Have you considered that this is probably just the anxiety talking? In my experience people don't go out of their way to be mean. Unless you specifically choose to be controversial, the worst case is people will be indifferent and just won't share/upvote.

It's the community. Half the members of AA can't even name all the steps, but in AA they find kinship with other people with similar experiences and similar struggles.

Humans are hyper-social. We live better, grow better, heal better, and confront difficulties better when we have others. This is true for introverts too. Introverts are not anti-social, they just have a more muted less intense social style.

The Difference Between Forex and Stock
I completely agree with the message that people-helping people is super effective.

But I'd like to point out that one of the core tenants of AA is to surrender to a higher power.

I'm not advocating in favor of religion. But rather highlighting that maybe people who accept 'surrender' of their own will are more likely to get better. There's something to the concept that seems powerful.

Anecdotally, I've known someone who used to be stressed out and controlling. Last time I saw him he was not so stressed. He said his life changed once he surrendered and accepted his destiny. He didn't go religious or anything, just 'accepted' his fate.

It reminds me of the old saying: The reasonable man adapts himself to the world, the unreasonable man adapts the world to himself, therefore all progress is due to the unreasonable man.
The issue is also when the fence was there for horrible reasons, e.g. "that fence is there to keep the underclass in their ghetto."

Of course I suppose it still works in that case. You found the reason. The reason sucked. Therefore, remove it.

I think this looks interesting, and I applaud the team.

That said... am I the only one that thinks that anything that is JS based seems ridiculously complicated to use? I don’t do much UI work, but any time I look at using react or similar it feels like there are a lot of moving parts and a lot of steps to perform before you can even get started on something useful.
Now that's interesting. How the heck could people all buy out dry beans, which are rather mass produced?

I think it might be because so much is still unknown and Italy's death % keeps going up due to their medical facilities being heavily overloaded.

In Long Island, NY 6 people were recently confirmed infected. All but one is hospitalized but the problem is 2 are in their 20s, 2 are in their 30s, 1 is in their 40s and 1 is in their 80s. The only one not hospitalized is an early 20s woman[0].

The reports don't explicitly say if they had prior health conditions or not but most reporting up until now always included if the patient had prior health conditions.

In any case, this doesn't seem to be limited to the old and sickly. Italian doctors are also saying they are seeing a large influx of younger healthy people needing critical care. This is folks having their lungs punctured and needing mechanical breathing machines to avoid drowning to death from liquid build up in their lungs.

That is probably why people are freaking out.

One of the features of APFS is supposedly a cache for total size of directory trees.

As far as I remember, it is something the OS decides to turn on or off for different folders. It’s wasteful for /tmp, for example, because it makes file creation and deletion slightly slower.

I’m not entirely sure if du would want to tap into that. A lot has changed in MacOS, and it’s not entirely clear if we still have a universal definition of “file size”. You can let iCloud store large files now, for example, truncating the local file when it is rarely accessed.

Don’t remember the exact name, sorry.

There is a MacOS-native way to explore recursive size, by the way: about this Mac -> storage -> manage -> documents -> file browser. This is limited to your user folder by default, but you can just create a soft link to take you to /
Yes, my personal interpretation of it is that it is a dogwhistle, but I was being charitable. Then again, a good dogwhistle is plausibly deniable as inoccuous.

Agreed and when we find out that the actual mortality rate is only .1% after 50mil+ people have been infected then will people come back on hacker news and recant? Will they explain to everyone that their reaction was largely based on fear and apologize for attempting to spread that fear to as many people as they possible could?

If your understanding of the four essential freedoms and whom they apply to were correct, then someone using a kiosk that runs GPL software would be entitled to a copy of the source code.

This is covered in the GNU licenses FAQ [1]:

> Does GPLv3 require that voters be able to modify the software running in a voting machine?

> No. Companies distributing devices that include software under GPLv3 are at most required to provide the source and Installation Information for the software to people who possess a copy of the object code. The voter who uses a voting machine (like any other kiosk) doesn't get possession of it, not even temporarily, so the voter also does not get possession of the binary software in it.

If you extend this to its logical conclusion, then he’s claiming that there is no value in teaching. Put another way: learning by yourself is equally effective and efficient as learning from an expert.

I think anyone with a trade (like plumbing) or an engineering degree would wholeheartedly disagree. At some point, you don’t know what you don’t know, and your own biases will blind you to the full breadth of any topic.

Perhaps with lots of wealth, we’d all have enough time to teach ourselves advanced skills, try them out, and learn from mistakes, but most people don’t have that luxury. College gives that framework to everyone who can attend.
I disagree, at least in part.

Good points all around! For the record, if you (or someone on your team) can write great posts quickly solo, that's awesome and I'd never dissuade it. But a lot needs to go right for that to be possible. For an individual to pull it off, IMO you need to meet these criteria:

- You yourself are doing something technically interesting

- You know enough about the project and/or topic to write on behalf of your team members and company. (Because posts on company blogs are perceived to represent everyone.)

- You need to be a competent writer. Sub-skills matter, too: editing, proofreading, creating visuals, and more. This simply takes practice, especially if you expect to move fast.

- It helps if you're a native english speaker, which many engineers are not.

- If you're truly doing it all yourself, you need to know your way around whatever CMS your company uses. Most engineers don't.

- You need to know enough to anticipate the repercussions. Love them or hate them, this is what Legal/PR/Comms are for.

If all this is true, yes, an individual can write a great post in a single day.

To answer your question directly, I was able to write my main comment quickly because:

- I was responding to something. I wasn't writing from scratch. Hot takes are easy ;)

- I'm a cofounder. AKA: I'm comfortable writing on behalf of my company. It's actually part of my job.

- HN comments are lower stakes than a blog post. No long-term SEO impact, for example.

- I've been doing this for 10+ years. And my 500 word comment still took me 90 min to write and edit.

- Yup, I'm a native english speaker.

- Probably some other factors I'm blind to at this point.

I agree, but having attended AA meetings to support my significant other I can really see how the groups and meetings help. For the people like you and me who can work through it ourselves, there will be a hundred who can't and where the program helps. Personally I have an issue with giving up control absolutely as it is worded, since I like to be in control of my destiny, but I respect and appreciate the wonders that AA can work for people.

Exactly! News doesn't "happen", it is "made". Hence the phrase "that made the headlines!". Reporting is mirroring events as they happen, and in doing so creating a narrative that explains why things happen and how they unfold.

This is where context matters and Marshall McLuhan's "The medium is the message" starts to make sense.

> He said that a medium affects the society in which it plays a role not only by the content delivered over the medium, but also by the characteristics of the medium itself.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_medium_is_the_message

> Perhaps the biggest question is whether it's ok to profit from the pandemia?

I think it's hard question to answer because you're implicitly asking "can we find a universal standard that provides a consistent answer in different contexts?" and the answer is "no" because ethical and moral standards are always based on a collective consensus emerging from the interplay between many individual, contradicting beliefs. This is why moral standards can also shift and change over time.

It's worth observing that there will always be unscrupulous outlets ready to profit from a good crisis ("don't let a good crisis go to waste!").

This is where it's up to society to define their own moral standards and give individuals the leverage through education to critically assert the value of the news. Is this item truly informative or is it clear fearmongering and not worth the paper it was printed on? And how much do we value voicing our own dissent or disagreement with what was printed?
Can I ask what your company does? Is there work that you do that requires having in office, non-laptop hardware? Seems like your company has implemented some policies that make it unsuited for WFH, but I don't see them as common. I don't know many companies where people are working on "rigs". Just about everyone is using a company issued laptop, whether at the office or at home. The only difference between working at home and the office is the desk you are sitting at and perhaps the number of monitors you are using. But even from a monitor perspective, I don't think having an extra monitor or a larger screen is that much different from a productivity perspective. A little better? Sure. World changing? Definitely not.

Frankly, its a little bizarre that you have non-laptop company issued hardware for doing work. No company I've ever worked at, from small tech startups to large, non-tech Fortune 500 companies in industries not known for being cutting edge, would have these issues. But every company I've worked at issued everyone uses laptops, utilized team software (Slack/Teams), and had options for either using ssh into on more powerful onsite servers or cloud computing, for the instances where it is required.
I feel that. I've had no trouble learning the skills I've needed to succeed in the workplace, but I wish I'd gone to college for the social environment and the girls and the connections. The stuff I'm NOT good at on my own, basically.

I specifically remember that float was not available.

It was a big effort to overcome that to have basic trig functions good enough to make an "asteroids" type game.

I read about it not being available. The textbooks said so. I checked. It was a compile error to use float.

Here are a couple of links. Remember this was a very long time ago. Like 20 years.

Dan, having been that exact same bottleneck it's common for many.

And echo everything your said. In terms of getting something out the door as soon as you do that you've diminished the impact of the post. It's similar to quality engineering you ship it when it is ready, not because you said it'd take a week and you spent a week on it. Most engineers hate artificial marketing deadlines, being able to work on a post to get it into a good state can be equally as unclear in terms of timing as engineering.

I've found that a dedicated mentoring process, similar to your buddy system can work well. As you're growing the people that are able to review/drive content having them follow along as I review posts and provide feedback helps for them to internalize some of the steps. In my experience after shadowing for about 5 posts they're able to start guide someone else with still some need for support and final reviews.

A final note, as someone that has written a lot of content I can crank out a post in anywhere from a day to an hour. For someone that has an interest in a topic you shouldn't expect the same output (time wise) as someone that does this more frequently, a quality blog post for someone not used to the process can spend multiple days up to a week in total on it. This comes down over time and with practice, so you shouldn't assume it's always that high, but it does take repetition.

Finally, everyone has interesting technical things to talk about. Anytime an internal email is sent to engineering@ about some interesting tip, how some problem was solved, or a guide to how to accomplish something it's a great candidate for a post.

The origin
I all began when Paul Graham sent a tweet:

@paulg. Jan 13:

"Is there an easy way to build, or a startup that offers, something that will email you once a day asking 'What's happening?' and then accumulate the replies?

We once funded a startup that did this, and it left a hole in my life when it shut down."

At first, I thought: that is interesting. I could build that. But in a few minutes, there were a lot of people that make suggestions for other products that could do something similar. So, probably the problem is already solved and forgot about it.

But in the next days, I keep on thinking about that. I would like to use a site like the one that Paul Graham described. So, I went back to that tweet and checked all the solutions that the people gave. Most of them were not exactly what Paul Graham explained and what I need. All of them were quite complicated and I did not like the look and feel. So, I decided to build it for myself.

I'm not sure what you're pointing out. I like this writing style, and it's perfectly comprehensible to me.
One of the most annoying things to me in current journalism is how news and facts and opinion pieces get more and more conflated. Probably because the pure "news" is readily available to everyone, so the respective media just take those news, put their spin on it and cater it that way to their audience as a way to create a "product".

Unfortunately this linkblog (that's what it is) isn't really much different, it's a collection of opinion pieces that the author agrees with.

When I want reasonable, global news, I usually just go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events, which is quite balanced and linking sources and Wikipedia articles about the topic.

I love Slack but if you get a big enough team you start losing messages quickly on the free tier to the void and it's expensive to upgrade. Stuff like this and Mattermost/RocketChat could be handy. Fling on a VM/Container Host of your choice and job's a good'un.

Also probably good if your company has to adhere to certain data security legislations keeping the instance firewalled and not giving data to Slack.

Actually a new gas car for 20k EUR is definitely more expensive than a 40k Tesla over the years. Gas cars burn a lot of money over the years. And those expensive cars also then get cheaper to buy on the used car markets.

Then again Tesla is not hurting, they sell just about everything they can build.

Of course it can! You can train any bias you want into your neural net. The question is how long your engineers will buy it, and whether the socially acceptable default position, that men and women should expect identical outcomes given identical opportunities, is actually true - because that is neither theoretically not empiricially verified, despite what outlets like NYT [and third wave feminists in general] are desperate to have you believe.

Before you flag and downvote, please seriously consider my last point, a reckoning may be quickly approaching Western society. We have taken for granted the conflation of equality of opportunity with equality of outcome - how will Western society respond if (I'm not saying when, but if) neural nets consistently predict gendered differences? Will we revert some of our recent assumptions regarding human nature, or will we collectively insist that the data is bad until it is massaged to show the results we expect?
