This is wrong. You can be charged with crimes that bar you from the banking system. Not to mention the credit scoring system can prevent the mobility you speak of.
To be fair, the web is not the issue but content distribution.

Joe Rogan is free to put together his own site with anything he feels like posting. If instead Joe Rogan wants to use someone else's site to make available his musings then he still has to deal with the owner of that site.

It's like buying a house vs booking a hotel: you might feel more comfortable in the hotel but even if you're a paying customer you need to abide by the service provider's rules.
Another geezer here. Using Emacs since Bush I.
You also have to factor in the effect on your future earnings of looking for a job while not having a job. You're bound to get lower offers (unless you can credibly give the impression of someone who's so wealthy that they never need to get a job). So even if you have a year's salary saved up and find another job within months, it could still be a big financial hit in the long term.
Even if they are not enabled by default, I think having these features would be nice and would be helpful for emacs distributions to really take off more than they currently do.

Something like spacemacs and prelude would have a much wider adoption if there was a mode that can be enabled to make the learning curve smaller, the look / themes better, ui more intuitive.
TBH I think the best use case for this device is anxious pet owners who want to check up on how their pets are doing. Often pets sit somewhere where the cameras are not pointing.

But this also might not be good for the pet's mental health either as a loud ass drone buzzes around them.
James Gosling (Java) was just talking about Simula on the Lex Fridman podcast yesterday. And Bjarne Stroustrup (C++) was too, last year.

“Given” a platform? Spotify is a downgrade from the reach he had before; Spotify paid for The Joe Rogan Experience, with terms, in order to expand their audience and you don’t think they might want to preserve what they paid for? The solution is probably to not tell other people how to live their lives and what to do with their businesses. A controversial proposition these days, I know.
I would recommend to just call it for what it really is. Bad code. Why does it add anything to call it technical debt?

You still have to dig deeper to really understand the problem anyway.

> Trump gets re-elected, by hook or by crook, and spends the next four years continuing to dismantle political infrastructure?

He already had four years. What exactly did he dismantle? The courts, the congress, the senate, the elections, the state rights? Did anything change at all in the "political infrastructure"?

> courts that Trump and McConnell have spent the past four years packing only rule against the most flagrant of Constitutional violations

This trope is getting old. Justices are not puppets of their presidents. Sometime a conservative appointee turns out liberal and serves out their term long after the president is gone and forgotten. The terms "conservative" and "liberal" apply to justices only very loosely. I invite you to read opinions of, say, Justice Scalia [1] - he's not the freedom-crusher you imagine them to be.

That's within their right of free speech, and Joe Rogan has equal free speech rights to make counter-demands. You believe in free speech don't you?

This describes Perl - one could get very clever with it. As a recovering Perl programmer - that is a scary thing for a language to be, especially for large code-bases worked on by people with different skill levels as the code quickly becomes inconsistent, with mixed paradigms.
What about the infinite email?

They said with Gmail, all the email would be free, and infinite, and forever. That you'd never have to delete email again.

Now I have to pay them 1,99 USD/mo just to continue using my email, even though the majority of the email in my mailbox are the public OSS mailing lists -- which could "easily" be compressed if they had wanted to.

P.S. I specifically checked for large attachments using the search -- almost nothing; Google quite literally makes me pay just to have access to searching the OSS mailing lists that I'm subscribed to.

I'd say that's more credit to Scala than the norm for most typed languages. Scala is an insanely productive language if you're up to speed on it.
It is an appeal to the artistry inherent in making the difficult as simple as possible.

> Some of the ideas found in these distributions may well merit inclusion in Emacs, but that does not happen.

Spacemacs isn't an Emacs fork, it's a set of packages and configuration files that are provided transparently on top of an existing Emacs install.

It's not necessary (or desirable) to include Evil mode out of the box for bare-bones Emacs installs, and for the most part, new users shouldn't be using bare-bones Emacs installs. It's not important that Emacs be an amazing experience with fantastic defaults out-of-the-box.

This is like arguing that Linux is outdated because Gnome isn't built into the kernel. New users download a distro based on Linux, like Ubuntu. That's fine, it's not a problem that needs to be solved.

In the same way, new Emacs users download "distros" that include secondary packages like Evil mode. That is also fine, it's not a problem that needs to be solved.

> Emacs maintainer Eli Zaretskii complained that the creators of these distributions do not contribute their work back.

Even assuming that we would want to merge Spacemacs changes into the core Emacs codebase (which we don't), I still have zero sympathy on this point.

All of these downstream projects are Open Source -- they are contributing their work back. If the FSF refuses to merge compatible, Open Source code back into the Emacs codebase without developers signing away their ownership, that's the FSF's problem, not the downstream developer's.

I thought the whole point of Open Source licensing was that people didn't need to own the code to use it. Being a good Open Source community member is not conditional on anybody giving ownership of their code to the FSF, it is conditional on releasing that code under Open, compatible licenses.
That's the first thing that I thought of too --- if browsers get faster, sites that are already full of terribly inefficient and unnecessary JS will just get worse to compensate. Somewhat like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wirth%27s_law but at a different level of abstraction.
> putting enough police in place to investigate every incident of property crime would be exceptionally wasteful and would drive up overpolicing of certain communities to a ridiculous and dangerous degree.

Making them prioritize burglaries or robberies without increasing their manpower might force them to reallocate resources from overpolicing certain communities to doing actual, useful work that makes everyone safer. Sounds like a win-win to me.

But then again, I'm not an expert. Maybe the amount of labor allocated to investigating property crimes currently is appropriate and increasing that might take focus away from violent crimes.
Really? Can you point me to details supporting this?
Ok, but what if you get accused of sexual assault, and you know that if you go into custody in that foreign country, you'll probably never go to trial, because you'll immediately be extradited to the US for trumped up espionage charges and face the death penalty? You still going to go hear that case out?
Don't do math and drive kids!
Unless you have a union and a contract with your employer, you’re an at will employee with no recourse (at least in the US). You’re free to your opinion, but also to find employment elsewhere if you take issue with your organization’s partnerships. Freedom of speech doesn’t translate to guaranteed employment while demanding editorial control of your employer’s platform.

It should be noted that union organizing activities are protected in the US from employer retaliation.
Is $500k really "average" engineer compensation at top tech companies? That's the average compensation for an L6 at Google, which has an average tenure of 13.2 years https://www.levels.fyi/charts.html. Many people will max-out at L5 in there careers.

Compensation is really good in tech, but I don't think saying "$500k/yr total comp for average engineers" is helping anybody.
>Swift is very complex, and makes many compromises away from reliability or efficiency in favor of application use cases.

Swift is only complex if you need it, otherwise very easy, with few caveats.

And it's efficient enough for all application / cli etc use cases -- if Go can do it, Swift can do it even better.

It's not Rust in performance and low-levelness, but Rust is the "really complex" one in its semantics and learning curve.
> I’ve read tons of scientific papers and there are too many contradictions.

Dietary science is full of contradictions, and sometimes contra-indications.

There seems to be a lot of focus on some sort of mythical one size fits all diet for everyone. As if everyone's body systems would react in the same way to any given diet and with an assumption that you can rigidly control the ingredients in your food while still getting food from the grocery store and possibly restaurants.

When evaluating diets for conditions, I would suggest trying to figure out:

a) is it grossly unhealthy / what signs could I use to see if it is affecting my health negatively?
b) does it seem to work for some people?
c) is it something I could feel satisfied with for a long time?
d) how will I know if it's working or not? / how will I be able to confirm?

This is generally a smaller burden of proof than is there scientific consensus that it's a good idea. For many things that might have a connection to food, there isn't consensus on the mechanisms involved, and there may be multiple. It's plausible thst some mechanisms would be affected by diet, and others wouldn't, so some people would see good results by eliminating things, others would see no change, and others may have bad results.

As someone who works in the actual music business, I can confidently say that Digital Music News is not taken seriously as a news source and has an awful reputation for clickbait, fake comments, and outright lies. As I don’t see any actual evidence or new information in this article, I’m surprised it’s passing the HN community filters.

Since HN moderators may not be aware of this blog’s reputation, I would encourage them to consider bypassing links from here and instead linking to direct sources as they do with other dubious blogs. Notice how there are no real sources for the actual new claims in this article?

Posting from a throwaway account as the owner of this blog has a nasty reputation for attacking naysayers.

> I wouldn't put a house into the category I understood the parent comment to talk about: it's not consumption, it's an investment

A house is a terrible investment. I don't understand why people are so obsessed with them.

The only reason I can think of is that there's something very human about your house being yours.
This involves a private company and is thus literally not censorship.
First, I think you and the OP are correct. It’s not Barbara’s money, and Barbara’s career is driven by hiring and developing productive people. If her group is shipping good product, nobody in a growth company is sitting down and asking why a group that ships 30% more product costs 10% more per head.

That will come much later in the company’s trajectory.

One small exception to this from my n=1 experience is that all other things being equal, when hiring Barbara would rather pay at the low end of the range and then be generous with a raise, than pay at the top end of the range and have to fight to get you a raise.

That first performance review and raise set the tone for years to come, and good managers want it to be a happy experience for everyone.

—-

But that’s only if all other things are equal. Barbara doesn’t want to lose you to another employer by over-negotiating, so ask for what you want.

Let her worry about fighting for your first raise. That’s the job she signed up for.

That's because the whole game is crooked.

Imagine a billionaire not playing by the "rules". They simply don't have the guts to see if there'd be any repercussions.

People make fun of places like China and Russia which always find some irregularity if a billionaire/oligarch tries to question the establishment. But what do we have here at home in the West?!
This reminds me of the Anna Karenina principle: "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."

They are mostly fake. The owner of the blog uses tons of fake accounts to promote his clickbait, and any real community that has formed around it is super toxic. I’d encourage you to find another blog to read that covers these issues.
it was also astonishingly hard to do. turns out just because you can tell things don't look quite as nice doesn't mean you know how to tweak the infinality settings to achieve a better look - or at least i didn't. i finally gave up and went back to the default fonts.

The difference is Spotify is paying Joe Rogan $100M for his content. He's not a "guest in a hotel", they entered into a mutually beneficial contract to host his content. Spotify is using this to grow their userbase.
TV repair shops use a special tool to discharge those caps, basically a high voltage rated resistor pack.

Largely a disappeared skill.

I believe if you are really lucky if you discharge with a screwdriver, the cap can explode, not just melt the screwdriver. Same with batteries, like auto batteries, extra points there with boiling acid and hunks of thick plastic flying around.
I love org-babel (executing code blocks with a text document, like jupyter notebooks) for technical documents. I know of nothing comparable. The rest is a messy pile of possible frustration.

I would happily trade emacs modernization for a standalone Babel like system, that could be used with whatever editor. Maybe like LSP to vscode.
it absolutely makes no difference to me to have standups, yet still we participate in them...

- To see who's working on what, I just look at the board.
- To seek help when I get blocked, I send a message on Slack (or whatever) at the point that I need that help, not only at 9:30 AM
- To know who's blocked on what, just tune to Slack

Given the above and if you have the team discipline to make sure that tickets reflect the state of work. Why do we need standups then?

That time can be more targeted towards a meaningful discussion, but the industry seem to be blindly just doing that without giving it much deeper thought. It baffles me.
It's also not supposed to be used unless you have another method with the same name.

Also, what kind of danger are we talking here? I consider mutation dangerous. Danger could also mean it has side effects or that it can raise an error.

I wouldn't call it inconsistent but I would call it arbitrary.

I would rather just name the method "#{base_method}_#{why_its_dangerous}". For example take ActiveRecord::Base#save and #save!

#save mutates and I would consider that dangerous. #save! can raise an error. I would rather name #save! as #save_or_raise_if_invalid. I know it doesn't look as pretty and takes longer to type but I really don't care. Then again, I'm not a big fan of exceptions so I would never call it.

oh, I have used ange-ftp to edit remote files in the days such functionality was not upstream (and nobody considered ftp being dangerous...) But I missed that it supports docker. Not that I particularly like docker, it's ActiveX, use random executable code from unknown sources and give it too many privileges all again, but sometimes I use it.
No offense, but this strawman is super telling. I don't advocate for

There is a “Red Queen’s Race” between the accelerating productivity gains of abstractions, frameworks, libraries, and other stacks we can leverage, balanced against the fact that each one is a leaky abstraction, and the leaks interfere with each other in weird, mysterious ways.

Not sure. I think with the Gliese bodies, the letters were assigned in chronological order of discovery. I guess that makes sense since we could later find other bodies in between and not want to rename everything.

That's the naming convention for exoplanets. It descends from the naming conventions for multiple star systems defined by the International Astronomical Union [0], in which the brightest (and usually gravitationally dominant) member of a multiple system receives designation "A", the second-brightest gets "B", and so on. Note the capitals. Planets, being considered a lower-mass extension of stars, get lower-case letters accordingly; so the first planet gets "b", the next planet gets "c" and so on. There is no lowercase "a" in a star-planet system. (I guess you might have that if you found binary planets without a star system; that would be very unusual).

The critical point is that the US has never cared about any other country in the world. Every foreign policy decision is based on what is advantageous to the US at the time. For example, you seem to believe that the US is fighting Islamic extremism for the good of the world and the people in the places it's bombing. If that were a priority for the US, don't you think they'd have a problem with the Islamic extremism and dictatorship promoted and brutally enforced by their close allies in the Saudi Arabian government? Instead, the US just agreed to sell the Saudi regime more weapons.

The US engages with the rest of the world in a way that is advantageous to the US. This is clear when you learn about the modern history of US foreign policy[1]. The US backed over 40 authoritarian coups through the 20th century. To write such a long comment about how the US cares about the places they bomb is at best naivety and at worst willful ignorance.

Whether or not Spotify is a downgrade is not the point here; the point is that Joe Rogan has a platform that allows him to propagate his message to the mass, and that Spotify has a role in that. That is all. The same could be said if he was uploading videos to YouTube, or hosting a website. At some point, some company helped him disseminate the message he wanted to spread - in the case of hosting a website, for example, a hosting provider, or a domain name service, or an ISP. I think it's nonsensical and potentially dangerous to say an ISP is responsible for what Joe Rogan has said, but on the other end of the spectrum, YouTube or Spotify has to do some sort of filtering on the content they help disseminate. How should they decide, then?

The problem with the latter part of your comment is that it assumes that everyone lives on separate islands, and that what one person does has no impact on the other people around them. It does. It's alright to say that we shouldn't dictate peoples lives or businesses, but there's a point that that breaks down - if we can't dictate people's lives, why do we jail people?
