You don't have to be a social butterfly to be liked. You just mainly shouldn't be an asshole.

And the key is to consistently not be an asshole, otherwise those things will accumulate and you will eventually get rejected. (I'm not accusing you of being an asshole.) If you're nice 90% of the time, but lash out or say shitty things 10% of the time, that's more than enough to get eventually rejected.

My son, unfortunately, is like this. 95% a sweet kid but 5% really, really shitty and saying mean things. We are working on it. He started out immensely popular but over the course of this school year, his classmates look at him lukewarm now, instead of being his close friends, and it's entirely his issue.
Someone who is friendly but incompetent is fun to shoot the shit with, but they will also make a commit that breaks prod and duck out for the weekend leaving you to fix the mess. Less competence ultimately means more burden and headache for those that are more competent, and at the end of the day, I value having coworkers who I can rely on more than having coworkers who are easy to talk to.
I think that section of the page could be improved to look less confusing.

Linus calls this trading old bugs for new bugs, and is vehemently against introducing commits that may introduce new bugs, no matter the severity of the bug that the commit squashes.
Do-nothing scripting: the key to gradual automation (2019)
Fedora Silverblue in particular has changed my workflow, but I came from Ubuntu and I felt like I was lost in an entirely new world so some friends of mine helped me cobble together a set of scripts.

So if you come from Ubuntu and want to give Fedora a shot but you need Ubuntu images, versions, etc then this might help you!

I would put python in this category.

Back in the RoR days, python had a very second class status in the web community. There were some famous web 2.0 companies that are using django. All the limelight was on Rails.

These days, python is probably the second most popular langauge for after JavaScript in number of repos and maybe the go-to language for first time Devs.

(Thanks to Zed Shaw)

And there are significantly more people doing web app dev with Python now than with Ruby
It's cool to see this doing so well. I remember when it launched on HN and got a ton of criticism.
I'm waiting for this to happen:

1. Find myself writing another BASH script in the future

2. Remember this article, go find it

3. Observe that my particular error state does not naturally fall in any of the categories

Why do I expect this? Because that's what always happens, perhaps?

Yeah, could be. And flying a balloon from Sri Lanka to Nashik(while crossing ocean) and back again would have been an achievement in itself during that period.
Yes - this is very much on the roadmap. Any specific UI you're thinking of?
Eh, you can't reconcile 'nobody reads all that text on dialog boxes' with 'using names like "Developer Tools" just drives people away who are not interested in being labeled "developers"'. I seriously doubt people care all that much about what menu labels say, as long as they are roughly descriptive. What next, making some menu items pink because women are shown to be less likely to press on them? This way lays madness.

You have a good point about not needing to explain how all that stuff works, because developers are expected to seek out and read documentation and tutorials.

Making tools more accessible in that sense necessarily makes them less powerful, and there is too much dumbing down going on as it is...

> that *SOME* people don't want to maintain it

FTFY. There are people who want to keep using X and the only solution to that is to maintain it as code wont be maintained by itself. The entire point of open source/free software is that if anyone wants to fix/implement something they're free to do so, so for as long as someone wants to keep using X and has the necessary know-how (or the time and will to learn), X will be around.

I am not sure if it’s a good thing that humans collaborate with awful humans.

It’s a great service of Social media which exposes how awful humans are. How hateful, vengeful and violent seemingly normal people can be.

I think it’s a good thing that humans have fractured and awful people are separated from non awful people.

There is only harm towards nature and humans (mostly non awful/non aggressive humans) when there is lots of human collaboration.

Instead of de-carbonization, we need a technological and political decoupling of human beings. That’s the only hope for humanity and all the innocent flora and fauna of earth.

De-globalization is too far too late. We are on the no point of return from absolute and rapid annihilation of nature and humanity.
Comments like this make it seem like it’s all figured out.

Everyone’s situation is different based on income (sounds like you are high income too - which makes choosing where to deposit cash easier), location, family/living requirements, current net worth, job stability, partner income, etc...

It is very possible too your friend made the better decision. There was a time where stocks and house prices going up was different and the world was not in a 10 year plus aggressive bull market.

Ultimately, you do what’s right for you.
> I'm actually excited for hedge funds and financial institutions nail this process down and houses are both 1) very liquid, and 2) priced "correctly". Moving when you own a house will be as easy as moving when you're renting

Once financial institutions get it nailed down, they’ll be selling to each other in large tranches based on the strategies and target asset mixes of different funds, because the transaction costs are lower than doing piddling individual sales, interacting with the remaining individual owners only to buy inventory into the institutional system, and for individuals all that will be left is renting through management companies employed by the institutions.

As someone from Europe, this! It’s extremely annoying the way American drivers stop when you’re trying to cross the road. The 2-body problem of planetary motion under gravity would not have been solved if the planets kept stopping for each other.

> That’s not accurate. Trademark law does require active policing and enforcement, and failure to enforce a trademark can be grounds for losing it.

Do you have some actual examples of this? Trademarks which were cancelled not for lack of use (a real reason) but for lack of enforcement ? I don't think that's a thing, which is why I'm asking.

It's true that genericisation is at least a potential threat, although I think many businesses would say that's a great problem to have (your mark can't become generic if people aren't familiar with it, and if they're familiar with it that means you sure have sold a whole lot of product, the real examples of genericisation are famous successful companies such as Xerox or Hoover, hardly stories of failure).

But also this isn't about genericisation anyway. Mere mentions aren't actionable. That's what is insidious about it, you can sue people who are no threat to your mark at all, and the likes of Disney do that all the time. But you can't (successfully) sue people who mention your mark in a way that just contributes to eventual genericisation.

It's ironic that you mention China. Chinese military intelligence is routinely contracted by Chinese businesses to conduct industrial espionage.

Chinese military efforts in the South China Sea are all about controlling shipping and oil extraction - for profit.

Chinese military control of Hong Kong was important to control that financial capital and the in/out flows of cash from China.

Chinese military threats to Taiwan are important because of the vast wealth and industrial knowledge base in Taiwan.

We live in a new era, where gov't, finance, and tech, are increasingly consolidating power to form super-national power structures.
Same thing happened with Tom Cruise a while back. He fired his publicist and started to go on interviews, and it turns out he's fucking wacky. He was jumping on couches on Oprah and laughing maniacally, and doing other really weird stuff. People were shocked, and his star dropped for a couple of years.

Lesson learned. Keep your mouth shut and let people think you're stupid, instead of opening it and confirming it.

REPL is pretty similar to jupyter. Julia works well with jupyter, but if you like notebooks, you should definitely look at Pluto. It's a reactive notebook so it automatically tracks cell dependencies and makes it so your notebook is never in an inconsistent state.
This thing was like the coolest/rarest thing back then, it was almost legendary cause no one had seen one but everyone rumored they existed.

I had various Sun & SGI workstations at my internships in the 1990s.. all these machines were just cool. The SGI Indy wasn't super impressive but the fact it had a video camera was pretty insane in 1996 or so when we saw them. People were so enamored of the video camera if you had an Indy in the lab at your office people will take so many videos/pictures with it that they'd fill its disk space up. A lot of people I knew had their first digital picture of themselves by getting one from an Indy, cause digital cameras were horrible & stupid expensive at that point. The O2 was a pretty amazing machine too.

There's something retro cool about the new Apple Silicon Macs, it's like we've returned to the days of RISC Unix machines finally. Different OSes and Platforms were much more diverse back then and it contributed to a real sense of wonder when you got to work with a really unique computer. A lot of that is lost today where it seems like 99% of everything is Windows, OSX, or Linux. My first job we were testing on like 15 different versions of Unix + Windows NT.
I never understand these complaints about homebrew. Of course, that's because I set

Is it a bad default? Sure, probably, spooky-action-at-a-distance is not great. But it's just a default, if you don't like it, change it, one line of shell config is simpler switching distros.
That’s fine as long as the external funding is being used to invest in capital / production - see Amazon where their years being criticised for being unprofitable but just supported by external VC funds (if you ignored that the funds were being used to buy capital and expand) quickly turned into one of the most profitable companies in the world.
Mozilla "inside agent" here. (Not really, but I work for Mozilla. Don't speak for them etc.) I didn't consider downvoting, but since you mentioned it below it would kind of make sense, since much of what you say here is objectively false. But you're raising legitimate concerns, so I have no reason to prevent your post from being seen.

Mozilla is very open about what is collected, and all of it can be turned off. We'd really rather you not lock in insecure versions; until you've worked on a browser, you won't believe how active and pervasive the attacks are. As a developer, I'll also say that the internal process for adding any additional collection is pretty heavyweight. Even if you're just collecting the distribution of garbage collection time slices, you need to go through a privacy data review.

Mozilla spells out its data collection policies at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/ (first DDG hit for "mozilla privacy", which is how I found it). If something there is unclear, or you have reason to believe we're a bunch of scheming liars and you have the receipts to prove it, please let me know.

Firefox Suggest is a calculated tradeoff to provide more functionality in exchange for sending more data, but again it's totally configurable if you disagree with the tradeoff.

I honestly don't know what you're going on about with "Mozilla's comments on v94's webpage", so I can't respond to that.

I will assert that Mozilla is very much not going the way of the rest of the industry, and we are in fact being very conscious to carve out a different path. Which isn't easy. But if you have the degree of distrust conveyed by your message, then please don't use Firefox. It's not doing you or us any favors.

It's fine to call out specific problems and gaps though. Feedback is good, and anyone interested enough to seriously look at this is welcome to get involved with the Mozilla project and contribute to improving this stuff.
It is a seller market, and it is probably gonna stay that way for some time. The only properties I am considering buy are those located in vacation places. You can still find good deals, and you can easily repay by renting them out for few months a year.

I will only consider buying a property in a major urban city only if I had to live there basically for ever. Otherwise I will keep renting. Prices in major EU cities, like the rest of the world are insane compared to the level of income, even for wealthy engineers.

> and to TUN the long tail of nodes for which NAT traversal doesn't work. There is no true P2P on today's NAT'ed Internet.

The bigger problem, which affects all nodes even if they can establish direct connectivity, is just the bandwidth requirements of true P2P videoconferencing once you have more than a few participants in the meeting. People often find out that even a connection marketed as "1Gbit fibre" likely has unacceptable loss/delay/jitter once they try to transmit, say, 50Mbit/s of UDP at a high packet rate to a variety of international destinations at the same time.

Genetically it doesn't make sense to privilege one ancestor or ancestral line as 'their origin', over others that are merely 'mixed in'. They're all just ancestors. Take Paul for example, is his ancestry Atreides, or whatever Jessica's background is*? He's just as much her son as he is Leto's.

> All of which exist in plant based food too.

Yeah of course, that's why I think the modern take on vegetarianism/veganism is bs, every trend is corrupted by consumerism and the easiest way to make a profit is selling processed food (mostly byproducts of other industries) with a "vegan" sticker on it

> specifically overeating plant based foods

Can't find anything about that, any sources ? I can find dozen of studies linking meat over consumption to obesity and health issues in general, a few linking plant based diets to lower risk of getting overweight/obese but none linking vegetarianism to obesity.

> Diabetes isn’t caused by meat, it’s caused by sugar

Oh don't worry, they also add sugar to meat based processed food, they add sugar to pretty much everything. Ah, and you're wrong:

I doubt it, the average american already it 120+kg of meat a year... and it's strongly associated to all kind of health issues already.

Ive read, listened and watched many versions of both the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. Of the two, the latter is the superior story in every way. Most importantly for me, the characters. I hope I won’t offend anyone’s religious sensibilities when I say the main character of the Ramayana is a bit dull, one dimensional and treats his wife terribly.

The Mahabharata has its share of misogyny, but it has a couple of fantastic characters - Karna and Bheeshma. It’s worth reading for these two alone.

“The only thing worth reading about is the human heart in conflict with itself”. These two exemplify that principle, whereas I found it absent in the Ramayana.

Professors depend on grant money and they need to push out papers to be competitive in grant applications. The vast, vast majority of work in research is done by grad students. Without students, professors would have to do everything themselves or compete with industry for talent they can't afford.

Students by contrast need professors for training and advice. Whether they receive these from their advisor depends on the lab. In bigger labs junior students learn more from senior students and post-docs than professors.
