Such an odd sentiment. It's not elitism in the conventional sense. It's an investment in the System passed down to you by your forebearers, and faith in it being something of value to maintain and eventually pass down to your descendants.

>I also fail to see why people in one country should be inherently given benefits that people in another country lack...

Do you understand the underlying driving concept behind the concept of a country's sovereignty? It's an understanding that the people of a certain geographical region are free to establish their own political systems of governance to get stuff done. It's kind of complicated now, because of the whole corpus of International recognition and that whole jazz, but the fundamentals remain the same.

If you don't connect how patriotism comes out as a natural extension of investment with regards to the resulting structure that allows for the flexing of the country in question's capabilities to become greater than the sum of its parts...well... I can understand it to a point, but it strikes me as folding ones arms, sitting on a fence, and declaring everywhere is terrible.

Which is okay too I suppose. Though, it likely won't ingratiate you to anyone. Especially considering it demonstrates an unwillingness to make any type of fundamental value judgement or to accept a particular corpus or ideal of government as being the yard stick you measure with.

I.e. as an American, I measure other non-U.S. countries vs. how well their system guarantees freedoms enshrined in the national Bill of Rights . Heck, I judge my own country, and the various States that compose it at different time periods via how well it stays true to it's Constitutional intent, and the ideal of a government as laid out in the Declaration of Independence. Common Law divergence from Constitutional statute all have an impact, but I believe the system is about as good as it's going to get.

Anyway. Not sure if I've done anything to clear it up. Just... Didn't want to scroll by without leaving something in response to such a solitary viewpoint.
Technically I think Mercurial would be better for engineering wise in the long term.

Mercurial has a single implementation (Git has 5), and they greatly discourage anyone from implementing a second. This gives them a single source of truth for the implementation.

Mercurial has better hooks in place. If a company (such as Google or Facebook) wants to change the behavior of an action, they can override or hook into a specific spot in the code and change how things work. So I could create an extension that completely changes some aspect of how Mercurial works without needing to fork it (unlike Git, where Microsoft had to release a fork of it to support their file system change).

It had better windows support than Git did for a long time. I believe it is still better because you don't rely on MinGW or some other Linux abstraction layer (though it uses python).
For me, I started using Hg before I started using Git, so I have about as many Hg repos as Git repos.

I also started using Bitbucket, back when that was the only option (they didn't have git support until Atlassian bought them).

I have no personal desire to transform these Hg repos into Git. That just seems like busy work.

Bitbucket is causing work for me (granted I never paid them a dime over these last 10+ years, so I have nothing to complain about).

My choices are to migrate these repos from Hg to git, or move hosts. I'm pretty sure I'm going to move hosts, seems like less work.
Different strokes I suppose.

I enjoy noticing the system tray spin on cue when I boot up a laptop or plug a phone in as it syncs over WLAN. It's quite a cool feeling seeing the automatic file sync through the air as if by magic, no separate Dropbox/Google/Onedrive/Nextcloud service needed.

I can't do that with only Syncthing on Windows.

> "... why are MacOS apps so damned beautiful and plentiful compared to linux and windows apps?"

While that was the case ten years ago, honestly the macOS app ecosystem is mostly running on fumes at this point. There's few people coming into AppKit development, and iOS developers seem to have an irrational fear of putting any effort into learning the desktop paradigm even though the API is largely the same.

Apple is making half-hearted efforts to fix this problem by introducing two new GUI APIs on the Mac. "Catalyst" is a porting layer that lets you put iPad apps on the Mac desktop. The look'n'feel of these apps is pretty much as clunky as you'd expect. Then there's "SwiftUI" which is a new React-like runtime that spans all Apple platforms. SwiftUI is in its early stages and will take years to catch up with AppKit's functionality.

At this point Mac desktop development is effectively in a limbo: no one wants to start new AppKit projects because Apple is strongly implying that it's deprecated (although they don't seem to know exactly what it's being replaced with). So it's pretty much Electron or Qt on the Mac now, unfortunately. As an AppKit developer since 2002, it breaks my heart a bit.
I imagine that the CPU-intensive parts of Flask and Jinja2 are already written in C. Much of Python's standard library is.

800ms is a reasonable response time, and if they scale up according to their userbase, they will hopefully maintain that time.

(Also, we don't know how much of that 800ms is Python vs. IO)
If this is not satire I can only applaud the balls of the marketing. I am certainly not going to forget the name (reminds me of that airplane company "Boom"). On the downside all the HN comments will be about the name.

I received a text message from my provider recently with a link to tips for reducing exposure.

My instant thought was legal has seen a problem. You don't go suggesting ways to minimise exposure if it's a non issue and as safe as we've always been told.

I guess step one to reduce legal liability is put the onus of safety onto the user so they share some of the responsibility, or so you can announce that there is a problem but we've been warning you for years.

When told to don't panic, it usually means you have a fair reason to.
I thought Muslims perform their burials in style of compost.

In Pakistan,

The dead body is wrapped in cloth shroud and the grave is dug six feet and is lined with concrete blocks (ground is bare Earth). Coffin is not used. The body is laid in the grave then if I remember correctly, grave is covered partially (25% - 33%?) with soil and then thick concrete/stone slabs are placed on top to cover the grave. After that, the grave is covered with mound of Earth.

It's been like that in Cuba for years. These guys made an actual commercial, for an actual Cuban doctor, who actually sold cars, that ran on actual late night TV, lampooning it.

Plenty of examples in Cuba of luggage handlers making more money than doctors.
And why does this anger you so?

Nobody is forcing you to compost anyone else's body, right?

You have the right to be burned or buried in a variety of sanitary ways. Composting is currently not allowed, yet, in many jurisdictions.

Do you find mummies undignified? Stalin's preserved body left for display? "Heaven" burials Zoroastrianism practices?
Out before the crash. Well played, sir.

Those of us who have decades left on the planet are likely to spend our later years cleaning up for (or perhaps merely surviving) the excesses of the baby boomers and the generation immediately before them.
I am looking to preserve the pull requests and corresponding comment threads from bitbucket. I'm thinking the way to go might be to save static HTML of the pages and host them somewhere, modifying the links to issues to point to migrated ones, and links to PRs to the hosted pages. Anyone else thinking of trying this approach? Advice, criticism?
In general and from my experience, I'd say integrations are more effective at increasing retention than they are at increasing sales.

It's not that integrations aren't valuable to new users, it's just that users will be initially be buying for your core value, as oppose to an integration that is by definition not core.

Yeah, if 2 companies are equal then I suppose the one having Zapier will be better, but that doesn't seem sustainable :)

Once users have spent time in your app, they will start adding integrations that will make your app "stickier" and hopefully increase retention.
No, I'm referring to the second section.

Balloons are drift bodies rather than directed bodies (blimps, dirigibles). The only control is elevation, via dropping ballast, releasing gas, or application or gradual loss of heat (for hot-air / heated-gas balloons).

I used to use a VM (motivation being to run Linux on my locked-down corporate-imaged Macbook) and it was usable, but not as fast it could be if it had free reign over all CPU/RAM.

But, at least the way I was doing it, it's not adding any security as discussed here, since you're doing everything in the VM so anything in the VM has access to everything just as if everything on the host anyway.
Agile is nowhere near an end...

People just aren't willing to admit the parts of it that are Kool Aid, and the parts that are useful because it's a profit machine (books, training, merch, etc)as well as a methodology for getting things done in projects.

I have never seen anyone implement agile fully in my world, it's usually 50% or below in terms of adoption rate. Passing around a hockey stick is a gimmicky thing, and I've always avoided the silly ideas, i want to go to work, stick to the points, get things done right and then go home... Sprint Poker, passing a hockey stick, agile toys, going to Agile conferences etc can be left to agile coaches if you ask me.

> Well more specifically either capitalism ends or the world ends.

Let's say capitalism ends right now without destabilizing the entire world (so no post apocalyptic scenario where only a few million survive). What would be a system that doesn't result in the "world as we know it" ending in the coming centuries? You would still have to deal with the current state of the environment and the current population. People will still be the same persons they are now, who wants to eat meat, over-consume, close their eyes when an issue doesn't concern them directly. Or do you see it in a different way?
There is a place like that near where I live in Canada, your remains gets transformed into a fertilizer and a small tree is planted right above it.

I really like the idea of having a tree with my name on it, instead of a tombstone.
I think it's mainly the macOS widgets that look good, thus making it easy to build a good looking UI out of those components. You can't make a nice looking UI if the very building blocks you have to build that UI are ugly.
Your argument only makes sense because MoviePass is now gone, but MoviePass didn't design their technology stack planning to go bankrupt.

Ask HN: I think I was just scammed for my card/bank details. What should I do?
Craziest card fraud experience ever.

My citibank debit card was declined for a mailchimp payment which most probably was because I was using it in Denmark on vacation for some transaction so they put a temp hold. No biggie. I call the number (i think) to their support but accidentally do 8007880022 instead of 8007880002. Furthermore i call the 0002 is a TTY so not even the actual number I was supposed to call even if I had done it correctly.

Anyway I get put through to a guy who claims to be for citibank and ask me to first confirm all my information. When I am done with that he asks me to confirm for their voice recognition system both with address, name, email etc and spelling it out too. I am annoyed but I am no suspiccious at all.

Then he gives me a confirmation code and phone number which he claims I should call 800 373 3411.

I do that but end up with some love hotline or something and when I call back that other number (the 0022) it's a different company suddenly.

Now I am confused and I call up citibank and tries to explain this too them. First they claim the number exist and that its fine, then she says its not correct but lifts the ban without actually cancelling the card.

I then have to call fraud department who still don't seem to understand what just happened and don't seem to care that this elaborate things is going on.

I insist that they cancel my card but realize that someone how have my voice spelling out address and say OK and other things (he was very specific that the system needed OK not just Sure)

I fell pretty stupid right now that I didn't recognize this but even more confused about what went wrong and what they can misuse that for and most importantly what to do about it.
I think that's exactly what that person means by superfluous and egregious examples of bad web development; SPAs, javascript frameworks of that nature. :p
Oh snap! this is not a joke.
I think it's more important to say that in most newspapers there is a firewall between journalists and the marketing department. So marketing decisions are, by design, completely separate from the journalism.

Upper management can interfere but usually this is done via the editor and usually only when they really don't want a story to run (e.g. they think it'll bring too much heat or it accuses one of their friends of paedophilia).
> Why do the media keep running stories saying suits are back? Because PR firms tell them to. One of the most surprising things I discovered during my brief business career was the existence of the PR industry, lurking like a huge, quiet submarine beneath the news. Of the stories you read in traditional media that aren't about politics, crimes, or disasters, more than half probably come from PR firms.

All it would take is an extension to the laws protecting video rental records.

With the right changes to how we talk about privacy, we could start treating it like a security issue. Make data sharing a flaw that needs to be corrected.

Electric cars are poor, even counterproductive stand-ins for long term solutions such as public transportation and the elimination of the suburban commuter lifestyle. They hide a multitude of externalities forced on the public and not paid for directly by owners or manufacturers.

Climate change aside, it's not hard to imagine a country as densely populated as Singapore opposing electric cars.

By "consumers" I lean more toward "consuming countries". They should reject or penalize destructive products on behalf of individual consumers, just as they currently do for various product-safety standards.

Perhaps in the same way as CITES for banning trading in endangered species, or the various timber certifications, which are certainly imperfect and "full of holes" but at least a start. I think tech could vastly improve systems of provenance.

As I said, the system itself is at fault (as per your excellent link - thanks) - there will always be consumers wanting the cheapest price regardless, and suppliers willing to offer it, or even encouraging it (and certainly trying to hide the 'regardless' part of the equation).

They must be stopped.

There are a few good things about it compared to git (and a few bad ones). One I like is that it has an excellent GUI that is cross platform, called TortoiseHg. I know hackers can be a bit snobbish about GUIs but I really think a GUI is essential for version control: flicking through the revision graph in one pane while looking at the modified files in another and a file's changes in a third is much more efficient than anything on the command line. And picking source and destination commits for a rebase is much easier visually on the commit graph than making note of hashes on the command line. Plus, at our company we do have a few people who use version control but are a bit less compsci focused.

Related question: does anyone know of a good git GUI that works on Windows and Linux? (Ideally, but not essentially, free.) I tried GitKraken and it failed at the first thing I tried to do with it (I wanted to stage a file I had just created, but it didn't have a way to display untracked files).
