There are several ways forward. Some are incompatible with our current way of life in the US but work elsewhere. Others you might not find palatable.

People need something to believe in. Religion can be an answer. If we were all Roman Catholics we might not need to question who won the election because there would be no elections, just clergy.

If we all believed in universal humanism we wouldn’t be fighting race and class wars in our police departments.

If we all believed in communism we wouldn’t be fighting about distribution of wealth because there would be nothing to distribute.

If the US was actually 50 tiny countries, each could choose better what they believe in. Vermont and Texas have very little in common with each other both geographically and socially.

One path forward is to do what the USSR did: come down hard on being uneducated. It was culturally unacceptable to be an anti-intellectual in the late USSR. Today in the US you have people like Bush winning presidential campaigns against people like Kerry because Kerry is too intellectual and Bush is a “salt of the earth” kind of guy. We don’t trust smart, preferring accessible.

Another path is to have a unifying event that galvanizes the country. WWII certainly got people to be more on the same page than not... At the cost of millions of lives of course because humans will be oblivious to anything but the most obvious things put in front of them.

Education can help, if you accept that it is a form of indoctrination. Few college grads or those with advanced degrees believe in the flat earth. Is that something you are ok sacrificing?

Basically, it’s trade offs. You can’t have universal absolute freedom and consensus on what facts are because if people are free to believe that our politicians are lizard people from another planet without much consequences to that lunacy, some will.
This is disgusting.You literally advocate for governments to strip people of their human rights.

Yea that’s “the joke”. It’s just like “sharks are harmless, more people die of vending machine accidents than shark attacks”.... people live in very close proximity to vending machines, not sharks. Same for the “most accidents happen within 25 miles of home”, yes, because you are very commonly less than 25 miles from home.
Beware of logic alone, because it works just as well with false axioms and gives no tools for navigating the map between the precise discrete objects of pure abstract logic and the fuzzy constructs of reality.
A 2% difference is pretty small, though. Small enough that the top four or so minifiers appeared to have very similar performance - just depended on which codebase you were using. If you're picking a minifier, I'd definitely go with esbuild given that it falls in that 'top of the pack' group and is vastly vaster.

If someone were only interested in the smallest possible minified size, the appropriate solution would be to use all of these minifiers every time and choose the smallest result.
I have a similar advice, but I will go one step further: add README.md to other folders as well. It is dope to have a map of your whole system in an Architecture.md (or a README if it's not too long), but it's even more dope to be able to click through it and have submaps of how other components are structured.

Displaying the folder/file structure and explaining what is what is a must. An example from Diem[1]:

consensus
├── src
│ ├── block_storage # In-memory storage of blocks and related data structures
│ ├── consensusdb # Database interaction to persist consensus data for safety and liveness
│ ├── liveness # RoundState, proposer, and other liveness related code
│ └── test_utils # Mock implementations that are used for testing only
└── consensus-types # Consensus data types (i.e. quorum certificates)
└── safety-rules # Safety (voting) rules

I recently digged into dependabot's code, and I found it extremely well structured. For example you have an Architecture section in the first README[2] with a diagram (how awesome is that!) and with links to the README of all the sub components, which themselves live in the subfolders[3].

What I dread the most is going through a new codebase and not seeing any documentation in internal packages. Like how the fuck am I supposed to understand anything in there? By reading all the code?

So I guess that means this service relies on YouTube provided subtitles.

> The question is how feasible it is?

In my experience (omnivore -> vegetarian -> vegan), going vegetarian is not too difficult. Going something like pescatarian, or even just eliminating red meat -- that's downright easy. I am not a particularly great cook, but my grocery bill dropped noticeably when I went vegetarian because I was buying more vegetables for the first time in my life. Even when eating out I had to make very few adjustments. Most restaurants around me have great vegetarian menus. I feel like it's not a particularly difficult transition to make.

On the other hand, going vegan was harder. Part of this is how good you are at cooking. Part of it is that you have to research a bit more. I take supplements (D3, K2, B12) as a vegan. I never worried for a second about my nutritional input when I went vegetarian. And again, if you're going pescetarian and still eating a fair bit of cheese/eggs, I just really doubt nutrition is a concern for most people. But after going vegan, suddenly I had to actually think about some of these nutritional questions that I was able to ignore before because I just ate a lot of eggs and cheese.

You can make veganism a lot cheaper (and plenty of people do), but I'm lazy and bad at cooking, so I buy more specialty vegan products, which are expensive. I put up with it, it's fine, it's doable, but being vegan is annoying sometimes, and it requires more work.

Again, it's doable. It's fine, lots of people make it work, I make it work. You can be vegan and healthy. But in terms of effort/work to be healthy and to keep costs down, I think that veganism and vegetarianism are in separate categories.

But importantly, you don't need to go vegan to see improvements here. If you're talking about "meat-avoiding" in general, just getting rid of red meat from your diet will have a positive environmental impact, and will probably be both healthier and cheaper as long as you put at least a tiny bit of effort into not just eating only Impossible burgers and mac&cheese. You can already in many places get raw tofu significantly cheaper than red meat, and after that it's really just learning how to make stir fries and figuring out 'new' foods like mushrooms and beans.

Part of the benefits here are that in general, most people who aren't following a specific diet probably shouldn't eat as much meat as they do anyway. So if the end result is that you eat one serving of plant-based meat alongside some eggs/veggies/beans, instead of three servings of steak, that's very likely to be both healthier and cheaper.
Not to be snide, but was wondering if the number of bathrooms available in a family might matter. Growing up with sisters, that was a frequent source of tension.
Wow the transcription looks better than the automated one rev.com provided for a video where the speaker had a bit of an accent. Very cool - what transcription software is it using?
There is no way to satisfy the growing in a way that is not damaging to the environment. And that’s leaving aside any questions of ethics themselves.
It's not a healthy outcome to marriage. You don't get married to be divorced later. The problem is that our society has out-advanced marriage but people still did not realize it (although marriage rate are trending lower).

Marriage made sense when the population was sparse, the parents needed workforce, and the woman needed protection. Most of that doesn't apply today. Marriage is mostly a "reliquat" from former society's traditions.
The optimal crop certainly depends on weather. In northern Brazil they double crop corn for insane yields of 22M calories per acre. In Wisconsin they grow wheat for 4m calories per acre. Farmers in the Midwest split between soybean (oil/protein 6m calories per acre) and corn (carbs 11m calories per acre).

Optimizing yield per acre, adjusting for the value of oil/protein/carbs and weather is the best explanation for the current state of what gets planted.

If you have a desert with access to cheap labor, water, and transportation, then the best thing to do is sell organic strawberries to rich people. Rich people don’t like spots on their fruit.

I am a believer that the invisible hand is what drives farm decisions. As soon as someone invents a robot that can pick blueberries and deliver them to a store, I’ll never eat another banana.

> parents of teenage daughters argue more about parenting than do the parents of sons

From my own experience. When my daughter hit 12 it was a fucking nightmare. The hormones hit girls hard and they can become incredibly difficult. That said, now she’s 13 things are much easier and look to be getting easier by the week. Although my wife and I both have to be very understanding and on the same team to deal with difficult behaviour — we have a lot of strategy meetings.

Lacking empathy, and wanting independence without responsibility are part of being a teenager. But 12-year old girls can sometimes be super charged griefers.

On the flip side, teenagers are actually awesome to hang out with and total joys full of creativity and fun — if you work through the refusal to clean their room, general lack of hygiene and the drama.
Not exactly apples to apples, but I'd like to plug in Vite: https://github.com/vitejs/vite

Not that it makes fast minification (which I don't care that much about, I minify only on deploy, and it's a small % of the time it takes), but it does allow for a very fast workflow in dev mode: auto reload seems almost instant even with heavy transpiling.

I only mention it because I assume people look at this articles and think about their dev process speed as well.

If you haven't, give it a try: it's from the Vue author, so it's really clean, but works with react as well.

There is so much wrong here... but assuming that you are trolling and ignoring you. For anyone else that might be curious:

The danger AFTER an avalanche is near zero. There are very rarely second avalanches in the same place, their whole mechanism for sliding is more or less and all or nothing scenario.

After an avalanche, the snow is extremely dense and compacted this is part of the problem looking for survivors. It’s hard to dig, you aren’t doing it with hands, it’s not fluffy snow, it’s ice the moment it stops moving.

It’s a pain in the ass to look for people in an avi, but it’s not typically some life risking scenario for the people on the correct side of the snow.
And the state of Maryland opened their first "mass vaccination site" yesterday ... along with, you guessed it, their very own website for folks to sign up to express their interest in a vaccine.
Have you considered why we do this? How would our society be different if only well-to-do people could eat meat regularly? Would a regular guy be content with wealthy people eating steaks while jet-setting around the globe because of climate change?

I think a populist uprising would occur almost immediately and we’d see heads on pikes with their decapitated mouths stuffed with cabbage for all to see. It would be super easy for a party to take advantage of this and they would.

In short, it would be a miserable time.
I'm referring to marriage as a legal contract, and legal stuff changes slowly. It was certainly founded on religious principles, which is why homosexuals couldn't marry until recently. I'm not advocating for that state of affairs, nor repeating what some partisan said. Were we to green-field re-do marriage today, divorce would be a whole lot easier and possibly more of an expectation.
Great questions!

> Do you have any expertise in the tax system?

None!

> If this can be made in 2 months by one person, why hasn't this already been done before?

Good question! I invented the technology that makes it possible years ago. Then I've tried for like 4 years to get someone else to do it. But then here I am 4 years later, still suffering through TurboTax bugs. I guess just gotta get it going myself.

> How will $50,000 help you?

It's more about finding early adopters. It's not about the money. It's about people that want to see this happen, and are willing to put some skin in the game.

> Your HN profile says that you're an investor - why can't you fund the project yourself?

Money isn't the problem. If we can get a community going, that's step #1. Got the problem. Got the tech. Need to get an early community organized.

For practical purposes the only people who can penetrate a simple vpn service are potentially a government order to start recording your traffic that is legal based on jurisdiction or a dedicated hacker.

It looks to me that NEITHER would be prevented by you using a colocated machine. It's not like your colocation provider is incapable of compromising you and probably would if ordered to do so in a jurisdiction where this act would be legal.

A hacker presumably isn't concerned about whether they are attacking a machine on your desk or in Nebraska.

Over a 5 year time frame your colocated machine would presumably run you between $6600 and $19000 and would have bought you zero additional privacy compared to paying $360 for a vpn in the same jurisdiction.
This seems like an issue that could have been resolved a lot quicker if they were doing network monitoring on the host size and the switch side.

Ideally you would be able to spot a large amount of link errors on a port/switch/host, and fix it before it becomes a problem.
I just think it's just good practice to remain humble, and consider that the people who own a giant tinned cat food packaging line just might know more about tinning cat food than you do, with your degree in maths, and frame the question as 'why do you not optimise to the minimum packing material?' rather than 'you should optimise to the minimum packing material'.

I personally find that approaching problems with an attitude of "Why do you do it like that instead of like this?", or even "have you considered this?", usually provides more insight and a more collaborative discussion than "You should do it like this".
Relax. It’s good news. Women deserve way more respect than they get. This is a welcome change in just one pocket of the world.
> Late-20th-century style "real journalism" seems either to be a historical aberration, or something that is only sustainable in very particular social conditions.

It's neither, and no less ideologically driven than preceding or subsequent journalism.

The image of the late 20th century journalism as unbiased and non-ideological would be aberrant if it was at all true, but it is an illusion brought about by a combination of the narrowness and ideological alignment of the major media of the time combined with their own incredibly successful self-serving propaganda (which was reinforced by many elites outside of the media, who shared their corporate capitalist ideological alignment.)
In today's infotainment environment, the sanctioned judges of misinformation often perpetuate misinformation to stay in business. When multiple sides aside each other of perpetrating misinformation, regulating the market creates a favorable environment for entrenched market leaders, shutting out dissenting voices from the market.

Was it misinformation or disinformation when the CDC told us not to wear masks? They did it because they thought us dying was better than doctors dying. Which does not inspire confidence in anyone who pays attention and doesn't count themselves members of the in group worth saving according to the CDC.
This is disgusting and a terrible state for the status quo to be in. I much prefer an overbearing patriarchal normal over this cancerous middle ground.
Maybe not? It doesn't much matter if you have a lot of offspring, if the offspring don't survive and reproduce. It's an optimization problem of having enough offspring and being able to ensure that they survive to adulthood.

For most of human history, facts were not "predisposed to win." AFAICT, it was the invention of the camera, microphone and development of crime scene evidence that gave us about 100 golden years where facts were harder to fake than verify.

This isn't a gender thing. Just because you don't agree, the GP's comment isn't any less valid. Part of that is culture and malleable, part is just biological facts (being an old parent just sucks). Most Men spend their 20s thinking about finding a wife, too.

There are a few tools for creating diagrams with text, Asciiflow and Monodraw probably being the most popular.

From my experience, you don't want to add anything too complicated or anything that's volatile to code, but in some cases a high level overview of how bits of an application fit together can be handy. These days it might be a better idea to just embed or reference a PlantUML diagram instead.

I no longer have access to it, but I wrote a tool to find these types of problems at my last job. It didn't seem generally applicable enough to try to get it open sourced (and I didn't want to polish it enough for that either).

The key insight is that LACP is almost always configured to use do a hash of { Source IP, Dest IP, Protocol, Source Port, Dest Port } so that packets from each TCP and UDP flow will always be sent on the same individual link. (this is directional though, so it may go from peer A to peer B on cable X and from B to A on cable Y).

So the way to confirm a broken link is to connect a bunch of UDP flows (on different ports) between peer A and peer B, send data, and measure loss (and/or delay!). If you see zero loss / uniform delay, either none of your flows cross the broken link or the problem isn't a broken link or the rate of issues is too low to detect. Once you've found a broken flow, you can use a 'paris traceroute' tool to confirm the IP routers it's between. Paris traceroute holds the UDP source and destination ports fixed, so the route on LACP should say the same. I contributed support for this in mtr, but I'm not sure if it still works; if you see 100% packet loss with mtr in fixed udp port mode, send me an email (address in profile) and I'll ask you for data and try to debug.

Once you narrow down to the two routers the link is between, it should be easy enough to confirm. Usually through link quality counters, if not, through just pulling links and seeing if things get better or worse.

If you have a long network path, and most links are LACP, the total number of possible paths between two peers gets large, and there's a chance that you might not be able to survey them all from a pair of servers; so you may have to try a few different hosts.

You can find packet loss, but also congestion/buffering this way. In an ideal world, all the link error counters would be collected and anomalies would be addressed, but it seems that doesn't always happen.

It's because it's meant as a meat substitute. As far as I'm concerned it's very much conscious, if you want to make the veggie version of, say, a chicken dish you'll buy "veggie chicken" which is meant to have similar characteristics (usually in terms of flavor, appearance and consistence, not necessarily nutritional).

It's hard for me not to dismiss these concerns are pure pearl clutching (or is it concern trolling? I'm not up to date on my internet debate lingo). If people really don't pay attention to the meat products they buy and they end up with veggie meat by mistake, there's a very good chance that they would've very easily ended up with some crappy ultra-processed low quality "technically meat" product instead. They might actually be better off with the plant option, quality-wise.
> TDD is eating your vegetables first.

I like that philosophy.

I spent many years, at an insanely quality-driven company. I wanted to strangle the QA folks on many occasions, but they trained me to not accept crap.

According to a lot of people, that disqualifies me from working at startups.

I'll have to let the folks at the startup I'm working with know that. They'll need to shop around for a slob that will work for free.
Just recently EP considered banning veggie burgers with the reasoning that something called a burger needs to contain dead animal parts.[0]
