A bit of a cross between exceptionalism and the ever increasing feature scope of browsers. We're delivering fully fledged 3D video games and video streaming apps via the web, pretty much anything is possible, and marketing/design/product development teams can see that and want to leverage it.

I much prefer simple text/css websites, but here we are in 2021, where the web browser is the most ubiquitous software delivery platform on the planet.
I mainly reply to Ask HN about topics I know a couple of things about, or laying out something for someone having trouble with a situation I've been through.

When there's something I will need, I'll just add it to TaskWarrior with the appropriate tags.

If it's a video, I'll add a +watch. If it's a book, I'll add a +read +book. If it's an article, it's +read.

It becomes trivial to list my tasks and have an idea about what I intended to do about it.

task +book

task +watch

Will give me a list of books, or a list of videos and I'll decide which.

I also have projects. For instance, I have a project in TaskWarrior named after the product we're building, https://iko.ai, and if there's anything I read, watch or learn that is relevant to that project, I'll add it there. I annotate things, add remarks, etc.

This was the seed for the knowledge base of our entire company, mind you. I just exported it and it became the company's knowledge base that was augmented.

I also note down things that I would have wanted to do if we had started all over again or if we were to build another product. Ever notice people's obsession on distribution and validation ? Yeah, there's a reason they obsess about it.

I add various playbooks on the technical side as well, such as instrumentation, monitoring, analytics. I want everyone on the team to know how to build a product and a company so of something happens to me, nothing happens to the company.

I tend to optimize for the ability to die without impacting the team beyond nostalgia.

I think people like to think of the brain/mind as a black hole/sink of the bodily processes and organs, but it has profound influence over them. Most obviously, there is fight or flight. But it's more subtle than that. The brain can influence inflammation in other parts of the body, which I can't back up right now, since it's just something I read in a science magazine a few years ago. Although here's something related about how the vagus nerve interacts with inflammation and metabolism:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4082307/

Emotionally relevent hormones, the most obvious of which is cortisol, influence all kinds of bodily processes like hunger, metabolism, energy, etc. And one interesting one I can think of in my own life is bladder activity - ever notice how, if you're on a long trip, you can hold in your pee without even thinking about it, but as soon as you get home and head towards the bathroom, it's like your bladder is about to explode? Or how you can still get up and pee even if it doesn't feel like you need to?

And I think many of us have probably had the experience where we got so wrapped up in an interesting and challenging task that we forgot to become hungry, and maybe even missed our opportunity to be hungry until the next day.

The point is that there was both scales of economy due to the Erasmus program and a lot of pan European research grants..

Being able to pull from a Europe wide talant pool was a huge benefit to the UK and her universities.

So there was massive, irreplaceable benefits just for universities lost due to the Brexit project.

Along with that Brexit has cost the UK a ton of money.. this net contributer stuff was literal propaganda.

The UK is worse off now, with less funding to go around.

Frankly, I think that HTML can likely be consumed in more languages than JSON by sheer virtue of age.

And there are any number of ways you could standardize the format of your HTML response - such that people who know the formatting ahead of time get the exact same benefits as they would with JSON.
Off-topic, but I disagree about React-query being a must-have. Putting the fetching responsibility into the components makes a lot of sense in a some projects, but not always. There have been many times where I wish I just went with RxJS to orchestrate the data flow instead.
More underappreciated aspect is variety. US tends to be very copy-paste - once you solve someone's problem well, it's quite likely your solution is universally applicable to large swaths of the market. EU varies not only country-to-country, but often even between departments of the same company in the same building. It's not just technology, even markets for beer or coffee are likely more varied in your average EU country than in the entire US
I think cannabis will eclipse alcohol once enough states legalize, and the federal winds shift in response.

It has no hangover. Its long term effects are not understood (a boon vs alcohol where they're known and bad.) It's edible and drinkable. And it makes your patrons buy food. The bar of tomorrow will serve cannabis infused cocktails alongside alcohol. From the moment of federal deregulation it will only take a few years, like the arrival and commoditization of boozy seltzers. Today's cannabis manufacturers in legalized states are already building the infrastructure to hit the ground running.
I miss the assortment of mesmerizing visualizations from the early days of Winamp. The succesor apps never seemed to offer the same quality of visualizations, and then that whole concept seems to have faded away.
I would say given the age range on here (informally feels like majority ~35-45) there are also probably a lot of reformed alcoholics on HN. I wouldn’t say it’s as addictive as heroin, but is more dangerous in some ways (heroin withdrawal sucks but won’t kill you; alcohol withdrawal will.)

Personally, alcohol is related to some traumatic experiences so I don’t like feeling remotely drunk. I definitely had a problem when I quit.
The Guardian aims at a particular kind of person who essentially spends their entire life in artistic theory and not the real world. They derive their worth from being able to quote at each other.

> There's no way you can make a software run on all systems without requiring at least some infrastructure. Do you want your 64-bit AppImage to install everywhere? To bad! it requires 64-bit glib to be installed.

Distributing applications with multiple architecture binaries and the correct one selected at run time is a solved problem. The original MacOS did it as far back as the 68k/PPC transition and the concept has been supported by NeXT/MacOSX Application Bundles since the beginning.

At the current rate America consumes food, I'd bet that there's a _negative_ correlation between amount of food consumed and health.
The Linux support is basically Debian Buster/Bullseye aarch64 in a custom container. Basically you can use every Linux program.

> Every few months we have to [...] come up with both positive and negative feedback.

I hate this so much! The company has decided that my colleagues deserve negative feedback for their work (why? no reason at all, just to remind them of their place I guess), but I am the one who is told to make up some and deliver it to them. Fuck no! How about you play your crazy mind games yourself. Next time, will you also ask me to spit in their faces?

So my "negative feedback" is usually of the type: works too hard, or cares about the project too much.

The real reason for this forced negative feedback is probably to give managers some material to quote when your colleague will ask for a raise, so they don't even have to bother making up the reason for rejection themselves. As a bonus, if the colleague knows that you wrote the part they quoted, it makes you the bad guy, not the company.

Are these new trends in company management modelled after abusive relatioships? Or is this just the natural behavior of people who are born to be bosses?
I agree - there is usually a way to be honest without being brutal.
Perhaps some of specifically what the parent mentions is about status, but the recruiter hate starts from recruiters sucking. Recruiters doing something useful for me is actually far less likely than just having a successful application randomly on the internet. At worst through much more of my time is wasted talking to them, because they don't help, and often intentionally obscure details that should be available.
OP is slightly out of date: https://tradingeconomics.com/japan/inflation-cpi they have pulled out of deflation.

The Japanese government is beyond Greece levels of debt. 266.2% https://tradingeconomics.com/japan/government-debt-to-gdp

They basically can't take on additional debt, who will finance that at any reasonable rate? So the last spot for the government to place their debt:

https://tradingeconomics.com/japan/central-bank-balance-shee...

They are beyond bankrupt but their honour as a people means they won't default. They haven't balanced their budget since the early 1990s and are just paying the crushing amount of interest. Their tax payers pay significant money for literally nothing and thusly their politicians have a decision.

Do you cut services provided? They are so bankrupt that they basically have to shutdown singlepayer healthcare and education. Obviously no politician will ever make that decision. So what's the other option? High taxes. Japan's corporate tax rate is >30%. There's no other developed country with such a high corp tax rate. How about personal tax? Japan is >55%. There is literally only 2 other countries with higher taxes. Lets not forget the 10% sales tax.

Their total tax burden isn't 95%, but it's not far from it. No surprise at all that their country has serious economic issues and I dont see Japan ever turning this around. How do their people live off ~5%? You dont.

All the stuff from before you were born is curated for you by society. It's pre-filtered, the cruft has been removed and for the first few years of your life you have no control over the filter.

Then, as agency is attained, you get increasing exposure to the great unfiltered, and you find hidden treasure and trash and you learn what you actually like and dislike - in preparation for the filter you apply to your own children - which helps to define you, to yourself.

Then you get a job, partner, mortgage / rent, kids, and, just the requirements to being able to afford all that goes with that, removes the time required for 'agency' and so you're locked in a fairly tight decade-era of culture for the rest of your life unless you actively choose otherwise; seeking out the alternative, following rabbit holes, opening yourself to the full spectrum of colour that is within surprisingly easy reach, following threads that your natural tendency for the easy path would be to drop.

Most of my favourite music that I listen to now is recent. My old favourites are from when I hadn't heard my new favourites. Some of my new favourites are contextual around life stages and activities I hadn't reached or participated in earlier.

I missed Mad Men, tried to start it a couple of years ago, realised it's 92 hour-long episodes, and worked out that I didn't have the enthusiasm for it after getting through a few episodes because the combination of my friend-base and entertainment value I was getting from it didn't add up to being worth 92 hours of my time.

Recently watched Berserk upon the recommendation of a work colleague. Worth it.

Squid game, worth it. For me anyway.

Live action Cowboy Bebop, enjoying it a couple of episodes in, will continue.

Know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em. But first, you gotta know yourself.

Listen to music you don't like to better calibrate what you do like. Watch the occasional blockbuster movie to help your appreciation for real film.

Can't see, hear, taste, or do it all, find your own channel but make sure to rub up against the edges regularly enough to determine if you need to change channels but didn't realise it yet.

Culture is about stories from which life lessons are learnt, and there are a lot more TV shows, movies, and songs than there are life lessons, so as long as you check those edges occasionally, you'll be pretty well covered.

The Wire destroyed and rebuilt my view of the world, and work, and government, and leadership and morality. The song King Kong as covered by Tom Waits recalibrated my musical brain (which was already uniquely calibrated by Mr. Bungle in the late 90's), The Mighty Boosh and Rick and Morty have been journeys into imagination like I never dreamed.

No. There's not too much culture.
I have been toying with doing this to simtower for awhile. The disassemblers are a bit all over the place with respect to Win16 NE code though. Bit annoying to do though as it uses a decent amount of the win16 API so those bits have to be done too sometimes to figure out what is going on. Though it is fairly decently documented so you can block off the game bits from the win16 bits and just skip past the crazy way win16 loads dlls up.
This is like a cook at a restaurant burning dinner and then telling the patrons they needed to go on a diet anyway.

The US bought 77M barrels of crude oil in March 2020 under a Trump executive order. The purchases were directly from US producers, but WTI was trading around $20-25/barrel in that period. Selling 50M barrels now is going to profit the country by $50/barrel (before holding and transport costs), so by all measures this has been a good trade for the country!

While researching this I was also reminded that we are already selling 20M+ barrels per year from the SPR. Many major budget bills over the past 7 years included a sale from the SPR as part of the funding. We also need to pay $450M for overdue maintenance on the SPR itself - and you guessed it, that was "paid for" by selling 10M barrels from the SPR this year. This is not a petroleum reserve anymore, this is a budget reserve for Congress to balance its bills.

Governments shouldn't even consider taxing electrics. Trucks create the majority of road damage (https://www.insidescience.org/news/how-much-damage-do-heavy-...). Trucking companies should pay for the roads along with gas powered vehicles and if that gets prohibitively expensive then get an electric car or send goods primarily by rail. This is the real challenge of fighting climate change, many powerful and wealthy classes of people and businesses are going to have to pay for more of their share of their negative externalities.

> Food poisoning is much more common than lightning.

I said as much. The question is whether botulism is more common than lightning.

Food poisoning is not uncommon, but can be caused by many pathogens, for example E. coli.

Given the fact that we have a common illness but very few confirmations of C. botulinum as the cause, the question stands whether this is really a risk in practice.

Edit: I see that there exist a "ProjectM", reimplementation of MilkDrop (Ryan Geiss 2001, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MilkDrop). The scripts ("presets") are as expected open and are ".milk" text files to be placed in a directory (/usr/share/projectM/presets). Large backward compatibility with the original scripts exist. I see at least a collection is found on archive.org ; another is at mywinamp.com ... I see the github repository also links to big collections ( https://github.com/projectM-visualizer/projectM ).

ProjectM does not need a player: it listens to the played audio for the beat etc. But I understand it is also embedded in Kodi, Helix, Silverjuke and Silent Radiance Distance Disco. ... It seems also VLC uses it (not on all platforms, they write).

Agreed. It becomes a checkbox exercise for HR - “we developed a performance review process”.

The further along I get in my career the more I realize it doesn’t really matter. Do what you think is right. Take feedback but don’t treat it too seriously unless it impacts team performance.

If I take a step back it seems to me most companies are a thousand monkeys banging at a thousand typewriters.

If you can produce something from that chaos, that’s what matters, not some HR form.
I think this article is not providing adequate alternatives.

Most programs link against quite a bit more than libstdc++ and you clearly can't expect users to install a bunch of packages to get their program running. Those extra libraries usually take up most of the space in a package. If you include all the shared libraries you need, apart from the system libraries in your distribution, you pretty much have an AppImage already, just as a tarball instead of a squashfs image.

I think GOGs path is not horrible, but it is much less effective at making Linux a viable alternative as a gaming platform. They literally only support Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04.
