> in my experience it is usually tied to some kind of predicted loss of love and connection

This seems like a creative explanation that probably makes an article such as this seem a bit more quirky and interesting or something. Otherwise it's not a bad piece, but I don't think potential loss of love or connection is necessary to explain not wanting to do some difficult/annoying/time consuming task.
They may or may not have been deliberately designed as apophenia targets. That is in any case what they are.
More subtly a smaller but far more interested proportion of the population tries more experimental things and the big shops just copy that. That's both cheaper for the buyer and the producer.

It's the same for tech, various gadgets or technologies that are hyped right now have been gathering traction since years but have been picked up by the big brands only very recently. Best example is the trend of using non-x86 Computers, a few desktop/laptop projects have been there including Chrome books. Now Apple picked it up and it's a completely normal thing to buy an ARM laptop.

Looks kind of planned but it's not. It's just that some things fall out of fashion for whatever reasons...

Is sublime doing the merge instead of git? Or are you referring to use sublime as the merge tool to resolve conflicts?
Kind of tangential but China recently made sweeping changes and essentially outlawed private education. (it was more focused and nuanced than that, sure)

When push comes to shove I wonder whether people who are anti public-schools would welcome this style of government - in a country where people are free to do what they want, people will spend a huge amount of money for their children to get advantage/opportunity.

How do you negate this? Should you negate this?
> Most Git GUIs map fairly closely to the underlying git model.

Maybe, but most Git GUIs don't provide clear error messages. This is the case of VSCode, which my teamates keep using. When you use Git CLI you can just have the original error message and know what's wrong.

I was also burned by sourcetree some years ago where it lost part of my code while doing a merge I didn't even understand.

I am not a Git expert. But I can remember the 5 commands needed to do my job every day: `commit`, `push`, `pull`, `rebase`, `checkout`. (you can also add `add` and `status` to the list if you want)

They're straighforward, except for `checkout` which is adressed by `switch` for the main usage.

If you use it wrong, Git CLI will tell you in most of the cases, and even tell you how to do what you intented to do. Git GUIs will probably tell you something wrong happened and left you at that or try to be more intelligent than you are and do something wrong.

> Isn't that just being incredibly lazy.

-> this is what I'd answer to do those Git GUIs.

> Isn't that just being incredibly lazy.

-> this is what I'd say to people who won't write these 5 commands on a sticky note or something and keep it for a month before realizing it wasn't hard to remember once you _commit_ to it and that Git is not hard, minus exceptional problems but Git GUIs absolutely won't help you with these exceptional problems.
Each TLD gets to set its own rules for name registration under that TLD. In particular they all have punycode policies. For example a country which uses a Latin alphabet with a handful of extra characters might requires names under its ccTLD to be from that alphabet, and not, for example, Cyrillic. Or a TLD operated on behalf of a region dominated by one writing system might require names to use that writing system. The attention of TLD registry operators was drawn to the need to prevent the exact types of fraud we're seeing here.

The .com TLD registry's priority is profit at any cost. A crook's money is just as good as anybody else's, right?

This license is typically laughed at by corporate legal departments.

We've had countless software license audits and any sign of WTFPL is always a red flag in the audits' reports.

CC0, on the other hand, passes with flying colors.

To be honest, I don't know why WTFPL fails, whether by its scarcity or tone. I'd love someone to share a knowledgeable hint on this.

Other countries handled pandemic aid entirely differently; I even linked to an article highlighting specific cases in the comment you replied to.

"It went up in the US, and not elsewhere" is a good sign the US's recent spikes had nothing to do with lead, in either direction.
> First of all, using "noob" like that is offensive. Everyone's a "noob" at some point. And if that's how you talk and treat people, I probably wouldn't want your help.

Unfortunately, a word needs to exist that stands in for this:

"Person, who isn't so different than myself when I started, with little experience who is mistake prone due to the lack of experience, who's mistakes creates disruption and often great expense at the most inconvenient times."

Being offended by noob just makes communication more difficult, and does not really change anything. We've had all kinds of much more offensive names for the same thing (many other names imply race, social status and so on). noob seems to be about as offensive as rookie, but one syllable less.
This doesn't detract from your main point, but there is a third alternative to fixing a purpose-made pencil sharpener vs buying a new one - use a knife.

My second book is all about how to code solutions as simply as possible: https://leanpub.com/info-ops2

As for this particular exercise from the book, I think I did a video on YT. It probably isn't around, though. As a tech coach, I've had programming, management, and consulting experience in this kind of work from solo developer up to 150-person programs. So there's a lot to cover in a stand-alone piece, at least three in-depth topics. (For instance, I'm willing to bet a lot of other consultants with similar experience would say this result wasn't possible. This is what made the exercise so worthwhile; our intuition about the complexity required and the actual complexity involved in solving problems is commonly off by at least a couple orders of magnitude.)
For the Instant Ink cartridges, I expect they test and do one or the other as needed. Too, the cartridge knows how many cycles it's run, so probably there's a threshold below which the policy is to just refill and ship, and then apologetically replace in case of customer complaint.

That's how I'd do it, anyway, I think - assuming at least that my analysis of the unit economics is not off base. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone in the industry to ask. Wirecutter's writers could probably find someone, which is why I wish they'd cotton on to it, but I don't wish that hard enough to go to the trouble of emailing them about it.
SourceTree doesn’t give up. It tells you that you have conflicts to resolve. Once you do, “continue rebase” does what it says, either until the rebase completes or until it hits another conflict.
In general it’s called “dead code elimination.” [1] It’s been around for a long time. A linker can do a basic version of this, but advanced optimizations require whole-program optimization and it’s not typically done since it affects compile time and binary size isn’t as important as it is for web browsers.

GWT was doing tree shaking for Java to JavaScript compilation before most JavaScript programmers had the tool chain for it.

Didn’t bother to read the article. This is a pretty obvious statistic.
In Catholicism and some Protestant traditions, you will enter into a state of Purgatory, (or purgatory-like phase) after death where you are cleansed of sins. This could potentially take a while.

This should be written in the devil contract, like how long do I need to stay in purgatory...
Except the wikipedia article itself is pretty much one the single most biased accounts of the Event.
About 10 years ago I was in Vegas at the Riviera (now demolished). At the time it was on the cheap end of the strip and tried to attract customers by offering very attractive odds on games. They had a blackjack table that was single-deck, and they would deal pretty deep before shuffling. Those are ideal conditions for an amateur card counter like myself.

But the real kicker was, they had a side game that paid out extra bonuses for blackjacks. Blackjack paid like 5-1 on the side bet, suited AK BJ paid like 20-1, etc. I'm forgetting the exact payouts.

That night I built a simple spreadsheet to analyze the game, and calculate the effect on expected value of removing a card from the deck. I discovered that if they dealt 8 cards without an ace, the side bet became profitable. If they dealt two hands without an ace, it became wildly +EV.

I cleaned up the next morning. Really surprisingly, they never cut me off, even though the dealer made some snide remarks about card counting and I didn't make much effort to hide my strategy.
One thing about a licence is that you can and should include a NO WARRANTY clause. This can shield you from nuisance lawsuits.
Every IDE I know shows you a log of the raw commands its running. I use the IDE first, then if something goes wrong (which very very rarely happens, git isn't exactly complicated) I check the log and see what it's trying to do.
I work in finance. About 5 years ago I started building a FIX library on my spare time, out of curiosity. Over the years it has been countless fin tech start-ups as well as big companies reaching out to me about the library, suggesting fixes and features. Since then I have long lost the interest in the technology which enables connectivity to financial exchanges to automate trades, but I keep working on the library for the benefit of others and just the joy of creating something. But what’s the actual impact? Enabling companies getting richer? Greed?

These features were introduced in 2019 (and have been featured in git's help texts since).

Serious question - Why is it that they're called new two years later? Is it that no one cares to read git's prompts or release notes?
I had the same experience in Spain... we were doing some climbing around Costa Blanca and parked/walked along a few random stretches of highway and they are all covered in trash thrown from cars. That was really surprising, I had a stereotype of EU being more civic-minded/civilized than the USA, and there isn't much litter on US highways that I've seen in similar remote-ish areas.

I just don't even understand what process operates in a head of someone tossing an empty bottle out of a car... sometimes, I feel like I have trouble recognizing them as a fully-formed human, more like someone who needs house-training, like a dog.
This is exactly what they need for the Black Sea and the Mediterranean.

The US government doesn't incentivize companies in this way.

Mostly the US government creates incentives related to:

- Economic policy
- Environmental policy
- Public Health

Economic sanctions aren't done to incentivize companies. They are done to impose political will and they are usually done on countries that have little business influence.

Generally, International Politics are never are a part of "incentives." For international politics you and I are the incentive.

If you refuse to buy a product because the company doesn't align with your viewpoint of international politics, then you have created an incentive.

> Your read is much more benign.

I think I wanted to see more in this article. I think the idea of acknowledging this part of us and seeing it as a positive force is not conveyed clearly enough, but it's there.

> ‘You aren’t lazy, you just haven’t done the necessary prep and planning to make the thing you want to do feel straightforward’ might be just as useful advice.

Yes. This would be a subset of "it's too difficult (emotionally, organizationally, in terms of ability/skill) for me to do all this stuff the way I never did before" - emotions of discomfort arise (said 'Resistance') and boom, you are back to square one (edit: ...of not doing things).

I've got ADHD and this.

I couldn't be happier this came across the HN feed today, because it seems to accurately answer so many questions I've had about my performance on personal projects recently.

I spent months working on the next version of https://vo.codes, and I've only got about five hours of frontend work to do before launching it. I've sit on it for a month now.

What I think is happening is that I'm worried about my next project in virtual production (which I'm picking back up). I'm worried I've fallen too far behind, that the incumbent powers have already won and that I'll be wasting my energy. But I still think I have tremendous value to add, and that there is a discernable path to success, and that I'm holding myself back by worrying about vo.codes. It's caused a sort of deadlock.

This has helped me make sense of it and approach it a new way. Hopefully it's the nudge I needed to unblock myself.

Anxiety, ADHD, internal resistance. I shouldn't blame myself so much.
> My job isn’t to use git, it’s to write specialist software. If I get the software written and the customer is happy, it doesn’t matter whether I use <ide> or not. Imagine having 100 complex things bouncing around your head and having to make that 101 when you forget the order of arguments to merge.

Imagine if you knew a cabinet builder who said:

"My job isn't to use a table saw, it's to build beautiful cabinets. If I get the cabinets built and the customer is happy, it doesn't matter whether I use a japanese handsaw or a CNC controlled laser. Imagine having 100 different pieces bouncing around around in your and having to then remember the assembly order."

Now, you might argue that this supports your point, by claiming that it actually doesn't matter whether the carpenter uses a japanese handsaw, table saw or CNC laser cutter. But I'd argue the opposite: it does matter whether the carpenter knows the tools they use as well as possible, because this will affect both the quality & speed of their work, but also the range of possibilities they can even consider. It doesn't matter much which tool they use, as long as they know it intimately and in depth.

I would argue that the same is true of the tools we use as software developers. Pretending that all of the skill lies only in the domain of creating actual lines of code is misleading. If you're using a revision control system, you owe it to yourself, your customers and your colleagues (if any) to be a master of that in the same way that you're a master of the specialist software you're creating.
Look around, it's already here...
Glad you liked It.
If you haven't seen there is a really nice documentary called "The Rise of the Synths".

Those numbers sound big until you realise the overwhelming majority of that personnel are conscripts who will be very inexperienced and in all likelihood don't actually want to be there - from the wikipedia page you were on:

> in 2010 the Turkish Armed Forces had an active strength of around 402,000 active personnel, consisting of 77,000 professionals and 325,000 conscripts

Don't get me wrong, I'd be delighted if the roles were reversed and it was instead Turkey who had the 5th biggest military expenditures in the world and the UK were around 20th - there's far more productive things we could be spending our money on.

Longer work weeks we’re mostly confined to Industrial Age city populations that didn’t have access to land to farm. Few laborers working in early industrial mills was doing so because it was easier then farming.

I definitely see procrastination linked to emotional processing issues for me. Maybe it's possible that there are things which provide immediate benefits, but for me many things I tried evaporated and I was still left with this base note, so to speak, of myself. I went to therapy, I went to 12 step meetings, I read books, I journalled, I talked the hell out of my thoughts and feelings with certain friends, got divorced, took medication, found another amazing woman to marry, all along the way there was progress and regress, blind spots, lots of blind spots, lots of denial and resistance and fighting and turmoil and avoidance. The "answers" for me so far are absolutely nothing that haven't been said a thousand times in every place, but having met them myself in my own way at my own time. I'm not sure I could have gone any faster than I did, and I'm ok with that (now, at least).
That's the ideal conception of it, but practically, power also plays a very large role. Firms don't get to "try things" without lots of resources already, any novel startups may simply be acquired and assimilated or even shut down, large existing organizations are capable of sustaining failures despite market conditions, extra-market rules may be implemented by firms with political access, and if enough of the supply enforces a choice, consumer interest doesn't matter and may even adapt to what is available.
Also, "soldiers are enforcing their covid curfew" is not an accurate characterisation of what's going on here. (I'm not in Sydney where the major outbreaks/restrictions are happening now but I'm in Melbourne where they were last year, and the military involvement then was the same).

For a start, there's no "curfew". There is a stay-at-home order, but people are still allowed go out where necessary for shopping, exercise, education and work. The main restriction is on visiting other people's homes.

Military personnel have been deployed to provide logistical support and additional bodies to help police, medical and welfare services. They're helping set up and staff covid testing facilities, and doing checks on infected people quarantining, both for compliance and welfare. And yep there's also some walking around the streets with police, but there's basically no hostile engagement with citizens or anything remotely like martial law. Mostly it's polite reminders to people of what they need to do - i.e., just wear masks and avoid gathering in big groups.

Most people are accepting of it as Australians are not accustomed to or comfortable with a serious disease just tearing through the community causing significant numbers of deaths, so they're accepting of measures to prevent that from happening.

> No doubt any video about a lab source of Covid would have been banned too.

Nothing remotely like this has happened. I've watched plenty of videos about this, as well as many about vaccine concerns, ivermectin, etc. Australia isn't restricting any content like this at all.

A no warranty clause isn't going to protect you from a nuisance shakedown. Slapping no warranty onto something doesn't stop someone from bringing a frivolous lawsuit against you, it jsut makes it easier to defend. If it's a frivolous lawsuit then it won't hold out in court anyway, but by that point you've already had to defend yourself against it, which is where all the hassle is.
