book and BBC/PBS series) which hammered home the absolutely staggering impact of petroleum on human growth and technological progress.

https://www.worldcat.org/title/prize-the-epic-quest-for-oil-...

Vaclav Smil's Energy and Civilization tells the history, and impact, of energy on humanprogress evenmore specifically, and over a far longer period, through five eras: hunter-gatherer, ag, coal, oil, and whatever it is that comes next.

https://www.worldcat.org/title/energy-and-civilization-a-his...

EROEI is a large part of that, though it doesn't tell the whole story. EROEI of coal is often higher than petroleum, but petroleum's handling characteristics -- fluid rather than solid -- and inherent portability, over both long distances and short, make it vastly more useful and flexible, most especially in motive applications, and transport in particular.

Some of petroleum's role in mining can be replaced by electricity (see vast open-pit electrically-powered bucket excavators), so long as there's a primary energy source for that. Others not so much: global bulk liquid and ore transport is highly tied to oil-fueled marine deisel engines.

You're correct, but I feel like that's a huge question that may be partially answered by processed foods, but not fully.

For instance, work/life pressure results in stress, which could result in overeating which is easy to do given that not only is fast food more readily available than ever, but now so is restaurant quality foods though Uber. By ordering Uber at home you aren't going out, therefore you are being less social, which by being less social may lead to mental health issues. All the while not exercising and watching Netflix and sitting on social media looking at the lives of others.

Very out there example, but I think it's all intertwined
From Statistics Canada: "For example, the vast majority (98%) of those who have never consumed cannabis indicated that they would not use in the next three months. In contrast, most daily or almost daily (93%) and weekly (84%) users thought they would continue to use in the next few months at the same frequency." [1]

Fair point. But that still happens today. They add things like benzene, toluene or diesel to alcohol so it can’t be consumed.

It’s similar to over the counter codeine in Canada. The dose is small and combined with a dose of acetaminophen.

Oculus Is Forcing the Removal of SteamVR Streaming from Quest App, Dev Says
Agree EROEI is profoundly important for planning the next century.

However, your point doesn’t change the core criticism of the “skeptic” audience. Yes we use petrol for plastic but if it disappeared we could use plants. Yes we use petrol for heavy machines but if they disappeared we could use batteries.

And yes, there’s not enough petroleum available to build all the batteries and plant plastic fabrication facilities we’d need to replace the petroleum economy. So that sounds bad.

Except it’s only bad if all that happens quickly, at the same time. And it won’t. Batteries will become economical before we run out of petroleum for plastic.

I’m not saying they’re right, but the skeptic argument is that the economy will adapt to these challenges one at a time.

What’s the counter argument?
