I won’t get into a pissing match, here, but my own life story is one you might find interesting (or maybe not).

I’m not some “ivory tower geek,” using strawman arguments. I have over 40 years, working directly with folks, suffering from withering challenges. It's entirely possible that we might travel in the same circles, and you may have even run across my work (most folks don't know it's my work, but a lot of people use it).

But I sincerely wish you well, and I’m gratified that you responded. You are always free to reach out (I’m easy to find), if you want to continue the discussion.

Good luck, and Godspeed.

[EDITED TO ADD] And welcome to HN! I'm looking forward to seeing your viewpoints here. You have a unique life story.
I'll take a look. Actually what prompted this Ask is that I have recently helped someone with a javafx project and she was using webstorm's ide.

The executive director of the foundation is an employee of Microsoft, so they most certainly are. GitHub, less so.
A lot of people on this thread are saying that the elite MBA is still very relevant because of 4 and 5. Sure.

But perhaps a more interesting question is, if those are the real goals, is an MBA the most effective and direct way to deliver them? If no one seems to be arguing that their value is what happens in the actual classes, why should gate-keeping and network-creation happen through a degree program?
> (When initiating a drag, VS Code steals active app focus and brings its windows to front. It should stay in the background so that you can drag content into another app. This is a behaviour that views in Cocoa applications just inherit automatically.)

This is a good design. It's very dumb that on other OSes initiating dragging steals focus and often hides where you want to drop.
Besides the very plausible DIY solution suggested by a sibling comment, Joey's Pizza can go to something like wix.com and pay $23 / month for an account that even lets you accept online payments. Seems like it pays itself if even only a handful people order directly through you rather than via food delivery apps each month.
I've heard this before about black culture (hadn't about Mexican culture though) and it's quite sad.

I could be way off the mark here, but to me it seems like the reason for this is that if one has been blaming external factors for all of their failings, it doesn't feel good to see someone with the exact same limitations pushing ahead. It hurts the excuse that one has been making to oneself about what the reasons for not being successful are.

But as embarrassing as it might feel to have others surpass oneself, dragging others down is never a good way to handle it. Fixing that really requires a culture shift and I'm not sure that any amount of changes from the outside can have a notable impact (if anything, pushing too hard for change from the outside can make people stick harder to their ways of thinking).
The assumption in this statement is staggering.

If public Company A has costs greater than revenue and is therefore losing money, private Company B will therefore (?) be able to provide a better service at lower cost? On what basis?

There is no private company today that does what the USPS does. It's easy to forget while living in the metro areas most of us live in, but Fedex, UPS, and DHL often contract out to deliver to rural addresses, because they don't offer universal delivery. The contract out to the USPS, which does because it's required to.

So no, I absolutely dispute that a private company would or could provide a better service than the USPS at lower cost. The USPS would be fine if not repeatedly and continually hamstrung by Congress, and no competitor comes close even so.

I mean, have you compared prices recently? Today, right now, private companies are providing arguably worse services (again, more limited delivery area) at higher cost[0].

I am curious if Airflow is the most appropriate tool for such tasks. I would imagine Apache Camel to be a good starting point for building a library of connectors and then plugging them together using EIP [1] patterns?

Same here. The "Casio hackers" community was nowhere near as large as the TI folks, but we had some good times and some impressive projects too. :)
QT 6.1.3 is available via vcpkg already.
I found a lot more success in the working world once I choose to just embrace the "normalcy" of certain things that routinely don't make sense in the working world, and to simply try to make what I can make work better.

The working world is really nonsensical and absurd if you ask me, but the end goal of doing a job for money that in turn allows me to do things that "make sense" to me is the payoff.

Self Sacrifice is sometimes necessary for success, but it is a finite resource, and can hurt or destroy you if not carefully applied (the simple equation)

A resume just needs to show the mountains you've climbed against the odds, without lamenting about the battle scars you got along the way... Resume formatting is really just fluff, that you don't need if they need you because you've proven that you can climb real mountains. :P
Make an API out of that. There is huge demand for it.
of course not, humans are most often wrong about everything. Someone with experience is just that. Our perspective changes.

I started coding at 12 because everyone said it was much to hard for me. Now im old and motivate people by doing the same. At the same time its good to be reminded by others what happens if you drop one thing in favor of the other.
Relative network effects are what an MBA is for.

The actual education is over generalized to make it easy for Lord Fontleroy, who is to have a degree to insulate them from work (no joke the degree system started as a payola scheme to provide secular credentials to rich kids the rubes would be too dumb to invalidate, as belief in the churches central authority fell apart).
Find their GDPR DPO's email address, or failing that, the email of some high-up people in the company and set up an email forwarding rule to send all their spam back to them.
On the one hand, yes, an excellent comment with some impressive background and credentials.

On the other hand, I'm put off by this rejection of differing viewpoints:

"While contrarianism is a valuable american (and human) trait, in this situation it is misplaced, mis-informed, and dangerous. An educated man's anti-vaxx, if you will."

... which employs a fairly lazy pejorative to dismiss (people that think perhaps we shouldn't eliminate mosquitos).

I believe I quote Will Durant: "The mosquito is the enemy of civilization" and I am intrigued, generally, by the idea of eliminating mosquitos ... but I also adhere to the precautionary principal.

Maybe save a breeding stock and frozen eggs, etc., in case there is some hidden consequence we didn't think of ?
So is this a problem and what is their remedy?

When answering, mind that the Rule of Law is not particularly high in Vietnam to begin with.
How does Safari not have privacy features? Or Firefox? Apple has very publicly been trying to block tracking on its platforms and has the resources that are comparable to nation states. The also publicly fought the FBI and, if the blogs are true, severely hindered FaceBooks tracking.

Kagi is bootstrapped by a somewhat unknown founder presumably in Serbia or from Serbia. Serbia has not always been a friend of the West/US and the government can compel people to do things that are not privacy friendly. I mean no offense by this statement and I have spent time in Serbia. My ears do perk up when I hear Serbia/Balkans or Eastern Europe related to privacy.
The reason people struggle with the idea of 10x programmers is that people are very bad at evaluating the impact of others. Obviously we can all agree on a select few but for those who are just "regular" workers there is often not enough context.

Owning Starlink shares is the closest you might get, but its IPO is still a few years away.
Well of course, there is a reason why there was so much wealth behind the leave campaign. Crashing a country and then buy up their stuff was already completed in Greece so they found a new victim.
Nor is their business paying taxes, hiring or advertising, yet they seem to manage to do all of those on a regular basis.

I found it interesting that the extreme slow motion made them seem a lot larger. As if they were furry dog-sized flying animals.
Hard to say if it'll be as smooth as iPhone, but my experience with PinePhone shows that Qt-based environments (Ubuntu Touch, SailfishOS, even KDE) are way smoother than Phosh, which is based on Gtk. PinePhone isn't the most powerful phone out there, but I'd risk saying that SailfishOS is pretty smooth on it.

The guy is spot-on. Some devs are too quick to assume that technical perfection / purity is what they're paid for. Sometimes that approach and mindset serves a really valid purpose but often not.
That is not vim, ctrl-s/control-q turn on/off flow control. Very useful if you want to temporarily pause command output.

You can turn it off using `stty -ixon`, and this also wouldn't be a problem in a graphical vim, but vim would need to have a keybinding for it.
Yes. A friend was homeschooling her kids in the US, and then her husband got an assignment in Germany for about a year. She took the kids and joined her husband in Germany for a few months. The rules were all different, and much stricter in Germany. I remember she was thinking of trying to continue to home school there, and keep her kids inside during school hours, and try to slide under the radar. I don't remember if she got away with it or not.
Still want to build things, but take a break from the screens
My understanding of dbt is that it builds a DAG based on the interdepencies between models. The interdepencies are parsed from 'ref' functions on the SQL files. The thing with dbt is that you transform the data within a single data warehouse.

So, you would normally first load all data to the data warehouse. Then dependencies between SQL models are easier to map.
> while it's inherently a super-subjective metric, I would say that 10x programmers do exist

Even worse than super-subjective, it seems like people don't agree on the definition of "10x programmer".

Is that 10x value (code * code quality) produced per unit of work-time? Per brain cycle? Are you controlling for programmer experience, or domain knowledge, as [1] pointed out? Do you actually mean 10x, or is that a stand-in for "significantly more productive" with an unknown value? Do you include collaborative skills and working with a team, or even entirely base your definition off of that?

I'm both curious as to the exact definition you have in mind, and also trying to point out the more general issue so that others arguing past each other can realize that they have two different ideas in mind.

I can’t understand how Instagram for Kids can succeed. Any parent that knows half of the bad stuff Facebook allegedly does (and how other “for Kids” efforts have utterly failed to protect the children) would never let their kids on such a platform. I would sooner buy a product labeled Crack Cocaine for Kids; it would be safer for them.
I have raised this same argument many times in various debates on Right to Privacy, free speech on online platforms etc.

One counter point that regularly comes up is that people have become cynical of the system and feel that it doesn't respond to their need fast enough or even in an easy and accessible manner. This is partly true. Laws and regulations still haven't caught up to the various things online platforms are trying at a fast pace. (And that's by design in mature democracies - politicians are supposed to observe the effect of something on a society before deciding the best way to legislate on it). And thus people are being forced to turn to the corporates instead to address their need.

I mean, who wouldn't prefer to just yell at Twitter or Facebook to take down a post compared to the convulated process of the judiciary to do it legally?

Thankfully, the governments around the world are finally starting to debate laws and regulations on Privacy, Right to Repair, etc. are starting to legislate on it.
The video also starts with, and continues throughout with, convincing people why their current writing style is bad, and why a new style is better.
Today I learned there was a better way than "dt)..", but that is still one of the things I like most about vim: verb+adverb+subject goes a really long way instead of trying to learn millions of keyboard shortcuts. Each new verb really expands your options rather than doing a single thing like a keyboard shortcut.

I have nothing against that guy, but it'd be nice to have more than a promotional self-description. Does he have a good individual reputation (e.g like Raymond Hill)?
Technically correct, practically assholish.

This is not fb people realise europe is not a country, and I bet majority know difference between eu and europe.
>You can extend this thought to poverty in general. Very little would need to change to eliminate it entirely.

To be fair, many of the "rough edges" of poverty have been sanded down over the past 100 years or so in most developed countries.

Poor people no longer face debtor's prison, starvation, lack of access to health care (with the exception of one notable country), a complete lack of education, lack of plumbing/utilities etc.

In addition to this, much of Asia and parts of Africa and South America have graduated from dirt poor to middle or high income nations.

That's not to say we couldn't do more, but the trend seems to be favouring the elimination or at least a sharp reduction in (absolute) poverty for the forseeable future, both in developing and developed nations.
It doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere else so I'd like to bring up that the USPS used to offer a sort of banking service before from 1911 to 1967.

Thanks. I was curious because the demo on the homepage doesn't appear to be communicating with a backend. (The xterm.js code just seems to interact with https://xtermjs.org/js/demo.js.) So I guess this demo presented an experience that people should expect with xterm.js, but not necessarily the standard implementation.
Musk has also said SpaceX will likely spin out and IPO Starlink. I think he also said he intends to use his wealth from Tesla, and therefore likely Starlink too, to fund his Mars ambitions.

There’s also quite a lot of opportunity of Starship is successfully “fully and rapidly reusable”. Point to point transport of cargo and potentially even humans, etc.
What you describe is timing the market though? Specifically, getting in on a run with confidence you can get out before the crash.

Shouldn't the goal be to deal with the psychological trauma rather than engaging in activities that suppress memories of the trauma?

During the pandemic I went down the rabbit hole of the fitness industry. You will find thousands of videos on YouTube/memes on forums that teach people that they can get over an ex by just focusing on getting shredded and developing a killer physique. To me that is akin to what this study suggests: avoid the trauma by distracting yourself with another activity. While self-improvement is commendable, I don't think avoidance tactics are the best way to treat the root cause of the problem though.
A classic version of calling for Mom.

I don't do front end, no dog in this fight. But when someone starts talking down to you, explaining in small words why "business is ultimately in charge", you know they lost the first argument and are now threatening to tell Mom on you.
(Shameless but relevant example.) On https://CoCalc.com [1], you can create a project and click +New-->Terminal to get an *xerm.js based terminal*, then upload the ccrypt source code (download and upload the tarball from [2]), extract it, and build it in a few seconds via "./configure && make". You can then run it via "src/ccrypt". I'm also an educator, and created CoCalc mainly for teaching (it has course management functionality).

When my FiL had an accident and eventually died in the burn center of a big hospital, we were shocked to find that many kids in the unit had no visitors.

Even their parents struggled with the nature of their injury. We visited daily over 3 months until he passed away and were able to redirect a local charity to support those kids.

The world can be cruel, a little kindness goes a long way.
Ah! Also not from the US... now that makes sense!

But from your numbers, what's the split in child acceptance rate between "former student" vs "former student who donates"?

And now I'm even more curious, what's an average rough donation amount to hold onto this "reserved spot"?
Interesting bit on the about page:

> During the first ten months of this period, the server was online for 98.2% of the time. This means that it was offline for only 152 hours (6.4 days) – and this includes the winter months.

> However, uptime from 1 October to 30 November 2019 plummeted to 80.17%. This was caused by a software upgrade of the Linux kernel, which increased the average power use of the server from 1.19 to 1.49 watts, and consequently brought the website down for at least a few hours every night.
Network-level blockers are very crude and tend to cause errors that are hard to debug and fix. I get it if you have no other option and they work well enough with a very conservative blocklist, but in my experience a dedicated extension will block more ads, block them better (no blank spots in pages), break legitimate content less often and when it does be far easier to temporarily bypass.
I'm in a similar situation but Ive got kids and a wife. They add a tonne of purpose and meaning. My side business is a small farm. Great side effect of that is all the jobs on the farm are kid friendly. Spending all my days with my little family making world class food can not be beat. You may want to consider adding some little ones to your life. :)

I think Thermacell is ok to keep mosquitos away but it don't think it really kills them, at least in masses. You can't really have it running for 24/7 because the pad that contains the poison/repellent that it diffuses will run out in 4-12 hours.

Also there are some comments on that the poison they use is really harmful for marine life, so you shouldn't use it near water. Also personally not sure I like to have poison diffuser next me all time.

why are there all these unbanked people in the first place?

There are a handful of reasons: https://www.fdic.gov/news/events/consumersymposium/2017/docu...

One large portion of the unbanked have a low socioeconomic status. Banks tend not to operate in the areas they live. Banks also have limited hours, so if you happen to work during those hours and can't take a day off, when are you going to go? Many banks don't have anyone to speak Spanish.

Another is people with poor health and limited
cognitive ability. This includes the elderly.
I don't doubt that multitasking makes us less efficient and more prone to mistakes, but the question is by how much?

Sometimes it might be worth multitasking and being less efficient at both tasks. If I'm washing the dishes and listening to a podcast I'm completely okay if I'm at 80% efficiency at washing the dishes and paying attention to the podcast. Neither activity generally requires all my attention. The same goes for many other activities that we do.

Playing a video game and listening to a lecture is probably still better than just playing the video game. Just don't expect to absorb the lecture as well as you would if you were to fully concentrate on it.

I'd really love to see an alternative history where A Friedman Doctrine: The Social Responsibility of Business is to Increase Its Profits was not so influential.

For anyone that's interested I'd really recommend just going back and reading the original piece, the regime of profits uber allis that we've lived under for decades is much stronger than even what he was arguing for in that piece.
