Selling your time to do software development with shoddy tools is in no way comparable to feeling so desperate that you see your only option in life is to sell a body part.
GIMP is fantastic, thank you for your work.
My golden skill at my last job was asking questions. My director, who was a peer at a prior startup, knew this about me, and dragged me into meetings where my core interest was only peripherally related. I often spent time in the meeting with my head slightly tipped back and my eyes closed, because I would have already read through the prepared slide deck twice before the meeting, and I wanted to concentrate on what was being said. A lot of times, people thought I was asleep. They were wrong. One of the first meetings at this fortune 100 company, a chip architect was running through the design (too many details) and he mentioned one particular communication link they were going to use, because that was the only port available on the companion chip they were using to constrain costs. I immediately opened my eyes and asked one question on the bandwidth/latency for one use case, that would be heavily used, and the room went silent. The architect tried to wave it off, but another hardware engineer I had worked with for three years at a prior job said he would run the numbers on it and get an answer. In the end, the design was cancelled, because that one flaw (there were likely others) meant the design would never work.

People at that company didn't know me well, yet, and as I said, I wasn't core to many of the meetings I attended, and I spent most of the meeting sitting quietly with my eyes closed. Never assume I am sleeping. And don't try to wave off my 'stupid' questions. I ask the stupid questions, because if you cannot address it with a simple direct answer, then you don't understand the stupid question.
It puts me in mind of an old Soviet joke about the two key news sources Pravda ("Truth") and Izvestia ("News"):

In Pravda there is no izvestia, and in Izvestia there is no pravda.
Ugh. Flixbus is a cancer on European public transit. They ignore laws they don't like and compete unfairly.

Flixbus is Uber for busses, and that's not a compliment.

If you somehow don't know who Ricky Jay was and only have a few minutes, I like his appearance on Arsenio Hall for a 5 minute introduction:

(I've watched that damn thing two dozen times and what I've concluded is that Ricky Jay was capable of actual magic.)
People want immediate gratification, and friendship is like dating.

Often, I'm the first to take initiative inviting people out... This is fine. I don't care about that. But sometimes, i'll invite someone out I don't click with 100%

And this is... okay. Even if I spent money and time on that attempt, I always have a decent enough time, and finding friends requires work.

People today don't want to do the work. They barely want to do it for dating but sexual desire provides an itch they need to satisfy so they ultimately figure it out (as well as parental pressure I presume).

Making friends is a long process requiring strategy and continued effort.

For example, we just moved to a new area. We've been going to a few events consistently (children's soccer practice, church, etc). My wife and I both make it a point to speak to as many people as possible. After a few months of doing this, we'll casually ask for a number. Usually it's something like.. "Oh, you like to do <activity X>? I love doing <activity X>... I just read a great article about <activity X>... do you want me to send it to you? CAn I have your number?"

Anyway, after a few more weeks go by with some more interactions, and hopefully a few text messages back and forth, we'll casually ask for them to come over for drinks, dinner, etc.

Does this sound contrived and 'social engineering'y? It absolutely is. My wife and I have spent a good few hours strategizing how to ask people to do various activities, and making lists of people to invite to various things. This is a lot of work that few are willing to do. Even mentioning it can make people think you've gone nuts. But ultimately, friendship, like marriage and dating, is work... it's a choice to put in the effort to be someone's friend.
Even moreso in this studies than many others, as the tweets point out the mice were doing the human equivalent of fasting for a week.
Ah, but lots of languages invented grammatical genders on their own, or use a special gender-signifying pronouns even if the rest of the language lack genders. I should know, my native language lack grammatical genders entirely. Yet we use novel words that specify the sex and gender of people anyway.

So the gradual shift can't be stopped, yes, it will move around and around. For that is the beauty of linguistical evolution.
The problem is that you can get more page views on Twitter for something that takes a day to write than you'd be able to get in an entire year of blogging full time.
No you may not. You are once again confusing people who rent out their time and those that rent out their bodies (prostitutes). You are really clutching at straws here trying to make prostitution morally equivalent to every other job in the market.
It's almost like politics isn't as binary as left or right; at least when you get down to the fundamentals and not the media's portrayal of things.

Was this for your primary source-of-truth, or more of a downstream data warehouse, or something else?

I'm struggling to imagine a case where these are the two things being considered; Timescale is the obvious choice for a primary database, Clickhouse the obvious choice for a warehouse. I wouldn't let my user-facing app write to Clickhouse, and while I could potentially get away with a read-only Timescale replica for internal-facing reports I would expect to eventually outgrow that and reach for Clickhouse/Snowflake/Redshift.
Over the past few years on HN I've periodically seen a nice exchange between people saying "if anyone is in Austin and wants to get a beer, let me know." There's normally a response or two. I wonder how many of these people actually meet up?

And is HN good (or not) for this purpose? Seems like readers/commenters here could easily have a lot in common, so why couldn't HN be used as a platform for 'speed friending.' But of course I'd probably never meet up with HN-ers in the DC area... because I like to tell myself that I'm busy.
This seems like such an unnecessary fine line. The Apple TV box is just for watching video as well - are you fine with the App Store monopoly there? If there were regulation that allowed competing app stores, would you vote for those competitors being locked out of Apple TV apps?
If it was just as capable, then people would buy Raspberry Pi's.

The problem isn't hardware capability, it's the ecosystem on top of it. Pi doesn't have a robust tv platform and app market system that is built around a remote control. Sure, you can run plex on it but even plex has long abandoned its streaming app platform and decided to roll its own TV service instead... Part of me wishes that Plex would have stuck with it but i guess they realized the Streaming TV problem isn't a software or hardware problem to begin with...
Anecdotally, I've been skipping breakfast and lunch M-F with first food at 4pm and I've been losing a little bit of weight (.5%/month) and have a lot more energy. I probably eat about the same caloric volume of food, maybe slightly less. Been at it for about 6mo. Not saying this is right for others but I've been encouraged by the results thus far. I started after reading (some of) the book "The Energy Paradox" by SR Gundry. It's too long but the point is eating requires energy and can make you feel tired. I imagine I'll stick with this program.
Most platform providers have a certification process for apps on their platforms to ensure that they don't have stability or data issues.

Apple does it. Sony does it. Microsoft does it. And if Google isn't doing it with their own app store, then that raises a lot of questions about Google's commitment to quality software.
I am curious to the mechanics of how the accounting situation arises that an insurer would benefit from taking on more liability for less revenue.

The entire business is heavily regulated and based on accurately accounting and pricing risk. It seems suspect that a regulator would allow such an obviously mispriced insurance product.
I won't offer an opinion of my own because I don't have one yet, but I've seen several articles/comments here on HN lately expressing that one should not follow DRY blindly because there are cases where it leads to over complicated code. I remember there was an example showing one such case.
Definitely expand the house, but we should abolish the Senate. It serves no purpose except tyranny of the minority and gridlock.
Depends on whether you have javascript enabled on your coffee pot.

I prefer to use java with mine, though I've heard there's a javascript-compatible language that might target your use case.
There's a few differences when compared to Apple:

They will host your app and let others install it with a private code for free (you don't have to pay to become a developer, and you don't have to pay to use unapproved apps, nor periodically reinstall them, and unapproved apps get treated the same as other apps, and can be auto-updated, etc).

You can (unless this has changed in the past few years since I wrote a Roku app) sideload apps onto your own devices without Roku's involvement.

Developing for a Roku device doesn't require buying anything -- you probably want to buy a Roku to test it out on, but that's not a requirement.

These differences make the proposition much different.

Google doesn't need Roku's permission for writing YouTube unless they want some kind of special treatment outside the published APIs. This part is similar to Apple, where the platform owner can withhold some features from some people.

The last three times I bought or leased a new car I visited dealers zero times. I decided what I wanted then I faxed (yes, faxed!) my requirements to the dealer who seemed to have inventory with instructions where and when to meet me with the vehicle and paperwork. This seems to work, except the one time the dealer thought I wanted to negotiate over the price and I showed them the door.

Buying a car is all about understanding that dealers are usually pretty desperate.

Arrest the fucker NOW!
Sounds like there is room for a service that aggregates all your streaming services into a single portal. They could even include services you don't want into a 'bundle' for 'free'. Then they could work with ISPs to bundle their content aggregation service with internet for one convenient price.

Then they could make an appliance called a 'cable' box so home users can stream all these 'channels' to any device they want.

And now we are back to the 1990s.
Actually its not true at all. There is a real and growing market for people who just want old cable packages but served over the internet (something Google knows about). They have the cash and technical chops to make the best service for this. It aligns with some other things (Stadia, Youtube, Android TV/cast) to round out a total home/living room offering. Home is core for google (hubs, cams, routers, etc) and they do well at it.

Also, the competition is faltering. SlingTV lost NBC regional sports networks in April. I now must move over to Youtube TV. I think the competition gets stronger here, including Apple getting into the space with a live TV offering at some point. Amazon probably too with its sports rights.

Youtube TV is both important for Google, but also a way they can make Roku weaker. At the end of the day, I don’t think Google, Amazon or Apple really want another strong competitor in the living room. Don’t give them youtube TV.
You can't actually be a Master of only 1 language.

This applies to human and computational languages. Consider that English derives from French, German, Latin, Greek, etc. Without knowledge of the root languages, you can't actually master English.

And beyond polyglot is "polyparadigm". Knowing 7 languages in the same paradigm makes you an expert in a particular style of programming. But True Mastery means transcending style.

With that said, most are better served by gaining proficiency communicating with (managing) people than mastering programming.
It's easier to 'ban' it and then to make exceptions on a case by case basis when not using goto make things worse.

That has three practical benefits: It's clear (which is an underrated quality), it forces people to structure their code accordingly, and it prevents endless discussions (another very valuable quality). Otherwise, in my experience the use of goto tends to creep up and every occurrence leads to discussions in code review.

So it's not that those decisions are subjective is that they are practical and workable. Especially, if you are defining practices for contractors to follow it is beneficial to keep those rules simple and clear as they will form contractual obligations.
Hi there, you replied to a post I made a little while back. Your reply has touched a lot of the people I know and it's really strengthened the resolve of many of the people I know in my community. I hope you are OK with me having shared a screenshot of it; I could not bare to let your words go unread by those fighting against these terroristic mandates against the people.

Please hang in there and know that there are a lot of others like you out there as well. There is a groundswell that will be taking place.

That's for sure. Still, I held on to my Nokia for longer than I would have thought. Ultimately, I needed the Didi taxi app to have any decent chance of hailing a taxi in Beijing, so switched back to an iPhone. My MIL then got it and used it until she broke it.

We talked about all those things in Microsoft at the time. Even the running android app solution, which I might have been roped in to work on if it wasn't shot down. The reasoning being that "running android apps would discourage people from writing WP apps", which wasn't wrong. My feeling on this is that Microsoft was just way too late, you need the right thing at the right time.
>As I already explained, the user has to opt in to share that data with Google.

As I have already explained, this has nothing to do with Google Pay whatsoever.

It doesn't matter who issues your card. Google made deals directly with Visa and Mastercard to buy your transaction data.

>as Google said in a blog post on its new service for marketers, it has partnered with “third parties” that give them access to 70 percent of all credit and debit card purchases.

Google has gone from spying on everything you do online, to spying on your offline behavior as well.

As for the rest of your errors. I'm afraid that I'm not willing to take the time to correct them individually.
Thanks! Could you point me at something concrete. :)
Anonymity makes abuse easier. It diminishes the cost to the abuser and places almost all of the cost on the victim. I would also recommend that you not be so quick to push the blame back on 'the community', because when you do so you tend to end up with the gatekeepers for those communities being forced to shoulder the cost and then we end up with twitter bans, Facebook moderation, and a lot of pearl clutching by the online free speech brigade. Most of the general pubic puts up with anonymity, but they certainly do not demand it and if it becomes too costly or too toxic they seem happy to chuck it overboard.

This is a really cool idea, especially because it is a type of NN that can take more time for harder inputs. This makes it relatively unique since most types of NN have O(1) runtime, which is often nice, but puts limits on the types of problems they can solve.
> if a date thinks I'm stupid because I ask them what a word means, so much so that they show it in their facial expression and/or tone of voice, I think it's pretty unlikely that we're compatible, so I view finding that out sooner rather than later as upside and not downside.

This generalises well... ultimately if being pretentious is valued over being genuine then it's probably not a valuable or healthy place for you to be, situation to be in, or person to be around.

For the other more common example of the intern/junior who fears looking stupid to their own detriment. Their only defence is that work places exist which _do_ actually prosecute people for asking "stupid" but useful questions - if they happen to be at such a workplace, it's not worth staying anyway.

Yeah, though that was hardly the worst of it. He himself was personally involved in horrific abuse of the natives -- so much so that the Spanish imprisoned him over it.

Lots of other people realized what Columbus had found, even though he never did. He was wrong about the size of the earth, and everybody knew it. So he managed to find something he had no reason to expect, and didn't understand it. Others did.
Neat! Signed up.
This is great to see on the front page and I hope it positively influences the culture here. HN is larger than it used to be and it's harder to ask "stupid sounding" questions and get meaningful, civil engagement than it used to be. You are more likely to get guff for it than used to be the case.

I fell in love with HN because of the quality of the discussion which was rooted in a sincere attitude of "There are no stupid questions" (assuming you were asking in good faith and not trolling or sea lioning or something like that).

And I'm not enjoying HN as much as I used to and I think part of it is I love asking the "stupid" questions and getting real answers from knowledgeable people and I feel like that's much harder to find than it used to be.

Ok thanks. Yeah I think that Turing came up with the best solution for detecting intelligence. If it passes that test then either the system is truly intelligent or a “zombie” which only appears intelligent. As mentioned in some other replies on this post, I think “zombies” are something created by philosophers but do not exist in real life. So i think the observation of intelligence is equivalent to actual intelligence.

Great example of making a ridiculous argument, a type of logical fallacy.

What you've done here is make what you're saying incomprehensible to others. Whereas you still knew my meaning when I used 'they'.

For some reason you thought this would bolster your argument.

You've used language how you please but have lost all its meaning. It's no longer language at that point. You still got my meaning though.
Here is a potentially dumb idea: Before someone can declare candidacy for a public office, they should pass an exam that tests them on general and basic knowledge on a wide variety of topics that proves that the person has some level of general awareness of tech that is so ubiquitous.
Makes a lot of sense, thanks. And are you typically finding these folks on LinkedIn? Job fairs? Conferences? Meetups?
> I mean both will significantly kill people in an accident.

Or, you know, when you literally said that it's no different:

> I assume you drove home after your exhausting day, which according to you is endangering others' lives, so what's different when you do it?

--

> You are saying it's ok to drive home exhausted in a car

Show me where I said that.

YOU are the one who claimed that driving exhausted in a truck is no different from driving exhausted in a car. They are EXTREMELY different. One is SIGNIFICANTLY more likely to end in a death, which is why that one has significantly more regulation, even though driving recklessly is illegal in any case.
It's mostly used for error bailing as nested if can be pretty dense to read and error prone.
It's a strange and very Double-Speak response to frame this as a political attack by the newspaper who found the flaw - and in particular the individual journalist.

The idea that a journalist is "attacking" by finding an issue worth bringing up _must_ be cognitive dissonance, right? Otherwise all investigation would be a form of assault? Either someone with an IQ below 80 became governor or this is purely a strategic response.

Strategy being? This prosecution will never hold up in court, and we all think the governor is an idiot. So the accomplished goal seems clear: Everyone is now saying this governors name.

I don't think that's what the author was getting at here - a compelling reason is that the value of the payout to fix your own car x the probability of it happening is lower than the total premium extra. Eg the "Insurance is only worth it for things you can't afford" mentality.

This also checks with the OP in this subthread: The insurance seller will always push for more coverage for self-interested reasons.
