Yeah cool! If you have a twitter or any other way to follow you guys I would love to - I work at a sustainability-focused startup and I know a lot of people who would be interested in this, and not all of them would be in the HN audience.
There's also no government influence on public media editorial decisions. Congress provides funds to the CPB and the CPB can issue grants to local public media. Even PBS and NPR affiliates all have local editorial control over their broadcasts.
I'm not sure where you're getting which distros I tried on the machine out of that post (it was then-current versions of Ubuntu and Fedora, for the record).

[EDIT] If you read quickly, you probably just missed that I related three instances of Linux problems across three of the four x86 machines I've run Linux on at home in the last ~decade, since it stopped being my primary OS for most purposes. Only one's a hardware problem, but the other two are failures at doing extremely basic things like installing its own boot loader or not rendering itself unbootable on a system upgrade. One of those is running Debian, that's true, but I wouldn't try to use that on a machine with a very modern video card, you're right that that'd be a recipe for trouble. The only one that wasn't a bigger pain in my ass than it was worth was a trash-tier Chromebox I installed Void on. That was basically fine. It's consistently good on Raspberry Pis, too, since that hardware has a lot of eyes on it and is very stable over time. Sorry I snapped above, no excuse even when insult is perceived, I've modified it to take that out.

It seems like, if this sort of thing is actually happening, then, when we strip away all the specifics, which seem to be a bit emotionally charged, we're left with a clean little fable about capitalism?

"A long time ago, there was one store, and prices were high. Then a second store came to town, and prices were low. Eventually, one of the stores closed, so now we have one store again, and prices are high."
Sure, libraries exist in Lisp. The claim that they don't was a fairly ridiculous statement. But...

Do libraries exist in Lisp on the same scale as they exist in Java? Especially, do they exist with the same level of quality, professionalism, and maintenance as they exist in Java? I'm guessing that the answer is no.

> So the statement "libraries...do not exist in the Lisp ecosystem" is plainly false and it marks the speaker as someone not very familiar with Lisp.

Sorry to be so blunt but this is ridiculous. You are mentioning hash tables and multithreading to prove your point. I am pretty sure this is not what parent meant when they wrote "The ecosystem is just not there". And what does "writing your own libraries because it's so easy to do" even mean? You still have to do it and it takes a lot of time and money. A library that talks a specific protocol to a medical devices. A library that writes some obscure data format used by some government somewhere on earth. This is the real world.
Sounds promising! I have noticed companies with environmental impact have disproportionately more success in crowd-funding. Many non-institutional investors (like myself) put their money in ideas that are good for the world - almost like charity. Perhaps you will consider raising funds and spreading the word using a crowd-funding site such as https://www.startengine.com/explore
Well said. It's funny how Scrum was sold to developers as a way to "empower" dev teams, but more often than not it simply encourages micromanagement and poor planning.

We code review unsquashed branches.

Honestly I just diff the whole thing from where they branched to the tip anyway I rarely find the individual commits useful as there is usually a process of their discovery in that with backtracks etc. that’s a waste of time to review.

For example I could review a new class that they heavily refactored in the next commit.

I’ve not had an issue with code reviews or backporting. I suspect this is because either out units of work are smaller than usual (no long feature branches)

But maybe you are onto something here and I’m missing out on a better way but I’ve not experienced enough pain in squashing on merge to master to contemplate switching to a rebase workflow (which means convincing
team members too)
The margin may have flowed in circles, but grocery margins are low, so most of the money leaves the community anyway.

A community needs a way to import money, not just a way to export less. That could be a locally owned store, but only if it's attractive enough to get clients outside of its community.
Thanks a lot for that! We have very little published at the minute for patent reasons. It's actually pretty neat as we consume the waste brine in the process, so nothing to disturb local marine life as you have issues with at reverse osmosis desalination plants
Three-Part Series on The Dream Machine (Stripe Press)

There are plenty of non-web desktop apps that also never release any features, and whose engineers use the time saved from not dealing with "npm has found 600 security vulnerabilities that you can't update" to migrate their build system from Makefiles to Bazel or whatever. It's all the same -- the human race as a whole doesn't know how to deliver features with high velocity beyond a certain scale.

The proprietary desktop apps I use basically get updated every few months with what seems like about a day's worth of work for one engineer. (I use Fusion 360, which might actually be a web app in desktop clothing, Datagrip, and Simplify3D. Fusion 360 adds features and fixes bugs occasionally, but mostly each update tightens the screws on what features are available on your current payment plan. Simplify3D seems totally dead, I'd be surprised if they have any employees. Datagrip has a few updates a year, and they are things like "we fixed a bug when talking to some database you've never heard of via two tin cans connected with a piece of string". If you don't like a piece of software as it is right now, definitely never buy it. I do like all of those things, but they have definitely not discovered some sort of toolchain-based productivity miracle.)

And the morue aux fraises (cod with strawberries)
Elon Musk has recently stated that they are going to make a big shift to LFP batteries[1]. On the Tesla's quarterly earnings call last week, he stated that iron based batteries will likely eventually be used for almost all battery applications due to the low cost. Iron is cheap and sourced all over the globe. He said airplanes and ships will probably have to still use Nickel and/or Cobalt (but corrected himself later saying only airplanes will probably need them).

> I hope everyone has noticed the shift in macOS to be something more like iOS. That’s good for most users, but not really for software engineers.

I've been saying this for a long time. I find it funny so many developers use and love macOS. You are clearly not the target audience and in fact, lots of decisions Apple makes go against making macOS a nice development environment.
> 1. We have more people without much disposable income

In absolute terms, or just on average? This may be the case simply because the US population went from 250 to 320 million people over that time, but household disposal income is up considerably as well.

An alternative answer may be that Dollar stores have very low franchise fees (~$50K, from one site I looked at) and low inventory costs. This, along with cheap commercial rent, makes it an attractive option for non-tech people who want to start a retail business but don't have a lot of money saved up.
This is as old as the medium.

Dickens was paid by the word. This is why "Tale of Two Cities" is a wonderful book with a gigantic pile of garbage in the middle.

(To be fair: The middle of "Tale of Two Cities" has some of my favorite scenes, but, boy, howdy, could it use an editor to chop out about 2/3 of it)
You can sell your car, get a horse, and travel around like it is the 19th century. Of course, nothing around you will be like the 19th century. Not that it isn't worth doing for other reasons, but moving your tech backwards doesn't move the world around you backwards.
> Did people feel the same way when the railroad and other forms of rapid transport showed up?

To some extend yes. When I was a kid, we'd rarely go to the only major city in our part of the country. Maybe two times a year. Now I live in that area, but I can easily go visit my parents for dinner, just because someone decided that a motorway was a great idea. It cut somewhere like 40 minutes to an hour of the drive.

It still boggles my mind that 30 years ago we considered it a day trip, but with a shorter distance, faster speeds, in a better car, it's just a quick drive, allowing my daughter to see her grandparents way more often than I saw mine.
fancy! i'll ask my friends on windows to test this
Yes and there are two types of panspermia.

The first type is incidental: we've already encountered meteorites from Mars and the Moon, for example, so it's not hard to imagine life bearing material arriving that way.

The second would be intentional: either ET seeds planets or merely visits them with contaminated boots or probes.

Either way, we would pick up some DNA from offworld.

The penny problem gap (The African Enterprise newsletter))
This always happens to me: When I first come across something, I may be interested. But that interest dwindles if and when I see the monetary commitment.

Once an action or a product costs money, we inherently think about it differently. An example is the paid newsletters I come across. When I first see them, I am interested in the content and the value; but when I see that it's paid, I subconsciously reassess the worth.

This is the penny problem gap. It's a term coined by Josh Kopelman to describe the gap between something being free and something having a price - no matter how cheap it is.
You've met me now. I don't have to work of course, 9 digits in the bank etc. etc., but I'm doing things based on mission and passion.

For example, what I did last month was https://remotes.irc.com/ all while continuing to run all the other companies of which I'm involved.

If you like what you do, it isn't work and you'll do whatever it takes to get things done, to the level of desperation.

I'm the real deal brother.
And that’s the real goal! Building more awesome product experiences. We’re working with e-learning companies, telehealth and other industries where it just isn’t scalable to provide a personal touch that engages the end user.

Starting a new game of the Witcher? Instead of personalized text the cut scene is Geralt talking to you directly :)

With sales though it can be hard to see how the chicken nuggets are made.
Totally agree. Burnt by youtube suggestions for kids as well. People creating content that seems like it is for kids so they can say horrific things to kids 2 minutes in. Absolute dumpster fire.
Yes I agree there is a problem of a lack of institutional funding in the Clojure world. Luminus is a great tool but it is a bit sad that it is arguably the most production-ready web toolkit in the ecosystem and it is mostly the work of a single person.

There is some community effort to better fund the core infrastructure in Clojure through https://www.clojuriststogether.org/, hopefully they can continue to attract more funding developers and companies.

In general a lot of these issues could be alleviated if the community was just in general larger with more contributors. I think the Clojure community is quite welcoming to newbies in the sense that people are quite responsive, kind and helpful around the internet, in Clojurians Slack (try asking there btw, if you haven't yet and are still stuck at the start of the book), etc. But in other ways people seem averse to criticism or suggestions from outsiders. I think the Clojure world needs to do a bit of self reflection to understand why adoption is so low right now and honestly consider what needs to change to attract more developers and contributors.
> Rather than discovering high brow arts

Some good old elitism from NYT. Worth mentioning that France has reduced prices to cultural expos for students, and there are plenty that are free! They can enjoy comic books AND art expos.
Agreed. I run macOS and Windows via Bootcamp and Windows 10 feels snappier than macOS most days. The same might not be said for a new laptop loaded down with junkware, mind.
I think the repair shops tend to have specialised tools for dealing with this. Things like suction cups to pull the screens off with.
The internet IS a PBS
I’m not sure why it would be any different.
Honestly, our biggest problem right now is moving quickly. In the next 6 months our biggest problem will be getting planning permission to stick large pipes into the sea to process large amounts of seawater ;) We don't discharge anything but seawater undersatured with CO2 so we're not negtaively impacting the surroundings. But government is slow with these things
> How does -b mean “create” in checkout? I get that it means “branch” but why is “branch” what I use to create a new one?

Because you can "checkout" other stuff too, not just branches.

> But consistency is more important so it’s better to keep consistency than “correctness” here imo.

Huh? I thought the whole point of these new commands was to try and fix the old illogical command line interface. Since one of the main problems -- probably the main problem -- is precisely the lack of consistency, the new ones logically just cannot be consistent with all the old ones, because then they would be just as inconsistent among themselves as the old ones. Something somewhere has to give. (And IMO this "-b" seems as good a candidate for the chop as any.)
Ice nine is real!
(To the tune of Back to Cali)
And the alliance countries you've listed are also suffering from those exact same problems (climate change, Covid lockdowns, capital flight, demographic crisis, deindustrialization, widespread unrest, a hopeless young generation). And debatably, some of them have much worse on some fronts than China.

I do think that every country in this world, whether it be the US, China, or my country, are experiencing the same effects from the current configuration of global capitalism (environmental destruction, extreme inequality, housing crisis, cutthroat job competition, long working hours, alienation, depression), and the only thing it's different is how state governments are responding to the crisis. Out of all the governments in the world, China seems ahead of some Western countries in a few aspects (as a one-party state being able to control and crack down on a lot of things and enable strict policies against over-financialization and deindustrialization). However, I still do think that China's strong state measures are only a stopgap measure for the more fundamental political and philosophical problems that the entire world has right now.

The whole idea seems pretty unlikely to me. The ratio of the length of the day versus the night has not changed, and I don't see any reasonable biological explanation for a process that is possible only when the days are long.

The most reasonable explanation is simply evolution. More efficient microbes will grow faster and will out-compete the others. But more efficient microbes will also produce more oxygen. So even with a short day length, they would have eventually produced the oxygen.
I have a lot of friends got FB offers and most of them spend between 3 months to 6 months to prepare for the interview. With that level of preparation, some of them have to sacrifice their responsibilities on their day job. It's tough. (you can read some stories from my blog).
FYI that article reads as very crank-y. Not saying they are wrong, but it's impenetrable reading to an uninformed neutral party. Too much emotional accusations and a huge cast of characters, but no clear explanation of what they are claiming.

But anyway, accusing an organization of having a pro-USA bias isn't a strong criticism against a domestic USA project.
