10x engineer: one that produces 10x the solutions, or creates 1/10th the problems, or a mix of the two--over a long enough time span to include second-order effects.

The weak version of the term is one that enables the team to produce 10x, or ..., which I personally don't go for, it's watering down a difference in abilities which acknowledging makes people uncomfortable. I would call them sqrt(10)-x engineers who do 3x and let the team do 3x.

So, the arrival of portolets may be strongly correlated with construction crews that clear away trees and lay foundations. But, you know, it doesn't cause them. The causality works the other way.

I have lived in southeast Austin, Texas, for 20 years now. It is currently in the early stages of gentrification. The arrival of better food options is driven by things like, are the people who live here willing to pay more for fresh food, organic food, or non-chain food? If they are not, then you get different food options than if they are. It doesn't mean the food options (food trucks and farmers markets, in this case) were driving the change. The change is driven by the fact that the other areas in town are already gentrified, and this is the last one left that's this close to town. Blaming the people trying to run a small business or make money as an urban farmer, is comically ill-informed.
I never suggested banning anything. I was merely pointing out that those two points are contradictory.

The way you talk about addiction, however, makes me think you don't really understand how it works and seemingly view any addiction that isn't physical as invalid and that is not how it works.
What kind of lock-in? One of the reasons I started using it was due to the minimal lock-in, so we've arrived at different conclusions.

A task definition is required, which is sort of a docker-compose.yml analogue, but it's also possible to use docker compose directly with ECS Fargate. So my 'get out of AWS' is pretty simple, I already have the docker-compose.yml ready.

ehhh, I watched it and having a trans friend doesn’t give him a free pass just like the old “I have a black friend” doesn’t

I’ve already seen posts from anti-trans folks praising him, and “i’m team terf” memes. I don’t think the material was funny or provocative enough to warrant the validation it’s creating amongst bigots (even if they’re missing the point).

He seemingly saw this coming and seemed to be preemptively playing defense the entire special.

I’m not going to “cancel” him or whatever, but the whole thing seems lazy on multiple fronts. He intentionally stirred a very divisive pot so people would talk about him, and he tried to set himself up as the smart guy for “seeing” obvious backlash coming.
My 2015 MBP running Mojave is on its last legs. Everything Apple has released since then - both the increasingly unstable OS "upgrades" and all the horrible hardware changes including the broken keyboards in 2016, lack of ports, removal of escape and function keys, gimmicky touch bar, etc. - have discouraged me from upgrading to a new laptop, even at work where my employer would be paying for it.

I'm at the point where if they don't release a new Intel MBP that's a worthy successor to the 2015 15" model, then I'll probably just end up giving up on Apple for good and moving to a Dell with WSL. I imagine I'm not the only one who has patiently been waiting for years, but won't do so much longer.
Not knowing where to begin, I'll simply say that I was political before I was a person, because your culture made me this way.

There is no part of my personhood that is not political. Chapelle rounded out his bit by embracing trans exclusionism, thereby denying that trans women -- including the woman he had backstage to, as you so delicately put it, suck him off -- are doing anything other than lying about who they --- we --- really are.

As though we all cared enough about you all to lie to you. Lying takes effort; you're not worth it. Which is why we transition in the first place.

The only people denying humanity are Chapelle and his supporters.

That's a Lisp preprocessor for a non-Lisp language.

If you program in C using the Common Lisp c-mera preprocessor, or any of the other similar systems, it's the same thing.

You're writing everything in S-exps, and the expansions use conses, but the output is C; so that of course that cannot call cons at run time.

Eh, there are two archetypes in this industry:

You can still write code, test it, debug it, release to production; then weeks or months later someone finds a bug in it (in prod). GP's point is that this kind of debugging sucks a lot more time than writing feature's v1 code from scratch. And I agree.

> We mustn't use the force of law to silence those we disagree with? Is that all?

Isn't that enough? (Not to get ahead of myself, but no, I don't think it is anymore.)

> If we didn't in our heart of hearts welcome speech we disagreed with, I think we at least acted as though we did.

It was Voltaire who said, "I wholly disapprove of what you say — and will defend to the death your right to say it." (Actually it was Evelyn Beatrice Hall writing as S. G. Tallentyre who put those words in Mssr. François-Marie Arouet's mouth. https://quoteinvestigator.com/2015/06/01/defend-say/ What a world!)

But I feel it's not really how most people have behaved in practice over the years (or else why would that right need to be enshrined in the Constitution, eh?)

> ...I will rile up my friends online and get you fired for what you said?

As I alluded to above, it seems to me that the rise of online speech and social media puts us into a strange new world. I find twitter hate mobs and the ilk frankly terrifying.

It used to be pretty difficult to get "forbidden" knowledge or opinions in front of a massive crowd. Mass media has pretty much been effectively moderated and even censored from early times. (Movies, Radio, and TV all had their gatekeepers.) Nowadays if you do something stupid or reprehensible (e.g. Lisa Alexander or Amy Cooper) it can rebound on you magnified a million times in a matter of hours.

Is that a violation of the ethos of free speech?

> Even objects that never leave their creator thread will be likely to have their reference count incremented and decremented a few times over their life.

I think you're under the impression that there's only one refcount. The point of the original design (and this one) is that there are two refcounts: one that's updated only by the thread that created the object, and therefor doesn't need to use slow atomic accesses, and one that's updated atomically, and therefor can be adjusted by arbitrary threads.
Is there value in distinguishing religion from organized religion? I'd hardly call the Catholic Church paragons of virtue.
Mockery isn’t inherently comedy, so the question of punch direction isn’t necessarily relevant.

It’s also important to distinguish between mocking of Trump versus Trump supporters, as these are often conflated.

It's even worse than I thought. I simply put in their suggested ingredient to search on: rice. Of the four results I clicked on, only one actually used rice. The other three used rice flour or rice wine vinegar. Technically correct but totally misses the spirit of a useful ingredient search.
In the short term I'd appreciate some of those good recipe sites as I dont know what is better or worse. Would you mind sharing those 10 or so are good?

I’ve asked this question to a few non-tech friends. They definitely know and recognize the harms of using social media, but for many them just struggle to quit. They don’t even know how to put their addictions into words.

There were a few who also used it because it’s easy to keep up with family or friends who might live far away (which is a really valid use case!) and have no problem quitting it or never checking.

These products are designed to be addicting. My hypothesis is that folks might recognize the harm but since the downside is reducing the quality of your mental state (FB doesn’t increase your risk of cancer ala smoking). It’s just not a priority to fix the addiction.

It is not about "offend" some group, it is about deny their humanity. All persecution that ever happened in history always started with campaigns of dehumanisation, so now weary groups fight tooth and nail against all kinds of dehumanising rethoric. The problem is that the line between edgy humour and dehumanising propaganda is fuzzy at times.
FFWD to 20xx and we've learned nothing, cf. Tesla, et al.
Does "being a TERF" mean that you side with women like J.K. Rowling defending traditional positions on gender debates rather than siding with a minority of vocal pro-trans activists who are deliberately causing trouble and don't represent all trans people? If so then I'm a TERF, my mom's a TERF, in fact all mom's I know over the age of 50 are TERFs. Furthermore pretty much everybody in every non-western country is a TERF. So I don't think it's surprising that Dave Chapelle might be a TERF and I don't see why you're talking about TERFs as if they are somehow to be looked down upon or despised.
> But that's just taking the moral argument another level deeper. Why should a person's leisure be subject to the whims of employment?

This isn't a philosophical discussion, fact is that either you produce enough value at work or you get fired.

> And how many employers will look at the work you got done in less time and tell you to go home for the rest of the week because you've finished everything assigned?

You don't have to tell them you are done, you can just relax and browse HN or whatever. Being very productive at work gives you a lot more freedom at work, even if that freedom isn't 100% fairly allocated to you it still improves your situation.

I don't think that the US dollar is a scam but I think The Fed is struggling to keep it afloat. Also, the ever increasing debt of the US concerns me, as well as all the money printing. I just wonder, where does it end? How does it end? Just borrow more and print more? Drop rates to 0%, and then go negative if there's no further to go? Does all that seem sustainable? I do hope inflation will drop when / if The Fed raises rates again. Maybe that will bring some sort of balance. We'll have to see what happens. I don't think the US debt could ever possibly be paid off now though, and we'll have to keep raising the debt ceiling or remove it. There's also some absurd ideas like minting a trillion dollar platinum coin [1]. I just don't think this ends well.

If I inderstand correctly, you created an RSS feed agregator, were the criteria for selecting the feeds is that a) they appeared on HN and b) they are perosnal websitea, not corporate..

Building another Facebook isn’t hard, but the network effect makes it almost impossible. Then they have their acquisition team to ensure that anything that does make it through doesn’t last long. The idea that they’re out there competing on their own merits is silly.

I think that’s one of the big differences - they have a monopoly on the means of production (the userbase), which is less ephemeral than say owning all the steel plants and mines.

The fact that the M1 macbooks can't drive two external displays(even with the internal display switched off) is criminal. I know at least two people who bought a brand new M1 MacBook and returned it the next day for this very reason.
This is how art, comedy and free speech dies. You take the hyper-sensitive, outrage-addicted Twitter culture as measuring stick for what is appropriate.

Whilst Netflix did resist a full take-down, they still took a knee. Don't bow to the unreasonables, just publish and don't explain anything. And indeed, fire the anti-employees, whom sabotage your business.

You're offended? So what? Grow up. Meanwhile hit show "Squid Games" depicts hundreds of people executed, and there's nothing but love and praise.
Don't get me wrong; I'm not suggesting that anyone dump Python altogether to switch to a different language for any arbitrary project or purpose. Many businesses I work with use different languages for different components or applications, using the network or storage (or even shared memory) to intercommunicate when necessary. The right tool for the job, as it were.
How does "Record-high numbers of Americans working in other public-facing roles also quit their jobs as coronavirus cases surged" tell you anything about whether they returned to the industry or not? It doesn't even tell you they quit because of Coronavirus cases surging, just that those two things were happening at the same time. Further, it doesn't even say whether people in public-facing jobs were quitting more frequently than people in non-public-facing jobs.
This is usually good advice for any time you're selling a proposal. Your first attempt is going to be shot down. The more detail it has, the more ammunition there is to shoot it down. So build the minimum viable presentation that's going to trigger an emotional response and tease out the actual issues. Build the real proposal once you've triggered your customer into revealing what's actually on their mind.
The Reatta control system was one of the outcomes of GM's purchase of Hughes Aircraft. (Another was increased plant automation.)
My recollection is that you need a license to PDF patents from Adobe to implement those things, and Apple is somehow grandfathered themselves into those licenses via NeXT.

(But upon writing that I'm not sure where I got that impression from, and I can't find a citation for it right now, so treat the claim with skepticism.)
I find this argument pretty interesting. It seems like if social networks decide to adapt open protocols, it would pretty much kill it. Which wouldn't be the worst outcome out there.
> What you talk about the FAA doing thier own testing and validation is (unfortunately) almost impossible.

No, it isn't. It's just more work than the government feels like doing, involving more technical skill than the government feels like hiring.

The problem is that the government can't have it both ways. It can't both claim that it is regulating airlines and airplane manufacturers to protect public safety, and also claim that it can't independently check what the regulated entities are telling it. It has to be one or the other: either we get the actual independent regulation that the government claims to be doing, with whatever resources it takes, or we all admit that we are not going to get that because the government is incapable of doing it, and we figure out some other way of ensuring safety.

Why don't you use GAE or Cloud run on GCP? They have a big enough free tier that you won't have to pay even up to thousand or so users.

The only cost would be storage, if you're going to use SQL. But then again cheap enough.

I'd suggest porting to key/value pair DBs like mongo or firestore.
These comparisons to obesity are so, so stupid. Obesity is a far more complex case, with much more challenging solutions. For people that become fatter more easily, it takes a lot of work every week to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and that basically never stops. Obese people are almost never proudly very overweight, and if a normal weight was just a couple safe and free shots away, virtually all of them would sign up.

In contrast, vaccination is widely accessible, free, easy, and barely consumes any time. You have to actively not want to be vaccinated at this point to avoid it.
I'm not and have never been arguing about whether or not to take a vaccine. I am arguing celebrating people dying is disgusting no matter the cause. That is it. You can disagree and list why you disagree and I'll respond but, I have zero interesting in arguing about taking a vaccine or if taking 2 shots is easier than exhibiting self control.
I will ask this question again: why not use android instead, since android is open source? Building another mobile OS from scratch seems ill advised, or what am I missing?

If android is open source, it's not google-dependent. I think there's something that I don't understand, but I bet that the core of android can still be used by any phone manufacturer, so I don't really see why pinephone is making their own OS.

Does that mean that android, despite being open source, is hardly usable/customizable by developers, or too complex/bloated?
>Meanwhile hit show "Squid Games" depicts hundreds of people executed, and there's nothing but love and praise.

You do realize that's fiction, right?
This is the big question mark, and why I sigh when people shrug it off.

How much of the demand for these tokens is being driven by money that never really existed? 100%? 50%? 0.02%?

There’s no way of knowing until it crashes - then what? e.g. if the price dives by 50%, and that really equates to 200% of the actual capital ever invested, what happens then?

I was listening to Darknet Diaries episode 102 today about the Canadian money printer, and I was thinking the entire way through it that it was basically describing tether but with paper and ink.

It got especially eye-opening when he talked about having to manage how it was released into circulation slowly so as no-one could track where it was coming from.
this is the same exact reasoning people use to justify being homophobic

If you ignore that NFTs are basically a glorfied registry for micro transactions.

This is like buying a $200 refill cup from a movie theater then being allowed to use it at a competing movie theater chain, except the cup isn't real. It was never a good deal, and there's no incentive for theater's to join in.

yep, that's correct, in most cases I visit about page and see if it's single person's site.
It's an amazing tool.

Why didn't you give it a different name than "video download...". It could project vidown or something that's easy to query.
I would say that we have learned, collectively, some strategies that work, for various definitions of "work".
> You don't want regulatory agencies creating law on their own though.

While I agree with this as a matter of personal opinion, it is not at all the actual fact in our current regulatory regime. Federal regulatory agencies create law all the time. Look at the Federal Register; every regulation in there has the force of law and was written by a regulatory agency.

> you would inevitably end up with some busybody who is not accountable to the people massively over stepping their power and creating tyranny.

Which is exactly the situation now.
Hardly the same. Desktop applications are still much more time-consuming to make. The differences between desktop platforms is on another planet compared to the differences between browsers, especially the difference between Firefox and Chrome, especially when you consider mobile.
Another problem is that Facebook, Amazon, and Google get special treatment. There are explicit filters in WebKit (and probably mozilla) which allow special features for certain big-name companies. Also the App Store gives exemptions (e.g. VoIP notifications) to certain social apps. And most websites block crawlers but allow Google and Internet Archive.

This IMO is a better argument towards anti-competitiveness. I absolutely get that there needs to be filters for certain privileges, but hard-coding them for big-name apps is not the answer.
There's nothing like good physical controls. I believe designers call these "affordances", don't they?
I think their point is more ‘don’t store all that junk in your primary database and then do all your work on it there too if you can just stuff it somewhere else’. Which has pros and cons and depends a lot on various scaling factors.
In NZ and AU you are not restricted by the covid laws if you are in these situations. Other laws protect your right to comms and legal representation, nothing about the covid restrictions has anything to do with that stuff..?

How would those green/virtual threads interface with native async APIs (e.g. the entirety of WinRT)?
Thankfully, they actually are not. Then again, I know there's a broad group of delusional liberal that thinks any republican is a neo-nazi. Maybe you have those glasses on when you see posts outside of your bubble?
>"If only obese people could take 2 shots that drastically reduces the odds of heart disease. "

In this analogy, if such a shot did exist and there were obese people who did not take it, would there be a subreddit giving out awards for when they die from obesity related complications?
The tax dollars didn't completely disappear. They were used to pay you and hundreds of thousands of others
