This is very much how I type as well. A couple of other factors for me:

1) I learned to type as a kid at the same time that I was getting into programming. So my typing style tends to optimize for quickly hitting numbers, operators, random punctuation characters, and editor movement/selection/command sequences every bit as much as ordinary letters. (And therefore, I tend to find obsessively staying near the home-row less useful.) I find that I type a little slower at pure linear prose, but a little faster at code than many classical touch-typist.

2) Since I was a self-taught typist who learned to type on a computer keyboard, rather than learned a formal touch typing method that was originally designed for typewriters, I've been comfortable since the beginning with backspace being available. It always used to annoy me whenever I had to take a typing class in school where they emphasized accuracy and dinged my typing speed an arbitrary constant amount for each typo. I can usually sense immediately by feel when I've hit the wrong key, smoothly hit backspace, hit the correct character, and then continue with almost no interruption to the flow of my typing. I usually don't even consciously think about those sorts of corrections.

30km of hiking on is definitely not something that any healthy adult would handle in a day (especially carrying a extra 10kg pack). That's a good 7 hours of walking - at the very least my feet would struggle with that.
The word “perhaps” is perhaps wrong

The largest studies have shown the opposite — natural immunity is far more robust and long-lasting (but perhaps more variable in the population — which is why they want everyone to be vaccinated, even if they just recovered from a severe case of the virus last week - it’s ridiculous).
Deeply agree with your sentiment, yet, information yearns to be free? No not quite the right catchphrase. As a society we need mechanisms developed to rapidly peer review at a kind of instant level, "quality report", "new untrusted", "rehash of wacko". Some indication. Sometimes some twitter threads that are authentic do this. The disinformation threads badly need stronger vetting,

The lesson that was (or at least should have been) learned from the Space Shuttle was to not develop things that are obviously from the start bad ideas (as one of von Braun's Germans lamented "they reinvented the wheel, and made it square.")

Not necessarily, if they kill their host after a couple of weeks they will spread very effectively indeed, the longer the asymptomatic spread period the better for a virus' chances of moving on to a fresh host undetected. During symptomatic spreading there is at least a warning that someone might be contagious so this is a harder way to spread. And for some viruses it is even possible to spread after the host has died. What happens to the host itself after the virus has spread doesn't really matter. If a host dies before spreading and the virus can't be spread from the corpse then that will work against the virus.
I grew up on a farm in east central Illinois in the 1950s and '60s and remember the hedgerows along the township gravel roads which were on a grid a mile on a side. There were pheasants and quail and I don't remember how many other species of birds; no doubt less than the hedges in Britain, but still considerable. I don't recall when the hedges were removed but I think in that area they were gone by the 1970s. What a loss! And only in one lifetime.
This will end up just being really annoying and accomplish nothing, like most corporate password policies. It would be nice to see a focus on actually solving the problem, instead of the usual liability transfer. Best case scenario, the password is written on a sticker on the device. This is the norm where I live. I would love to see incentives for actual user friendly security enhancements.

Of course you do, if you're starting from scratch. But since we tend to work on the Internet, which has a long history and myriad data formats and protocols, we often (rightly) use regex to validate and parse.

How old are you? so I'm 35, USAian, and I had typing as a specific bit of course work (can't remember the program names) in elementary school (so 92-95ish?) and there was a class when I was a freshman in highschool (2000) that was 50% typing (different program, also don't remember the name) and 50% word/excel.

I'd absolutely believe that a lot of us on HN grew up in the narrow slice of time when computers were novel enough that people thought they should teach typing specifically, before that time: too niche; after that time: it's assumed we already know

Dekhn is correct in ascribing this to complex information systems though, it is the storage, copying, transmission and expression of DNA that gives viruses their opportunity. All of these mechanisms can be hijacked.
I think it’s quite possible to find a middle road there.
I found I am unique, I never learned to touch type but at the same time reaching for a mouse really slows me down. I realized years into using Vim that the reason I love it so much is that I can do all my editing from the keyboard and because it is a deterministic state machine (modal) I can have a mental copy of the editor running in my head while I'm not looking at the screen. This is important to me because I look at my hands while typing. When I use GUI editors like VSCode it pops up all kinds of fancy bells and whistles that when I return my eyes to the screen it no longer matches the mental model I had in my head and I have to do a huge context switch to re-sync; just like how I have to context switch when I reach for the mouse. Am I the only one has this method of typing/editing? Praise the creators for Vim and Emacs editors.

Unfortunately, it seems that way. If it isn't dead then it's on the endangered species list. Electron / web-as-native has clearly won and it seems like no one is even attempting to improve the state of native GUI development as a result.

From my point of view, most of the fusion startups have zero chance of success at delivering practical fusion energy. Some might have spinoff technology that's worthwhile. Just a few might still succeed at practical fusion (Helion is the one I'm least down on).
I never saw Lockheeds "show your work" on their proposal for a fictitious reactor that could supply 100 megawatts from a tractor trailer bed. Yet they got billions of dollars of funding for it. If I had a 100 tesla magnet wouldn't that be useful for tokamaks? Because iter's 17 tesla magnet isn't going to lead to a revolution. It is only another iteration over the JET tokamak which barely had success, but enough success to be a viable lead. If the government listened to crackpots like me they could have saved billions of dollars.

Its pretty simple really. A charged particle when it slams into another will gyrate in a magnetic field. If that magnetic field is twice as strong, the gyro-radius is half as wide. And the containment vessel would require half the volume. It takes many many strikes to fuse two nuclei. That is why it is necessary to have ultra powerful magnets. Because it might take dozens or hundreds of strikes, each one potentially enlarging the radius of the circulating plasma. Maybe stellerators have an edge but I don't see it with my limited knowledge. But simple brute force ought to get 'the job done'.

As long as you are paying by the minute for server time and by the byte-hour for storage, running out of money means you don't get any more minutes or any more byte-hours. No more server time means your servers just vanish into the ether. It doesn't mean they start returning error pages of being unable to write to the database.

They don't reach into your servers and meddle with your nginx configuration. They don't shrink your disk volumes to the amount that's already in use. That wouldn't be possible.

How is this different than your typical wall street trader in the 80s and 90s? The only thing that's different now is that access to these markets isn't gated behind class and privilege, anyone can participate. Maybe that's the most scary thing of all, not that this is different, but that this is how it's always been and we just told ourselves a beautiful fiction of "hard work" and "grit".
Because for you these are two distinct phases. But how many times you use a for loop for launching the same command multiple times? How many time you pass the output of the command as a parameter to another with $(command)? Or you use variable to save things?

Beside very basic usage, a shell is really a REPL for a scripting language. You can type commands but also you can do most advanced things (and that is what makes shell powerful). For example I maybe have to convert all the video files in a directory, and then upload them to a server, I can easily do that with a for loop in the shell, without creating a script.

And since you use both the shell to type commands and to write effectively scripts as in a REPL, that means that you have to learn another completely different programming language, the fish language (of course I assume that you already know POSIX scripting), and not only that, it's probably the case that only on your computer you have fish but it's not installed on every other system, so when you are using another computer (a server, a computer of a coworker that you are helping, etc) you will make mistakes because you confuse the fish syntax with the one of POSIX shell.

Yes, it's true that bash extends POSIX, and zsh too and it's not even compatible 100% with bash, but the differences are in things that it's rare that you will use in a basic script, and all these shells can understand POSIX syntax. A for loop it's the same in sh, bash and zsh (there is a shorter syntax in zsh, but the base one is the same), while it's completely different in fish.
This is great. I think the biggest value prop of POAPs is actually not highlighted in the article - they can be airdropped based on a scan of who owns a particular token. In that case, if you're doing a token sale, you can also airdrop to all the token sale participants POAPs as a collectible memorabilia. While the token can be easily resold, having the POAP in your wallet proves that you've been a 'day one' member.

That's powerful and encourages community members to participate early, rather than buying on secondary market.
Extremely, absolutely, definitely no. It's alive and well, and still being used for new deployments.
Not sure what's available in your part of the world, but in the antipodes we have a brand Veon sold by our Walmart equivilent.

Picture is more than acceptable, absolutely no smarts at all and the sound is shite - all this equates to an unbelievably cheap TV compared to the standard name brand TVs like Samsung, Sony etc. All it does is put a picture on the screen - there's barely even an onscreen display and all that does is let you change inputs.

I can't imagine using the built in sound system on any TV, so once your sound system is plugged in, the TV is imo as good if not better than something that costs 4 times as much, and if it ever craps out .... you're looking at forking out hundreds of dollars to replace instead of thousands.

For some applications, certainly.

But for applications with a large feature set - e.g. a web browser - if the policy author didn't use a particular feature - e.g. U2F security key support - you might be introducing a new source of problems that only advanced users can easily solve.

VC capital will have to go somewhere. You seem to be arguing against ad companies, which I understand. But there are so many other tech avenues that produce tons of value. Healthcare, logistics, green energy, power distribution, retail, agriculture, security, etc. So many domains where tech can provide huge value and upside.

There was a time when every startup used it. Now I don't know any startup that is. I suppose it's possible that the big infra managers use it with their teams. -- I wouldn't know, but the necessity for Ansible by the bulk of developers has evaporated due to containerization.
You could do that, but it would be pretty inconvenient in general, and more so when using quotes within the script. There would also be no autocomplete.
Thinking of practical production problems. We are using docker at work and it is great for deployment. But for dev setup it was painful.

Let me give you an example, I need three services running to be able to make changes to a package. The 3 services comes from the registry, so no docker files locally. As for docker-compose.yml it just starts the 3 services and builds the docker file for the package.

Now for the dev environment the way we are solving it is by creating a docker-compose.override.yml style. This works great isn't it ? The problem is we still need to support python2( I know, please don't judge). So we ended up with 2 dev environments one for each python version. So at the end I have two docker files for each version of python. 4 docker-compose files, one for dev and one for deployment. ( There are projects which reduced the docker-compose.yml files by adding the python-2 and 3 in the same file as different services but yes it blew up the file )

We might be overdoing this and completely wrong in the way we approached. I am open for feedback.
Ok, but that leaves the option that it kills up to 10% of the people and I can guarantee you that if that ends up being the case a lot of people will feel that we should have probably taken things a bit more serious in March 2020.

It’s funny ‘cause it’s true.
- Vaccinated people (presumably) shed lower viral loads. Just that both can spread them does not mean that there's no difference in transmission rates.

- Unvaccinated people are at greater risk of complications from catching COVID, so limiting the avenues for transmission to them helps curb fatality rates and hospital occupancy.

- And, undoubtedly, it's also an incentive for individuals to get vaccinated. Again, with the goal to reduce the overall number of hospitalizations and deaths.
> Where's the straw?

Seriously? The very first transformation you did was a straw man.

There are two concepts here. Do you understand that two things can have different importance? Do you also understand that some numbers can be larger than others? For example, 10 > 1.

So, "basic object field sub-types" is a pretty damn big error. Furthermore, I didn't say that this one issue made it worthless. I do think TypeScript is nearly worthless, but if this issue were the single issue with TypeScript, I might not say it's worthless. However, we have this issue, which is a big deal, and we have MORE than one of these type issues.

So, the statement "every type system must not have any holes and those that do are worthless" is not even what I think at all. A small, niche, edge case of a type hole would not make a language as shitty as TypeScript, and therefore would not qualify as a worthless type system, automatically. No, it's the fact that TypeScript's type system has MANY (>1) type soundness/correct issues, and some of them are quite serious and fundamental.

Using generics to "fix" the problem is a work around. It does not somehow make TypeScript's compiler correct. The fact is that the type system is broken/incorrect. There should be no need to use generics, and generics aren't somehow more correct in a type-theory sense.

> I do not see why this must be a dealbreaker to you.

You don't have to. But, I've had to research strange, inconsistent, incorrect behavior in TypeScript way too many times in the last few months. This is a bad language where a signficant amount of the type system is only giving a false sense of security/correctness.

> I think if you took the time to learn it you'd find the type system is actually quite powerful.

I've spent the last year learning WAY more about TypeScript's type system than I should need to. It isn't powerful at all if it's incorrect. Readonly types don't work, sub-type relationships don't work, generics sometimes don't work right/expectedly- where's the "power" in that?

I've been working with php since 2001 and that whole time I've been cleaning up bad ruby and nodejs and PHP implementations and knowing JavaScript well enough to code in whatever front end nonsense comes out from PrototypeJS to jQuery to ExtJs to angular to react on and on ad nauseaum. Throughout PHP was my actual workhouse. It's kinda frustrating when I meet someone super into JavaScript as a backend because I still choose PHP even though I have 20 years of JavaScript under my belt and love Es2015+ promisable JavaScript.

I'm not even really sure why python is so popular for DevOps cause I do everything in php and it's unit tested and works well with reproducible results.
You don't have to lie to paint the USA in an bad light. Socioeconomic conditions here have been in decline for half a century, and greatly accelerated in the last 13 years. Foreign policy has been failure after failure.
