What are corporate values? The only thing you are legitimately saying to your employer is you pay me and I do the work and we both make money. That is all. Anything more than that infringes on your personal rights outside of your employment, as these comments are my own. The fact that we have the reach of corporations way outside of work in public life is not right in my opinion, it's akin to slavery. This corporation employs people with these sorts of thoughts??? That does not really register in my mind as any sort of sound reasoning for dismissal, for having the wrong thoughts and saying them in public.
Maybe people are getting spoiled product? I regularly use Beyond and Impossible and usually don’t notice any off smell. Once I got a pack of Impossible from the refrigerated section that did smell wrong.
Really? There's a body of evidence that a meat-containing diet is protective against heart disease, type-2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and cancer, versus a plant-based diet?

I'd genuinely be very interested for those sources to be shared, please...

I just started like 6 months ago but...

- `lazygit` is extremely valuable.

- `lnav` for inspecting log files has turned out to be surprisingly good.

- Do you use `fzf` in tandem with your shell so you can also search your command history (and not just look for files)? I use that for like a year now and can't live without it.

- `mc` for TUI file management has been moderately alright.

- How about `ripgrep`? Can't believe I lived without that one too.

- Rust's tool `skim` (the command is `sk`) in tandem with `ripgrep` or `the_silver_searcher` to very quickly search in file contents in big directories has saved me a ton of time already (although I moved to search file contents in projects in Emacs since). To be fair, you can just use `fzf` instead of `sk` here though; I am just positively biased towards Rust.

- `ripgrep_all` allows you to search in ZIP archives, PDF docs, Office docs/spreadsheets etc. Really useful.

- `ht` is a Rust rewrite of `httpie`, the Python friendlier `curl`. I like `ht` much more because it doesn't incur any startup overhead and started replacing my scraping / syncing scripts with `ht` where applicable which is NOT everywhere because `curl` is extremely powerful and it doesn't often make sense to replace it.

- Command-line or in-terminal charting/plotting: `jp`. I have made a CSV file out of all file sizes on my NAS (bucketed by powers of 2) and then invoked it on the input. Here's a sample CSV from a random directory:

0k,79

1k,6

2k,1

4k,166

8k,34

16k,7

32k,6

64k,3

128k,27

256k,2

512k,2

1M,3

2M,4

4M,8

8M,10

16M,135

Then do this:

`cat THIS_FILE.csv | jp -input csv -xy '[*][0,1]' -type bar -height 57`

And enjoy an in-terminal vertical bar charts. :)

- ...And I have a ton more.

But your question makes me sigh. I really have to start a blog. I am a very practical guy and people usually love my posts (scattered on different forums) where I make such lists. I should roll my own blog static web site generator in Rust I suppose, because the existing ones are either slow or don't support what I need... So, not going to happen in the next year, most likely. :(
Yeah, totally. But you have very different risk profile in terms of likelihood of you being kicked out - your expenses are much more predictable than with renting. Capitalism approach heavily prefers owning vs renting.
I'm not the slightest bit unnerved by your comment. But if you feel like answering the original question I posed then I'm all ears.

Even if I indulge your fantasy for a moment - Linux (amongst other systems) has provided myself and many others with a solid career for the better part of the last 25 years, daily security patches from vendors and all, and I don't see any solid evidence of that changing before I retire.

Further I suggest most Linux people would be able to adapt if the world were to move on to an improved competitor with enough momentum to be adopted en masse - which hasn't happened.
I think the thing that's been under-sold in Ada is the way you can get so much at compile time as properties of things, like, you can say "this type counts between 1 and 30" and then later refer to "the largest value of this type" as a loop bound, say, in a way that won't break if you later set the maximum to 40. And hides the fact it's implemented as an unboxed primitive integer.
I wish I could tell you it would eat a bunch of your time, engaging your curiosity and sense of wonder all the way, but really what's going to happen is you're going to install `flyctl`, go somewhere with a Dockerfile, do `flyctl app create` and then `flyctl app deploy` and it's going to just work. :)
I thought you made a good point, actually.

I believe its common to just give up a fight like this because it's really never over, and no single step leads directly to perfection. Why recycle when some recycling still ends up in a landfill in India ? Why help a homeless person when there still will be homeless tomorrow?

OTOH, most of us are still getting up every morning and go to work.
I'm shocked that people seriously believe that the fundamentals of nutritional science are a virtual mystery or has enough "wiggle room" to make ridiculously broad claims about diet necessities. We know almost exact micrograms of iodine we need per day to be healthy. We have a pretty great idea of what the body needs to function optimally and are getting a clearer picture every day.

Is this why GMOs became such a pariah?
Yes I believe he is a web developer or something :)

Today we are not choosing between raising meat animals and restoring land to its pre-industrialization state. So the original GHG emission rate of ancient animals is not important to our decision. We are choosing between raising meat animals and raising crops. Therefore the GHG emissions rate of modern meat animals is important.
I've consumed a lot of Beyond and Impossible, and it's good! But still a far way from unrecognizable.

In fact, one thing they have made me appreciate is how good some of the "traditional" meat substitutes are. I actually quite like Boca and Garden Burgers et al!

Still, the once or twice a year I go to a steakhouse and get a nice medium rare steak - we're a long, long way off from that.
A counterexample is Vienna, which utilizes a well balanced system of rent-control and social housing to have incredibly low rents and still a stable supply of flats. One tweak they apply is that rent-control does not apply to new developments, so creating new flats is more lucrative than turning old buildings into luxury developments. The city also acts as a competitor, driving prices down by offering cheap flats. There are definitively problems with rent-control if applied bluntly, but the it's a tool that can be useful.

> The market wants to supply more housing. We don't let it, based on laws that originally were created to keep black people out of neighborhoods. Those laws continue to be very effective at that goal.

Why does this continue to be such a problem in deep blue areas?
Yes it did. It has been going on for ~50 years, and bitcoin is the culmination of work spanning that period.

Bitcoin was not the first cryptocurrency. It was the first good one, though.
> [ $USER != "root" ] && echo You must be root && exit 1

I get that the authors point was more focused on the conditional usage, but this seems like a pretty bad way to check if the user is root and isn’t really any more complicated than checking EUID = 0 or some of the other methods.

> WWII rationing in the US mostly worked from what I understand

It suffered from all the faults I mentioned. The black market in gas was extensive, and even included drive by shootings. In public, people proudly supported rationing, in private, they sold their extra gas to people who needed it at black market prices. Yes, the government did try in their blundering manner to give different rations based on need, but it inevitably grossly mismatched supply with demand.

I've talked to people who lived through it, and there was certainly two economies going on - the ration one, and the black market one. For example, one lived on a farm that wasn't doing much, but got a big gas allocation because "farm". They made a mint selling it under the table.

> You can figure out rules.

Yeah, like the byzantine vaccine rules, along with the confusion and fights over it. Politicians moved themselves to the front of the line, naturally. Just like in WW2, politicians got all the gas they wanted.
I manage a fairly small ES cluster of 20 i3en.2xlarge instances that ingest data from 300+ apps. Yes, the only problem I see is the field type collision and it happens occasionally.

Otherwise elastic doesn't require much operational time, may be an hour a week.

You pretty much want to keep your indices around 50gb and the ILM works well to manage that.
The Federal government pays interest on T-bills with tax revenue. I don't understand why people give me resistance on this. The higher the debt is, the higher the interest payments are.

Taken to its logical extreme, why bother collecting taxes at all? Just pay for all government spending with this magic money machine.
The fact that cars burn gas is one of the least harmful parts of them. Electric cars are just as bad as any other car.

The real harm of cars is in how they forced cities to spread out, putting miles of asphalty moonscape between every destination, forcing people to spend thousands of dollars a year on vehicles that they shouldn't need, driving greenfill development that doesn't raise enough revenue to support itself, forcing cities to develop ever more automobile suburbs for the immediate revenue to fulfil their maintenance obligations on the old ones, going into massive debt to keep up appearances on what is effectively a ponzi scheme, not to mention the human cost of traffic violence.

Decentralization is not an advantage for currency and contracts. The problems that decentralization "solves" were never problems in the first place.

Nobody was asking for a new way to store their money that doesn't have any identity verification besides a single digital key, which doesn't have the ability to dispute or undo transactions, and which takes multiple minutes to clear transactions.

To quote Kai Stinchcombe

> There is no single person in existence who had a problem they wanted to solve, discovered that an available blockchain solution was the best way to solve that problem, and therefore became a blockchain enthusiast. ...

> Nobody went out and did a survey about whether most credit card users would be willing to give up their frequent flyer miles in return for also losing the ability to dispute a transaction.
There are studies e.g. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/sacn-iron-and-hea...

The vast majority of beef cattle in the UK are fed grass from pasture most of the year, then hay/silage over winter when there isn't much grass. The conclusion was the same; red meat isn't great for you, at least in significant quantities (90g+ a day).

They cannot. If they do and remove the old getelementbyname, etc, then it will be breaking change.

If they just add $ notation, then there will be redundancy / inconsistency with existing api. Furthermore it will break / confuse apps which use jquery.

Then it's far easier to just include minified jquery into your apps when you want to use it, and you have more control about it's version, etc.
You can buy ethically sourced/farmed meat (albeit at a premium), and farmed fish in particular is quite sustainable.

I would dispute that there are "a dozen" reasons we should not be eating meat. There are perhaps a few practical reasons we should not be eating low-quality mass-market meat (health, environment, animal cruelty), and a few moral reasons we should not eat unethically raised meat. And even those reasons are debatable (what if someone in a 3rd world country can only afford unethically raised meat? etc)

Around 1994/5 I wanted to move to Berkeley. I had a very hard time finding a place. I looked at so many attics turned into bedrooms and other crappy places. Eventually, I found an ideal (relatively) place and there was a good 50+ people looking at the same apartment during a showing...

I walked up to the landlord (who was a lawyer in his day job) and said... "I know you can't pick favorites, but I have a good salary and I'm not a student." ... he ended up making his top picks write an essay on why we wanted the apartment. I got the place and stayed there for 10 years.

Interestingly, during the last few years I was there, rent control ended and the landlord really wanted me out because he knew that he could make 2-3x more. He turned into a slumlord and refused to make any improvements and the ones he made were all half assed. The storage locker in the carport under the building got broken into as well.

Eventually, I left for SF and sublet the place to some friends illegally because they needed an inexpensive place. He eventually found out about that and I had to let the place go.

I guess my point is that I've seen first hand rent control and no rent control go through both phases. I really don't think there is a good solution. Someone always gets the short end of the stick.
This is great stuff, Jeff. I sponsored athens for a while—stopped after you got funded by YC—but I'm still glad things are going well.

Now that there are a couple of apps that are doing this kind of thing, I think it might be time to start looking at whether bi-directional links could be a W3 standard in some way (i.e. a standard bidirectional link metadata endpoint). It'd be awesome to bi-directionally link across from athens/roam to github to matrix.

Perhaps the concepts need a few more years to bubble and mix a little, but start thinking about how this could work.
Well if homes are not built by homesteaders then they will be built by for profit companies that are funded by investors.

If your goal is to have more of something then you tax it less and impose fewer costs on it. If your goal is to create less of something, then you tax it more and impose more costs on it. People understand this with cigarette taxes and carbon taxes but suddenly when it comes to apartments the signs are reversed? No, getting the sign right is important. If you want more homes, then reduce the costs of building homes -- or in your parlance, make it "more interesting" for investors.
At Work, we‘re building web applications that need to be accessed by hundreds of editors with thousands of pages. Most of them share an essential bundle of components. Are you telling me a project that complicated can be built using just jquery?

American and European urbanites need to become comfortable with Chinese and Japanese style mega cities or their urban areas will always be unaffordable. Chinese and Japanese cities are affordable for everyone because they build! They build as much as they need to in order to fit everyone into the city. We don't do that here so cities are for rich people.
Hi

I'm of the guy who did the 2 presentations of Clickhouse at ContentSquare.
There are no blog posts on the migration from ES to CH.

There is also a video recording of the 2019 presentation available here.

Making something in a factory is skill and there are scale factors. You can buy a lawn mower from dozens of different companies, but the vast majority are made in one factory. If you want to sell lawnmowers you just need to order some quantity (I'm guessing 1000) and they will paint their standard mower with your colors and got to word and substitute your name in the manual. Easy enough for them to do and they don't need to worry about marketing at all.

Nearly all store brands are the same way. A lot of other brand name products are also the same. That iPhone case factory will probably make any patter you want.

Don't assume though that store bands are the same quality. There are some choices. They can use thicker metal in lawn mowers for quality. They can use source plastics of different qualities for the iphone cases. However the price isn't that much different and so sometimes the expensive products are the lowest quality.
Intel has been getting destroyed over the past few years.

Should we expect a massive government subsidized Intel Fab on US Soil this year?

Seems like it's a major priority for the US Military Industrial Complex, and they usually get their way.

Who else is in the running for that? TSMC?
Most serious weightlifters in my experience supplement their diet with protein shakes or similar, many vegan formulations exist. It's not super tasty, but I wouldn't call it "highly impractical".

Beyond that in my experience "lifter diet" is not exactly gourmet stuff, unless you really, really like chicken breasts.
put it on a charcoal grill and cook a hamburger. It's definitely not beef but the taste is ok for what it is. I think of it like a veggie compromise, not a perfect burger but not terrible either.
Aside from the questionable source laid out here, the statement that:

> Meat provides far more nutritional value than any plant...

...is pure nonsense. Vitamins, minerals, fiber. Considering you can't get any fiber from meat is just the start of how biased some have been influenced by misinformation.
Maybe I'm a curmudgeon, but I have subzero interest in smartwatches, even hackable or open source models. I want my watch to tell me the time, and I want it to do so 10, 20, and 30 years from now without having to fiddle with software.

I love Linux. I cut my teeth on it in high school after one too many viruses on Windows XP made me bite the bullet and try debian. I love my Raspberry Pi. It went from retro-gaming console to brief dev environment to Pi-hole server. There are tons of other hacked up solutions in my home.

But sometimes I just want a tool that does one thing, essentially unsupervised, essentially forever.

Apple Watch, Android Wear, Pebble, and now Watchy... All these devices will be e-waste in 30 years (most in less than 10). My Seiko automatic will still be ticking (and, as I wear it almost every day, I only wind it once or twice a year).
>JS the language isn't great but it's JS the culture that is the real problem.

I'm happy you bring this up. Us developers have a tendency to blame bad code on poor tooling/languages or on individual developers or organizations. Not enough attention is given to cultural factors within various ecosystems that systemically induce bad coding practices.
> They already had an incentive to increase it at the max, because it's more money in their pocket.

They'll set it based on supply & demand. But caps increase the business risk to the landlord, and therefore increases the price as risk always translates to an increased price.
You can easily make rpowerscoin. But it won’t be bitcoin. And its existence will have negligible impact on bitcoin.

There have been 100,000 clones of bitcoin (according to someone who claimed to have counted)but none are genuinely successful. Even forks if bitcoin fail despite spending millions on propaganda.

Think there might be a reason?
thanks for the comment. I totally agree. sadly, we are stuck with it...
>I love Ada, unfortunately it’s real world use seems to be relegated to old legacy code. I’d like to use it a little more on the side, but I also need to keep my priorities focused on realism, which sadly means ignoring Ada and learning something like C++ which seems unapproachable from any angle.

Oh, my github must be ancient then!

> Ada also seems to have a weirdly negative rep in many circles it seems. I recall looking around for an Ada compiler for a moderately popular platform and came across and old thread where people didn’t give any options but instead just joking about how the OP was interested in such a terrible language. Maybe it’s the Pascal/Algol type syntax?

That stems from the hatred from the people working at the DoD at the time who'd never even seen the language.
Is what you say still true if you also want to support IE4, 5, 6, 7, etc? You'd want functionality for all the browsers, and strong privacy for the latest versions of browsers.

I assume if you're supporting ie3 you also want to support every newer version.
Native rdp (server and client) has gotten pretty good in Linux of late, too.
