What's frustrating about this is I feel like it doesn't matter how much evidence there is for the emerging consensus that it emerged from an animal at the market.

The counter-argument is still always, "Yes, yes, but what if instead of that maybe it somehow came from a badly-run lab instead?"
For me it boils down to a number of reasons:
1) It’s simple to use and allows me to focus on content.
2) It’s widely supported with a rich community.
3) It just works.

The whole security issues piece is a misnomer IMO. Wordpress has had security vulnerabilities, but the reputation of “Wordpress is easy to hack” is down to poor quality admins, rather than poor quality WP code a lot of the time.

For video today, you have the a la carte choice. I dropped my cable bundle and spend less per month for better programming. It means I don't have any live TV but it's a reasonable tradeoff for me. I don't really need an aggregator. I have 3 or 4 monthly charges, any of which I can drop at any time and I'm fine with that.

The issue with newspapers/magazines is that there are so many of them and there may be only an article or 2 a month I'm really interested in.
That is what is known as colorblind racism in current social justice thinking. The idea is that treating people equally is inappropriate because you are ignoring the impact of the various oppressions they have experienced.

Some people would go as far as to say this is a cornerstone of white supremacy.
They don't immediately make articles about them no. However, they don't work alone - if you read articles from the WIV on the matter every single one of them is made in collaboration with international researchers, which would have had access to notebooks and private databases.

4-6 weeks is lower than what we've seen abroad - in Italy between the likely patient zero in September 2019 and the first official case in late february, 5 months had gone.
Taxes don't change X. If landlords have to pay more taxes and try to raise prices they won't be able to rent the unit. If renters are forced to pay the tax they'll leave unless rent is lowered. Either way the incidence is completely on the landlord.
This post shows that some very simplistic algorithms can’t unambiguously determine a key. But I don’t think it establishes that a more sophisticated algorithm could not. Key center is not just based on chords and notes in a scale. It’s based on the note/chord that seems like the place where the music is at rest, or at home. Many songs have non-diatonic chords, but it’s still fairly obvious what key they are in.

That said, there are examples where they key is ambiguous even to humans (e.g. Hey Joe [C G D A E], or Sweet Home Alabama [D C G] but disputed whether it’s in G or in D).
> Why would you say something to defend the asshole?

I wouldn't, I'm not sure how you took that from my comment. I'm saying if I defend my group (eg "not all white males are like that" or "that wasn't sexism, he was doing the same to everyone") it often (in my personal experience) gets interpreted as defending the asshole, by going against the claim of sexism/racism/whatever.

In my personal experience, the chances of any comments on the situation getting misinterpreted as negative are too high. Either you get accused of denying the sexism is real (ignoring that you got treated the same way by the assholes), or you get accused of "well actually...". Sure, sometimes people understand, but the risk is real.
So let's get this straight. People on this thread work as programmers, and want to get handsomely rewarded for their work by their employer, but are, all too often, too tight-fisted to pay for tools -- made by people in the same industry as they are -- which will make them do their job better and deliver better results. What does this say about people in the profession? Shameful.

Minimalist web frameworks are better in my opinion. Less code that can break, less friction between you and DOM.
You seem to be reading in a lot more hurt feelings on my part than I really have. I was doing a thing called "giving testimony." [1]

I talk about sexism because it comes up. I talk about sexism because it is pertinent to my life. I talk about sexism because I happen to be online and have nothing better to do because the thing my life revolves around is coping with my medical situation. [2]

I overall have a really positive opinion of HN which is why I spend so much time here. There seems to be no good way to express that and also state clearly "But I still need more income anyway, even though I don't hate everyone here."

Wherever you go, there you are.

I am likely the highest ranked woman here because literally starving and being homeless helped me heal when that isn't supposed to be possible. It's routinely drama to talk about my medical situation and I get called a liar to my face and told I'm crazy for talking about the fact that I'm getting healthier when that isn't supposed to be possible.

Hacker News is the only place on the internet where it is ever possible for me to have any kind of meaty, meaningful discussion of medical material and it has been a source of occasional one-off conversations with people with PhDs in Biology or what not who were kind enough to answer my questions in layman's terms, which has literally been lifesaving and life giving.

I don't hate HN. I do hate being desperately poor. It really sucks and I would like it to stop being a part of my life.

I'm at a point where I got the memo: Contrary to everything medical science seems to believe about my condition, semi-fasting is beneficial and will likely remain a part of my protocol for the rest of my life, even if I stop being poor. Though I only learned that because I was literally homeless and going hungry for part of most months for several years.

For most women, being homeless and going hungry would not be a literally life saving experience for them. It would be merely embittering.

So there is never any good way to talk about the fact that Hacker News literally has helped to save my life and also make the point "I would like to stop being poor." I don't want people to hear "She starved and that saved her life" and use that as some kind of bullshit justification for "Womenz should just be abused. It's better for them!"

I have very poor credibility when it comes to talking about my firsthand experience with getting healthier when the world claims that simply cannot be done. I'm in a no win situation in that regard.

Talking about sexism in the world is generally far less controversial than talking about the fact that I am getting well when that isn't supposed to be possible.

I love and adore HN. I loathe how fucking poor I am. I hate it with every fiber of my being and I would like to stop being poor and I am absolutely certain my gender is a factor in my intractable poverty.

I don't really care to engage further with you on this subject.

My dear, that was exactly what used to be when I started programming.

Plenty of successful companies used to live from selling all the stack.

In fact GCC only picked up steam the day Sun decided to start charging for the Solaris C compiler.

Thankfully the GPL hate crowd, by pushing MIT/BSD licenses has just brought us the future that will be the reinvention of the public domain and shareware of the 80's.
Not. Loquat is a summer fruit that tastes tropical, like pineaple, acidic, juicy and refreshing. Texture similar to peach. Medlar is a winter fruit said to have the texture and flavor of a good apple cream.

Both trees are relatively similar in shape, but very different also in character. Lets say that Loquat "is a Magnolia" and Medlar "is an oak".
Paul Beckwith has been promoting SRM for a few years now.

Bio CCS will also be necessary, such as kelp and/or phytoplankton farming at scale to sequester carbon.

Thanks. I specifically am thinking of running. Sudden speed increases can be a source if injury (at least have been at least once for me). I associate being caffeinated with being more driven in my running to hit some speed goal.
This take is insanely disconnected from reality.
> we won’t fix it by giving into the fear of being labeled.

But we can't fix it by doing otherwise—asking people to stop being "overly" cautious—either. Another comment put it best: that solution is akin to asking people to self-sacrifice, except that at the very least jumping on a grenade gets you a medal; in this case, it gets you vilification.
What can I say? Life was hectic and hugely stressful. Stress and depression have the tendency to rob you of your self-preservation instincts. I finally started recouping, some 10-12 years after I started having health problems, but what can you do. Better late than never.

As I understand it, the big problem was that the "oil spilled by a chevron sub" wasn't, at least not according to the evidence that had been discovered through the usual legal process... it was probably spilled by a company owned by the Ecuadorian state long after Chevron and their subsidiaries ceased to have any involvement. Then some really shady business happened where, as far as anyone can tell, the Ecuadorian judge threw out the existing independent expert reports and replaced them with an "independent" report that was secretly ghost-written by him and his team for no justifiable reason in order to find Chevron liable anyway. He also left a considerable paper trail when doing this which the US courts got their hands on, hence all the hand-wringing in the article about "sensitive client information". (The confession from the judge probably didn't help, even if some of it was later retracted, but even without that he'd be in huge legal hot water.)

Somehow, I suspect this quote from the article is at least as much about that development as it is about the lawyer in question somehow being persecuted by Big Oil: "It is this strange multi-front battle with one extraordinary explosive development after another. It has had this magical quality to enrage everyone involved in it."

* India: FBTR (operating)and PFBR (under construction)

* China: CEFR (operating) and CDFR (under construction)

* UK: Dounreay, PFR

* Germany: KNK-2, SNR-300

The shut down ones mostly shut down because uranium minerals were found to be sufficient for the world nuclear demand for now. We really only need to go through the complexity of breeding when you have 1000 GW-scale nuclear plants or more. Today we have only about 400.
I really am not. You might be correct. I'll ask the doctors when I get to them.

Moving submodules is indeed a PITA, but you don't have to recreate your whole repo.

The "correct" (albeit still annoying) way:

- git submodule deinit <path/to/submodule>

- rm -f <path/to/submodule>

- git submodule add ... new/path

In an emergency situation, you can almost always recover. I've not corrupted a repo in almost 10 years and I do some unspeakable things to them :)

To remove a module manually:

- git reset . (from root; NOT --hard)

- Remove the <path/to/submodule> from working directory.

- Remove entry from .gitmodules

- Remove entry from .git/config

- Remove (-rf) the folder .git/module/<path/to/submodule> directory (it follows the same structure as the working directory)

- git add -A .gitmodules <path/to/submodule> (Tab completion might not work but the command will)

This can be used to forcefully remove a submodule.

To remove all submodules without starting over (I've personally never needed this in the last X years):

- Remove all working directory paths for each submodule

- Remove .gitmodules

- Remove .git/modules/

- Remove any mention of submodules in .git/config

- git add -A

Usually the first manual one solves whatever problem you're facing.

EDIT: I have no idea how to format HN comments, sorry :| nothing I try works. Hope it's readable.
I really respect this way of dealing with unreasonable complaints. I guess the term for this is "killing them with kindness", and it's much more healthy than escalating things with a rant about how "entitled" the complainer is.

Ideally the complainer will see how positive the developer is being and reflect on their own attitude, but even if they don't, it gives a good image to other people who read the messages and sets expectations for how people should behave, so that a project doesn't devolve into toxicity.
Consider Phlebas isn’t one of the better ones, IMO, and it’s probably the least typical of them. Player of Games or Look to Windward would be a better starting point.

It feels more like Tesla are simply trying to sell you a car rather than sell you a weird financial instrument that amounts to a Tesla convertible into some Bitcoin, at the same price as a Tesla (so they are basically giving you a free at-the-money call on Bitcoin and the only cost of exercising it is that you’d have to wait longer to get your Tesla.) This doesn’t feel like an easy position to hedge for the company and Tesla doesn’t feel to me like the kind of company that should be figuring out how to hedge such a thing.

Instead they sell you a car and give you a sufficiently bad deal for the refund that you will only use it if you actually want the refund rather than because you want to speculate on the price of Bitcoin.
The most valuable part of CI where I work right now is it being run on a reference setup, with persisted builds and logs attached to each merge requests.

We are all supposed to run tests, coverage and benchmarking localy. The point in CI is to guarantee nobody cut corners and keep verifiable proof of good builds.

We could fulfil the same requirements with a hand made setup on a box somewhere uploading subsequent artefacts, but I am not sure we would be happier on any specific aspect. Even cost wise, setup and maintenance could non trivial compared to the amounts we're paying now.
You could watch it at 10x speed 10 years from now if someone was recording it (I'm pretty sure satellites are recording it but I'm not sure how much the footage cost)
There is no one magic bullet panacea. Many approaches will be needed to holistically reduce the energy in the water system.

CCS and SRM are the leading ones. As far as CCS goes, doing so with mechanical pumps is a waste of energy when biomass can do it much more cheaply, efficiently, and at a larger scale.
I found the cxx example very easy to read, which surprised me, it was not thst verbose. The D example another poster has in this thread was the easiest and cleanest IMHO.
> Over-monetizing their dev tooling was a significant contributor to Microsoft's loss of dev mind-share over the last decade.

I disagree. I think the biggest contributor was the loss of Windows as the platform to reach paying customers.

All throughout the 90’s people paid massive amounts of money for Visual Studio and MSDN subscriptions. There was also a huge ecosystem for such things as VBX or OCX controls to simplify development.

Developers easily paid the price for Visual Studio because that was the way to reach paying customers. In addition, Microsoft was very aggressive in giving free copies of Visual Studio to students. My university had a program where you could get access to all of Microsoft’s Operating Systems and Development tools for free through your .edu email account.

Then the web and mobile came, and Windows as the place to reach paying customers faded away.

I never said they can't lobby the government. I said they shouldn't feel entitled.

If I'm destitute and I'm at a soup kitchen; I wouldn't complain about the food even if it sucks, because the alternative is to starve.

It's the same thing here, beggars can't be choosers. If you want the government to change the rules, go ahead. But don't demonize the company that's literally putting food on your table because you don't like the only job you can find.
I disagree with this definition of sexism.
The essay you shared, "Open Source is Not About You", is excellent.

Another one that I highly recommend is "Open Source Is Free As in Baby", with quotes like:

> I think of someone releasing open source software as a gift to the world, not as claiming a responsibility to maintain it for you. Some projects do claim that responsibility, but it’s not automatically conferred just because someone released a project on GitHub. I think much more of the responsibility falls on the person using it. It’s your code that will be using it, your code that will need to be upgraded, and your code that will break.
What's good for society might not be good for the individual.
It's not really that strange, since these defences are very blunt and inaccurate to begin with. Sexism is seldom clearly identifiable, even by its victims. How can you really tell if criticism you are receiving is sexist and not bona fide? The answer is in many contexts you simply cannot.

The Communist Party in China has led an economic boom over the last 40 years absolutely unprecedented in human history. That earned them a ton of credibility with their citizens. You can commit atrocities and few people will care if you also lift 500M people out of crushing poverty. At the same time, Chinese soft cultural offerings like movies and music have gotten decent if not good. Why would they look up to America at this point?
The biggest pain point for me has been that they're basically incompatible with `git worktree`. By default they'll just be cloned from upstream in the new worktree, thereby defeating the purpose of using worktrees in the first place.

I used to have a bunch of hacky scripts for working around this, but lately I've just been giving up and avoiding submodules as much as possible.
Last time I had some free software actively out there, I got that several times.

My response was "So if I follow your demands you'll stick around and maybe demand more, of I tell you to get stuffed you'll go away and bother someone else? In that case: feel free to get stuffed."

Some just went away, I got one "I'll make it so you'll never work in the industry again!", and one started to beg profusely that I implement what he wanted because he would lose his job without it (not sure how that worked, I assume completely made up, didn't care either way).

Of course that was long before current social media outlets made it relatively easy to create a made up shit-storm, I might be a bit more diplomatic (but no less definite) in the same position these days.
The path of least resistance requires less work? I don't disagree with your view on this but it seems like the incentives simply aren't aligned to learn how to dodge an ever evolving anti-sexist culture that is interpreted as having different communication rules by different people. If it was as easy as like "don't misgender people" or something sure, fine everyone can learn the rules of the protocol in under 15 minutes. There is no reason why anyone can't do that. The rules for interacting aren't this simple though, and they are often differently interpreted by different people. Learning how to communicate in a way that makes every person feel comfortable often just isn't worth the time investment. If we want people to take this other option it has to have significant and demonstrable positive incentives that make people want to invest the time.
