That's my fault. I copied the title from /r/programming.

Would be nice if a mod could fix the title.
Wasn't the quote, what I cannot explain I do not understand?
> There are many examples where feminism has made a positive impact without "denying the truth".

I agree with this. I don't deny the benefits of feminism to women and society in general. I don't deny the historical oppression of women. I do claim that the methods they used to achieve their egalitarian ends were not always clean. This is one example.

> In any movement you can find people with extreme opinions and then use that to discredit an entire group.

Yes. Radicals are so toxic they've been weaponized: having agents infiltrate and radicalize a movement is an excellent way to get it discredited. Union busters have done this. Leaders need to be aware of this move and prevent radical elements from having any influence.

You say people shouldn't discredit the entire movement. Well, I didn't see the other members protest against the vocal minority that openly and directly attacks others on social media. Were they okay with it? Who knows. To the people watching the events unfold, it sure looks like they're okay with it.

The gains from engineering human capital are so large they will be plucked. Screaming “eugenics” is not going to change that. One slur does not an argument make.

Gains of several standard deviations in mental traits, including intelligence, are looking very plausible with minimal technological progress. We are well past the speculative phase.

As we live in a competitive technological landscape and China, Korea and India do not share our taboos against genetic enhancement, we will be forced to embrace this, too.

Tar and feathering human enhancement as “eugenics” worked when human enhancement was not possible. We no longer live in that world. The signal is no longer cheap. Whatever nations fail to embrace embryo selection, iterated embryo selection, and eventually genetic engineering for intelligence will find themselves as children, competing in a technological landscape they are too dull to understand.

Like Lysenkoism of old, our modern mental Lysenkoism will become unsustainable. We would be wise to discard it now.
> are you optimizing for the right thing here?

There isn't one loss function for all people.

You've found joy in the narrative of "I just adapt and never customize ... [I can function well in my org] with little issue". Someone with a different set of constraints and preferences won't find that narrative as enjoyable.
>I think that if Google was prevented (somehow) to pay for user acquisition that would actually be enough to allow competition in.

Wouldn't that (ironically) kill the largest revenue source for Mozilla ?
GNOME shell user here with menubar icons, it isn't a problem for me.
Yeah but there are subtle differences in emojis between platforms. I can't remember the exact details, but I remember running into it as a problem when I was buying emoji domains.[0] Essentially Emoji A would render identically to Emoji B on Android but on iOS Emoji A would render identically to Emoji C, so if you were ever entering them into a URL bar you'd have to have all of the possible combinations 301 to the canonical domain name.

[0] That was such a poorly preforming investment. At least I hit early on Bitcoin to make up for it.
> Yes Google spams search results with ads. But instead of using a different search engine such as duckduckgo.com, we're calling for the government to break up Google?

your alternative suggestion is flawed. ddg shows ads too. actually it shows the same number of ads and roughly in the same manner as google did when it was the same size as ddg today.

the real problem is ad-driven business model which makes all search engines (google, ddg, startpage) advertising companies first. you are what you sell.
OP is litereally ranting about people using text editors for tasks that IDEs excell at, and you are suggesting another text editor.
I don’t use Google for search, and I don’t use Chrome for browsing... yet a large number of calls go to google ad network endpoints from within my home network. It’s no longer a simple matter of opting out - google’s intrusive practices have become so pervasive that end users have to go to great lengths to detach from the Google surveillance apparatus.
Again, renewables are not baseload, meaning it's not on-demand energy, meaning renewables will emit co2 because their require coal or gaz to supplement them. Storing electricity is also pretty damn difficult, and it adds more costs.

I had this argument several times.

Can you power electrical trains with renewables? No, because you can't decide when to have wind or sun.

Concerning costs, this consultants made difference estimation and even when he favors renewables, they are still 2 times more expensive that nuclear.

Even someone who worked with the Obama administration for renewables realized nuclear was better.
As a practical matter, it is not possible to prohibit the use of an algorithm, and any attempt to do so will cause more harm than anything that algorithm might possibly do.

That we're even talking about restricting tech that tells us true things about the world indicates that the level of internal contradiction in the standard worldview has reached an unacceptable level. Only a bankrupt and illegitimate philosophy needs to prop itself up with censorship and bans on true statements.

You can't hold back progress, but you do have a choice between sticking your head in the sand and facing the technological change head-on and making the most of it.

> AI Now

Oh, this is AI Now. The article makes sense now. This organization isn't a research group. It's a political advocacy organization dressed up as a research group. All they do is put an "AI" spin on the standard tech-activist political agenda. You don't have to actually read any of their papers, since the conclusion is always the same: they get to decide what technology you can use.
I used Eclipse at a Java shop for about a year, and then they bought me an IntelliJ license.

It was night and day. IntelliJ was a dream. And not just because of features; it was smoother and it had an Apple level of cohesive, thoughtful user design.
none of these things are directly important. it's hard to recognize, because they sound very advanced and scientific, but it amounts to how bright a spot is on a brain scan. why is brightness there intrinsically good? well... it's not. I know the authors then project the actual measurements into some kind of hand wavy interpretation about how that affects the individual, but it's just hand waving.

no medication would ever be approved by the FDA using these outcomes, nor should they be (unless the community first establishes that it's a biomaker of some kind).

The first one is not really a dumb question. They may have setup their .ssh/config so that the user is automatically taken from that file and password being rejected may simply be due to some other reasons (such as disabling password based login at the server). This is why people should not assume something or make a judgment.

The second question is more because of a misunderstanding about the particular platform. These type of lead-in questions are common in tech support and even many forums where they expect someone will get back to them with more specific questions (they may not have an idea what sort of information will be relevant). A simple comment clarifying this will not only prevent confusion due to arbitrarily closing the question but will help them make a better question.
FWIW I hardly ever see people riding scooters in San Francisco anymore.

They all more than doubled their prices in the last year to $1 + .32/min + tax, which works out to more than $20/hour! At that price, it’s cheaper to just use Uber.
PyCharm doesn’t support multi-module projects which IDEA supports easily. So frankly I am unsure which is more “fidely”
> With climate change, if we let perfect be the enemy of the good we might end up doing nothing which is clearly worse than doing something insufficient.

That is exactly what you are doing in arguing for delay and moderation. To the tune of 38 gigatonnes per year.

> Note: Your source is worthless in this forum. No one is going to read through hundreds of pages to figure out if they support your claim.

I linked to a JPG with three 1960 - 2100 graphs that lay out exactly what number of gigatons leads to what warming on what timeframe. It is "Figure 1" from the "Summary for Policy Makers". There is nothing more basic or dumbed down that can still be called science.
I read the title too quickly and saw "Mailfeasance"

It would be a great name for an email service catering to spammers and scammers.
Emotion-detecting technology is software and distribution of source code is speech, ergo banning it infringes on free speech.

However it might make sense to ban its use in certain cases — like say in order to manipulate public opinion for instance.
I would love to see this same experiment repeated in other cities. For some reason this seems very specific to NYC. Has anyone tried this in Los Angeles for example?

Most of the details you mention are not that relevant though - it works well anyway.
VSCode has out-of-the-box support for JS and TS including autocomplete, visual debugging and variable definition lookup. VSCode is an IDE.
Not dragging but way overhead from something about the height of a radio tower. There could be one about every square mile in a grid. It could have a smaller battery too to permit driving between them. Drive up, hook on, unhook, go to next.

VSCode markets itself as a text editor, but really it's an IDE, especially if you're using TypeScript.
One of the worst gifts that people like to give are surveillance devices that's are at the $20-$30 price point like the Amazon Echo or the Google Home. These are devices that I and others I know wouldn't take for free. So they end up getting regifted or thrown out.

Please don't by technology gifts for people unless you really know what they want.

What you are describing is the "Westernized version" of Yoga. The Yoga practiced over thousands of years in India did not involve "obeying" a common leader except for the few months that you spent learning it. There was nothing tribal about Yoga. Far from it. Most Yogis would retire to forests or caves in Himalayas to practice Yoga in "solitude". And when Yoga was done for extended periods of time (months if not for years) it was called Tapasya. None of this applies to the commercialized Yoga that is practiced in the West. It was especially not for "freeing your mind" or "mindfulness" or "for calming your nerves" or "fixing an ailment". Those were side effects. The real goal of Yoga was achieving Moksha.

Do any of the centers/groups you have seen ever advertise that Yoga is for achieving Moksha? Never. That would defeat the purpose of commercialization.
Building your keyboards is always the way to go! I've built about 10 now and I love it every time.
If they improve this one thing then they are solid. They need to move to natively compiled apps. The JVM can get really slow.

I still use their products despite the slowness but many people don't make the switch because of how heavy the IDE is.
Has anyone experienced a significant performance improvement just by switching GCs? We have an Elasticsearch cluster with G1GC and I’ve been wondering if it’s worth the time to replace a small number of nodes with different GCs. We could swap out 10% of the G1GC nodes for ZGC nodes, for example.
Maybe not the entire Internet but certainly the Web is an advertising machine. People are often berated "How dare you block ads" in your browser taking money away from websites. As if ads were the sole purpose for anything to exist. Even if you do block ads your mere existence as a user is valuable data so I'm not sorry for blocking every advertisement I can.

In the early days of the Web or even just the public Internet in general the Ineternet was an infrequent pastime. If nobody was using the one telephone your entire family owned you could surf the Web, maybe. Even then you only used your dial-up account to briefly use some of your limited hours per month. Most of the time people with computers were offline.

From my point of view advertising has really ruined the Web and the Web itself has made people less computer literate. People use maybe a half dozen websites and that's it most probably use a tablet. I know back when I had my first PC in the early 1990s you had to be much more aware of configuring it. That wasn't a bad thing it really meant you learned about how the computer and OS worked. Being aware of its operation meant you were able to fix it, and your data wasn't stored anywhere but your PC locally at best on a floppy, or dozen.

I know people would counter with the "free" services we use like webmail, streaming video, search engines. I'd pay for it if they were cheap enough but even then your information would be right back in the hands of a large corporation.

It's to the point now where the Internet is vital for government services. If anything governments are going to have to offer cheap (or "free") Internet access, email, and other basics.
We're working on the rest :). Look out for some announcements in the coming days and weeks.
That’s absolutely wrong. The only thing that you’ll notice in IDEA is that it makes certain assumptions about Java (e.g vocabulary and certain menu items are Java-related), but otherwise the functionality is the same.
Those laws that you propose will still themselves be used against less powerful companies, even weaponized, by more powerful companies. Or worse, weaponized by politicians.

This is how most of my keyboards are because not many key sets come with big Ctrl keys.

The last time I dropped by /r/mechanicalkeyboards it was full of people that thought Cherry MX was the be-all end-all rather than just a brand name and a poor substitute for something like a proper buckling spring switch. Is that still the case?
The bigger problem with scooters is that they keep raising their prices. It was $.15/min a year ago and checking Lime and Uber it’s now $.32-.33/min or more than $20/hr!

I hardly see anyone using them in SF anymore. It’s cheaper to use just a regular Uber.

I’m convinced the only people using it now can’t do basic math.
> That is exactly what you are doing in arguing for delay and moderation. To the tune of 38 gigatonnes per year.

I'm arguing for implementing an imperfect plan sooner. I don't understand what you mean.

> I linked to a JPG with three 1960 - 2100 graphs that lay out exactly what number of gigatons leads to what warming on what timeframe. It is the absolute barest possible minimum you should understand to have an informed opinion on the topic.

You're completely right. I saw the start of the link and assumed you linked to the full report.

Pycharm professional should have all the features of webstorm in it. The thing with IDEA is that the ecosystem is too huge and it assumes JVM centered development.

You can make it non-regressive by paying a dividend that is funded by the carbon tax revenues. This is also a possible mechanism for making it revenue-neutral, which could be politically advantageous.

I believe the common name for this approach is "fee and dividend". I'm surprised I don't see it discussed very much. I would think that it should be palatable across the political spectrum.
In short: capitalism
When I tried using PyCharm for javascript development I noticed huge slow downs on my old 2015 macbook pro.
There's also a fairly new subreddit, /r/ErgoMechKeyboards/, which only has ergonomic keyboards (simply split ones, or more usually with staggered columns rather than rows, and often a 3D shape).

Fewer fancy, expensive keycap sets, and more works-in-progress with wires sticking out.

The only way this is getting sorted is if a benevolent AI takes the world by force. And that's not going to happen on this timeline. So we are pretty much assured to be descending into resource wars, mass migration and civil unrest. Trump, Boris and Brexit are the first signs of the developed world pulling up the drawbridges. It's kind of like an emotional response within the brain. We feel trouble significantly before we can reason about it. The emotional response is the fast, unthinking systems of the mind which respond to danger. People on the ground are feeling the danger even though they can't quite put their finger on the reason. And so we get polarisation and isolationist policies.
If you dont have constructive criticism then follow your own advice.
HN is basically r/technology these days, wish they made HN2 where it was just about cool tech and startups like the good old days.
FWIW I find IDEA more responsive (fewer random lags while typing) than my pretty minimal emacs setup. Text editors like vim, kakoune, or xi are snappy, are not IDEs.
Yes, but it would make it easier for competing ad services to enter their search, and competing search engines to serve their ads (the latter is already possible).
I don't know whether this is good news¹, but DuckDuckGo uses Apple maps for location searches, so you can use Apple maps through Duck Duck Go.

I finally bought an Ergodox EZ just over a month ago, after suspecting a split keyboard could solve some postural issues for a while (its practically impossible to use a split keyboard whilst sitting lopsided).

I was a touch typist (two hands, and completely left handed), but I was "wasd" centred.

Learning to home row type was by far the hardest thing about the keyboard. It took me a week of 8/hr a day coding/writing to get back up to speed. Thankfully I didn't have work commitments so could go all in - but on day 3 I was so very close to quitting.

AFAICT it has completely sorted my tendency to move into a bad posture - and for that I know it is worth it.

But to spend 40hrs getting frustrated and working slowly? I couldn't justify it without the posture problem.
No, that was perfectly clear. That's why I said people should not use reputation or upvotes to judge anything in the first place including how good an answer is. They should read all the answers (including the more recent ones) and if needed do further research to find out which one is more updated or relevant at present. I do it all the time particularly for questions on things like git and even programming languages like python which have lot of better way of doing things in last 2-3 years than say 10-15 years ago.
I have a feeling JetBrains's products work well for most but not all types of projects.

Anecdotally, I suffer from performance issues on a very high performance desktop when doing data science. Indexing happens frequently and takes at least 30 minutes. Notebooks and scientific mode bug out frequently, even after a fresh install and in brand new environments. Judging by YouTrack, these issues are not isolated to just my machine and workflow.

I hope they figure them out soon because JetBrains's software is otherwise exceptional.
There seems to be a disconnect between the effort that you expect goes into a question and that SO expects.
Form follows function is not quite Brutalist philosophy. I maybe wrong but then I look at all the Brutalist architecture and see a lot of things that have no functional use.

Just go to Google images and search Brutalist architecture.
> Please, note I didn't say fossil fuels, I said coal: (link to an article arguing in favor of natural gas).

Sadly, the science is not that simple. When calculating the green house emissions from natural gas we also have to include methane leaks during production. Depending on what numbers you use, around 30% of all methane emissions in the US come from fracking, and methane is 28 times worse than carbon. Combined the methane and carbon dioxide from natural gas is a bigger contributor to green house effect than coal.

Of course coal is still very bad. If fracking contribute about 30% of the methane emissions, coal mining also contribute by around 9% and coal energy plants release about twice the amount of carbon in the air compared to natural gas.

The numbers also get a bit more complex if one consider short term vs long term climate change. Methane residence time in the atmosphere is much shorter than carbon dioxide, so after the current crisis of climate change the pollution that burning coal causes is harder to remove than natural gas. The damage however from climate change can be harder or impossible to fix, so its not a clear cut which of natural gas or coal is worse for our current situation.

Best is just to keep both in the ground and use hydro, geothermal, and nuclear as base load and supplemental wind/solar for industries that can take advantage of variable energy production.
That's what they are doing by making private transportation more inconvient and expensive.
There won't be a carbon tax in Germany. People are allergic to anything that has tax in the name. Instead Angela Merkel has chosen to strengthen the CO2 certificate trade in Germany which is known to be ineffective by design [0]. So if international carbon trading doesn't work either then that means there is no effective policy that will allow us to reach our CO2 goals.

The only hope that we have left is that speculative investors drive up the price. The more middlemen the better. If everyone bought 100€ worth of certificates every year and only sold when the price goes up it and keep them forever if the price goes down then this would at least simulate the effects of a CO2 tax because the effects would ripple through the entire economy without requiring action from politicians.

Paying directly for your own carbon sequestration doesn't work because it only has local effects, doesn't encourage prevention of emissions and it is effectively a letter of indulgence ("I'm free of my sin").

[0] many sectors are exempt, a base amount of certificates is handed out for free, the price is always low because there are too many CO2 certificates
Don't underestimate the power of your social media team to make you look bad... (Well, not just social media, DB even thought this was important enough for a press release)
Governments love taxing stuff, and carbon taxes give them an excuse to raise taxes for something that seems like a “good reason”.

But of course they wouldn’t put one in without excluding everyone powerful enough to make a fuss about it.
Not sure on rust compatibility, but have you considered Cap’n Proto? https://capnproto.org/
Right when you or I look at it we say that the biggest producers need to buy the most carbon credits. When coal and manufacturing look at it they say those industries need the most exemptions because they emit the most carbon.
