Exactly. They keep a folder which isn't git-sync'ed (they fear the overwrites), then git pull on another folder and with graphic diff tools (e.g. Meld), they compare the changes. If they don't like the changes, they simply recopy the files from the non-sync'ed folder to the git folder and push it (a cherry pick would be too hard for them)
The tranquility he's describing would, I imagine, guide one to understand that you can't control other people's actions. And even if the wilderness around him was shrinking, he still had plenty of it.

A tranquility that kills people that harshes its buzz isn't tranquility.
Rather than health care costs being completely 100% tax deductible, you just need the health insurance premiums to be covered, and you can index the deduction against taxable income if you want.

The kicker, and this is where the US mindset gets hung-up is that you need to incentivise the insurers to cover everyone (including preexisting conditions) by making it mandatory for everyone to have health insurance so there are enough healthy people (who don't make claims) in the system to make it profitable.
Most western societies have some core values that, although often under pressure, most people generally subscribe to. Eg freedom of speech, bothsidesism, etc.

I wish we could add one to the list: if you commit violent acts, we will ignore what you said, no matter how much or how little sense it makes.

Like, there's millions of weird extreme right manifestos out there, but the one by Anders Breivik is the only recent one that got attention because he killed an island full of young politicians. This bothers the shit out of me. How can media that pretend to hold high journalistic values do this?

Same of Kaczinsky. The moment he started blowing up buildings, he lost the right to be part of the debate in my opinion.

This is basically the media version of "we don't negotiate with terrorists / kidnappers / hostage takers / etc". In each individual case, it usually does make sense to negotiate. The reason states and organizations often take the position to not negotiate by policy, is because it encourages more terrorism, kidnappings and hostage situations.

As it stands, we're actively encouraging the use of violence to amplify an argument, and this blog post takes part in that. I have no doubts about the authors good intentions, but I'm flagging it nevertheless.
The same event can affect different people differently...

e.g. if Elon Musk gets burgled, he can always just buy new stuff... but if someone whose financial circumstances are worse got burgled (like perhaps a single mother), that would affect them more, since they might not be able to afford to replace their stolen goods so easily.
If JSON is always perfect (under your control), why then using JSON and not something like Protobuf or Thrift and use byte arrays?
It’s a question of how informed buyers are as information asymmetry often works in the sellers favor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_asymmetry

In twenty years of professional Python development, I've never used eval once. I'm not saying nobody ever needs it, but it's a niche feature that the vast majority of programs can do without, and is probably not worth the tradeoff.
Lambdas are an awful limitation of Python. I find myself running into "no statements in lambdas" more often than not. I hate Python lambdas.

Money. We can argue here all day and pretend it is not money, but it is money. And I know people don't like to hear it, so it needs to be repeated. Money. With a capital M. Also applies for any regular employee.
I don't think so. What would it matter if one or the other would be correct? I think this question is philosophical masturbation in most instances. I think you will find both on either side of the political isle and also that there isn't one fundamental position on anything that determines your camp.
I've heard Walden cited in this context too?
I don’t really agree. Like I said, I don’t think you will ever get both sides of an argument there; one side will force the other out eventually. I’d rather have a proliferation of communities which are ‘censored’. Sure, have a forum for racists where non-racists get banned, whatever (although I won’t shed any tears if it gets closed down). If I want to see what racists think, I can go check it out. But I don’t want to be part of a space where I’ll regularly encounter racist stuff, and they don’t want to be part of a space where they’ll regularly encounter anti-racist stuff. Mashing me and the racists together in an anonymous arena where anything goes obviously won’t result in us all nicely debating and getting to know each other. It is not a step in the right direction.

The Lingua franca of data transfer until today is the unsigned byte array, which is understood from any major programming language existing up to today.

JSON is just an higher abstraction layer which might introduce errors.
A paywalled article like this shouldn't be on the front page. What are we supposed to do with just an abstract? The actual contents could just be the word "chicken" repeated over and over again for all we know.
Not the OP - but to my mind this is missing the point.

It would be totally unfair to criticise a piece of anarcho primitivist writing by saying "I'm not reading this, this is what Ted Kaczynski believed".

But Kaczynski murdered people to get his ideas read - I don't want that to be a way that political ideas make it into the mainstream.

If the ideas are good enough they can stand on their own two feet - plenty of not unabombers have written similar stuff so why not have articles about them?

Also I feel like the majority of political systems discourage letter bombing as a marketing technique - it's not unique to capitalism.
What's the reason for including ease of machine parsing? Aside from the fact it might make the compiler slighty easier to write I guess.

I'm sure that code that's easy for machines and humans to parse is harder for humans to parse than code where humans are the first class citizens.
I am German and you're not correct. There are several types of public insurance. If you've chosen to be a member of a Betriebskrankenkasse or Innungskrankenkasse, your insurance status is tied to your job, because that insurance is provided by your employer.

Should you lose your job you are entitled to a month or so of additional coverage called nachgehender leistungsanspruch and you can obtain public health insurance through a non jon-related public insurer.

That's why the German system is universal (you're never going to be uninsured), but the option for employer-based insurance exists and is quite popular.
I'll just reiterate that I find it quite impressive. The above just reinforces that.

I mentioned that I listen to a lot of podcasts; have been, in fact since ~2006. I've watched the evolution of the medium over the years, have seen many pods come and go, and have witnessed many content creators experiment with different methods of attaining/maintaining/interacting with listeners.

Later on, as the form started to mature and gain more of an audience, the issue of monetization became more and more important and necessary; I've seen many experiments focused on that facet as well. This was still before "podcast" had entered the vernacular for most people I would classify as tech-adjacent--the general public was still not really aware of podcasting. Those who were didn't exactly advertise their listening habits yet, and podcasts were almost like an embarrassing thing one did in private.

You've done so much correctly, at least from my observations over the years, from the get-go.

If some of your ideas come to fruition, it would be a boon to those who'd like to make a podcast of their own, especially if technical or academic in nature. I love the work you've done, appreciate the open distribution of your expanding toolkit, and also want that auto-hyperlinked footnotes a whole lot.

I am doing what I can to encourage you for two reasons. One, I am personally interested in the subject(s) being covered, and I think projects like this are needed if we aren't going to lose a lot to the mists of history in the face of accelerating acceleration, to borrow a phrase. Two, I want the tools for my project and do not possess the requisite skills to make them myself, although I'm working on it.

So, selfish but genuine encouragement...

The problem is that right and left is a bit of a strange spectrum, there are a lot of people on the right that vote for right wing policies not because of economic freedom but because they instead are deeply religious and want to enforce their religions on others...

So, I certainly wouldn't call the religious right as believing they are free and autonomous from society and their environment...

Doesn't really matter what you "believe" if it's demonstrably true that you're shaped by your environment.
Plenty of people have pointed out that changes to society create problems and even leave us worse off in terms of happiness or health or freedom etc. I'd recommend Jared Diamond on agriculture for a shorter, better written, non homicidal alternative:

https://www.discovermagazine.com/planet-earth/the-worst-mist...

But here is thing: you don't get to decide. You're whole society doesn't get to decide. You have to do what guarantees your survival, not your happiness/freedom/comfort/honour etc.

If you reject technology or agriculture or weapons, you may well be happier for a while. Then you're technological/agricultural/militaristic neighbours will come over and wipe you out.

American Indians were famously happier, healthier, freer people than European settlers. Now they're mostly gone. It's not nice, but it's reality.

> Kaczynski's manifesto functions primarily as a rationalization for his violence and anger.

this isnt an argument. either the text is sound or it isnt; either the arguments are presented clearly from first principles with evidence or theyre not. the intent or state of the writer is irrevelant.
> if you commit violent acts, we will ignore what you said

Does that also apply to the police and military?
I like tiny communities as much as anyone but I personally see no need for this to exist. Firefox might consume 2GB but it is also running hundreds of tabs. 8GB of RAM was more than enough. On Linux I rarely went over 4.5GB. Worst offenders are JVM based applications. Notably modded Minecraft can consume absurd amounts of RAM.

I'm more terrified of the average electron app or java app than I am scared of a single browser tab.
> Eddie Irvine spent 4 years as n.2 to Schumacher pretty happily, only changing teams because Jordan offered more money

I think you mean Jaguar. He moved from Jordan to Ferrari.
I haven't read the manifesto, just the article, but none of the major ideas or themes presented in it originate with the unabomber. I've read bits and pieces of these ideas from Buddhism, Bertrand Russel, Marshall McLuhan and Jared Diamond, among others.
But in this case, the buyer can buy from many other sellers, where they get the information they want.
Before Kickstarter existed I had read Brian Tinsman's The Game Inventor's Guidebook which explains how to navigate the business side of board game publishing. There's a lot of surprising hurdles a board game must pass, chief among them getting a publisher to agree to print and market your game. Kickstarter helped create an alternative path to publishing but didn't address other key takeaways from the book.

For example: the book talks about the economics of printing game components, warehousing product, and buyer price sensitivity. These all combine to create narrow bands of acceptability for game materials. Kickstarter doesn't change anything about these economics. But now there is no central publisher to steer you away from these predictable issues.

My point then, is that even fancier game components don't make good stretch goals. The high price a game can command on Kickstarter from enthusiasts won't translate to the avg shopper who sees it on a store shelf. And if you print a standard and deluxe edition of your game, you are not effectively capitalizing on Kickstarter preorders to de-risk printing, warehousing, and shipping costs.

It's best to make one game that meets the exacting demands of the Target store shelf if you want to maximize success. Exploding Kittens is probably the best example to date. And that game is not well received by the BoardGameGeek scene (for valid reasons) which highlights the disconnect between the social validation designers crave and market success.

It seems to me that the United States is more likely to be the aggressor given its record of interventionism, not to mention Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Russians and the Chinese are far more peaceful - they do not position military bases aggressively around the world, do not fund proxy armies, and do not fund countries like Saudi Arabia that are responsible for the ongoing Yemeni famine (I've refrained from touching the more contentious topics in US foreign policy). The idea that the United States is under threat, rather than the threat, is laughable.

If any country is well positioned to de-escalate a nuclear arms race, it is the United States, and this is the action that it should take.
I love these guidelines.

The 2nd one feels like the starting assumptions for a mathematical proof. Everything in the argument has to start with your values.

In most debates, people talk over each other because they haven't agreed to disagree on their value systems. They don't focus on the flow of reasoning that follows.
Thanks! Looks very promising
Covid might actually result in permanent changes. Sucks for a lot of commercial real estate companies. WeWork is probably 100% done
Why would you make this assumption? It seems perfectly reasonable to me to assume, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, that a program actually does what it claims to do.
You do not even take the time to look at a dictionary. Prolific means producing a lot. No mention of quality.

"Those of the oversocialized type, usually do not rebel against these principles but justify their hostility to society by claiming (with some degree of truth) that society is not living up to these principles"

To me this reads like a decent description of groups like SJWs and anti-fa, which resort to violence and at time suppressing the rights of others to match the model of the world they have.

"The conservatives are fools: They whine about the decay of traditional values, yet they enthusiastically support technological progress and economic growth. Apparently it never occurs to them that you can’t make rapid, drastic changes in the technology and the economy of a society without causing rapid changes in all other aspects of the society as well, and that such rapid changes inevitably break down traditional values."

I think this is roughly valid in the context of technology changes they way we live in unpredictable ways. A much better read of this is Technopoly by Neil Postman.

I tend to agree that the society critique parts read like an angry rant against society, that a structured critique. It's unfortunate these subjects don't get discussed openly (the manifesto opened a door to these topics), rather than getting them from Kaczinky.
You seem to have it backwards. The goal is to discourage future manifesto-publishers from murdering.

Just as school shootings used to be a good way to get your face on TV, murder is a good way to market your manifesto. We can fix that.
At least they should look like noise. If there was a clear pattern, that means the market doesn't work.

If a function is so long it requires multiple statements, is it really so bad to give it a name and a separate line of code from its use? Personally I'd find that clearer, even if the language didn't enforce it.

Edit: Just in case anyone isn't aware, in Python, nested named functions have precisely the same capture rules as lambdas, so it's never a problem to replace a Python lambda with a normal function (except personal preference about code style). This is particularly in contrast to JavaScript where arrow functions are so popular partly because of their different relationship with `this` to other functions. And normal nested functions defined with `def foo():` have a benefit: they have their name attached to the object, so a traceback involving it will be clearer, which isn't true for `foo = lambda ...` or `bar(fn=lambda...)`.
Why don’t you say what you disagree with and provide a criticism?
Propaganda: The Formation of Men's Attitudes by Jacques Ellul

People have a wide range of different responses to both exercise and alcohol (along with everything else). For me, exercise does feel like it helps but it also takes physical and mental resources. Also, I tend to exercise more when I have more time available, ie. when I'm less busy and under less pressure, so there's a pretty strong confounding factor involved.
Used for relaxation, alcohol is a quick-fix solution but sometimes that's what you need. A crutch is great for a few days when you've got a sprained ankle and still need to march. Just don't make it a permanent part of your life.https://coffeehero.com.au

We can have a society in which people don’t need to work hard, and all our material needs are satisfied. That would be much preferable to the current one, in which much of the population lives precariously, stressfully and frustrated.

If you avoid other sugars in your diet, in particular added sugars like the ones you can find in pastries, syrups, etc., I'd say that by consuming a moderate amount of fruits every day you're safe.

Grape or grape juice contain also fibers, that regulate many effects of sugars.

But if you really want to play safe, at the cost of more energy-intensive processing to produce it, you can go for resveratrol supplements in capsules.

I agree with your sentiment but you're arguing to the wrong audience. This is the same place that, despite any real evidence, has a user base that aggressively defended the usage of hydroxychloroquine.

Perhaps it's a simple matter of Trump Cultism being able to infect any audience, but more likely I would bet it's an insidious anti-science. When you think so highly of yourself (as many HN posters do) as to ignore the recommendations of experts and insist that your pet theory is correct, you are also much more likely to entertain someone like the Unabomber.

Here's the HN way of saying what I want to say:

The striking part of this passage, to me, is that Kaczynski deprived innocent people of the very tranquility that he valued and sought for himself. He sought his own form of peace despite causing generalized anxiety for millions of Americans, and suffering for those who lost loved ones or were themselves injured.

There could have been no peace or tranquility in that man's mind, because peace and tranquility are not consistent with actions like his. Violence, impulsivity, and narcissism are not peaceful and tranquil traits.

Here's the Reddit way of saying what I want to say:

I sometimes do computer forensics for clients and you can be sure that you leave traces. You'd need to wipe out the area of the disk over and over again to fully remove it (sometimes it'll still remain despite that, for undisclosed reasons).
The lines on tranquility are great.

I will note that Ted Kaczynski was thought by at least one forensic psychiatrist[0] to have schizoid personality disorder[1], and that this seeking after tranquility is a very schizoid trait.

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

[1] N.B. Not schizophrenia. The two are not really as alike as their names suggest: one is a psychosis, the other's a personality disorder. He was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia at the time of his trial, but two prison psychiatrists later described this as 'ridiculous' and a 'political diagnosis'.
