_What if they want to sleep on the street?_
Let's start by sheltering as many people as we can, and when our problem becomes "too many empty beds", then we can move on to that problem.

_Where do we build them?_
I bet there are choices we can make that house 100+ people for every 1 person who is mildly inconvenienced.

_Are there barriers to living in these dorms?_
No.
I dunno, the linux kernel is pretty big and centralized by that definition, probably a monorepo by some definitions. I don't think this is a square peg round hole problem, I think that the operations that git must do coupled with the inevitable massive files that every company shoves into their repos (assets, binaries, you name it) makes git chug quite a bit.
And if you know javascript and html you are 100% fluent in any sort of hyperscript, which is just js expressions.
I don’t doubt such jobs exist, though I haven’t read the book. I don’t know how prevalent they are, though? A sibling comment casts some doubt on it [1].

But what we can say, thanks to the pandemic, is that many parents and children are very unhappy when schools close, and that there is a shortage of medical staff.

There also seem to be shortages of various kinds of workers that are “essential” but not well-paid. Arguably they should be paid better.

Is Keto Strong Canada Worth [$] to You?
As we presumably know all thing have their dreadful properties so the thing may be said about Keto Strong Canada. What sorts of issues you can take a gander at in view of the usage of this improvement? A critical weight of the ketogenic diet is the risk of keto flu that occurs considering the inferior quality of BHB. However, the upgrade has incredible BHB so you may not face the risk of keto flu as well. A couple of protections are necessitated that you ought to bear in mind and guarantee that you are not using this upgrade if your situation is planning with any of these conditions.

Except instead of config files, Windows has the registry.

Also, as mentioned by the siblings to thia comment, the 'mess' has a purpose, and is less messy than it appears.

Want to manually install something? Into /usr/local it goes. Done.

The only way to handle this that I've been really impressed with is Mac's "Applications" folder. Unfortunately, I dislike most other things about Mac.
There are decentralized monorepos, such as gecko-dev (https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev), which presumably has several forks in products like Iceweasel.

I think the monorepo workflows which Git isn't good at are things like branching, code review, and feature/version management. But there's no reason that Git should have to be slow just because a repository is large. It's more things like "merge commits don't scale in a monorepo", which I would agree with, but that's not related to the performance of the index data structure.
This critique all seems completely non-sequitur to me.

Graeber emphasized strongly and explicitly that he saw his Bullshit Jobs framework as a first rough attempt that he hoped would inspire further investigation. He chose examples specifically to avoid ambiguity in order to make the concepts clear, and he says this in the book directly. He never made claims about the extent of how widespread bullshit-jobs are except to say that there's enough evidence of the phenomenon to assert that it is real and to study and consider further.

I mean, zero of your quotes have any relevance to your assertion that his thesis was dubious. What do you think his thesis was??
Brainfuck and Piet come to mind... come to think of it, brainfuck compilers might get mad about unmatched brackets. You can't go wrong with Piet, though.

I wonder if they will rename it Google Season of Code and open it up to the Southern Hemisphere too.
The thing that puzzles me is that FM radio sound seems to have degraded.

Music that still sounds fine on CD and on Apple Music, and which used to sound fine on the radio, seems to sound muddy and distorted on current FM stations.
So many fond memories of listening to Art Bell. Your comment captures this.

The Area 51 call in shows were amazing. Mel’s Hole is another one.

Was a great time to appreciate radio. RIP Art Bell. You are missed.
+1 on this video/podcast, I sent it to at least 5 friends after listening to it and they all loved it.
It'd be cool if this could work with Airtable, too.
It's a cut down and under-clocked A6000 with 24 GB GDDR6 instead of 48. I would expect that it performs about the same as a V100 or a tad slower. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/a10g.c3798 https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/rtx-a6000.c3686 - https://lambdalabs.com/gpu-benchmarks
You have to keen an open mind, when it comes to the next big thing. The first Bitcoin post of HN didn't get much discussion and, of the few comments that were present, they were neutral to negative. If you really want to find that next thing, you best be reading the 'new' tab above.

What's been tough for me was I had fantastic stock picks (but no capital, I was in high school) in the mid-naughts. Anybody who's bought-and-held blue chip tech stocks since then would tell you. Today I do diversified index funds with the fear that it's "too late" to have a tech-skewed portfolio. As we all know, the public perception of tech has waned, though that realization is a separate discussion from potential future values, but the bad public perception biases me too much (fear of buying "the peak").

It seems over the past few years the incentives to work at a startup seemed fairly weak if you could easily get a job at Facebook paying a salary maybe 2X what the startup would pay.. I could imagine something like what happened here to be an incentive — you start with say 0.1% equity or something but if the company goes public the company reserves enough equity so that everybody can get their existing equity multiplied by number of years with the company or something..
I don't care either way. But that's probably because my native language of Thai have completely different keyboard layout that require me to switch to English layout anyway for backlash and other file path.

Being a single mother or having relations outside of marriage can be a choice.

Shaming someone for choosing a religion different than their parents or shaming someone because they have picked a job you think lowly because they are not a protected class is not a good enough reason.
Agreed, I've been burned too many times by companies getting acquired or deprecating features that I relied on.

Open source tools might not be as polished as Roam Research or whatever other fad is going on at the time, but I know they are more likely to stand the test of time.

My personal setup is creating markdown files with vimwiki and using fzf for file search. Occasionally I'll use https://obsidian.md to visualize my knowledge graph but otherwise I don't depend on it.
I have a simple system. For every “project” I’m involved in i make a new Google folder and at the top of it i make a notes doc. The document has a table at the top filled with pertinent information about the project, and then just below that I take notes for every day. Every day that I work on that project at least. Yesterdays notes get pushed below today’s notes and I just move forward like that. I just search Google docs for keywords and find them in my notes from days weeks or months ago. The nice thing about Google docs as I can take screen captures and just stuff them in the doc

While this might not be the ultimate sed reference, it turned me onto some patterns I haven't used before. The examples aren't meant to be used directly and will involve some trial and error before they're useful, but knowing what's possible makes it a very valuable reference.
Yes because an entire car of people are sitting there, minding their own business, and someone approaches them and violates their personal space. If someone grabbed you with the intention of disturbing you, would that not ruin your ride? How is someone entering your personal space by being loud and obnoxious any different?
People will link back to this comment in two years to point out how wrong / mean spirited HN can be sometimes.
Grand Statements About Justice: On the Laws of Ur-Namma
Fair. I've had no such issues in the 3.5 years with the car, but certainly "will they still be in business in 6 months" was a real concern leading up to the purchase.
As a former NYC resident: I experienced this a hell of a lot, riding the subway multiple times per day. Worse when I rode the 6, but it’s bad on all lines. Not sure what world this person lives in where they don’t experience that as much as I did just a couple of years ago.
Silly question, what do you use Multipass for? I mean, real world applications for these VMs, do you use it for continuos integration, server prototyping? To isolate frameworks/APIs?
Capitalism is itself hierarchical. You have the Capitalist who owns the Capital goods and controls the workers who provide the labour in order to turn a profit all of which is exploited by the capitalist for the capitalist gains.

Markets are accepted in Anarchism (and socialism) but Capitalism is not.
As a graduating senior in CS who is super interested in working in BCI, may I ask how you got into the field? I would love to work somewhere like Neuralink but it seems that most of these companies are not hiring new grads (understandably, perhaps). I might just get this or openbci and do a project on my own, to start.
I feel like it's been at least 5 years of people saying "Real automakers are going to eat Tesla's lunch as soon as they start delivery cars next year".. and it just keeps not happening. To be fair, it's legitimately getting closer.

I have absolutely no interest in the Cybertruck, the Rivian and the F-150 lightning are equally appealing to me for different reasons. Although I don't need a truck!
Okay, but people want different things. If you were to ask me, I would much rather ”reassess” the Steam Deck — a device in which I have no interest, made by a company with a poor hardware track record — than the Playdate — a unique device with interesting exclusives made by two companies I like a lot.
My guess is that they have some separate incentive from Booking.com etc to drive bookings through those platforms. The same places usually have a proudly displayed bullshit "9.9 average on Booking.com" somewhere in the foyer.
I use https://fastpages.fast.ai/ for my blogging platform, so I use Utterances through that... It's a great system IMO
Only something like 10-15% of lifelong heavy smokers in the United States develop lung cancer. Something like 20-30% of all lung cancer comes from life-long non-smokers.

Shame doesn't work in the way you think it does. Especially when the target of the shaming knows the reasons why they're being shamed. More likely you're just going to be traumatizing and pushing away your loved ones.
I'd be interested in what that intent to sell stuff looks like. Do I have to specify how many shares I intend to sell and when I intend to sell them? Can I change my mind about selling them down the line?
Those seem like pretty onerous restrictions compared to usual vesting schedules.

I really enjoyed this, op. It was like reading a diary of my own struggle with screen usage. I haven’t found a magic bullet, but it was comforting to read that you’ve gone through a lot of the same iterations. I once considered making a screen time + throw away the key app that would let you lock your pin and have a timer or a buddy unlock it for you.

One thing I have found, like you, is that the dissatisfaction is cyclical. When I was bike touring around Taiwan, I didn’t think twice about how much screen time I spent. When I was stuck inside for months during level 3 epidemic prevention measures, I thought about it constantly. Seek to grow the times that make you feel better and give yourself a break during the “wasteful” times. I don’t think there is a tool or practice that can long term take your ordinary life and tweak this one part where you feel like you aren’t wasting too much of the day on Reddit.
It seems we can all relate, so I'll share my version of this as well. I'm not concerned with social media or Hacker News or whatever mainly because I remember the even worse crap I used to waste time reading before I learned of HN.

My problem is control. I had a side project I started in May and I worked on it roughly 16 hours a day, every day for ~6 weeks with only one or two hour breaks to eat and exercise. When I finished the project, I went back to my 9-5 job like nothing happened. I've had similar "episodes" of grinding before, but not quite as extreme.

Since then I haven't had the motivation to spend more than a few hours on anything outside of my job. The thing I want most is to control this. It would be a superpower.

Instead I spend most of my free time reading random shit on hacker news or Twitter. And next time I binge on work, it will probably be something silly like mining crypto on a thermostat.
A democratic process would have to exist in order for us to "interact with" it (what would that even mean? if democracy is somehow separate from the people it isn't democracy). Citizens lose every vote. Rich assholes win every vote. A majority of citizens would never freely and informedly choose to fight multiple pointless wars of aggression on the other side of the planet. A majority of citizens would never freely and informedly imprison more fellow citizens, both in absolute and percentage terms, than any other nation on the planet, in history. A majority of citizens would never freely and informedly pay a Chinese lab to invent a global pandemic, and then enrich whichever pharma firms can best pretend to develop "vaccines" (which in actuality are more like pre-therapeutics, in that while they make infection less deadly they don't actually slow the spread of the virus) for that pandemic. All of these follies are the broken-window fallacy writ large, with the glaziers plowing most of their ill-gotten rents back into the political process to break more windows.

I'm glad I can't understand why so many prefer to blame we the people rather than the system of control to which we are subject. Perhaps they are also subject...
I find that time of day and amount of sleep received heavily influences time wasting behavior. If I catch my mind craving to watch a movie I know “100%” I need sleep - the movie my mind is craving are dreams. Same with social wasters. A good night of sleep and the brain feels perfectly engaged, focused and productive in the morning. Not getting sleep leads to anxiety and fear of missing out which leads to more social media - what if that next HN post solves all of your problems. Social and TV content is optimized for ads because they know they are consumed when people are tired from their day - personal willpower is exhausted, and you give in to suggestion very easily. There is a reason late night shows compete for the prime spots. So when tired or overly interested in distractions, I try to actually sleep/nap when possible and get more hours with my best brain than my worst. A nap gives you 2 productive days in 24 hrs, and that may be worth something if you value you brain.
I ran Opendoor's pricing unit for the years leading up to IPO. I can say that this designer has a fundamental misunderstanding of the housing market and the Seller mindset which is likely why leadership ignored him.

In housing, EVERY OWNER BELIEVES THEIR HOME IS WORTH MORE THAN IT IS, and will be offended by a fair offer. Period. The failure of their lead designer to realize this after all these years is just one signal into why Zillow couldn't succeed where Opendoor did.
Tried perl? :)
I actually followed the Graeber-DeLong argument when it broke, and found Graeber to be quite unhinged. In one tweet I found memorable, he accuses DeLong of "war crimes" -- presumably for supporting free trade or neoliberal economics or something[1]. At other points he threatened legal action.

But it doesn't matter, really. Graeber knew the target audience on HN wasn't aware of the debate--why would most of them be aware? He expected the audience to simply accept his greatness without evidence.

This sounds like "just looking for the Titanic"
I have felt this in my own life. The idea of wasting my time away mindlessly consuming internet content like social media, memes, news articles, etc, as well as the comments attached to them. It's in a way the boob-tube of the current year, even though the original boob-tube still exists.

I see a few other posters mention that time enjoyed is not time wasted. However, for me at least, there's an emptiness to those activities that makes me feel like after all that time, nothing of value has been gained. Like a time vampire sucking away your day. Maybe unlike the author, I don't think that I need to be doing something "productive" to feel like I'm not wasting time. I enjoy gaming for example, and getting sucked into one does not give the same sense of emptiness. I guess there's a satisfaction from experiencing it, that I can reminisce on. I don't regret it.

While I certainly don't know a silver bullet to making you manage your time better. I've found that sometimes I'll tolerate things up until a point, and then one day I just say "no more" and start making a change that sticks. In this way I've seemingly managed to break away from various social sites, deleting accounts and bookmarks, and generally avoiding the site. However I would point out that now instead I am on HN more often.
Jsx is not js, it’s python!

<div className={red}>
{text}
</div>

import react
react.create_element("div", {"className":red}, text)

By the same logic we could call any structured format “is js”, because it is homomorphic to some js expressions. Are xml, pug, plist, dbf, all js? Nope, it’s all python.

I kind of wonder if there actually was a systematic study of some sort aimed at quantifying how much time people are wasting on unnecessarily manual wrangling of cloud infrastructure. I know I waste a lot of time on that, even though I try to automate everything I reasonably can, and I don't use three dozen different services. Unbelievably obtuse docs even for the simplest things, dozens of manual yak shaving steps which could be done by a shell script, nobody seems to give a slightest shit - people think that's how it ought to be.
Murray Rothbard did it to both high jack left wing fervor and also to convince people that it was radical to give capitalists unfettered power. It's little more than an attempt by capitalists to create a fake opposition that is actually anything but. Most AnCaps do it because they have been duped into thinking it's real Anarchism (I was a fervent AnCap from 2012-2015. The Ron Paul campaign got me in, and Rand Pauls hypocrisy convinced me to join the left wing)

> I don't see how you can get to more than 255, unless someone is using them in an incredibly stupid way. What really matters is the standard ones that everyone agrees on. The vendor-specific ones can be in their own space (e.g. 8xh and above), and if that's not enough, define an extension mechanism that adds a byte and you get 65535 different ones, which is definitely more than enough.

It's kind of ridiculous to argue for a one-byte address space in 2021, then kludging on an extension mechanism to handle the obvious fact that's too small. And even after that, you're still leaving everyone with ints instead of names. So we'll all get to ask ourselves "what header is 3849, again?" way more than we ever should.

That's ignoring the fact that this proposal is totally DOA unless you can find a time machine to go back to 1989 and hit Tim Berners-Lee on the head with a pipe while he was writing the HTTP spec.

>> It's 2021, who cares about dozens of bytes?

> That's the sort of attitude that got us Electron and all the other bloated web crap out there. A little bit adds up quickly, especially at the scale of the Internet.

There's about a light year between worrying about a dozen bytes and something like Electron.
I don't think they're going to allow non-developers to do much because you have to grasp the concepts of software development to use them effectively.

With that in mind, for quick/dirty things they're great. I've thrown together proofs of concept in NodeRed in 45 minutes that would otherwise take hours / days of boilerplate.
Hahaha very good point :)

Yeah, I frequently disagree with the prevailing sentiment on HN. But I find that even stuff HN hates, like Bitcoin, gets enough airtime that I can judge it for myself, even if I don't read new.

I had fantastic stock picks a few years ago as well, but didn't act on them (though I've heard from a friend that they made good money on my recommendation of Nvidia). I don't feel like I have any today, everything seems overvalued and I don't feel that I have insights others don't. Which worries me a bit. Maybe there are other forums I should be reading now instead of HN to get those insights in different fields. I kind of feel like we've reached peak HN and the most exciting future stuff may be elsewhere.
