> My experience has taught me that tools become better the more people use them and are able to participate in their creation and maintenance. The more user friendly a tool is, the more users you'll have. Personally, I think a tool can be very user friendly and still powerful enough for advanced users.

I've taken the approach that rather than try to shoehorn my use into a full app, I aim for my text editor to be as small as possible, by reusing external tools whenever possible, as I do agree with you that it's worthwhile to have as much as possible of the code used by other people. But at the same time I realised there are editors smaller than my old Emacs config. So e.g. my editor relies on bspwm to split panes, and on rofi (or anything that can take a list of things to choose from and return the chosen thing) to select files or themes or buffers, Rouge for syntax highlighting, and anything that I can make generic enough I'm splitting into gems (the editor itself is written in Ruby). The way I see it, I want the editor to be a tiny little core that's mostly configuring other components. Currently it's about ~2.6kloc, but much of that is code that can be split out or will disappear as I clean some things up. I don't want it to get much bigger than that - preferably it'll get smaller.

> I used a very similar setup to yours before I started Zellij! The reason I started the project was in order to be able to formalize such a setup (for me it was implemented as a soup of bash scripts which I dreaded moving to another machine, not to mention handing to another user).

The big limiting factor for me with something like Zellij over my current setup would be having it work alongside e.g. Chrome and the occasional other gui app.

> One of the things we want to do with Zellij is port it to the web and maybe even in the future to use it as a sort of "backend" to power tiling window managers. I'd be totally open to do this in a standardized way if maintainers of other tiling managers are game.

If you provide a mechanism that allows a client to split panes already, then maybe the easiest starting point is for someone to just pick a config location/format tools can look for a command line to do splits in. E.g. on bspwm, the command given to split horizontally might simply be sh -c 'bspc node -p east ; exec #{cmd}' &. On i3wm, the same would be i3-msg 'split horizontal; exec #{cmd}'. Currently my editor just blindly executes "split-horizontal re --buffer numeric-id-of-the-buffer", and I have a "split-horizontal" script in my ~/bin. It'd be trivial enough to have it read a config file to find out what command to execute instead.
I didn't meant it as a snowflake argument. I love criticism, I'm an overachiever, you can never give me enough challenges. But some people are not bringing anything valuable, it's just diverted negative emotions that will grind you. If the situation is tough, I accept tough critics, if the situation is normal then i want friendly or smart. The rest is toxic uncalled for noise.
> This sounds like credit, but not credit origination. If new units of the numeraire are created, that is origination akin to a bank loan.

New units of stablecoins are being created out of thin air, but the catch is that they can only be used on the exchange (technically, it could be spent else where if other contracts wanted to use it), and if there is a shortage of actual stablecoins when someone tries to withdraw their credit balance, they will receive debt tokens that are redeemable from the exchange for stablecoins at an interest (collateral requirements will be raised for all actors if credit balance > stablecoin balance, and lowered when the opposite is the case).

> What do you mean by 'borrow collateral into existence'?

In this case, in order for the credit balance for an address to increase typically, a user will need to deposit stablecoins into the exchange and their credit balance gets incremented by the same amount (their credit balance is used to buy derivatives).

However, in the case where a liquidity pool is borrowing from the exchange, the credit balance is increased for the liquidity pool without stablecoins being deposited by the pool (typically a pool will need to have stablecoins deposited into it by liquidity providers in order for the credit balance of the pool to increase, the credit balance of the pool is used as collateral write/buy derivatives).
I don't think it's "learned helplessness". It is a rational, calculated tradeoff decision. In many situations, it is more painful to fix the underlying layers of technical debt, and more time consuming to fight the push back from the various teams that own different parts of the technical stack. It's far easier to just silence the pagers while on pager duty for that week.

It's also caused by misaligned incentives. At most BigCo, people don't get promoted for fixing technical debt. They get promoted for launching shiny new features and products.
Apartments are great, unless you want a yard, a large family, to let your parents[-in-law] move in so you can take care of them, a large dog, more than two cats, more pets than the property owner has arbitrarily decided to allow, equity, a barbecue, frequent parties, or the ability to not have to pay rent or a mortgage someday. Buying apartments is not the norm, nor are ones large enough for a family with more than 1 or 2 kids.
This is an interesting idea! Some graduated tax rate for the number of dwellings + properties that way a second home or small time landlord can own say a dozen properties before the marginal taxes take too much of the marginal profits. What efficiencies are we giving up in this model?
For custom forms and actions everything should be handled on the backend API including the DB changes.
You'll also have to deal with every Google-branded site screaming at you for daring to use something other than Chrome.
Never had a chance to try it, but my first reaction to the Hololens announcement was exactly that. Being able to have your physical input devices in view whilst still seeing an overlay of your screen. It's prohibitively expensive though.
GPL does not differentiate between beta and not. You use GPL code - you release anything build on top of it. Simple as that. Anyone can request a copy of their source and should get it. Doesn’t matter if it’s in beta or not as long as it’s licensed under GPL. Even if it’s internal software. Don’t like it - go build from scratch and use some other software but don’t break the license agreement just because you are lazy and can’t be bothered to write your own code.
Where ?

A big part of why Los Angeles is a living hell for most people is due to rapid recent increases in rent.

LA is this disgusting place where a very very small number of people are doing exceptionally well, and almost everyone is either homeless or half a paycheck away from that.

The only saving grace is these obscene rent increases appear to be isolated to a few select markets. In most of America you haven’t seen anything like the rent inflation normal in Los Angeles. If possible, consider moving. These issues have come about over the last 30 years, they won’t be fixed in the next three.

I moved out of LA my cost of living dropped by about 30% overnight, and it was much easier to meet nice people. I’ve long considered writing a book about just how much moving to a different city can fix your life. Most behavior is ultimately economic, if you and no one you know can get their lives together and move out, none well.

In LA this spirals into a nasty entitlement complex, leading to various yucky situations better avoided.
The current system of promoting cars above all other forms of transportation is more regressive than road pricing would be. Vehicle ownership and miles traveled are positively correlated with income. People with lower income are more likely to be reliant on underfunded public transportation that gets stuck in traffic (i.e. busses) caused by higher income drivers. Not to mention all the other externalities like pollution that cars cause, which disproportionately affect lower income neighborhoods.
It's not much different today. Nowadays you'll also need privacy review, accessibility review, security review, and diversity & inclusion review.
Ask HN: How would you get in touch with startup founders to share your product?
Trying to scale https://get.mymfa.io and I feel that companies that could benefit the most from the service would be:
1) small companies building a QA team (or outsourcing it)
2) startups (fintechs) getting ready to submit their app to the App Store with a Two-Factor Authentication mechanism.

I am having a hard time trying to figure out a channel to communicate efficiently to potential customers.

Thank you very much in advance for your time!
That’s fair but if someone is concerned about it they should invest into backups. It’s unconscionable to entrust days of someone’s work to a single device.
I'm not sure why small unprofessional landlords should be allowed to mistreat their tenants. Being a small landlord still puts you in a position of power over somebody else

> However, established science has been wrong before about things there was a consensus on.

As time goes on, this is something that only becomes more rare. How many established scientific consensus's proven wrong can you think of in the past 30 years?

That is the nature of science. We aren't going to discover that, all along the world was actually flat. Similarly, we aren't going to discover that global warming isn't real or evolution doesn't exist.

Some areas of science have unbelievable amounts of evidence of support. Yet you often find those facts to be challenged the most when the come in conflict with profits (the fossil fuel industry).
macOS Mojave Homebrew: is restoring support for prebuilt binaries worth effort?
He was a part of a group of people with similar socialist and anti-modern opinions, who were patronized by wealthy capitalists and their wives. One of the things that fascinate me is the relation between William Morris and Arnold Dolmetsch, a similarly-inclined socialist and pioneer of historically-informed musical performance of works from the Baroque and pre-baroque periods. Morris insisted that Dolmetsch's performances were almost the only music he could bear to hear.
As far as cheap goes, if you want an actual degree, I would look into WGU.

It's not a great program, but it is as cheap or cheaper than a community college if you put the work in and you get a lot of industry certifications along the way.

Some very knowledgeable and dedicated people have gone from no / little college credit to a full Bachelors or even in one case a Masters degree in a single semester.

Their process is 1 course at a time, you can test out based on competency or previously attained college credits or certifications, and you can go through the courses as quickly as you feel competent in the subject.
Has anyone actually overcome any of these bad situations? Or has there been a situation where “So and so quit because X, we need to change X.”

You can’t change an org from the outside, but it’s also difficult to change it from the inside.

Well then you're talking about a completely different scenario than I am.

> I am confused why people are so outraged at the idea that some part of selecting people to work with may be based on whether you get along with them.

Because in large companies you will not work with the people that hired you.

Many successful sport teams were composed by people who openly disliked each other, there's no reason to be likeable if you are not being paid to be liked by others, but there are many reasons to cooperate to the end goal if the team members' salaries depend on it.

For many people being likable in the way it is represented in the article it's more stressful and energy draining than the job itself.

I would go as far as to say that people that can't go through first impressions and work together with someone they don't particularly like (except of course if it's for good reasons) aren't good team members.

But they tend to select each other to not feel alone in being bad team members.
Don't all browsers do this? Even Firefox asks to be your default browser when you first open it... and then every time there's an update it conveniently "forgets" this preference so you get asked again.
I think you’re misinterpreting Arrow there. Even a voting method that requires cardinal information entails that voters be able to say which one they prefer between two candidates.

As for how a ballot capturing cardinal methods be reduced to ordinal ones: it depends on the ballot. Can you give an example of a cardinal ballot that does not induce an order or otherwise implies something about a voter’s preferences (assuming they were voting sincerely)?
s76 blogged that they're working towards manu of their own laptop machines soon rather than the clevo stock, so that value might change soon.

Then again, their tower is exorbitant, so...maybe not.
Propagandistic as hell to boot.

They're light, and convey very little actual information, most of that incidentally.
That is indeed what Krugman is saying. It's pretty clear:

> "How does the Apple TV series (of Foundation) turn this (the novel, Foundation) into a visually compelling tale? It doesn’t. What it does instead is remake "Star Wars"

And having seen the Foundation show, having read the Foundation book and seen the Star Wars movie, I think he (Krugman) has a point.
This should be dated 2018 in the title. Very old news in tech terms.
A place to store all the interesting articles found online
Hi,
I'm looking for a place where to store all the interesting articles I find online and maybe see what other users find online.
Up to now I used Twitter (https://twitter.com/nerusskyhigh) and LinkedIn but judging from other's posts I think this may not be the intended usage.
I don't want to use bookmarks because they'd cluster my already long list of saved sites and, a plain text file risks being lost or becoming too large to maintain. Any advice or useful site to share?
As the author of an open source DAW that already supports non-4/4 time ...

first of all, there are some annoying details to even get as far as the full scope of western metric notation. For example, compound time: 6/8 does not mean "6 eighth notes per bar", even though there's a growing body of DAW-trained young people who seem to think that it does.

But "worse" (harder, is perhaps a better phrase), dealing non-western concepts of meter requires moving beyond "just divide it however is needed". A relatively simple case would be music from the Balkan/Byzantine cultures, which are much better represented using a notation form like [ 3L + 2S + 3L ] ("3 long beats, 2 short beats, 3 long beats"). There is a great deal of music from around the world that uses this structure, and even if a western notation like 8/N migh theoretically capture this, it doesn't contain the information required to play it.

Moving to even harder metrical forms, Carnatic and Hindustani talas are always conceived on in their own cultures as rhythmic cycles that cannot be decomposed to simple western notation. Even teental, perhaps the most widespread and maybe the simplest, is not usefully representable using western time signatures (it consists of a cycle of 16 beats, where the timbre of the beats creates rhythmic motion and structure).

FWIW, I hope to add the [ N + M + P ] form to Ardour in the not (too) distant future.
Oh yeah for querying it’s great and more so with power query now built in.
I've used Toxiproxy to reproduce so many issues that I can't be thankful enough to authors for this awesome tool! I also found a docker based UI to adding toxics I just wish it ships out of box or as another binary/brew package. While cli is awesome for people who have mastered it for beginners it's one more thing to learn, having a UI just solves that.
Oh, what do I love .txt files. I use them for all kinds of simple checklists, logs, and basically everything.
I had a manager once (not in the software field though) and she asked me annoyed why I kept using these strange files, and if I wanted to "just use Word and .doc files because that was more safe and compatible". I wasn't able to explain that text files were there and will be there for a long time. She also didn't understand the difference between a text file and a document. Not even when I pointed her to the .txt in the filename.
> That's true for roads and mass transit. Ideally, as the population grows, you expand both

Difference is that mass transit benefits substantially from scale, with cost per rider dropping with ridership increases. Road networks, not so much.

Kickstarting the process is a little tricky. But just about every other developed country has managed it, I’m sure the US can figure it out too.
I bet you're fun not only at parties but lectures as well.
I think you are mistakenly assuming they will be successful selling 7000 houses for $400,000 each.

In a world where the likes of blackrock are up to their eyeballs in bad Chinese real estate deals already that seems unlikely.
You mean that landlords face some level of restriction in simply tossing people onto the street. The people on the other side of the transaction are at risk for their life while the landlord is at risk for their aspirations to the upper class.

I'd also point out that "investments" in a "free market" aren't supposed to be risk-free. If the landlord can't hack it, whelp that's their problem as a speculative investor.
>” You will find that most beef eat a mixture of grass and maize, often 100% of the former but almost never 100% of the latter.”

That fact appears to be wrong or misleading. Often 100% grass is not true in the Us

In the US something like 85% of beef spends a significant portion of their lives on feedlots where 70-90% of the feed is grain and protein concentrates.
Honestly pre-2008 spending time online was pretty niche. I spent maybe a couple hours a day max on MySpace and LiveJournal and maybe a couple of forums once or twice a week. This was between pirating music and burning CDs for friends in high school which gave me a pretty high score on the nerd-index.

I was listening to a podcast on Flat Earthers and the host basically traced the explosion of True Believers to the advent of the smartphone circa 2008 onwards; suddenly hundreds of millions more people were spending hours a day online.
Sure, but I think this sort of grandstanding doesn't serve the conversation well. We're talking about realistic, incremental policy changes here. The kind of stuff that hopefully solves the problem at hand while limiting the blast radius of what could go wrong. Throwing away how property ownership works in most of the world would likely cause large scale shocks and I think it's disingenuous to suggest these kind of things in a conversation about municipal policies.

The reactor out in Idaho was designed and built as Chicago Pile-4 and was only placed in Idaho because our there it couldn’t blow up around anything that mattered.

I’m not sure a reactor designed, built and operated by scientists at the university of Chicago has much to do with Idaho.

Note: as a native Chicagoan and a lover of nuclear energy, I take this stuff overly seriously :)
The fun should come from solving fundamentally difficult problems, not from someone fucking up a CRUD response because they didn't properly test their filter parsing.
And I take it google has done wide ranging scientific studies about the variations in coding styles and language constructs that it is a secret advantage that they know how to write "readable" code? Implying they tried a bunch of diffrent ways until settling on the one true way that allows a diverse set of people with diverse experiences to read it?

Ever heard of COBOL?

Because readability has always been in the eye of the beholder, and codifying it makes it even worse.
I'm not sure what "volumes" you're talking about. Those scripts already risk being broken and causing maintenance burden by depending on the non-standard behavior in the first place. If you actually had this specified in your dependencies then it would be easy to spot the necessary change and fix it.

I did that early on. Then again, because the next place was the same. Then again, because the next place was the same. 10 places later, I finally realized they're all the same.
There's been a big investment in server platforms that strive to enable SWEs to build a new service that follows Best Practices with as little knowledge and handholding as possible. These consist of conformance tests that yell at you while you're coding if you are trying something generally thought to be bad, and semi-automated workflows that help you bring your code to production. When everything works as intended, the production workflows set up a decent set of alerts, acquire resources, configure CI/CD pipelines, and launch your jobs with just a few button presses on your part. (In practice, one of the steps will probably require debugging, but eh, it seems way better than the broccoli man video.)
His point was that the professional worked in a different specialty and also doesn't care about the work being performed. Take the average web programmer and tell him to program something in Roblox vs. an enthusiastic teen and see who produces what.

> Biphasic sleep is still quite popular but it tends to be framed as taking a nap rather than as a 24-hour sleep regimen.

That's right! here in the warmer and highly humid states of Mexico (mainly in the Yucatan peninsula) the Siesta is very popular. A lot of people sleep between 3pm and 5pm (when the heat and humidity are higher) and wake up early in the morning around 5pm . I never got used to sleep siesta, as always woke up groggy.
Because the patient would still wind up living longer than they would have otherwise. Would you rather die of cancer in six months or from a different cancer 10 years from now? Many people would prefer the latter.

I agree, but I will go one step further: It is also the responsibility of the science reporters to not filter out the truth about what we don't know and don't understand. That part's important. Don't skip it to make the story sexier or more viral.

In fact, I wonder if more of the responsibility for the recent problems is on the reporters, rather than the scientists.
