I know, it makes no sense. Just because it takes a few more people, a little more time and just a hair more money to make a movie or TV show compared to a song, doesn't mean there should be complicated distribution contracts that navigate multiple investor and labor interests, and channel through international markets and regulations. I swear, capitalism these days. People need to stop demanding money for making entertainment. Just because they spend time making something doesn't mean they're entitled to be "compensated" for it.
> Odd that these complainers never seem to link to a question of theirs to show us an example.

This feels more like an invitation to start some drama and nitpick pointlessly over an example than to actually reasonably discuss any issues. Like other commenters have mentioned: reasonable people do not keep lists of examples like this, just like reasonable people don't keep "burn books" of every time they've felt slighted.
But all these are things ordinary people might want to bring and might not even be aware are a problem, which is what you asked about. You seem to have a quite limited idea of who an "ordinary traveller" might be.

So make it easy to look up and don't let guesses at what some random country in the world might object to dominate all your travel packing and planning (Guesses because until I checked earlier I wouldn't been sure an apple would cause problems anywhere, but apparently at least Australia objects to any fruit). Which was the point of the comment you replied to.

RPC-over-HTTP passed off as REST is indeed a nuisance but unfortunately that doesn't get rid of the need to support multiple versions of the same API, specially if you don't control which clients are consuming your services.
Performance is not precise enough. Throughput, latency, peak memory consumption. Those characteristics can also vary by workload, as TFA demonstrates.

As far as latency goes the new collectors do perform better in my experience, but you should try and measure.

> Even now, the pirating of PC games is being made more common by the introduction of the Epic Store, which, regardless of your feelings on it, has added friction. Games promised to Steam users are being delayed or going full Epic exclusive and many users are saying "fuck that, we're not getting railroaded into using a launcher we didn't like" and turning to piracy instead.

A lot of people said that about Steam and yet it became what it is today, with many titles that now require Steam (unless you pirate).

Criticism of Amazon
Honestly, I don't really have a problem with subscriptions generally if it's a product that I use regularly. (Modulo "reasonable" pricing of course.) Where I have an issue is when I need a product I rarely use any longer to open an existing file or do some once in a blue moon task.

At some point, software stops working with OS upgrades etc. anyway and I can deal with that. But I don't want to pay a subscription for something I use a couple times of year and don't need the latest version of.
It's generally good, but a couple of notes:

1) It can freeze up for days at a time with no new material.

2) Some articles make heavy references in the text to the images that you cannot see!
Was going to chime in to say the same, the VIM plugin in Intellij is hands-down the best vim emulation I've seen. It takes your vimrc as `.ideavimrc` and fucking works.

Been paying for Intellij for nearly a year now and I don't regret a day of it. Well okay, I do regret the one day EAP was totally broken by the VIM plugin, by besides that it has been brilliant.

Ask HN: How to verify that measures against climate change work?
There are talks about implementing solutions to fight climate change, e.g. raise taxes on fossil fuel, subsidize green energy, etc.

But how an ordinary citizen can verify that the money were well spent? What checks and balances will make sure that the climate is actually improving or stays the same because of implemented measures (!) rather than on its own?

The reason I am asking is because there were examples when people were told one thing and later it turned out the opposite. E.g. one of the declared reasons for switchingh from paper bags to plastic bags was to preserve trees.

Now I can easily imagine how oligarchy and beurocrats will establish a massive money stream out of everyone's pockets "to fight climate change" and then will just show the numbers that benefit them not the actual numbers. How do I, as a citizen, get the actual numbers?
I wrapped my head around the ergodox by realizing that you have to use layers. It's not supposed to map 1:1 with a regular keyboard.

I use a modified version of the default symbol layer that's more programmer friendly (I think) and I put the toggle for this layer under my right index finger. I feel like I'm more accurate now because it's not just my right pinky doing all the symbol work.

seconded, his grad probability classes were some of my favorites a few years ago (also hi!).

Measure theoretic probability significantly influenced how I think about nearly everything today, which is as strong an endorsement of these notes as I can muster.
It's one of those situations where a store front or a friend with the item you're considering helps a lot. My favorite keyboard ever was a Model-M buckling spring keyboard... one year I broke a retainer clip for the spacebar while taking the key caps off to clean it... I decided to toss it, it was probably close to a decade old at that point.

After that for about another decade, I bought a new keyboard each year, often anywhere from $20-50, and it was always disappointing... I'd put up with it for the better part of a year and move on. I'd tried several of the more popular mechanical keyboards, never quite the same.

I then found Unicomp was still making them... though not exactly the same, still really nice imho. I use one of the 103 key models at home. I've since switch to a cherry mx brown das keyboard at work to spare my coworkers the noise. In the end, the $120 or so I spent for a keyboard that's lasted me years is far better than one I've swapped out at least once a year.

I'd probably consider it if I had any signs of RSA or actually liked split keyboards at all. Ironically, moving to a mechanical keyboard with a tactile feel, the RSA symptoms I did have have since gone away. I've still tried several other KBs and styles since then, my only suggestion is stay away from mechanical keyboards under around $80 as they're often knockoff switches that are not as good and don't feel the same.
I always try to find something on a dedicated forum first, then SO, then whatever DDG suggest. Reddit is a last resort, because I suck at reddit. Every time I post something there will be ignorant people who don’t even bother educating themselves, take their “best” shot at you. On more opinionated subs like political subs, those ignorants are well represented on both sides. On the niche tech subs, I also feel like you have to agree with the ongoing mentality of the Sub’s running “cultist” majority.

By "latency" do you mean "how long an Elasticsearch query takes to return results"? Or do you mean "how long the GC pauses the application for"? I suppose they are related, to some extent, but it's probably the ES search query time we'd be interested in improving.

Nowadays I can't even go to news websites so I get my news primarily from HN, Twitter, or Reddit, where news is condensed and I rarely get to see the other point of view (in other words, good journalism).

Obviously I understand they need to make money, but at the same time most of the news articles even posted to HN have some limit to reading (even with JS blocked). Maybe a student pass would be good for students like me. I don't think I'll have a problem paying for them... but then I'll have to manage each of these subscription.

It would be nice to have a Netflix for news (to pay for all news subscriptions in one go).

The article already mentions that.
> cap gains, real estate taxes. Do those fall under flat tax?

Depends on implementation I suppose. The example given is just a simple illustration that a regressive looking and progressive looking scheme could have the same payouts in theory, they just seem different on the surface.

> if I'm paying for a 20% flat tax, I couldn't be persuaded by future demagogue that my measly $1k/mo isn't worth it if I'm say, paying more in taxes than the $12k annual?

If you can afford to spend $120k a year on luxury consumables (assuming 100% VAT passthrough) then you're probably savvy enough to figure that out without the demagogue. But there aren't a lot of people with that kind of money.

They call them seasons of life and you are in a season, I was there, I have 4 children and had two in diapers. I could not see past the next day sometimes. But it does get better, when they cross the 7 year old threshold they become a lot more independent. When they cross the 10 year threshold you hit another season where they pretty much take care of themselves. When they hit teens your involvement becomes nothing more than soft guidance. They are focused on their friends and building their social skills. They still like you but they start to exert some of their first steps into adulthood. You will move thru these seasons and they all have the good with the bad. But I remember the stress of little-ones. I remember seeing the youngest swim for the first time, and I realized right then and there that I felt like I caught my breath for the first time in years. I lost a nephew to a pool drowning so it was one of my big stresses when they where that little.
>the specific move is forced, rather than just being forced to make some move

Thinking about this gives me headaches;-) From a language perspective I think it could be interpreted both ways, a specific move or any move. The reason I chose the latter explanation is that it fit's with the real meaning of the word:

> one player is put at a disadvantage because they must make a move when they would prefer to pass and not move.[1]

The point is that the player is at a disadvantage because they have to move at all and not because they are forced to make a specific move.

You should apply a rule similar to 3-2-1:

3 copies of the data

2 copies on different storage mediums

1 backup in a separate location.

Ideally, a backup solution on the OS would target the browser profile itself at regular intervals, and you could allow the user to export the data into a file that can be downloaded by the browser (or copy/pasted).

It should be obvious that any form of browser storage is unreliable, and MUST be treated as such, and it should be EXPECTED to be deleted at a moments notice - setting such expectations encourages good practice at backing up your data incase of a failure.

Don't rely on others to ensure business critical data is stored and accessible - that's partially on the users/application to offer what they can.
The problem with "eugenics" isn't that it's morally wrong, it's that it's just wrong. He Jiankui screwed up royally and endangered the life of two girls without even giving them immunity to AIDS. If there was a safe way to do "eugenics" without detrimental and unintended effects such as causing cancer due to CRISPR side effects or disrupting hitherto unknown metabolic pathways, believe me we wouldn't have waited for China. In fact, in many countries rudimentary forms of "eugenics" already exist - e.g. you're allowed to abort your fetus if it is found to have an extra chromosome.

As for "intelligence" selecting for IQ points doesn't make sense. There's little reason to beleive g is anything but an artifact from factor analysis that's completely unsupported by any neurological data or known causal genetic mechanisms, and in fact a g-like measure can be proven to exist for any set of variables that positively correlate with each other regardless of existing causal links among them. The non-additive interactions with the environment are also just too high. Selecting for IQ would just result in random artificial genome drift (beyond the first obvious gains from developmental defects etc. but we sort of already do this).

I think there's a real disconnect between how HN techies think about genetics and biology and the actual state of the art - it's much less grandiose than they think. Science is generally boring.

Why lower productivity? The person who created it thinks it will lower RSI therefor increase productivity.
It's not just about improving the bandwidth (although that is nice), the one thing I wouldn't trade that the Ergodox gives me is a very low error rate in typing. This is hard to achieve with a traditional keyboard, especially when you starting throwing special characters into the mix that require two-handed contortions.

I've heard the refrain "you don't spend most of your time typing when programming" so many times it's almost become a trope. I personally spend enough time typing during a typical day (working or otherwise) that I really appreciate the benefits of a highly optimised keyboard setup, although of course YMMV. I don't think the argument holds water.
If they've done it to you, it's very possible they've done/do it to others. You should post your story. JetBrains is not a little operation and should to be held to account if they've done what you've said.
How we used these words 20 years ago, when server logs were cool:

Uniques are visitors not pageviews. Hits, page views, and sessions are decreasingly granular content stats, not people stats. Visits and visitors are people stats. Sessions tend to be the matrix of page views (containing multiple hits) per visitor visit.
No, the test is more than that. The preallocated objects matter because they are pathologic cases for certain GC operations. Large allocations compound this further.

I guess CMS manages to perform fine here because it can flexibly resize the young generation and isn't region-based while G1 has special optimizations for what they call humongous allocations.

It's a test that checks how collectors perform under two combined deviations from the assumptions for which they're optimized (i.e. that object graphs have a high branching level that allows parallelization, short-lived objects are small on average)
Apparently you don't actually need to print "Rock or Spock" although it sounded like that's a requirement.
What a zinger at the end. Point well-made. :)
Note To Future Self:

There's an interesting Physics question posed here, which looks something like this:

If resonant waves, in this case of sound, can cause particles of different sizes to move towards the nodes or anti-nodes of standing waves, then if we consider a completely different area of physics, that is, the case of electroplating metals with electricity, that is, we have an electrode of metal A (for example, Copper), and an electrode of metal B (for example, Gold), in some electrolyte, for example, salt water, then does the electroplating procedure (via electricity) mimic what's happening to the microplastics in water, via sound waves, but just at a smaller wave scale?

In other words, maybe electricity does the same thing as what happens to the sound/microplastics -- but the electricity is a wave which is much faster in frequency, and much smaller?

Now, there's another aspect of all of this too. See, if we can get conglomeration or dissipation of microplastics via the use of sound, then perhaps this mimics the creation or destruction of matter (well, let's say 'particles' at this point, "smaller pieces of matter"), that is, the "clumps" of less rarified/more dense substances inside of more rarified/less dense substances...

Anyway, the principle at work here might be the starting point for Star Trek's food replicator... maybe this is Star Trek's Food Replicator version 0.000000001 (just applied to plastic particles in water, not food/matter particles from air, obviously... <g>)

Note: I don't claim any correctness in the ideas presented above; merely that more experimentation/research might need to be done... see the "Note To Future" self part...<g>
This is a very good question and it did in fact occur to me when I was designing the keyboard layout. Partly due to this concern I stuck with a QWERTY layout for alphabetic characters, so I'd at least retain some familiarity with traditional keyboards. Besides that, I'm typing on my laptop right now and often plug in a traditional keyboard if I'm gaming, so I haven't found lack of familiarity with a traditional keyboard a problem.
> Am I the only one who doesn't quite fancy mechanical keys?

No, it's not just you. I prefer short-throw laptop keys, which require less distance and less pressure.

I use a USB version of the ThinkPad keyboard at my desk. (And I personally prefer the older version that includes a trackpad.)
I get your point but there are few alternatives. Python and Julia aren't there yet. (And if they were, they would end up in the same place.) Anything else lacks the variety of packages and isn't really useful for interactive use. You must not forget, R is a tool for statisticians (and one of their presumably modern incarnations) written mostly by statisticians. Useless, error-prone packages will be weeded out sooner or later. The useful ones will improve as time goes by.

I don't know a single package that exposes global variables. I only know packages that expose certain functions and provide some configuration via options. In R, there are no really private variables though. If you want, you can access anything you want. Since everthing is packaged in its own environment, I don't see that as a problem though since the global namespace doesn't get polluted. It won't make people with a background in one of the more modern OOP languages happy but that's probably not that important.
IMO it’s a no-brainer to pay $20 a month for PHPStorm. I easily save $20 a day in time through the easy class/use resolution, function parameter display and the semantic “spell” checking that highlights missing braces, semicolons, etc. And then there’s the whole xdebug works over ssh tunnels thing I couldn’t ever get to work with vscode + plugin.

This differs from one man to the next, as well as by specialty. Some people work better by typing out code quickly, permuting it several different ways, and coming up with a final revision. On the other hand, I sometimes spend ten minutes staring at my screen, then bang out ten lines of code that get something _just right_. However, someone who's more devops/sysadmin focused might type more, as he's piping lots of tools together to filter the output of something, at least from my experience.
