I'd dispute that - they came with schematics and proper, useful, troubleshooting. I used to have a bit of a collection of partially working Phillips SA-4xx series stereo amps, I wanted a 7.1 surround system using them for no good reason, (2000s I suppose, got as far as flakey 3.1 iirc) and they all had such diagrams, where ~nothing modern does. They were all before my time, fwiw.

Nous nous en allerons (de requin)

I wonder if any model could end up being this creative with conjugation and plays on words.

For the non-French speakers, repartira and allerons are wrong conjugations (should be repartirai and irons) and allerons (de requin) is a play on words because allerons is close to ailerons (fins; and requin is shark).
All things being equal (income for one) inflation in the most practical sense dis proportionally affects the poor and the middle class.

In a numerical sense the rich may suffer more but they won't eat a sandwich less because of it, whereas poor people may end up much poorer and the middle class (aka the comfortably poor) are significantly impacted.
Yeah, _global_ - Teslas are mostly sold in the US. In Europe they are still way too expensive. In Germany the total amount of Tesla models sold in the first 6 months of 2021, according to the link posted in a sibling comment, is less than a quarter of just the Golf. When you combine all models, VW in Germany sells 20 times the cars that Tesla does.

I understand the hype States-side, but in Europe the situation is different. People keep saying it will change once Tesla has an EU factory, but we'll have to see - opening a factory is no walk in the park, and by the time that happens VW might have a better electric line.
As an autistic: no.

Lack of social awareness isn't an excuse for rape and abuse jokes. You don't need any social awareness to figure out that you shouldn't do that. The concept of "jokes at someone else's expense = bad" isn't hard to grasp for an analytical mind.

Autism is not stupidity. You are not doing "autists" any favor by trying to excuse this behavior.

(Also, for some reason, autistic women aren't seen joking about rape and domestic abuse. Perhaps autism isn't the reason why someone may feel comfortable making these jokes, huh.)
Society is really confused about right and wrong. Wendy Williams (a talk show host) asked her audience if one of her guests, who wanted a baby, should trick her boyfriend into fathering a child. The audience laughed and said yes -- Wendy laughed too, and agreed.

This is called paternity fraud, because once pregnant the father will have no say in the disposition of the child, AND will be on the hook for child support. That's 18 years of free money for the mom! To quote Lynch's Dune, "And for the father, nothing."

"On HN ? Unless you are a student you are making enough money to afford premium without thinking much about it and if you are using it enough to notice ads it makes sense to pay for services you use."

That's simply not true.
Gist is, she lived through Khmer Rouge genocide and Vietnamese communist revolutions thanks to luck and work skills she acquired during her youth that she started in relatively comfortable situation gradually getting worse due to destruction of her country (and Vietnam as well) and (not strictly related) deaths of women who supported her as a child (mostly mother, other maternal figure and older sister). She managed also to partner up with a decent man during the ordeal who's still her husband, but he's mentioned just in passing.

Now she's back in her still devastated home country, created an organisation helping women acquire skills they could use to earn money in a country that's about two tech-levels behind advanced countries of this world.

Most enthralling parts of the piece are memories of her luxurious childhood, which most modern kids in western countries would already abhor as abject poverty.
Again according to Wikipedia, the Khmer Rouge were initially supported by the North Vietnamese and Chinese, only turning against the former later on. The USA appears to have opposed the Khmer Rouge until they were largely a spent force. Given the articles on the subject, and my understanding of the political situation at the time, I find it hard to believe that the USA abetted any Khmer Rouge activity.

> a very expensive continuous undertaking

"Very expensive"? Sure, if you allow private subcontractors to charge $2500 for printing and laminating a 60x92 mm piece of plastic, it will be very expensive, no doubt about that. But it does not have to be that way, as the experience of many other countries with mandatory government-issued IDs shows.
> I don't think this is universally true, and to some extent I think it's a practiced skill.

But is it a skill that's even necessary and therefore developed while working as a software engineer?

In almost all cases that i can think of:

- real time communication might be important for discussing things before and after development, things such as architecture, concerns to pay attention to, or even choices made during development
- real time communication almost never plays a part during the actual development, unless doing pair programming live from 0 or even mob programming (absolutely unheard of in my current company)
- most of the time, what happens instead is dropping a detailed question in Slack and the other person responding to it when they have a minute, only escalating to calls if that's not helpful, which almost always only gives rough outlines of things to try next, not changesets to the code
- actually, most of the communication regarding code happens in merge requests asynchronously, which is better than synchronous communication which wouldn't be explicitly recorded and all of the arguments/outcomes of which would disappear

Thus, narrating the problem solving process live when you don't even have any idea how to solve the problem, haven't done research about that particular problem, have no idea what others in the industry have tried and how that worked out, is almost completely useless in my eyes. During this process, when you haven't done this discovery, about 80% of what you'd think of would be useless and would be tossed aside when you'd figure out what you actually need.

You can only feel confident in your ability to narrate these solutions when you know what they are or where to start, e.g. after a few hundreds of hours of grinding LeetCode, but at that point it's essentially following a flowchart of algorithms and in my eyes is basically "pretending" to be clever, even if there is something to be said about the ability to memorize solutions to problems (or even groups of solutions) and apply the correct one.

Perhaps it's a bit better in my eyes when you'll be applying these algorithms daily in your work, but so far it's about 90% CRUD development, struggling with the specifics of technologies and doing requirements engineering with clients who don't always know what they want or whether that what they want is technically feasible.

Disclaimer: there are probably cultural aspects to it as well, like how here in North/East Europe we don't really do much small talk with strangers. Or maybe it's just corporate culture, or the people working within the company happening to be more introverted and thus the idea of narrating things real time simply being uncomfortable to them.

Community-run blacklists for plugins like uBlock Origin are comprehensive and well-maintained

I think that blacklists are opposite to search in a sense. Naive search is an easy target for those who try to game its results in an endless arms war. Ads and annoyance listings are not, because those who want to game it would a) delete the specific rules and get catched by feedback, b) add rules to downplay the opponents and also get reported. In a search, there is hard to say who played low, because everyone will do that.

I think “we” should resurrect directories instead of a search, which already presented itself as nonsense in a long run for too many times.

A directory is a categorized collection of links with a meaningful description (opposed to in-site bs marketing claims which these sites have to do no matter what) and few curated comments. E.g. awesome lists out there:

https://github.com/vinta/awesome-python

https://github.com/quozd/awesome-dotnet

https://github.com/avelino/awesome-go

https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted

… think awesome cars, awesome appliances, awesome socks, awesome instruments, awesome food etc. Every area has some interned knowledge which waits for a platform to post it on. There will be ads push force just like with search, but at least it would be controlled by community, not by faceless moremoney entity. The difference with search is that search is automated and thus is much more vulnerable to ranking tricks. You can then run very naive search over this curated data and get good results.

Also it would shift trust from sites (which you want to find out to trust or not in the first place) to people who pull-request links into a directory. You never know which of SERP results made by whom. In a directory, you can see who posted what and what their rating or age of participation is. This is inevitable because in a modern world trust can only be built with time to a person, and there is no good will except of someone real who got tired of the shit so much that they are ready to go to lengths to explain/advise/help others and get it back eventually (that’s the core of the foss idea). No corp can align with what we want anymore, because their competition is always better at money, and at SERP. There is simply no other way, in my view.

>> I do think defining poor as unemployed is way too narrow.

Definitely. You floated the idea that inflation would be progressive if the creditors have to pay higher wages (if wages rise in sync) while their loan portfolios in "old dollars" become essentially a worthless write down. There's a beautiful, even just economic logic to that. The trouble is that the lag itself becomes wealth under inflation. Normally, TTL between promising a worker a check and sending it gives a nominal value for holding that money as long as possible in an interest bearing or inflation-proof asset. Under inflation that time differential goes wild. Sometimes within a day or two, the value of the payment is gone by the time it gets to the employee. This is before it even enters the system as purchasing power.

Time becomes the most crucial element of profit and control, under inflation.

This painfully reminded me of my dad, who passed away earlier this year. We grew up as a family of 5, in small, 3 rooms flat in the block-of-flats from communist era. The way he made use of every single centimeter including the walls and ceiling still amazes me to this day. He was working with computers his whole life, but I haven't met anyone as handy as him. He built custom closets, cupboards, bunk beds, shelves, tables, perfctly designed for the dimensions of our flat, all without fancy tools and materials. My parents had their beds in our living room, but when we had event for our extended family, the whole room could be turned into something entirely different in 30 minutes, everything served multiple purposes. Whenever something needed to be done, or fixed, he disappeared into the "pile of useless junk" he kept in our basement and always came back with the right wire, pipe, or plank that did the job perfectly. Although I think I can be quite creative in some areas, unfortunately when it comes to manual work I am nowhere as gifted as him and am happy when I manage to change a lightbulb or hammer a nile.
It'll have to come out of somewhere, if it wasn't the government maybe some insurance company would pay, but unlike the Fed they can't print money either, so premiums will go up regardless, everyone pays in any case. Flint, MI is functionally bankrupt anyway so I don't think they'd have been able to charge higher premiums anyway.

> Linux lets you do this. The interface is stable. People can build their custom user space on top of it and enjoy a great kernel full of drivers. Wouldn't it be amazing if someone came up with a 100% Lisp user space? A 100% Rust user space?

Great indeed (I like Lisp!), but I have to question how useful that would be in practice.

Let's take Lisp as an example: I can now program only in Lisp and talk to the OS in native Lisp only (including POSIX calls). The downsides are that I cannot call any existing library; my 100% Lisp environment cannot use libzip, or libffmpeg/libavutil, or libSDL, etc.

In order to make that 100% Lisp environment actually useful it's going to be doing FFI calls anyway into a C ABI. That makes the OS-interface redundant.

Python is as popular as it is purely because it made calling into the C ABI easy: existing libraries were made instantly useful in Python, not unnecessarily hard.
If any at all.
last time I checked the Debian and Gentoo hardening guides relro/pie were standard practice. I can't remember the time we didn't use it and I've been around for a minute.

this is my template for most Linux projects (except when "something else" is needed :)) ... please don't copy paste without certainty of what it does:

CFLAGS_BASE := -c -O2 -Wall -Werror -Wpedantic -pipe $(CFLAGS)
CFLAGS_HARD := -fPIE -Wformat-security -fstack-protector-strong --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -fcf-protection -Wimplicit-fallthrough -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2

CFLAGS_DEBUG := -g3 -gdwarf-2
CFLAGS_RELEASE := -s -fomit-frame-pointer -march=native

LDFLAGS := -Wl,-z,now -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,defs -Wl,-pie -Wl,--no-copy-dt-needed-entries
LDFLAGS_HMALLOC := -L/usr/local/lib -lhardened_malloc # see https://github.com/GrapheneOS/hardened_malloc

don't get security advise from random strangers like me on HN, also don't forget to always ship code with an apparmor profile and lock down the systemd unit file with seccomp filters and other hardening options (even RH is just another IBM company now, they have excellent docs on this and some impressive appsec/security people on their payroll https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/mastering-systemd). Also after learning about systemd hardening this was the time I stopped worrying and learned to love systemd. (actually just joking I still hate systemd with a passion)

I especially like how she calls out Vietnamese philosophers of their communist revolutions.

Most people don't realize how dangerous philosophers actually are, with their entitlement to enshrine great value in their musings without any requirement for them to be backed up with actual knowledge or existing data.

When you look at all the bloody revolutions you'll find philosophers inspiring and often guiding them.

Interesting thing to watch is "Power of nightmares" by Adam Curtis. It tracks the history of islamists and US neo-conservatists starting from their respective (very similar) philosophical roots.

> The concept of "jokes at someone else's expense = bad" isn't hard to grasp for an analytical mind.

Rape jokes aren't at anyone's expense. A joke at someone's expense would be making fun of someone, a rape joke is just something like "9 out of 10 enjoys gang rape" etc, that isn't what people mean when they say "joke at someone else's expense".

So to me your post just shows that you lack the social awareness to understand these things, and if you grew up in a different environment you would have happily made rape jokes.
> First, the Nazis were also convinced that the Jews and certain other minorities had committed crimes against the state and the German people, so there's not a meaningful difference between Hitler's and Stalin's motivations.

This does not explain why the Nazis were also targeting the disabled and blacks, for example, does it? What crimes had the disabled and blacks committed against the state? Also, how could people not living in Germany, the Poles and Slavs, have committed crimes against the German state?

See, the Nazis were not motivated by any good faith belief that the groups they targeted had committed any specific crimes against the state. They believed that these groups should not exist at all, and they were prepared to, ultimately, hunt them down for extermination anywhere in the world.

I think equating the Communists and the Nazi is rather repugnant. Yes, both were brutal, but to downplay the unparalleled evil of the Nazi regime betrays a lack of critical analysis of what actually happened.

Completely agree. And hedonic adjustments are not a bad thing either. As you say, inflation is an insanely complex beast that we don’t really understand.

But it’s worth pointing out that certain agencies use CPI imperfections when it suits them: the Fed has pointed to low inflation for years as justification to continue its monetary policies. And then when CPI no longer backs their actions, they change the narrative and claim it’s “transitory”.

CPI isn’t broken. It can’t be broken. It’s just a metric with a methodology.

But our interpretation of CPI is broken at best, and manipulative at worst.
Sometimes participants in a discussion can't get a particular scenario out of their head to the point they literally can't accept even a hypothetical scenario that differs.

You seem stuck on the scenario where, by construction, an actually guilty person is accused, and then claims the allegations are false.

But you haven't really engaged, it seems to me, with another scenario where, by construction, an actually innocent person is falsely accused, and then claims the allegations are false. Is your position that this just never happens, and never could happen? Or it happens so infrequently it can be ignored?

That’s some MRA bullshit and I want to call it out. You have in one sentence made a false equivalence, because your claim is entirely untrue.

> So if USD goes up, tax collection go up

Currencies going up usually leads to a reduction of exports which subsequently leads to an economic downturn, which leads to less taxes.

Apart from that, mass sell offs of government debt leads to increasing interest rates. You can buy that off with quantitative easing but probably that has limits too.

> The opioid crisis is a difficult topic, but the role of legal opioids in it is highly contested.

No, it really isn't. US doctors were massively over-prescribing very strong opioids and telling patients that these were not addictive.

This meant that communities were flooded with clean, pure, strong, opioids. This supply was legal. The fact that it subsequently got diverted into the misuse supply chain doesn't alter the known facts of the opioid crisis - that there was massive over-supply of legal meds.
