My thoughts exactly! Have you seen what french kebabs are doing to Indian food now? You can get 'naan wraps'. Seriously, a cheese naan that's layered with mayo/lettuce and whatever meat you want inside. I don't mean to come off as a food snob, but what kebabs are doing now is pure bastardization of indian, french, moroccan, and greek gastronomy.

Yes, from a technical perspective you are right. However, from a conceptual perspective, you can't see any of the content in a server without being specifically invited. There is no global search. You are clearly either "in" or "not in" a server unlike, say, a Tumblr tag.
That's possible, but this isn't "unnoticed" and the others have far longer track records in the US at this point.
Yeah, great example of him making a fool out of himself. \u200bhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktO6IvLT2eg

There's a lot of cringey comments and statements in that video that are just hilariously wrong I thought it might be satire at first. Apparently you can't put steel in contact with concrete because a tiny whiff of surface corrosion is going to seriously risk the integrity of that 3/4" thick steel pipe... Not to mention claiming that clearly they didn't account for linear expansion of the pipe right after poking at the linear bearing material and saying it looks like they put it on some type of plywood.

That video is 20 minutes of him spouting off the same kind of nonsense and trivial mistakes that he spends every other video deriding other people for making. He even makes some mistakes that are basically just pure physics, which he of all people should know is suspicious on the face of it. He claimed that if a test vehicle failed to slow down and impacted the far end that it would rupture the test track. It's a 3/4" steel pipe with a massive thick door and the inside being at a weak vacuum, it's not coming off. Not to mention his differential heating claims which would not change with length given that the test track can obviously resist the bending with just the weight of the tube elastically deforming it to keep it straight.

His own zealotry on some subjects blinds him to his own obvious mistakes. If it was someone else making a video with so many errors he would be all over debunking it.
That wouldn’t apply to all your assets, meaning the tax would be assessed only on wealth above the threshold.

PG “simplifies” this in his example by asking you to consider a tax that would have a threshold of 0.

The risk of a vaccine is very low. But emotionally it is hard to accept.

It is my actual choice to have the vaccine and go from 0 chance of vaccine-related blood clots to some non-zero value. Whereas catching covid feels more like I'm in control of not catching it by not leaving the flat, and even if I did catch it, chances are it'd not affect me that much.

I know this is not totally logical, but it is difficult to get past emotionally. Imagine if I did get blood clots from the vaccine - I'd go from safe in my flat and healthy, to dead, and for what? To protect me from a virus that has an even lower chance of causing long-term problems, and from which I can protect myself by being careful.
Hi all! Developer here before first coffee

I'm actively working on natto.dev and it really is in "preview". I'm excited about the future of programming and having a canvas to explore it on. still looking for "crazier" ideas - my favorite current one is dragging a column out of a table. https://twitter.com/_paulshen/status/1366801887341649924

The more I work on it, the more confident I am that there's something there. If you try it, I'd love to hear your feedback!

natto takes inspiration from a whole lot of work. non-exhaustive list: Yahoo Pipes, Excel, design tools (Figma), Observable, darklang, GToolkit, SmallTalk (repl-driven), http://joshuahhh.com/projects/pane/, http://www.lamdu.org/, https://futureofcoding.org/catalog/

As much as I love natto (the food), I'll likely rename it at some point. Pronunciation hit rate has been 0%

Argumentation by synonym, that's a new one!

"Rent" in an economic context refers to "any payment to an owner or factor of production in excess of the costs needed to bring that factor into production" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_rent) as opposed to profits or wages: without a profit nobody would invest in anything and without wages nobody would work so these are both necessary costs. In a well-functioning market the monthly payment to your landlord is primarily a compensation for the cost of capital (profit) as well as administration and maintenance (wage), though of course if there's a bubble in the housing market, landlords will be happy to take advantage of that too (rent).
It wasn't just a feeling.

I live less than 8 miles from a major oil refinery in the US, and that fact is always in the back of my mind. I would much prefer to live at least 15 miles from anything worth nuking.

(I do not consider the end of the Cold War to have been the end of the risk of nuclear war.)
I think it goes beyond theater. This pandemic has made everyone an expert, and once an opinion is formed, there’s a strong obtuseness to changing it. Very few are willing to critically reassess what they know and their conclusions, so what it looks more like to me is a steadfast refusal by the scientific community to stick their necks out and possibly be wrong.
I enjoy his blog posts, primarily because they show just how your brain can turn to pudding when it's more profitable to be willfully ignorant than otherwise. No one can read his recent obtuse entry and come away thinking his conclusions are supported by the carefully selected input. It's mindless at best, a clumsy, dishonest swipe at the poor at worst.

He's just a middleman between wealthy investors and children of privilege, and like all middlemen, desperate to demonstrate some kind of value he adds to the process before the actual players catch on to the pointlessness of having middlemen in the first place. It really becomes sad when a layer of entrenched middlemen starts to actually believe in their own necessity, so I honestly hope he is at least being disingenuous. Just not sure he could be so consistently dense if it weren't genuine.

As an insider, I can tell you that Turkey and Russia can never be strong allies, but it could be a partnership. Turkey and Russia are on opposite sides in Syria, Libya, Armenia, and Ukraine. Being on opposite sides is not today's thing. You can easily trace this way back in history.

My personal opinion is that Turkey is threatening France's interest in Northern Africa. By saying Northern Africa, I would like to point out countries with a Muslim majority society and have a grim past of French colonization. I think the tension in Northern Africa will escalate. Because I don't believe Turkey would give up its position on Libya. Having a sea border with Libya is directly related to Turkey's potential rights on gas resources in East Mediterranean.

Another thing to mention here is Turkey's defense budget on maritime industries. In Turkey's threat modeling, they expect something profound in the Mediterranean soon. We can see this by looking at how much money they invest and how they build ships—the ships equipped with sensitive long-range missiles etc.
It was researched as quickly as possible on a for-profit basis.

Changing the world according to your values can be extremely good or extremely bad. Considering the selection process for billionaires, I wouldn't assume it's good or even OK for them to have that power. For example, a few billionaires (opinions vary on which ones but it doesn't matter) have been quite instrumental in turning US politics into a toxic waste dump. Maybe values should come from a broader and more diverse population.
Back when I was single and had more disposable income, I remember being very upset after not being able to purchase songs for one of the Rockband games on my PlayStation 3 (that I had bought in the US) while living in Mexico (either through PayPal or directly).

I had to wait until I went on vacations to exchange Mexican pesos for dollars so I could buy some PS cards and then think hard about the songs I wanted to download.

It puzzled me that I was able to buy stuff on Amazon (back when they only shipped books and DVDs directly to Mexico), ship it to an importer who would take care of import taxes and other stuff, and import the products while paying with my Mexican credit card, but I wasn't able to download songs directly or through PayPal for a game.

This was mainly because Sony didn't allow migrating your account to another country, so if you had created your account in the US, you were out of luck and would have to lose your nickname and trophies.
I only know my corner of the globe well. In this area, vaccine appointments are pretty easy to get and everyone 16+ is eligible. It certainly looks like any delay caused by this would be minimal.

This meme needs to die. Yes you can’t have alternative browser engines on iOS but outside of nerds in HN that’s an implementation detail that doesn’t really matter to end users. The stuff around the engine — the chrome — is the identity of the browser. Firefox gutted their rendering engine with project Servo. Chrome abandoned WebKit for Blink. Are they different browsers now? Of course not!

Apple can’t just enable content blocking because that would potentially break apps that use webviews for non-browser type activities.

> Polish culture is quite conservative and suffers from a lot of toxic masculinity. I would see this mostly as simply a manifestation of that. It's so weird and sad that "dying for your country" is still viewed as some kind of essential "manliness" by many.

At least a third of the market of hormonal birth control is progestogen-only pills, and those do not raise the risk of blood clots. At best your comment is reductive, at worst misleading and the tone is uncalled for.
This strikes home to me. I would summarize as:

* Technical debt is a result of a mismatch between technical architecture and business needs (this comes from Ward Cunningham, the originator of the concept, the OP says)

* OP wants to analyze this mismatch in two main categories:

1) The technical architecture was wrong from the start, as a result of not understanding the business requirements (domain) accurately enough. He calls this "wrong design". (While the OP doesn't say so, I think you could further subdivide this -- you thought you understood the domain but had some misunderstandings; or you knew you didn't understand the domain sufficiently, but had to or chose to proceed anyway to be good enough for now).

2) Originally there was a good match between technical architcture (design) and business requirements (domain), but the environment changed, you have new requirements/demands that didn't even exist in original implementation. He calls this 'rapid evolution'.

In fact, I think those categories can overlap -- the landscape always changes, part of good design is attempting to predict some of that change. This is the trick with software design in general, you are always trying to plan for future needs, and trying to predict the future is always inexact.

Still, these categories seem useful to me conceptually anyway, even if not an exact bifurcation. Some technical debt (design problems) seem more like one or the other.

OP says for the first category "bad design", you reduce it by spending more time understanding the requirements/domain.

For the second category, "rapid evolution", you write code that is easier to refactor. Ah, sez me, but there is the rub, that's exactly what's hard, writing code taht's easy to rrefactor! Especially because it requires predicting the future itself, everything is easy to refactor on some dimensions more than others, requires trying to predict the tthings likely to be invariant vs the things likely to change.

Still, I think these are some good guidelines, it's not really one or the other, think about how much you can invest in both these paths -- understanding your domain better (which really means what kinds of changes are likely in the future), and making code easier to change, even in ways you didn't predict.

I'm not sure if the account is operated by a single person, and if it is, I'm not interested in "hanging them" for their opinions. This isn't a free speech issue. People go to Wikipedia thinking they're getting neutral information. How many people are aware, when they load some of these pages, like Max Blumenthal's for example, that it's mostly the work of one account hostile to that individual? And in this case, the work of an account that's already been banned for the hostile editing of other people's pages.

If you're interested, compare Max's page before and after Cross got involved with it. You'll see the same pattern we documented in our article. It just gets filled with more and more criticism.

This isn't the same for establishment-friendly voices. Have a look, for example, at the entries for Bellingcat or its founder Eliot Higgins (Bellingcat appears 5 times on Max's page). See how much criticism you find in those entries. Compare with the the articles below[1][2]. One reason of course is that Wikipedia deprecates sources it doesn't approve of, favouring instead "reliable sources" (mostly corporate, establishment-friendly news sites)[3].

Having followed the discussion and arbitration process in 2018, I don't really think anything will change. But I'd like to see more people become aware that what they read on Wikipedia, if it's political, is likely to be very biased and could be the work of nefarious actors.

> No, so their governments can use fear of those refugees to spend more money on police and counter terrorism.

This argument isn't exactly less weird.

So if I get you right, there is a Cabal of elites in say the Netherlands and Austria that is pushing invasions on say Iraq while simoultaniously cutting down on domestic security so they can later, say 15-30 years, rake in the profits by increasing spending on domestic security.

You say that you can blog freely without consequence in Russia, but I wonder what the effects of publicly disclosing e.g. homosexuality would be? The impression I have is that it would be analogous to admitting to racism in the US or Europe.

I guess nothing will happen. It's not like homosexuality is persecuted in Russia. I've seen several times people openly admitting their homosexuality in public with no consequences. It's explicitly prohibited to "promote" homosexuality, whatever that means. Though I've never seen or heard anyone being prosecuted by this law.
I very much doubt that bezos, zuck, and musk share a common purpose. And whether you're clamoring to amass more wealth, recognition, or control, the top posts point stands; obsession over a singular purpose to the detriment of everyday life is a bad pattern. at the worst, it will cause emotional stress and mental disorders - at best, it will divorce someone from an understanding of shared human experience.
How do you propose education happens?

That’s excellent, thank you for sharing! The comment you linked to suggests that the gender disparity can be attributed to women being over-represented in getting the vaccine, but I’m not sure the logic holds. Medical professionals were mostly done being vaccinated prior to J&J being approved.
Where I grew up nudity and swearing was never censured, but violence was always restricted. In the US it is quite the opposite, which is annoying.

Northern Scandinavian language can be quite "colourful", and mid-day TV with full on nudity was normal.

But also why I was not allowed into the cinema to see "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" when it was released as it was a 13 due to violence, and I messed up my birthyear when the cinema ticket seller asked when I was born (I was 11)...
To be fair I go for walks in the park in a Chicago neighborhood that used to house nuclear rocket launch sites. This is near the lake in a really nice park. The Cold War was weird that way. And as someone who was still in school near the tail end of it, I’d say I’m not really worried about a large scale invasion because I always presumed I’d die very early in either a first strike or second strike scenario.

I’d love to know what scenarios the French military think are likely that don’t involve large scale nuclear weapon deployments.
Not the OP, but my take is that the name is terrible. The concept is probably needed in some places, though. It'd be fairly shocking if there aren't some strict entry requirements on crowded venues for a while, though maybe a recent test can substitute for a vaccine.
> It’s different in Europe to some extent, at least, since many Europeans have access to alternatives.

There's a romantic idea that Europeans do not need cars but the reality is quite different.

It's true that people who live in central Paris, central London, or other large cities may not need cars but the majority of people outside these large cities do rely on cars. This is true in France, in the UK, and I suspect other countries as well. And, again, many professional and tradespeople need cars/vans.

This cannot change overnight. Realistically this probably won't change at all even if we do reduce the need for cars around town centres.

All I'm saying is that getting rid of ICE vehicles has to go hand in hand with availability of affordable EV (including vans, lorries, and utility vehicles). We can't just say "ICE are bad so let's just ban them".
honest bug :) should be fixed!
I agree maybe if they could use money freely they'd invade the system more, corrupt more people, buy a police station, whatever

I guess I felt that was implied. Making crime harder does reduce the amount of crime. That's pretty obvious. Like I said, ransomware was possible for decades but only became a big thing once Bitcoin made it easy to anonymously extract money from people on the internet and then launder the proceeds. Tor markets had no new tech in it except cryptocurrency: Tor and sealed envelopes had been around for many years. It took a breakdown in AML and the instant it happened those sites mushroomed.

Now, you might say, drugs, ok, so what. There are other sites where you can get worse stuff, of course. In the very beginning Silk Road had no rules about what you could sell. Very quickly ads appeared for nuclear material and slave girls. I remember that back then; nobody was quite sure if the ads were real or if they were very convincingly done trolls. Nobody wanted to find out either, Ulbricht didn't waste any time in deciding his site was maybe not quite the absolutist free market he had planned. From then on it was restricted to certain kinds of goods.

All this, to piss off a drug dealer trying to buy a Ferrari while kids die in the streets under the batons of the Police

One of the difficulties of evaluating a system for blocking abuse that works well is that after a while all you have is the false positives and bad activity that isn't blocked. So it's easy to get down on it and say, well, look at what we're stopping: huge efforts and there's hardly anything there. Well, yeah. That's what happens when a system is working - people realise they can't beat it and give up. Of course it makes it really hard to evaluate, but sometimes the system breaks and then you can see the difference.

Oh come on, Europe has been just as permitting of violence as the USA. It's not like Italian giallo and zombie flicks don't exist, or french horror torture porn like Martyrs. Spain had quite the horror film industry with plenty of violence too, like Paul nashy films. Hammer horror in the UK was not shy at all with bloodshed, and even scandinavian horror films were quite the little genre from a bit ago.
