Or, maybe the whole impetus behind the free software movement isn't wacko bullshit after all...

We had a solution and everyone pissed on it because the misinformed and perhaps intellectually lazy lawyers and leaders and yes even engineers convinced everyone that the GPL was unfit for a capitalist society.

“Was” is admittedly unfair because free software is not actually dead. It’s just popularly dead. If this type of crap actually outrages you, it’s not GDPR that we need (it makes no sense if you think about it, too), it’s smarter consumers and more courageous engineers/leaders. Go speak with your feet and use free software products. And help breath life into a culture that has been wounded by greed.

Lysthub is an innovative platform aimed at creating an intersection between data and popular opinion. We create lysts that defy the traditional "Top 10 List" mold of the internet by breaking up each item into weighted attributes. We then rely on the voice of public opinion to compare items in head-to-head matchups to determine our rankings. Our data is 100% crowd-sourced and 100% in real-time. We are interested in rankings subjective topics that typically spark debate in every day conversation.

Would appreciate your feedback on the website concept and the user experience.
Established older musicians hated The Beatles.
This is really what does it for me. Name, eh, ok. Deliberately choosing other names to retain the 'joke', that's pushing it a bit but not a real deal breaker personally.

But straight up using homophobic slurs because of an API change? Apparently random racial slurs in comments? Why? Someone deliberately choose those specific words, they don't bring any benefit to the program, and they really are not something I would want to be associated with as a contributor.

I think the words people choose to convey information say a lot about what is floating near the top of their mind. Who seriously comes up with 'sluts' as their first choice to name an array of women?
> This is apples and oranges. You listed hard good sales - imports (even if actually manufactured in China in the case of Apple).

How much do you think China makes on an iPhone? Most of the pricey parts are imported into China and just because the assembly happens in China doesn’t truth make it “made” in China.

Even if you take lower margin brands like KFC, the US interests essentially rent-seek on that brand usage.

You have to also understand that China is the economic underdog. In order to rise out of poverty they have to have some form of protectionist policies (which are not unique to China, as Japan also has heavy protectionist policies despite an already strong economy) or they’d be trampled by established foreign multinational giants.

One country is a well to-do suburban college educated kid and the other is a poor high school dropout from the inner city. Their competition in the market would not be “fair” as their starting points would be unequal.

That being said protectionist policies aren’t all good. They are a tradeoff that they chose to make and why they ended up with defective domestically produced infant baby formula, crappier internet search engines (which lead to wechat dominance), etc, whole local companies played slow catch up.

Using the equals sign for long options has become convention, but using the equals sign for short options is very unusual.

I find "-c blue" the most intuitive of the possibilities. It does mean that you can't have an optional argument for short options.

A little necro-posty on my part, but I think this is worth mentioning:

I'm an American from a white Midwestern family born in the mid-80s. I can tell you that in my upbrining things like "time out" or being sent to my room or being forced to apologize when I hit someone were part of the techniques used to help teach me how to control my anger and be pleasant to people. From my observations, these things were being taught in school as well as reinforced at home. This is part of how my culture taught me how to control my anger.

However, I know that other people with different backgrounds may have had other punishments (physical abuse, being made to write out their feelings, etc). There are all sorts of social skills that cultures value and try to pass on. "How to behave when you're angry" is at the very top of that list.

I promise you, there are cultural differences between how you were taught to handle anger as a child and those of people raised in different backgrounds. They just don't seem novel to you. Without knowing more, I can't point to specific examples but the larger point is that cultures pass on social skills, not just language.
Does comparing the total always make sense? How about we take the average? Twice the amount means each Chinese person emit about 1/5 greenhouse of an American does. Man are created equal and Chinese people have the equal right to emit for their own prosperity

Reminds me of some downplay of China’s progress by looking at averages
> Go is a pretty good programming language. I have long held that this is not attributable to Google’s stewardship, but rather to a small number of language designers and a clear line of influences which is drawn entirely from outside of Google — mostly from Bell Labs. pkg.go.dev provides renewed support for my argument: it has all the hallmarks of Google crapware and none of the deliberate, good engineering work
that went into Go’s design.

Putting aside the criticisms, I think a new word is needed to describe anti-Google sentiment of this flavor. The idea that Google is incapable of doing anything positive, so anything “good” coming out of Google must be attributable to influences outside of Google.

I’d like to think about it as a “no true Googler” argument. The Go team are not true Googlers, because they produce something useful. When they built that module proxy however, they were clearly so doing as Googlers. (As someone who works at Google, I can humorously imagine that when I’m acting as a true Googler, my only goal is to foist new crapware onto the world, get promoted, and kill it off.)

Or maybe we recognize that companies are collections of individuals, and all individuals bring their own history and influences. The culture shapes them and they shape it back. Playing semantic games to divide and attribute isn’t useful.
Yea, I've only had two takehome projects that I can recall, and neither led to an offer, so it's not clear to me where they fit in a one-site-fits-all hiring funnel.

> Your setup sounds outrageously complex, and I don't understand why you would do any of that

But isn't that similar to what virtualenv does?
The differences are that with virtualenv, folders are created elsewhere.

Besides that, friction so far hasn't enough for me to automate this even more (as in, creating a script that would do the folder creation) but I guess I'll do eventually.

Also, this way I have a set of python packages already installed.

And it was fun learning how to command pip / python to do things as I wanted them. That I guess answers this:

> I don't understand why you would do any of that

P.S.:

Saves you one line there ;)

HomeKit is probably the closest thing at the moment as, while it's a proprietary protocol, it's already been mostly-reverse-engineered enough to have open-source HomeKit controllers for most devices, as well as open-source bridges from non-HomeKit devices to HomeKit protocols.

If you don’t trust your exchange not to commit that kind of fraud, then you shouldn’t trade on it at all, as there are many ways they could defraud you even if you trade at 1x. There are plenty of. reasons why I wouldn’t recommend trading at 100x, but “the exchange might commit fraud” isn’t at the top.

Still, in the described scenario, where you use a scam and market manipulation, 100x seems like a great tool.
If you don’t want to use the proxy you can turn it off, trivially. M For the overwhelming majority of users the proxy is a huge benefit (installing and updating dependencies is way faster and the checksum database provides security benefits).

Not sure about that. Utilitarianism was around for a pretty long time, and I'm sure folks like Jeremy Bentham would probably disagree that the pursuit of happiness is/was a vice.

If you’ve only ran into 2 of them in your entire career it seems like there we’re probably better off trusting people’s verified experience than wasting millions of hours per year trying to a filter out the tiny fraction of people capable of pulling that off.

And if you did happen to hire one of those people, it should be pretty easy to figure out that they aren’t producing any actual output fairly quickly. Then you fire them.
Prosperity is not a right. Past emissions by some do not create future emissions allowances for others. We should all be held accountable for future emissions, as the climate cares little for equality concerns.

With that said, it’s entirely feasible to transition faster to not needing to emit carbon to raise or maintain quality of life. As I mention above, everyone should be accountable for that.

That's a pretty poor argument. What would happen in a world where everyone invested actively? People would switch to index funds to beat them. In your world people would switch to active investing to beat the index funds.
Just some random theorizing here for fun, this is getting off topic of the cool hack:

>Hidden electric motors have been used to cheat in real pro cycling. If they can’t always catch it there Peleton etc. have no chance.

Though this is getting off topic, I'm not sure I agree with you. It's not necessary to always catch something in a situation like this after all, as with video games it is more about keeping down the rate, and permabans on discovery with retroactive stat updates may also discourage by raising the risk even if one might get away with any single instance. There is also the fact that stakes are just plain lower, things like Zwift are mostly about fun, getting into shape, and competitions to the extent that competition helps some people with A & B. It's not like there are massive cash prizes and sponsorships and so forth on the line in the same way the pro sports has. So lesser reactions could still work.

And the purely electronic world does have some additional potential tools, if we want to theorize about if a given community really got concerned about cheating. While as this example shows right now the needed data is very minimal, it's not as if an open API couldn't have a lot of biometrics, resulting in major data sets that could be kept around indefinitely. Which obviously has major privacy implications too, but purely from a cheating angle I suspect it'd be a challenge to get everything right vs sufficiently powerful ML analysis on a data set like that from millions.

I mean, at the end of the day the fact is that a human being assisted by an electric motor just isn't thermodynamically the same system. With sufficient resolution (possibly not feasible on real roads, but quite possible for a contained standalone system) the energy budgets and how they interact with human physiology just won't add up right.

Now I personally am not a serious bike rider at all, just casual for exploration of the countryside on my own, and while I have a bunch of family members who are they're all out on roads and aren't into the tech side as much. So I honestly don't have any idea what level of privacy/creep tradeoff people would accept in data collection vs cheating and any other benefits (better personalized AI training suggestions? maybe?). Still though, it's an interesting cat and mouse game, and I'm not sure I'd bet on the mice if the cats have enough data collection, memory and computing power on their side.

All of which not merely could but should even more be open, so that people can see exactly what is going out and have full control over it.
Yea let’s admit it, China’s right. We should all go to a planned economy like them because we no longer believe a free market will work (sarcasm).

If it's so meaningless, now that Drew has complained they can just make the alterative the default for their software right? Right? It is MEANINGLESS afterall.

When faced with a decision, someone chose the option that took extra operational expenses to keep services online. If you're going to call that a meaningless, then you've either a huckster or have got quite a lot to learn my friend.

>In finance, we don’t look at maximizing total return but rather risk adjusted return

People don't regard variance as the same thing as risk, and that's why they buy lottery tickets. It's a sign the math is wrong, not that the people are wrong.
Of course it will affect specific stages more than others, but with these sample sizes variance within stages is already going to be large.

That's really not true for most working fp-languages. For example Julia has support for fully mutable datastructures, which, you might expect for a language designed for high performance scientific computation first.

In my experience (20 years of OO programming and 5 of fp)... Almost all programs are better modeled as data transformations (recursive or otherwise). One time I did come across a data structure where this did not work, but I was not convinced that the layout of the data structure itself was wisely designed (it was tied to a legacy Django ORM layout).

I'm not sure why you assume that people are forced to engage in passive investment. You can conjure arbitrarily high percentages but they are ultimately meaningless if they don't happen in reality.
If they diagnose more illnesses, wouldn't that also lead to more spent on treatments and higher reimbursements?

Or do you mean if it's "caught early" the treatments might be cheaper and so less overall reimbursements?

For the latter case, moving to a capitation model can't come soon enough:

Not sure about that. Companies tend to offer jobs right up until a hiring freeze comes down from above. Happened to me with nVidia, and seemed to happen to a bunch of people at Magic Leap.

It might be best to accept the job offer pronto. What's the worst that happens? You have to look for another job, which is the situation you're already in.
> I just don't get why the Peloton thing is so popular when you can get a smart trainer and a bike you can actually take outside for sooo much cheaper. You could even sign up for Zwift and a Trainer Road subscription and come out waaay ahead of $50/month.

You'd be surprised how much twiddling and research you need to do to find a correctly sized bike and which smart trainer (elevation? resistance? etc?) to get something that will work for the average person. It's the same reason people go for iPhones or Macs or anything else that 'just works', the time cost for getting to where one can actually use it vs. just unpacking a box w/ a 'good enough' smart bike means that a shiny package like a Peloton will always be preferred for a large chunk of the population.
That's only if you `export` the vars. You can do `FOO=1 BAR=2 cmd` and FOO and BAR will only have those values for the process and children. This is isomorphic to `cmd --foo=1 --bar=2`.
>We’ve always had mega-rich families, but what’s driving the anger against wealth inequality now?

The anger is from realizing the future isn’t as bright as expected. If this was a rising tide lifting all boats, no one would care the FB engineer making $500k if they also had an upward trajectory.

Instead the Facebook engineer is putting many yearbook company employees out of business, and google maps engineers are putting map makers out of business, etc.

There’s nothing wrong with obviating people, but they are understandably responding to the volatility with fear and anger as there is no social safety net.

Same. I use xfce + plank + autorandr with hooks, and a bunch of keyboard shortcuts for tiling. Don't really care which distro is underneath but Ubuntu has been my choice for about 13 years straight.

I removed snap after a very short time because I hate it's while also. It's easy to get around the requirement for snap by repackaging them in .deb packages. Just install the snap a vm, find apt packages that provide the deps you need (examine the snap, use ldd/strace). Once they're added to the DEBIAN/control, build. If specific versions are required and aren't available in apt, bundle them and set an LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Use strace if shit still doesn't work). I'm probably not gonna bother updating those apps very often.
This gives me a pained nostalgia for a world where people liked to “hang out” at the mall when bored.
It would be hypocrisy if China wasn’t a heavily planned market economy that they are in fact claiming to be.

You have two systems, and one of them is having doubts about the efficacy of its own system.

In theory at least, China’s planning either results in less competitive alternatives, or eventually it would have to open up its economy (when the playground is more fair) to foster its own innovation. If it never allows competition then innovation would languish.

If we take action in contradiction to this natural series of economic events, we would be hypocrites as we’d be losing faith in our core economic beliefs.

Mentioned some of this in another comment:

"It's a $2k training bike. You could spend $1k and get a really nice brand new road bike and a smart trainer that controls resistance like a Wahoo Kickr Snap (or several others) for ~$500."

That being said the M3i seems to be one of the more flexible options if you are gonna go the stationary bike route.
The government's behavior should not be allowed in a country of rule of law. We should all wake up to defend our God given right to use apps we like. Guys, please don't fall into the trap of us vs them. The governments are all bullying us, the people. They raised tariff in the name of whatever, yet in reality, they collect more tax and we pay more for goods we need. The same goes with banning apps. The reality is that we are being stripped away more and more choices and freedom. So, we the people need to wake up and stand against it!
On average this analysis makes sense but cash flow is also important to consider. If the thing you’re investing in to get 7% doesn’t make payments, or has a single bad year and doesn’t yield like it’s supposed to, you could be up the creek.
