Heat. You cannot just daisy chain batteries ad hoc wherever you find the space. These things produce heat. Too much and battery life will degrade rapidly. Much too much and fires start. And too little heat (drawing from frozen batteries) or inconsistent temperatures of batteries in the same circuit can cause all manner of nasty low-voltage surprises.

Get others around you to believe and hope in your neighbourhood and then as a team, you can start to dictate what you want the neighbourhood to be like. Many people are willing to help in my experience but either don't because of lethargy or fear.

For example, some people in an estate in London got together and started planting flowerbeds to make the estate look really nice. Because everyone was involved, you can imagine what happened when some people from another estate came to damage it (hint, the locals stood up for themselves and their hard work).

Work out what makes your neighbourhood "most dangerous" and target some of that. Perhaps lobby for more streetlights, clean up some areas, pool some cash to help fix up someone's house.

If anyone ever tells you directly that you fall into one of these categories, please laugh in their face and quit ASAP.

This is dehumanizing. You're being categorized for organizational purposes. It dictates how to interact and manage these stereotypes instead of actually talking about the problem and treating people like humans (much less as coworkers and colleagues).

> If you develop a program for a long period of time by only adding features but never reorganizing it to reflect your understanding of those features, then eventually that program simply does not contain any understanding and all efforts to work on it take longer and longer.

The author doesn't take the next logical step: what factors prevent the reorganization of a program?

One factor that comes to mind: lack of automated tests. Those working on the program are scared to change anything for fear of breaking something.

Last time I looked at printers I found no FOSS options. Most of the time, buying a whole new printer costs less than simply buying replacement ink. This is horrible for the environment. Are there _any_ alternatives in this space?
I tend to associate "poorly edited" with "on a passionate rant" and "edited" with "slow and thoughtful".

It might not be fair, but I do like to know the mindset the article is written from.
The transition started earlier, just think of "The Bottle Deposit" in Season 7 (the last season Larry David was showrunner), which could be entirely a Simpsons episode with Homer and Barney instead of Kramer and Newman.

IMHO, the combination of silliness and darkness in "The Invitations" (also Season 7) is also very much comparable to "Homer's Enemy", although the Seinfeld episode is much darker.

Ask HN: I’m interviewing at a pre-IPO company, how do I know if I’m too late?
One of the main draws to startups is getting in with some equity that could be worth a lot once the company goes public.

I’m interviewing at a well known, probably-soon-to-IPO company that has already raised a few rounds (they might be on C or D). How can I tell if the comp deal I’m getting has the potential to be worth a lot? Or what should I look for that signals they’re not really willing to go to bat for this role?
> If you're running Kubernetes, you're almost always still running Docker.

Red Hat is trying to base all their stuff on Podman, which is Docker rewritten to by a script instead of a client/server (but can be renamed and used as a drop-in Docker replacement with the same command API). If they have their way, that statement will not longer be quite as correct.
It does seem likely they did, we were both territorial predatory species (or sub-species if you like). However I doubt Homo Sapiens and Neanderthalensis were monolithic groups. There would have been patchwork local rivalries and maybe alliances over time. It’s also interesting just how long we lived alongside each other.

I wonder if there were ever any mixed communities. Human Hunter gatherers are know to take captives and slaves, which over generations could lead to a level of integration, just as one possible mechanism, although there are plenty of other plausible scenarios over that amount of time.
The only thing you listed that isn’t well on its way to electrification is aviation. And even in that space I expect general aviation to electrify first, since it’ll suffer badly under the price swings I mentioned. Commercial aviation mostly uses kerosene, so my comment above still holds.

I’m actually in the market now for a lawn mower, and electric is price competitive once you factor in lifespan and maintenance costs. Plus I don’t have to deal with two stroke motors, which are awful things. I genuinely doubt that they’ll even sell gas lawn mowers by the end of this decade.
Honestly consider the possibility of negative impact by increasing local wealth inequality. I’m assuming that you may live in a bigger house. You may shop at more expensive stores. You may have house cleaners.

Wealth inequality generally supports a servant economy more than a self-sufficient economy. Yes, you inject cash, but you are also diverting labor towards local services instead of global industry.

I know that it sounds silly for tech yuppies to talk about global industry in these desperate places, but that’s their only way out. They have to produce; they can’t just do services for any remaining wealthy residents, and rely on the government when the last ones leave. And you have to trust them to find a way.
Treating desks like hotel rooms instead of apartments. Instead of having one desk that is "yours," you get assigned to any available desk every day. It seems like a terrible way to work, but it cuts down on the overall number of desks needed since large offices will never have 100% attendance.
This is typical of semiaccurate. It is awful.
I think that’s a level of media sophistication that’s hard to instill in people. After all, motion pictures, literature, and art of all kinds produces emotional effects because at some level, people accept what’s presented to them. It takes consistent effort to remember that the thing we’re experiencing is not a naive, straightforward presentation “from nowhere” without any sort of goal, whether innocuous or nefarious.

Piss off. People trying to make code better should (almost) never be discouraged. I feel like this article is just pissing and moaning, and sure enough, the first line confirms it:

> Need to channel my election anxiety into something productive, so here you go.

Productive my ass.

ETA: I may be a bit biased - I've seen more than my fair share of dirty code. Yeah, clean code won't save the environment, but you know what? It will save me and countless others immeasurable time, and that is a goal worth striving for. Peoples' lives are short enough already. Code will be read many more times than it will be written.

Why does the permission of their parents matter, even in the slightest? Do parents have the right to marry away their pre-pubescent daughters in our society?

In addition, a large portion of sexual abuse is from family, and the parents of child actors don't exactly have the best reputation when it comes to not abusing their children, and show business in general doesn't have the best track record on this either. Remember Corey Feldman?

> You really think the actresses are traumatised after this?

Yes.

> Why?!?

I think children being told to perform sexually explicit dances while in revealing dress for the enjoyment of adults (the nuances of such enjoyment will be lost on the child) will likely have a negative effect on their mental health later in life and yes, is a traumatizing experience, because they are being coerced into performing a sexual act, the likes of which they cannot understand or consent to due to their age. It doesn't matter if the coerced sexual act is stated to be in opposition to coerced sexual acts: the child has no choice! I shouldn't have to explain this!

If Taxi Driver could make a movie about sexual exploitation of young women without forcing Jodie Foster to literally dance in undress I think we can hold other filmmakers to the same standard.
You tell them that it's a priority. You make it clear that they're continued work on projects includes these priorities. you tell people to include this stuff in code reviews.

Frankly it doesn't matter what the company's finances are. It matters the code is written well. This is a metric for which you can write code well.

You also don't push unrealistic deadlines. You include sufficient time for any ticket to also have a refactoring step.you allow people to refactor code without having to open a ticket

> or you can dust off your resume and get out before it burns down

Last time I left a job, this was a big part of it. The company simply refused to learn from their mistakes.

Now I find myself in a similar boat again. The only thing that seems to matter is the day's emergency, and everything else is put off indefinitely. This, obviously, leads to more emergencies in the long run. And yet for some reason the company seems to be coping and is growing rapidly. Perhaps it is time to dust off the ole CV again, or perhaps this is a transient thing. Time will tell?
Yes I agree, you can always do that and set Route53 as your dns for some specific AWS functionality. For instance static site hosting on a S3 bucket on your main domain (not www) isn't possible without having your domain in route53.
Bigger threat of losing domains is not paying for them.
I do not believe that it is a desirable target to mimic the default behavior of scp.

I my opinion, the default behavior of any file copy program must be to make exact copies of the sources.

I find it very annoying that all UNIX copying programs do not have this behavior and by default they will lose information.

Therefore I always use aliases for all copying commands (cp, scp, rsync etc.), so that by default they will make exact copies.

For example, to make exact copies rsync needs "--archive --xattrs --acls", and cp needs "--no-dereference --recursive --preserve=all". cp also needs to be compiled with enabled extended attributes, which many Linux distributions disable, otherwise you lose the extended attributes without any warning or error.

Another trap on Linux, which may prevent making exact file copies, is when tmpfs is used for /tmp and some file is copied through /tmp, e.g. for passing it to another user. A copy through tmpfs may lose extended attributes and it also may truncate the timestamps of some file systems.
Except rural people aren't going to agree to that because it would mean an increase in taxes as well as massive amounts of state and federal intervention into their communities.

Edit: I do not buy that death threats have anything to do with the present stalemate. We are nowhere near a historic high water mark for pokticial violence in this country. The 1850s, turn of the century and 1960s were all very violent periods and the US government did not find itself paralyzed then.

The biggest change is that one party has been over run by a philosophy that the government simply cannot do things well or make them better. You cannot launch a ship when half the crew denies that it will float.

First issue mentioned: CVE-2019-6111 is an example of such attack.
You're absolutely right that it's not a coin distribution method, but it doesn't lock you into a distribution method. You could come up with one, theoretically. Heck, you could distribute the OG coins via proof-of-work if you wanted to, which is more or less what I believe Ethereum would do, as it started out as a proof-of-work chain and would swap at some point.

That actually might be the best way, as you're proving that you believe the coin is worth something in the beginning by burning work, giving your initial stake consequences.
Unpopular opinion, probably here, but definitely among people I've shared this with before: The phrase technical debt is a red flag itself and probably should never be used.

Most people seem to get that the issue of technical debt is really a business issue about tradeoffs. So, if the person who is concerned about technical debt is senior enough they will have some ability to see the business tradeoff and thus can completely avoid the phrase. They'd say instead something like "I was thinking that if we changed X we would get value Y."

A person who uses the phrase Technical Debt is signaling that they aren't capable of saying something that direct.

That's one issue.

And then the other issue is that a huge amount of technical debt is just code that a more senior engineer would refactor as they went. It's a junior engineer who says, "this is a huge mess and I need a full stop of my contributions to the business so that I can focus on untangling it."

But the problem with junior engineers doing refactoring/rewriting is that they end up creating a different mess of code and bugs.

Am I right 100% of the time about this? No. But I'd love to raise for engineers here that although the phrase technical debt caries a lot of emotional weight, it also brings a lot of baggage from all the times management has heard the phrase from someone that didn't understand the bigger picture. With a little bit of work you could understand the business implications and then end up completely avoiding the use of the phrase.
No, it's a well known character.

I think your concern is valid but unfounded. This is fortunate - otherwise the way to help the poor would be to vandalize their neighborhoods, which is a strange conclusion.

It's true that increasing quality of a neighborhood will increase its housing price. This will have disparate impact: (1) it will help people who enjoy higher quality, but (2) it will hurt people who would prefer low quality and lower price. However, I think it's important to remember that the stock of people and housing are mostly fixed. If you raise the quality of one neighborhood so that more people bid to move in, then at the same time there must be other unobserved neighborhoods where prices fall. Therefore there is also a third effect of making a neighborhood nicer: (3) it can lower prices in other neighborhoods.

One way I like to visualize it is as a supply curve - if you move some neighborhoods up in the desirability ranking, then by conservation of rank, others necessarily fall in rank.

The argument I sketched above isn't a proof, obviously. There are edge cases where higher quality induces more people to own multiple homes or to live with fewer roommates, and nuances where heterogeneous preference for locations may make it harder on someone who needs to commute to their job and really would be better served by a cheap neighborhood, but for the most part I think it's reasonable that making neighborhoods nice is an overall positive good for the world.
Unfortunate? That guy has done some bad things.
Much important change happens one individual at a time. So I would say: 1) Honesty (with kindness). 2) Treating others the way oneself would want to be treated (the Golden Rule). 3) Be observant for anyone doing anything good & praiseworthy and encourage them ("good job at ___ing! Way to go! I like it!"). 4) find opportunities to serve, and also encourage others. One way is via https://www.justserve.org/ which lets individuals find organizations looking for local volunteers, or organizations post what they do so individuals can find them (free).

edit: 5?: While at it, be good to your family. An excellent long-term investment.

Just read Beyond Good and Evil. It's pretty clear that Nietzsche is either ignorant (less likely) or trolling (more likely).

Nietzsche is happy to take the Stoic phrase of "according to nature," but isn't happy to use the Stoic view of nature. Instead, Nietzsche substitutes his own view, pretending as if the perspectives are one and the same.

It's hard for me to believe that Nietzsche didn't know enough about Stoicism to understand that he was arguing in bad faith. Despite presumably knowing better, he falls into the same misunderstanding that most novices do about Stoicism - that it somehow glorifies indifference at the cost of purpose, mercy, justice, regard, and so on.

"Indifferent" is a dangerous word to use in this context. Here I use it in the contemporary sense of "apathy." But it's important to note that "indifference" to a Stoic is more subtle - meaning neither good nor evil (or - dare I say - beyond good and evil), but not implying actual apathy.

Stoics did not view nature in this way. Most notable Stoics believed in Zeus - and consequentially in intelligent design. They held reverence not for an empty, random, and nihilistic nature, but for one of purpose, order, and beauty.

It's clear by observing the life of any notable Stoic that they valued the same qualities Nietzsche accuses them of disavowing. Pairing Nietzsche's criticisms alongside the very first book in Marcus Aurelius' Meditations:

Are Stoics really "profligate" (wildly extravagant/shamelessly immoral)?

> From my grandfather Verus I learned good morals... From my mother... simplicity in my way of living, far removed from the habits of the rich.

Are Stoics really "without purpose and regard"?

> From Apollonius I learned... undeviating steadiness of purpose

Are Stoics really "indifferent without measure" or "without mercy and justice"?

> From my brother Severus, to love my kin, and to love truth, and to love justice... a polity administered with regard to equal rights and equal freedom of speech, and the idea of a kingly government which respects most of all the freedom of the governed

Indeed, Nietzsche is so far off the mark that he would have benefited from observing the same virtues that Marcus enumerates:

> From Rusticus I received the impression... to abstain from rhetoric... and to read carefully, and not to be satisfied with a superficial understanding of a book

Nietzsche was content to have a superficial understanding of Stoicism - or at least was content to mischaracterize it. The Stoics have much to say of their view of nature - and much of it I discard without the intelligent design component. But that doesn't change that Nietzsche cannot honestly substitute his view of nature for the Stoics and fairly criticize them for the contradictions that arise.

Part of the beauty of the Stoic philosophy is that it's far more forgiving than Nietzsche. Marcus also learned from Rusticus:

> with respect to those who have offended me by words, or done me wrong, to be easily disposed to be pacified and reconciled, as soon as they have shown a readiness to be reconciled

Marcus wouldn't mind Nietzsche's criticisms very much.

> I also feel like it's really informed me that I don't trust products with long warranties. It seems from my personal experience, the longer the warranty the more questionable the quality, and the harder to get the warranty honored. And of course if the product is terrible, the company will go out of business leaving you high and dry anyway.

I mean, fwiw, I've had the opposite experience in many cases. And I'd hate for the outcome to be that companies are actually incentivized to offer shorter warranties so that customers believe they're real.
Yes, it's been conclusively demonstrated that there was Neanderthal introgression into the modern human genome. There's no little to no evidence (or theory for how to operationalize what we have to that end) for how they would have been perceived though.
The BBC headline is interestingly different from the original article's more equanimous "War in the time of Neanderthals: how our species battled for supremacy for over 100,000 years." The phrasing implies Neanderthal volition and cohesion against a non-aggressive and similarly cohesive "us."
