I'd go back to Debian and their stale packages if only they had scheduled releases like Ubuntu has. Imagine Debian 19.10, 20.04 and so on, with Long Time Support on the .04 releases every other year. What a bliss.
> And I also know a lot of people who had burnouts - while working in conditions that seemed... very good and not stressful.

Yeah, it is always other people who seem to have great working conditions. It is strange that other people even get stress.

The book "Bullshit Jobs" sings a different narrative, and these are seemingly everywhere. Real estate agent, is one of these (FIRE sector).
Even with a majority, you've got some percentage having to deal with what the majority wants, which is a heavy dose of irony if the point of the CoC is blanket inclusion in the first place. The conclusion is that inclusion itself excludes those who don't like inclusion, and excluding that group is warranted, isn't it?
Fever dreams is how they operate. They portray their outgroup as Saturday morning cartoon villains and then they start digging mass graves.

Pytester: If you're in the Bay Area, please get lunch with me. You are insanely bigoted and hateful against conservatives. Have you talked to a real conservative in the last five years? I have never seen such hate-filled tripe on HN.
So... you’ve made a bunch of choices about what to do and for how much many and then how to spend the huge amount of money that you subsequently get to decide how to spend, and mathematically speaking you cannot spend all of that money on all of those things and simultaneously buy a $100 pair of pants.

That can easily be true, but it’s so ludicrously far from what normal people mean when they say that they “can’t afford McDonald’s for breakfast” that I think it drives the point home pretty well.

You aren’t poor because you already spent your allowance.

The fact that people in the upper echelons of the global upper echelons of financial resources don’t “feel rich” because we have to make “financial decisions” only when we’ve already spent all of the rest of our money is exactly the problem.

This isn’t, like, an upper-class character flaw. There’s some kind of normal human scale insensitivity that makes it really hard to understand how much a dollar is worth to someone else.

But it seems like if you do the math, you should acknowledge that you genuinely are one of the people getting paid off by the pyramid scheme. If you still feel constrained in your options, it’s because everyone at every level feels that way, because the whole system is lubricated from top to bottom by a pervasive sense of personal insufficiency. And actual poverty is still a lot worse.
Well, in this case people should have been using Debian Testing instead of Stable.

But yeah it's often that people don't understand what's Debian stable and its trade offs compared to Testing and end up unhappy with it or switching to Ubuntu (which is ~very~ similar to Debian Testing).

Before you comment about the judge getting it wrong, do your due diligence and at least get familiar with the plain text of the law.

In Iowa, "death" is defined in Iowa Code §702.8 as "an irreversible cessation of spontaneous
respiratory and circulatory functions".

It says "irreversible" right off the bat. IANAL but legally speaking this is an easy and uncontroversial case.
Diacritics are usually stripped in air travel. In Hungarian we have many letters with diacritics, but it is never a problem that the passport has them and the system doesn't.
Dawson Whitfield, CEO and co-founder of Looka, told BetaKit that it was this decision to rebrand and move into new verticals that led Looka to financial difficulties and layoffs. “Rebrand, they said. It’ll be great, they said,” Whitfield lamented.

This guy is the CEO. What is he talking about with all this “they said” stuff? He’s the one responsible for this rebranding decision. But he is acting like it was forced on him, or like it is the fault of some advisor.

As the CEO you have to take responsibility. The problem isn’t that “they said” to rebrand. The problem is that you decided to rebrand. Be honest with yourself so that hopefully you don’t make a decision this bad again.
> A small wealth tax is a good start.

They always start out small, and targeted only to the top x%. Then politicians realize it's easier to tweak the rules and make it apply to just a few more people than it would be to create a whole new tax. Introducing a small wealth tax is the start of a whole new class of taxes. See the history of income tax from a limited wartime thing to a huge a percentage of government revenue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_tax_in_the_United_State...

I would argue that instead of a wealth tax, a more sensible option would be to look at all the sources of income for very wealthy people that are treated differently than earned income. For example, capital gains tax rates, tax shelters in real estate, and other ways to get around normal tax rates.
Well, it's because of a challenge. It's in the human nature to live for challenges and so happens for example for many sports and science achievements.

> I don't want to trust random people on a forum to provide a build of an OS without including malware

Why is it some communities still work like this? With Android dev, sometimes there's even some source on GitHub, but still a forum post is the main place to find the latest version, with the actual download from some questionable-looking download site. If you're lucky they include sha hashes at least.

I've installed a handful of custom ROMs on 3 or 4 devices - most recently resurrecting my old TF101 to run modern Firefox - but I don't think I've ever seen anything like an automated build for one of these. Really, many don't even post source code.

Is there anyone doing this type of Android dev in a "modern" best practices way like most other open source (public git, CI, maybe issue tracker and pull requests)? Why doesn't this catch on more?
If you switch your housing over to a nice hotel, you will at least get a free breakfast every morning.
I don't think mortgaging was a relevant consideration at the time.
Yes you can, reality is complex.

What you think of a paradox is actually not a paradox but a chain of events so complex that we as the humans struggle to describe it.
It may be unclear which is cause and which is effect, but I think of cars. Honda has been selling the Civic for ~47 years and Toyota the Corolla for ~53. Even Hyundai, which has not always had the best reputation, has had the Elantra for almost 30 years. American manufacturers keep switching the names of their small cars and it looks like they may be giving up on them entirely.
Any time I watch a fool weave through traffic on the highway I think about how after all that risk of murdering other people's children, they get maybe one extra YouTube video in the day.

And often not even that. I find a sick amount of satisfaction when I get to coast up to one of these maniacs who sped into traffic and just sit right on their bumper.
If you think that say Ted Cruz has any respect for his Hispanic voters (just see the game he plays with Beto's nickname) you're only kidding yourself
Debian has been doing a stable release every two years since 14 years now. If you want the equivalent of a non-LTS Ubuntu release, you should use Debian Testing (besides the naming, it's pretty stable)
Ask HN: How Is the job scene for Software Engineers in Florida?
I am having a hard time following this, because you're not engaging with the point Hossenfelder makes, but with one she doesn't. In fact, you're trying to rebut her by agreeing with her.

She's not against mathematical modeling and hypothesizing -- quite the opposite. She's in favor of mathematical modeling of the kind that has worked so far -- as you acknowledge -- and from which physicists have strayed, at least according to her. She is for hypothesizing microorganisms and that is why she's against current hypotheses. She's against the latter because the former is works, and the latter is different.

Her point, as I understand it, is as follows. Theory and experimentation have worked hand in hand when there was a certain balance between them. But the cost, and therefore the nature of experimentation has changed, and, as a result, if theory wants to work as it has in the past, it must change as well in order to maintain this mutually-beneficial balance. In particular, she's talking about recognizing more or less promising hypotheses based on this balance. But even if she doesn't offer what you see as a solution, the lack of a solution does not imply the lack of a problem, and recognizing the problem is usually a good first step.

Pointing out that theory has worked in the past is agreeing with her, not disagreeing with her. If you actually disagree with her, are you saying that the nature of experimentation has not changed and therefore theory should not change? Are you saying that theory has already changed to maintain the balance? Or are you saying that the balance is not important? Because in order to disagree with her -- which I think is what you're trying to do -- you need to argue one of these.

And by the way, the existence of microorganisms was experimentally verified, and in many experiments, well before -- or separately from -- direct observation. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germ_theory_of_disease)
You can actually permabrick the hardware with a non-compatible or buggy flashed OS. It's an embedded device, so the Linux kernel has access to a lot of stuff that it wouldn't, e.g. on an ordinary PC.

if i had to guess (and it's a huge guess), it's because HN is mostly americans, and american politics are like sports -- if you like one side, you don't like the other.

which translates to this kind of black and white rhetoric.

it also doesn't help that since the 2016 elections, everything became even more polarized. nowadays, if you vote D and say you like some R policy, people will churn you (and this is valid the other way around too).
If that means that they can no longer represent reality, then that's a bug. "We've gone 50 years without actually updating our systems to fix problems" is a less-than-impressive response.

> This would have to be a collaborative work by different distros

I think there was a misunderstanding between us. I didn't mean anything so complicated.

By "moving that logic to the packaging system", all I meant is that instead of using a script to detect whether your app is being installed on Ubuntu or Fedora or whatever, you should just build and publish separate packages for each distro you wish to support. The logic for selecting the right package for itself is already built into every packaging system, ready for anyone to use.

Hopefully the process of building a dozen packages with each release can be easily automated once it is set up.
I'm pretty sure that all of those views were censored because they were immoral according to the dominant ideology of the day, and in every case it would have been argued that this time the censorship was good because the dominant ideology was good, whereas previous instances of censorship were bad.

How would someone in the USSR know that censorship of opponents of Lysenkoism was bad? As far as they were concerned, the people being censored were evil counter-revolutionaries of whom nothing good could come.
This development is actually terrifying. If socialism has no home on the left, we'll see it rise on the right, with nationalist tones.
This comment took a turn in your last paragraph in a way that genuinely fascinates me since it was otherwise very logical. So you would write laws around the idea of things that have never been shown to be physically possible, just because you believe them to be possible?

How far would you take this? Should we bring back laws against witchcraft? Should other religions get to define their own laws based on what they expect to be possible, or just Christianity?

And if such a law is tested in court, how should we prove that it was divine? Maybe this case of the prisoners heart starting again was really God intervening, why should it not trigger your proposed God clause?
Do you consider efficient use of battery to be a dimension of “performance”? I do.
Weighting is certainly a difficult exercise. Even for engineers where the problems are more concrete, it often relies on building some sort of shared vision that is used to infer a future prediction. In fact most of the disagreements I see is when two engineers have a different view of the future. For sure, both quantitative and qualitative approaches are necessary to build a proper model.

Anyways, my point was that by looking at every argument by first placing it on a left vs right scale removes the interesting nuances that could be discussed. I don't know that the engineering approach is necessarily the best tool to solve social inequalities as this is not my topic at all.
Yep. I'm an expat in the Netherlands and I've never seen a more relaxed working environment. It's great, and I have great respect for the Dutch for how they look after their well being, the beauty of their cities and their nature.

On the other hand, I have a feeling that most of the jobs here are proper bullshit jobs: from office jobs, where you'll find deluges of junior designers and copywriters and customer journey experts; to cafes, where 4 waiters are hardly doing the work of one; to supermarkets where there seem to be constantly more employees moving stuff around than customers.

Obviously there is a lot of money in the country. I wonder what will happen in case of a downturn: I have a feeling that if the money stops flowing, a lot of people will discover that their jobs weren't necessary at all.
I focus to do always 8.00-16.00 or 7.30-15.30. doing more than 8 hours a days is bad for you and your employer anyway..

Actually I would prefer to work 6 hours a day for 5 days or 4 days for 8 hours, so I can have more time for me and my interests

Well they are going to spend that money on something. Investing it in the US economy seems like just about the best place for it to go. I wish all fortunes held by dubious foreign entities just got sent to the American stock market.

Twitter is a public company, it seems pretty unlikely that Saudi investment and Saudi spies getting hired by Twitter are related.
Thanks for "naive and deluded". That's a strong thing to say, especially in response to a comment whose subtleties you don't appear to be trying to understand.

By "some", I mean that I do not think you are correct to assert predetermination or double predestination, and those are both parts of your assertion, so whatever truth ought to be taken from it by your reader, it's partial and nuanced.

Since you say you don't believe in double predestination either, it appears you agree with me on that.

If you believe in "simply put everything is predetermined", while not believing in double predestination and wanting people to choose a different future, I would say that is an extremely subtle and nuanced view you have there, that many would call contradictory.

Boiled down, I think you are saying it's wrong to believe anyone had a choice, and you want people to make a choice. Which really sounds contradictory on the face of it.

I'm not judging your ideas, and my intuition says I agree with your underlying thinking, and with your moral/ethical compass on this point, although the communication is pretty screwy.

Or self-host. Linode VPS: $5/mo and for that I can host E-mail, a light duty web server, and other various odds and ends. I don't have to worry about some random algorithmic account suspension removing access to my E-mail (and all of my online accounts, since they use my E-mail address for verification). And I don't have to worry about some random algorithmic process determining what E-mails I receive and which ones get silently dropped into a black hole. So far no problems with misconfiguration or other providers dropping my mail--while it probably happens, I think the risk of that is overblown if you configure SPF, DKIM, and so on correctly.
Is “yes” an unreasonable answer? They’re certainly not part of the stereotype, but neither is an IC tech worker, and I’d expect a retired person living off their investments would be pretty aligned with blue bloods on political and economic issues. Certainly they’d be opposed to any policy that’ll tank the value of their portfolio.
It's actually that they aren't special. With gametes the body cares about making sure things work out well, and you only need the one embryonic stem cell to be issue free (discarding any with mutations) to create a new healthy human. With the somatic cells though you just need one (oversimplifying massively here of course) cell to become cancerous to kill the person, and the DNA repair mechanisms become more likely to fail throughout life
I mean, it is true that a walk out in the wind (say on a beach or wide open nature) can be enjoyable, and you feel refreshed when you go inside again afterwards.

And we do sometimes set out to go for a walk in windy conditions -- because the alternative is to stay inside during all of autumn.

I just don't believe that's an especially Dutch thing.

Be careful:

By hosting your main email on a custom domain(not a provider) you open a new attack vector for identity theft.

Someone can hijack your godaddy/namecheap/gandi account and point the MX DNS records of the domain to their own server and receive all your "Forgot your password? here is the link to reset!" emails

This a very bad advice unless you actually know what are the risks.

> Nonsense! The actual Dutch cure for stress is to claim you have "burnout" (they use the English word), and then take 6 months off work while being paid 80% of your salary.

Which does not work very well if you don't earn much. Expats who come to The Netherlands generally earn a lot. If you earn a lot, you'll easier work hard. It is much easier, as your downtime (leisure time) involves less stress.

The whole system where you could work a while and then go "uitkering trekken" got on retour after it was indeed abused in the 70s/80s. It is extremely tricky to have a fair system without false positives and false negatives. Slowly but surely, the right wing governments have indeed drawn your narrative which hurt those who are in need.

> There seems zero social or professional stigma about it.

As my (Dutch) partner had a burnout, and I witnessed this first-hand, this statement quite frankly angers me. There absolutely is social stigma and professional stigma around burnout. Nobody, in fact, understood her. They all thought she "had to man up", including her best friends, her mother, her sister, etc.

You know what causes stress? Emotional overload from work. Working in the night instead of the day. Being bullied. Being poor (including inkomensnivellering).

The thing is, that in your country, when people fail they are just regarded as weak or "not trying hard enough" (queue American Dream). No empathy, whatsoever. Here it is called for what it is: burnout.
> the Wright brothers waged a prolonged, embarrassing and largely unsuccessful battle against other early aviators over who owned the aeronautical principles that made flight possible

Whose to say this wasn't at least partially the reason the Wright brothers are cemented in history? I'd argue that their names being attached to so much litigation strengthened the "Wright Brothers invented flight" association in the minds of historians (which may have even been their actual end-goal with all this).
> But I know most of them are probably innocent and goood people.

That's really only true of those whose wealth is entirely inherited.

Anyone who made it to the economic top by owning a company in this day and age is statistically nearly certain to have done so by shamelessly exploiting the labor of his workers, for instance.
