It's not just about lazy typing it's about removing unnecessary clutter from large queries that makes things harder to read. In the author/books example, repeating the words author and books a dozen times doesn't convey any information that a and b don't, but clutters up the query making it harder to see the useful parts.

From someone who has tried many drugs and met people who were in the lifestyle.. its not completely true.

Long term use of most substances ALWAYS lead to problems and even the short term there are bad trips, brain zaps that alcohol dont bring. Also even for stuff that do not lead to physical cravings such as mdma, i have seen soo many people falling into an addiction. Its not a game.

Alchol wont be banned ever, but i think is a retarded debate to say "we should decriminalize other stuff be cause alcohl is bad". This is the worse reason possible.

Im quite happy drugs are banned and not mainstream so that my children will stay away from them and maybe try later when they feel more mature.

That doesnt mean i support the american war on drugs or jailing people for 3g of cannabis.. but the decriminalization of weed is stupid to considering two of my friends who have an impaired short term memory after 1 - 2 years periods of abuse.

I don't think the breaking point is the number of lines in the script; your pain point is probably one or two specific concepts or features? (or lack of)

Shell is likely to remain the best way to connect together other pieces of software.

The tipping point, in my experience, is folks trying to use arrays or other buffering of data. At that point they're writing in shell, but wishing for a procedural language.

Whereas, shell works excellently (and incredibly efficiently) if you can compose your task strictly into streams of data (a more 'functional' feel)

So the real answer I think is specific to the types of script you are writing!

But also it could be worth revisiting the style in which you're using shell; especially if you can call upon your own helper programs (eg. in Python) where you require buffering or non-streamed access to data.

Whilst there's a lot of documentation of sh/bash functionality, I
don't think there's anything like the same momentum behind 'best practices' as other languages like Python or even C.
Only in a world of Google dominance could Brave be seen as the good guy.
I know what you mean. I think this is really a matter of readability vs comprehension. I want all the context on one line so I can understand it, even if that does technically make it harder to read that line.

This is especially a problem in huge queries.

This isn't about the drinker noticing, this is about measurable physiological outcomes. Longevity, for instance, is not clearly affected by low levels of alcohol consumption. Not to question your Engineering teachers; I wasn't there and don't know the context, but there isn't a strong scientific basis behind the assertion that "there is no lower limit for alcohol being neurotoxic".
For various languages - at least Farsi, Arabic and Hebrew - the common wisdom and vast majority of users (AFAICT) have moved or are moving to XeTeX as the compiler. The polyglossia package, which is the modern replacement of babel, requires XeTeX. IIANM, the effective Unicode + multi-language support of the other two is not at the same level.

Preach. I don't consent to tracking. I don't want my browser helping anyone track me in any way. I don't want to be pressured and manipulated into buying things I don't need. Advertising is not moral and I owe nothing to anyone who tries to manipulate me.

Websites can move to more efficient and lighter methods of delivery to cover the absence of advertising revenue. Anyone skilled who works in the advertising industry is freed to offer his skills to better human endeavours. Everyone wins.
> if you just change the file extension of a ePub to html it will work fine in the browser

If that's the case, you didn't have a genuine EPUB to start with. To meet the spec it needs to be in a container (a renamed ZIP file) and have a handful of related metadata and navigation files alongside it.

That said, the actual text of the book is done by HTML/CSS, but within the EPUB container file.
You say "I know for a fact that the application will never need a client/server architecture" but also talk about a "Production Website" - surely a website will by definition need a client-server architecture?

SQLite will probably suffice, so long as you aren't running very complex queries. SQlite has some documentation on its concurrency model - https://www.sqlite.org/lockingv3.html. You might also want to look at https://www.sqlite.org/wal.html.
Well now I’m curious. Do you suppose if the app instead of “donation”, said “I’m giving you the gift of this software. If you’d like to return the favor, click here” it would fall within Google’s TOS? I personally kinda doubt it; I think the actual outcome Google wants is to prevent alternative means of monetizing an app, and being strict about the semantics of what a “donation” is, is mostly a means to that end.
It’s been said many times, but if the business model is advertising then you’re the product.. not the quality journalism or content. They’ll focus on generating content to increase engagement instead of perfecting what you think it is they are supposed to deliver.

Perhaps it is time for an advertising model to die out as the default.
I appreciate any article that approaches systemd as an API server that consumes dbus. I wish this was more common because I think the design is fantastic and should be emulated all over Linux userspace. So many services are spinning up random http, grpc servers or littering the filesystem with Unix sockets when dbus is so dang powerful.
> The only time weed or other drugs are mentioned favorably is when they have some "objective value."

> I don't know, I have seen a lot of pro LSD and psilocybin mushroom micro-dosing posts and comments

These ideas are very much in line with each other. The pro-psychedelic comments very often talk about the "objective" value (studies on mental health benefits and comparative safety) rather than only the subjective experience or ethics of criminalization.

Personally I want all drugs legalized on ethics/freedom principles, but especially with Psilocybin, MDMA, and Ketamine there seems to be a mounting wealth of evidence suggesting these things are miracle drugs in many respects.

I don't know that anybody can be 100% sure of anything. But all along there have been experts on coronaviruses who have known what to expect from this pandemic [0]. They know that coronaviruses don't mutate into different strains like influenza. They've studied multiple coronaviruses, some far more deadly than this one, and it's never happened before. They expect this one to weaken, if anything.

Personally I am very disappointed in the media coverage of the science applicable to this pandemic, specifically how much supposition is interjected by non-experts. For the clicks, I guess.

The guy did a not-insignificant amount of work on an app and his... "partner"... didn't even entertain the idea of using it; if not for mere exposure to their friends, at least for an actual "good" suggestion.

I think the idea that the project manager of a technical project should be an engineer sounds like a good idea.

In my life I have seen project managers getting played for fools over and over. If the project manager can’t asses if something like a time estimate is reasonable people will take advantage. The cost, the timeline and the deliverables will suffer.

Using a very short lease time for 192.168.100.0/24 when CGNAT isn't available would be one way SpaceX could deal with that. The DHCP client would then be frequently renewing the lease.

When CGNAT is available the terminal's DHCP server releases 192.168.100.0/24 and issues/proxies the CGNAT lease.

The terminal would be the default route so packets to 192.168.100.1 would still reach it and responses can be correctly routed back to the client using the Starlink monitoring application.
> Big Ad (aka. Google and its ilk)

So to be clear, "Big Ad" is like, dentsu, Publicis, Omnicom, etc. Companies that don't show up on HN much (but do ultimately buy the services which pay a ton of HNer's salaries).

They don't like Google very much, but Google owns a ton of space to put ads on, lots of first-party traffic with interesting properties, and more accurate targeting models than most other companies combined. So they have to work together. Real Big Ad would all rather keep the third-party cookie and not have to deal with FLoC, because they know they're already trapped in dealing with Google based on market demands, and FLoC will give Google even more forceful technical leverage.
> It should be noted that while markets may be mostly efficient, I do not think anyone is claiming they are completely efficient.

This is false. Grandparent is specifically claiming that markets are completely efficient. Here is a direct quote: "Whether you're an individual trader or a billionaire hedge fund manager, active strategies lose out to passive ones in the long run."

In addition, many academics are also making this same ludicrous claim.

I agree. I don't know why anyone would listen to this guy who confesses that he doesn't enjoy alcohol and calls it "an awful drug".

Oh ok, why did I even start reading this?
I don’t know if I’m desirable, but definitely selective. I targeted a few dozen roles I found, all of them at companies I was interested in. I got replies from a dozen or so, and ended up interviewing at 8. All them were very pleasant, even interesting in some cases. These were all places that are well-known here so maybe there is a correlation?

I don’t like the take-home assessment trend, but I do understand it from a hiring perspective.
Is tho ? Or is it simply is way of bringing a more PC version of "drugs are not that bad" in an anti drugs crowd ?

> I accepted a position with a company that had a sane, speedy hiring process.

The consultancy can hire quickly because they can immediately bill you out. It doesn't mean they're a better/more efficient employer or whatever. But I can understand OP's frustration.
Cohorts cannot be too small (or they are not published), nor too big (or they are not particularly useful for capturing a particular set of behaviors/interests). The algorithm will balance these two constraints which will lead to any individuals coming in and out of particular cohorts. The semantic meaning of a cohort will likely change over time as well. For that, FLoC is proposing adding version IDs
The definition is indeed more specific than that. Don't be silly. The part that is incredibly relatable there is 1) life long inability to get your shit together (not just periodic or some of the time), and 2) a deep seated emotional anguish from being berated by people your whole life for not doing what you're supposed to when you're supposed to.

It does terrible things to your health, finances, employment and relationships.

My difficulty with basic chores almost cost me my marriage, and I spent north of 1000 nights in the last 5 years doing the dishes at 2am dead last before going to bed because that was the only circumstance under which I could get myself to do them.

I think most people misunderstand it greatly because their frame is "can't focus" but that's pretty nebulous. A better frame is "having a disastrously shitty batting average on choosing what to direct your attention towards or away from". The chronic understimulation leads to engaging predominantly in things that provide enough stimulation, which often aren't what you're supposed to be doing, and getting locked in that mode because anything else pales in comparison so switching away feels almost painful.

Best metaphor I've come up with to describe the difference is imagine you had to live your whole life with no shoes. Imagine all the surfaces you've ever had to walk across and how that would have been without shoes. You'd be fairly reluctant to make transitions between certain surfaces due to the discomfort. So the routes you take would change. Some routes would lead you to not wind up at your intended destination due to needing to walk on a comfortable enough path. You'd always take longer than other people to get places.

Also it's not a mental illness, it's a neurodevelopmental disorder.
When you say that, I'm reminded of Feynman's book[1] describing the challenger accident investigation.

Basically he's investigating and goes and talks to the software guys and quickly concludes everything is awesome, and moves onto investigating hardware.

I was initially taken aback by this part. But he later he wrote:

"To summarize, then, the computer software checking system is of highest quality. There appears to be no process of gradually fooling oneself while degrading standards, the process so characteristic of the solid rocket booster and space shuttle main engine safety systems."

It makes sense, I mean they can fly simulations over and over before the shuttle is even built, let alone launched.

[1] The first book was "Surely You're Joking Mr Feynman", the second with the challenger investigation was, "What do you care what other people think?"
The banks I mentioned have a special product for kids under 13. For example USAA [0] allows any age kid, but they have to be 13 to use the web site. So you sign up for them, they get a card, you put money into it, they can’t use the web site.

[0] https://www.usaa.com/inet/wc/youth-checking-account
We even had a term for this: 'beacon': the phones were expensive,the tariffs even more so and most kids had very low call credit most of the time. So if you have almost no credit left, you call someone, hang up quickly and they suppose to call you back.
You can also run virtual machine with real card attached to it via VFIO if your host has IOMMU support. Guess what this means for anti-cheat.
If you think of all of the decisions that are made between having no software/users/"scale", to being something like Netflix, you can imagine how many opportunities there are for things to become "terrible" (or really, for a system to be made a small percentage worse, which obviously accumulates over time). I would challenge the assertion that most sufficiently scaled systems are "terrible", more that a person did not like them for one reason or another. If a system accommodates the demands of its users and maintainers, I don't really think you can label it terrible. Scaled software isn't art, it is either good enough or it isn't.

I would argue that it is becoming easier for "terrible" software to scale well. I would say that's a much bigger win.
I think they're asking about the Hoppy network, not Starlink.

Fun fact: Apple still allows signal, telegram, WhatsApp and few other high profile developers to use VoIP notifications without mandatory calling up VoiceKit. Because they can't work as smooth as users are used to they work with these new rules for notifications.

So, no, nothing 'improved' in your Signal experience. At least, not yet.

All developers are equal, but some are more equal than others.

I have the Tmobile service. I use at least 500 Gb/mo without problems. Others on the reddit forum use over a Tb without problems. The terms of service say Tmobile will deprioritize us when there is congestion, but I haven't experienced it. Also, it appears that Tmobile is limiting the number of subscribers in a given area to prevent degraded service. Overall, I like it (full disclosure: I have a dual Wan setup with xfinity being the other provider)
> The grandparent claimed that active investing is not a good choice for _anybody_. So a single example like RenTech is sufficient to disprove that claim.

Correct.

Too many passive index fund investors on this thread refuse to acknowledge that many hedge funds/proprietary trading firms consistently beat the S&P over 20-30+ years.

VTI and VOO are only 9% and 13% since inception in ~2001. Top quant firms like Citadel, Renaissance, Jane Street attain 20-40% annually after fees, over 20+ years.

On average, hedge funds underperform. But a UHNW investor is not investing in average hedge funds. They’re investing time-tested S&P-outperforming hedge funds.

I definitely read that last bit as tongue in cheek. Also doesn't "No, it would take too long" imply that their partner has used it in the past? Maybe the process really does take too long, because you have to scroll through a 100 movies before you find one you both like. And in that case it sounds like the partner was decided what they wanted to watch - Space Jam. In that case I'd just go "ok, sure, if you really want to watch movie X then let's watch it". Obviously we're just sitting here digesting someone's life on the internet. It's stupid anyway.
