Oh, you want history...

The "indigenous Arab" populations stole it from the Romans, who stole it from... Oh, the Jews!

But OK, I guess then the UK should be blamed from stealing the land from the Native Americans in the US and Canada, and Spain from Latin America... Oh, and BTW, before Israel was "created" as you said, Jordan didn't exist, so, wait, do you want Jordan to also stop existing? What about Tibet? Can we speak with Chinese at the same hatred level you speak of Israel?
And also, please learn your history. When the partition happened in '48, the Palestinians got a bigger piece, and they decided NOT to take it and attack. Israel was ok with having a small state to grab the survivors of the nazi atrocities, but no... And then the Palestinians began attacking non-stop, so, after 100+ years of Palestinians attacking Jews, all coming from a specific area of the country, then, what would you do?
Look at 1993, 1995, 1997. ALL territories were going to go to the Palestinian Authority, and the master terrorist Arafat declined. So, please don't.
Israel return ALL of Gaza WITH infrastructure to support the population... And what happened? The asshole Hamas took over and subjugated their own people. How is that Israeli apartheid?
I can go on and on. Yes, there are bad things on the Israeli side, I agree. But look at the numbers.
I'm done trying to explain things to people that barely understand the conflict at all.
All of the notes of software waste in the article are about what happens with software evolution over time. It’s a mistake to evaluate any code as static. The idea of a “wrong abstraction” was never about whether the code works or doesn’t; the point of the abstraction being wrong is that it complicates evolution. Any abstraction can be fine at a single point in time if all tests pass and the software functions without bugs. So, I don’t see a distinction between evolution and the wrong abstraction. If you’re never going to change it again, there’s no such thing as the wrong abstraction.

We can’t debate or say anything useful about whether an abstraction is better than duplication without looking at specific cases; I would not presume to claim abstraction is better than duplication under any generic rule whatsoever. It simply depends on the code in question. That said, I don’t really understand what you mean about detecting duplicate instances being harder, because the premise of the abstraction being wrong is that you don’t want to find duplicate instances. If the abstraction becomes more wrong over time, then it doesn’t matter which task is harder, one of the two you mentioned would be going the wrong way. If the abstraction is wrong, then there’s by definition only one of them, no?
> Continuous spiking of dopamine causes your baseline levels to drop, and you feel shitty and unmotivated.

Spiking dopamine levels with pharmaceutical drugs can do this in animal studies, but watching a show on Netflix or eating a donut is not the same thing.

The simpler explanation is that people who spend all of their time passively consuming rewarding activities (junk food, TV shows, Twitter, Reddit, porn) are getting terrible nutrition, very little physical activity, and no real social exposure. They're also piping a constant stream of negative news and unhealthy debates into their eyes and ears.

Going outside and going for a run is also rewarding and can also be shown to elevate dopamine levels, but nobody is going to argue that it makes you "feel shitty and unmotivated".

You can't reduce everything down to one, singular chemical in the brain. Human psychology and motivations are complex and not a function of singular chemical "levels" in the brain. Reward is also a complex topic that involves multiple systems across the brain, especially opioidergic pathways that moderate much of the sensation of reward. Dopamine is also used for functions like movement (think Parkinson's) and even encoding negative stimuli that you dislike.

This pseudoscience idea that "dopamine equals motivation" or that you can modulate your entire motivation/reward circuitry by playing games to modulate dopamine is an egregious abuse of the science.
Wow, guess I’ve underestimated the glorious power of Noctua.
The fallacy here is the use of the word "we". The people trying their hardest to stigmatize anyone who doesn't like the COVID vaccine are the same ones saying that being obese isn't your fault and isn't unhealthy.

It really is insane, and limits upgradability of even brand new machines.

Point in case, I have a newly built Ryzen 5900X tower that reuses a GPU from an old build. I chose a high quality 80+ Platinum 750W PSU thinking that would give more than enough headroom for upgrading the GPU at some point, but if the next generation of GPUs are as power hungry as rumored I’ll be limited to current generation cards unless I buy a new PSU.

I hope efficiency comes to be a focal point again soon, because if the trend continues you’ll need a 1kW PSU just to comfortably accommodate current enthusiast parts and have any hope of upgrading in the future, which is ridiculous.

You may be confused. At least here in Germany, we (mostly) implement 2G: "Geimpft oder genesen." -- vaccinated or recovered. (Depending on context, "getestet", meaning tested negatively, is also fine.)

So no, "natural immunity" is not treated any differently from "artificial immunity", and it absolutely is about getting out of a pandemic without too many people dying. By the way, there is no difference. Immunity is immunity.

Very Similar here.

I have recently discovered I get a lot of energy from Teaching kids or even just watching Kids play. Playing around with them may drain my physical energy, but mentally I feel so much better every time. Whenever I see them I see infinite possibilities. The world is so much better it is now than it ever was, despite I know all the shit that is happening in real world. And I have no problem speaking with Groups of parents in any social settings. And in a social event where our interest aligned like some technology forum.

But as you said I do get burnout in my previous settings with Business Meetings, I have to shield up, and after been through a lot of shit I know it is basically war zone. Not just outside but often a lot of in-flighting within companies. It is tiring. Especially when I am almost 100% correct in predicting outcome, while often tasked with fixing it. And the people judging on you because you are XYZ. I still remember the day I got promoted everybody's faces changed. And then later you know they all want a piece of you.

And an unpopular opinion, I really like Peter Thiel's take on it, most extrovert are low conviction people. And they are also the ones that tends to suffer from herd mentality. While also offering their herd views to the others since extrovert tends to run the world. And that is how you get herd mentality from top to bottom.

Too bad that other sites use the same API to forbid you from going back where you came from, by filling the back stack with hundreds of bogus entries.
That and the different colour for "visited" links. This site is a good example where a different colour for a link you've clicked would be really useful - but it's strangely lacking. Every time I click a link on HN to read an article, and come back to HN to read the comments discussing said article, I have to scan the whole HN page again to find the link. It's frustrating.

Indeed. The "something" is said authorities having repeatedly been caught lying.
The measles vaccine is not perfect either. The only reason we don't have to worry abour measles is because enough people have been vaccinated to achieve herd immunity and bring down the transmission to zero. However, if vaccination rates drop even a little bit then outbreaks can pop up again because measles is extremely contagious.
Every distributed system should be called hydra because it has multiple heads and recovers when one dies. Everything else should be called epiousios which is safe as no one knows what it means, or maybe some combination of words about dynamic entropy.

I've always felt the "one language" sell was fake news. The amount of difference between JS in the browser and Node.js is much larger than the similarity. The DOM and Node.js APIs are big and vastly different in scope and what they accomplish. Add to this all the weird incompatibilities like Node not having fetch, or the multiple accepted module patterns etc it's such a mess. Then you get people telling you JSX is "just JS" also, which is also not true. You have to make all kinds of goofy adjustments to even make it function as HTML.

I do agree that you can pump out sites quickly with a modern JS stack, but I definitely think there is room for improvement and it should be idolized as "good" or the way it _should_ be.

The fastest shifts occurred after large volcanic activity. And cold summers for a few years then led to crop failures.

Am really interested in more analysis of correlation of reduced sunspot activity and then increased volcanic activity. It appears to be a fascinating correlation.

Update - The mammoths with undigested grass in their stomachs, which froze to death while eating, may indicate magnetic pole flip creates faster climate change than volcanic activity.

I must add that this feeling "people judging you" is mostly YOU. That is we THINK what other people are thinking, as we don't have direct link to their brains. The intensity of this feeling is related to your personal feeling of your self worth, which again doesn't have much to do with any realistic criteria. From my personal experience people love you, find you interesting, miss you when you are not there, etc. much more that you think.
I am curious. Not true?

I don't think lacking a child would make someone any more considerate of society than they are. As the poster above you mentioned, many young couples don't want to have children because the economic and QoL calculation is unfavorable to doing so. They have no concern for the utilitarian needs of society (and for that matter, most people don't).
As someone who listens to electronic music for which a lot of albums are collaborations or by mixed tracks by many artists Spotify is completely useless to me. This is because I rarely find any album which has all the tracks available. Most have tracks locked due to licensing issues. It could be partly my location but nonetheless Spotify makes me want to pirate.
> They do not break it every release

No one in the comment chain claimed otherwise. Breaking changes every rand() * (6 months) is not much better than breaking changes every 1 * (6 months). It still means you have to validate your firewall configs once or twice a year and randomly need to push these changes to network appliances with the same cadence. A key benefit of application stability is not having to constantly read release notes and check if your use case is affected by the changes.

> You have six months to make mostly minor changes to pf.conf before you are out of support. They release every six months and patch the last release.

Yes, they have a schedule for rolling out breaking changes. This is a maintenance burden.

> The changes aren't made for the heck of it, they make a more consistent system overall with new knowledge.

The same is true of many breaking changes in applications and APIs broadly. A cleanly designed system does not magically make the ensuing maintenance burden disappear. We probably all agree that OpenBSD and pf are well designed but we should not ignore its costs.

Notepad++ is my primary editor on Windows.

I don't write code, but I am in and out of a dozen or more text files a day, looking at EDI data, translator configurations, etc. It's fast and remembers the files I had open yesterday. I find its search dialog to be big and clunky, but it's a minor issue compared to the overall utility of the editor (and I love how it counts instances of what it finds).

The only thing I use VSCode for is analyzing CSV files; its Rainbow CSV plugin is the best way to visualize a big CSV file to find out where a client messed up their input.

I had a case where using the "for free" academic HPC cluster was so inconvenient that we used only in very few cases when we needed very large amounts of compute, and for any smaller tasks using the commercial cloud solutions saved enough time/salaries so that they were worthwhile even purely from cost perspective. Also, for academic purposes it was possible to get quite large amounts of cloud computing for free, so most users never bothered to even try to approach the academic HPC environment as it had no advantages whatsoever.

The general idea is real: Abstaining from an activity for a while can make it more enjoyable.

But the "dopamine fasting" trend has evolved into a weird extremist version of this where people try to avoid everything that might be enjoyable for a while.

The catch, of course, is that you don't have to avoid everything enjoyable to rekindle that feeling of enjoyment for returning to specific things.

These people would be far happier if they simply used their downtime to go exercise, or go for a walk, or socialize, or volunteer, or call up old friends. You don't have to be miserable to restore the enjoyment of something. Just do something else for a while instead of being chronically online all day every day.

You're moving the goalposts here. You said that:

But then you specifically mention a window of 2 years. From a business perspective, 2 years is not "decent accuracy".
This doesn't even get into the really good stuff like webrings. In the days before Google and SEO, you needed to be part of some "webring" of related sites if you wanted someone to find your page.

I would add:

- messing with the mouse pointer (and adding animated graphics following it),
- changing the whole browser’s window’s “chrome” to custom graphics (as in: custom minimize/maximize/close buttons and the edge graphics of the floating window)
- Maybe throwing full-screen to maximize the impact.
You need a lot of “stuff” (land, raw materials, labour, etc) for your energy. I’m not sure how true this really is in comparison to e.g. fossil fuel or nuclear power, but I get the sense that a lot of space and resources are required for a very large power output whereas the energy density in land is much lower for solar and wind (though construction is likely cheaper).

David MacKay had a great graph showing the power per land density of various energy sources and in the U.K. assuming that we could switch things like heating and transportation to electricity without loss of efficiency, we would need to roughly coat the country in solar or wind to match current energy consumption. Though the numbers may have changed since, they probably haven’t changed by the 2 orders of magnitude or so that would likely be required for the prospect of just solar/wind to be palatable.
I'm not sure how common this was: the shuffle function in a CD player I used always used the same order for the same CD. Maybe they had a predefined shuffle-list of integers, that they used mod the number of tracks on the CD. Or seeded their pseudo RNG with something from the CD. Whatever the implementation, you only got two modes for playing one CD: in order, or "shuffle" - in a predefined, seemingly random, but still always consistent order.

That's a good point! Adjusting the message to direct people down that route rather than simply removing it seems like a good idea.
One thing a miss: a simple, easy to use, wysiwyg html editor. Also, these days it also would have to be open source. So, my only options look like bluegriffon, whose license/monetization I don't like, or Mozilla Composer (actually seamonkey), which seems basically abandoned in terms of features and maintenance seem to only make it compile and run on modern system.

Some people may suggest a CMS, but I don't want a CMS. I just want a simple way to create a personal page. What alternative still remains?
I think this is one of the main division in the US Red Tribe/Blue Tribe division.

To Blue Tribe nature is a beautiful park we need to preserve and keep untouched. Work is done in an office, producing documents.

To Red Tribe nature is a source of raw materials to produce food, metals, power, etc. Work is taming and harvesting the resources of nature.

Blue Tribe keeps adding wilderness restrictions, which keeps taking away ways for Red Tribe to make a living, increasing rural poverty, and feeding resentment.

I hope that makes sense.

Yes, it is indeed very similar to that. And obviously the author should not have any rights to restrict someone from reading chapters of a novel out of order if they want.

> However, if vaccination rates drop even a little bit then outbreaks can pop up again because measles is extremely transmissable.

But in cases when that's happened, how many people caught "breakthrough" measles, as opposed to unvaccinated people catching measles?
Frankly it seems like a needlessly dangerous practice to continue.
The CoC I think I could live with, if it would stop there. The LLVM foundation supporting outreachy that was too much for me. It would indeed have little or no impact on me, since I was already an established developer, but I know that would not have been the case if I was starting now (I wrote a bit about it in https://quillette.com/2018/06/26/diversity-and-discriminatio...).

More importantly, Niemöller's poem always comes to mind when the argument is "it has little impact on you". So no, I don't regret it.
> Once you have worked for a day, your employer owes you money.

I see what you mean, but do they really? If I leave work one day (say, in the middle of the week) and don’t come back, does my employer owe me pay until the day I left? Some people have that situation, but for most people, the situation is more complicated; they can’t just leave without giving advance notice, etc. Included in this complexity is the fact that the employer does not owe the employee anything until the pay is actually due, as specified in the contract.
Some sites that are more savvy now prevent you from getting into dev tools altogether. That and Google looking to make the whole web canvas is a disturbing trend.
> But, I don't think this advantage necessarily translates to a higher probability of establishing long-term relationships.

At least in my circle - it does. The men who want to have long term relationships can and do. The men who don't - don't. At the very least - all parties can have their carnal desires satisfied at a moment's notice without any judgement.

> Maintaining health/fitness, focusing on work/education, and developing a strong personality are all actions that have a high return on investment in areas of life outside of dating. Anyone would benefit from doing all of these things regardless of how necessary they are to obtain casual sex.

I think to some extent they translate but I'd say that for most straight men - they really only do it because they want a partner. If they had the choice then they wouldn't bother. While some of these translate in other areas - they don't translate as strongly as in dating. Higher income/NW doesn't mean shit if you have to spend all your life alone. Health/fitness just means you live longer alone. For the overwhelming majority of men - they rather die than be alone (one of the reasons why the suicide rate among men is so much higher than for women). This is where they are very different from women who are completely content with dying alone.
It is completely their choice and you agree to that choice by giving money to that platform. It is a feature of a streaming service.. that's what you are paying for. It is an argument against this streaming service or an argument for depending on who you are.
