>What about her misery? That will be permanent. Did that ever occur to you?

I guess she didn't think of my misery every time she gets in her car and drives somewhere unnecessary like a restaurant or gym to enjoy her life. Why would she engage in such risky behavior? Should I report her to CPS for child endangerment every time the child is taken somewhere in a vehicle for enjoyment (such as the park), exposing them to danger of horrible death by car accident? Could it be that we have a consensual agreement that we allow each other to engage in risky behavior as an understanding that we do not find life worth living without taking even unnecessary risks? Did I mention she rides the motorcycle too, also without a seatbelt?

> Does waiting at red lights and following traffic signals infringe your freedom to get from point A to point B faster?

Yes often it does. If it is 2am and no one is on the road I might run a red light rather than wait. Maybe you wouldn't. You may want to alert my local attorney general so I may be taken into custody promptly.

>I believe i am entitled by the government to a right to travel to point A to point B without legitimately fearing for my life on a daily basis.

That's a nice belief but you have no right to not fear for your life. If you don't fear for your life every time you drive, you must not live in any major US city. I fear for my life daily here, but no one forced me to get on the road so the risk is voluntary. Everyone else will not stop driving just because it makes you scared.

>"Well some accidents happen so that means that traffic lights and road signs are completely useless. It's just the government infringing on my ability to hit an accelerator whenever i damn well please." Give me a break. You are narrow headed, selfish, foolish, and wrong.

That's an excellent straw man.

I design radar detectors and devices for detecting the evil guys doing traffic enforcement for a living. My job is literally to make sure people don't have to deal with the consequences of silly traffic laws. My life's work is channeling my hate of traffic control into devices that prevent new victims of the state. It feeds myself and my family. So yes I do not believe in people being punished for victimless crimes like speeding or running a light without property damage or physical harm.

>According to your infallible view of the rules and regulations of society we should just have four way free-for-alls and accept the risks of piloting tons of steel at unregulated speeds hurling towards each other and accept the inevitable consequences of mass death on a daily basis.

I have lived/travelled in 3rd world countries with almost no traffic enforcement such as Philippines, Syria, and Paraguay. It is probably dangerous, but somehow people survived. I road the taxis and motorcycles there and actually loved it. It is possible to drive in a way that reduces your risk even without traffic control devices. Believe it or not even in these countries people do not view driving as particularly risky part of their life and when I have questioned these 3rd world taxi drivers about their occupation they have not been nearly as worried as you are.
I'm not denying the pricing, I'm saying the pricing is wrong. It's a huge failure of perverse subsidization.
It is quite evident who is narrow headed and wrong in this discussion.
Luckily piracy has been kept alive by a lot of Third World Countries. Ask any Indian college student; they might not have graduated, but they sure as fuck know how to pirate the newest Marvel movie.

Interestingly, this is also changing - streaming services are offering plans at dirt cheap prices because they're essentially trying to compete with piracy. That's slowly caused a decrease in piracy, and prices have slowly started to go back up in India too.
This is a bad move for Netflix. They have always been lacking high quality first party content, and the cracks are beginning to show with the recent drop in subscribers that led to a drop in stock price. Consumers have more choice than ever, and anecdotally, I am noticing that the pandemic has reset the leisure habits of many people I know away from digital entertainment. This is an unnecessarily user hostile move that gives people one more reason to cancel their subscription.

There are some big challenges, here. One is IME, which requires storing intermediate state and information on the editing session, and communicating that with the platform; another is accessibility, which requires keeping a tree of elements that the user can currently navigate to, and which may include elements which are not currently on screen.

So yes, maybe okay for games, but I’m unconvinced about imgui for GUI applications of the sort described in this post.
I think "The government doesn't like us saying this" headlines would have the same effect despite the precise difference in definition here.
This may be how Temporal works, but I imagine the way you ask "is there a corresponding event in the event history" is that you tag every "derived event" in the system with a hash of both the state and code used to create it? So if you change the code, you (eventually?) invalidate all events derived from it?

This of course would be incredibly reliant on the code not being able to access anything except the state, and have no side effects - so if you want to say "if X, fetch Y" you need to have something looking at derived state from the "if X" part and putting the results of "fetch Y" into the event stream, thus causing the state relevant to the code to change, and invalidating the need for something to "fetch Y" a second time? There's something incredibly clean and enticing about this, but also incredibly scary to implement correctly at scale!

Ah I see – apologies, I read your comment too quickly.

Something I miss with remote development is being able to use graphical Git clients like Sublime Merge on my working directory. I don’t want to setup SSHFS just to make that work, and I’m sure performance wouldn’t be great anyway.
It's not obsolete because as a content producer the global players are not always willing to pay top dollar for your content. In many cases you can get more money by selling to multiple local players with single language, geo-restricted distribution rights. And this is the tip of the iceberg because you also have different types of rights for theatrical vs streaming distribution, and your strategy could interleave them in multiple non-intuitive ways.
Yep, long time 1password user and recommender. None of this bothers me.
> It amazes me how few services ever take into consideration that people don't always live and work in their country of origin.

It's a niche requirement. Commercial services aren't built for niche requirements because it's not worth it. Shouldn't be amazing.
It’s called “grooming”. When someone holds an influential spot in your life, you can develop complex feelings for that person, which can be hard to distinguish from romantic feelings. The fewer healthy adult relationships you’ve had, due to age or circumstance, the harder it can be to sort out these feelings. Which is why therapists cannot date patients, teachers date students, and it’s frowned upon for teachers to date former students.

Just because you fixed my life doesn’t mean we should bone. As the person with power in the dynamic the responsibility is on you to remember this.

When you mentor someone who has no life experience or especially attachment issues you are consciously or unconsciously dealing with a power dynamic. If you try to turn that romantic, or even if you just let it happen, you are exploiting that dynamic. That is why people who do that are called predators, even if they follow the letter of the law.
I think that's too complex. Any frequently used gesture which involves both keyboard and mouse can get quite annoying.

I'm not sure that I agree.

> An investment is when a resource is expended in order to gain profitable returns, as interest, income, or appreciation in value. Being able to spend your free time over the next year playing video games is not a profit.

I'm paid for my time, and my unpaid time is incredibly valuable. Anything that increases the value of my paid time has an obvious investment gain, by the author's metric, but so does that for my unpaid time.

If a purchase that I make increases the value of that unpaid time, then doesn't that constitute some form of return? Certainly, I cannot _sell_ that value, but it has served as a multiplier of value that isn't normally fungible: my happiness.

> So their ROI is their happiness. So now anytime you spend money on absolutely anything it’s an investment. Which renders the word “investment” completely indistinguishable from the word “purchase”.

Er, no, not at all. There are _definitely_ purchases that I must make that do not appreciably increase my happiness. Some service other needs that do not directly increase or decrease my happiness, while other purchases are necessary but misery-making.
I want to note, the headline keeps changing:

From "Germany arrests British citizen on suspicion of espionage" to "British diplomat suspected of spying for Russia" to "British embassy worker" to just "British national"

https://www.google.com/search?q="Germany+arrests+British+dip...

Currently the full headline is "Briton suspected of spying for Russia arrested in Germany"

I guess the damage control is in full swing on the British side

Are Mac App Store actually useful?

I don't recall using it (maybe once?), and I burnt through 3 macs over the past 5 years.

Things are either installed via brew or steam, or even git and make.

But then again my interface of choice is terminal and editor of choice is vim, so maybe a far outlier.

Back to your experience, go steam alone, the thought of even downloading regular software in the 'App Store' don't even cross my mind, let alone games.
Interesting, thanks for the info! That makes me much more interested in this feature
> TLDR: The air gets cooler but still can't cool you.

Evaporative cooling is not the only kind of cooling that exists.

If this were the case you’d die of heat death standing in the middle of 100% humidity antarctica.

If your cellar is cold enough you’ll be in a much better situation than before. You seem to assume that the moment you open your cellar door, all humidity and temperature will immediately equalize with the outside.
> superior grit and intellect (and, of course, even having those traits at all is still just luck).

I don't think this is true. Sure, it's trivially true that we don't earn the traits we're born with in any way. But it should be equally obvious that people can and do cultivate these same traits deliberately throughout life. People cultivate grit (i.e., discipline, persistence, courage, etc), and everyone has to fulfill whatever innate intellect they were given with knowledge and experience, which don't come for free.

There's certainly a lot of luck involved all along the way, but labelling it all "just luck" is a pretty broad stroke is it not?

> You're not better than them and neither am I.

"Better" is a heavily loaded term. I suspect you're angling for a "worthy of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" sort of meaning, which is dangerously close to a strawman. But if "better" is given a more specific and practical "better steward of their resources" meaning, then I assure you there are lots people better than me.
> In the past decade or so I’ve noticed more and more people referring to their discretionary consumer purchases as “investments”. “I decided to invest in a new couch.” “My newest investment is an xbox one.” “I thought it would be wise to invest in a new shower curtain.”

This experience really really sucks in the world of "blockchain", because often the lines get blurred and people feel like they are very very literally investing (in money, not just time or attention or interest or whatever) in products they are using: to use the product at all you often own some amount of a utility token... whose value will go up if more people like you use the product (maybe even faster enough that you make money on your holding faster than you spend it on your utility usage, which is ridiculous)... and so the incentives on forums and reviews get skewed in ways that mere paid placements could only dream about.

> If you’ve thought through a purchase and decided you want something then good for you. Go get it. But don’t lie to yourself by calling it an investment.

And so it arguably isn't lying anymore, and everyone is now weirdly incentivized to lie about how much they like using the product or trade around misinformation about how much better the product is than competing products, as it no longer is about helping other people find the best product--or even getting everyone onboard with a network effect on a platform which you've invested your time in (which definitely happens: you do "invest" in sites like YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, even as a pretty normal user)--but you actually kind of by definition of how it is set up often stand to make or lose money based on other peoples' perception :(.
The GPS can easily wobble by 50ns back and forth as the constellation changes. That's a lot! And, it is not random on a short time scale.

Folks often think "Oh, +/- 50ns, 20ns RMS, easy to filter...", but that's totally wrong.

The GPS will report -30ns from stable for minutes on end, then slew to +10ns, then -5ns, etc. Any high-precision oscillator (such as for radar) that's being jerked around like that isn't going to be as stable as high performance needs.

Even for just handoff of handsets at 2.2-2.3GHz, having the radio network (aka cell towers) all locked to an oven-controlled oscillator that was aligned-to, but far smoother-than, GPS, made a huge difference.

Now, improvements to GPS/GNSS that track 12 satellites instead of 6, and across multiple constellations, can result in more stable radio-based time. But then you get into urban canyons, and can only see 5 instead of 12, and you're right back into the jumpy situation.
Noooooooooooooo. I just updated and ran into this as well. It is still possible to enable the compact mode from about:config but it looks like the new tab style can't be easily changed anymore.

> All the smart people have already left.

I don't believe this, but I empathise with your fury.

There has just been a small Covid outbreak in my town. The organisation of the response (all local - not federal) has been phenomenal, straight up inspiring.

But we are also the inheritors of a long legacy of stupid and brutal, and it can be hard to look around and believe that now is better than it was. How could this possibly be better? The gutting of CSIRO is a tragedy, but it's short term gain for tragedies all the way down.

I think Australia today is different better society than the country a century ago, we are iterating of a base of absolute monarchy and entrenched power, and it seems as we have got comfortable, and many of us are comfortable, many of us have stopped pushing.

There's a book on historical protest movements in Australia by Jeff Sparrow. It was an eye opener for me to see that actually things were even worse a century ago, the way fear of communist infiltration was used to control society, was even more clumsy, and more successful than the garbage we encounter today. The story of the Hilton Hotel bombing in the 70s is so clumsy it would be hilarious if lives weren't ruined. ASIO planted a fake bomb (which they intended to find and they use to justify further funding), which actually blew up, and then the Indian representative (was it the ambassador or the Prime Minister?) declared it was a terrorist attack against him, so ASIO had to find a hippy to arrest, so they did and they got away with it.
Yes, and Netflix knows about that report,too.

No, the second idea is silly. They already have buckets of information. In fact, they have a whole team dedicated to making sure they don't hold onto certain types of PII (Personally identifiable Info)

They have their flaws, but they don't waste time doing useless shit (once they have figured that out).

I mean, obviously they notice which accounts are breaking whatever rules are currently in force.
I use Bitwarden at home. Two of my last three jobs used 1PW. I wish I had a ten'er for everytime I swore at 1PW and professed my love for Bw.

I previously used LastPass but heard about Bw on HN. Saw it had Yubikey support for just $10 per year. Tried Bw. Have never regretted that decision.
It's interesting to read these different experiences. I'm in my 40s, my second Pfizer just left me feeling mildly tired, with a bit of pain in the arm. My dad didn't have any real symptoms, and my brothers, in their 30s, said they had more flu like symptoms. I actually had planned to be out of commission based on other peoples reports and was surprised when I was basically fine.
> Is there some other objective measure

Not when it involves China, since gamesmanship and financial incentives play the dominant role for researchers.

A good analogy is the Olympics - China cares only about their gold medal count, while Americans are also interested in the various sports, bios, fitness, history, etc.

Regarding AI, China is hoping their surveillance state and mass collection of data give them an advantage over the US with more available training data and applications.

Somewhat. It really kind of depends. It can be that. It can be a visceral thrill at the intellectual understanding of what one is setting in motion. (A fire can be considered an early manifestation of network effect. You invite the coordinated release of energy in proximate fuel sources). It can be a symbolic thing (catharsis through slipping out of the bonds of civilizational control and unleashing the most primal manifestations of the oppressor on themselves). It can be an act of creative destruction, (a time to build, a time to destroy; ashes to ashes). It can just be liberating in the sense the ensuing chaos causes an incontrovertible shift in the world around them in pretty much any sphere you can imagine. It can be joy of equality found at last. All are made equal in the face of Natural forces. For some it's about finding resonance between a state of internal emotional turmoil and external circumstance. (I want to burn until there is nothing left to burn about.) Or think of how one in pain may injure themselves or inflict an acute pain on themselves to distract them from an unceasing pain. I have a feeling that for many, it's as simple as "it felt like the thing to do at the time".

Interestingly enough, arson was one of the original capital offenses in many traditions of justice systems as the building techniques of primitive cultures are often not terribly resilient in the face of malicious fire starting.
I've always enjoyed the gems that people mine from his blog.

I'm big on Quality. Damn near obsessive about it.

I worked for a company that was renown for Quality. They were (and will be, for a while), one of those brands that is basically synonymous for "Quality."

They got there by a combination of really heavy-duty, enforced process, combined with some awesome "tribal knowledge." They have been doing it for over a century.

But it was not a good fit for software development (they make hardware). Way too inflexible.

Since leaving that company, I've been trying out some ideas that I had, as I worked there. For the most part, these ideas have been working -quite well; but I haven't really had a chance to scale them.

But software quality, these days, sucks like a supermassive, galaxy-core, singularity. It's reached the point where our entire culture is acclimated to crap software, and we even punish efforts to improve it.

Something needs to be done, and I've found that small, commonsense habits can go a long way towards that.

If we watch a craftsman at work, we will see them do lots of little things, that we barely notice (and that they, themselves, barely notice, as they are habit). These little things are what makes their work "Quality."

When they have an apprentice, they are forced to inventory their habits, and articulate them. That's one reason why martial arts schools make their senior belts train junior belts. It's also why I think that today's engineering culture of "24 months, max" at corporations is pretty corrosive to Quality.

I've found that writing my code, as if I am going to be using it to train someone else, and doing it long enough to develop Quality habits, helps me to do a better job on it.
They're trying to get the AMA started here.
If you wish to leverage the advanced features of github, the CLI gives you direct access rather than rolling your own api client. git will always be a first class citizen at GIThub.. but how do you open, close, or comment on PRs with a standard git client?

Edit: The last part came across a bit snarky, but I’m trying to stimulate the thought process. Such as leveraging GitHub Actions to automate all aspects of PRs via gitops instead of using the GitHub client. Many ways to avoid dependence of the CLI!
The reality is that cost of living is really just a proxy in these conversations, really what we're talking about is the market wage for "premium" developers. I imagine over time remote developers will converge to a single market, but that it will take time, since there isn't as many opportunities for remote developers now there's not much pressure to move towards competing against remote offers. E.g., if I go to my employer and ask for a higher wage working remotely their likely response would be good luck getting a similar remote position. But as more remote opportunities open up you'll likely see more competition.

If there's enough remote positions and they're generally seen as equally desirable as in person positions we might even see everywhere going to a single market within national boundaries regardless of remote or in person, which would be quite interesting.
