Speaking of RSS feed links, shame on Apple for hijacking feed links on iOS. They open Apple News but just generate a dialog that says "This content is not available on Apple News"
> I'm not one for history; so the moral implication of not having a physical-feature-group of humanity around, be it freckles, blue eyes, brown hair, light skinned, tall people or whatever, is entirely lost on me.

It might be worth reconsidering that viewpoint. As you say, we're good at hate. We've been good at it, too.

We've seen that something as simple as preferring male children to female children has dramatic societal consequences. It might be reasonable to decide you want to bias your child against being left-handed — lefties do have higher rates of accidents due to using right-handed tools after all. What might the societal shifts be as a result? Might we effectively loose some diversity of _thought_ and progress in our society at large? How might remaining lefties be perceived?

A bit of that is that RSS simply doesn't have great character support. You have to escape a whole bunch of stuff that is useful to have in the final product - because for most users the RSS is a notification feed, not the endpoint they go to.
That's not how diversity success metrics are reported though. It's said to be a travesty if half the number of women as men choose a STEM major
I don’t think this is true. It just depends on what your requirements are. If you use monorepos anywhere Yarn is a better default everywhere so you use its cache. PnP should solve one more huge problem in the near future too.
Excellent talk. I can't wait for this phone (Librem 5) to be available. Only wish the specs were slightly better (higher screen rez for ex). But the privacy and security features more than make up for that.
You're making my point. It's not a matter of "fairness", as the OP was suggesting. It's a matter of market custom. There is no natural law that says that royalty-based payment systems for "intellectual property" work are required. It's a custom.

I wonder if it's also because reading content on an RSS reader doesn't generally allow ads and tracking to be added.
Not to be rude to you or fellow HN users, but between a comment on HN and "modern 'medical wisdom'" I think I'll choose the latter every time, just on the basis that a comment on HN is not as likely to be correct as "modern 'medical wisdom'".

Also, just as a bit of pattern matching that may be completely off, but I haven't heard the most accurate things from people who challenge medical wisdom with scare quotes. Doctors study those things for a living. I don't know why people think they know best because they can read ncbi.gov.

But- I'll listen more carefully if the person commenting is a doctor who works with patients day-in, day-out. That kind of experience still counts for something, flawed as subjective judgements may be.

Yes, local framing shops can make things in any size you want, it's what they do. And usually fairly reasonable, certainly less than the cost of international shipping.

But when I wrote that comment I actually did think that backing up emails would be universally agreed to be morally fine. It's just so tame in comparison to acts of the pirates who get idolized for building silicon valley.

Unpalatable news? UK faces pallet crisis if there is no-deal Brexit
I know there are some people disproving parts of Malcolm Gladwell's theories, but sometime in the last year or two it occurred to me that one of the consequences of the 10,000 hours theory is that you actually have time to get expert-level good at three or four things in your life even if you spent part of it 'fucking around'.

I've expanded that into a philosophy about 'Software eats the world": the only way that doesn't end up in a dystopian hellscape is if Software Developers go out and meet the World. Dive into hobbies. Get good enough at them to be a Product Owner. Make software that supports that hobby.

You'll also have something to talk to people about at parties other than what you do for a living.

I have been writing Elm for 5 years now. I work at Humio, where our front end is 100k lines of Elm code.

What would you like to know? I love Elm. I'm absolutely hooked. I don't want to go back to doing Frontend work in JS, and I hope one day there can be an Elm-like experience for backend development as well.

Just off the top of my head a few bits of what I like about Elm:
- You can actually write code, have no errors, and then move on, and never return to the project again. When I was doing JS, everyone I knew just took it for granted that you would be maintaining everything you ever wrote for the rest of your career. Not with Elm! You can actually finish projects and never return to them.
- Its a simple and small language that is designed to interact with human beings. The compiler really talks to you instead of spitting out error codes or spaghetti. Apis and variables have human readable names instead of mathy terms of symbols.
- For everything theres one way of doing things and the one way is usually really good. This strong consensus orientation of the Elm community means everyone is speaking the same language about every problem.

Gotta go, bye.

I think he doesn't know how the automatic discovery of RSS feeds works, and just looks for a visual link to one.

Like you said, he missed a lot of them, and isn't linking to his own feed properly on his site so that RSS readers can find it (with rel="alternate" and/or type="application/rss+xml").
>Are there any differences between a KV-store in the form of "Bob:Knows" — "John" and a triple store in the form of "Bob" — "Knows" — "John"? Redis, for example, can query the first one easily by scanning.

A triple store can more quickly answer queries about triples. The reason to use triples is that it is what you naturally get when you try to store structured relational data where the schema changes quickly.
If you read through Autonomy by Lawrence Burns, the author states that Levandowski felt the project was losing focus & getting too bloated, and wanted to disrupt it with a Team Macintosh style parallel project that he would head.

It could've just been part of the big ego'd power struggle that occurred on the project and saw the exit of many early stage employees, but I also wonder if he had a point, looking back today at the stages the project went through. It's hard not to feel like they thought they were close to launch, only to hit some roadblocks and need to rebuild major chunks of it. Speculation. But they're a huge company with a product that is at risk of getting usurped at this point.
No, its not like that. Dense, walkable cities create demand, chemotherapy doesn't create cancer. If LA were to create an ultra-dense core tomorrow, more people and companies would relocate there, bringing rents right back to the level they are now, probably higher. The only people losing out would be existing low-income people who got displaced.

I was more 'numb' and going with 'the flow'...doing what my wife wanted..cause I really didn't want/care about anything. Life was just a surreal numbness, so why not just let her be happy if I couldn't be... But now I find joy in so many things, I get angry as fuck when I see someone on tv hurting a little child in a movie or on the news, I have new dad emotions I never knew existed.

I cry whenever I hear the song Fade in / Fade out, because I know someday I'll cease to exist and my kids will go on without me, and I worry about how they will do, or what I'll miss... I also traded depression in for 24/7 anxiety about whether or not the kids are going to find a way to kill themselves that I haven't thought about. The other day my 2 year old came out of his room with a belt wrapped around his neck... scared the shit out of me. It was hung up but apparently he climbed on something to get it down...

I'm not numb and disassociated anymore. I enjoy the now, and live for the small moments. Everyone is selfish. Even mother theresa --nobody does good works without expecting something in return. Is it selfish to have kids? I don't think so. Do dogs and cats have selfish tendencies then? What about all other animals? If so then it's just natural to be selfish and I'm just being 'natural'.

My main point was until you're a father you'll never experience the whole gamut of life's experiences and will miss out on something amazing -- getting to relive your childhood through your kids. Not to mention children tend to keep you younger longer, mine will be graduating when I'm almost 60.
>Why should anyone attempt to intentionally manipulate the ethnic backgrounds of college students?

Higher education - particularly for elite and Ivy League universities - is best understood more as a finishing school for acculturating youths into upper-middle and upper classes. By admitting a more balanced distribution of ethnic minorities, it allows these institutions to retain the perception of legitimacy for bestowing class status on graduates, rather that being seen as captured by the parents of the class the institution bestows.
I was utterly confused by trigonometry in junior high, it seemed to be some kind of secret language I had missed the sacred initiation rites into. And everyone seemed to treat it as exactly that--meaningless esoterica.

And then one day someone explained the high-level point to me: "Of the six quantities of a triangle (three angles and three sides), given any three of them, at least one of which is a side, the other three are automatically nailed down." Suddenly a switch was flipped. After that, the rest is just details that write themselves.

Back in the day, a woman on my dorm floor would check a different box every quarter during registration, just to see what would happen. The main thing that would happen is that one quarter she would get a lot of mailings from the black student organization, and the next quarter a lot of mailings from the Asian student association.

Of course, on an admissions form, a whole different machine kicks in. I think falsifying your admissions form would have consequences.

1. around half of US population (and even bigger share purchasing/consuming capacity wise) live on a coast not far from a major port.

2. container ship is 10g/tonne-km of CO2, ground truck 60g/tonne-km of CO2

3. Shanghai to LA - 10000km, Shanghai to New York - 17000km

So, it is simple math that container delivery from Shanghai plus 100-200km or even more of truck delivery from the port beats any cross-US truck delivery (for the US West it beats even half-cross-US truck delivery). Of course when it comes to the math vs. ideological politics - last season of Veep was brilliant about it :)

I think it's just a scenario where once you are in the big leagues that becomes the group you compare yourself to. I don't think about the kind of comp c-suite people get besides sometimes just being boggled by the concept. But if I was making that kind of money I'm sure I'd be seeing other people making a bit more and trying to get there just the same.

But yeah I think that I would have the common sense to just bow out with just a few years of that comp and be happy, but the fact that I would be satisfied by that probably means I wouldn't go to the lengths that people like that go to get there in the first place.

And that includes the kind of psychotic back stabbing and self promotion, but also all the hard work required as well.

This is an absolutely horrible argument, housing (namely multifamily housing) doesn't apply the same rules of economies of scale that other consumer durables do both due to natural capital costs and the inability to prefabricate huge parts of the building process (You cannot prefab the giant ditch you need to fill with concrete down to the bedrock that takes 100s of thousands of man hours to build).

The only viable solution to reduce the cost of housing is prefabricated, but moderately sized apartments/multi-family homes. The way you get this is not by unilaterally removing regulation, but by getting rid of local regulation in favor of national regulation.
The problem here is your misunderstanding that the store is a problem: Many drivers and Windows features are now available via the Store (Here's the Intel Graphics Control Panel: https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9NDLCLMMTMRC), and this will continue over time. Literally Notepad is transitioning to distributing via the store next year. I think even Apple transitioned to recommending the Store-based install of iTunes on Windows.

Cortana is being phased out of Windows 10 into a separate app, and eventually a replaceable component. Enterprise should install without any games/ads AFAIK.
RSS is rarely shown to end-users any more, but I know a lot of people who use tools like ITTT to push their RSS feed to Twitter automatically, and services like iTunes use RSS to import podcasts into their walled gardens. RSS is not dead; it's just become invisible infrastructure.
Just as a note, twice now you've said the word "generally" and provided the same link, one person's blog representing his own opinion. That's not what the word "generally" means.

You can say "one person has the opinion that Yarn is not required anymore". But saying "generally" means it's common knowledge and most people would agree with that opinion. That doesn't seem to be the case here.
You can start small to increase density and go from there.

Low-income people are often the best people to revitalize and area because they don't really have many other options. So the city could take a few blocks of underdeveloped space and have it redeveloped as cheap housing with no parking at all and maybe some nearby retail/office space. People will figure out ways to get around without a car because they have a huge financial incentive to do so.

We've seen this work before. Often times low-income neighborhoods slowly revitalize as people move in because the cost savings is worth dealing with the negative aspects of the neighborhood.

One criticism of "Everything will balance itself out by itself thinking" is that it leads to exploited people. Regulations are one of the tools intended to prevent such things. Nothing is perfect. But the result is we end up arguing about "I pay too much for this" where we would have been arguing about "This guy died making this" if the regulation did not exist.

I think the name is, technically, cURL. I love cURL and use it all the time. We send our customers cURL one-liner examples of how to test our authentication service which requires POST requests, and it just makes their lives and our lives that much simpler. They can test their stuff very quickly and easily, then ultimately it gets folded into their own services, all debugged and ready to go.
I am with pitaj here, intellectual property is fundamentally wrong, but this is a good example of something that I'm not sure would work under no copyright. "Pay what you want" is one way, though I don't have any statistics on if that collects enough money. Another could be selling signed copies or otherwise making some copies exclusive in a way that copying them nullifies. Pay what you want + signed copies + patreon style donations might be enough?

I don't have a good answer to this. I would therefore suggest decreasing the duration of copyright to somewhere around 5-10 years to give the copyright holder time to sell the work with exclusive rights, after which the work enters public domain (like copyright was initially intended to work).

RSS isn't dead.

Smart bloggers will always expose an RSS feed, because readers following your RSS feed are more likely to read your blog than traffic from other sources. Having an RSS feed is the slightly weaker version of the mailing lists. Mail which is also going strong — and the easiest way to build a mailing list btw, is to connect your RSS feed to Mailchimp.

And RSS feeds are mandatory for podcasts too.

Some blogs choose not to expose RSS feeds of course, but they do so at their own loss. This is because some people are not interested in expanding their audience, they just want to publish some stuff from time to time. And that's totally fine.

> Plus it's difficult to monetize an RSS feed.

An RSS feed can include just summaries that redirect users to your website. And I actually prefer summaries because I don't want to mess with CSS stuff.

Of course you can monetize it, from where did you get the impression that you can't?
