From the linked article, a juicy tidbit:

"Jungle Destroyer

The Morrow Project purchased two of these as driver training vehicles, and for heavy load carrying -- though also because the manufacturer had them "lying around" -- SAC had tested them in the late 1950s for clearing crashed bombers from runways in a hurry. The same width as the Overland Train (5.25 meters), these are 17.5 meters long and 5 meters tall (over the blade-lifting arm) -- 3.4 meters from the ground to the cargo deck. Weighing 50 tons unloaded, they can carry 95 tons of cargo. Similarly to the Control Car of the Overland Train, the four rear wheels are not steered; all shock-absorbing is from the low pressure tires.

When purchased by the Project, these were powered by a 600 HP Cummins diesel, driving an electrical generator; the Project removed the diesel engine and generator, and installed a fusion reactor. "

----

.. ummm .. what? A fusion reactor? Like, nuclear powered jungle destroyer? That is bonkers.

Glad these things didn't make it out of the Armys' toy box. Imagine what the world would be like if we had fusion-powered jungle destroyers on the market ..

Among people I know, grandparent living in the same city taking care of child when parents cant is quite normal. It is not thought as "raising the child", but more of as helping to parents.
Yeah... that's very rare.
No.

For example, HubSpot runs a multitenant system. URLs look like:

https://app.hubspot.com/section/$ACCOUNT_ID/etc/etc

In the simple, YAGNI implementation of this, when you create a new HubSpot account, most likely that will insert a new row into the accounts table, and the auto generated ID of that row will be your account ID. Therefore you need uniqueness to be enforced at that level.

If you want to start running a separate copy of the system, you need to refactor the system to move that sequence out of the database so that two different customers running on different clusters don't end up with the same account ID. This is just an example, but there are many problems like this that are caused by the assumption that the production system is a single unique system.

Nothing I said suggested he hasn't learned a thing or two.

My comment was regarding this portion:

> I fear this outcome, so we've always shied away from adding such a system. We do want to be transparent, and we answer whatever questions people ask, but it feels safer to do it ad hoc as questions come up. There's no specific question you can't get an answer to, other than a few special cases like how HN's anti-abuse software works.

> There's an opportunity cost issue too. The vast majority of the community is pretty happy with how we do things—I know that because if they weren't, we'd never hear the end of it, and then we'd say sorry and readjust until they were. I think it makes more sense to do things to keep the bulk of the community happy, or make them happier, than to pour potentially all our resources into placating a small minority—especially since, once you've done this job for a while (say, a week) you know that nothing you do will ever be completely right or please everyone.

Do we deny that peer pressure or herd behavior exists in the real world? Perhaps they are less powerful in forums, but the idea that they do not exist at all seems fairly extraordinary. If every comment a person makes is downvoted, or they are accused of racism or being responsible for widespread manslaughter, and disagreeing with such claims results in discipline for starting a flamewar and nothing for the bully with an overactive imagination, should it be surprising that most people fall in line? What does history tell us about people conforming to societal norms?

Everything is perfect, or not, or somewhere in between. But anyone who claims to have accurate knowledge of how it is because of what they observe, has at least a thing or two still remaining to learn about the nature of reality.

I'm a basic/intermediate vim user for about 8 years now and I implore you to stop talking about vim like this. You overcomplicate basic vim and make it sound all esoteric when it isn't but people who haven't gotten through vimtutor will probably read your comment and just reinforce the belief that vim has a steep learning curve and is probably not worth learning.

Also, try vim mode in VSCode before stating that it's not really mature enough and you're better off with vanilla vim. I am certain you haven't and are operating on the mistaken assumption that vim modes are not mature enough

Bullying has always been a problem. Sometimes its physical, but its always mental. The child who is ostracized is bullied too.

Now, in the virtual world, children find it follows them home too. Even if a child is offline after school, they hear all about what was said about them when they get back to school in the morning.

Where I live, there are good speakers who pass through all the schools, talking separately to the children and to the parents. Their descriptions and explanations made me realise that my mental model of what bullying is or how it works was inaccurate.
My first run-in with vi was on the Amiga, Aztec C bundled this "vi-like" editor called Z, I thought I'd try it out without reading the docs. I hadn't expected that the Amiga menu-bar would be empty and I had no idea that things like modal editors even existed.

I suspect Starlink modems upload their coordinates. The modem would also need to know its correct GPS location to operate, they mechanically orientate themselves, so faking a GPS signal would not be enough. You would need to modify the firmware.

Inclusivity of editors is a major factor for inclusivity of content.

Different demographics have different interests, experiences, and knowledge. It's trivially obvious that getting a broader subset of society to contribute will also broaden the content.

With less than 10% of editors being women, for example, content is guaranteed to be somewhat skewed, even assuming absolutely no ill will by anybody.

Among the famous examples are a scientist's entry being deleted as "not notable" just weeks before she won the Nobel Prize. Or, if you prefer quantitative data, that articles about women tend to emphasise their relationships and children (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1501.06307v2.pdf).

It is also whether you are so overworked and tired that you cant think of kids problems vs you had time to think through kids behavior and figure out there is an issue. It is whether you are isolated in bubble of own head or whether you get to meet variety of people to understand how society works and have experience with it.

It is whether you are high confidence and mentally ok to discuss issues with kids friends parents, or whether you are low confidence on end of rope generally so you cant (or botches it).

I mostly refer to the fact that org-mode isn't a complete system - it lacks many integrations. It is, in every article I read, an excuse to faff about with configuring things.

In fact that's pretty much the start of every org mode article - "here's how to change your config file"

(There's nothing wrong with that - I totally enjoy it for some things. I just need a workflow now, not when I've put all the pieces together)

And the "remapping central keys"/"completely different ways of inputting commands" is exactly the faffing about I refer to as well. I know I can customize it to my heart's content. I've done that. I've written way too much elisp. I don't want to any more. I want something that works for me, as out-of-the-box as possible. Many SaaS offerings do.

It's not to say you shouldn't use org mode if it works for you. But I'm not "going to give it a try" if I have a solution that works right now. Nope. Thanks. I have things I'd rather do.

Yea, the original intent of js was to write small snippets of code to stitch HTML together.

"Q16.16" seems to refer to fixed floating point precision (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_(number_format)). The parent comment is unhappy that SOD doesn't support floats with 16 integer bits and 16 fractional bits.

> Same deal with haggling in the developing world.

This bugs me too. I’m from a developing world but have a well paying job thanks to IT. It’s quite funny seeing colleagues haggle with auto rickshaw (three wheeled taxis) for 10Rs ($0.12) but part with 200Rs at Starbucks for a coffee without batting an eyelid.

Not that I wasn’t like this before, but once the severity of income inequality hit me I stopped doing such pity things. It’s not that I’m doing it out of charity but rather the whole situation reeks of injustice so it’s my way of respecting their dignity of labor.
Right now you can click File > Swift Packages > Add Package Dependency and let SPM handle it for you without thinking. I know not every package supports SPM yet but it's clearly the path forward and something everyones working towards. I think the other point I've found doing both web and iOS is you don't need any dependencies to get started on iOS, a hello world app is as straightforward as opening XCode, creating a new project and plugging in your phone.

It's fine, not great.
In windows processes have an access control list, just like file permissions. MsMpEng.exe (and other sometimes other critical system processes and antivirus scanners etc) can't be killed because only system has permission, not administrators.
Process Explorer allows you to view and modify a process access control list (if you have permission).

If you use psexec to run process explorer as system, then you can get into the access control list of these processes and add permission for administrator (or just kill them from there...)
If there's one comment I think the CEO ought to take to heart, it's this.

I'm sure the CEO has been taught that good leadership means fessing up when you've screwed up, and to an extent that's true. But it's also an act of ego to assume full responsibility. Ego got them into this mess, most likely, and it will not get them out of it.

The CEO needs to realize there was a systemic failure. It's not just about him having an epiphany – it's about surrounding himself with people, processes, and values that can help keep a runaway product idea from breaking their customer base ever again.
I wish I could say the same, but nearly half of the teams I've worked with on web development go exclusively with .js because it's been pushed by prominent members of the React community for "ergonomics"[0] (which here is just a fancy way of saying devs can't be bothered to invest the two seconds it takes to make file extensions accurate when switching to a superset language)
