My parents (tried and failed) to teach me similar values that they learned from their own parents.

But it got me thinking--I wonder if these "old guard" values are related to food scarcity? We (peoples of industrialized nations), live in a world of abundance when it comes to food. High calorie food sources are cheap and plentiful.

We don't need to chew our cheerios so much, because a machine already chewed them for us. We don't need to chew our chicken so much, because there's more where that came from.

In fact, the "chew your food" lesson in childhood always came up during meals where we ate steak, and not so much other meals. Now part of this was due to the fact that the steak was tough and chewy (they cooked it well-done). However, I think it's worth considering the fact that steak is expensive, and if I was eating steak then there was not more where that came from.

So maybe part of that "chew your food" lesson was actually a different one: "savor this food, because it's the last that you'll have until tomorrow."

Statement on performance is surprising, I haven't personally benchmarked Nim against Go so couldn't say about that.

But I started using Go for the same reasons pointed out in parent and after being tired of changing Python code to C to resolve performance issues.

How about concurrency?

This reminds me of (now from IBM) rational rhapsody from i-logix. Great tool back in 2004 for embedded development and c++ state charts. Also a nice c++ framework, oxf and Omreactive, almost revolutionary for that time. Still being maintained by IBM nowadays but on life support as far as I know.
You're ignoring over half of Silicon Valley's history in your narrative, including the population boom that gave the region its name and the vast majority of its growth.

Silicon Valley has been getting transplants since the 60s. The region has grown around 15-20% in the last 20 years. From 1960 to 1980 region roughly tripled its population. There's a reason why prop 13 came about in the 70s.

I'm not saying it will always be a tech mecca. But ignoring a majority of its history with tech just so you can compare it to Detroit seems disingenuous.
Do the VCs tend to insist that the projects they fund are also located in the Valley? If so, why?

It's off-the-charts irony to point ESR's observations to try to validate the author's response here, and to frame it in the terms of some monolithic "open source culture". The brogrammer devops culture in 2020 is starkly different from its forebears—the two hacker cultures in focus in CatB. In fact, the entire premise of the book (it's in the name!) is a commentary on the distinction of cultures and the risk of misleading yourself if you're not thinking clearly and make the mistake of conflating them.
Curiously in your opinion who ended up being more successful?
The headline sounds a little misleading:

> The Asahi newspaper reported that any such release is expected to take at around two years to prepare, as the site’s irradiated water first needs to pass through a filtration process before it can be further diluted with seawater and finally released into the ocean.

> In 2018, Tokyo Electric apologised after admitting its filtration systems had not removed all dangerous material from the water, collected from the cooling pipes used to keep fuel cores from melting when the plant was crippled.
Slideshow ( 3 images )

> It has said it plans to remove all radioactive particles from the water except tritium, an isotope of hydrogen that is hard to separate and is considered to be relatively harmless.

Water is water, so if they manage to sufficiently remove the contaminants I don't see much of an issue.

Go was a consideration and there are a few libraries internally existed for Go at that point, but nim in the end won out on acceptance and it convinced - despite the known risks of using a only semi-mature language - on feasibility in getting it done in time for the initial game release.

The PoC was incredibly quick to manifest, and iterating on it had quickly proven itself as a good way forward.

Peace of mind was a judgment call. Despite being a rather sizeable project now, what we had back then was already very stable and reliable (even under heavy benchmark load) and there weren't any great unknowns souring making the call.
Ok downvoters, this time I'll quote directly from the article:

The lamp is NOT transparent. It is translucent. In no pictures you can see any resemblance of transparency. It is translucent.
Caring for a smaller, homogenous, less geographically distributed population is definitely different from a larger, heterogenous distributed population - and that's a valid criticism of attempting to wholesale copy other countries. I just wish that the criticism was used as a launching point for questions like "How can we overcome those challenges?" or "What parts of the system would potentially transfer well?" instead of the rhetorical blunt instrument it seems to have become.
Heh, speak for yourself ;)

One thing that stuck with me about these kinds of questions was that logical "implies" can be translated to set theory as "is a subset of." Then I draw a Venn diagram and the lightbulb goes on instantly for me.
I think patreon would be great for your case. You already have 99 backers on Kickstarter who seemed to pledge a hefty average. It would take longer to get the Kickstarter lump sum but it would also keep generating income. If you make one you’ll have at least one patron (me)
AFAIK, the related question of whether an OSS license for a scientific software can require that people using the software cite the paper(s) describing the software, has been answered in the negative. You can ask nicely, but you cannot demand it under any of the existing OSS licenses.
> Neighbor trust

You misunderstood this. My trust of neighbors is more social and less technical. I am less likely to run into bots (and predators) on social media because local administration means those people must be within the jurisdiction of local law enforcement.

> The locality is a worst of both worlds, arbitrarily limiting discovery if they want to see and be seen and not providing any security as anyone could bridge access within or likely spoof an identity.

Part of the point would be to disallow this bridging. If you wanna be seen on both the internet and locally, that would be easy to do. But bridging outsiders into the local network means taking responsibility for them and their actions. And no one would want to do that unless it's people they know.

I have really strong tinnitus either when:

- I did not sleep enough

- I wake up in the middle of my sleep

- I drink a lot of alcohol

- There is a lot of noise arround me

- In few cases it's just random and get stronger for no apparent reasons
it's also underspecified if the desired answer is "not A implies not B". there are an infinitude of examples of that particular conclusion being false in the real world.

I think that you should stick to factual claims rather than trying to infer my mental state from my comments.
I don't think I consider songs to have a canonical rendition. However, I might consider a rendition of "Canzonetta Sull'Aria" by Britney Spears and Madonna to be 'incorrect', and this has less to do with their image than with their voices.

By all means, one should sing old songs, and for many purposes remember Chesterton's dictum that 'anything worth doing is worth doing badly'. But if one is going to market an album of X sings Y, it is well if X actually can sing Y close to tune.

To be fair that is probably was because hospitals were getting overwhelmed. Though in general I have seen a lot of poor and contradictory information coming from the WHO regarding covid. This one below may have been technically correct at the time but seems pretty irresponsible in hindsight.

This and also keep in mind that as mid mgr you become an IC to the business side of things, with its share of BS and politics. Now tell me, which one is "your team"... Mid mgr is not that much a position of power, more like a promise of decision control, but bureaucratic admin reality and twice expectations to meet.

Oh, well, there's some bright side to it too, it's all about the ppl sharing common goals, even if just for limited time. It can bring positive change.
HN covered a study that was looking for a motion sickness cure but found that holding a vibrator to the skull behind the ear stopped tinnitus for a lot of people.
> On the flipside, good citizen vendors frequently contribute upstream even when they don't have to.

I once discussed that with my employer and they agreed: it's almost never a good idea to fork a product in order to fix bugs, since you will have to continouiusly maintain the fork. If you get the fix upstream, you'll get the maintenance for free. So this often is not out of generosity, but rather in their own interests.
> Also, what do you think common carrier means? It doesn't mean "completely unmoderated"

Systems such as the phone network are pretty darn unmoderated. It is mostly unmoderated, even if common carriers are allowed to do a small amount, of highly restricted moderation actions.

> as you appear to believe

I have just clarified. It means that there are very strong regulations, that ban many forms of moderation.

> so why shouldn't they be allowed to perform moderation at the application layer?

I am saying that I would be fine if they were banned from doing most moderation actions, as is the case for common carriers.

And I am saying that I would be OK with them engaging in the very small amount of highly regulated moderation, that common carriers are allowed to do.

Common carriers have large restrictions on the amount of moderation that they are allowed to do. I want those same restrictions to apply to other media platforms.
I've had chronic tinnitus in my left ear since doing a hand-stand pushup over a year ago. I'd really enjoy not having this ringing. I wonder when/if it will make it to the United States.
Accounting firms and their partnership structure confuses me. Seems very archaic relative to corporate structures. Makes it hard to figure out who’s calling the shots.

When I go to the Canadian E&Y website, it says:

> EY refers to the global organization, and may refer to one or more, of the member firms of Ernst & Young Global Limited, each of which is a separate legal entity. Ernst & Young Global Limited, a UK company limited by guarantee, does not provide services to clients.

PwC refers me to a separate website for their structure: https://www.pwc.com/gx/en/about/corporate-governance/network...

KPMG has been mixing it up, per wikipedia:

> KPMG International changed its legal structure from a Swiss Verein to a co-operative under Swiss law in 2003[25] and to a limited company in 2020.[4]

Are they basically franchises? Is there some uber-partner at the global hq collecting massive commissions?

> This kind of ignorance could be overcome to some extent through massive information campaigns, but so far the US government at least is incapable or unwilling to do that. If anything, on some of the highest levels it's doing quite the opposite.

I think at this point we have enough data to understand what happens when we try to force people to think or believe things on a massive scale. Its not great.
The impression from the title is different than what the article actually says--EY missed red flags that resulted in passing the audit when it should have failed, and later scrutiny is what caused the companies to implode.
That report goes on to reiterate on one of the major points of the CA scandal, that executives of the company explicitly sold themselves as nefarious kingmakers willing to deploy blackmail and honeypots for a client in order to manipulate elections.

> All of this does not diminish the nefariousness of Cambridge Analytica and SCL. In fact, arguably the most egregious aspect of the company was their work in countries other than the US and UK. In an undercover sting, Channel 4 filmed CA CEO Alexander Nix boasting of the firm’s willingness to engage in unethical tactics including honeypots, bribes, blackmail and entrapment to swing an election.

To your point, the story largely was fake news because they failed to achieve their objective as election manipulators, not because they were wrapped up in some conspiracy theory that accused them of misbehavior. They were caught on camera going around to powerful people and telling them that they could manipulate elections and that absolutely cannot be overlooked.

There's an immensely wealthy market for this kind of service, and just because one player overhyped themselves and got caught up in a scandal that largely turned out to be nothing doesn't mean that someone else won't try again.
It really is the age old debate between static and dynamic libraries.
I don't think I've ever used the word 'implies' in that context, which may be the problem with the question. It still doesn't quite make sense in my thought process. Does a dog 'imply' a mammal? I wouldn't think so, a dog guarantees a mammal.

'Implies' to me suggests a possible underlying interpretation. If someone tells me he wants to eat, it implies that he is hungry. However he might not be hungry, he might be strict about eating at 8pm for other reasons. An 'implication' is perhaps the most likely association, but not necessarily the correct one.
I do wonder, however, how our environment is different. There's water everywhere, it's very hilly, and Seattle is literally built on top of older versions of Seattle.

I'm open to the idea that we spent more than we should have (even if it was under budget), but I'd want to see more data about the project and where the costs were unreasonably high.
If we had invested more in developing vaccines and treatments for the common cold, then maybe we would have tricks that would have helped us beat covid faster.
I think there is a distinction to be made between your consciousness leaving your body, and the feeling that your consciousness has left your body. One is clearly impossible, but the other, while less impressive, would still be a transformative experience.
I don't see how anyone sees the government as more trustworthy in this process.

The people paying these companies outrageous sums are the ones taking campaign donations from those companies. The people that decide that the high speed rail which needs to stop at every town along the route (and that the route needs to include all their towns) are -- again -- the politicians.

At every turn politicians stick their noses into the workings of infrastructure projects. Quality and cost finish well behind kickbacks to the politician and largesse to their supporters.

I honestly don't think it makes a good case study to be honest. Assuming what you say is true, I would still chalk up the shots/cuts to the artistic direction of the director/crew over anything to do with ADHD.

I think this falls apart even more when you compare Ghost Protocol to the most recent MI film, Fallout, which is the highest rated and grossing MI movie in the series. Just from an artistic perspective, it's shot very differently than Ghost Protocol.

I see the distinction, thanks.

I find this entire thread absurd though...if the person wanted to get fair credit, they should have used a different license. It's like saying "Hey, totally ok to have a beer from my fridge. But I'd really really plead you to drop in a buck... but only if you wish though. But I highly recommend it. It would be shame if you don't. Most people don't want to be shamed do they?"

Just be straight forward and put that in the license. Otherwise, it is truly optional and should be treated as such.

As much as I dislike having trillion dollar corporation not give a credit, that's why we have licenses.

I mean this point exactly (though I come at from the other side). If one wishes a big business to respect their commons then bite the bullet and use the "restrictive" (they are in fact freedom guaranteeing) commons protecting licenses (like AGPL) be radical. If one takes issue with the business practices of big business don't gently shove back with social expectations and a sound bite here and there, draw the hard line in the sand.

It is interesting to think about the fact that soylent is effectively "chewed for you" via pre-processing. Maybe if we could chew soylent then it would be a better food substitute, because we would feel fuller after eating it.
In theory, yes.

I remember once in college I was sitting at a table with some friends studying. One said, "how can you guys study with that light humming like that?"
