> Because it would help if we were closer to talking about the same thing when talking about a subject

I'll just quibble with this and say that if we're talking about US politics then we are talking about the same thing when we speak of the "left" in the US, because that's what it is regardless of the state of the rest of the world.

I also am not sure there is much value in arguing about how much more "left" some countries are. The fundamentals aren't really different until you talk about communists (and if that's what you're talking about, I abhor communism and don't want that in my country). If you're talking about universal healthcare for example, you're not really talking about something radically different between "more left countries" like the colloquial Sweden, it's just a matter of degree of difference.

Words hurt a lot. People might downplay then but there's a psychology of silence associated with prejudicial words. Not everybody sees it or cares but the focus should always be to remove these obstacles to target inclusion. If this requires an extra code review cycle to remove prohibited words then just do it already.

The cult of JRE fans helped give its popularity another boost, but in reality, what other league are you going to watch save a different fight sport like boxing? People like to huddle around the cooler and focus on one league (See: NFL, MLB, NBA). That's not to say WNBA or XFL don't exist, but think about the multiplier of games you'd have to keep track of with your friends for all of them.

> On the other hand, the productivity and expressiveness return on investment is huge. Spring is arguably the state of the art framework on the server and is integrated with so many powerful technologies.

Having worked with Spring for years (and still working with it, unfortunately), I have found exactly the opposite.

It does way too much dynamically, making debugging hard and rendering the type-system almost useless.

Sure, it comes with a lot of libraries for handling a large varieties of tasks, but they all seem to be half-assed, and much of the time I either have to work around their limitations or write something myself anyway.

I really don't see why the same thing couldn't have been achieved by writing a bunch of useful libraries that don't depend on a dependency injection framework (which I also don't find much value in).

Finally, it takes forever to startup, making testing a pain. It even means that JUnit tests are slow.
> Beauty might be the single greatest physical advantage you can have in life.

Oh for God's sake, some people are born without eyes.

> Attractive people might have a hard time coming to terms with all of this. Doing so would require relegating at least part of their achievements to something mostly unearned.

No one deserves anything. The idea falls apart as soon as we even begin to examine it. I could walk into the woods and build a hut out of mud and sticks. Did I "earn" that mud hut, or was I privileged to be born with hands? Does the fact that most people are born with hands matter? If so, how can we quantify how it matters?

At the end of the day, none of this makes any sense, and we need to come up with notions of "success" (socially speaking) and "property rights" (legally speaking) that are based on something else.
I disagree entirely. I see people being lifted up. In that story, people were torn down.

I have noticed this trend though, of reacting to justice movements by claiming it'll tear down people. Why do you believe this?
An example I remember from the book was about locating a sunken submarine. The 'experts' related to submarine/naval stuff were all briefed together on the problem and were asked to think about it independently and then their individual ideas were brought together in some fashion. Their composite proposal ended up being very successful.

That example from the book was meant to illustrate (as I understood it) that you can aggregate individual thoughts on complex subjects and arrive at a useful conclusion that may be closer to the truth than any individual alone.

I shared my comment in response to a claim that brainstorming is a waste of time. It is definitely the case that certain ways to aggregate people's thoughts (e.g. "groupthink") can be worse than having a well-informed individual solve the problem. What I believe _is_ possible is to combine ideas of a group of people to get better results that choosing just a few "smart" individuals to make the decision.

A far analogy is the voting system in the US. Because we don't have Approval Voting or RCV / IRV (Ranked Choice Voting / Instant Runoff Voting) we now have a 2 party system where 3rd parties can have deleterious effects. The way you aggregate REALLY matters.
If the purpose of your website is to get people to sign up for the trail of your SaaS product, then you have very different reactions to "ten people looked at my product once and one signed up" vs "one person looked at my product ten times before finally signing up." In the first case, you work on improving your landing page. In the second case, you let people sign up for an email newsletter.

How is that supposed to fallback? Theres nothing there.
concretely, how much does the sentiment of retail investors actually matter to prices -- in general for the whole market, and for specific stocks that dumb retail investors get excited about (Tesla, Hertz, or whatever)?

I have no idea what the answer to this question is or even how to formulate it in a clear, answerable way. But it seems very important!

It seems that stock prices move, newspapers publish a narrative to explain it, but in many cases there is no way to tell whether the narrative is correct or not. Right now there is a narrative about Robinhood and other no-fee brokers, but is it true?
"He" is not a for-profit corporation, but a human person. Corporations aren't people no matter how much dollars go into PR efforts to tell people otherwise. As such, them not paying their part to the society is damaging no matter how many personal appeals you do.

Please stop humanizing corporations to make them get away with not paying their part.
Wouldn't a Rust interpreter solve this issue?

Yes, correct. I did the study with June numbers using regular GA and regular Plausible. Plausible was not on any blocklists until yesterday from what I have learned in this thread.
It's like saying only one cylinder of a four-cylinder engine is 'working' at any given time. Technically true in a way, but somewhat misleading.

1. I don't really know how to answer this to you other than with "arithmetic."

2. Have you read the entire article? There is the "relative" part. Elephant's brain-to-body mass ratio is 1:560. And yes, brain size is important. Some small birds have 1:12 brain to body ratio, but that doesn't make them smarter than us.
Isn't that true of almost every crypto protocol, though? As I mention, this kind of stuff is absolutely routine. Free software protocols, open source protocols, standardized protocols, proprietary protocols.

I get that crypto is hard (again, the messup in the central criticism in the linked article is a great existence proof). I don't get why you feel like taking potshots at GNU in particular is justified except to flog your personal political agenda.
That does seem abnormal, you should see a doctor.
On (2), how do we know elephants aren't more intelligent than us, but along some entirely different axis from the ones on which we excel?

Obligatory: https://xkcd.com/638/

Of course on the contrary brain size may not matter much at all. Crows can count and display many other signs of shocking intelligence despite having tiny brains. Crows may be smarter than elephants, but if so then why would evolution select elephants to have all that extra worthless metabolic load? Brain matter is costly in both energy consumption and nutrients required to grow it. It's unlikely that elephants would have hypertrophied brains if all that brain matter were doing nothing.

At the end of the day I think crows and elephants show us how much we don't know.

We never talk about it? Seems for a long time it's all we talked about. You don't have to go very far online without running into somebody ranting about the privileges that beauty brings, and people with that privilege talking about how it's not a silver bullet to life's problems and brings with it it's own challenges.

> Those who do not have beauty, end up compensating for it by exceeding in some other trait

Unless you're not intelligent either. Or don't have the socioeconomic advantages of a good education. Or are a poor athlete. And, of course, there are people who are all of these things. Being beautiful does not mean you cannot excel in other traits.

Everyone does not start equal. People's genetics and the circumstances of their birth are causes of inequality. It does not end up balanced.

It's hard to parse your take, I think the phrase 'security' must be overloaded.

I currently have a mix of both. Mostly shared but some dedicated for only the ones who absolutely needs it (majorly due to regulatory restrictions).

Interesting. I am currently building a personal self-hosted knowledge base program that uses ElasticSearch to find and organize your data but is also synced into your filesystem with markdown files. So you create a new file in your data/ dir and it will automatically create a new search index that you can view in the software's ui.

It also allows you to have bookmarks where it actually downloads the contents of the bookmarked webpage to make sure it's preserved on your own system.
I don't have a link on hand, but I posted about this recently in an HN article about Fathom.

There is an ePrivacy Directive ammendment that specifically prohibits the use of hashing identifiers (e.g. IP address, browser, OS) to work around cookies, even it a timestamp is introduced to limit the life of a hashed ID.

I'm a privacy advocate myself, yet find this a bit OTT - but that's the ePrivacy regulations, and I think Plausible could get burned here at some point. Presumably they know about this amendment and are betting that there will be no enforcement, or their lawyers have found a weasel-wordy loophole (I doubt the later, as the directive is very specific).

Just because you have a garbage collector doesn't mean you don't have to worry about memory management. I've see too many problems pop up because people don't understand how memory is managed in their GC'd language.

I'm going to discuss mental models in a separate comment because they're actually more interesting and this comment is getting too long.

---Succinct argument---

What happens if you remove the flag? Put differently, how much does the flag change the semantics?

`git branch newbranch` will gracefully fall back to creating a new branch at HEAD.

`git checkout newbranch` will fail (error: pathspec 'newbranch' did not match any file(s) known to git), because the regular version of the command involves operating on something that already exists.

---Less succinct further argument---

checkout's `-B` variant. Here's how the man page explains it:

> If -B is given, <new_branch> is created if it doesn’t exist; otherwise, it is reset. This is the transactional equivalent of
>
> $ git branch -f <branch> [<start point>]
> $ git checkout <branch>

If it were a flag on branch, you wouldn't need a separate flag, just `git branch -fs newbranch` (-s for --switch).

Actually, looking through the man page for `checkout` now, I see 4 other options I didn't know about (-t|--track, --no-track, --guess, --no-guess), apparently for the sole purpose of being used with -b.

---

I don't think I thought of this argument when I originally chatted in #git-devel, maybe I'll give it another try.
"Six years is just stupid" doesn't make sense?
It depends, we have the dumb blond stereotype and I know of developers who are attractive and have a harder time interviewing because they get perceived as dumber. It could be that there's an unconscious bias of hiring someone that looks like a stereotypical movie hacker (long hair, beard, wearing old tech swag, etc). This is of course changing slowly after Apple made a push on cleaning up the image of all the higher ups to have them be part of the presentations and now all companies seem to hire PR consultants that work the appearance of their clients. You sort of see this aesthetic trickle down with time.

> then finally _extinguishing_ them because it’s still a bit $%#= and if they develop for Linux they’ll end up transitioning.

I didn't understand that part of the sentence. "WSL is still a bit $%#=" (scuffed?) "and if they develop for Linux they'll end up transitioning" (because WSL is scuffed compared to just running Linux?) - not sure...

Anyway, I was on Windows for most of my career. In 2010 when I got interested in Node.js it still didn't run very well on Windows. Having only ever used Linux seriously as a server and having tried unsuccessfully many times to keep a Linux desktop running, I wasn't ready to switch. So, back then, Node.js was just for side projects.

Fast forward 5-6 years and most of my projects are now SPAs with a .NET backend. Node.js is running okay on Windows, but package management with NPMs thousands of little files is just slow on Windows. Despite that, I transition to doing more and more backends with Node. I stick with Windows.

Forward another 2 years and I'm finally sick of the Windows tax with regards to Node and NPM. I'll never move to a Mac as my main machine since they can't even get window management and other basic facilities right and I hate the hardware lock-in, so I figure I'll try a Linux desktop yet again. This time I find many people hailing Manjaro Linux as the distro that is the least maintenance desktop. So, I installed it on one laptop using the default XFCE desktop environment, which I never really tried before.

Holy cow! I used to have to fight with Windows to make it this minimalist! XFCE actually does Windows better than Windows. Out of the box it lets me re-order windows on the taskbar and right-click to close them (a feature I had to install 7+ taskbar tweaker to get on Windows). Oh and the file explorer (Thunar) has tabs and so does the terminal! I can also control the whole OS GUI with just a keyboard, just like in Windows. I got all the major software I need - Chrome, VS Code, Thunderbird, Slack, Beyond Compare, Remote Desktop (FreeRDP) - and now I get to use all the famed Linux tools without any issue at all.

Within three months I had installed Manjaro on my main workstations both at work and at home and I've been running it for over 2 years now. It's actually way less maintenance than any Windows machine I've ever had. There's just so much less crap to fight against, like forced updates downloading and installing, slowing down my machine right in the middle of my so-called "active hours". I used to spend hours researching how to force Windows to do exactly what I want to do by setting various group policies, registry entries and so forth - now I only do that minimally for my gaming and home entertainment machines. I'm so happy!

iptables has been supplanted by nftables; though it's not as highly scalable as pf and uses a lot of iptables terminology.

I begrudge the notion though, that desiring something like pf is because you primarily want a firewall box; the syntax is much cleaner and ultimately the performance is better (without bolt-ons like conntrack).

For example these are basic firewalls with rate limiting

> “I’m not sure what will trigger a sustained sell-off in stocks, but surging [virus] infections and another round of more business closures will be difficult for investors to ignore much longer.”

An alternative place to put investments will trigger it. When your options are savings accounts paying 0.25% interest, and treasury notes paying nothing, and CD's being garbage, what are your alternatives for investing? If interest rates were 5%+ on savings/CDS's/Treasury notes then you would see a bunch of money move from stocks to these other safer more stable investments. But the safety/stability doesn't mean shit if the return is near 0.

This debate is stupid. No one understands what is going on in modern geopolitics of the middle east -- including policy czars, and especially your or I. Probably not even the US government. These are gigantic state sponsored operations with foreign governments (e.g Russia), militant organizations.

As an example -- consider that ISIS was shipping ~$160 million in crude oil via smuggling routes to China. Even with all our power, it is not trivial to track such things.

What I am saying is that there are interests here that are enormous and impossible to understand.. some not even based upon nation-state and totally a-political.

The fact that you believe you have a definitive assessment regarding the gas attacks reveals your naivete.

The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.
