What I am proposing is: Keep everything for employees/freelancers < top 5%. If you earn more, you are obviously not being exploited, so there is no danger of false self-employment you have to be protected from.
Except we give government a monopoly on things like nuclear weapons...

well, in the really pedantic sense, you could inherit a billion dollars and not exploit anyone. It may be difficult to hang onto without a certain level of exploitation
Presumably anything popular enough has a good chunk of terrible devs?

I'm guessing there are some very unpopular languages out there that the % of highly skilled devs is pretty high, but I don't know if that means much ;)
Looks good! Does the interface organize mail by mailbox? Can you also easily send email from any mailbox? And is there blocking/accepting from specific senders?

In TricepMail, messages to e.g. hn@loh.tricepmail.com versus ignore@loh.tricepmail.com are separated in the UI, and you can configure the "ignore" mailbox to block all incoming messages. You can also setup mailboxes that accept messages from specific senders only.

TricepMail also has everything (and a bit more) that you've listed under "Web interface". TricepMail isn't meant to be used for trash/throwaways, but you can use it for that if you want. It's meant to compartmentalize real email for the demands of today, especially for things like the FCC requiring email addresses on applications.

For example, I would consider incoming email from the FCC to be extremely important (definitely not trash), but I wouldn't want to use my usual personal email address for this. I would still want to see it without going through all the hassle of setting up a separate email server and/or using a separate email client. I want everything in one simple, organized place. This is why I created TricepMail.

I've starred your repo. Looking forward to seeing its progress. :)

If you're logged in you can set it to always default to the old design. I do that, and disable all custom stylesheets, which is basically a necessity to make the site useable again.
Probably unpopular opinion on HN: but I really prefer the new design. finally something that doesn't scream "we have a sub-culture" but rather welcomes new users.
Leetcoding involves preparation for known problems and churning out solutions in least possible time. Most of the business have problems along the same lines (think of CRUD, authentication, authorization, UI animations etc ...) and they think people who excel in the former might do well in latter.

Edit: better sentence formation.
> Now who's taking the extreme position?

No. There is nothing extreme about:

>> you cannot project your belief system onto others

>> People should always have the choice to decide

>> Political or social pressure in any way is unhealthy.

You know what _is_ extreme? This is extreme.

> Should I get to choose whether taxes work for me or not?

Thinking that no people or entities make the very deliberate choice to not pay any taxes is not only extreme, it's blindingly and overwhelmingly untrue. We see people complaining all the time on HN about how Amazon, Walmart, etc., get away with not paying any taxes through their expert utilization of accounting, legal loopholes and insider access.

> Should I get to choose whether criminal law works for me or not? Sure be nice to take what I want and shoot anyone who tries to come after me, at least until we're all at each others throats.

It is indefensibly extreme to suggest this is not happening every day. I just wrote in my prior post how NYC's rapid increase in senseless violent crime is the actual pandemic here.

This summer during lockdown I was walking back from the grocery store and got randomly assaulted - punched in the face numerous times - by a complete stranger, who took nothing from me before running away. This is happening all the time now - in all regions of the world.

> People who are taking unnecessary risks aren't just projecting their belief systems onto others, they're threatening their health and their lives.

You are in no way certified to claim who is taking a risk and what constitutes that being a risk.

> it's better than not having a society at all

What we have now is the absence of society. And it's the most wretched, inexcusably grotesque thing I have ever seen governments do to their own citizens.

If this is the way life continues on Earth, who will truly want to live on it?
I think endgame is considered differently by different people, i.e. endgame for me is financial independence through micro-ventures thus FAANG, which I'm considering right now would just be to pay the bills and create a comfortable financial buffer until I can leave them taking with me the ex-google/facebook/netflix badge and cash on hand.

Many of these still stand - but that's presumably because they aren't really controversial - as indicated by the popularity by vote.

I think it's odd that the submitters of most of the opinions considered them controversial tbh.

> Rather than throw the whole thing out because the premise was once applied poorly, the legislation could restrict the actions taken with said logs. PII and the selling and collating of said information from multiple sources stand out to me.

I would say the premise of informed consent on this scale is flawed. Informed consent means they need to be informed, to inform someone you need to teach them. There are very few people who are actually interested in learning all the stuff that is required for informed consent. And there are people who literally would never be able to give informed consent because they are not smart enough to become informed. Are these people to be deined internet access? Are we only going to allow people of a certain level of intelligence on the internet so they can be informed?

Honestly, if you asked people if they would rather be shown ads they're interested in and ads they're not interested in. With it only being a choice of one or the other and neither is not a choice, people would rather have the ads their interested in. Seems like a lot of people are trying to solve a problem for the masses that isn't a problem for the masses.

Most people don't care if a website knows they used the website, they care if their data is used to overthrow the goverment. So really, we just need to deal with the stopping it from being possible to use to overthrow the goverment.

The problem isn't a lack of grammar, the problem is not having a grammar factored out of one specific codebase which implements the grammar, such that you can't be sure the existing code is doing the right thing except from the trivial standpoint of "this code is defined to be correct" which doesn't provide much of a basis for discussion.

Used to be some people had to ride half a day on a horse to conduct some government business. To me, that is the baseline, and anything beyond that is a privileged blessing, NOT a necessity.

I'm sorry what? This isn't the 1800's anymore, this way of thinking just astounds me. How can you anyone look at our modern times and say as long as your a half days horse ride away from a government office you got everything you need. You're ignoring that fact most people don't even have horses. Cars have existed for over 100 years now. You could at-least factor that into your baseline.

If we never move the baseline up then we lose the will to advance. We strip the upward mobility of our poorer citizens.

ease of access is something that I think is over-valued when it comes to government

The harder it is for your average citizen to due something the less likely they are to do it. It discriminates against the people who need help the most and concentrates power into fewer and fewer hands.

Take starting a Business for example, the harder it is the less people will do it. This is bad for our economy and society as a whole. Less small businesses means less jobs, less ways for people to lift themselves out of poverty. The more difficult Government is to interface with the more time someone has to devote to dealing with it. It means less time to focus on education or a small business, or their family, or health. It means they are more likely to be stuck where they are.

Ease of Access to Government resources can be directly correlated to some peoples quality of life. Think of Food stamps or welfare to the people who need it.

I think it's hard to make the case that someone may be excluded just because they don't have internet

No, its pretty easy, most libraries have been closed due to Covid. Many people might not have reliable access to the internet atm. Which in the supposed best country on Earth is scary.
The thing is, from many sources I keep hearing that the suggested unchangability of terms and pay is just a negotiation tactic. They will come to you with printed documents, with policies that things totally cannot be changed, it's like that in the system, there is just no way. Then in many cases magically there are suddenly ways to change all those things after some more negotiation. You obviously need a strong position for this, good alternative offers etc, but you don't have to be Michael Jordan for the above story to happen.

A lot more things are open to negotiation than some people imagine. Even including buying a fridge at your local chain store or similar. Not every time, and not to everyone who merely says "I want".

I dont know if I like this advice. I feel like you will never find a home at any company if you are always looking for the next one.

It's like a relationship, you'll never truly love the one you are with, if you keep dating or looking at others.

Plus, just a general poor moral value, IMHO.
Of all the companies I have interviewed with, the only ones I ever joined had sane, non-leetcode interview processes. I have actually reached a point where I see companies asking those questions as churn factories to be avoided rather than schools of practice. If/when I find myself interviewing again I will be declining leetcode interviews.
I love RIF as well. It's so simple and straightforward but with all the features of the website. It seems be well down the list of Android app in popularity though, I don't know why.
Most of those are not CPU tests. But even in the link you provided 865+ has best performance/watt in every test in GPU Performance & Power.

Agreed. If a TrackPoint was offered, then from my wallet money would ejaculate.
If you have a specific brand font, it's not going to be on Google Fonts anyway, so you're gonna self-host. And if you don't have a specific brand font, you should really just use web safe font stacks that leverage local fonts. System fonts look a lot better these days than they used to.

Basically, does anyone who's doing serious work use Google Fonts anyway? I just assumed it was a thing that mostly hobbyists and personal websites used.
Laws and the adherence to those laws generally fall into managing a country, no? So saying "But other countries did it!" with respect to something like prohibition doesn't really work, apples to apples.

My point is simply that managing the enforcement of a law like prohibition is very different between 800m and 8m people.

I agree. One of the many, many, many areas where Sun dropped the ball was the failure to implement a good HTML control in Java. HotJava was very basic.
Cancellation is a little tricky. If things can cancel at any point, then it's impossible to write safe/correct code. Async has the advantage that the await calls are natural sync points, so it's (probably) safe to cancel there. But historical experience has also shown that people will forget to yield when they should, and it will lead to cooperation problems.

I think the best approach has to look something like Go's, but perhaps a bit more structured (dynamic scoping[1] might help perhaps with task nurseries[2]). Unless you're writing extremely low level code, you want your language runtime to intercept all syscalls and figure out the async story for you. The language should handle making sure that the M:N mapping works out, no one opens a socket the wrong way etc. Then for you as the program writer, your responsibility is just setting explicit cancellation points as part of the general error handling approach. It's still not perfect, but I think that would be the next evolution from what exists today.

> I fail to understand why people think that Java is absolutely the best “first” programming language to be taught in universities.

Because it’s the language used for the AP test. I hate it as well that students know it first.
Fair point about the abstraction level of a Java thread vs an OS thread.

In light of both things you just wrote, let me ask you this: why does Java give us any choice on thread implementation? Why not have everything be a green thread from now on?

If Java threads are not OS threads, can be paused for any amount of time, and there's no reason that network calls or db calls or file IO should be treated any differently, then I'm not sure why the old Java Threads shouldn't be deprecated.

Can you shine some light on that? After Loom drops, when would I ever want something other than a green thread?

You played with lego for your entire childhood, no education at all?

Personally I love homeschooling (ie teaching my kids out of a school environment), but kids wither without educational input and intellectual nurturing. You can expect a kid to develop well without educational input shut in a room by themselves for weeks on end, even if their parents can afford lego.

Histools: Visualizing my browser history over time
It’s been one less since their app started spamming my phone with notifications a few months ago. I suspect those kinds of engagement hooks are part of the reason they have been pushing the app so hard, but I got so tired of it that I uninstalled it from my phone. Fortunately they’ve also made the mobile/web experience so horrible that I’m not even tempted to wade back in. I had been a daily user for more than 10 years until that point.
Or at least they should be able to understand the project from a technical point of view.

One of the most frustrating things working with non-technical managers is their lack of understanding of the effort needed to accomplish a task. Oh you need to re-write an entire library from scratch, work with Joe and have it done by Wednesday (today is Monday).

Now good luck explaining and convincing them that two days is not enough.
>There’s no such this as “overtime” in most salaried jobs though. You’re paid just for being an employee, not for hours worked.

If there's no concept of overtime in most salaried jobs, there's a problem with your country as well.

I'm a salaried, full-time employee and I'm paid to work 37.5 hours a week, no more, no less. And the collective agreement for IT services industry (which is what concerns me as a developer) dictates that 40 hours/week is the maximum.

If you want to read our collective agreement, you can find it here: https://tietoala.fi/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/TES__englanti... Working hours are on page 19 (21 on the PDF).
I think it's generally what he said. We age in one or two ways - get old and decrepit, or get overwhelming experience/skill which is tremendously useful. The first scares people and a lot do assume it's just the first part - maybe they think I am unaware of the second.

Thanks for your reply! For full context, I am older too, that's why I asked.
I agree that it's better than the new mobile web, but its design still feels super clunky and dated.

I remember a certain version of mobile web in 2017/2018 that worked GREAT. But then reddit decided to mess it all up by forcing mobile web users to use their (bloated and ad-filled) app and making it hard to access certain communities and read more than 2 layers of child comments.

I guess that's what relentless pursuit of advertising money/monetization targets over actually listening to the community (that made the product what it is now in the first place) does to a company.

Reddit has really been emphasizing its social aspect lately, so I wouldn't be surprised if it introduced a Friends/Followers section and shifted towards a more personalized front page.
>I know people that connect everyday from home to the office network to work one or two hours (extra) otherwise it's impossible to keep up with the workload.

If you ban work from home doesn't that mean those people have to stay at the office 1-2 hours longer to do their work?

I just picked up a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7. The only thing I can fault it on is the screen, the brightness is a bit anemic and there is some bleed. However, the performance is fantastic. I've been using it for image processing, and the 8C16T gets through my problems at the same speed as my desktop Ryzen 2700X. Similarly the onboard GPU is sufficient for playing Witcher 3, at just a slightly lower performance than my RX580.

It has 2 legacy USB-A ports, MicroSD, HDMI and a USB-C-3.2 which I've used to run a 4K screen at 60Hz.

Price was very reasonable. I'm happy, this has stepped up my laptop CPU performance by a factor of 4, the GPU can now do all the stuff I want from a laptop, and it's compact and has good standby life.
Well this sounds cool but I think the stolen bikes would be reduced to space parts very easily, which I agree is a hurdle for the thieves but still I personally wouldn't risk it.

What is it about the old design that screams "we have a sub-culture" to you? For me, it's just a clean, simple, fast interface.
Good for Reddit, but I'm becoming increasingly disillusioned with the entire site and how it's managed. The astroturfing isn't even subtle and the same few dozens of accounts dominate the front page day in and day out. The content on the frontpage, r/popular, r/all is starting to congeal into screenshots of tweets.

The mods of the biggest subreddits don't seem to care if the content that gets posted actually lives up to the title and purpose of the subreddit. At this point I'm convinced Reddit's platform is being used as a propaganda tool, with the goal of bombarding users with the same views in every major subreddit.

+1 for the point about the complexity of the German tax code. As a foreigner it's even worse for me, given the frequent use of German words never encountered in every day language. When the majority of people either ignore it or employ an accountant to do their taxes for them, the system is broken. I came from the UK where it's relatively simple and basically automatic if you're not self employed.
