Yup. That's life. But if you make a resume like everyone else's, you're going to get everyone else's results. That's life too. I don't have a magic solution that will guarantee you a resume so awesome that literally every hiring manager in the world will break down in tears and hire you on nothing more than your resume.

You can turn this to your advantage, which I alluded to in my original. If you want to work with people who thing making hovercraft out of snowmobiles is awesome, put it on there. If you want to work with people who think that is a strange distracting thing to put on a resume, by all means leave it off. I'm sure HN is largely biased towards the first, so let me say I'm not being snarky at all about the second and I'm totally serious; if you are interested in a banking or government job you may well have those sorts of external interests yet find it a bad idea to put it directly on your resume.

Really my main message here is, take advantage of the fact that the resume is free form and don't just thoughtlessly put your name, work and educational experience, and three one-word bullet points about your hobbies or something on your resume, and then stop, because "that's what a resume is". Put whatever will get you hired. If there isn't a standard category/heading for whatever that is, make one.
Anyway, I'm a fan of suckless (https://suckless.org/) and I try to use minimum set of dependencies (incl. transitive dependencies) in my node projects too. I like your project a lot from this perspective and that given its small size and lack of dependencies, it's also easily malleable to different needs, than the ones you anticipated.
An interesting point. A payment is something one entity makes to another.

Who here is rendering the status "payments"? It certainly isn't Lee. It seems that status is coming from the community.

Who the volunteers split off to serve, after Lee began making changes that don't.

Hm. Seems like maybe the volunteer-status economy worked as it should.

We've replaced one monopoly browser (IE) with another monopoly browser (Chrome), except this time it's worse because Microsoft's business model is selling software and Google's business model is tracking and selling user information for advertisements.

I know plenty of people who haven't "lived in English" before they're able to speak it. But I don't think English is much different than other languages in that the most effective way to learn it is to use it.

> similar salary to senior doctors or lawyers, with a significantly less stressful work environment and shorter working hours.

There's so much to unpack here. Some doctors make 400k. Some make 700k. Some make 300k. Some are stressed and work a lot of hours. Others aren't and don't.

Some lawyers want to be on partner track at a big firm. They might be stressed and working a lot of hours so that they can make 400k or 500k or $1,000,000 annually. Some make $100k and don't work much, aren't stressed.

Most software developers make less than $150k. Most software developers I know are stress balls until they check out and then start working 24-30 hours a week and the rest of the office time is bullshit.

On the west coast of the US and in Fintech in NY some developers make 300-400k.
It depends if the rewrite is meant as a joke or a serious minimal implementation.
Yea, I think with both ansible (and stuff like puppet) and kubernetes they are both powerful tools that are pretty leaky abstractions. They are great for sharing and implementing recipes, but that abstraction layer makes it a little more difficult to become a master chef and understand/control exactly what's happening. They are awesome to have in your toolbox, but I still find it incredibly useful to have a tool like python in there as well.

The problem is certainly not capitalism. Look if you are going to hand out free stuff, dont expect anything back. You cant buy investors/friends/etc.. by giving them free stuff.

Companies have toilet paper. The toilet paper company said, hey, give us $5 and you this amount of paper. Just as open source people said, here is our software and you give us nothing. because it's free. You cant say afterwards, well, actually, i think everyone who used my stuff owes me $100. That's just scamming by lying that it was free.

If you think your software is worth something. Sell it. No wants to buy it? well.. maybe it's not worth much. Some companies pay thousands of dollars for certain software.

As for the marx stuff. Those kind of ideas always lead to dicatorship/slavery or they talk about some fairy tale where companies make decisions in a democratic way etc etc. It doesnt work. They are fantasies. You NEED capitalism. Who is going to do the shitty jobs? no one wants to do them. The nice thing about capitalism is that it makes the shitty jobs more valuable and so people do them by free will. No need for forcing people to do them. Do you really want to get rid of that?

Reminds me of that scene from Die Hard where the non-native German speaker says "feels like it's gonna rain like, dogs and cats" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0yQbpoQ0hY

If you want to see extremely toxic, combine this mentality from the business side with confirmation bias from developers who think the same way.

You get development efforts with massive scope people brush off as nothing. I've worked with a lot of these sort of groups where someone entrepreneurial understands enough to think they can simplify and improve something. Then they get a developer, two, or small team that agree. They start the undertaking or even worse, do the work under contract for someone else where they have contractual deliverables. Some way in they start to realize just how shortsighted and cavalier they were about brushing off uncertainties they either knew or didn't know about. "It can't be that hard! It's just software, it's all virtual! We don't need a bunch of capital! We just need a little bit of math! ... "

All those uncertainties start to become quantities and they realize the absolute pit they dug themselves into. At that point they look for someone to swoop in and cleanup their mess. Usually it takes careful reading of the contract deliverables with liberal interpretation of what is stated and how those things can be minimally met. You really need people familiar with the types of software and systems involved and needed to achieve your goals to narrow down these uncertainties. If you don't then you're digging your own grave.

As above, Andrew Lee said Freenode was not owned by Private Internet Access.

Perhaps because they have accents not associated as 'native' of that area. I moved away from my home country a long time ago: when I get back, people I don't know ask where I'm from because my accent has changed. After a few days it comes back and I blend back in. I believe this is very common to migrants, so not only do they have an accent not from 'here' but maybe they have a twinge of the local sound.

I changed companies 15 times in 15 years (changed countries 4 times) so I'm familiar with this phenomenon. It seems so artificial. Like a scheme. I would definitely have changed companies fewer times and wouldn't have left the country if I could just have been paid what I was worth.
When the government will take away your franchise in a few years - as just happened here - that is the only sane thing to do.

Shareholders aren't stupid enough to invest in something long term unless their investment will have a return. Companies invest when there is a long term profit from the investment that makes it worth it. With governments all over the world having a history of nationalizing railroads, there is no rail investment that can be made with a time-frame beyond 7 years - and rail is up front expensive enough you need a lot more than a 7 year time frame on most investments.

Most of the railroads in the US were funded by 150 year bonds. (your history class talked about the government giving railroads 10 miles of land on each side of the track - but that was only a few routes in the west that got that, most rail in the east the railroads had to buy the land at market price). I assume most of the rest of the world was similar.
Fair point. But, and I might be wrong here, I figure people can much more easily control their writing than their speech, especially if they're not expected to send an immediate written response (e.g. in chat). Perhaps my mental model of foreign accents is wrong, and forgive me if I'm being an ugly American here, but I've often thought of a foreign accent as a disability, as if the person had a stutter or other speech impediment.

This doesn't kill IRC. The name isn't important. It's just a brand.

If the Freenode volunteers and users move to Libera Chat, then Libera Chat becomes the new Freenode.

Oracle didn't kill Continuous Integration when they bought and destroyed the Hudson project. All the volunteers moved to the forked Jenkins project, the users followed. Jenkins is now the new Hudson.

Like Oracle, Andrew and Co. will end up holding the bag on a dead brand as the project moves elsewhere.

I think some of the confusion is that "pone" is not a root word or term. So, the opposite of postpone is not prepone, in the same way that prepartum is the opposite of postpartum.

I think that is common, when someone needs to translate something into English you know they just hand it to an intern with Word. I see the evidence of it on every public sign and document here in Denmark, but also traveling around in the rest of Europe.
> There is zero possibility that Google accomplished proper "language transfer" with the vast majority of Silicon Valley programmers being native English speakers.

This speaks to ignorance of who Google employs. A ton of the engineers are immigrants there. When I was on Google Photos in MTV, I'd estimate it being about evenly split between native, English-first speakers, vs people who were either non-native English speakers or grew up with two languages simultaneously (children of first gen immigrants in the US).

Silicon Valley has a huge amount of cultural and ethnic diversity, so I don't know why you would make this mistake.

Languages evolve. With something as big as the commonwealth, different groups will see their own local use of the language evolve in different directions. The "mother version" itself has evolved plenty over time, and I don't think it's reasonable to say that the way that particular version has evolved over time is the "definitive" version of the language.

When stories make baseless and grandiose claims like

> While women have always made outstanding contributions in research, education, leadership, finance, and entrepreneurship in the Valley—although always in numbers curtailed by tremendous sexism, not talent

It makes me question how much credence I should put in the rest of the story. How does the author know that talent or desire had nothing to do with it, and any deviation of the world from their counterfactual ideal is the result of “tremendous sexism”?
> I found out that "prepone" was not an actual word in English, based on the dogma that all legitimate words in a language must be found in a dictionary.

I disagree. In this case, it was based on the fact that no one you were talking to knew the meaning of the word you'd made up. This is descriptivism at work.

> Are prisoners forced to work against their will for no compensation?

The threat is that if you don't work, you receive more punishment, whether formal or informal: solitary confinement, abuse by guards, ineligibility for parole, etc. So yes, they are forced to work under duress. It's basically extortion.

EU states stripping their citizens of their citizenship:

https://www.dw.com/en/revoking-citizenship-how-it-works-acro...

Generally this is done with (of course alleged) terrorism as an excuse, although this does not seem to be the case in practice. In Belgium, there were two cases where citizenship was stripped, one involving an orphan and one involving lying to the state unemployment agency about owning foreign "property" (a shack, not rented out ...) In both cases, I find it very hard to believe either person had anything remotely to do with terrorism, yet that's what happened anyway.

The second "big" cause of revoking citizenship is people who acquired more than one citizenship (and aren't rich, then there is no problem ...) and don't "do their utmost to cancel their previous citizenship".

> I suspect you are being wilfully obtuse when you ignore nothing is springing up out of no

Sorry. I realise now that "springing up" is indeed not the correct term for the Israel-Palestine situation. That wording can be much improved. I'm saying that the legislation is about states depriving their own citizens of citizenship, and doesn't apply to the semi-almost-but-not-entirely 2 state situation in Israel.

Likewise there is nothing in this legislation that prevents property from being confiscated.

There has been talk of adopting pledge/unveil into Linux also using EBPF if I remember right, though that doesn't seem to have gone anywhere either.

I'm not saying pledge/unveil are the best way to do it, and in theory capsicum is AWESOME, but it's also super complicated and not for the feint of heart.

But pledge/unveil are mostly idiot proof, in about 15m you can figure out enough of how it works to feel comfortable trying it out in something like `cat`. I've now read the landlock docs and the capsicum docs and I still don't feel comfortable playing with either one of them. I'd need a lot of time and the docs laying open beside me to feel comfortable even trying them in a small thing like `cat`. Reality is? Nobody will ever bother until forced.

And "security" in computer land is still trying to figure out how to fix giant gaping holes like memory leaks and overflows. Things like capabilities are still not even on the roadmap in most software. If you care at all about cross-platform, there is zero chance you can implement capabilities.

So, CA has massive and growing wealth inequality that has resisted carceral solutions for over three decades. The prisons are already overflowing, and federal courts have ordered the state to reduce its prison population which requires "soft on crime" policies like this.

Mentioning wget makes me embarrassed for the days (probably 20 years ago) where I used to prefer wget. Curl annoyed me because I couldn’t “simply download a file”. Needed to provide an option just to write the file to disk.

Of course now I feel really icky if im ever forced to use wget. And curl’s feature of defaulting to stdout is of course a perfect thing and makes way more sense than the alternative (for many reasons).

As a dev mostly working on embedded system, I can understand your rejection of web tech. Yes, it is a mess.

I tried many different solutions. Best experience for UI for me was QT for "standard" applications on desktops (C++, I think it is available for Java, though).

At some point I pushed through and learned the current web stack. I don't build the nicest looking apps, I have little experience in typography or design, but I think it is still a useful tool to have in your box. And JS isn't that terrible as people say it is.

I don't buy into the newest lib to develop against, but for my use cases that isn't necessary anyway.

No idea. But the interesting fact is, that regardless of the depth (assuming that iceberg was afloat already before the separation), it will not increase ocean level at all. Melting of on-land snow and ice/glaciers leads to global ocean level rise, not those icebergs afloat. Antarctica is a fascinating place: driest place on earth, so that grounding of any electrical equipment is needed (which is very challenging, since ice thinkness is of few kilometers).
OK. Then it should be the "average number of transistors per square micrometer" for a die.
Fair enough, I shouldn't use such strong language. That being said, the CEO of a company making money off Matrix showed up to advertise, then complained about how I hadn't disclosed that I do some volunteer work at the XSF while simultaneously not disclosing that they have an entire company based on the thing they're asking about). That seems rather egregious and made me quite mad. My original answer I still think was perfectly reasonable too.

All that being said, you're right, I shouldn't get drawn in every time this person (whom I've just realized is the same person who goes by another name elsewhere) jumps in on every chat across the internet trying to advertise their product. My own fault for getting drawn in and using language like "hissy fit" that is, as you said, unreasonable. I'm sorry about that.
Yes, but they're still judged for their actions, so they'll lose voters if they do nothing or take actions that will be widely criticised by the press.
