> Devil's advocate: That's exactly what patents are for though. Someone had a really good idea, built it, and someone else came along and said "that's a really great idea, I'm going to do that too." We, as technologists, keep asserting that ideas have value, until it's an idea we really want.

Ideas have very little value. What is valuable is the implementation of it. And that's what patents protect.

I'm sure that thousands, if not millions of people thought about connected speakers. Sonos build an enclosure and a PCB, specified the protocols to be used, designed the software that goes with it, etc... patenting the technical innovations they spend money on developing along the way. That's what Sonos brought to the table, not the idea of connected speakers.

If Google decided to redevelop things from scratch based on that idea, as they claimed, they owe nothing to Sonos. Sure, they have the advantage of knowing that it is a good idea, but Sonos got a head start, that's fair. What Sonos complains about is that Google didn't develop their solution from scratch and copied more than the general idea.
Here's a prediction. If we reduce the work week to 3 days, or to 20-24 hours, economic forces and the hedonic treadmill will push people to have 2 jobs just to keep up.
But they do, they have factories making their stuff in shandong, hebei, and other places where Foxconn can put up new factories. There will always be places for factories, they don’t have tk be in or even near expensive big cities.

Because in the last few years progress has been slow and mostly incremental with major leaps every 3-5 years.

As long as you can wait and upgrade when that major leap happens you're good for a few years.

That's why we follow tech news, leaks and rumours, to estimate when the next major leap will be and not be suckered into buying hardware that will be too quickly obsolete.

That's why HW manufacturers have NDAs in place. To keep the consumers buying the current stock instead of holding out for the next gen.

From what I understand (I'm just starting to look into this myself as a potential career option), database design and other technical skills like scripting and web design are becoming an increasingly important part of library science. There's a new-ish degree, "Masters in Library and Information Science", that combines both library and information knowledge like this.

There's plenty of open source library management tools such as Evergreen[1] or Invenio[2] for more standard data (like book metadata) but it's still helpful regardless to understand how databases work, what fields might be useful, how normalization works, etc. to better organize and understand the data in a library.

This is a strange list. Hikes are not uniformly distributed among states.

I can't say they're never lost--just last week I saw a single AirPod sitting on a table going through airport security--but as a user of both the AirPods and AirPods Pro, I have more easily lost wired earbuds than these.

You might be thinking in terms of a single AirPod, but for most practical purposes, the unit to track is the case that holds them, and it's not so easy to lose. Thanks to its existence, no AirPod should ever be in a pocket un-cased, so no risk of washing machines, either.

Advertisers think it's okay to leave unwanted stuff on other people's property and force them sort out the mess. Roommates who did that would be told to knock it off by the people they live with. Why should people accept the same behavior from advertisers who are total strangers?

They are counting on people being decent human beings who do what they're supposed to do without complaint. That's exactly what enables them and lets them get away with their unacceptable behavior. If nobody did that, maybe the situation would become unmanageable and the city would be forced to deal with it.

The right thing to do is to put an end to all advertising. That's the true solution. Nobody's gonna do it because the money speaks much louder than right and wrong.

As a native from Michigan that likes to hike; Pyramid Point is not what I would have picked. But I guess in contrast to what the other states have to offer, our dunes on the lake probably stand out as unique to the traveler even though I'm used to them to the point where I'm bored with them. Interesting.
Exactly this. If I woke up with a million-$ idea tomorrow, chances are good I could not just get up and just pursue it. Why not let someone else take the chance?

Add to this that, as time progresses, more and more ideas that are doable by a person (or a small group) are already done. So your idea needs to solve its problem better (by whatever metric, e.g. price/usability/...).

This is somewhat countered by improved tooling (e.g. stripe, node.js, $stack_of_the_week) and cheaper tech (e.g. raw compute power), as well as by growing and better interconnected global markets (the global equivalent to opening a specialty shop in a tiny village or a booming mega city).

Oregon's budget for retired state employees: $100 Billion

I tried to find the same for California, but it seems they do a better job of hiding it.

My point is that we are spending a tremendous amount of money on former government employees, so they can have nice homes, good healthcare, and a quality education for their children. But in the process, we're neglecting a large portion of the population that those people were supposed to be serving.
The problem was that a lot of these mental health institutions were filled with dubious psychoanalysts that often worsened the problems of patients. They had to be booted out. Doesn't mean that there is not place for modern forms of mental health care.
> It would be dishonest to compare the rates

No, I think it's perfectly honest to compare the rates of homelessness in a country that has worked to improve the situation versus a country that continues to let people die in the streets. It seems far more dishonest to compare the rates before the work was done, considering that work was done to reduce the problem. The reason that the US now has a roughly 5x rate of homelessness (and, let's face it, growing) vs a roughly 1.3x rate of homelessness is because the United States has no interest in fixing the problem.

rafaelvasco top-level comment started "Not entirely related with the article" so I don't think it's clear what can or cannot be inferred based on the blog post title.

You write "I won't say science is as dogmatic as religion"

But that's the argument that rafaelvasco made, and what I was objecting to.

> it's far far more dogmatic than most practicing scientists would like to admit

Can you present any evidence of that? Certainly there's the 1950 quote by Max Planck "This experience gave me also an opportunity to learn a fact - a remarkable one, in my opinion: A new scientific truth does not triumph, by convincing, its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it." or the more succinct quip "Science progresses one funeral at a time" already brought up on this thread.

But the widespread reference to that idea suggests that many practicing scientists admit there is dogmatism.

And there are plenty of examples. One I learned in the 1990s was about H. pylori. Quoting https://www.discovermagazine.com/health/the-doctor-who-drank...

> The medical elite thought they knew what caused ulcers and stomach cancer. But they were wrong—and didn't want to hear otherwise.

Again, these stories go around, so I don't agree with your exaggerated "far far more dogmatic" statement.

That appears to be happening in Finland as well. The article says that state funding is funneled through "NGOs such as the Y-Foundation" who are responsible for actually getting the housing.
I can't see how it would be possible to build something in the AirPods form factor with replaceable batteries. So any such device would have to be substantially larger (possibly to the point where it would no longer be comfortable to wear, or to carry the charging case in a pocket).

And from my experience, wired headphones tend to break after a couple of years as well, for different reasons.
I'm actually not convinced on the surface of it that economies of scale apply to government. It seems to me like the larger the population, the more layers of government required to effectively deploy capital.

If you assumed a similar per capita tax rate, but more government is required to deploy the taxes in a larger nation, the larger nation would presumably end up with less money deployed per capita.

Of course I am neither a social scientist, economist or political scientist.

my point is that to assume that something that has existed (continues to exist) will never cease to exist is fallacious reasoning.
It is subjective anyway. I don't think it is meant to be taken that serious...

I found it helpful since I often just want a rough list of hikes to look into further. Other resources focus on specific areas, so I like how broad this one is.
Products that people wish existed are usually (not always) terrible ideas. There's no barrier to just blurting out something you wish existed - you know, something you want to exist, but you definitely won't be building and can't promise you'll use and definitely won't pay for. There's literally nothing holding you back from stating something that you wish existed even if it's just a tiny thing that you personally want in this specific moment for this specific use case.
I’m thus not sure how it could be immoral

> The likelihood is slim of ever getting a lottery permit to hike the super-popular Wave

This makes me feel even more lucky that we entered this lottery (the "remote" version) around 10 years ago and won two permits. Looks like the popularity hasn't decreased much since? We had to adapt our travel plans a lot to be there on the date we got assigned, but it was worth it - although I guess the Wave is a bit over-hyped because of the perceived "exclusivity" and other areas are just as beautiful (albeit sometimes even harder to reach). We had actually considered Buckskin Gulch as an alternative for having to participate in the "on-premise" lottery and not getting permits.
We should clarify the notion of progress. Technological advances are not necessarily progress. Progress imho is something that benefits the whole humanity without harming irremediably nature. But I have the impression that each one has its own definition.
We have abandoned ORMs completely for a repository based approach. It is much more satisfying to write a function to extract/insert whatever you want into a database using the full expressiveness of their query language, and power of the database. The premise of having something abstract the DB is cool but with ORMs you lose expressiveness, and are now fighting the syntax and operation of it. The overhead is also large.
Those are some pretty divisive statements in paragraph 2. Do you live in a binary only world?

People act as if vaccination is perfect and has no risks and that people who try and consider the risks are thus stupid.

>"These vaccination-associated symptoms are widely harmless"

So, mild symptoms are mild, got you.

But you accept that there are people getting life altering illnesses from vaccinations?

Eg https://www.cdc.gov/flu/prevent/guillainbarre.htm says about 1-2 per million vaccinations.
> This appears to be just outsourcing the record schema definition to a sample object in another file.

Not quite. There's an interface called IProvidedTypes that a component - a Type Provider - is responsible for conforming to. That component reads data of some kind and produces information in that interface. The F# compiler then takes that data and includes it in the set of symbols that it calculates for everything else in your codebase. The end result is that you get typed access to data with zero configuration aside from adding a package, and because this data is exposed to tooling, you get IntelliSense for it in your editor as the blog post shows. The paper about the subject is here: http://tomasp.net/academic/papers/fsharp-data/fsharp-data.pd...

> You still have to keep that sample updated to handle new runtime data.

This is only if you're working with a sample. In most cases, developers just point it at the real data source and program against that - the target URL for a JSON payload, the connection string to the SQL database, etc. There's still issues that can arise, such as a poorly-written Type Provider, but the most popular ones are well-written and won't do silly things like slurp in your whole database into memory.
I assume OP was talking about the headline of the linked article, rather than the title of the HN article. The headline of the linked article makes a much stronger claim:

My understanding was that many of the institutions that housed and treated mentally ill people were closed in the 70s due to public outcry about mistreatment. The wikipedia article on deinstitutionalization in the US seems to corroborate this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deinstitutionalization_in_th....

It sounds like some institutions were closed after that movement got going, so I wouldn’t be surprised if institutions were closed under the Regan administration, but I think the decline in public mental institutions preceded his administration and was largely unrelated to it.

This is why I use Plex. I tried using Roku and other things with a remote, but using my phone to just cast things is amazing. I also love Plex/Jellyfin because I like organization and metadata and playlists, etc.

My understanding of the history is that the developers of tmux were using screen to develop tmux, because tmux didn't exist yet, so they needed a non-conflicting keystroke.

Obviously they could have switched before a general release, but I guess they had gotten used to it.
Yeah recent credential stuffing attacks I witnessed showed that blocking traffic based on AS numbers is very helpful.
If your attacker is stupid User-Agent based blocks can be surprisingly effective as well. Beside of that rate-limiting, and if you can, geo blocking can at least slowdown malicious traffic.
It's a bit of pity that the internet is no longer a peer2peer network and just client-server. But since you've a lot of server only networks, you can quite safely block them if your API is clients only. You still might see some false positive due a lot of VPN provider traffic. For what it's worth free VPN services now also push a lot of malicious traffic.
Can we apply the steps to reading source code?

Here's my take on adopting it to reading code:

1. Read readme if available, read the list of source files to get a sense of how the project is modularized. Identify the entry point. Identify type of program from main entry point: is it a server, a CLI, or a graphical app?

2. Run call graph analysis tool if you have it, so you can study callgraph tree starting from main entry point. Read just the function names and start making notes of how the execution works at various levels, e.g does it read input then enter an infinite loop, does it wait on network packets, does it use update/render loop, etc. Also make note of whether a function is trivial/non-trivial based on quick glance at the code.

3. Ignore the trivial ones, and read the non-trivial ones in detail. Make note of the algorithm, data structures, and dependencies.
