>I don't agree. [...] And so I direct people away from Microsoft solutions

I don't doubt there is a narrower tech audience (e.g. HN) that would base tech stack strategy on which company has the most 404 errors but my comment was specifically responding to the author's use of "generally".

I interpreted "they generally lose confidence in the owner of the server" -- as making a claim about the psychology of the general public non-techie websurfers. TBL had an intuition about that but it didn't happen. Yes, people are extremely annoyed by 404 errors but history has shown that websurfers generally accept it as a fact of life.

In any case, to followup on your perspective, I guess it's possible that somebody avoided C# because the Microsoft website has too many 404 errors and chose Sun Java instead. But there were lots of broken links in sun.java.com as well (before and after Oracle acquisition) so I'm not sure it's a useful metric.
Given that what reality looks like, including that part of reality that consists of "one's thoughts about reality", depends on how one looks at it. The fundament of reality should probably be considered, not one's thoughts about it, but one's way of looking at it.

I want Thread to run in parallel.

I've tried multiprocessing but I found it buggy for my use case.

I tried to create a worker queue and submit items to worker threads with JoinableQueue but eventually the system deadlocks and no progress is made. I'm not sure what the problem is. It never finishes.

It's a sentence correlator using multiprocessing - it generates correlations of words in your sentences.

Maybe somebody can catch what I'm doing wrong.

Definitely Iran used to be our second favorite ally in the region. However, if they were overthrown their footsies with Russia probably would kind of muddy things ... kind of like Turkey where you’re not sure they’ll always be on your side or that you can be in their side.
It was pretty normal in the US as well until a few decades ago. When I was an undergrad, very little in the city I lived was open on a Sunday. I remember it being a nuisance as an undergrad. I often had classes and other things to do during the week and often had sports on Saturday, so finding the time to do shopping runs during the week could be a pain.

Historically, the reason was religious. But mom and pop stores also often opposed Sunday opening because large retailers were in a better position to just add incremental staff than they were.
I use "cloud" as a catch-all that covers local and remote VMs, that are all built using standard templates. My local VMs are LAN-local, not host-local. My remote VMs are all <10ms away.

My particular workflow involves running my IDE locally, and having files hosted remotely. My IDE is plenty snappy, running my code is plenty snappy, but I'm slowed down by a need to commit + push changes to a repository.

I have it on my stack to do something like syncthing to keep a local + remote cache without needing to explicitly go through version control, but I suspect that'll just shift the latency out of my workflow, and trip me up in different ways.

Almost certainly not. When you make things marginally worse across the board on an infrastructure matter (in this case by reducing competition) rural areas almost always lose more.
> a really bad sign for private broadband to be beat out like this

Why is it bad? Sounds like customers are getting high quality service for a good price.
Thank you for responding and keeping it respectful.
Most muni broadband isn't even subsidized, they pay for it with subscribership and still offer dramatically more value than comcast et al. That's how bad our monopoly ISPs are. The protection they get also gave Google, of all companies, a hard time spinning up some competition. There's something to be said for not putting our internet connections in the hands of government, but it absolutely is not a problem of stifling competition. There's none to stifle.
I’m definitely a minority in this regard, but I completely support increasing the price of games across the board. Development is more expensive & involves more people now. The cost of games has been $60 for what, 15 years? One additional problem is that everybody wants to cash in on subscriptions and micro transactions for continuous money, even when you’ve already paid “full” price.
In a nutshell, this is the correct answer. Going all the way back to when Apple's Java was deprecated and eventually removed from the shipping OS. In the moment, it's annoying, but I would rather not have to fight with preinstalled software when trying to get a newer version of (say) zsh installed.

Here, they not only realized it had become popular, but GNU licensing gave them an excuse to switch the default without much thrashing about.

The fact that I can `chsh -s /usr/local/bin/zsh` and macOS doesn't freak out is quite nice.
Ernest Rutherford’s Ambitions
"nowhere in the Github issue does anyone mention disk space"

What is mentioned is ambiguous. So while disk space isn't specifically mentioned, neither is spaces in the context of filenames.

Here's what people are reading in that issue:

"Update: our infra team is still working to resolve this issue. They ran into some space issues but this issue should be resolved quickly. Unfortunately, I do not have an ETA yet."

There isn't enough context to know what it means.
Going on a tangent, but to be fair I don't think the old answer was ever that the Earth/reality/the universe/all/etc is only 6000 years old.

Isn't that more of a modern misinterpretation of ancient mystical children's stories? You know, saving the pearls from the swine, so to speak?

The powerful have often been caught up in controversies (usually due to misunderstandings) around secret societies and other clubs that tend to carry those philosophical and mystical traditions forward which tend to reject the myth books as anything remotely literal. Except for (forgive my glossing over this part) more mundane fundamentalist uprisings throughout history, a lot of leadership has tended to associate as if they're above the literal tellings.

If you follow threads of mysticism in any form back through human history, it seems the overarching theory has remained pretty similar with the middling details a little murky and swapped around. Hell, some of the concepts strike me as uncannily close to what we continue to unravel and discover with physical sciences.
No matter how badly I want org-mode to be the solution here (and it admittedly covers a lot of people’s needs) there is nothing about plain text files that will enable me to move objects and rich media around in 2D space. Of course in org-mode you could handle metadata of blobs of data and include things like coordinates but plain text doesn’t really have any concept of 2D space. Any sort of rich media you want to embed other than images require a different view like web view or pdf tools but doesn’t naturally embed inside of the text file. Would it be impossible to do? Probably not, it’s emacs. But org-mode as it is right now certainly doesn’t cover most of these requirements.

I tend to start writing in bash/sed and going on to regret it as the script gets more involved and needs a refactor in perl.

Coups and assassinations don't form the totality of what the OP regards as an atrocity, but anyway, as far as coups go, Saddam in '96 and arming and training opposition in Syria and Iraq strike me as only semantically distinct. The CIA also still conducts assassinations through its drone program, though they use weasel words ('''targeted killings''') to dodge the accusation.

IIRC most early American astronauts were also military aviators - either air force or navy.
The best online merchants these days are about successfully mixing online and offline experiences. The term of art here, if you want to Google it, is 'omnichannel': the idea that their experience with the merchant should seamlessly span all the channels (online storefront, brick and mortar storefront, support channels, etc.). One major use case for Stripe Reader would be as a payment solution for omnichannel merchants.

Omnichannel commerce is a product of the Internet, and specifically an Internet that's capable of supporting commerce, because a business could not operate this way without it. Seen through that lens, Stripe is "increasing the GDP of the Internet" here.

Though, I admit, this is starting to stretch the limits of how much you can consider "the Internet" being a separate place.
The thing is, I know what "infinite" intrinsic motivation and flow feel like; it simply disappeared at some point.

Maybe wrong environment, maybe unfortunate neural maturation, maybe I haven't found the right thing?

And all this talk about adult ADHD in the context of self-improvement feels like medicalizing normality to increase demand for stimulants. Stimulants stimulate, so of course they increase motivation (at the cost of cardiovascular and possibly other side effects). With the right (stimulating) amount of alcohol I actually get motivated too.

Not feeling motivated to do shit on your own aside from what's necessary to survive (i.e. not in the context of a greater purpose) or leisure seems pretty natural for most I know.

And what actually constitutes a pathological level of attention-deficit and hyperactivity: To me it's that loud kid running around during class with no amount of (non-abuse) punishment reigning it in; not not feeling like operating under pressure of higher demands due to increased competition or do or die mentality.

Python is to Unix/Linux/Mac what PowerShell is to Windows. It's here to stay.
> It used to be, but Apple seems to have lost interest in the Unix/Open Source side of macOS a decade ago. They've abandoned GNU tools after GPLv3 (2007), haven't added anything new, and just let the old stuff limp along until it's obsolete.

There's a whole lot more to Unix and open source than GNU. macOS has current versions of many open source tools, such as zsh, awk, sqlite, tar, git, and xz.

If one is being pedantic, GNU is not even "open source" but rather is "free software," and macOS certainly is not free software.
This is basically org journal. With a quick search you can find everything you need. I agree the tagging aspect and organization is overkill for many purposes, but the benefits is that it might help you remember related topics that a search would not have turned up.

Analysis of “What’s 2/3 of the Average?”
You are on a steep learning curve. It is good because it means you are learning: tech, tech best practices, about your org, about the product and domain expertise.

On top of that, you got to form lots of new social connections.

Like @disrael aptly put, you are not competing against your peers but those who were not hired.

Observe your peers and recognize that you need to perform like them in a year's timeframes. Not now. Once you change your outlook, it will make it much easier for you to observe and ramp up your learning.

Anxiety is caused when you are able to gauge yourself and your environment. Maybe you are setting yourself work goals when you are spending most of your time learning. It might help you if you can set up learning goals for the next 2 months. That will be a more accurate measure of your productivity.

You can always reexamine your situation after 2 months and adjust your goals accordingly.

For me it just means that math is just like the code. If you start defining stuff and cross-calling it without special care you will end up in trouble in form of infite loop or recursion or in case of math, a paradox.

From what I understand it is that you might reason about but not prove that statement "this statement is not provable" must be true but thus unprovable.

Godel's result shows that if you are willing to assume axioms that let you do arithemetics, statement equivalent to this paradoxical one just crops up.

For me it just means that you need to put additional restrictions of what you can do in math so that kind of statement is excluded from math.

Same way that "set of all sets that are not their own elements" got excluded from consideration by more carefully defining what set theory is involved with.

How to Become a Great Public Speaker
Yes, that's what I understand from your previous comment. You say:

> "don't eat animal products, eat plants + enriched foods + injections/pills/tablet"

So that would be replacing meat with supplements. I don't think we disagree.

What I disagree with is that it makes any sense to replace real food, meat from animals, with supplements. First because this kind of replacement makes us even more reliant on the food industry, which is the entity that is responsible for the atrocities committed against farm animals in factory farms, and also the damage to the environment caused by such farms. We cannot and should not trust that same industry to provide us with essential nutrients in the form of supplements, because if we do, who knows what new ways they will find to harm us, animals and the environment - the industry is only driven by profit and it will maximise its profit come hell or high water, whether it's selling us sides of beef or B12 pills.

There's a much better alternative: eliminating factory farming, dismantling the meat and dairy megacorps and going back to producing the meat we really need in a way that doesn't cause unnecessary suffering to our domesticated animals and does not destroy the mutualism relation that we've had with them for a few thousand years.

And btw, by "the meat we really need" I mean that most of the world consumes way too much meat, much more than anyone needs. This is the result of the over-supply created by the food industry, for the purpose of maximising its profits as I've said before.

We cannot trust the food industry to feed us, because it will only feed us shit that makes us sick, destroy the environment and harm animals, and it will continue to do so whether we eat meat, plants, or little pills from a bottle.

> the dollar was once based on gold. We've moved on from that after realizing that doesn't work.

Citation needed.

My understanding is that governments moved off the gold standard because they couldn’t debase the gold-backed currency without getting caught. Moving off the gold standard was devastating for citizen’s savings and the constant debasement was used to pay for endless wars.

WWI was only made possible becauuse countries were debasing their currencies instead of raising taxes.

> The problem any competitor will have fighting FB is entry price

I don't think that's true. The main problem right now is that VR is still (even after all these years) an unproven/experimental consumer product.

It's like buying a game console in the 70s-80s compared to buying one today. Back then, video games were still largely experimental and you were more likely to get garbage than gold. Today, designers know what works/doesn't work, and consumers can be confident in their purchases.

VR is not like that yet. A "VR Game" is still a vague and uncertain term, and consumers can't have confidence in it yet. There are some great VR experiences out there, but there are many many more garbage ones.

I think that a company focusing on finding a good fit for VR is going to be better off long-term than one just trying to corner this early market.

Example: If Valve figures out the "secret sauce" for VR games (much like Nintendo did in the early console wars), it's not going to matter how cheap Facebook's headsets are. People (including Oculus owners) will flock to Steam for the superior experiences while Facebook scrambles to make clones. With a failed "platform", Facebook will ultimately lose.

If anything, Facebook's investments to flood the market with cheap headsets (possibly even subsidizing them) could end up helping Valve in the long term, since it just means more potential Steam customers, and it gives Valve the opportunity to experiment with the high-end stuff without worrying about the market completely dying in the meantime.

Mathematicians Prove 2D Version of Quantum Gravity Works
I do my dev locally. It's so much faster and I have a dynamic IP so the work of setting up a private VPN or resetting the firewall every day would drive me mad. I've been thinking about setting something up so I can do dev work outside during the nice weather on a highly portable but underpowered laptop, but so far my un willingness to go through the effort of setting it up exceeds my desire to have it set up. (In the past I've handled this quite fine with a powerful laptop. But right now my powerful laptop has zero nanoseconds battery power and the idea of discarding an otherwise working laptop bothers me on environmental grounds. It's approaching it's fourth year of life, but I can't find anything that obviously exceeds its specs.)

It also means I just don't have to worry about things when the internet goes down. Back in the olden days of working in an office (at a company where most people took the work at home option), I can remember how often the other staff would ask me "is the internet down" and my answer would be "I don't know, let me check". My home internet connection only seems to go down for the moment the the IP changes, but office internet connections seem to be subject to IT staff that need to constant change something, upgrades, who knows what the excuse is today.

However, I do my "local" work on a virtual machine or a docker container. I use GNU/Linux as the dev OS and as the test/production OS, but that's because I'm using what I'm comfortable with - there's no technical reason I should do it. My co workers have been quite productive using MacOS and Windows. This probably depends on your language environment: if you're using a JetBrains ide for your inspections, I think it's not hard to be OS agnostic. But when I've used LSP servers, they've typically expected to run locally, and similarity helps.
