It's worrying that all someone has to do is put 'challenge' or 'game' at the end of a dumb idea and it'll spread around social media like wildfire. Suddenly everyone's recording a video of themselves to get acknowledgment from strangers in the form of likes or upvotes.
I agree. Where is this?

Altho’ I am more in favor of the German system that accommodates students of differing talents and aptitude.

California public schools tend to be more politically radicalized. We are good on the STEM front and academics/curriculum wise.

Altho UC just eliminated all ACT and SAT tests for admission eligibility, but I guess they don’t matter anyways.

I was just imagining the culture shock a Californian parent would experience when they are transplanted to Miami, FL. Hence the chortle.
How thick is the MacBook Pro lid compared to that phone — especially when you factor in curvature & the screen hardware? I think the discrepancy is mostly explained by cameras being a feature which phone buyers pay a LOT of attention to, whereas it was an afterthought for most laptop users prior to 2020 while thinness was a marketing goal, and don't forget that laptop buyers pay the full price up front while a LOT of people pay for their “free” phones monthly.

I'm not in any way excusing the crappy hardware — my iPhone 6S should not be a better webcam than anything built-in or on the normal market now — but I think this is a pretty expected outcome of market forces reflecting buyers' priorities.

I find that, ironically, a great deal of advice given to people on how to “be safe” is very counter-effective, for it inspires within them the mistaken confidence that they can easily recognize who is dangerous, and are thus more likely to drop their guard when such recognition yields a false negative.

I also recently saw a comment on a forum along the lines of “If Hollywood started to consistently cast beautiful people as murderers, murder would become more socially acceptable.”; — it wouldn't surprise me.
>> I have a question, should take you X (second|minutes), ping me when you're free

I can't remember the last time someone asked me a question where they have enough information/context that they'd be able to make a reasonable guess to X. There's a reason they're asking me a question! And curiosity about what their question is typically snipes my attention and disrupts my flow more than if they'd simply asked their question. If they want to show consideration for my flow, I'd much rather have either have something in my email queue instead of a chat ping, or - if they must chat - a query along the lines of:

> When you're free - [some kind of question or request]? No rush.

Or:

> Do you happen to know off of the top of your head where to find XYZ?

I'll leave chat pings unread for a minute if I'm in the middle of a thought. Once I do read chat, it's often easier for me to quickly answer (or redirect to a better resource), than it is to remember to ping them later, or wait for a second/third/fourth interruption later when I ask them to ping me after lunch/a meeting/dinner/??? if I haven't gotten back to them before then.
Agreed, but a middle balance could be met, such as the ability to vote on feature and bug fix priorities. You get the benefit of having a say in something that was already going to be worked on and the developer doesn't need to waste time on stuff that doesn't matter. All it would do is shuffle the order.

Yes. You carefully (half-)changed the subject in text and then shouted “hah; gotcha!” when I missed it.

There is no aviation diesel available for 402-sized airplanes and none for helicopters that I’m aware of.

You don't get that level of granularity from a single ping, but you theoretically could from hundreds, the noise will tend to center around the true location.

Also consider that more than 3 stations probably were nearby.
Gods, but this drives me absolutely nuts at work. Like OK, what?!

It tells me nothing about the urgency of the matter, let alone what it relates to. So I can put it to the side and keep working - but it's going to be nagging at me "hmm, what if it's about x?".

So now I've got to break focus and waste time just to find out how important it is, and what it even relates to.

I much prefer "Hi, I have a question regarding how to x, could you ping me when you get a chance pls?", or "Hi, we've got an urgent problem with x, the customer is losing their shit, pls help ASAP!"

The absolute worst is when the person giving you "hello" is someone you don't know (I work at a megacorp). From "hello" I will plainly have no clue what you want, so wtf?!

I wonder if it's a cultural thing. I don't think my colleague in the UK, Norway or Europe have ever done this, but it seems to be just about the only way my colleagues in India start a chat?
> People who do this are generally trying to be polite by not jumping right into the request

Sometimes it's the opposite and used as a trap to force you into answering something awkward on the spot - when you reply "yes?" in chat, they know if they ask something quickly after you'll feel obligated into replying immediately. Obviously I hate games like this but I've worked with others that complain about e.g. managers doing this often so they learn to absolutely dread "hello?" messages even when it turns out to be nothing.
Yep, also totally reminded me of that: http://ikeaordeath.com/
"More guns" is right.

I watched it live and then dug through the videos, selfies, etc after and inside the Capitol, I found one guy who might have had a gun. The other weapons appear to have been convenient - a fire extinguisher, flags, etc. It looks less and less like an "insurrection" and more like jackasses doing jackass things.
Different people have different communication styles. I have some co-workers who hate it when people do not say hello the first time I talk to them in a day. There are other who I can jump straight to the question even having not talked for months. And I have one coworker who will ignore your questions until you stop, say hello, and talk to them a bit about how things are going.

Anyone who gets to know their coworkers and change their own communication style to match their desires ends up having effective communications with them all.

On the other hand, dictating that everyone must cater to your own style can give you a reputation of being difficult to work with.

I actually like the idea but without a Pricing page it's hard to tell if it's build to last or just an experiment. OnlyFans is clearly for a different kind of content for now, until this changes I don't see why something like this shouldn't be considered a good alternative.

Other than github providing something similar, why don't they also expose something useful about github users supporter info through their API? Maybe they already do, don't think so.
I worry about this sort of model because it incentivizes you to poorly document your code, or alternatively, it breaks down if someone else documents your code well.

For instance - if there's a particularly tricky way to do something, and you release a sponsor-only video or post explaining it, and then one of your sponsors sees a question about the same topic on StackOverflow and explains it in their own words (StackOverflow already prohibits linking to external explanations without including an answer in-line), would you feel like that is unfair to you?

If you publish a performance trick (as demonstrated on this site), and one of your sponsors sends you a PR to improve performance in the common case, would you want to accept it?

As your project grows, more people will ask questions and more people will be building a community around it. If you want to have market exclusivity for answers, you effectively need to prevent that community from growing so that people must go to you.

It might be possible to do this at scale. This is part of Red Hat's business model, for instance: they have a customer-facing knowledge base that isn't public that includes answers to tricky questions. But Red Hat doesn't depend on the secrecy of this knowledge base. Your entire organization can get access to the KB if you buy a single Red Hat license of any type, which costs something like $50/year. And developers at Red Hat would be happy for those problems to get fixed in the upstream projects.

Red Hat's business model is more strongly around support instead of secret documentation, that is, around responses to specific questions instead of restricted-broadcast answers that help everyone. If you're having a problem in production, Red Hat can help you figure it out (as long as you've been paying them for server licenses for all your servers). And the knowledge base mostly exists to deal with the problem of people having limited time - they document something that's broken, but the intent is to actually solve it, not to leave it in the long-term state where it requires reading the KB article.

Now, people have been trying to do smaller-than-Red-Hat-scale support contracts for their OSS for a long while, and it's worked in some cases (e.g., SQLite, Postgres) but not in general. It might be the case that restricted educational material works out better in practice!

I didn't catch this! Good point.

The fact that its grievance politics doesn't mean the grievances are not real. It just means you have demagogues taking advantage of said grievances.

It's been said that riots are the voice of people who feel absolutely disempowered. I very much agree, and I think it applies equally well to BLM riots as it does to white working class people voting for Trump. Both are protesting a sense of total political disempowerment and being ignored and left behind, but in different ways.

My favorite quote from the 2016 election was along the lines of "I can't throw a Molotov cocktail through the window of the White House, but I can throw a Trump." A large number of avid Trump supporters viewed him as a human brick to throw through the window of what they view as an elite establishment that is absolutely dismissive of them.

America is classist and Plutocratic more than it is racist. Poor and working class urban blacks and poor and working class rural whites are both underclasses, and the fact that they are poor is more significant than their ethnicity. A wealthy black person, especially if they live in a top-tier city, is quite a bit "whiter" in America than a poor white person.

To add to other replies, the population is growing.

Also, there might be less children proportionately (is "peak children" behind us in absolute numbers?), and survivability is higher, making these dumb games proportionally more visible.

Of course, social media doesn't help. Firstly, for visibility. Secondly, everyone now has more connections to "dumb" friends, and a direct window into their lives. Lastly, current attention-focused recommendation algorithms often promote shocking, attention-grabing content, which makes such things both more visible, and likely to go viral.
It also rewards sharing such content: more prominently displayed, it is more likely to "get likes", and fuels the pool of attention-grabbing posts the platform can use.

Today's social media is full of perverse incentives, for a very marginal benefit to its users (even if that might not be obvious to them, as they are led to believe the contrary).
Just because you failed at crime doesn’t mean you didn’t commit a crime. Attempted murder is still a thing.

And I think you should probably read more about what actually happened. The initial photos were of idiots in horns and face paint and that has colored the public perception of what happened, but the clownshow gave cover to a smaller number of organized militia types compromised of former and active duty military and law enforcement. Those people were armed, came prepared, had intelligence about the layout of the building, and received updates on the location of MOC. They were there to kill and take hostages, and they came within minutes of achieving that goal.

Nothing about this was laughable, and the concern is not overblown.

I think a lot of what you’re saying is not true.

I say this living in Seattle. Nobody burned down my city. Chaz was pretty interesting; I visited and talked to people there. It was not a threat to the Union. :)

The things you seem to think are abundantly clear are not clear to people who lived through the events you’re hearing about.
People from Switzerland are probably the most patriotic in the world after those from USA. If it's made in Switzerland, you can be sure "Swiss-made" is prominent and there's a white-on-red cross somewhere visible.

But, honest question, is there such thing as the "Swiss guarantee" in tech?

What have the Swiss ever done for us, in computer science, to demand such respect just by mentioning the place of origin as certificate of trust?
I still prefer fountain pens because I find good nibs superior to the best rollerballs. Furthermore, they generate virtually no waste. Ink comes in a recyclable bottle and it's water-based, so the paper I write in can be easily recycled without aggressive solvents. The pen itself can easily last a whole lifetime.

If maintenance becomes bothersome, maybe you should look into good converters and simple water-based inks. You can easily use a fountain pen like this during many months before you need to go through one cleaning cycle. For cleaning, you can buy some special cleaning agents which you can use just like ink.

Some other pen setups like vintage piston fillers and saturated inks can be high maintenance. It makes a big difference to choose a simple ink and a simple pen. The latter can be as easy to use as a rollerball.

>I mean, if the chasm China had to cross was 'not have mass manufactured textiles' -> 'having mass manufactured textiles' I don't think anyone would have an issue

I guess we're so benevolent as to allow them to also steal the fire and wheel IP.

But textiles were part of the 17th-18th century chasm the US had to overcome. China has the equivalent 20-21st century chasms, which are not about textiles but more modern manufacturing and IP.

>Now, China is not only technologically competitive, but an authoritarian regime. Theft of IP no longer represents trying to get to where the rest of the world is, but rather trying to dominate it.

And yet, China has been non-intervetionist for most (all) of its existance (except for neighbor disputes all countries have), whereas the US has been in constant wars (literally, in the old sense, meaning: literally).

If anything, China itself was invaded, from the British and the Japanese.

Them being authoritate is, (a concept seemingly forgotten in the era of rampant interventionism and lack of respect for sovereignity), their problem.

Their people can take them up for it, now, or when they find it convenient. Or they might prefer it that way, for their own (e.g. cultural or historical) reasons. Or just because it works for them (since they did good, poverty, technology, education, etc. wise in the last 50 years or so).

Authoritative concerns are used politically (and thus selectively and at convenient times). When China was a convenient outsourcing outlet for US companies, being "authoritative" didn't matter one iota. When China grew more competitive itself, it suddenly became a problem.

>If you do it for freedom and democracy vs. authoritarianism, that matters.

Who "does it" for "freedom and democracy"? US businesses or state interests? They do it for control, greed, and lining their pockets, lip service to useful (for polemic) notions aside. And they do it in a much worse way (invasions, bombing, blackmailing governments, toppling governments, banana republics, etc) than anything China has done.

To the point that "delivering democracy" has become an international joke.

(Note also how they're also except from war criminal international treaties, environmental treaties, etc: "we judge, we don't allow anyone to judge us").
$45/hr full-time is $90k pre-tax, $65k after tax in CA. That’s $5400/month. If you have to pay for daycare or similar expenses, that’ll be a stretch, but you can definitely have your own pretty nice apartment and plenty left over for expenses and saving with that.
Java developer 6yrs here. I've worked in code bases and extended internal libraries that forgo the getters/setters model, for exposing member variables directly, and it's not better.

If you ever need to change something about that value, do additional logic before returning (I e. emit metrics), or model a data class with an interface having getter methods makes these so much easier.

I prefer the person to just ask the question. If I can't handle it now, I can come back to it, if they're around. Otherwise I have to engage with them just to determine what they want, which can be time consuming, and a potential time loss if it's not something I can handle. Also, they generally have no idea how long it might take, and too often the "quick questions" tend to be anything but.

>People who do this are generally trying to be polite by not jumping right into the request, like one would in person or on the phone - and that's great!

Different people have different reasons but I notice that many people that do a naked "hi" / "hey" are trying to see if the receiver is present for an immediate reply.

In other words, the sender deliberately wants a synchronous instead of asynchronous convo.

They don't want to type out a bunch of words for a question if the reply isn't going to happen for a few hours.

EDIT to reply: "Then send it in an email."

To clarify, some people don't want an async communication so switching to email doesn't solve their problem at all.

The issue is that some personality styles do not like sending questions into an indeterminant void. Thus, a naked "hi" for them is shorthand for "r u there to talk to me RIGHT NOW?"

I sympathize with their need for immediacy but I made a previous comment on why it drives me crazy: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17255452

Yep, some people are really confused as to why many async-preference people like me do not want to answer the phone.
That seems beside the point though. Nation-states could well coopt/dupe unwitting agents to do their deeds for them. Not necessarily saying that's what happened here, just making a point.
My off the cuff guess would be that social media has increased the rate of teen suicides.
Yeah I have found that experience too. You will get questions directed to you expecting expertise but some non-lead developer will actually be the expert. It's a funny one because there is nothing wrong with that situation but the 'tech lead' moniker contributes to the stress.
Well, no, it is not. Lombok does not mask invocations, so it is still foo.getA().getB().getC()

Is that a goal that anyone involved actually wants to implement? Does the code being visible really add any value? The problem isn’t in executing the contract among people who agreed to it.
This is why Kotlin has the best of both worlds. You can access a variable through A.b and it will automatically call the getter if there's one

I'm curious how/if this can handle sponsor theft. The mechanism: someone posts an issue and puts a bounty on it. A working fix is imported by a developer. The sponsor then grabs the diff and applies it to their own private fork of the code.

Most open source bugs never get fixed (or get fixed slowly), and this project would select further for issues that are not already being addressed for whatever reason. So it's not unreasonable to think that many PRs would not be merged inside 6 months, even if they are valid fixes. (Raise your hand if you've ever contributed a PR to an OSS project and had it linger for > 6 months.)

That risk, plus the low bounties identified by other posters here, seem very tough to overcome.
That's a good book, actually.
