> No one cares if you enjoy programming or computers as long as you act relatively 'normal'. It's not that nerds care about intelligence more than popularity (trust me most aren't) it's just that the nerds have already lost the popularity race by being socially awkward individuals that can't hold a conversation about any topics other than very specific subjects to save their life.

This passage makes me think you missed the points of the essay.

PG isn't saying "people hate people who enjoy computers and want to shove them into lockers." Rather, he's saying that status competition in middle/high school is a brutal Darwinian struggle, and those who have anything stopping them from optimizing solely for status, will lose the race.

Your comment about awkwardness/inability to hold a conversation doesn't strike true either. Rather, I felt like no one else could hold a conversation. Time has born this out; many of my nerd friends have gone on to people/verbal professions, and I'm one of the more gregarious developers you'll meet. I played a lot of sports and so had substantial intercourse with my school's popular crowd---I would not list "conversation" as one of their strengths.

Now, one caveat here: The idea that "nerds are just awkward weirdos" isn't entirely without base. I think there are two types of people who get labeled as "weird" --- actually-messed-up people, and also people who are interested in something out-of-context. The trouble with school is that, because your actions don't affect the world, it's impossible to distinguish between the two---like how you couldn't tell Einstein from the Time Cube guy (https://timecube.2enp.com/) if you couldn't do experiments.

Reusing syringes probably isn’t the best idea, but for most uses, sure.

The main problem to me is that disposing of plastic is always an externality to the companies who produce and market it. Make them pay the recycling or disposal costs up front, and I’d be happy.

Garbage isn't "just" thrown out, it also has to be transported and stored. We'd still want to sort efficiently recyclable aluminum out of the garbage before it's sent to landfill, so ideally there would be some processing as well.
That's what happens with most beers sold in bottles in Poland, there's a standardized bottle shape, you pay a little extra when buying such a beer. Even so, there's still a lot of beer bottles being trashed. Maybe the price is too low for most of people. In turn, this is what a lot of homeless people do, they collect such bottles for reimbursement.
> It's impossible to "compete"...

No one is master of everything. Economies with weaker currencies by no means have upper hand on every trade. Like the example I gave before: corn exports. Economies could be subsidized by regular interventions like how China blocks international companies competition in its local market, devaluating currency to make their products cheaper on global marketplaces. Such a market is far from "free market". Right now for those reasons they are embroiled in a trade war!

Can you please point me to one source where that says majority STEM students are Americans? Let's just get the percentages and see whether they are high enough for unemployment to so high that needs immediate short-term intervention.

I have not come across one respectable peer-reviewed publication that actually argues that position. Are you really saying the companies are discriminating job applications by country against favoring Americans?

> Third, let incentives do the work.

No they don't! LOL.

> Fourth, very very few H1B are contributing to "state of the art" anything,

I don't know what you consider state of the art. But take any STEM peer-reviewed research conference or journal and scan through the number of Americans publishing as first author in comparison to others. I know the numbers but since you are not convinced, I suggest you do the homework.

I'm really, really happy to see this. I know this is going to sound like parody or satire, but I swear I'm being sincere: this is a huge deal for applying to FAANG (and companies that do FAANG interviews) and leetcoding in Swift.

It's incredibly painful and off-putting to re-implement stuff you get for free in Python and Java when you're trying to learn everything else at the same time. Some companies give you the option to use whatever you want if you're applying for an iOS position (Google), and some don't (Apple, Facebook). But either way, if you do iOS, odds are you spend 99% of your time at work writing Swift and/or Objective-C, which means you'll have to put in extra effort in learning/re-learning Python or Java.

This is especially great for string algorithm problems. Manipulating strings in Swift in an interview is a traumatic experience if you haven't drilled it repeatedly, and you rarely need to do it during Real Work if you have functional backend developers.

Ask HN: How to build a robust personal archive
I want to consolidate my notes and text files that I run my life with. I am at a bit of a loss for how to set this system up. Here is my wishlist:

- Store a set of mainly text-based files, in total less than 100mb (annex for large files would be a nice bonus)

- Version control semantics

- Git/rsync style distributed architecture. Ideally I can sync to multiple filesystems like multiple personal computers, flashdrives, and generic file hosting like s3

- Merge semantics for conflicts between versions

- Encrypted at rest / in packed form, with simple password-based access. Low risk of losing data if I don’t lose the password. Reasonable degree of protection from everyone below state actors, even if the encrypted archive is exposed.

- Reasonably mature technologies that will likely be maintained for the next decade or two for all critical parts of the stack. Again, concerns about data loss are the most important thing here.

Should I just be using git with some kind of encryption wrapper around it? I’m happy using CLI tools here but very much don’t want to lose years of data because I screwed up a command at some point.
Nobody owns the intellectual property to "the cure of depression". Are you suggesting that the only way to cure depression is by paying a medical professional using only scientifically backed and proven methods and procedures some money? Are you in the industry yourself?

A hobby can cure depression. A better diet can cure depression. More exercise can cure depression. Finding purpose can cure depression. Painting can cure depression. Dancing can cure depression. The heavens forbid someone start a dancing class that claims to help release negative emotions without a medical degree and scientific research to back it up.

Can you give me an example of the kind of “weak environmental policy” you are talking about? One which would lead to more wildfires on the west coast? Because the only policy I know of that leads to more wildfires, is the 20th century mistake of putting them out, which led to runaway undergrowth leading to hotter fires, such that trees were destroyed that would normally survive. The policy that best protects the environment long term is to let the fires burn. So again, what is the strong environmental policy you are envisioning that would prevent wildfires?

I mean the goal with glass isn't to recycle it anyways, it is to reuse it. And when glass does eventually get thrown away, it is completely inert. It is just sand but in large solid pieces instead of grains. Hell if we cleaned it first, we could literally throw the glass in large piles in designated areas of the coast and just let the waves smash it all back into sand with zero ill effects.
I agree with you that this should work, but it makes me sad that this kind of solution preserves access for the wealthy and excludes those who are not. Maybe clean energy can help reduce the divide eventually.
The code is in the repo. Stack is “wget” mostly it seems.
It's not only high risk people who get the disease, or even only high risk people who die. And, those same "young and healthy" people you're wanting to let loose still suffer serious aftereffects. You're trivializing it by saying "only old people die," not the least because it's it's not true.
Energy usage for creation is only one axis of "environmentally friendly", though. It's starting to seem like small bits of plastic permeating everything might not be ideal.

Did your calculations include things like the extraction and distillation of the petroleum?

Beyond the environmental impact, there's also just the stupid, wasted effort that goes into pointlessly recreating the same thing over and over when you don't have to. In this case, the bottle goes back on the return trip from delivering new milk, which had to happen anyway. The milk ends up being the only thing delivered, on net. It's just strikingly elegant in its lack of wasted effort and material. It's not clear if it's a net win, though, given the delivery part, unless there are others on the same street signed up for the same day.

If anyone's in the Bay Area and is interested in delivery sort of like this, which also tries to set up regular delivery routes to minimize the marginal impact of a customer, I recommend checking out Farmstead (https://www.farmsteadapp.com/). They provide a similar milk delivery service by picking up Straus milk bottles and refunding the deposit. They also solved my biggest issue with most of the delivery services by picking up their reusable bags and having minimal packaging inside, but COVID put a stop to the bag pickup, at least temporarily.
Not sure where you saw this, but it's a very small minority view among people who have a broad knowledge of ADASes.
Yes good points, which is why I think the type of plastic matters. Rubbermaid, for example, makes a variety of high quality reusable plastic food containers.

The Just Salad restaurant chain in NYC will sell you a reusable plastic salad container that you can wash and bring to them to prepare your meal in and there doesn't seem to be any issue with food safety regarding those bowls. It's heavier duty than the clear disposable ones they give you otherwise.

There's certainly a usable life to anything, plastic will degrade over multiple washes and being battered with utensils. I'd expect well used ones would need to be retired but it should still be better than the current situation where they are primarily single use.
Aws for API gateway, servless functions, authetication and user storage. Not sure about the payment part, but you can try also with them. Also host static sites with them.
It depends where in the world you live. I live in Vietnam and a couple of weeks ago they burnt the entire local landfill site because it was too full (for a city of about 200,000 people, took about 4 days to burn). Now, I'm pretty sure that's not government policy here and probably illegal... But that doesn't change the fact that for a lot of the world, that's still how landfill works.

>Very expensive, for no good reason.

Politicians see a chance to increase tax income for the government, thereby giving them an increased chance of increasing their influence by being able to direct the increased tax income, and it will come from a politically unpopular and weaker class of people, so that's a no brainer.

>it simulates a situation where we count the times when Monty picks the car.

No, it does not.

>> if (montys_choice === car_door) { i -= 1; continue; }

This discards the game where Monty chose a car.

>> do { montys_choice = Math.floor(Math.random() * 3); } while (montys_choice === my_choice || montys_choice === car_door);

This makes Monty never choose a door with a car.

Neither one counts the game where Monty opened a door with a car as a win for either staying or switching.

> Then, they find out they can't rent at those prices, they still are hesitant to drop prices and just offer 3-4 months of 'free rent' instead.

This one is easy to explain. Commercial real estate (which includes apartment buildings with 5+ units) is valued strictly by the amount of income it can produce, i.e. what the monthly rents are. If you drop the rent from X to 0.67X, you've basically cut your property value by 1/3. If you give a rebate of 4 months free rent, the effect on the property value is basically 0.
They knew exactly what they were building.
I’ve found myself asking the same question, particularly from the perspective of learned helplessness. Having experienced now some modest amount of self-acceptance, I’ve found that one good marker of it is empowerment.

Do you feel like you’re standing on a reliable foundation, and able to exert some leverage to achieve your goals? Or do you feel that you’re best off not striving? Those look like two opposite ends of a spectrum to me.

For me, self-acceptance leads directly to empowerment. I feel like my goals are legitimate and worthy of effort. It feels like the energy I might otherwise direct at inward discontent is free instead for other things.

Helplessness feels inert. I feel ok not striving for my [unachievable] goals.

Consider reading Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach. It’s written exactly for this.

All of that could be done sustainably if the energy we generated and used was sustainable. Electric trucks and trains, clean energy to run the cleaning facility, even the glass furnaces themselves can be run off electricity which is great if it is clean energy. And when it does break? You can throw it away without worry because it is completely inert and breaks down into sand. Throw all your glass into a specific area on a coast line and the waves will turn it into sand for free. Throw it in a hole as fill material and nobody will ever care because it doesn't pollute.
Yes, that's an interesting idea too as fossil fuels aren't the only problem.

I agree somewhat but the solution is tricky. You've described two problems, actually: 1) Community norms/culture and 2) censorship/banning. Ideally, the "next Reddit" would/should allow flagging content that is hateful/hurtful while providing a sensible (and formally regulated) means to appeal flagging, censorship and banning.

Ultimately, the Internet at large needs to grow past this adolescent stage that yields to mob rule and crudely divides people and ideas into "good" and "bad" without any discussion or nuance.

You are basically complaining that the client is loading too much data because you are sending them too much data.

You could publish the different languages in different folders/path, thus, using the static queries to build static pages.

If you want them on the same path while loading different language content dynamically, that migh not be the best use case for gatsby. In that case you probably need to load every translation for each of the included paths, but not every path with every language for all of the different pages.

Well, I know the general idea that he's trying to convey, since it's the same sort of message that I read in the nationalist press (e.g. El Mundo) day in day out, but I think if you intend to have a productive discussion you have to talk precisely, otherwise it's a waste of time. To say that a language is being "deterred" is not precise, it's vague and confusing, even if not technically incorrect (although I doubt that).
Where? Sounds improbable if the reusable bag is made of plastic (does it weigh 30 pounds empty?) and implausible if not.
Possibly? I guess I assumed there's some cost based reason that plastic is preferred over glass, even excluding for transportation costs due to lower weight and less cleanup costs in case of accidents and glass breaking.

It's probably a combination of all of these things, but the fact that no glass alternatives exist in the market in a similar price range as plastic options indicates there's an overall cost advantage for plastic.
It comes down to incumbent representatives ruining so many peoples lives that they have to be right.
