Now is a good time to think that the code you write today might live forever and in that context stop writing bad code for employers and instead write good code for people.

Good code runs on both Windows on X86 and Linux on ARM.

Good code can hot-deploy. Good code is fast!

For me that means Java SE on the server and C+ (C syntax with string, stream and objects for project organization only) on the client.

HTML, CSS and JS is ok for GUIs only, everything else should be native with command line!

If your security legislation is often declared partly illegal by the Verfassungsgericht (latest [1]), you leave the impression of reaching too far by default.

If your courts do not declare (too far reaching) laws illegal, you leave the impression to have been right in your demands.

I know that all vaccines are different, the thing I take issue with is using HIV as evidence that a vaccine for this virus might take decades to develop, despite all the current evidence to the contrary.

> The more deadly a virus is, the faster it does burn out. It runs out of hosts to infect or everyone develops an immunity. SARS/MERS may have had lower outbreaks because of how much more dangerous they were.

At what point is the virus going to "run out of hosts to infect" or reach a point where "everyone develops an immunity"? Everything I've read from epidemiologists seems to indicate we're a long ways away from that. We're not going to get a free pass from herd immunity anytime soon (https://covid19-projections.com/us estimates that the US is at 8.4% total infection so far), and we can't count on it just burning itself out. It's a bad combination, where it's not deadly enough to quickly burn itself out like SARS/MERS, but has a death rate higher than something like the flu, and is very transmissible.

> The cases are going up, but the fatalities are not, indicating there may be a lot of over-counting

I'm very skeptical of the over-counting claim, without evidence. And I don't think it's quite true to claim that fatalities are not going up. The 7-day rolling average of deaths in the US has been climbing since around July 5th.
So "open, like a gate" not "open, like a public resource".

"Trailers" in trailer parks are not portable like a caravan or recreational vehicle.

They are full modular homes that are delivered by truck, yes, so they're initially on a trailer. But once they are "installed" they are full homes. They can't be moved on a whim, it would cost thousands of dollars to relocate a trailer home.

In other words, it's just a factory-built home that's delivered via truck in one piece.

Think of like a nice three bedroom apartment, that's what a brand new mobile home would get you. You can also get doublewides that are delivered on two trailers and put together into one home.
Here's an example:

Mobile homes can be built on an owned plot of land, or on rented space ("trailer parks").

Mobile homes may be one of the best values in America in terms of comfortable, detached living at a low cost. The idea that people in mobile homes live in squalor seems to me to be somewhat discriminatory.

I predict it wouldn't be as fun as it might initially sound. NPC dialog is part of level design just like all the rest of the level it occurs on. With few exceptions (such as roguelikes), random level generation tends to produce bland cookie-cutter levels; I don't see why dialog would be any different. The reason it's fun to talk to NPCs in a game like Chrono Trigger or FF7 is because someone put the work in to make their dialog interesting and relevant and fun.

Where I could see it working better would be for e.g. newspaper headlines in a grand-strategy or SimCity-like game. When you do something crazy like have Lichtenstein conquer Western Europe, it could be funny to have some auto-generated commentary on said crazy state of affairs.
I wish this sentiment were even stronger when it comes to screenshots, e.g. screenshots of purportedly deleted tweets/articles. As we get closer to deepfake-video-on-demand becoming a thing, I'm still astonished at how the vast majority of people don't understand how trivial it is to create pixel-perfect fake web content. My default response to a screenshot is to assume it's faked unless there's an accompanying Wayback Machine/archive.today URL.
That's also a good reason for news orgs to have strict policies around never taking down articles or changing URLs. It happens enough to give cover to the behavior you cite.

About five or six years ago I spent a long time making outrageous claims on Reddit, and I'd wrap various parts of it in link tags. The links would go to random nytime articles, random papers, or simply nowhere at all. Then I'd watch as the outrageous claim propagated (this in niche communities). It was absolutely terrifying.

I never, ever got called out.

EDIT: I'm remembering now I'd pretend to be all sorts of people, swapping hats within minutes, always waiting for someone to just pop open my post history and see that at one moment I'm a teacher and 5 minutes later a firefighter. It was kind of a joke, kind of an experiment, kind of an angsty setting-of-fire to the internet.

This should go for almost everything written in a newspaper. We all know about the the intentional spin and unintentional failure to understand technical topics but, when written in a newspaper, hearsay is treated as factual secondary source.

Question for anyone familiar with this type of work: would nearby submarine traffic be detectable using this technique?
That's not true at all. The rulings of the German Constitutional Court are extremely important (at the very least compared to almost all other Constitutional Courts in the world) and have very real consequences. Just one example: The recent PSPP Judgement had the potential to end the Euro. It didn't but if the Court had ruled in a slightly different way (which would have been within it's Constitutional Powers) the Bundesbank wouldn't have followed the orders of the ECB anymore which would have had unbelievable consequences for the Eurozone.

The fact that the Court tries not to do something like that is because it is also a political actor searching for stability.
furthermore, calling for citations is primarily an expression of disbelief, not a furthering of discussion.

either the argument was indeed faulty, in which case the responder should call out the weakness directly, or the responder has no specific objection but wants simply to object. it's lazy and should be discouraged (e.g., downvoted). another lazy response is providing links without summarizing the linked content, but i digress.

citations can buttress but never make an argument.

this of course is different from the memes that the author seems to be targeting, which don't make sound arguments in the first place, and no citation will make them rational. it's best to simply ignore those.
> Although this virus has killed many, the risk factor for it is nowhere near high enough to warrant an emergency vaccine.

> there's a good chance this virus will burn out in our population long before a truly safe vaccine comes to market.

That's the reason for the down-votes, and for once I think it's actually appropriate. The rest of the post was fine, but those are some wildly controversial - if not completely incorrect and reckless - assumptions to make. For one, it's too early to make definitive statements like these. As far as I know, public health experts have made it well known the risk factor is enormously high and so it's worth being proactive than reactive. Clearly there's an enormous amount of effort in getting an emergency vaccine out and I would think for good reason. Nobody on HN is qualified to make statements on this, especially if they're not actively studying this disease or they're not a public health expert.

> The term “capitalist” was not coined by critics of capitalism

The term “capitalist” for people who control capital was not, the term “capitalism” for a politicoeconomic system (from which comes “capitalist” in its other sense of an advocate/defender of that system, or, as an adjective, pertaining to that systemas, opposed to labelling a particular economic class) was.

> It is, of course, logically invalid to claim that because slavery was practiced in countries that happened to be capitalist, that slavery is capitalist.

It would.be, but that's not the argument. Early modern chattel slavery evolved alongside capitalism, was imposed exclusively by capitalist powers, and reflects the apotheosis of the capitalist commodification of labor from the mutualism of feudal relations, even beyond wage-labor, and the evolution beyond capitalism in the direction, if not by the means, advocated by critics like Marx that led to the modern mixed economy displacing the system for which “capitalism” was coined began with abolition of slavery.

Early modern chattel slavery (not slavery more generally, such as feudal or ancient patriarchal slavery, including serfdom) was a distinctly and exclusively capitalist institution.

> It's so bad in the UK they've stopped reporting fatality numbers due to issues with the data.

If the UK where really serious about the actual covid death toll they should address the huge discrepancy between the reported covid deaths and the excess mortality during the pandemic. Not a good look for the UK.
It was because I was primarily thinking about reddit when I was posting and only after posting did I consider that someone might think I meant on this site. So I decided to immediately edit to clarify any potential confusion, as I do honestly find this place to have one of the best chances of 'good faith' discussions happening.

That isn't to say discussions here are perfect. Sometimes I do find people will stereotype or strawman my argument, but I find it happens less here than in any other site and to enough of an extent I don't find it influencing my discussions.

I hate this attitude that one cannot be bothered to do a thing that is universally good, unless it's convenient, easy, and painless.

I am an espresso "snob", whatever that word means. I have had a lot of espresso in many places, from excellent to very bad. There's a wide range of good-enough which Nespresso consistently hit, and thus I have forsaken my quest to grind my own beans and be my own barista. Nespresso is better than many high-end coffee shops as well as fine dining establishments, surprising to me.
Its not stupid. Its a new vaccine, to treat a new virus thats is in a class of virus thats never had a vaccine.

if that makes any sense?

the yearly flu vaccines are tweaks to an already understood vaccine, (minor releases) Sometimes there are major releases but thats for a jab that targets a different class of flu (h5n1 vs h1n2)

this is an entirely new vaccine, for a virus that has never had a vaccine, so its more like a v1.0 release on a new platform.

Don't Gödel's incompleteness theorems show that this approach is impossible even for a domain as simple as arithmetic?
This is a very good and important point. In a good year, if we can convince 40% of the eligible population to get a flu shot, imagine the challenge to get the >= 60% coverage needed to confer herd immunity. Just having a good, safe vaccine available isn’t enough. We have to convince an unusually large number (compared to influenza) of people to get vaccinated, and I worry about how hard that will be.

In the province of New Brunswick, Canada, many many homes have been (and still are) using electric baseboard heating even in midst of winter, often with less than ideal insulation in the house. Upgrading to a ductless/mini-split heat pump is seen as a pretty good option to reduce the electrical grid's load from heating, so much so that rebates have been offered by the government-owned electrical utility for people to upgrade.
Not all people are going to get infected. One result of the Heinsberg study in Germany was that living together with an infected person only resulted in ~43% chance of infection. With more people living together the chance even went down to 18%.
