yarn 2 solved real problems with zero install and advanced PnP. Maybe the only problem was that it was released too early, wasn't mature enough when it came out. Now it's just better than v1 and npm, works particularly well on large mono repos where upgrading a package can often break other modules due to how node_modules hoisting works.
My oldest bank account has a website that used to be very accessible, fast, and widely used, with several 3rd party parsing libraries on GitHub that would, e.g. scrape the whole lot and put it in a CSV for you.

They then "modernised" it. The whole thing is a JavaScript nightmare, with only one static page, over-ridden OS shortcuts and a very confused browser autocomplete -- oh, and a ton of tracking tags. A grease monkey script and uBlock bring it back to useable, but I'm still silently shopping for new banks entirely because of how utterly ridiculous and user hostile it is.
Here’s an anecdote from a job I had in Atlanta at an inside sales for Microsoft job: It was an awful, horrible place to work, with major churn and deception, but management never understood why we complained, after-all, we got free snacks, soda, and Chik Fil A on Wednesday’s…

I think the idea here is that people who are designers first are much less likely to make these beginner mistakes - but someone who's primarily a dev and putting together a simple web page or whatever might not realize they're make mistakes with the basics.
The ocean is filled with these bottles and microplastics. People who bother to put bottles in a recycle bin are pretty well off and don't drink coca-cola, and those who drink it throw these bottles anywhere they feel like.
I couldn't agree more. As far as I am concerned this problem remains completely unsolved. I've had very bad experiences with Angi, HomeAdvisor (which now looks to be owned by Angi), Yelp and NextDoor recommendations. Finding good contractors is so hard I've changed to doing as much work myself as I possibly can.

For whatever reason, this feature is not actively promoted in Firefox (or Chrome). If you add a bookmark in Firefox, one of the fields that shows up is "Tags" which is sort of uninteresting. Then you have to go into your Bookmarks toolbar and find the bookmark you added to get to keywords so you can add a shortcut (my Wikipedia shortcut is just `w`). Then of course switch your search term with %s if you have a search shortcut vs just a shortcut to a particular page.

Chrome has an even more complicated way to hide this, although I don't regularly use it so I don't remember what the process was.

You know he is full of it because tech jobs salary is wide spectrum, if he wants to pay low price and his work is simple enough he can pick a outsourcing company which will give him the lowest price for that work.

What this clown is complaining is he wants complex work done at low price while wanting his company to get to PE 15-30x so they can get out of it as millionaires/billionaires.
In your vernacular, this too is a cop out : One is that animals and plants suffer in order for others to survive. For the most part, a balance is achieved. Animals and plants take what they need in order to survive, and there's no other way for them to survive.

It is absolutely true that animals do what they do without regard to the consequences of their actions. The western pine beetle doesn't think twice about killing a pine tree that would have lived another hundred years when it uses it to feed its brood. A beaver doesn't poll the prairie dogs that have lived in the meadow for 5 generations before destroying their habit by flooding it.

If I understand your argument correctly, it is applying morality to the question, not whether or not something is "natural." And that is absolutely a fair way to go about it. One can argue that it is immoral for humans to do the things they do. That is separate from the question of whether or not it is in their nature to do those things.

This statement, "We don't need all the destruction we cause to survive.", is also a problem since if we immediately restored all of the habitat we "destroyed" to convert it to agriculture then there would be a lot of "not surviving" going on.

That we should be good stewards of the planet is something that I think we agree.

My original comment here is that we have to consider human's impact on that planet to be just as 'natural' as the impact of non-human forces on the planet. And it helps in the debate to understand how much of our nature we, as individuals, can influence. Humans are inherently tribal/social animals and as such we are strongly influenced by the "norms" of behavior around us. A really good recent example of this is masking. In an area ambivalent about masking, masking behavior reflects what others are doing. A lot of people wearing masks? More likely to wear a mask. Few masks in sight? People less likely to wear a mask.

Because of this effect, we can (and I think should) influence others to good behavior by exhibiting good behavior. And in the original article this was called out as buildings that increased wildlife diversity over buildings that did not provide habitat. That is both a good and 'moral' thing to do.

To bring the conversation full circle, the original comment to which I responded included this: "Have less buildings. Leave more undeveloped land. Reintroduce predators. Remove invasive species. Allow nature to take over (it will)."

We do that by creating park areas. Not by tearing down existing facilities[1]. The philosophy that we could "fix" things by removing human change is unrealistic given human nature.

[1] Yes we remediate things like mines to revert them back to their state prior to mining but it is rare that a former city will be remediated back to nature. See Detroit as an an example of an opportunity to do so which was not pursued.
I fixed a single bug that recovered amount (in todays terms ) in my mid 20's.

Neither I or the company secretary I worked with to ever got a word of thanks.
Amen to that. Restoration of the gut microbiome is key to life-long health, starting with infancy, where colonization by the "right" beneficial bacteria is really important.

Infact, milk does a remarkable job with that. One example: diverse group of complex oligosaccharides present in milk and reaching the colon intact serve as food for the beneficial bacteria, allowing them to dominate the infant gut and present a wide array of benefits.
Sounds interesting. If I'm understanding this correctly, these peptides target a wide range of 'bad' pathogens. Does that include things other than bacteria?

What benefits do these peptides have over other emerging therapies, such as phages?

The competing unix manufacturers didn't need Itanium as an excuse to fold; they were completely non-competitive by the time the itanium came around. Customers didn't purchase a unix system because of the performance of the proprietary architecture but the entire ecosystem provided by manufacturers. DEC and its Alpha was on life support even though it was marginally more competitive against x86 precisely for this reason.

The manufacturers that intended to switch to Itanium were either part of HP (compaq & dec) and would have thrown in the towel otherwise or were desperate to remain relevant (SGI). They could never had tried to compete itanium or no itanium. Itanium actually made no impact on the strongest competitors, SPARC and POWER.

Not only did Intel lose billions on Itanium but it tied up development resources that couldn't be used against AMD and influenced the decision not to compete in the mobile space.
I stopped listening to anything from quanta magazine after this video:

https://youtu.be/HL7DEkXV_60

Where they claim that that a "landmark proof" and one of the greatest accomplishments in computer science of 2020 solved THE HALTING PROBLEM using "a quantum AI supercomputer."

I looked up the proof and that's not even remotely what the authors paper seems to be talking about...

Not to mention you'd both win the Turing award and have it renamed after you if you solved the halting problem.

So I guess my question is: Is quanta magazine reputable or just more science clickbait? I'm curious what the hacker News audience thinks since I am definitely not a quantum physicist.

There are also those of us who bill out engineering talent hourly who are more than happy to help drive up salaries across the board as it increases the hourly rates my clients will pay. I can absorb the salary increase simply by raising the price, and my clients will pay it because their HR couldn’t hire engineering talent even when it was available.

educated about the importance of some things;

Information is pretty easily available, especially as it pertains to things like the "don't feed the animals" sign in the GGP post, and it's not unreasonable to expect people to seek out an explanation (e.g. park staff) rather than just ignore the rule. The problem often comes down to people-- at all stations of society-- believing they shouldn't have to follow certain rules all of the time. People know that going 20mph/30kmh over the speed limit is more dangerous for themselves and others, but lots of people still do it. On more complex topics, explanation are available. But most people want simple answers, and complex issues don't have them. So when they disagree with something but don't have the full explanation to understand and determine things for themselves, they will listen a person who gives easy answers. And they'll tend to listen to whichever person gives an easy answer they already agree with. 99% of political rhetoric is about giving easy answers to complex problems, most of which would have been solved long ago if there was an obvious easy answer instead of countless details and edge cases and other factors to consider.

I don't know how you solve this problem. Human nature means most people don't spend a ton of time trying to understand all aspects of a problem that may only vaguely impact them personally. I don't expect anyone but a very small minority will study geopolitical history & current circumstance enough to have a well-informed opinion on something like whether the US should stay in, or withdraw, from a missile treaty. There's countless other examples of that sort too.

involved in the decision-make process

I'm not sure how you get around the lawmakers problem. Everyone can't weigh in individually on decisions made in a massively complex society. Being involved in the decision-making process means voting for people to handle those things. Are there other models of citizen involvement that better limit the impact of corrupt/biases/stupid lawmakers?
As Feynman put it,

> Single family house you'd want to live in, clearly "no". It's almost always a bad investment decision.

Is this still true, though? Asset management companies - most famously Blackrock - are now pouring billions into acquiring exactly that: single family homes. And with prices growing in the double digit percentages every year across North America, it seems almost guaranteed in every metropolitan area.

I can be convinced otherwise, but I'm worried we are returning to a time of renters and land-owners, and I'm not sure I want to be a renter for the rest of my life.

Totally agree with this, the effort to retard development could have been better spent with a myriad of ecosystem destroying actions or geopolitical manipulations. Also just send the indestructible probe to kill every human...

My bigger problem with this book was that the author seems to wholely confuse secrecy for strategy. The entire conceit behind the wallfacers seemed ridiculous to me. The best strategic plan need not be secret (eg MAD). Make it clear that humanity will destroy every planet in the solar system and you've got at least MAD in the centuries the trisolarians will take to arrive.

Well, there's a silver lining (pun intended), which is that the silver medal is made out of pure silver and is therefore worth much more than the bronze medal.

The gold medal is made of solid silver that is plated by a small amount (4oz, IIRC) of gold. EDIT: 6 grams, not 4oz, as pointed out below.

> It's hard to believe that show was so controversial.

I guess you don't know about the kids who set their houses on fire (allegedly) because Beavis was burning stuff and saying "Fire!, Fire!" on air, or the accompanying congressional hearings on the state of the media. The show was on at 7pm when it first came out I think; after that shit it went to a 11pm "adult-only" show with lots of disclaimers about how you shouldn't do what the characters do. No more fire references, no huffing glue, etc. MTV was seriously worried they'd lose their license I think.
I genuinely don't understand concern about workers being paid too much. I get that a particular company may not be possible with the current compensation standards and that's frustrating, but if you are in the position of having raised hundreds of millions on a particular business plan then you're in a position to possibly make money in the current compensation environment. Like, you can always start a fast food franchise if you want reliable profit off low-wage workers?

If your business can make money, it seems like it would be great to pay everyone as much as possible while still making money. Like, the best way to keep a good thing going to to keep everyone happy (including investors so ofc save some of the pie for them). It just seems like, if you want to keep doing the thing you built the business to do, you wanna minimize risk on the important parts and working hard to pay your knowledge workers less seems like it would undermine that?

I guess it's also a classic observation that capitalists are all about "everyone wins under capitalism" until they see a way for someone else to win less.
> 2. Context switches are crazy expensive,

They're not that expensive; something like 1000 cycles. When you factor in all the atomic operations, which take 10-25x more cycles than normal operations, required to post and pull from shared memory queues, you're not actually saving much at all.

The value in io_uring, much like Windows IOCP, will end up being that it provides a single API that everybody targets. io_uring will displace libraries like libuv. No userland project can compete with a blessed kernel interface.

What performance improvements io_uring does provide are irrelevant to the vast majority of people excited about it, people using Python and Node.js and who generally leave orders of magnitude more performance potential on the table.
One nuanced clarification: OJ didn't pick the title of the book. His murdered wife's family sued him claiming that the outcome of the civil lawsuit he previously lost prevents him from profiting from the case, won, and took over release of the book.

They get all the profits of the book, and crucially they chose the book cover and the font selection.

OJ as far as I know never bragged about getting away with murder, though I will grant the book concept is incredibly poor taste even if he was innocent.

Supportive housing reduces even extremely high risk, chronically homeless people's dependence on emergency services[1]. Your characterization of addicts as people inherently prone to crime and destruction and your continued hyperbole about "throwing as many resources as we want" is not grounded in reality. You are carrying a line of thinking "the streets (or prison) remains the end game" that closes off any opportunity for us to actually address the root causes of these problems. Of course interventions will not work in every individual case. What is at issue here is that we live in a system (market-based housing) that is structurally dependent on the existence of homelessness for growing profit.

Suggestion: title should be renamed to "Protocol Oriented Programming and Testing in Swift".

"Swift Protocol" is something else entirely https://docs.openstack.org/swift/latest/
This sort of thing is a common pattern in Go, where it is accomplished by the fact that Go interfaces do not require types to opt into them by declaring their adoption. If a type conforms to the interface it's a type of the interface.

So one can create a new interface type that supports the specific subset of functionality you need from a larger type that you don't control and use it in a similar way to Swift protocols.

We also remained on Yarn 1 because developing packages using the workspaces feature is really nice.

We did make an attempt at moving to Yarn 2, it did not work out well. At that time (probably 12 months ago or more) lots of upstream packages had broken package.json files, we never managed to fix them all. Lots of things with React were a bit screwy too!

Zuckerberg is, and was, especially after the movie came out, much more famous than Weinstein, and the portrayals in question are different. One is unflattering, the other is attempting to cover a felony.

When there's an unflattering depiction out there of you, bringing more attention to it might be counterproductive, depending on how bad it is.

If you're worried about going to prison, all of a sudden how unflattering you're seen likely becomes secondary to that.
