I'm excited for this.

It's boring having different Rubocop settings and having people argue over new rules. I have preferences too, but I'd rather get on with my life. I can just write code, and have Standard make it standard and consistent across all projects.

It would be nicer if Ruby did this itself (Crystal does, and that's fantastic) but this is the next best thing. Having one attempted standard is better than no standards at all.

(My only quibble is the name makes it sound related to the Standard JS project when it doesn't).
Exactly.

Next time, say there is a dead body and you heard gun fire. In the UK you'd get every cop for miles and the TV news.
Dumping treasuries is figurative. The real action for China is to stop running a trade surplus and start importing and consuming more physical goods. This is widely claimed as a really desirable situation. It will be interesting to see if that is actually the case when it happens. I have a feeling that it will be something more akin to the proverbial 叶公好龙.
As a solution to this particular problem, not banking overall. And we're not talking about central banks, but normal banks. The competition is still there.

Tell me, why shops are not allowed to discriminate on the basis of race? Why not just have competition deal with that?
At least in the Bay the police can't even stay in the confines of the laws they're sworn to uphold (stop signs, speed limits, not drunkenly swerving into the bike lane I'm inhabiting, ...). What reason do we have to believe they'd handle an unfamiliar problem domain with any better proficiency?
Locating contact info for websites is not something that can be automated. Some sites provide an email address, some a form, some point people at twitter or facebook and some don't provide any contact information at all. None of this is arranged in any sort of standard way. Contact info may be under a link marked "contact" or "about" or "bio" or appear at the bottom of every page.
Kinda interesting to think about how this fits in the market. Is some warehouse/manufacturing consultant using this or is it supposed to be for a small manufacturer to DIY their way to building the machines they need?

Agreed. I think I restart my IDE roughly as often as I reboot my computer which means I've had IDEA and CLion running for about 22 days right now.
The classics are a set of texts we've agreed on as being the classics. Their status is often deeply entrenched, probably rightly so. Beyond the undeniable beauty and the reflections on the human condition throughout the ages, it's a common societal anchor. Think of how many people know what 'My white whale means' but have never read Melville. Having read it, you can actually understand the reference. Though as I type this, I think I've only shot my argument in the foot and made the case for reading the cliff notes....

The police go and arrest them. This is true even for other jurisdictions. It's not as if there are no police in France or Australia.

What you're left with is things hosted out of uncooperative countries like Russia or China. But then shouldn't the block list consist entirely of things hosted out of uncooperative countries like Russia or China? How did this US-hosted business fall victim?
Nice, yours definitely nails the authentic look!
I used to be an Eclipse zealot. I clung to it even as my co-workers moved to IntelliJ. When I finally made the jump, I found it a huge boost to productivity and stability. I needed for a while on one project to run Eclipse to be able to use an IBM plugin for their rules engine and it was painful how much slower and crash-prone Eclipse was.

I remember seeing dealers selling crack in plain sight on 9th and mission every day. Cops would drive by and the dealers wouldn’t even try to hide. It really seemed like there was some sort of arrangement going on there. But what would I know.

On a side note, those dealers had pretty long hours, they’d be there from before 7am some times (and people buying too). It was also sad to see that most of their customers seemed to be residents of the nearby affordable housing buildings.
> Yeah it's a neat idea but I struggle to think of good use-cases [...] If I'm working on a service [...]

I suspect that's simply not the use-case they're targeting. You're thinking of a database as simply the persistence component for your service, a means to an end. For you, the service/app/software is the thing you're trying to deliver. Where this looks useful is the cases where the data itself is the thing you're trying to deliver.

For something so 'easily proven', I would point out that the Twitter thing was never 'proven', and their own testing beforehand found zero bias (as opposed to a bunch of motivated Twitter users posting samples until they got their confirmation bias's worth). I take it you didn't actually read Twitter's post on this. Your second example is, if anything, even worse (read the entire article). And these are your two chosen examples, so undeniable as to shut down all dissent and doubt?
Yes, I am convinced that the US doesn't like the fact that it can generate wealth without any real assets backing it. Earlier, kings had to raise taxes to go to war. There were repercussions of war. Now, the US can do multi decade long wars, with 0 consequences on it economy. I'm sure they don't like that too.. I'm as convinced as listening to some celibity on oprah saying all they want is to be a regular person and they don't like fame..

What do you think they're going to say? We love that we can print as much funny money as we want and we're proud it's our top export to the world?

I am sure they also think it is a huge burden that the whole world money routing is done through american systems. That is too much of a burden to implement and enforce sanctions. They probably want to 'get rid' of that too..

My understanding is that no one provided incentives to cold harden production or keep surplus capacity on standby. p999 events like that are where markets fail because it's rare for utilities or consumers to have that time horizon, and "we're only sending power during a cold spell to customers already on the premium plan" isn't politically viable.

Yep, for sure. Fastmail still uses a once-every-10-minutes frequency for the full end-to-end "can log into the website, compose an email, receive the email, trigger an automated background fetch, receive that email too" tests, though the "can connect to service" tests run much more often.
I read a lot of Graham Greene and Isaac Asimov for free in high school. Loads of other books too. There are big buildings in my community full of books and they let me pick them off the shelves and take them home and read them as long as I promised to bring them back in a few weeks. They even had a big room with the same policies at my high school and even my elementary school.

I still don’t understand what the problem is here.” With Google doing this.

We don’t know that this whole thing is not invented by the author or that they were indeed not doing anything malicious.

All of this, as credible as it may seem, could just be invented bad PR against Google, which if true should make us take a hard look at whomever is behind this.

Seriously, read the Lessons Learned again and tell me for certain this really happened. How in the world would it look so staged, with the bold words and thought-out structure. I’m not going to jump on the bandwagon everytime someone makes claims.
Thank you. It was a stream of consciousness without any purpose but it meant a lot to me today that you felt there was something interesting in it.

In the last year I switched away from a leadership role to being an IC at a different company.

I originally thought I wanted the leadership role to feel more control over the direction of my work. But you get into leadership and you realize leadership also doesn’t have control, they’re just trying to respond to the events as they’re unfolding. Worse: you’ve moved away from your craft.

Now that I’m back to being an IC again, I feel the impact of decisions up the leadership chain. These changes affect me, but I don’t get to participate in making them. So that can feel frustrating, and I can see wanting to influence those decisions as tempting reasons for peers to seek those kinds of promotions, possibly making the mistake I once did.

That tough balance between wanting to execute the craft, but also wanting to participate in larger strategic decision that could impact the craft, seem to be behind a lot of promotion seeking from folks I know.

I think I saw his video on a different type of engine that was basically a poor-man's jet engine (I can't remember the name). It was equally impressive, but I didn't appreciate the shtick once parts started melting.
A big problem with hermetic seals is that if they aren't truly hermetic, water gets in and fogs up the lenses on the inside. If there's a hole that can be opened in the case, you at least have a decent chance of being able to dry out the insides (possibly with extra heat).
Yeah, my experience has been that you start seeing issues with long delta decompression times around the 1-2gb mark. That climbs quicker of you have binary formats that push the delta compression algorithm into cases where it does poorly(which makes sense since it was optimized for source code).

If you have binary assets and they don't support merging or regeneration from source artifacts that mandates locking(ideally built into SCM but I've seen wiki pages in a pinch at small scale).
This sounds like an amazing idea. Thanks for the tip!

> As a solution to this particular problem, not banking overall.

Competition would work as a solution to this particular problem and overall.

> And we're not talking about central banks, but normal banks. The competition is still there.

Banks have notoriously high switching costs and barriers to entry. What competition would look like is a regulatory environment that enabled switching banks to be as easy as switching wireless providers after number portability.

> Tell me, why shops are not allowed to discriminate on the basis of race? Why not just have competition deal with that?

Originally, because white customers would refuse to patronize shops that served black customers, effectively acting as a monopsony (lack of competition) and the law was needed to restore competition.

Today, mostly for historical reasons. Do you honestly think that a black person right now would have trouble finding a restaurant to eat in even if there was no law forcing all restaurants to serve them?

There was a great book called Gang Leader for a Day, about a UChicago sociologist that spends time inside a Southside drug crew. His research showed that the average low-level street dealer made less than minimum wage. Almost all the profit accrued to the guys high up in the supply chain or gang hierarchy.
So many times I see people comment about what he could do if this, if that, or they'll say "yeah but it only worked for a few seconds at best." To this I say: Show me the turbojet you built at all using the tools he used.

My own hobby is more fun when I build things or repair things not with unlimited resources, but with intentionally limited resources. Everybody knows that if you have enough money you can buy your way into many hobbies, but this fellow, eccentric as he is, figured out a way to use what he *already has* to build something that would be otherwise impossible with the resources given.

because all our physics at the macro-scale have local causality.

Also, this is just me but how does the speed of light constrain the speed of motion if quantum physics are non-local? There's no such thing as a speed limit if you can teleport information.
The consensus on there not being an increase in the crime rate is that police are no longer responding to crimes...so there is no increase in the statistics of criminality...

I find that ffmpeg's regular command lines are easier to mentally parse if I include additional \ to separate things out onto their own lines. That's what I've done in several shell scripts that do complicated things with ffmpeg, along with comment lines and echoing commentary on what it's doing to the terminal.
Strongly disagree that it's no differnet. Oil and telco doesn't have network effects. It doesn't matter if your friend fuels his car with Citgo or BP.
Why are negative comments bad? I wouldn’t mind at all. Rudeness is not acceptable but people poking holes at your project is a good thing.
People poked holes at Dropbox back in the day. Just take negative comments, grow a thick skin and move on.
Please don’t hesitate one iota, would love to see your work.

The thing is, HN is a pretty safe place to test and get early feedback. Are the comments tell you it sucks? Hey, they cared enough to say it sucks, so incorporate their feedback and try again.

Most people who are negative here have high expectations or are clueless. Ignore if they are the latter kind!
The correct number is somewhere between yours. I remember encountering the number 3,000 for serious readers at some point when I was in my twenties and being rather depressed at how low it is. Goodreads is my sole social network these days and it's interesting to see the range of numbers that my friends pick for their challenge goal each year from as low as single digits to one friend who routinely reads 200+ books a year. Since I've started tracking my reading about 26 years ago (probably around the time that I encountered that 3,000 books number), I've read 1,840 books (with my annual totals varying from a low of 27 to a high of 129). Probably the most important thing towards this was something my Latin professor told us, saying that if you read just ten pages just for yourself each night before you go to bed, that becomes 3,650 pages over the course of the year which is nearly the entirety of À la recherche du temps perdu. It also helps that I've done things like commute by public transportation (extra reading time) and I value reading as a means of entertainment.

The thing is, as San Franciscans, we really support all the oppressed transgender teenagers in Mississippi. What's that?

> I genuinely have no clue where the high taxes go.

I worked on a public project. The funds were misappropriated in my opinion. Your tax dollars are wasted like in every other state. Therefore: lower taxes.
This is something I'm interested in as well (also being interested in Zen and systems theory).

There's an interpretation of QM called hidden variables theory that essentially states that the probabilistic nature of quantum behaviour is due to QM being emergent behaviour from lower variables that we haven't discerned. It isn't in vogue, but it fits a systems perspective perfectly. Through this lens QM is a dynamical system, though perhaps not chaotic (I'm still not sure as to the boundary between dynamical and chaotic behaviour given both imply complex nonlinear causality).

But then, a big issue with QM is that it's unintuitive, so that's probably confirmation bias on my part.
right there with you
NIMBYism isn't congruent with liberalism. Liberalism is an anti-authoritarian, market philosophy. NIMBYism is about leveraging authoritarian policy to dictate what others can do. If housing in SF were left to market forces, there would be a completely set of different problems...but NIMBYism wouldn't be one of them.
