Sounds like a lot of your anxiety comes from not having insight into the experiences of people that end up experiencing racism and sexism. You have the option of doing a bit of research and a bit of work to understand the 'other side' in these interactions. This pays off in a couple ways. First, you'll be more at ease in your interactions with women/POC. Second, people in those groups do notice when people put in a bit of self-work to build that empathy and create a good environment for that and over time will see you as an ally. Is that a process that you're willing to engage?

I think you're committing a historical fallacy. What you're saying is like condemning Abraham Lincoln because he said things that today we'd find unsavory or unenlightened. Fact is, Lincoln was highly progressive in his days.

Yes, the scriptures include things that are problematic, especially in the context of today's mores. But in so many cases, understanding the norms of the times really helps understand the "why", which is important.
I used to use this feature all the time when I was in school. When I lived in the dorms they limited our external connection speed to 8Mbps but all of the department servers I had access to weren't limited (by anything other than the school's connection speed and dated network infrastructure), so if I routed my connection through one of them I could get speeds closer to 100Mbps. It also came in handy if I needed to use sketchy wifi at a motel or something.
The company tasked to salvage the ship said that they will use dredgers and tugs and will try to pull the ship free. They also said that if that doesn't work they will have to lighten the ship, which can take weeks.

After that it was entirely fair and true to report that "it might take weeks to get the ship unstuck." Just because we got lucky and the simpler, faster, plan worked doesn't make such reporting hyperbolic.

They would also encourage helping the weak, the down-and-out, etc.

There was a time in the US when a needy person could walk up to nearly any door (except perhaps those of a few known scoundrels) and expect to find a meal, a bed for the night, clothes if needed, breakfast, and (depending on circumstances) some work to do the next day for pay.

The first great awakening had a profound effect on society - sermons preached in the 1700s directly influenced the US founders, belief in God and moral accountability to him became a basic assumption of society.

"Family values" is a term that focuses on where Biblical teachings have the most impact (the family) but it fails to capture the worldview within which such values arise.
Yeah, the part that is missing are the experts who can take those "crazy" suggestions and explain, in accurate detail, all of the reasons why there are better ideas.

Along with detailed explanations of the better ideas.

As it was, we kind of just got stuck on the jokes and random thoughts.

The miracle was also seen by sailors on a British ship off the coast of Portugal. Foley recounts an experience in England. He gave a presentation on Fatima at a college in England and was told by one of the teachers that her grandfather saw the miracle from his ship and wrote about it to his wife — “without obviously understanding what it meant or its significance.”

And finally, what most convincingly shows that the miracle was not only in the minds and perception of the witnesses is the fact that the crowd at Fatima felt the heat of the sun as it approached them, and their clothes and the ground — which had been soaked by torrential rain — were dry at the end of the miracle.

How does one claim this is just some optical mirage?
Right. Dumping internal memory representations is one point in the spectrum, with extremely appealing properties for compile time, code size, and run time (basically no cost), but other serious problems, including portability (32 bits or 64 bits for pointers) and security. Many of the zero-copy serialization formats (Flatbuffers, Cap'n Proto, FIDL) are inspired by this and to some extent have the property that a "plain ol' data" struct might be serialized by a memcpy of the C representation, but try to improve in the other dimensions.

That said, I don't think dealing with the byte representation is the real problem. Projects like simdjson show that you can convert in and out of JSON very fast. The challenge to bloat specifically is getting those converted to the data types of the application. Many serialization approaches, including serde, generate a goodly amount of code for each data type, and this adds up.
Did you read the article?

> Macko jumped into the rough waters in a remote Palos Verdes gorge and pulled a man to safety through potentially skull-crushing swells and over razor-sharp rocks.
I guess the article is asking for LA to lower the pay. And maybe that's correct. However some of the people in these jobs have saved lives. So maybe they are overpaying by $8M per year... but if they cut that back, should the talent saving maybe 10 or 15 people decide to quit... would that be worth it?

Each person that is saved is arguably worth millions to their family (we're just talking money here not love etc...) and millions to the GDP over their lost lifetime (we're talking about people that can afford to live in LA).
Much like claims about morality, the claim of the religious to be the only glue that can hold communities together is an obviously false claim that the religious get to make with a straight face because of the moment in history that we live in. In the United States, the primacy of Christianity over the last few hundred years has resulted in a culture that maintains nonsensical claims like these enshrined and untouchable.

Of course, this had to change eventually because the underlying supernatural theories are self-evidently false.

For minus the supernatural claims, religious is just another secular organization which fosters certain cultural and social beliefs, like many, many, many others. There is nothing special about religion and there never has been. Human beings do not require certain questions to be answered with recourse to magic in order to function. See the atomic theory for a counterexample.

I beg the moderates among us to agree that community is good, but to insist that it need not come with ridiculous magic strings attached.

Those other methods (ACH, Venmo, wire transfers) are owned by companies/banks and thus censorable. The whole thing Bitcoin is doing that everyone is spending all this money/electricity on, is allowing the global market to route around market inefficiencies introduced by government control (e.g. trade sanctions, tariffs, “capital flight” export controls, taxation double-binds [like for dual US/somewhere-else citizens], AML laws, etc.) That’s the base cryptocurrency “value prop” — before you add on the smart-contract programmable-financial-instrument stuff.

There are also other PoW chains, like Monero, that are “cheaper for now” — but if everyone using Bitcoin switched to those, they’d be just as expensive as Bitcoin is.

PoS chains (including maybe PoS state-channels for PoW base chains) are the good alternative — everyone in the space can see that. But they’re not ready yet.

> Bitcoin is like CFL bulbs.

I agree: like CFLs, Bitcoin is better than what we had before in some ways, but worse in others, and we can clearly see that we’re going to need to replace it. (The bad-actor analogy even holds up: both CFLs and PoW chains have externalized consequences. CFLs put mercury into the environment; Bitcoin contributes to climate change.)

But we didn’t try to muscle CFLs out of the ecosystem. They just disappeared from relevance — and production went to 1/1000th of peak — once we got good, cheap LED bulbs into the market. Until then, the market concentrated on CFL bulbs, because they really were a (rational-selfish-economic-actor) “better” option than incandescent. It made economic sense for property developers and other mass-buyers to fill their lighting neeeds with CFLs. And then — once LEDs were good and cheap — it didn’t.
That's a scam if there is one, I hope someone with a straight spine will look into it. A similar investigation would be warranted for LEOs making similar money in Northern California.

This was a time of the biggest inflation in US modern history. The treasury rate was >15%, double what it was five years earlier, and triple of 10 years prior.

These people were probably getting 4-5% annual raises at a time when inflation was going at over 10%. The 35% raise was probably just to bring them back up to their baseline.

For reference, using the BLS CPI calculator, $10,000 in 1975 was $17,000 in 1981. That's insane. And those are the official BLS numbers, which most of us feel undersell inflation.
Did it take the pro or anti position?
This is really very nice and useful! I read through the examples and thought about something that would be a good addition and then see that “-skip” was just implemented! I can skip (pun intended) using an additional layer of cut or awk because of this.

The detailed examples are great too, showing different use cases and features.

I took a tour of the Celestial Seasonings tea company in Boulder, Colorado many years ago and they had a robot arm for loading pallets very much like this one, except it was fixed to the floor. It had the same suction type mechanism and would grab boxes off a conveyer and stack them on pallets to be shipped out. It was very efficient at it's job and definitely was the highlight of the tour for me, even if it wasn't intended to be. Boxes full of tea are not very heavy, but certainly weigh more than an empty box. The point being is the suction mechanism for picking up boxes has been around for a long time (20+ years?), is tried and tested, and in this very article claims it can handle boxes of up to 50 pounds.

That's true, as long as there's something else surrounding the city that is happy to take those people of the city's hands. If there isn't, you can really only banish them by driving them outside the 200 mile zone and abandoning them there. The "humane" part kind of falls away in that case.
I still think they should have added another ship.

Did that robot just jerk the plug from the wall by pulling the cord rather than the plug itself? That's such a no-no. Even though there's no actual plug, but what else was that supposed to simulate?
The historical fallacy would be saying that early Christians were reprehensible because of their views independent of the time they existed in. I never said that. What I am saying is that following the teachings of those people 2000 years later is what's foolish, as we've come quite a long way in moral development since then.

In the case of Abraham Lincoln, he deserves credit for being progressive for his time in his pursuit of abolition. Does that mean we should follow his views on the inequality of white and black people, because he was progressive then? No, we've come a long way since then.
You don't have any reason that you have considered. Which is totally fine. The problem comes when atheists believe a priori that any argument for God's existence would be automatically false, even the ones they have never heard or considered.

Ronald Reagan is in large part responsible for many of the problems we face today. Him and Margaret Thatcher instituted a radical neoliberal revolution, for the benefit of the affluent and upper middle class. The result is an angry and bitter working class which you see in many countries especially in the US, who are looking for someone to blame.

Some realize that somebody like Bernie Sanders could bring back some of their former glory while others blame minorities , immigrants and foreign countries. The vote on Trump.

But both have a sliver of the truth. The free trade extremism of neoliberalism brought every worker in direct competition with low paid labour all over the world.

At the same time the neoliberal destruction of unions deprived them of an ability to fight for their rights, wages and benefits.
Legally, most of France's ex-colonies that haven't become independent are just bits of France these days (making it different from, say, the UK, where the rump former colonies usually have special legal status).
"100 KBytes is quite bloaty for a C64 program and wouldn't even fit into RAM in one piece ;)"

I was thinking of the numerous games that involving loading from floppy disks quite routinely. There's a ton of C64 programs over what fit in RAM at once. Cutting it down to what fits in RAM itself just seemed a bit harsh since even the C64 back in the day wasn't actually that limited.

Also, possibly you wrote your reply after I edited my comment about the ability to move pieces out, but I've seen people still whine about the "bloat" programs have from the sum of their linked libraries. My point is more that a modern program really does get into the dozens of megabytes fairly quickly on modern systems, for what are generally agreed to be good reasons... until we all start talking about "bloat", after which all sense is thrown out the window.

If you honestly sit down and look at how many numbers it takes to be a modern program, it gets large fast.

I’m a bit sad how remote work is likely to hurt my social life

I have many close friends that grew out of the intimacy of solving problems together. We could casually hangout IRL after work. Our partners and kids would get to know each other. In turn, that growing trust would feedback into a more positive workplace.

It’s not the only way to make friends, but it was an easy way. Now my relationships with coworkers can feel more transactional.

It’s further worrying considering the general trend of society to increased isolation and loneliness.
The standard library will be a killer feature. Even for people that know the existing ecosystem (as I do), as more libraries fall out of fashion or become abandoned, and people have to pick up (several) new libraries from scratch for basic tasks, they'll realize (as I did) its not actually any different than just using Deno. I don't know if that will be enough, but that's one of the angle's I'm watching closely now. I'm partly biased because I like playing with streams, and those can be a nightmare in Node.
1. There is a long way to go before Chinese cities are on the same pollution levels as most of Western Europe, likely even Eastern Europe. I personally don't see it as much of a priority. That's really the sort of thing you guys have to sort out on your own, imho.

2. this is, politically, a non-starter. As a voter, I would not agree with it. I think there is margin in every country to tweak policies according to local needs, but a blanket continent-wide ban is unrealistic and unlikely to appear anytime soon.

3. It's unrealistic to compare a big isolated landmass surrounded by massive oceans, with a complex territory surrounded by a pretty shallow sea and a massive land border. In addition, Australia effectively employed inhumane practices, with all that they entail (including protracted legal cases), and stained the reputation of the country probably forever in terms of human rights. But I don't think this is a topic for HN, the purported link between migration and mechanization is extremely tenuous.

So your wife submits to you, but she also independently makes decisions which you come to an agreement on?

That's great for your family, does that mean a family where the wife makes all the decisions and controls the power is immoral?

Slavery doesn't have to do with whether it was paid or not (many slaves have historically been paid as well) but rather the voluntariness of their work.
It's not a question of which light arrived first. I see light arrive from X at some time T1+t1, I look at how far away I am from X, I do a little math to calculate how long it took the light to get there (t1), I subtract, and now I know what T1 is. Same for T2.

The issue isn't when the light arrived. The issue is that I can find a frame of reference where T2 < T1, that is, the actual events occurred in the other order. It's not when the light reached me. The problem is the time of the events themselves.

One of the things I like about going to my local agricultural supply store is that they don't seem to have the need for retail packaging. There are large boxes and creates (clearly labeled most the time) that contain each item. No need to individual package each part. Even the big-box hardware stores do this for things like screws. There are many items that can do with much less packaging.

I have no experience with modern variants of Latin, but wouldn't that be akin to trying to read Portugese when you know Spanish? You might get the general gist, but you wouldn't really get the full underlying meaning. You'd certainly miss more complex ideas like idioms.

I'd imagine it would depend on your goal. Do you want to be able to work your way through a text, or do you want to be able to appreciate poetry in the language? I'd say it might work for the former, it almost certainly wouldn't for the latter.
The items they discuss, like more rigor on MRs, static analysis, etc. seem like no-brainers from five years ago. I'm not knocking them, I don't know the scope of their limitations. And they're doing the improvements now, so good on them. Just seems odd some things weren't being done previously.
Yes, this was what one would call the default approach of digging and tugging. I am very glad it worked. However, there was a distinct possibility, that this approach would not have worked, and I think all the discussions were about possible alternative approaches. If the high tide at full moon had not provided enough lift, then they would have had to figure out a way to unload the ship.
No unions is the cause of it being worse. Unions doesn't mean it's good, but no unions means it's getting worse.
The UK demolished unions and privatized public transport like the railways. It got so worse the government had to buy the tracks back to repair them because the owners didn't care despite fatal accidents.
> I just find it hard to believe people are going to bother with Deno any time soon - we’ve gone too far down the NodeJS road.

It depends on migration effort. Take typescript for example, it's very similar with JS that migrate the codebase is not that painful. If the standard library and package manager can prove to highly useful, we'll see two possible scenario that aren't mutually exclusive:

1. People migrating to Deno

2. Newer nodejs version follow what Deno has

In the end it's good for us
It’s worth noting though that all your quotes are from the various post-gospel letters, not quotes from Jesus.
