I can attest to this from personal experience. It's worth trying to gradually move from a heel-strike style to running more on the balls of your feet while using cushioned running shoes before changing thin-soled shoes. The first time I tried doing this I went too far and my calves were so stuff I couldn't walk properly for three days. Although I quite like running in thin-soled Vivo Barefoot shoes now, I'm thinking of changing to zero-drop cushioned shoes because I run on tarmac / concrete and found that thin-soled shoes seem to hurt my feet a bit more without any noticeable gain.

There's a major gap between 'technically superior' and 'subjectively superior'. You sound pretty out of touch here in a time when LPs and casettes have made a comeback, chiptunes are pretty hip, some artists have literally released albums on floppy disk, and, as already mentioned, contrary to your own sarcasm low-poly graphics are already a an indie game trope.

Just because something has more impressive metrics doesn't make it fun.

> Why do like half of the world's tech billionaires live in Silicon Valley?

Because wealth is concentrated at the top... That's the whole problem. Society gets poorer while the ultra-wealthy continue to accumulate wealth.

> It allows the less privileged to build a good life, but it also hinders the most ambitious ones.

Good..? So your complaint is that Nordic countries try to make give everyone a good standard of living rather than creating poverty so a few more millionaires can become billionaires? That argument doesn't make any sense to me. I don't even see where you're coming from.

> We can argue endlessly whichever is better for the society, but professionals often choose the place to live based on what is best for them, not what political model some place runs on.

A lot of professionals aren't ultra-wealthy though. They're the ones working longer hours in the US for similar pay relative to most of Europe. They're being exploited harder and seeing nothing as a result except their proportionate spending power diminish further as their healthcare costs continue to outpace their wages.
True. Customer boycott have worked in the past. DELETEUBER campaign was quite a big PR nightmare for Uber and this could be measured in their market share vs Lyft.

Same from buying power. You can either buy from small business and make a difference for a family. Or you can keep shopping at big box stores. Sure it feels like a small impact, but this isn't small at all for the small business. Those things add up.
> On the other hand, there is a truly maddening inconsistency in whether you get an interface or a physical struct.

That’s an issue, though it’s also one with most Go libraries too.

The thing is though, unnecessary interfaces also kind of suck. It makes code harder to follow, when the concrete type is hidden behind an interface. Also, one of the things that’s common in Go is testing with real implementations, rather than mocking - and I used to do just that. Even with Redis, I had a tiny shim server that implements the Redis protocol, that I would use in tests. Not absolutely everything can be done efficiently this way, but the virtues of testing with real clients are hard to ignore. Mocks and stubs can hide a lot of bugs that you would need to hope are caught by slower integration or e2e tests... And by virtue of being slower, they generally would cover less branches, too.

> Then there's errors. But that's another day's rant.

Have you kept up with the latest? I think they’re headed in the right direction with errors. Specifically with Is and As, along with the %w directive. The %w directive is a bit weird, but honestly, it’s a clever solution, and it seems like it would work.

> Embracing marriage as a team sport goes a long way to avoiding petty resentment.

Fully in agreement. Good communication and empathy in marriage are paramount to successfully raising kids. I'm just saying even the most understanding people can hit a breaking point after long enough without sleep, especially without a lot of external help.
Destiny 2 doesn't map 1:1, but I've found it to be a pretty fun, shooter riff on World of Warcraft while taking significantly less time. Titans are tanks, Warlocks are healers, and Hunters are DPS.

After publishing it on addons.mozilla.org, I almost immediately got messages that it marked reachable websites as expired.

So instead of just checking the HTTP status code for 404, I now also check if the page content contains strings like "404" or "not found". If it doesn't contain those I mark the bookmark as maybe expired.
As a counterpoint, I've been doing long-distance running for around 15 years (from a range of 30-85 miles per week) with 0 chronic injuries, 0 major injuries, and only been plagued by relatively minor injuries.

If you've lived in Vietnam, you'd understand. The govt here does not act with the same logic that you (or I) may have.

For example, here is an English translated news website, that is run by the govt. Recently, they ran this story...

One choice quote:

"Another Ho Chi Minh City citizen named Hai set a strict weekly timetable for his daughter to study computing, chess, different forms of art and English out of his own belief that children best develop their ability between ages three and six. As a result, the poor girl suffered from physical symptoms of stress and slight autism, prompting his family to consult a psychiatrist for her special treatment."

Apparently, "study computing, chess, different forms of art and English" causes slight autism in children.

It all depends on what you did for a living.

Case in point, agriculture. Averaged over a year, maybe it wasn't too bad, but during planting and harvesting, the day didn't end.

And animals need feeding and care through the day, so that was an anchor if you were raising animals.
I have a hard time seeing the overpopulation argument as anything other than classist and racist nonsense.

It seems like another way of stating that is that philosophy is useful up until it gets into the realm of falsifiable and then is falsified.

It makes me question, then, a lot of the usefulness of modern philosophy.

I'd say philosophy that is useful must show some provable improvement into a way of life - that could be a model that can make a person more happy/productive/whatever but the explanatory power of modern philosophy is bunk.

In theory both Feminism and Communism are perfect, by their own definitions.

In practice, feminist District Attorneys are attacked by other feminists for defending due process, see here:

The point is, yes, in the past there were many injustices against women. No one denies this. These injustices must be corrected.

But the solution is not to tilt the balance so that all injustice now goes against men, when any accused is automatically assumed guilty, and losing their jobs, scholarships, everything, before a ruling is made.

The solution is to try to avoid any and all injustice, and we are failing at that.

Hell, we can't even criticize feminism if we are not women and self-proclaimed feminists.
A single society is too broad a lens.

To me it usually happens if I upgrade one of the @types/* packages, and then yarn/npm decides to install a separate version of its dependencies, even if I already have a different (compatible) version. There is no easy way AFAICS to tell yarn/npm that you really only want a single version of each @types/* package.

Same applies to most regular npm packages as well, for example you really only want a single version of "react", too.
I realize that barefoot was speaking about studying things that are relevant to your job, but because you asked "what could you possible study for hours...that would be worthwhile", I'm going to say "study whatever interests you", regardless of it's relevance to your job.

In the public cloud (aws/gce) we provision unikernels as vms themselves - that is there is no underlying linux instance. It's just the unikernel riding on top of the hypervisor (in the case of google that's kvm, for the t2s on aws it's xen but their c5s are kvm). For small services you use t2-micros (aws) and f1-micros (gce). Both will give you a thread. If you need more you scale more.

This works great if you have a handful of services - if you have hundreds or thousands of services yes you might want to look at running on your own hardware as the public cloud could get expensive at that point or conversely you can re-evaluate if you need hundreds of services and maybe just opt for larger services that use heftier amounts of threads/memory (eg: larger instance sizes). As for running your own hardware we have crappy (eg: $800) servers in our office that have 32 threads and we haven't really stressed it at all but we can easily run thousands of unikernels on those boxes. Also, in the bay area you can grab a cabinet from Hurricane Electric for $400/month. Imagine what you could do with real hardware.

I think you're both right. As a businessman he's decided he does not need to do better in order to maintain whatever profit he requires to fund his livelihood. That's a perfectly valid decision. Who are we on HN to advise otherwise?? There are tons of examples of entrepreneurs who make "lifestyle businesses" that are good enough to put their kids through school. I'm not going to tell them they're doing something wrong!

The one thing I disagree with is that the graphics are not "retro". They're just bad. It doesn't look like someone sat down and planned a complete set of artwork having a deliberate retro style, with a consistent palette, lighting, etc. It looks like someone hired a bunch of rando one-off artists and threw together whatever they came up with--which is essentially what OP wrote that he does! It's working for him, so why change it?
Churches and the Market Economy (2002)
and then????????
In your fervor to dismiss the human experience it appears that you have played a bit loose with the logical formation of your argument and thereby missed an important point. Your premise is that the veracity of previously-achieved scientific results holds independent of human opinion or emotion. You then use this basis to conclude that "...feelings are irrelevant to both the scientific process and the results found from using it." But here you are 1) confusing the product of the scientific process (a distinctly human endeavor with obvious limitations) with the actual nature of reality that said process is attempting to probe, and 2) conflating the achieved results of the process with the process itself. In fact, nearly every novel scientific result achieved is the product of a human mind's creative efforts (and sometimes fortunate accidents). The enthusiasm, open-mindedness, and feelings of a scientist absolutely impact his or her line of thought and level of creativity and therefore directly influence the set of scientific results that are generated by the scientific process. Our ability to probe reality is correlated with our ability to imagine and intuit relationships (and to construct experiments that may illuminate them); our imagination and intuition are correlated with our current and past emotional states. Ergo, human feelings directly impact the output of the scientific process and our understanding of the natural laws underpinning reality.

You may consider the case of pure mathematics, where intensely creative and open-minded individuals manipulate exotic structures atop towering ladders of abstraction; such exploration is the source of much of our most powerful technology and insights into reality. If you listen to explanations of the working methods employed by mathematicians many of them will claim that among the tools they rely upon most heavily are intuition and "feeling".

Once you move beyond the unfortunate anti-human perspective of what I'll half-jokingly call "extreme scientific materialism" and accept the fundamental role of the human experience in the unfolding of the cosmos you might come to see that a mind bent on pure rationality (to the exclusion of all else) is like a beautiful, fueled-up airplane idling on the runway with no pilot in it.

They can. In the same way they were created: By individual action.
We should not waste our time with individual action when that urge to do something should be directed at politics, policy, and law.

Someone recommended Human Error by James Reason on HN: https://www.amazon.com/Human-Error-James-Reason/dp/052131419...

I'm not sure how comprehensive / modern it is (not my subfield), but I enjoyed it. And it provided at least one framework to think about error.

Specifically, that most errors can and should be categorized by the states necessary for their happening. Because the unique characteristics of each state (of which there are many) all suggest very different approaches to resolving or eliminating them. To bring it back to the example in question here, remediating the procedure to eliminate a lack of knowledge of failure cases or risk would not have prevented either of these accidents (both were well-informed). However, technical solutions to physically prevent unacceptably risky "bypass" procedures would have.

I felt like I followed the proof. The claim is actually very narrow: that to be a perfect regulator of a system you need an exact model. Obviously, lots of devices in our world can regulate things reasonably well with simple models.

For instance, a standard thermostat keeps your house at 20 +/- 2 degrees C. In order to keep it at 20.00000000 exactly, it might need to model every air molecule bouncing around.
And yet the same institutions that are responsible for the full spectrum climate propaganda (including using children now in Saint Greta? a tactic with a pretty disreputable history...) are also promoting open borders, because once they get to the developed world those immigrants are magically not going to start contributing to climate change at the same level as everyone else in the developed world ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Seconded. I've covered nearly 4,000 miles largely on tarmac/pavements in the last 2 years in Vibrams alone. I suffered with numerous running injuries in trainers before I switched. I've not had any running type injuries since I made the switch. They may not be for everyone, but they've certainly worked for me. Additionally I'm only on my 2nd pair in that time, although they are now slightly overdue for replacement.

3) The integration with other software.
