This is why the "right vs left" style of thinking drives me crazy.

Unions are constantly doing evil things, usually for the same greedy and power-hungry reasons as any corporate board, and to the same detriment of society at large, but because we think of unions as being on "our side" and latch onto this romanticized notion of the unions of the 1800s they get a pass.

The police and prison guard unions constantly do horrible things to increase incarceration rates, erode civil rights and remove accountability. Labor unions fight against improvements that would make their industries pollute less if it makes their jobs harder or would replace union-dues-paying members with technology or non-union jobs. And they constantly create artificial monopolies and cartels far worse than any of the corporate behavior, which create situations like the pilot unions where senior pilots get huge salaries and cushy routes while entry-level pilots are treated like slaves, or where you're not allowed to plug in your laptop charger to a wall outlet because only a union electrician can touch it.

I wish society was better at recognizing "this group is harming society for the benefit of themselves" can be applied everywhere- corporations, unions, branches of government, etc

I don't see e2ee email happening anytime soon. The technology is just not very user friendly. And honestly, without e2ee, I don't put much trust into providers like Protonmail either because at some point the email is coming in as plain text and that's where one could always siphon it off.

Sometimes you see somebody start out with what looks like a cool project and they explain it pretty well at first but they go for a while, it gets boring, they start to apologize for what they do wrong (never do that... when i am explaining something I do I feel pressured to go back and do it right!)

Video is not a great format for projects of any real complexity. You could make a good 10 minute video where you do something small with create-react-app but it's going to take strong planning and editing for it to be worth watching.

So great to see RescueTime launching! It was one of the first YC companies that excited me and inspired us to try and get into YC ourselves, which we did in '09.

Congrats and good luck!

Why is the author comparing individual average salary ($35k) with household expenses?

People should compare household income ($68.5 [0]) with this kind of topic.

Unless someone wants to argue that individuals should be able to afford the average home when the average home has multiple people. That’s either stupid or crazy.

It seems like the author just doesn’t understand life and how people other than themself live. When I go to a new country, I work to learn about them. After two years writing a poor analysis without understanding the concepts is confusing to me. Why do that instead of doing some more research and comparison?

> A merge is a commit with two parent commits, pointing to a new tree that contains the blobs from both parents.

The second parent is metadata. The way a merge works is essentially to compute the commits you need to cherry-pick, then cherry-pick them without committing, resolving conflicts in pretty much the same way git cherry-pick does, THEN commit with two parents.

> It does not modify any blobs, nor does it modify the parent commits. The full history of all activity is retained.

A new commit containing merged content is created, as well as a merge commit with the second parent that documents that a merge happened and what was merged.

> A merge conflict is a case where both trees changed the same blob since their common ancestor. In this case, you have to make a new blob yourself (the "resolution") for use in the merge commit's tree, instead of using one of the parent blobs.

git merge does the same thing for automatic (and manual) conflict resolution as git cherry-pick. So does git-rebase.

> Squash is "Remove all commits from C_newest to C_oldest, and create a new commit using C_newest tree". Rebases just run another git action for every commit in a sequence, e.g. cherry-pick.

Rebasing is constructing a set of operations:

- construct a set of commits to pick as the
commits between (the merge-base of HEAD
and the selected commit) and the selected
commit
- git checkout the --onto HEAD
- cherry-pick the selected commits

An interactive rebase lets you drop commits, add commits, edit, reword, or fixup/squash commits.

Squashing a commit is essentially doing `git cherry-pick --no-commit` of the to-be-squashed commit and then `git commit --amend` to replace the HEAD commit with a new commit that includes the changes staged by `git cherry-pick --no-commit`.

Yes, it really is this simple. I aver that it is easier to understand the above than to think of merging and rebasing and cherry-picking as fundamentally different operations.
Ah, the capitalist grindset! Buy a self-help book to cure your mind from the society, then another to cure your mind from the previous one…
I was initially not in the camp POSIX APIs are the devil. I felt there's inherent tradeoffs and design decisions a serious modern operating system seems to need from your comments, but ignoring that, I was suprised that is was a botherance to you?

Thanks for sharing some context on why it's bad though. Cheers.
I have never understood the point of Bartleby the Scrivener. He was a person who didn't want to do any of the things that people do, and eventually that caused him to stop being a person.

I'm all for opting out, appreciating life outside of work, not having to explain yourself, and all that. But Bartleby wasn't really any of that. He was just a non-entity. If there were a moral to the story it would be "If you don't work, you starve to death."

I've never understood what people see in Bartleby -- it's as if they only read (or remember) the first few pages and saw some kind of counterculture hero. That's not what I recall at all. Can you tell me what you saw in it?
It seems like a lot of what your GP does in the US is 1. write prescriptions and 2. give referrals for patients that want to see specialists.

I've thought a bit about this, and really, I don't see any reason why it has to be a physician that does these things. Why can't we change the law to allow an RN or some other qualified but cheaper medical practitioner to write adderall scripts? Why do we need someone who went to 8 years of higher ed and several years of residency to do that?

It reminds me of eyeglasses in the UK. Prior to 1984, you had to get them through a licensed ophthalmologist. As a result, it was quite a process and expensive to get a pair of them. Then in 1984, it was deregulated and now you can go to SpecSavers and get a pair of eyeglasses for cheap. There was no reason that a licensed and well paid ophthalmologist had to gatekeep it.

I would've worded it as "petulantly delaying sleep".

One is being immature and frustrated at the lack of planning and control in one's life, so one retaliatorally "plays" when one actually has the power to decide.

There was an article not too long ago about overly-controlled/time-regimented children doing this same thing. When they have no power over how to spend their day, they decide to control their night, to their own detriment, health-wise.
It'd be great to see this as a somewhat generic feature for generating usernames and email aliases in 1password. I don't use fastmail and I'm not particularly interested in switching at this point in time. I would love it if 1password had a hook where you provide your custom domain and it generates a random address according to some schema defined using the current password-style configurator. I assume that the current fastmail limitation is because fastmail is ensuring that there is no conflict with existing aliases (which seems like it should be very low probability)?

Yes you can add these, in Firefox it's called Search Shortcuts and a few are there by default. But there are a few reason why I prefer DDG:

1. I don't have to add those things in my Browser

2. When I searched DDG for something don't find good stuff I can just go to the search bar on the DDG page and add any !bang to query a search engine I like (!y for Yahoo, !g for Google, …)

3. No matter which Browser I use on which device, the only thing I have to change is the default Search engine and it's set up for anything I want to search. This is especially nice for me since I use Firefox on my Mac, Brave and Safari on my iPhone and Brave and Chromium on my Windows device

I'd like to be able to email the bees. I suppose it shouldn't be so hard to have a GAN for translating from English into the dance of the bees.

Maybe the danger is in translating back and learning what they know. The bees haven't read Ayn Rand, they're more a Hofstadter-Theseus consciousness with many finite lifetimes making a macro-scale Methuselah. They surely know about the Bronze Age Collapse, what happened on Rapa Nui, why out ancestors came down from the trees.

Can you fill in the curious on what U.S.S.A stands for?

My original comment was tongue-in-cheek, but I think the underlying sentiment is a reasonable one. Joining a monastery - from an outsiders view - is fundamentally a pursuit of a higher purpose. Joining a corporation is often anything but.

While there will be crossover in human group dynamics, I’m (perhaps naively) viewing corporate life to have a completely incompatible incentive structure coupled with a bent towards generally self-serving employees. Maybe I have an idealistic view of the average monk but I’d be quite sad to learn that the pettiness that pervades many corporations is much the same.

A great many people work simply to survive: I’m not sure the same is true of monks.
> A segmentation fault is what you can expect in real systems,

Nope. Just today I've seen a stack corruption bug that instead of producing a segmentation fault caused the process to go into uninterruptible sleep, somehow.
1) uBlock Origin has been around and without selling out for 6-7 years now. You don't have to worry that the plugin is bought out but you do have to worry that the browser is. You don't have to figure out which adblocker to use, because there is only one right answer. And it takes barely thirty seconds of effort.

I have no opinion about 2.

3 is fair, but I have similar objections about Brendan Eich.
Sounds like Tesla China is employing people that aligned with company goals....

More likely you have a rose colored picture of what this corporation is about. I am not a Elon hater like many, I actually enjoy is Social media antics..

however Tesla as a company is terrible, from their apple like control over their "platform" to their amazon like labor practices, to their Authoritarian needs to control all aspects of their products...

No it sounds like Tesla China is right inline with Corporate Tesla
Do you have a good reason to be using newer versions of Adobe software? After all, the old ones do still exist, and most of the interchange formats haven't changed in a while.

So far as I can tell, the primary good reason to maintain a modern version of Adobe products is so that they can interoperate with other people's modern version of Adobe products. (Though I understand Photoshop has released some nice new features recently.) Indeed, you could even have a recent version when needed and a faster, leaner, older version for quotidian work.
I don't think you're being too cynical at all. People need to stop believing the myth that "the market" (aka ordinary customers) will solve the problem by just boycotting companies into submission. I can't think of any instances where this actually happened or the threat actually had any meaningful impact on companies that they didn't internally want to enact already.
But why would that be the case? Maybe they need the job more because they can't just go make more money driving a big rig and are then less likely to jeopardize it by doing something wrong.

Plus, the driver of a smaller vehicle has fewer kids to care about, so the same amount of caring goes less diluted. If you get into a collision, the driver only has to take care of 8 kids instead of 40.
That may be a deal breaker for you. But for others it's a necessary feature! Firefox added it as a feature and I love it! And I say that as a person with a very anti-Google stance. Perhaps it's an area that is ripe for disruption but without using the browser or Javascript.
Yes of course, I wasn’t complaining that it had ads.
Thanks so much! Super great feeling to think of us as an inspiration. Tony had a LOT to do with this new version - he came back for a little over a year to product manage it himself.
Nostalgia!

Was an early editor/writer for Byte in the very early days (first few issues), though had to back off due to school load (in college at the time).

Carl Helmers and Dan Fylstra (founder of VisiCorp (publisher of VisiCalc), friend from high school days in San Diego) and I were all working at Intermetrics in Cambridge, and got together to start Byte, visiting Wayne and Virginia Green (big ham radio publisher at the time) in New Hampshire.

I only played a minor role, but it was definitely a lot of fun.

This gets repeatedly asserted, and it's false. Low-accuracy voice transcription is a solved problem, and is relatively easy to hide, as long as you have API access[1]. (so, Facebook is probably in the clear, as neither Apple nor Google are crazy enough to let them have invisible microphone access, but it would be relatively easy for Google (Play Services hook anyone?))

It's interesting that you mention Chrome’s silliness when I find Firefox’ dev tools to be severely lacking, especially for WebExtensions. Examples include:

- complete inability to run code from the console into the content script context
- content script errors are not shown in the console, you have to open a separate Browser Console
- overall buggy dev tools (I don't remember anymore because I stopped using them a long time ago)

I guess every browser lacks something, it's just that we notice when we compare "my browser" to the next one.

Not only that, but it's really difficult to get the service line replaced even if you're willing to pay for it.

We went through the exercise a few years ago. It can be difficult to find a plumbing service willing to do this kind of work because not only do they need a special certification (makes sense) but the company has to put up something like a $5000 bond on their work with the city.

On top of that replacing the portion of the line that goes from the shutoff to the main requires digging up the street, so it can only be done if your street is not currently on a "moratorium" because it was recently repaved. Finally, the city charges a significant amount in permitting fees before you even get to paying for the plumbing service, roadwork repair and landscaping.

We finally gave up on that project and given the relatively low level leeching into our water just decided that we could live with using water filters specifically designed to remove lead for any water that our kids drink / cook with.

If Chicago was really serious about tackling this they could start with waiving permitting fees and bond requirements and streamline the process for managing the part of the process that occurs on city property. That'd at least make replacing these more tractable during a remodel.
