I’m not following your line of thought. Nobody claimed they made up the entire economy, and they don’t right now even amidst a multi-state stay-at-home order. So, I’m not sure what you are arguing against.

There are essential parts of the economy and non-essential parts of the economy and they can certainly exist without each other. In fact, they did when society’s first formed. Then, they focused on a different level of the hierarchy of needs but it was still an economy. Food was produced and houses were built before cars, cell phones, and video streaming ever existed.

I skipped the last part because while it is true that those things lead to “civil unrest”, you haven’t proved that we meet your own conditionals. What is “some percentage”? What is “actively blocked”?

For example, I see government subsidies all over the place. To the tune of $2 trillion so far with almost certainly more to come.
>I don't understand how the best and brightest, sitting at the top of some of the largest organizations in the world, don't see how that rankles a lot of people

Because they don't actually care if it rankles anybody. It doesn't affect their compensation. It doesn't even affect their organization because they know people will continue to flock to work there because they have little choice. The platitudes are pro forma precisely because they are boring and thus won't attract coverage, either news or legal. I actually appreciate the rare Master Of The Universe that slips up and just tells people that they'll get nothing and like it, but it's rare because this is considered gauche and you have a harder time getting invited to Davos.
The greatest strengths are almost always also the greatest weaknesses.
Why not? I use a tiling wm and I love it. I'm able to make my desktop act exactly the way I want it to act. I don't appreciate my windows being rambunctious.

If I'm on a machine without a tiling wm I generally using everything maximized and alt-tab like you say. But that's still usually an extra click after opening an application.

I also love tmux, but I have a coworker that doesn't see the point.

So, having options is nice. I want to be able to work the way I want. I also want you and my coworker to be able to work your way.
Would it have been too difficult to pass legislation that requires opt out as the default and require people to opt-in?
In my neighborhood in NYC, restaurants are getting much more vocal about the commission rate.

We used to be pretty exclusive seamless users in my house until we got a letter in one of our bags that roughly read:

"thank you for your order. Especially with the decrease in volume during these times of crisis, the grubhub commission makes it hard for us to stay in business. please consider ordering direct to support your neighborhood."

Since then (near the beginning of the COVID shelter in place order), we've ordered with the telephone or custom solutions every time. And we've noticed a difference: delivery times are literally half of what they were before.

It's interesting to see the `shopify`-ing of restaurants in our area: instead of going through the big platform of Seamless etc., they're using platforms that appear to be more like shopify/stripe (decentralized, meager commissions, no high-traffic "discovery" platform). Some of our favorite restaurants have even left Seamless/etc, because they're literally losing money on orders fulfilled there.

For example, a famous pizzeria nearby used to never offer delivery, but recently started offering delivery, with online ordering powered by https://pos.toasttab.com/products/online-ordering.

I don't know if all of this commotion will be enough to unseat the seamless/grubhub/postmates of the world, but I honestly hope it does. Restaurants are a tough enough business as it is, and the steep commission rates have been converting mom & pop places into sweatshops. :/
Which means any website that does anything useful. That doesn't mean ads, but Google Analytics (or another comparable service) is just about everywhere these days.
The sad thing is, i was 1/3 into your post before it was clear that you were being cheeky. I've read several comments/articles on hn lately that were like this but serious.

Note: you forgot your container orchestration orchestrator. Also you should make clear that your CI/CD pipelines will also use the orchestration orchestrator pattern.
Language is thought.

But like the chicken and egg paradox, how can one come before the other? I was incapable (I think) of formulating even the concept of "Gestalt" until I had heard the word for it, had it explained to me.

Now I see the concept of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts everywhere.
But how exactly are we going to access all of them, are they live now?
I'd love to see a blog post enumerating all the dark pattern design in all the GDPR and CCPA cookie opt-out. It could be a case study in user-hostile design.

First you see the warning banner that has the large prominent "CONTINUE (i consent)" CTA button with a tiny "options" link somewhere below.

If you catch that "options" is code for "I don't want to consent", you're then brought to a wall of legalize that you need to scroll to the bottom to find the double-negative-ambiguous-toggle labelled "Do not sell my privacy data". So you need to enable it to disable tracking. I think. But even so, it's a toggle UI instead of a checkbox, so you're not quite sure what state means what.

There's one particular provider of these consent forms out there that a lot of sites use... I'm sure their marketing materials say "our world-class designers have identified the best and most clear user-design principles, which we have inverted to minimize your opt-out conversion rate!"
This is what Chrome has announced they are doing with “privacy sandbox” which is going to replace 3rd party cookies in 2 years time.
You might think it's just one bit of fingerprinting information, but if 99 of 100 users click "accept" and one user clicks "decline", it's suddenly become 6.6 bits. Now combine that with other fingerprinting data and you have uniquely identified the user.

It's the same problem with pages where most users are logged in: the few who aren't are suddenly such a small group that they become identifiable through other means.
That idea is from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, actually.
CredentialGuard uses Hyper-V, so it could be that.
For me depth is having emacs keybindings everywhere, support for good fonts and high resolution displays, and great touchpad support. Really basic but important stuff that seem to have been in short supply from other vendors.

Github is getting Microsofted, there were some good things about this in the recent past, but I wonder...
So GitHub (Microsoft) continues to venture way beyond just source control and it's directly related areas, into a much more overall "development" strategy, seemingly echoing what GitLab have been doing for a while.

It's sad to see GitHub moving slowly into spreading itself too thin, instead of just improving the platform they have. They now try to replace CI services, donation platforms and now remote code editors.

Seems their core service is still holding up so far, but with all these moves in different directions, I'm getting a bit worried that the SCM and software collaboration part will be left out. I think GitHub becoming SourceForgeV2 is closer than people think. It's bound to happen at one point.
Is that a framed picture of Mike Pence in the background?
You have to accept the world doesn't revolve around you. and that's hard for people.
Basically no impact. At least for me. Some people seem to get terrible performance, but I don't know why. Their drivers? Or is it trying to run without Virtualization enabled in BIOS? AMD-V, VT-x, VT-d?

I don't consider it odd. It is the way a Type 1 hypervisor works. Windows puts in some effort to hide most of that from the user.

Everyone would've emulated cookies using HTML local storage, because it would be a pretty quick fix (just wrap all cookie API's). So you'd gain nothing except push people from a standard to an ad hoc solution.

Switching to server side storage would've been a too costly architectural change. What if the server side was stateless before?

And even if, web applications would still have needed to support the old model for interop reasons. It's not feasible for everyone to maintain code for both approaches when they are so different.

It'd also break many use cases, such as using a (signed) cookie as cache for some really frequently used data. Or more importantly authentication, where an auth service returns a token (in some cases a token that can be checked by a different service without contacting the auth service again).

So yeah, that was a non starter.
The problem here is that there’s a prisoner’s dilemma among websites that rely on ad revenue. If only a few websites decide to become fully GDPR compliant, then those websites see all of their ad revenue disappear and go out of business. If, on the other hand, every website properly implements the GDPR requirements then the tracking based ad model disappears and we’re back to the pre-tracking world of ads.

The problem is: how do you get everyone to cooperate at the same time when the incentive for cheating is that your website gets all the revenue?

This dilemma is just one of many in modern society and all are aspects of Moloch [1]. Ultimately we’d like to kill Moloch but that seems very difficult right now.

No delivery service is good. Why would I pay more for soggy food that left the kitchen almost an hour ago? Restaurant's own delivery services don't even suffer from this as they go right from store to door. Ubereats et al orders sit for 15 minutes by the register waiting for the driver to appear.
Well, your web app vs web site distinction is very arbitrary. For example, imagine if it happened to be "it's a web app if it can benefit from position:fixed". Then your input isn't going to be very useful here.

Also, your accusation isn't warranted. Just because someone doesn't know your arbitrary distinction between web app vs web site doesn't mean they ignored the person above them.

I don't think most people would consider HN suddenly a web app if it upgraded its <textarea> into a wysiwyg markdown box.

> the goal of increasing your income/time ratio.

Not sure that's quite the right simplification of the appeal of passive income. Your time is fixed, the appeal of passive income for many is recovering more of your time. There's always more money you could make if you just get that next raise or promotion, so the most straightforward way to maximize your income/time is just to climb the corporate ladder and make more income.
> So much insight is cooked into those little key mappings.

Just a point of historical order, didn't those key mappings mostly come from ed? Aka Ken Thompson and Ritchie?

Yeah, it is kinda amusing that one of the stablest ABIs for GUI applications on Linux is the Windows one :-P.

Sadly the Wine GUI controls, while they work, always felt off to me and have multiple minor issues. But at least they work. I think a big reason is that despite libwine being usable as a general purpose toolkit for (ELF) Linux application, it never saw much use as that so these issues were never paid much attention.
Vim gives a consistent and quick interface to editing operations based on a set of standard keys with modifiers. But it doesn't try to be everything to everyone. "plugins" for vi, at least in the classic sense, tend to be minimal. The editor relies more on integration with the UNIX ecosystem. This makes vi unlimited in its possibilities, without having to rely on thousands of lines of lisp code, like emacs does.

How do you separate this from a more general critique of capitalism? How should capital allocation work?
That seems like a tricky rule.. what if I said “you can access this with either your data or $1000”

Learned Optimism & Explanatory Style:

- Permanence: Optimists point to specific temporary causes for negative events; pessimists point to permanent causes.

- Pervasiveness: Optimistic people compartmentalize helplessness, whereas pessimistic people assume that failure in one area of life means failure in life as a whole.

- Personalization: Optimists blame bad events on causes outside of themselves, whereas pessimists blame themselves for events that occur.

You've only failed if you stop trying.

In my case go homeless or die is what it means to fail.

edit: granted I'm not trying to split an atom or something crazy like that, but yeah. The fear of failure is always in the back of my mind.(currently means lose job/debt or generally just making an ass of myself eg. in meetings/srum/professional convo)

I'll also point out that vast swathes of cookies do not require a cookie popup, according to the European Commission's internal guidance; specifically, for their own websites, they believe that "cookies used for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication" and "cookies that are strictly necessary in order for the provider of an information society service explicitly required by the user to provide that service" do not require a cookie popup. So, for example, CSRF cookies, login cookies, and so on and so forth do not require a cookie popup.

That is - if you're building a website and using the bare minimum cookies you need to make the website function, you don't need a cookie popup. The default here is that you don't need a cookie popup, and when you start tracking users and/or selling their data, you need to comply with ePrivacy and the GDPR.
Airpods are a status symbol (somehow, even though everyone has them?) So I doubt Microsoft will get the same appeal.

Beyond emulation: the effort to reverse engineer N64 source code
VARTA.UA auto service - a revolution in the automotive services market in Ukraine

“We will turn the field of automotive services upside down, making them as convenient and affordable for car owners as possible and beneficial for those who provide them,” says the founder of VARTA.UA
If you are a car owner, then, for sure, at least once in your life you have encountered the search for a master for your “iron horse”. To do this, I had to call the same familiar motorists, look for ads in newspapers and Internet portals, ask for advice in various forums. And why was it worth traveling around most of the service stations in the area.

Fortunately, all this will be in the past, if you use the service of auto services VARTA.UA.

VARTA.UA service performs several tasks at once

Our car services exchange collected on one site data from masters of all profiles who provide services to car owners from different cities of Ukraine. Therefore, if your car is out of order, it needs an inspection or any other procedures, just leave a request on the site indicating the make of the car, year of manufacture, city and a description of the problem.

Each master of a similar profile will receive the application precisely from the required settlement or the one closest to it. He will be able to send his answer, indicating the cost, the planned lead time and other important nuances.

VARTA.UA Exchange protects both parties from any unpleasant situations by signing special agreements developed by lawyers taking into account all the nuances.

Another protection method is a special rating system. Contractors receive points thanks to customer reviews, and this clearly encourages them to complete the work on time and with the highest quality. If the customer is dissatisfied and leaves a negative comment, the rating will drop significantly.

The Surface RT was a crappy, closed device. You can put Linux on just about any Baytrail- or Cherrytrail-based device now (used to be a huge pain), and with a decent amount of RAM and GNOME3 on Wayland it's actually a very intuitive and productive tablet experience. Even the windowing UI is just as intuitive as Windows 8 if not more so: you click on an "Activities" overview as opposed to a start button, but the rest is pretty much the same.
Not really, a bunch of apps from the WinRT era are very broken under Windows 10. It’s disappointing given how much from the early 90s still works, but code from 2013 is now totally broken.
Do you remember the time when every time you wanted to copy or paste something in a word processor you would dutifully hike your mouse up to the Edit button so you could select "Copy" or "Paste", and how when you learned that CTRL+C and CTRL+V was a thing your mind was blown with how much quicker it was? Vim gives you that experience, except times a gajillion because it not only speeds up what you already do in a WYSIWYG word processor but also gives you powerful new tools to edit that have no WYSIWYG equivalent.
Most professional athletes have about 20 years of practice before peaking (maybe around 15 in sports where the athletes peak younger such as gymnastics). When you see Eliud Kipchoge or Alex Honnold's achievements in their 30s being celebrated, you don't see them at 15 years old at regional competitions being average-among-the-decent.
The inflexibility of trains can be a feature in some cases. People like to live near subway and commuter rail stations partly because they know the route and service level are much less likely to abruptly change on them than a bus route would.

We used to have a QA manager to tag team with, but they got rid of QA and we happily obliged. Once in a while you could rely on the operations/IT people for this, but we are trying to get rid of them as well.

So far this is really working out well for managers.
None.

The point is how many people care about running Linux in a VM (which is all WSL2 is) on Windows instead of running a native Unix operating system? Out of those that do care about running Linux, what is the practical difference between running Linux in a VM on Windows and Linux on a VM on Macs?
> These languages don't belong to Indo-Iranian group like every other language in Europe.

Eh, not quite: The Indo-Iranian group is one sub-branch of the Indo-European language family, and very few European languages are in that sub-branch. Further, there is at least one other non-Indo-European language in Europe: Basque, which is a linguistic isolate, with no known relationships to any other language, living or dead.
I'm actually a full stack dev with minimal exposure to what you listed above, ci/cd, docker...I'm also wondering about the opposite. Right now, our small team doesn't have a devops engineer, so I pretty much have to figure out how to do some of the devops stuff. It feels way more straightforward and less stressful than doing full stack work.
Well that's the point. US has lower regulations and more fluid employment which leads to bigger and more innovative companies. America isn't as nationally protectionist as China though, although that will now change with this pandemic.
I briefly owned a Surface Book before returning it and I agree.

The tablet experience on Windows was horrendous.

Eg: something as trivial as adjusting the display brightness required me to go into Windows settings.
You don't need to go hard core all at once. Start learning a few commands, such as "i", "a", "x", ":w", then add progressively more to your repertoire.

Whereas formerly the owner (Facebook Inc.) decided and the users had their right to free speech justly limited by FB's rules, now that is gone and the mob decides.

This is clearly damaging to FB's property rights and at the same time removes protections enjoyed by users with minority or unpopular opinions.

The NY Times is against natural human rights (freedom of speech and property) so they're celebrating. Why am I not surprised...
Then, assuming that you can evidence that you followed the guidance, and you implement the rest of the GDPR, which gives the person in question a mechanism to revoke their consent, you're pretty much definitely fine. You realise that we're not out on a witch hunt here, right?
I like how they say that if you don't want to develop in a browser, you can connect VS Code. You're still developing in a browser.
