Yes, because if you understand forks, you'll understand that just because you fork something doesn't mean that you are now the thing you were forking. Instead, you're a new incarnation of the thing you forked.

For example, if someone forked ffmpeg and started making their own improvements on top of that fork without contributing back the changes, that is now something else than ffmpeg, while ffmpeg still remains ffmpeg.
Gaming keyboards often use linear switches, which are faster and easier to hit - this is good for gaming but can be messy for long typing in my experience. This is why blue and brown switches, which slow you down a little more, are kind of better for writing to me?

Otherwise a lot is going to depend on personal preference, how often you use a numpad or other things, but that's one thing to look for in extended typing.
>Arguably, the current state of movies is a direct result of studios realizing that well-produced, middle of the road content is the most profitable.

yes, if streaming movies well-produced, middle of the road, not terribly expensive is most profitable - as per this recent discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29247571 on red notice

if cinema, big expansive events most profitable (currently)

if shows, high quality addictive, dramatic, character driven, etc. is most profitable

why is quality series more profitable than middle of road? because you have to get people to make the investment of spending 10+ hours.

why are medium quality competence streaming movies most profitable? because many people are willing to spend 90 minutes passing the time with something mildly enjoyable, despite the many draws on our time it's still not seen as a serious investment.

why are big events blah blah blah - because it costs a lot to go out it is a hassle compared to staying home, I tend to go to restaurant as well when I do it so for me at least it definitely has to have been a night worth it at the end, and something big is more likely to make everyone like whoa I had an experience I can't have at home.
>What a pile. Blind spot detection system malfunction a lot to the point of being useless. Front collision detection is just annoying.

Been driving cars with blind spot detection and front collision for years. Never had a "malfunction". I live in Canada. When it's snowy, the system turns off (and the driving experience is worse).

Seems downright crazy to not want these features. If you think "real drivers" don't want these things you don't spend enough time on the road. Commuting is not about "the driving experience". Most accidents are caused by people not paying attention, which is what these features solve.
There are no EU secrets on farming. You can just ask any farmer how they do it. The actual gap in farming efficiency between China and the EU is fairly low for most basic crops, see: https://ourworldindata.org/crop-yields and compare crop yield gaps.

It's very unlikely Jack Ma is trying to exfiltrate "secrets" of agricultural production from poor European farmers. You can just go and ask them. There are not really any secrets.
WASD is a pretty good place to start. They don't try to be fancy, just good.

My recommendation: feel your feelings, all the way through.

There might be some tendency, when you feel small, to feel bad about feeling small — as though it is further evidence of your worthlessness — and that itself makes you feel worse, and down the spiral you go... Been there (:

But if you make space for (or even _welcome_) those feelings, even if you don't like them, then in my experience you end up at a better place.

I only mention this because you seem to be beating yourself up about this ("I feel shallow/dumb").
You can feel bad and still be a good person; it's an easy mixup to make.

(I am reminded of this funny image: https://i.redd.it/9ubhqov2u9k01.jpg [1])

Also, not that this makes your feelings go away, but looking at people who are rich/smart/influential/famous is looking at outliers, and people who likely had a lot of luck in their background, upbringing, genes, education, being-in-the-right-place-at-the-right-time, etc. etc. to achieve their success, on top of their hard work. For every succesful indie video game, there are 1000 people who worked just as hard on theirs but didn't get a big break. The same is true in all sorts of areas of life, big to small. And just in general, FWIW, I don't recommend judging your self-worth by comparing to others, whether they're outliers or not (:

But sorry you're feeling down; *internet hug*.

Welcome to stage 7. (Don't mind the age ranges, which shift with time and place.)
I've tried (and designed and built) tons of mechanical keyboards, including various ergo configurations. None of them get any use except my two HHKBs. The new HHKB Pro S is easily worth the $350 or whatever. One cool feature - you can be simultaneously paired to 4 devices over Bluetooth and switch between those four and USB from the keyboard. It's like having a built-in KVM.
I have a Topre and various cherry reds and browns. The Topre actually isn't the best for me and I don't use it much, so I don't think I have a bias towards it, but I can say that the difference in how it feels is not subtle.

In that thread, you wrote:

> I'll write something, it will accumulate a couple to several upvotes, and then, those upvotes all go away over the course of a few more hours, sometimes to be replaced by net downvotes.

Maybe your initial upvotes come from one type of user and the later downvotes come from another type?

Starting about six months ago, I noticed that a lot of low-quality comments were getting voted up on HN. I feel disappointed. Previously, I would spend my downvotes on comments that tried to contribute but contained some error of analysis or logic. I would add a reply explaining the problem, or upvote an existing reply that did that. Nowadays, I spend my downvotes on comments that are low-effort: jokes, opinions with no explanation, knee-jerk reactions, ignorant positions, baseless assumptions, and emotional appeals. I dislike reading those kinds of comments.

I looked over some of your recent comments. I think some of them are low-effort. Example:

> Whoever thought not fixing a remote code execution bug just so they could use it to do something as trivial as tell the difference between their client and others should have been fired.

I think you're initially getting upvoted by people who are OK with low-effort comments. These folks spend a lot of time on HN and refresh to see new comments. They vote up your comment because they like reading comments. Then later, busier people read the story and downvote the low-effort comments. I think this is why you're getting initially upvoted and then downvoted.
If you post another personal attack to HN, we will ban you. We had to warn you about this just recently.

Appreciate the perspective on this. When you say "ENS will never be resolvable via the global DNS namespace", is that a technical limitation or something else? I'm curious so learning about how it works (or doesn't!), sounds like you have a lot of experience.
Pre-2015 Tacoma. Doesn't even have climate control. Has the Entune touchscreen stereo, but you can ignore that if you don't listen to music. Everything else is knobs and buttons. But also, keep in mind this is generational. A 2003 Honda Accord has an astonishing amount of digitization relative to a 1980s car. It used to be common for fathers and sons to work on their cars at home for repairs. Not just maintenance, actually fixing things that went wrong.

I think behind most nostalgia is a longing for youth.

Edit: it also seems like your account is on the border of using HN primarily for political/ideological battle. That's the line at which we ban accounts, because it's the line at which they start being destructive of the site. If you'd please fix this, and use HN as intended (for intellectual curiosity and thoughtful conversation), we'd appreciate it.

Don't forget that while you're having these feelings some people are shooting heroin in their veins.

It could be better, but it could be much worse.

You were not born to be the best, but the best version of yourself. If you don't have the genes, social conditions etc there are a lot of things you can't reach. But you should try to reach what you can so when death comes you will be satisfied by what you have done with your life.
This. Life is a constant process of reframing.
I think all of us have these thoughts and feelings. I'm in an engineering team, surrounding by incredibly skilled, experienced but most of all _committed_ (embedded) engineers - and I'm the only guy on the business side. If you've ever felt stupid, just think how the sole marketing guy feels in an otherwise fully engineering focused company. It's not a nice feeling.

Anyway. I've come to realise (suspect?) a few things:

- People who achieve _Great Things_ are, more often than not, unidimensional. They focus most of their lives one single thing (or a small select set of related things). What this means is that they achieve highly in one area, but are somewhat useless in many others (even somewhat basic ones). It's a personal choice whether you think this is OK or not. The book Range by David Epstein is an interesting read (or if you like horrible business buzzwords, 'T shaped people')

- None of the extreme achievers would be able to do what they do, without the rest of us. I don't feel this is some new age woo-woo stuff to make us minions feel better, but in reality if the base of society doesn't exist or function well, you can't go do the cool 'big think' stuff. Without farmers, Elon would probably either starve or have to go grow his own crops (bad example maybe, whatever).

- The people that do achieve _Amazing Things_ sit at (I believe) a very special intersection of inherent capability (e.g. ability to integrate information quickly), personality (often very driven and quite selfish, just lucking into very beneficial mindsets early on, don't suffer from depression), familial advantages (wealth, exceptional early education), geographic advantage (not just first world wealthy country, but even micro-geographic advantages, such as say Silicon Valley vs a small rural town) and probably a few others I don't have a grasp on.

So in my mind, the combination of the above factors not only enables _some_ people to achieve wildly, but also puts them on a path that they almost can't stray from. This strays into pre-determinism I suppose, but (in my mind) it's more related to a series of environmental and personal factors playing out, as opposed to Some Large Guiding Force.

I dunno, that's my current view at least.
For me it's the opposite, I much prefer Cherry Blue switches.
People will make a big deal about a date that is all zeros and twos. Eg. 02/02/2022 or 02/20/2022 or some other variation.

Other people will make fun of weird Murrican date ordering and propose some other date.

Arguments will be had about which datetime(s) should be considered palindromic given the different orderings, or some such nonsense.

I'm pretty sure adding $300,000 in salary to manage a $300/mo hosting bill isn't the best idea... but I do agree they'd be able to do more that just wait for something to break. AWS isn't bad if you have some discipline.
>Even then - there's no real path to a mature and maintainable language/framework.

Hopefully that is what Github and Shopify brings to the table. Instead of just using Rails they are now actively shaping its future direction.

>because a lot of the large employers have given up and shut down the RoRs projects

My impression is that the vast majority of Rails communities don't care much about its ecosystem growth. They are just happily using it.
For me, that version was too short.
In Teslas, my understanding is that the driver assist features also judge your driving quality in real time and send them back to Tesla as a score. And, of course, they use the same sensors and processing hardware. So they are related in that it tends to be the same cars using the same hardware powering both.
Even at basketball, Michael Jordan was bad in high school and only at his first couple years of college did he build the work ethic to make him what he is. He’s not inherently exception.

> what if i steal your private key?

As another commentator said, the key demonstrates the ownership so you're the owner now. Sometimes that's a bad thing indeed, but blockchains are very unforgiving at their core protocols.

> what if i upload a different NFT smart contract that gives me an NFT of the same image you have?

First off, images have nothing to do with NFTs and vice-versa. Yes, some NFTs links to images but those are uninteresting and hype-driven (or I don't understand it). Once a NFT has been created, you cannot replicate it as it's a single instance of a token (hence the name "non-fungible").
I think of race as an ideology- different groups seem to have roughly similar views about it when they have shared history- it's a social construct, so it's difficult/impossible to really convey to other people what it means to someone. For example, the concepts of white/black races seem to have originated in the US somewhere around 1700 [1], and are noticeably absent from older writings.

For some people, skin color is as meaningless as eye color, but for others everything is viewed through the lens of race, so it has the added difficulty that its meaning is context dependent. The racial jargon is often so amorphous, it's impossible to interpret literally.

Isn't the Tesla drive unit also mounted transverse? Or do you mean that there are more aftermarket solutions to resolve this for Tesla drive units?
> But I don't see what the NFT aspect adds.

It's a very good question, and the answer was conveniently left out of the blog post at hand. The reason art NFTs were created to begin with was because in the traditional art world, the people who make nearly all of the money are not the people who actually make the art. It is the art dealers and the art collectors who take the lion's share of the money.

The purpose of putting art in an NFT is to better balance the economics of art so that when the dealers and collectors continue to sell the art for increasingly higher prices, the original artist also gets some of the financial reward. This is especially important for young artists who are talented but are not yet able to sell their originals for a liveable wage or get any interest in a distributor to make prints.

A lot of people think NFTs are a waste of time and money, and I completely understand that paradigm, but NFTs are very important to the Artists who are trying to make a living wage from their passion. Ideally, this will contribute to even more imaginative art in the future.

I'd argue that Art NFTs actually share the values of open source software that were listed in the article, at least when it comes to improving "abundance, post-scarcity, universal access, and equality" for artists.
I vibe with/have been through a lot of what you're talking about. HMU if you want another friend, email in my profile.
GDP is the gross income of the United States. The revenue of the federal government doesn't quite have an individual analogue, because it's somewhat arbitrary (it is effectively a fraction of GDP that can be unilaterally increased or decreased by Congress, though doing so has side effects).

If you're trying to make a comparison with an individual, you'd need to come up with such an analogy. Gross income isn't it.
What I’m not sure about is whether the investors believe that will be the case, or if they just believe saying it will help the stock value. I see a lot of talk of how far Elon exaggerates, so I find myself wondering if it’s a bit of a shared delusion, where no one really believes the claims, but everyone thinks that everyone else believes it.
I'm not sure what your use case is but I think the Electra Meccanica Solo could be a good option if you don't need to carry passengers or much stuff. It does have a back-up camera, digital instruments, and keyless entry but no driver assist features.

I'm intrigued by this because I think it would be pretty fun to drive a single seat car on the road, but maybe thats just me.

What if it said: "change or block US and EU regulation/legislation that would impede growth for BigCo Marijuana Vape Pens"?

See the difference? One is protection for an industry, the other is a protection for a specific company.
They're not "actively blocking it" any more than someone holding a protest outside of the Capitol building is. The difference is that they have lobbying money, which is allowed and generally encouraged by the congresspeople themselves. Any consumer regulation that directly targets an industry is more often than not a call-to-action for the lobbyist to dedicate more of their budget to the lawmaker(s) in question.

> I realized how mediocre and untalented I was

Read Peter Thiel's "Zero to One" and rejoice then. One of the key ideas in the book is that to be successful you have to avoid competition, and build a monopoly on something to the extent you're able. The monopoly will be temporary, but you must have it to avoid race to the bottom which just makes everyone poor and depressed. The monopoly can be a technology, or a brand, or, in the case of a person a set of skills and a track record. In fact it could also be all of the above, but you _must_ have it in order to really succeed.

It is very unlikely that you're talented at nothing. It is very likely that you're fairly talented at 2-3 different things in fact, you might just not know what they are. So if you find those things and get good at them, you'll very likely to be one of the few people in the world who are good at those 3 things at the same time. And unless those three things are "watching Youtube", "shitposting on Twitter" and "scrolling Instagram", this skill stack could be very valuable, and someone would look at you much like you look at others and wonder how it is they themselves are so worthless next to your greatness.

For me the reason of the past 30 years or so, even the smartest people are not uniformly good at everything, and you can easily be better than them at a myriad of things outside their field of expertise. And that's why teams work better than individuals, no matter how talented that individual is.

> Now, I’m an unimportant technical writer composing documents for developers and users.

See, you're good at something others aren't good at. Most engineers can't write docs normal humans can read. Add a few things to the mix, change jobs 2-3 times to establish an upward trajectory, and you'll be unstoppable.

> My talents are shallow and honestly quite useless

Well, deepen them and make them useful then? You must differentiate to succeed, either through the quality of your skills, or through your skill stack, or preferably both at the same time.

> I blame it on the lack of time

Based on what you wrote, I blame your lack of time on excessive use of social media and the internet in general. You know it's true. Give it up, and you'll be able to focus again, have better relationships, better sleep, more confidence, deeper thoughts, more skills.

And for the love of god don't tell other people you're "bipolar schizoaffective". I'm sure it's a real problem for you but others don't want anything in common with that. Paraphrasing a vulgar Russian proverb: "Why would I want a Dick without a dick if there are plenty of Dicks with dicks?" ("Нахуя мне без хуя, когда с хуем до хуя?"). Don't ruin your chances out of the gate if your disease is manageable. And also don't use your disease as an excuse to not succeed. Plenty of people overcame much greater adversities than you'll ever experience.

Above all, if I could leave you with one thought: nobody will respect you until you learn to respect yourself. Do not self-deprecate. Do not use false modesty. If you're good at at least anything (such as technical writing), put it front and center and develop more skills in your skill stack.
Excuse the rant, but this comment tickled a sore spot for me.

If I want to sing or shout the entire way home without it being stored in 'the cloud' that is my right. If I want to change my own oil or tires, nothing should stop me. So much of this crap is jacking up the price of a basic conveyance and it just adds more headache, more proprietary parts, and more stuff to go wrong. God dammit I just want to ride to the store and back, stop pestering me like I'm some kind of incompetent child asking for unrealistic things. I swear to fucking christ almighty if I have to make a ticket for the Ford Genius Bar to get some basic shit fixed, I might just snap on the nearest nerd.
