> Your don't dictate what people must do to protect YOU - that's your responsibility.

In the real world, it's pretty well established principle that you can't deliberately or recklessly toss harmful items onto other people’s person's or property without being liable for the harms thus incurred, and that restrictions reasonable in proportion to the risk can be adopted to prevent you from doing so as well as you being held responsible if you nevertheless do so.

This idea that there is an entitlement to recklessly endager the public health without constraint or penalty is novel and bizarre.
Ask HN: Good self-hosted calendar sync framework?
I'm recently trying to de-cloud myself. On the top of my list are email, calendar, and meetings since I feel like all this remote work is really tying me into these cloud-based solutions.

I've found some neat libraries regarding email and WebRTC meetings but I can't find anything on calendar sync for the life of me. I have a UI in mind for my own calendar app but I can't find a good open source framework or library that does calendar sync with both Google Calendar (personal), Office365 (work), and CalDAV (also work).

I've found a library that (kind of) does Google Calendar by itself and a slew of projects regarding Office365's API that don't really seem to have much in the way of reliability. Haven't found anything in the way of CalDAV.

Hoping someone can recommend a good calendar sync framework, preferably with JS or Rust bindings?

Then just come out and make a clean law against gig work. That's not what's done though.

It's fine to be politically motivated, however it's not good faith to be motivated against specific businesses while pretending to be following a broad principle that then needs exemption holes poked all over it to make work. It indicates there is no principle being followed, or at least they don't know what it should be, a situation which everyone should agree is dangerous.
Strongtowns has been predicting the death of the 'burbs for as long as they've existed. That drumbeat continues even now, as people (rich, mostly) are flocking to the suburbs and the sun belt to escape overtaxed, overcrowded, and poorly run cities like NYC.

They are a bit like Zerohedge constantly talking about the economy imploding...soon.
Even if something like this popped up in my preferred 80's platform, I doubt that I would jump at it precisely because of the Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other platforms that provide convenient I/O. I ditched my vintage hardware a long time ago simple because I decided that these microcontrollers provided most of the benefits and were more forward looking. Something like the ESP8266 running MicroPython even offers a similar feel to an 80's PC running BASIC. That being said, I can understand the appeal of vintage machines. I can understand why the developers wanted to create such a machine. (How many technically inclined youth from the 80's didn't want to create their own computer?) I am also saddened when I see people who think the only reason to be interested in this hardware are classic games!

As for storage, reliability is a huge even if someone was interested in the archaic media. Dealing with impractical and obsolete is only possible if you can obtain functional media in the first place.
This is a standard set cover problem. At these sizes it should be possible to find a guaranteed optimal solution rather than heuristics AFAICT.

The Boring Company has never planned to build Hyperloop. They are about lowering cost and time of digging tunnels. Musk proposed Hyperloop but he said he'd leave implementation to others, so he hasn't moved on to anything.

As someone who detests these chats opening up, you may want to consider preventing any embedded chats from opening on the landing page; require a minimum number of page visits on the site and/or clicks and/or time spent per page. The fastest way to get me off a website is to pop up a chat box, and I have the domains for most of those services in my hosts file. If you can enforce good standards on the use of your chat function, it'll make us cranky people like me happier.

The chat box should not be allowed to pop up anywhere in the page on its own--without user interaction with the chat itself, it should be limited to the borders of the window; without a certain amount of interaction with the page/site, it should be entirely invisible, whether it blends into the menus or stays off-screen.

If your widget is front and center on a user-hostile website, then they get linked together in my mind, even if it's just an embedded service.
Layoffs happened when bookings tanked when the pandemic began (February and March). The recovery happened in the later stage of the pandemic, in May and later. Nobody expected this internally or externally and it's alright if you are skeptical. The official numbers will be made public pretty soon anyway.
You're missing the point. The environment being created makes rides less fair, safe and non-discriminatory. That is what ignoring basic economics does in this case. What are you arguing for, exactly?
I'll be as charitable as I can here, but the fact that you're even willing to call an idea "dangerous" tells me that you didn't quite understand Mill.

Positioning myself as an implicit authority, the fact that you're willing to write something I can subtly misrepresent allows me to switch rhetorical tracks and 'explain' a rudimentary concept in order to gain the appearance of superior cleverness.

I think that is the point even if it's overdone. Many people do think the renaissance and enlightenment were smooth upward transitions when in reality they were periods of profound political and social turmoil.

While I do think the enlightenment was mostly a step forward, it wasn't all light any more than the dark ages were all dark.

This is something we should keep in mind as we enter the real information age whose transformations and upheavals we have barely started to feel. We haven't seen anything yet.

> I wouldn't even know where to start

Right.
I don’t really know what you’re talking about I guess. I don’t know if man is rational. But I do know for the history of man we have had (and still do) societies of knowledge-authority that have ultimately cumulated in fundamentalist authoritarians. This ends up in violence.

You have an opinion to be sure but why on Earth should I believe it as truth? What evidence do you have and what are you leaving out? Why is your observation so important as to restrict what others should see, hear, say, etc? Be rigorous.

What gives you the right to limit this? You can express your opinion but why do you think you know what’s best for everyone? I can only trust you know what is best for you. You are but a single voice - as much as anyone else.

Which lies and half truths do you acknowledge and which ones do you ignore or are oblivious to? Which ones are you victim to? You can’t possibly know. But it’s a rather big ask for me, more so the rest of people, to just take your word for it. No one is the authority or has the final say.

If your ideas are right then prove it or persuade people of it. It’s the only way. The other ways involve oppression and possibly violence. What if people decide that you’re just not viable anymore because of your ideas and just sort of publicly execute you as a warning? What happens when the classical liberal epistemology is thrown away because it is inconvenient? Are you SURE your side will be in control?

What about people working for companies who's policies dictate that certain actions must be done through some internet system (eg time clocks, payroll, scheduling, etc). It might be physically possible to ask someone else to do some of these things for one, but it also might not be allowed. EG if all time off requests including sick days have to be entered in a web scheduling system, then it may not be possible to just do the old "ask the boss for the day off" and have it not be considered an unexcused absence by corporate higher-ups.
And on the balance I think that would be preferable to an entire section of the California economy getting wiped out during record unemployment

It becomes much easier to understand what data exists and build tools on top of it's schema. But the extra cludge it adds to optimise the specific case of returning less data in a field is often counter productive.
Building weapons is immoral? Tell that to the WW2 industrial complex that supported the war.

Not building weapons for the war effort is not always right. That is an intentional double negative because I think it's the most clear if you read it twice. Building weapons for the war effort is sometimes right would be the boolean negative of that statement.

>Microsoft executives have literally decided to build actual weapons.

Yep. Literally they did. Clearly all US weapons are evil in your opinion because you disagree with all US weapon usage I'm guessing? You have to combine the argument that they are literally making weapons with the fact that those weapons are being used in a way you don't agree with.

Keep in mind that most of these advanced weapons they are literally making are not designed against the current wars you most likely disagree with. They are built, to include AI, to keep pace with advanced threats from other countries. Allowing us to fall behind technologically, due to perceived moral black/white issues of current wars, could lead to a whole new world in 40 years as you make your arguments in a well protected environment. Not researching advanced topics will lead to an asymmetric fight... not in our favor... if the enemy so chooses.

Reference our usage of nuclear weapons. If you think that was evil, then you wouldn't want an evil country / group of people to gain such an asymmetric advantage. If you think it was necessary, then you want to have an asymmetric advantage when it is necessary against an evil group. Yes I recognize the inherent cyclical issue with the above statement. Either way, allowing all people to gain an asymmetric advantage while we just discard all research in hopes that others will follow is ignorant of history - war theory is a thing.

Magit with emacs solves git's UX problem IMO. Discoverability is/was git's real problem.
This is mind blowing. Those docs are the gold standard for creating so much of the web. Does their management understand the gravitas (that word is warranted here) of what it means to lay-off parts of the team in charge of setting, keeping, and raising the bar for creating so much of the internet? This is truly alarming and saddening that some MBA exec who’s in the role because they’re “a people person” and “get tech” is deciding the fate of creating for the internet.

I've read The Goal and The Phoenix Project. While I did enjoy the stories, I'm uncertain, perhaps due to inexperience, what the main lesson/s are supposed to be.

Anyone want to share their main takeaways from these books?
By all accounts, yes they are a SCAM.

They may have good intentions, not sure. I talked to them, then talked to a "graduate" I happened to know. They will teach you basic stuff about raising a round, not about building a business or something people love. So they are after people who are desperate to raise money. They lure you in with "investors" but there aren't really any.

I say stay far away.
There does appear to be a market for specialized embedded browsers. They could’ve likely taken Servo into that space. Add custom dev for pay.
Those would be two different things. The only thing that matters is the size of covid, the fact that it still kills much few people than the flu (with a vaccine), and that no normal person will ever wear a mask correctly to the end state that they prevent themselves from being infected by a virus.

If a mask was the cure for a virus we would be living in an extremely different world. Fortunately, this portion of public madness ends on Nov 4.

I'm neither an amateur nor professional mathematician, so I can't tell; is this statement tongue-in-cheek? If not, what does it actually mean?
I've been kind of wondering if we will start to see an increase in anti-enlightenment arguments given the issues we face with no clear way out. Given climate change for example, was the industrial revolution a mistake? If it was an inevitable consequence of the enlightenment era, then was that a mistake? Too early to tell, but if we end up destroying ourselves I guess the answer would have to be "yes", but it's a hard pill to swallow.
> I think the reaction from GP was likely due to a difference in how people interpret the meaning of the word can't, as in some people mean "I currently use the internet because non-internet solutions are inconvenient" vs "It's literally impossible to do my job without the internet or losing the internet would make my job completely irrelevant(such as being a dev on the Google search team)."

This is why I never pay attention to self reported studies. You could argue they are crafted to make the most clickbait headlines while also saying nothing of worth.
I don't see this. All I see is the author replying to a comment that this is not laundry detergent.
Architecture is not optimization. This gets fuzzy with the decision to use caching, static generation, etc. Ideally, redis or memcached can be added when needed. It will require some changing of the app but hopefully in limited places.

This rule a la Pike is about doing things like writing assembly or manually unrolling loops in noncritical parts of code. However, in some code, almost everything is on the critical path, and that requires architecture. I’m thinking of Carmack’s single function game loop here.

I remember working on a project that claimed to want 10,000 transactions per second. “Okay”, I said, “how much can be accomplished in 100us?”

They looked at me like I was an idiot. “No, it’s going to be clustered and pipelined.”

“Ok, if you can do that maybe you have a budget of 1-5ms.”

“No, we’re going to give each transaction up to a second to get done”

I smiled and admitted that they were obviously a lot smarter than me. Oddly enough the product never saw the light of day.
> only the rich can have homes that give true ownership and everyone else is stuck in multi-family homes

That's what we have now. Either you pay for the full detached single-family experience or you are in a high-rise with no autonomy. You don't have the option of with slightly less autonomy than a detached house but more than a high-rise for a lower price that you can get with townhouses or duplexes.
They weren't, if you meant taxpayers subsidized them. Have you seen the hops Tesla has to jump in order to sell cars to consumers, like in Texas or Michigan?

NASA is indeed SpaceX's most important customer, but taxpayers in fact save lot of money because SpaceX's offerings are much more competitive than those of other providers.

At the same time it isn't Mozilla Corporations obligation to pay people to write a free and open source wiki that doesn't make them any money back.

Even if they were a legitimate software charity the money for those developers has to come from somewhere.
Of course. It's a necessary sacrifice. That money will go on to support the livelihoods of the most vulrenable and needy of the Mozilla team, namely the C-suite.

For insects, there are a lot of different traps based on the nature of the insects being sought. There's a pretty good list here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insect_trap

As I understand the sampling, you pretty much just put the traps out and count up how many insects you get of each type.

Purely anecdotally, I feel like the number of butterflies is way down from the level you'd see during, say, the 90s. It seems like I just don't see as many different types any more and even the more common types feel vastly reduced in number. I used to see monarchs and sulfers and painted ladies and red admirals and cabbage butterflies all the time, now I barely see a few cabbage butterflies or sulfers and occasionally a painted lady or two. I never get to see the less common things like buckeyes any more, which is a pity given that they're my favorite.

Yeah, I mean, it sounds like the people you know are a relatively thin slice of the upper few % of people working in tech, compensation-wise.

Most of the people I know in tech work for governments, non-profits, small business, private companies, etc. that don't offer stock-based compensation. They just make much less in total comp than BigTech stock-heavy jobs.

I’m in a constant debate with my spouse about the need for prewashing. She’s a prewasher and I am not.

My anecdata based on “feedback” I’ve received over the years:

(1) Greasy and sugary things will go through fine.

(2) Proteins, like supplements, eggs, less cooked meats or cat food, tend to denature more and get stuck/baked to dishes to the point of needing a rewash.

(3) An exception is proteins in a fat emulsion (like mayo) where fat has a stronger influence on the properties of the residue.

This is after trying multiple tablets, even ones that promise pre-wash free dishes, in a pre-Energy Star dishwasher.
Yeah, I think it's informative that you "need commutativity" but important that you can build it yourself. It's nice (mostly from an efficiency standpoint, sometimes from a complexity stnadpoint) when you can get it "for free" because the underlying type is commutative, and the fact that you're shooting for commutativity can inform how you build and test the bookkeeping.

As an interesting nit, "anticommutative" specifically means that a.b = -(b.a), which is different than simply not being commutative.

A group might be commutative, anticommutative, neither, or even both (trivially true of the empty group and the group with one element, but I think it can be true of larger groups).
For now it isnt.

It’s a terrible name. I have forgotten it three times already since they’ve changed it and I was actually trying to pay attention to their project. And just now reading about it, it took me a minute to remember what Element was referring to. It’s not too late, change it again! Pick any element that’s easy to spell off the periodic table and go with that: Vanadium, Thorium, Boron, hell even Helium. Or go with a conductive one since it’s about communication: Copper!

Or try something random: Gregarious, Rune, Radio Moskva, Ricochet, Lore, Franko, Mayham, Rockodial. Whatever, just not Element.
