> Well, yeah, sure, but are you actually taking this on because the idea truly resonates with you? Clicks with who you are? Or are you just waking up each morning, secretly resenting the entire thing, because some "thought leader" marketed the idea of "running = road to success" in such a way that you honestly started to believing that?

Thanks, I needed to read this.

Ironically, one of the few areas I don't have this with is running. For one of the unique things that defines me is a talent for it and I run whenever I'm alone and traveling on foot since I'm an impatient fellow.
I think you have a bug, i typed in trans as a test word and trans.io came up available, but its not.

IIRC, it was initially argued by the Bush administration that because the facility was in Cuba, it was exempt from American laws against indefinite detainment, requiring council and forbidding torture and cruel and unusual punishment (sorry... enhanced interrogation), etc. That argument was quickly shot down, though, because obviously an American military base in Cuba is still American property and subject to American laws.

After 9/11 there was this perception (somewhat engineered by the neo-cons, but also organic in that Americans had never experienced anything like that and had a bit of an existential crisis) that American civil liberties and laws had actually made the country weak and had created a loophole that terrorists had been able to exploit. This led to the "new normal", where it was seen as necessary (even a matter of civic duty) to accept ceding our civil rights and liberties in order to allow the government to aggressively pursue the terrorist threat by any means necessary.

This lead to Guantanamo Bay and the normalization of indefinite detainment and torture in American culture, to the increased militarization of American police, to the modern global surveillance panopticon as revealed by Snowden, and the War on Terror.
Education hasn't gone well publicly so far in America. I'm not sure completely private is the answer but something needs to change. Government funding has led to massive amounts of money being spent for negligible results. Agree on health, law / police though
Interview with Satyen Kothari, a 5x Entrepreneur and Founder of Cube Wealth
All of my food and goods are moved with bicycles and public transportation.

There's a big hospital not far from where I sit, too. All of the food and goods for 1100 patients there are moved with bicycles and public transportation.

You might argue that you didn't mean all kinds of public tranportation, you meant only the kind of vehicles whose interior is designed to carry people and a bit of luggage. Not the kind that's meant to carry goods for the general public. But why shouldn't the companies that transport for the general public be free to choose vehicles, routing, perhaps even timing to suit the loads and other needs?

Being healthy is a key to solving procrastination. Feeling good about yourself, feeling prepared and optimistic, feeling good about your body, all puts you in the right state of mind to achieve and "exercise willpower". Being tired or out of shape really hurts that! So sleep well, eat well, and get some exercise.
Yeah, tried another one `cross`. Said bitcross.com was avaliable but it wasn't.
I actually have to disagree, I bought Logitech stuff for the last 14 years. At some point, anything I bought from them was amazing (i have a g9 that lasted me 10 years, I still use the g600, various keyboards, the g13 for gaming).

Now, I purchased the G502 and used it for a year (at work and home, lot of use).
I had to stop, their pointy finger area is elevated instead of "dropping" like traditional mouse. The consequences are that you put strength through the whole finger for a click, rather than a soft push on the tip.

Isn't it ironic that Sentry is one of the tools mentioned in py2->py3 migration? (Sentry is on py2 and as far as I remember they were not very optimistic about migrating)
Interesting point, but not actually a rebuttal of my statement. Another example: von Neumann Architecture was not invented by von Neumann; he was just the guy who illegally published the concept under his name without naming the real authors. So again: attributing knowledge to persons does not really help.
Hopefully no more people will keep saying "learn Python 2 because 3 has almost no packages".

It is so easy for people to just repeat what they heard even if that idea originated a decade ago and was valid a decade ago.

And that way we got into a mess of not migrating until pass the time it is no longer supported...
You could improve the ubuman calls so you don't have to change every release:

}
Doesn't that apply to any field, though?

Doctors get one thing wrong and then people want to self-diagnose with the internet. It's like a programmer originally thinking a bug is in one function when it's really in another. And then the customer reads a Java for dummies book and thinks they can find the answer.

In a book /Against Therapy/, Jeffrey Masson, Freud scholar, explains how Freud deluded himself into disbelieving accounts that he originally had believed. The thought of them being true simply became unbearable to him.

Freud used to talk about wish-fulfillment fantasies. Apparently he fell to his own wish-fulfillment fantasy. He wished to live in a world in which child sexual abuse was not a thing.
> Tax assets instead of income for individuals

That would cause an incentive to consume and a disincentive to save. I don't think that is the direction we want to push our financial system in.
This is a very limited point of view. Unecessary repeated code is a problem caused by inexperience, not by preprocessors.

They aren't training wheels, they are meant for advanced users who wants to save time.
I don't get the rationale behind these policies.

I mean, there must be a set number of allowed resets/additions/deletions.

Two possible extreme cases:

1) this (unknown) set amount is so large that the overwhelming majority of users (let's say 99%) won't ever hit it

2) this (unknown) set amount is so small that the overwhelming majority of users (let's say 99%) is likely to hit it before or later

If #1 it makes no sense as it affects such a small number of devices to be irrelevant, if #2 it makes no sense because it would cause an uproar of the customer base.

And the sheer fact that there is a set limit to reset/additions/delections that is not explicited in documentation exposes the manufacturer to possible lawsuits.

That is a dogmatic statement not supported by any evidence. Many countries have really quite efficient governments. e.g. the UK spends less taxpayers money per person on healthcare than the US and we have free medicine, longer life expectancy and better health outcomes.

>In the humanities ("Geisteswissenschaften", and similar disciplines) the situation is different. Knowledge is rather believable and not falsifiable, but only accepted on the authority of the person who uttered the sentence.

I'm curious if you have any evidence that this is a general trend. Your original comment is also wrong; the "Frankfurt School", one of your examples, does not ascribe particular authority to its members by virtue of being part of the "school"[1] - rather, it denotes a particular tradition, very similar to the way we use the term "school" in music. A school of thought[0] specifically denotes a commitment to a particular method or set of principles, not a commitment to certain personages. Although a school may take after one person, it's not because of the person but because of the content of their thought.

Besides, the Frankfurt School never claimed to be carrying out science. Other schools were, for instance, committed to certain ideas of science. These philosophical schools are ontologically prior to science.

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_of_thought

[1] Habermas is a "member" of the Frankfurt School of thought, yet he is criticized by those inside and outside the school. This, at least, shows that a school of thought is not a dogmatic adherence to a person or their ideas.

I recently bought a dev laptop and was looking at Pinebook Pros. The main deterrent for me was the possibility of dead pixels.

I also found out you can do this with GIMP with layers, I think you name them a specific way and export as GIF and it does it. Also for Linux users, you can record your screen with Peek and turn it into a gif. Not sure if OBS does gifs wouldn't surprise me though.
I dont mind this feature in Firefox and Chrome, as it only happens once, and only out of the box.

Microsoft has a notorious penchant for disrespecting user preferences in favour of market share. They were known for steamrolling IE as the default after every patch of windows, so im anticipating the "bing" default to get applied every time a windows patch is rolled out as well.

Users will probably (rightly) see this behavior as an error and go back to using Chrome. Heck, it was part of a litany of chicanery that spurred the exodus from IE.
I've navigated this thing a few times. The first time I just stayed on it for 20 minutes, trying to work it out, and yeah .. basically just confused as hell for a while.

Subsequent trips were easy. If you're intimidated, just get on it and stay on it until you feel like you get where it's going. Those crossovers are dodgy AF though, especially with irate lorry drivers who are, most likely, also pretty stressed for having to do the thing ..
That reminds me of a quote from Machiavelli that I recently saw on HN:
"Severities should be dealt out all at once, so that their suddenness may give less offense;
benefits should be conferred gradually, and in that way they will taste better."

This advice may also apply to one's own spending and activity choices.
yr.no provides a lot of global data for free, but the API is a bit funny to use (though a new one is to be released sometime soon).

The US NWS provides a huge amount for free, but the data is US-only and it's quite weird to use as well. https://www.weather.gov/documentation/services-web-api is something to start with. A lot can be found on FTP sites as well, like radar data.
This is weird. I don't see any ads on that page, and I don't have any ad-blockers. I am looking at it with Safari, so maybe that's the difference?
The majority of vehicles sold in the US are vehicles also sold elsewhere, e.g. Asia and Europe, which do have pedestrian protection rules in place. I found a short article that elaborates a bit on the relationship between these safety regs and design:

Not to detract from your other points, which I agree with, but ... according to e.g. [0], and I've found similar data in other places, life expectancy for a girl in the victorian era was ~40. So you can't judge the number 12 by today's standards.

I think the point really is he's writing his thoughts in the margins, that are relevant to the book. The book can be sat with offline and relaxing in a library away from technology.

While it's a small percentage at any given time, it would be interesting to know what percentage of the prison population were "introduced" to prison by that route. Once someone has been imprisoned once, they are at a much higher risk for subsequent imprisonments.
As more wealth is tied up in houses and houses are passed on to children, owning a house will become even more dependent on the wealth of your parents than your income.

Someone with a house they pay low taxes on but is worth several millions is unlikely to sell so housing prices will keep shooting up and exclude many people who simply weren't lucky enough to be born to richer parents.

This is not an easy question to answer, but in my experience it pays off to ponder it carefully.

So far, the heuristic that seems to work better for me is to keep the overall surface of the app small and try to keep everything in a single app. Lately, however, I'm convinced that extracting parts of the code as separate services (in particular, for handling users, logs, and statistics) would make the overall structure simpler. Dissecting this a little bit, an external user service is equivalent to middleware, whereas logs and statistics are write-only, after-the-fact side effects (from the perspective of the app), so bidirectional interaction with them is not needed for the purposes of serving a particular request. What I try to avoid is to have a server route that involves (necessarily) asynchronous logic between services to check the consistency of an operation.

In terms of "business logic", I feel that whatever lies within a transactional boundary should be in the same service; i.e., if two users share a resource, both the information of who owns the resource and who can access the resource should be in the same service. But I suspect there might be a lot more of thinking to be done in this regard.
What if, for some of us, it's neither? Not just getting arbitrary things done, with $things being a free variable. And not just living a life in maintenance/standby mode - the "drink, eat and be kind" part. To me, the latter sounds empty, and the former sounds pointless - because the whole point is that free variable. The things we do.

One of the nice and addicting things about videogames is that they tend to set a goal in front of you that you emotionally care about, and then let you achieve it step by step through wits and skill. The goal is relevant, achievable; the steps and the outcomes have clear impact on your progress towards that goal, and the feedback is pretty much immediate.

This is in contrast to our modern lives. There are almost no large, social-scale goals that are achievable by individuals or small groups. There are goals in the smaller communities, but smaller communities these days are less present and more fluid. And even among the goals affecting you and those close to you, achieving them tends to feel either like following a tutorial (no point in having agency), or like a game of chance (work, love). The feedback is distant, failure and success both turn your "gameplay" upside down.

I'm not totally convinced of this, but I have this feeling that the problem of our cultural reward function is that today, it's mostly defined as "do whatever you like, be whoever you want to be". Maximum freedom, but minimum direction.
The Edge team is trying really hard to create a "we do things right" story around their project. They must be annoyed that a different department squanders the goodwill they're working so hard to create with stuff like this.

If you're a team in a big company and you're trying to optimize for long-term success, you better have the power to stop other teams that try to drive short-term success with campaigns that hurt you.
Yep, IMO that sounds sexist. I think especially the second thing is sexist (dependent on a man). I can point to counter examples. There might be a trend in some locales? I wouldn't know. But the way it's written it sounds a bit like it's inherent to the woman (being dependent on the man for purpose), that's why it sounds sexist.

Just pointing it out how it sounds and why it sounds to me that way (I didn't downvote). At the risk of sounding controversial, that's okay (I like to hunt after big sexist issues and this isn't one of them, e.g. convincing men why to be a feminist and what's in it for them).

But I do really appreciate the insight that the biggest biological difference between men and women (ability to give birth for a relatively short period of time, IMO) does put them in a different existential starting position right from the outset. Because they need to deal with this. I'm 30 now and I'm slowly beginning to be like "oh yea kids, that's a thing." (men have it easy that way, IMO)
Which part? Definitely didn't pick up on that. I think you might have blown out of proportion the more subtle argument he was making.

Agreed. I'm often stunned at the ethical vacuum that defines the tech industry, these days.

This has been personally heartbreaking, for me, as I was once a "starry-eyed dreamer" that the tech industry would rescue the world.

Instead, it has become an ethical wasteland that puts money above all else, to a vastly self-destructive level.

There is prior art in this. The finance industry was the same. After 1929, and several other disasters, since, the industry has come under increasing regulation.
The established norm is for the browser to ship a default and allow users to change it.

The difference here is that Microsoft is overriding the user choice without consent initially AND doing it again every time to patch Office 365, which your license agreement requires you to do every 90-120 days.

As with several recent Microsoft behaviors with Windows and Office, it is fundamentally disrespectful of the customer. As someone who has run a big End User Computing organization, having Uncle Microsoft modifying other vendors software undermines my ability to do my job and hold those vendors accountable for their product.

It’s a shame because Office 365 is an incredibly positive thing. But with about a decade in, you have the next generation of managers in the company aspiring to make the 2020s equivalent of the 2000s triple play cable bundle. Unfortunately cable company aspirations nurture cable company customer focus.

But isn't the problem with public schools in the US that the funding comes from taxes in the school district itself, so ppor districts will get a underfunded school while rich districts get a well funded school?

Anyway, the school system should be changed dramatically everywhere. The current paradigm is hurting children and should be abolished.
I want a browser that allows first-party cookies, but auto-expires them if I don't visit the domain for an hour. It should also only allow one level of requests (i.e. if a site requests a resource, that resource cannot request additional resources from other domains).

The latter part won't prevent bad behavior, but it will force that behavior to be proxied -- which carries technical, financial and legal implications that will cause companies to be more careful about their downstream redirects.

I think Google has restricted such installers from installing stuff in Chrome, so I imagine only Microsoft is capable of doing something like this now because it owns the OS underneath the Chrome browser.

If that's true, that's quite an abuse of power, and Google should report Microsoft to the EU. Not to mention the whole "forcing" of a monopoly software onto users on a monopoly OS probably won't look all that good to the EU either.
It doesn't sound like mister_hn is excusing Microsoft's behaviour. It's just that, if people think Google is the "victim" here, they are completely wrong. They both have little regard for a user's preference.
