Jitsu can multiplex events and send it to different destinations too. I admit, we don't have that much destinations as Segment (we support Amplitude, Hubspot, GA and Facebook). But we can send data to any HTTP-enpoint (see Webhook destination). Since the body of HTTP request is a JavaScript expression, with a little hacking you can support almost any service.

> Existing homeowners don’t want more “nice” places because it reduces the value of their own homes.

Well - what does that actually mean? I own a home, and I am not interested in a huge apartment building going up next door (for reasons that aren't property values) but I have no objection to the boundary of my town expanding, or a new town being established a little bit down the road. Yes sure those things will create competition for my home and lower my values in some way but it's just not something I or any other sane homeowner go around thinking about.

Nor frankly do I have any influence over that.
> I'd push hard at work for 9 hours a day, eat, then push hard on the side project for 8-9 hours a day, sleep, wake up, and just keep going. One day a week maybe I'd just sleep.

No wonder you feel like hell, where is time for people, leisure, exercising and all the other activities that will help you move faster by feeling better? The true optimization for becoming a more efficient person is to do less of the thing you're doing most of, and do more of the other stuff you do less of.
Good tips and different things work for different people.

I find that I need to find something that I think would take a week to build. Then accept the fact it's going to take 8 weeks to finish given i'm doing about one hour a day rather than 8.
> "Except they're building the most popular consumer VR headsets by far?"

While that statement may be true, its significance isn't as much as one may think. Remember the Blackberry? They owned the smartphone market - back when the market was extremely tiny and was primarily comprised of business executives. What made smartphones go mainstream? The iPhone.

The same may be true for VR headsets. Is the Oculus the most popular VR headset? I'll take your word that it is. However, I only know a handful of people who have a VR headset at all, and they're all über geeks. Like the Blackberry, the market is comprised of a non-representative sample of the population. Should VR headsets go mainstream it probably won't be the Oculus doing it - otherwise it probably already would have.

Will Metaverse make VR mainstream? I doubt it. The public doesn't simply trust Facebook enough for that and the public hasn't been very receptive to VR. I don't see the metaverse going anywhere.
I found the original “Indie Game: The Movie” very personally inspiring, the sequel less so. It’s a documentary about a number of indie game developers working really hard and risking it all to make it. The passion these people are pouring into their games is palpable.

“Mr. Robot” is great if you don’t mind it’s overdramatized dystopian atmosphere. Probably one of the most realistic use of computers in a TV show. It has ups and downs, some of its best and worst episodes are in its final season, it’s a pretty interesting roller coaster.

“Computer Chess” is a weird black and white fictional movie about people trying to build the best Chess AI in the 80s. I really enjoyed it. Does a great job capturing the vibe of the era.
In that case you didn’t say what you think you said - I think if you read your original post you will probably see how it looks like you are insisting they are done standing.

Paraphrasing, you said the reason it’s called a standup is because people are literally standing, to force people to talk quickly.

Then you said because of this OPs meeting wasn’t a standup.

But appreciate that isn’t what you intended.
Both the examples you give seem kind of arguable; I'd almost say they demonstrate the opposite.

The problem with VSCode's built-in Markdown previews is that they're not extensible, so there are a variety of alternate Markdown renderer plugins, for example to better work with the various wiki-like Markdown plugins. Emacs also has Markdown previewing, but it is extensible by design.

I'm not an expert in either VSCode or Emacs (I use both off and on), but inline image handling seems like it works better in Emacs. I've never figured out how to show Markdown images inline in the actual text editor part of VSCode (as opposed to the preview), whereas that's super easy in Emacs.
This sounds like an oncoming case of depression or possibly even a mild ongoing case. Also could be burnout or in addition to burnout.

> I can't possibly imagine going back to doing grocery shopping

I know, same here, it's so great. I used to have an annoying 30min detour 3 times per week, and now I do my grocery shopping on the phone for 5mins while I'm commuting. The time I save has gone into more cooking, and healthier meals. Delivery is definitely better than using a car. Nobody that already has a full time job should have to put up with such annoying chores.

But delivery services, and services related to house work has a big stigma in northern Europe, people think it's really important that "everyone cleans up their own mess" and you should not be able to "buy your way out". You see CEO:s in companies having kitchen duty doing dishes to get brownie points and you often get very negative reactions to using such services.
There are currently 720k unsold houses in the US alone[0]. How is building 100k more going to help anyone but builders?

There are probably other factors in play here rather than simple availability. Perhaps we should stop treating housing as an investiment?

Edit: not sure if I misunderstood your comment to mean that 100k more houses should be built in the US or elsewhere. My point still stands I believe.

I was working on a project recently combining ViteJS and React Router to make a NextJS alternative. Mostly so that I have more control about where I host it and not so Lambda/Vercel optimised.

I don't really see how you could "blow NextJS out of the water" though. As a concept, NextJS nails it with the simple directory structure, api endpoints, a nice mix of server side and client side rendering. There's not much else I'd want from a web framework feature wise.

> for Undo to be on control _ as on control z.

Well, Ctrl-_ is three keys; control, shift and _. However, Undo in Emacs is actually designed to be on the two-key combination Ctrl-/ and the fact that this key produces the same ASCII control code as Ctrl-_ is incidental.
How about we stop mangling metaphors and speak clearly?

Paying for software and the licensing terms are independent concepts.

We pay for OSS software for the projects where we find it advantages for us to have access to and contribute to the source code. We customize it, we fix bugs but also benefit from bug fixes done by the full-time developers who we pay to support it. We also control how it’s hosted.

We also use and license a bunch of other software where we never want access to its source control. We don’t care if it’s closed source and sometimes we prefer that we don’t host it and manage the IT resources.
The "contradiction", coincidentally the very same reason I wondered if you switched accounts, is your implication that the reasoning for the way things are is blindingly obvious, except for the exceptions obviously, but those are blindingly obvious too. Apologies, I didn't realize the rationale behind your posting; that straightforward explanatory paragraph clearly couldn't have been deployed without all the posturing, first.
Stuff like electric pairs, rainbow delimeters, rjsx-mode, prettier, and neotree are really all I use. I started using emacs because of auctex writing my master's thesis, and ended up switching from vim because of the experience. Once you know the basics about packaging (enabling melpa) and setting a comfortable theme you're pretty much ready to roll.
> I think this digital child managing system sounds moderately dystopian to be honest.

I think you misunderstand the point of the system. It's much more mundane than that. The system just replaces paper notices going home with kids and getting lost in their book bags, looking phone numbers to report you child out sick, etc. It's not brave new world, it's simply replacing paper and phone tasks with an app.
> That doesn’t make those tools part of the C standard, though

Full version numbers, pin your dependencies, commit dependencies to a local repo. Update them only when necessary (security patch, feature you need).
The AT_RANDOM bytes are designed to provide randomness to the loader when the program is loaded. I looked at glibc and it's using this for a random stack check canary (which is needed very early during dynamic loading), and not actually used for anything else.

glibc nulls out its internal pointer (_dl_random) after use so you can't easily get the pointer later, but of course it'd be a bad idea to try and use it.

As an Emacs user for ~10 years the greatest deterrent is it being single-threaded and lisp. I just can't understand the love for it. I've spent countless hours customizing my own configuration and I just can't enjoy lisp. Emacs's source code is also hard to understand and contribute to (let's not talk about lisp.h).

I'd rather have a new editor (or emacs fully re-written) with the same mindset as emacs - near-full customization via a modern scripting language (lua?) and/or c/cpp plugins, and text-centric. I don't care for fancy UI or buttons it could even have the same look and feel which I love
Yes the answer to the complaints above is Next.js + hooks + Typescript. Absolutely fine if that isn't your cup of tea, but let's not kid ourselves that a solution isn't already available.

Bizarre article. Calling out working class housing built in 1880 seems to ignore why it’s not longer a working class neighborhood - because it’s now in a prime location.
From my experience I hardly need the "real data" to investigate a bug. Most of the times I can understand the problem and reproduce the bug in the test environment based on production logs (like exceptions and stack traces).

If you really need more context to reproduce a bug, you can always try to anonimize the data before moving it out of the production environment, and delete the anonimized data from the test environment once the investigation finishes just to be on the safe side.

The New Yorker has some absolutely great pieces and a huge budget for journalism, but that said, I find their writers self-indulge a bit more than I find pleasant. The Walrus doesn't have as many block buster journalistic pieces, but the writing is strong and strikes a better balance between flourish and meat.
Correlation does not equal causation. Parents more involved in school are more likely to be involved at home more generally.
I just find it a little saddening although very understandable that at this point Emacs just simply isn't better for writing code than any Jetbrains product.

Yes I'm very aware that there are plugins, stand-alone terminal tools to integrate, language-server-protocol and all that... But it's just that Jetbrains tools have far deeper intelligence about your code. By default.

I tried hard to like Emacs, and I did end up liking it, I just don't know for what workflow.

Knowledge work? Obsidian

Working on large coding projects? Jetbrains IDEs

Working on scripts or quick edits? Sublime Text or sometimes vscode

Need to make a change to bla.config from the terminal? (n)vim

I think the only advantage Emacs really still has to offer nowadays is that it's general enough to be able to do all of the above very well to quite well. None of those tools comes close enough to be able to do all of those workflows. Yes you can force sublime or vim into becoming a workstation for all of the above, but then it will become very bloated and slow.

It also doesn't help that Emacs is very archaic. I can teach you Obsidian, Sublime and vs code in a day, I can teach you jetbrains IDEs in a month, but it will take me years to teach you to use emacs effectively.
no, there's a separate "friend mode" which in theory is only used for finding friend. I'm not 100% sure (never used the friend mode), but I guess you can specify sex also in that mode (of course that can be specified for the dating part of the app).
I'm not the OP, and not so opinionated. But (as the parent of an elementary school kid) I can see where the sentiment is coming from. I'm not familiar at all with this Swedish Skolplattform, but from the description in the article, it sounds to me like a solution (or maybe a city budget) in search of a problem. It's pretty unclear what the purpose and scope of this Skolplattform is.

The article description of the open-source alternative reads

> The app shows school calendars and events such as music concerts, a daily schedule for pupils, notifications from teachers that link out to grades and news updates, food that’s being served in cafeterias, and an option to report if children are sick.

Apart from privacy sensitive student specific stuff like grade reports (which our school does on paper), it seems all this stuff can be published just as well on the school website, email lists and/or paper brochures. I really don't see the need for a separate phone app here.

Our school does have a school-specific app for some limited school <-> parent and parent <-> parent messaging, and scheduling the occasional parent-teacher meetings. In my experience it doesn't do anything better than plain old email.
Totally agree. Had a couple of local drunkards come through an unlocked window to steal things years ago and could never shake the creepy factor. Broke the lease and moved early a couple weeks later.
Combating disinformation with humility
In a nut shell, yes, but I'd modify the groupings: 1) Passionate people that rally others, 2) everyone else.

Whether you utterly don't care, midly care but not enough to do anything, or care enough to do something only when someone goes first, it is the passionate people that preach to the choir because that's how you get them to sing.
Aside from zoning, there's also wealth disparity. What do I mean? My local historic neighborhoods are beautiful, walkable, with modest houses, and the most expensive place in town by a long sight. People are buying up adjacent properties, knocking everything down, and building big, fancy houses on the merged plots. Essentially, thanks to tremendous wealth, people are inserting suburban houses & attempting to have it all - large modern house in cute old walkable neighborhood. The end game, unfortunately, is obvious.

Personal opinion - the governor themself should be the one to push the drugs/button/trigger that kills the death row inmate.

get.

And, it's something you or the child can't help. It's all determined by genetics, at least 50% I've read, but I personally think it's more.

I mean, two children to the same married couple, everything identical. The first kid right shortly after birth, maybe 6 months, is always happy, smiling, gurgling, sleeps through the night, holds arms up to anyone in order to get picked up. A baby that everyone loves.

The next kid cries all the time, distrusting, doesn't want to get picked up, as gets old, hides behind parents' lets when a new person comes in, never smiles. Despite everything the parents to to help.

And both of them are like this way from birth. So it has to be genetics rather than learned behavior.

Plus, if you have boys right now, that would be even worse luck. Only 40% of males are going to university, constantly sexually harass women, make for toxic workplace environments, etc. They will consistently get the message that they are are toxic and the cause of everything wrong in the world. And since mine would be white children, you get the whole white male children are 100X worse than climate change, murder, disease put together, and are probably the source of the pandemic, tsunamis, and volcanoes that have killed millions of people already. So they would give up on life and sit around playing video games in your house until they are 45 years old.

That's why I never would have children. Knowing my luck, the "bad" child is the exact child that I would get. Probably two in a row, though. Life would be hell on earth for 18+ years, in the prime of one's life.
This is kind of a surprisingly myopic/inflammatory comment to see on HackerNews. Both systems have their pros and cons, and people tend to be biased to prefer the one they learned first or worked extensively with first. And you don't have to choose; most languages nowadays support elements from both paradigms.

But honestly there's nothing even to argue, cause the comment doesn't really say anything.
I personally love Vim because once you know how to work it, you can code extremely quickly. You don’t really even need any macros (though they can make you even faster) — I find the default commands to be fast enough that I consider vim to be an “expert interface” for text editing.

Also love the VS Code vim plug-in.

You're not wrong regarding SIP, however, having spent time wrapping my head around it; a SIP video door bell, on a typical /24 residential home network, could simply direct-dial a single computer w/o a SIP server, running MicroSIP (on windows) or Linphone (On Linux). You'd probably have to disable DHCP. If you wanted to connect from multiple devices/computers, then the asterisk setup for that is not TOO bad, it would be a few entries to define the endpoints + passwords, and another few lines to make a call from one ring all the others.

I think I've seen an article in the past but can't find it now - and maybe it changes at Apple's scale - but those kind of high-quality, precision-made boxes with that kind of vacuum effect you get opening them are astronomically expensive and will dwarf the costs of almost all consumer products that you'd put in them.
