I think in general if there is duplication and an abstraction can be made it should be done. The (in)famous article about 'duplication is cheaper than the wrong abstraction' that is also mentioned below is seriously one of the articles about programming that I hate the most of all articles about programming. It goes very awry when it says 'Programmer B feels honor-bound to retain the existing abstraction'. As programmers we should expect the continuously refactor our abstractions and be very eager to do that. Of course, such a thing is only realistic with automated tests. Reluctance to change things is how things stagnate and go bad. Even if you create an abstraction that is wrong and that is undone later you have learned something. Just adding to the code base while not even attempting to improve anything does not teach one much and is the road to stagnation in poor code quality, aka the famous unmaintainable mess.

can you tell me what is the delta of lending to deposits interest rates in banks in your country?
in india, banks lend to businesses at around 12-17% interest rate while at the same time, "fixed time deposits" are given 3-5% interest rate. Savings get 2-3% interest rate.
"The issue I dislike the entire GNOME project with it's software and philosophy is their mentality of treating users as idiots, removing options with false motives and attempting to impose their shit on other projects and application(refusing to support standard system tray and demanding all application use the GNOME way, refusing to support server side decorations and forcing all other applications, including old unmaintained ones to change to support GNOME)."

I don't understand any of these comments. There is actually a real design process that happens in GNOME. It's not just removing things because they think users are idiots. We can talk about issues in the process but I don't think your characterizations are fully correct here.

When it comes to things like the system tray and decorations and such, I don't know what you mean by imposing. If you build apps for KDE then you are going to build them "the KDE way" using KDE APIs, which includes certain things and excludes others. If you build apps for iPhone then you are going to build them "the iPhone way" using iOS APIs, which includes certain things and excludes others. And so on. So I don't understand why you could single GNOME out for this. If you don't like their way, they you can go build an app for KDE or iOS or whatever. I can't see how anyone is being forced to change anything to support GNOME.

Critically fails to distinguish between decentralization technologies (a wider category) and cryptocurrency. Does not understand the term he is criticizing.

There is another deeper primary failure here shared by much of the HN community. That is the inability, despite so much evidence, to comprehend that technology IS an ally to society. In fact, it has always been a core part of progress in human society.

But the above, and the article, are just laying out worldviews, which is not constructive since beliefs are very broad and quite difficult to change. What IS possible to discuss are specific types of problems and technological or non-technological solutions to them. The article provides nothing specific to discuss. It is simply idealogical flamebait and should be removed.

The thing about the Steele Dossier though is that it wasn't just "unproven allegations"; that understates the level of lack of credibility associated with the dossier that should have been obvious to the media from the start.

The basic story didn't even make sense. Here's a guy, Steele, who hadn't worked at an intelligence agency for a half decade, who somehow was still in touch with "valuable" clandestine MI6 intelligence contacts who supposedly didn't care about MI6 anonymity protections and were willing to share their secrets with dudes in the private sector in exchange for money. It was never a context likely to reveal true statements.

And the genesis of the dossier itself, being a hired project designed to only seek politically incriminating information was doomed to be biased from the start, especially in light of the foregoing. At a minimum, the media should have been more willing to couch their statements about the dossier by indicating that Steele was paid by Fusion GPS, who had been hired by the Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee. That would have at least prompted a lot of people to consider whether the dossier might be an honest attempt at finding real facts or might be closer to a fishy paid political hit job.

I think you hit it on the head. As you said, with a Space Opera, you know what you're getting and you can easily suspend belief when needed. I would include Dune in this category to a large extend. With Hard SciFi, your "engineering brain" is turned only fully and you enjoy thinking through the actual plausibility of things; I'd include the Martian in that category. I didn't get far in Seveneves, but what I read felt to be uncomfortably in-between. I couldn't tell if I needed to suspend disbelief and look for the less technical meaning, or if I should be having fun thinking about the science/engineering plausibility.

Uncanny valley is a good description to me. I think Stephenson found an interesting in between. Not a criticism of the book; just an observation/assessment.
Pfizer's "new" drug works using the same principle as ivermectin. If you accept that Pfizer's drug works, then ivermectin works, and the fact that Pfizer made it that way seems tantamount to an admission of that. But the actual case seems to be that ivermectin is superior.

Any command that depends on the working copy commit will first check if it needs to create a new commit from the working copy contents. So when you run e.g. `jj status`, it will amend the current working copy commit if there are changes.

My GitHub repo is on this list https://github.com/egfx/React-Leaderboard

I was dumbfounded to receive this message yesterday. I made this project over 3 years ago and I didn’t even know about hacker rank at that time. This project was made because I was seeking a contract job and they asked me to create a leaderboard in react which i did with no code copying whatsoever. I implemented it in react hooks which wasn’t natively built into react so I used preact which had the newest feature set. If anything did hackerrank use my work to seed their tests? I see that as the likelihood. Also it could be because I used the text copy from the contracting job that asked me to create a leaderboard in the readme. In truth it could be either but this has become yet another pitch fork into a very difficult time where I have no job or money to do anything.

A lot of the documents contain highly sensitive data. There have been too many incidents of printed docs left on trains, thrown out in the rubbish, etc. That being said, you're not going to be use a third-party system like this to draw such diagrams. But there is definitely a use case for animated diagrams in such documents.
I think articles like this serve to drive absolutism through clickbait title. "Goodbye clean code" becomes "It’s an attempt to make some sense out of the immense complexity of systems we’re dealing with". And on the other side you have people writing "Comments are evil, burn die" and in the text you have "Comments shouldn't repeat the code, but are necessary sometimes, use your brain".

In the real world of real people coding and not in click-bait land, people use clean code as a tool that's sometimes appropriate.
That's not a very profound argument.
One thing I've realized is that it's best to think about crypto and smart contracts as a foundation to build upon. They're tools in our toolbox. What we build is up to us.

In the future, I don't think we'll see many monolithic contracts like you're describing (no USA smart contract). Instead I think we'll have a bunch of small, simple, and battle tested smart contracts that we can fit together like lego bricks.

Honestly, I like my current bank's app so much that I don't even really need or want some kind of quick money VC to get between me and my bank. Money transfers are done in seconds, almost every place allows me to use contactless payment from my bank app and there's no data being fed to Google or Apple. I wish I could use my checking account app to manage my savings account (on another bank) but I can live with the inconvenience of having a second, slightly inferior app thst I barely use anyway.

I think the answer to "what's holding banking back" is often "whatever the EU is doing with banking". The question often gets asked by people in countries where the biggest banks are terrible.

The problem is not the concept of banking, the centralization or overly broad government regulations. The problem is that some (big) banks don't give a fuck about their users' experience, especially when transferring money between different banks.

This is how PayPal got off the ground. Any of these billion dollar institutions could've built PayPal, or competed it to death when it started to become popular, but they chose not to.

> True "decentralization" means letting go of (at least some) exclusivity and ownership; and the current flavor of the crypto craze can't even conceive of it.

"True" decentralization is a voluntary framework where both exclusivity and ownership can coexist with other (less capitalist) ideologies. What I find interesting is that there is an emerging global sandbox for people to experiment with novel technologies and try out new ideas that were simply not possible before.

It's certainly a fair criticism that the most popular (and most profitable) projects are lacking in creativity and disproportionately rewarded for questionable utility, but that is a criticism of the people who are building (and paying) with this technology.

Crazes come and go, and after this current Cambrian explosion winds down and all the NFT hype, DeFi scams, and almost-ponzi schemes implode, I believe that the truly interesting (and useful) projects will not only remain, but continue to grow and evolve over time.

Honestly friend, I think you're both correct. You're correct in that TCP and IP are the product of smart, driven design decisions. The people you're arguing with are correct in that the internet won a standards war so other protocols disappeared. The standards war wasn't always fought over technical merits and philosophy/politics were both part of it.

@kelnos I agree what happened was tragic and can't imagine but my comment was to @basedgod, the OP of this comment thread whose comment was so vulgar and devoid of care of the value of human life that it was flagged into the sun.

In the case of an entertainment video, I agree.

In the case of an instructional video, it can really be frustrating to watch 10-20 minutes of something before realizing that the maker did it wrong, didn't document it adequately etc. Those videos tend to have a high ratio of dislikes to likes and that can easily prevent one from wasting their time.

I've been doing a lot of home renovations this past summer and watching instructional videos to help guide me. There's a lot of trash out there and it's not always immediately obvious as so without watching for a decent chunk of time. Conversely, there are a lot of videos with low-production values that are highly useful, so judging alone based on ten seconds can be misleading.
So the cheating got around ears but the open relationship wouldn't? What a strange selectively gossipy community. I'd think people would normally cover up both as they are personal, but all shit can get out.
There was a government takeover of the residential mortgage sector. Private companies today largely act as agents for GSEs, the Fed, or other parts of the government. They originate mortgages, package them, and service them but the government sets rates, underwriting rules, and holds the risk. Thus it was very easy for it to reinflate the bubble far beyond where it was in 2007 (check out case-schiller https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=It55).

If prices look like they are about to stall keep an eye out for the introduction of the low rate 50 year fixed rate mortgage. Whatever it takes to keep incumbent homeowners receiving endless windfalls.
I suppose it depends on how you look at it. It used to be that the two main fonts were Arial and Times New Roman (and Courier New), then they switched to Calibri and Cambria (and Consolas). At the same time, as you say, they switched Word's default from serif to sans serif (because sans serif are better for on-screen reading, and the assumption about how documents would be read had changed). I'm sure we can agree on all those facts. Whether Calibri is a replacement for Arial or Times New Roman is just a matter of what we each mean by the word "replacment" and is not interesting.

I think Calibri looks extremely readable on screen (at least on Windows with ClearType, which is what it was designed for). At the end of the day it's a matter of opinion.

Your article on Tahoma and Verdana was very interesting! To veer a little further off topic: I was under the impression that those fonts, or at least Verdana, was primary designed for great readibility for very short text labels in dialogue boxes, so it does make me wince when I see them used for long documents, especially printed ones.

The federated ecosystem for link aggregators and discussion platforms is increasing and maybe starting your own community based on one of them is an idea to keep in mind.

If I can toot my own horn in this regard, I'm working on such an alternative based on Go. The example instance I have up at the moment is a general purpose one, but you can easily create a your own. You can find it at https://littr.me

If you want to take a look at the code, there's some links in my bio.

The advantages of federated services is that you can keep your community small and tightly focused (like you said, dedicated to SysOps) but at the same time your users can subscribe to other instances and participate there through the federation mechanism.
Thoughtful of the developer to add type defs.
Correct. Should have clarified. 5.92 trillion legislative and 6.84 trillion in Fed actions. That's what was allocated. Spent so far is 8.6 trillion. The fed actions include mostly asset purchases (e.g. 2.5 trillion in treasuries, 1.2 trillion in buying MBS, etc). This introduces money into the system and is what I believe is driving the strangness we've been seeing (financial assets up 30% from pre-pandemic levels, increase in inflation, supply chain shortages, etc).

This is the best site I found to track the spending:

> smaller more numerous cells -> same power, faster charging due to concurrency

Not really, because smaller cells -> less capacity -> lower current for same C rating.

One 1000 mAh battery charging at 5C means 5A charging current, while two 500 mAh batteries in parallel leads to 2 * 2.5A = 5A.

And AFAIK typically a larger battery scales better, that is, less dead space for connectors/housing etc so more mAh per volume.
