I assume you work for an organization (whether it's a company, or informal group). I also assume this group is more effective due to the fact that it's organized vs. all of you attempting the same things alone.

With that said, I'm not really sure I understand your position. Could you elaborate? I especially don't understand the "add more than one and limitations begin." That can definitely be true, but is not inherently so.
I think you mean cdvs, the e is clearly overkill, takes up more bytes on disk, increases compile times and eats up valuable screen real estate! The last one is especially bad, because it will make the code that uses it harder to read.
I sometimes wonder if our current powers that be are comfortable with letting COVID ever go away. So far its been a wonderful justification to spend a lot of money and usurp a lot of powers not formerly accessible.

I can almost see the politicians getting sweaty when faced with the prospect that COVID may soon no longer be an issue. No COVID means no emergency. No emergency means no need for drastic emergency actions. No more necessity for drastic actions means no more stimulus money and actual scrutiny of decisions being made. This business of "DON'T YOU SEE WE'RE AT WAR HERE? DON'T QUESTION ME!!" is personally very tiring already.

COVID gave our leadership an emergency and a blank check to address it. They're not going to let go of that willingly. Left to their own devices they will have us all wearing 2 masks forever and continually living in fear such that we allow them to do as they please "for our own good - science and stuff".

As spring begins to warm up where I'm living, I can see the public becoming unwilling to tolerate the local mask ordinance ( not backed by the state here ) about mid April. The high rise I live in mandates masks on penalty of a $300 fine and last night in the common gym area I saw not less than 7 people working out mask free. Its a topic of conversation in the elevators as well.

I see signs that the public tolerance for this business is running out. We did what we had to when we needed to and the need for such measures is demonstrably coming to an end. Now we're going to have to fight to return to normal.
Sure but people don't agree about things so you necessarily have to kill, banish, or jail the people outside the consesnus.
Sorry, my bad. "Out of hand" was supposed to go with "dismiss". "We dismiss without analyzing it because it's un-respectful."

As for the second part, I will reuse an answer I've given before: I am tired of the lying, and I do consider politeness to be lying. "Yes, your children are smart and beautiful" and "that dress doesn't make you fat" (your fat does) can only be repeated so many times.

A lot of people disagree with me :)
My partner complains about this constantly when it comes to womens jeans.

I can't even comprehend buying a pair of pants that didn't have usable pockets. Up there with high heels in terms of form over function.
I avoid it because of complete lack of commit amendment tools.

It seems like quarter of the time I make a commit I mess up either a commit message or a file list, and have to "git amend". I have no idea how the sqlite devs live without the feature, they must be much more careful programmers than I am.
somebody autistic shouldn't be in a leadership position managing people. that's not what they're good at. it's like putting somebody with dementia in a chess-tournament and then complaining that "the game is rigged".
> individual has rights and value, irrespective of their group identity

Individuals should have rights/value irrespective of group identity.

However, individual rights don't exist without a group in general. If you are the only living human, the concept of rights is meaningless to you in general.

I live in the US, so my rights are (supposed to be) protected by the state, in case anyone wants to take them from me.

If my neighbor decides I don't have the right to live anymore and murders me, then I lost my right to live. I only have the rights that everyone around me agrees to let me keep.

> It's dismaying that there is a huge segment of academia that wants to revert to this more 'natural' state.

The opposite is true. Academia is where we get much of the evidence that socially-constructed groups (based on religion, gender, race, etc.) are not biological and should not be the basis for granting value and rights.

I've always found calculator applications to be quite funny. To use a calculator application while sitting at a computer is at least a bit ironic.
I think any kind of arbitrary bans on exports are unjustified really.

Not entirely familiar with how the US is handling the vaccine - are they banning exports of the vaccine which were funded by or purchased by foreign countries? Or are they just saying they're not allowed to make any new deals?
I also think the amount of hate Rand gets is interesting. I'd also be curious to to how many of those that hate her have actually read The Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged? The books are long and unreasonably wordy.

But the hate is mostly for the ideas, not the writing. The worlds are certainly fictional. Things are not as black and white as she paints them. The heroes are small minority of supremely talented, hard-working people battling bureaucracy and incompetence. Rand assumes everyone is born on a level playing field and the choices people may determine where they land.

My advice is that anyone Atlas Shrugged is a must read for anyone with an ounce of entrepreneurial spirit. Take it with a grain of salt though.
Why do you have to kill or banish people who you disagree with? I don't understand your line of reasoning at all. At this moment the two of us apparently do not completely agree - must one of us be killed or banished? Obviously not.
>Is it though? As an example motor vehicle fatalities went up sharply in 2020. Is this due to the pandemic?

>If anything the pandemic should have decreased car accidents, because miles driven went down. It seems there’s possibly an orthogonal force at work. Possibly the rising market share of monster pickup trucks, which are particularly deadly to pedestrians.

>If anything the pandemic should have decreased car accidents, because miles driven went down. It seems there’s possibly an orthogonal force at work. Possibly the rising market share of monster pickup trucks, which are particularly deadly to pedestrians.

Nice theory but I think it's far more likely that the pandemic completely upended "regular traffic" everywhere causing millions of people to be driving/walking at days/times/places and in traffic conditions that they were not accustomed to and this was a fairly instant change so pretty much everyone was flying by the seat of their pants. Predictable traffic is safe traffic and the pandemic changed normal traffic patterns in pretty much the entire western world creating tons more opportunities for mismatched expectations of behavior between traffic participants.

Show HN: I built a VS Code Theme Creator – easily make VS Code themes in browser
Hi HN,

I built the VS Code Theme Studio after realizing how hard and annoying it is to create a theme the standard way.
You have to tweak tons of hex color codes in a huge JSON file... yuck.
Most of the time you don't even know which settings to edit, or how they actually affect the UI.
I wanted to build a much more intuitive and user-friendly way of designing VS Code themes, so that anyone could design a beautiful, polished theme in under an hour (instead of a week).
In a future iteration, I want to make the theme studio even handle the process of publishing your theme to the VS Code marketplace for you.
This way, all you'll have to do is design the theme, and click a single button... "Publish".
I had a lot of fun building this and I look forward to seeing the themes you create :)

(Built with my favorites: Vue.js + Nuxt.js + Firebase)
It's a very American thing to marginalize the unfit, and the different.
Do you have plans for non US regions? (Or do you have in US regions that are not currently obvious?)
I used it for quite some time, still have archived repos on it because they’re a single file and very easy to move around.

Mostly moved to gitea on a home NAS for the GitHub sync capability (makes it easy to have a local copy of dependencies, etc.)

But I do miss the straightforwardness (and sometimes bluntness) of fossil sometimes. Much easier to deal with for personal projects.
U.S. regulator opens inquiry into Wall Street's blank check IPO frenzy
And meanwhile, 6 years later an app can be submitted to the play store that ignores that and just blanket asks for permissions and refuses to run without them.
See my comment over at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26579872
If that was how it was meant to be understood, it could have easily been written explicitly by making it a recursive clause. E.g. in the case of my country, article 4 of the constitution says that the first 3 articles cannot be changed; it could have said first 4 articles cannot be changed, thereby making it a legal impasse.

More likely, the authors of entrenched clauses understood that, if it came to that, making that change illegal wouldn't prevent a slip to dictatorship. That impasse would only hinder the honest actors, if in the future there came a time when those entrenched clauses really legitimately need to be changed; and hence that door was deliberately left open.

Sure, if it came to that, judges may still rule your way to slow down the slide the dictatorship, but then the next constitutional amendment would be "all judges are retired, here's how new judges are selected". Or some other legal maneuver. Even the strongest clauses could be circumvented if they have enough support or power, let alone feeble interpretations of implicit clauses.
> DJs tour all day every day

And that's a very DJ-centric way of looking at. A DJ might be able to have an itinerary like Dublin -> Frankfurt -> Birmingham -> Prague but when it comes to a band and all their equipment, they generally would look for a route that minimises travel-time and cost.
Is there a technical reason that cloud stores charge egress fees, or is it just purely "we want to disincentivize people from using competitors"?
> all my remaining orders on Amazon are delayed by months and it is impossible to get any info except what the original projected delivery date was

It sounds like you're ordering items with long delivery times that indicate they're shipping direct from China, is that correct? I exclude any non-Prime items and haven't had any shipping issues in the past year aside from a day delay here or there.
> I can't wrap my head around the fact that electrical signals are priced higher than equivalent HDDs.

I think this is standard with cloud storage. Check out this comparison [1], showing 2-6x higher costs for downloads versus monthly storage in B2, AWS, GCP, and Azure.

Historically, women used to have the best pockets: detachable pockets you could reach through gowns and dresses [0].

You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
It’s all true, and seems to hinge on an outdated idea that women are more concerned about the line of their clothing than any practicality at all.

Pretty crappy really.
Having just the notary there relies on trusting the notary to be an impartial party, with just one witness in addition to the two parties there's only one point of verification meaning only one person you have to corrupt to be able to lie about what happened. Bringing in more people increases the size of the conspiracy required to lie about the transaction.
The difference is that it's very obvious in our current tests when the database is being reset. And to be clear it's not like we're testing the entire app in a single test function - our test functions just tend to cover more than one feature.

We've also found over the years that if you want to be sure everything works on version X of database system Y, you run your CI tests on that.
I wonder why one brand of clothing doesn't just start making women's pants with deep pockets, and put "deep pockets!" on the tag. Seems like a huge profit opportunity.

By the way, the data visualization in the article is great.
"surprising depth in ... ancient code" seems extraordinarily condescending to the past, upon which computer science has evolved little.
So Apple's rebuttal to the App Store monopoly claims is to suggest that because users can access content via web browser, the App Store can't possibly be a monopoly? And yet how many users consume content using their phone's browser as opposed to an app? How many websites purposely degrade their mobile browsing experience (cough cough Reddit) in order to forcibly encourage their users onto the app?

The point isn't that there are many ways to consume content. It's that the power of a mobile device and operating system lie in its app ecosystem, and on Apple there is still only one (legal) way to get apps, so their argument is rather DoA.
Researchers say they've made smart clothes that feel like fabric
Honestly, because it is crazy easy to read sinograms. I only lived in Japan for a few months and casually studied the language, but I wasn't with any other foreigners so I was 100% immersed in the language. At the end of the few months I reached the point where I could read Japanese faster than I can read English. It's as if reading a phonetic language still has to go through a process of symbol -> sound -> picture -> meaning in our brains, where a more ideographic language goes symbol -> meaning directly thus cutting out a lot of the processing time. Given that any given text is going to be read thousands of times more than it is written, the extra complexity in writing seems well worth the trade-off.
>There don't seem to be any circumstances in which "Individualism" is superior to "Cooperation" or "Collectivism" (and that in of itself I believe is a false dichotomy to begin with as there are situations in which individualism is necessary to maintain overall collectivism) unless you ignore the fact that the individual is benefiting from past "Collectivist" actions.

It depends what you mean by Individualism. I think a good and often used definition of individualism is that individuals have inherent value and inherent rights. This notion seems like a deeply valuable part of modern ethics and has made our society stronger. Individualism is the basis for concepts like human rights.

At least from my perspective so much of the battle between the conservatives and the progressives is that the conservatives take a traditionalist view that individuals must subsume their will and happiness to the expectations of society; Often the traditional expectations of society. Whereas progressives and the left argue that individuals have an inherent right to live their lives the way they want assuming they aren't hurting anyone else. For instance gay rights is fundamentally built on individualist values, traditional western society expects gay people to not express themselves, whereas an individualist would say gay people have an inherent right to express themselves and social expectation be damned.
I like having vestigial pockets. If I have real pockets, I put things in them. It ends up ruining the lines of my outfit. And then things like purses rub against them, which ends up hurting after not much time. And then I put my hands in my pockets, because I'm a nervous person.

Not everyone hates girl-clothing pockets. By a long shot.
I think spoofing early on was an issue because it was so easy.

It really stopped being a large scale issue after Android started making it harder to spoof.
They also installed sensors in the cushions that detect and measure gasses. They will know when you eat, what you eat, what your friends eat, when you and your friends are having a good time or when you are stressed. They will share this data with 3rd parties. You probably consented to this in some agreement. Your friends probably don't know their data is shared via your consent.
Fascism came from the US to Italy and Germany. With the US fascists there would be no Nazis, all the facist revolutions since the 30ies all over the world, esp. Latin America, Asia, Southern Europe, Africa. In fact that's the US biggest export model. Either old fashioned military fascist dictatorship, in the most excelling fashion and role model in South Korea.
Or the new style democratic fascism, as experienced elsewhere. The liberal and "f"ree model. Just be sure to control politics, judges, police, military, press, education, entertainment, propaganda.

These terms are well established since the 70ies, with the first big demonstrations against this political model, and the superior "Atlantic Partnership". Fascism is American. Leaving a nuclear wasteland in Europe behind is indeed a superior plan for the American meaning of "F"reedom. (NATO policies, not leaked by the Pentagon papers). Strategy of tension leaked by the Italians. The yearly putches all over. Press and entertainment domination. Just because historians don't teach it yet, doesn't mean the term is colluded. Eastern historian actually tought it.

Fascism is much more than politics against personal freedom. One if it's characteristics is exactly the opposite. It's a well-working democratic "freedom" scheme, in which all powers are dependent, bankrupt, controlled. Slave markets, literally. Race extinction as official programs. Militarisation of police. Genocides. 30% of slave groups in prison.

Nowadays just called corporatism, because the true name would be too disturbing.

"Liberal" is different. This is market liberalism, conservative politics, but with democratic controls. The powers should control each other, not as in fascism, where the powers are controlled.
People wanted to export the AST and other stuff from GCC so they could use it in other tools (e.g. syntax highlighter, code search, etc.). But by including that functionality GCC would open itself up to be used by proprietary tools, as the GPL doesn't protect the output of a program, it only protects the program code itself, so RMS was against it.

It's somewhat similar to the reasoning in why Linux doesn't have a stable driver API, offering one would remove the need to include drivers in the kernel and putting them under the GPL.
>“you should not be using hacker but cracker”

Totally agree with RMS (and this word is not RMS' invention: http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/crackers.html ) Also I agree with "global heating" instead of "global warming" and almost all of his neologisms.

>Stallman’s views in general on computing are stuck somewhere about 1990.

You might think that compiler theory has advanced at least a little bit since the publication of the book of Dragon - but my opinion is that it is not.

> The “GNU Operating System” (which does not exist, has never existed, and most likely will never exist[1])

How about emacs?
Sure, I agree, you definitely want to detect the more subtle cases.

Thing is, I doubt a saliva test would ever replace the "Well, he just asked the entire opposing team to marry him and told us he can see the future"[1] detection of concussion, or all the other known symptoms of concussions that referees at the club levels, and team doctors at the professional levels are trained to notice.

So yeah, if this can detect concussions not detectable via current methods, it's a definite win. But I also agree that if it were to replace the existing techniques, it'd be a net loss.

But I believe that, ultimately, the administrators of these sports realise a bunch of brain damaged former players is bad for the sport, so they will use it in a manner that complements, not replaces, existing diagnostic techniques.

[1]: Pretty much how my last concussion went down (thanks rugby league), except it was my teacher and half of my class I asked to marry me before they sent to me the sick bay. The delusions of predicting the future were very much real.
I just want to be able to write software on computers that I own, using tools I choose.

Linux gives that option. None of the other phones do.
Pretty much what I'd expect...

While most of the site seems broken, at least the online editor is working. There's an example of a traffic light that gives some insight as to the design of the language: https://stonecypher.github.io/jssm-viz-demo/graph_explorer.h...

One thing I've learned personally writing live editors is that while recompile on every key seems neat, in practice it is very jarring to have things jump around every keystroke. The problem with this is that mid-typing you may express an invalid program, so your rendered output jumps wildly from something coherent to something completely wrong, only to resolve itself when you're done typing. This is why I think it's best practice to explicitly recompile on ctrl+enter, even if you have the ability to do it every keystroke.
Its a interesting study in revealed preferences. I've been hearing about this for years so I presume people have started offering larger pockets in women's fashion, the fact that they aren't more popular would seem to imply that consumers don't actually want them.
Power is a continuum, not a binary. A foundational element in politics is the use of narratives to influence behaviour.

You can't stop a bullet with a piece of paper. But what's written on the paper can persuade a would-be shooter that the cost of their actions is likely to outweigh the benefits - because it legitimises and encourages counter-actions and severe penalties.

The efficient way to maintain power is by controlling what people believe. It's a lot less effort and mess than trying to torture and murder everyone who opposes you.
Appreciate that's the case for you, but under 1k in either the UK or US or many European countries is completely untenable for independent living.
SQLite3 is the only project I have ever seen that casually makes (non-normative, non-legally-binding) confident reference to its suitability for use in medical devices.
The overhyping of the Wright brothers for a hundred+ years and the writing everyone else out of history is a top notch job!
> and he should have never been there considering his lack of manners and social skills

Yeah, let's ostracize people with poor social skills, that surely is going to make the world more inclusive and fair... The things one has to read...
This is an often discussed topic online. The conclusion seems to be, women say they want big pockets but don't actually buy them if it means having a bulkier figure. The idea of more storage space is attractive in itself, except when they see how it would look.

Some claim this is all done by Big Handbag to push women to buy bags, but it seems much more plausible that clothing companies would sell big pocketed clothes if the market was big enough.
To add to the other answers, the acronym used to be FOSS. People changed it to FLOSS exactly because unethical corporations kept exploiting the confusion between "libre" and gratis on the English language to misinform people.

(Notably Microsoft had the gals to do it in its English PR and translate all over the world, including literal translations to Latin languages where both words are completely different.)
Do custom software for personal projects. Not justifying your paycheck. I too have been the sorry sod that was handed a legacy project in a PHP self-rolled framework. I really did contemplate the consequences of my reaction after pouring weeks into the "Easy" solution. My options were to vent my frustration by throwing a brick at someone or drink myself to sleep for two months straight. I chose the latter.

This is not hyperbole.
