FWIW I've definitely heard of Google banning multiple accounts belonging to the same person in those random ban stories. I guess it makes sense that that could happen because their advertising/data algorithms are obviously going to correlate accounts, and presumably you'd have to work pretty hard to stop them being able to do so.
Please don’t speak for me. I wasn’t “feigning” anything and I meant exactly what I said.
Domains are only a meaningful root of trust if they're tightly controlled by a small set of people. A piece of content being on 'news.ycombinator.com' or 'github.com' literally tells me nothing about how trustworthy it is. In the case of yc, i have to look at the poster, and the actual content, and the replies to it. For github, I have to look at things like who posted the code and which repository it's in - both things that are displayed in the URL, oddly enough...

Google's URLs are of course long strings of useless hex/base64 garbage, so it's natural that they want to hide them.
What I dislike about these rants:

- the web is technically open but the browsers are the gatekeepers.

- browsers are FUCKING HARD to build. Very very hard. So many details. And you are the #1 target for malicious hackers.

- Rewriting the renderer for things like Firefox Quantum takes a lot of work, because every freaken webpage has to work on firefox. Every single one ever. That has been a HUGE challenge.

So at the end, yeah, lots of companies are trying to make money making a browser that everyone else (especially google) is giving away for free. So of course they are gonna try to do anything in their power to make money. Of course Mozilla is gonna start positioning themselves as the "privacy focused" browser and sell a VPN. The list goes on.

The question is: What can we do differently?

Sure, pvp exists. It's not the most popular mode (co-op is the default and most popular way to play), but there is full support for this kind of scenario or mod: each object in the game is of a 'force' and you can't do things like open chests or mine (pick up) objects belonging to other forces (enemies). That's also how biters and player-built objects work. There is even a pvp scenario built into the game if I'm not mistaken and setting up a server is very easy (either with the in-game GUI or, if that's more your thing, with the dedicated server on Linux).
That doesn't really make sense, these days mov files are exactly the same as mp4 files - the same ISO/IEC 14496-12 container.

> I don't know anything about instagram's infrastructure but what I can tell you for certain is that every one of these companies has legacy infrastructure

So you don't know anything about Instagram but at the same time know for certain that they have legacy infrastructure that keeps them from meeting legal requirements? How about we don't give them a pass just because it requires a bit of work to comply with laws and regulations.
That is perfectly fine, but in this case, the manager wanted this to explicitly signify base, If you didn't provide this, it meant it was a MyClass method.

And I agree it is dangerous - going against conventions on giant projects with dozens of developers, is dangerous. Should have left off the base. and the this. everywhere, like Visual Studio recommends.
I never thought about bike shops as market selection business cases, but this is a really good write-up. I've had shop owners tell me flat out they were in a different market that was out of my budget, which I kind of appreciated because I had $1,500 to spend, not $4k, so let's not waste anybody's time. But I bet it worked really well for that owner.

I feel super lucky atm because we have multiple shops within a 5-10 mile drive who have awesome service knowledge, and are pretty price competitive with shopping online to the point where I don't even look anymore except in the cases where they don't carry a specific brand I want, and can't order it.

Also, check out your local bike non-profit group/chapter. Some work with local shops to provide discounts on demos and parts + accessories.

Clicking the "what's new" was a great lesson in the difference between old-web and only-somewhat-old web: it took forever to load and I was like "huh, I didn't expect that, given how fast the index loaded and how it looks", then when it did finally load it was obviously a Wordpress site (old web is very very fast, somewhat old web is slower and full of "too many SQL connections" errors, new web is all 5MB of Javascript to display 100K of text).

Alternately, it rewards those who made the school great in the first place -- by admitting their children.

Note that it's not strictly zero sum either. Huge grants by previous may have opened the university to more people than are admitted by legacy admissions -- yielding greater participation by non-legacy than previously possible.

People are choosing one small slice of what goes on with a university -- admissions right now. They are glossing over the fact that it is other people who made the university great over the years to the point that it is desirable at all. Those people made it great by donating money and going on to bring prestige to the university. Ignore them and lose the prestige and money.

The consequences of messing up a make believe factory is essentially nothing except one’s own time loss. The consequences of messing up a real factory are obviously substantial. What games or side projects let us do sometimes is to explore and enter a more diffuse mode of thought which has some tangential benefits to other activities. Spending too much time “being productive” can be counterproductive because one can get tunnel vision too busy executing tasks instead of reimagining or optimizing those tasks. Too much time questioning the work and nothing materially important gets done either.
Not to laypeople. Most people have no idea what query params are, or even what part of the url the top level domain is.

Outside of developing something that interfaces with HN, I don't know what I would do with that info either.

I didn't know about static imports. Technically those are still member functions, but you are able to call them without a prefix, so I retract that point.

> So they do have non-member variables, in local variables. Making it clear that something is not a local variable is valuable as it means the variable has a much larger scope than you might expect.

Yes, local variables are non-member variables. I'm just pointing out that people's habits may have been built in JavaScript or the like, where a non-member variable could be:

- a global

- from a closure, anywhere up the tree

- an import from another file

Whether or not the explicitness is still important in C# code, it's at least much more important in JavaScript and Python code (in fact I'm pretty sure both languages require it)

I hadn't wanted to get into the weeds of Python, but yes. You could use any identifier you want, but breaking with convention in this way is not a wise move.

I consider it a mistake on the part of Python to go with self rather than this, but it's a really bad idea to write code that surprises other programmers in that way.
At that point you might as well just delete them.
Their comment wasn't an RFC. Right to be forgotten and GDPR are not suggestions.

Regardless, in practice, billion dollar companies have the resources to ensure 'delete' isn't actually "partially hide for years/forever". With proper surrogate IDs they could even preserve a minimal amount of meta such as tombstone IDs to ensure all first and third party systems are in compliance.
Oddly enough, I have a few accounts where my login ID is an obsolete email address of mine. Can't change anything about that. However, I was able to log in [with the obsolete email ID] and update my email contact information.

How to make your bash scripts more reusable
On the one hand, something like Docker/Kubernetes offers fine-grained resource control that nothing else can match; on the other hand, this is an advanced optimization that very few companies actually need. Last year I had several clients who nearly destroyed themselves by over-investing in infrastructure setups that were excessive to their needs, so out of frustration I wrote this essay that listed all of the ways Docker/Kubernetes was excessive for nearly all of my clients:

No, but using `base` does, and he advocates for using `base`:

Haha. Well, for what it's worth, I wasn't even referring to Israel with those examples. I was just pushing your argument that "might is right" to its rightful conclusion, to prove its (ethical) absurdity.

Well, so now you're abandoning the "might is right" thing and returning to a sane moral argument, by talking about responsibilities and faults? Excellent. So what should Israel do with those territories that has misappropriated? Don't you think that the precondition for ending a dispute about a stolen good is to return it?

> we know that there are a much greater percentage of people who will experience significant health problems, potentially with life-long impacts

This seems to be an alarmist statement. Any disease with a fever component will leave a small percentage with long term damage, same for diseases affecting the lungs.

From https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseas...

>COVID-19: Lasting damage to the lungs, heart, kidneys, brain and other organs is possible after a severe case of COVID-19.

>Flu: Influenza complications can include inflammation of the heart (myocarditis), brain (encephalitis) or muscles (myositis, rhabdomyolysis) tissues, and multi-organ failure.

Scary headlines sell papers. I read recently on the BBC about brain damaged covid patients. There were less than 50 in a country of 50+ million. That is not a "much greater percentage".

It does everyone a disservice to spread exaggerated fear.

Not really, the whole point of "cycling" is conspicuous consumption and virtue signaling. The high price is what shows that you aren't some pleb riding a bicycle shaped object out of necessity. It's also health conscious, so extra status points. So the market charges this much as a differential, in the same way a "bespoke" suit is pricer than something off the rack.

People who want a car-alternative for necessity either buy a wal-mart bike, a cheap electric/gas moped, maybe a motorcycle, or walk.

>real "prohibited" substances like LSD, MDMA didn't make any negative impact on my life nor addiction.

I'm sure you are different (or at least think so yourself) but I have never heard anyone who use drugs that says otherwise before they have stopped using them completely. Also "ruined plans" versus "ruined lifes" is quite a difference. It cannot be a big surprise that someone who gets addicted to a game might also be a drug user. Addiction is not really about the drug itself but the person.
Games and play -- of the "unproductive" kind -- are a fundamental and valuable human activity. Not everything has to produce something beyond mental well-being. Plus, of course, children learn by playing.

Where it falls on the cause of death list doesn't really mean much. 3/4s of all deaths are caused by Cancer, Heart Disease, and Other. The remaining quarter of deaths are spread out over 8 causes in roughly equivalent numbers. Covid being high on that list ultimately doesn't mean much.

The better number to look at is percent increase in deaths. Worst case scenario we're looking at a 3-10% increase for a single year. Obviously not good, but that's amount of increase is not going to change the course of society.
