Everyone has choices. Authoritarian regimes are overthrown, slavery outlawed, political and economic participation broadened. The world is, very objectively, tremendously better to live in for the vast majority of people, than it was 200 years ago.

Sure, there are contexts where the individual's choices that could lead to substantial improvement are so risky and the chances of success so small that it's rational not to try. But that's still a choice. All that cynicism does is dress up that choice as having no alternatives so you can feel better about it. Which is a totally human and understandable thing to do, but can easily be taken too far and applied in contexts where individual incremental improvements are absolutely possible and have a good chance of success.

The last company I worked at had several people employed that had a max 20% time for open source rule. To do more or less exactly what you just said.

> I mean information channels to and from the central computer.

This makes no sense to grow exponentially then. Information channels grow exponentially in a peer-to-peer network but only linearly in a centralised one. You can trivially see this in computer networks. One server with eight clients will have 8 connections. Eight peers will have 64 connections. Adding one more node will make the centralised solution add one more connection. Adding one more node to the peer-to-peer solution adds 17.
Interesting article, but the main strength is the discussion of it on HN, isn't it? I wish it was a little longer, at least :D

Can you elaborate a bit on "resisting"?

Been a while since I read it, but iirc one of his examples is of fellow captives telling themselves they'll be free before the new year, then the new year comes, still not free, and those would be the first ones to go (your "giving up").

But the alternative I never took as "resisting" - but "purpose." Frankl's own purpose being the study of people under such extreme conditions, but his point (again, iirc) being that having that indefinite, daily, purpose is what keeps people alive and brings meaning.

Now, granted, it's been a while since I read it, but can you provide some color to this notion of "resisting" ? It'd be interesting if you took something completely different away from it (or if I remember it incorrectly and should be corrected.)
Fossil is a version control system — it's what SQLite uses and it includes a static site/documentation generator, which is (AIUI) what generates sqlite.org. See https://sqlite.org/whynotgit.html and https://fossil-scm.org.
Well, I definitely feel like a lot of people think that anime is overly sexual to a fault.

Now don't get me wrong, I like Konosuba, but if people don't like sexual scenes, I'm going to keep those kinds of shows away from them.

Its mostly a matter of matching tastes with people's expectations. If something thinks that sexy / horny scenes are bad, then its best to find anime that avoid those kinds of "fanservice".

There is certainly corruption, but there is corruption everywhere. I've lived in both eastern and western Europe and I'd say the west is not better at all, I'd say it's even worse because the corruption is higher up and it involves a lot more money. But the people there don't go around repeating how corrupt everything is and don't generate new corruption by making it normal. This idea of corrupt poorer countries is also somewhat propagated by the richer countries and it should not be embraced as much by the people living there.

Yes, I think we shouldn't use "black" to mean "bad".

Because we've had so tragic much of that, in various other ways, and it's time to just say stop that, we mean it, unambiguously.

I might be able to explain the thinking better, were it not 2am, but here goes... Imagine a little kid, of any ethnic/racial heritage, who's picked up on some of the prejudices around "black people" and class. Now try to try to teach them a computing class with the terms "blacklist" and "whitelist", and what they mean. Now you can guess where their thoughts are going, so you try to address that, by saying that you could also say the much more clear "denylist" or "excludelist", and also not have to explain that you don't mean to be offensive or hurtful, but you just really like calling it "blacklist" so much, that overrides all other considerations.
Thank you. It's hard to come up with good ideas for a nickname... and Shannon concept of entropy was one of things that led me into studying CS.

Out of curiosity, what is your app (and would it be of interest to the HN audience?)
I'm using Kagi at the moment and not only does it have nice features like this but it is also a fantastic search engine.

Maybe the best way to explain how fantastic it is is that I think it has a bang operator like DDG but I have never tested it because when I look at the results they are obviously better than DDG or Google.
I hear this all the time in less important software. A test can be made. And they don’t have to make the call to test this.

Computers are amazing. We can have them do anything we like. That includes testing the things we wrote.

I don’t think I have ever heard a case of “it can’t be tested” that was not demonstrably wrong.
If you're typing strings which include the * character, you must either escape it with a \ (\*) or write it in a code block.

I STRONGLY recommend the latter.

I think what you're trying to write is:

google.*##.g:has(a[href=*"pinterest.com"])

(I'm inferring that based on the italic/roman text in your pattern line. I'm probably inferring wrong.)

HN's markup interpreter will style any line indented by two or more spaces as code, and not interpret special symbols. The lines will wrap, however (wrapping is a relatively new feature).

They made banking computers, seems relevant there, and also typewriters from what I briefly looked at. Were the typewriters memory safe too? If they were not, what was the benefit, and if they weren't do you see my point?

By the forces of the market, POSIX won because it had more useful features. Personal computers where you were expected to load software yourself and were not connected to any threats? I do not see any reason for me to care about that even today, and its not because programmers had bad habits, they made reasonable tradeoffs, making worst performing software for nonexistent threats of that time is not teaching them bad programming, over engineering for nonexistent threats is bad programming. In non networked devices, I still see no benefit.
Moving the burden of assessing everything in a paper completely to the reader is an interesting idea but seems somewhat a step back when at the same time good and curated data gets ever more expensive. So the market for validated results is already not bad where those results "matter".

And not every paper has a lot of code or data associated with it. If you do experiments on organisms etc. then there is so much happening in the actual lab work - where would that go? Endless hours of video documentation?
At some point we have to ask ourselves, who does care?

Especially if you're running open source. Yes there are sponsored open source developers, but do the people who don't care even submit a bug report more than half the time?
Apple updated their release notes to instruct users to download Xcode from their developer website instead of using the Mac App Store version:

The cynic in me thinks that people who tend to rub shoulders with The Powerful tend to (for the most part) see them as well-intentioned (although perhaps flawed) people rather than to be critical of them. Because it’s better for your own self to have friends in high places than to truly look at what they do with dispassionate eyes.

I don’t even need to get into how The Powerful are viewed by most people (who are more of at a distance) who don’t have such incentives.
Pulumi with an Azure Blob Storage Back End
It read to me as an article written specifically for guys who are finding it very challenging to date women.

Therapy may help those guys explore why it seems so challenging. Or help them blow off some steam and process feelings a bit so they are calmer (and therefore more confident) in potential dating situations.

You don’t need therapy to do that, but you do need a certain type of personal relationship available to you, one in which you can openly and honestly discuss feelings. That might not be available to some guys, so therapy could maybe fill the need. (The article basically says this.)
> Public will buy into it because the cost of the car is significantly less than their competition.

That's not the Apple Way. Cost will be significantly higher than the competition, but it comes with a shiny, large apple on the engine hatch, and celebrities will make it a lifestyle choice product. Having an AppleCar will be the economically and technologically inferior, but socially "more acceptable" option.

And by then, people will have conveniently forgot normal gas stations/electric chargers won't work - gotta get to the premium-priced Apple fuel stations with the proprietary gas pumps/electric connectors. Users will eventually believe those are better quality, too, and when Apple finally is forced to adapt back to standards by legislative bodies, they will sell this as a "huge innovation".
I have been following this list from Jonathan Stark - Hourly Billing is Nuts.

- Prospect says the project "shouldn't be too hard" or something to that effect.

- Prospect has a strong idea about how long the project will take.

- Prospect replies to email in a way that indicates they didn't really read (or perhaps comprehend) my message.

- Prospect uses language that is too formal for me (or not formal enough).

- Prospect seems obsessed with price before we've even discussed the project.

- Prospect tells me that they have had bad experiences with consultants in the past.

- Prospect seems to run their business in an overly reactive way (vs a proactive way)

- Prospect refuses to engage in a Why Conversation on our initial sales call.

- Prospect can't answer Why questions to my satisfaction (and won't/can't put me in touch with someone who can).

- Prospect and I can't agree upon clear business goals for the project.

- Prospect insists on what I believe to be unrealistic goals for the project.

- Prospect insists on what I believe to be an unrealistic timeline for the project.
This is true, because the restaurants and other businesses actually have something to lose when they defy the petty tyranny of the city planning bureau. The bureau knows this, and it doesn’t like the idea of losing the power it has, so it comes down hard to punish those who do not kowtow to it.

On the other hand, the heroin addicts don’t really have anything to lose, other than freedom to roam around the city. Since city is not interested in depriving them of that freedom (as jailing the homeless addicts for disorderly conduct would be inhumane, according to San Franciscans), it has no tools to actually incentivize different behavior — it has no punishments left, and so it’s left powerless.
Some examples would be useful, otherwise it's hard to tell what situations you're talking about.

But looking at a random entry, they list Samsung Internet, Safari, Opera, IE, and others. That doesn't look like ignoring other browsers.
> 嗯嗯, was "cute" where a man should have just said 嗯. Apparently, this is the kind of thing that will get you.

Chinese people that I have talked to in Shanghai laughed at me when I said I liked using stickers (表情包)/emoji on WeChat. Apparently, guys are hardly meant to use them and that stickers/emoji are for girls.

Personally, I didn't take heed of their advice nor cared as everybody has their own way of communicating. I use 嗯嗯 stickers whenever I feel like it instead of 嗯. I use 哦 sometimes instead of 嗯 to annoy people and act like I am paying attention.

As an Asian guy, most of my friends/acquaintances in China are female. I have no issues talking to Chinese guys but tend to get on well with females there I guess.

However, back in London where I grew up, almost all of my friends are male. Confused? So am I.. lol.
The Liskov Substitution Principle Explained in .NET C#
In my experience cynics are just people who are afraid of the things they wish to be true, never becoming true, so they start to prophetically denounce the possibility of them ever being true to lift themselves of the curse of the hopes they hold deep inside. A bit like pessimists, but with one degree more of emotional disconnection — a disconnection of which they are sometimes proud of. Everybody knows the cynic telling their disappointed collegue how the signs have been there all along, how they should have known. Hope and actual positive attempts as a sign of being naive.

It is a defense mechanism, that they often confuse with "realism". A defense mechanism that also can successfully protect them of ever becoming happier or being part of any improvement in their environment.

The more you can actually do about it the less sense cynicism makes.

There's a huge difference between giving engineers 20% time to work on open source code, and choosing to fix a memory leak by debugging the OS rather than using a health monitor to automatically restart an app. For a start, there's no guarantee that the devs will succeed. It might be a huge waste of time. That's a massive risk.
The original generic TLDs have many highly-ranked legitimate sites.

The problem with extended generic TLDs is that the spam sites have managed to become highly ranked. Yes, there's good stuff there, undoubtedly. But search engines can't find it. At which point it may as well not exist.

I'm not a fan of outright blocking at this level without good cause, but it could well be worthwhile to block an entire TLD in cases.

> According to cynics, the world operates in a certain way, the elites are always the same, and will always be the same.

This already betrays a cynical outlook: “the elites are always the same”.[1] Yes, the world has been run by elites since the agricultural revolution. So now it’s just a fact of life (to the author). Attempts at egalitarianism (i.e. from capitalism to socialism to communism) have failed.

That’s what I am cynical about.

[1] Although you might be perfectly OK with this and thus not a “cynic” about it if you own more wealth than a certain threshold.
It can be reduced to actually writing proper C++ instead of C with a C++ compiler, already that basic change is quite modern for many folks.
The marriage comparison. Hmm. Not sure. Marriage has higher emotional risks and consequences (children) if strictly lower financial (if you believe your ventures bluesky dreams) but it also has emotional intensity and exposure of self which is not inherent in a co founder. Do you think Larry and Sergei knew each other that intimately, fears and doubts?

I don't really mean you don't have sects (hah) (although there's that too, you never know what quirks lie in the mind, maybe your Amish hangups are the rock it founders on in both cases..) -marriage is (or should be) a personal commitment through thick and thin. Irrespective of the physical intimacy, comes a vulnerability which if you shared with a co founder, you could expect massive asymmetry to emerge. There's no "for better or worse" in founding.

Many co founders don't expect to go down with the ship. Many marriages break on the rocks (Amish or not) but many survive, even the arranged ones. I suspect more marriages are successful than co founded startups in fact. Divorce is at about 30%. What's founder success rate?

I see stronger parallels to the Beatles and the Stones frankly.
The thing I hate most about Apple products is these secret member handshakes that are completely non-discoverable to anyone outside of Apples precious alumni. I’ve been using Apple products for years and I still haven’t figured out hall of these tricks and nor can I recall them when I need them. In fact I’ve even got as far as accidentally triggering gestures and thought “that’s handy” but then been completely unable to figure out how to re-trigger that gesture.

I really don’t understand the hate for menus. Everything is named and categorised. Ok it doesn’t translate to a mobile phone all that well but I also don’t see why desktop UIs have to mimic smart phones and tablets.

For me, KDE gets it right. All the key features immediately available. Menus for advanced features. Hot keys for anything useful (with those hot keys names in menus). And terminal integration with all their core desktop applications (like file manager, text editor, etc) so you don’t have to compromise between using the GUI or CLI.

KDE also makes tiling windows easy without forcing people into a full on strict tiling WM. Something macOS is appalling at - even Windows does a better job than macOS.
I assumed the Toyota brand still had great goodwill, so I'm surprised they'd tarnish it like this.
It is hard to write in Rust style in C++ since many libraries are hostile to it.

Iterators require at least two mutable references or mixing mutable and non-mutable references. Move-only types require a lot of boiler plate and accidental usage of moved thing is not detected by the compiler. Using std::variant feels like a trolling from the language designers who refused to provide proper type-safe unions into the language.
This is an interesting thread. The meta-issue here is that communities differ in their risk tolerance too. You just discovered that you are an outlier in your community.

People can agree 100% on the “science” and still disagree on the risk-reward tradeoff:

PS: the risk tolerance varies by issue. E.g. blue cities seem to have a lot of risk appetite when it comes to lenient treatment of crime. Or gun-use in other parts of the country.
I would say historical status is determined by formal city process, not any independent organization.

But the person leading this petition was apparently historian Daniella Thompson of the Berkeley Architectural Heritage Association: http://berkeleyheritage.com

Here is the association’s letter to the city after the house was denied landmark status: http://berkeleyheritage.com/letters/payson_house_appeal_lett...

> ... According to BAHA’s records, the Payson House is the oldest residence standing in its neighborhood and is one of the oldest shingle houses remaining extant in Berkeley.... It is BAHA’s view that the Payson House qualifies as a structure of merit pursuant to the City’s Landmarks Ordinance...

What are your criteria for who counts as a valid historical society? As far as I can tell the BAHA is the most relevant/appropriate organization in Berkeley in this context.

(Note: historical societies are made up of local residents, and historians can be paid for their work; local historians weighing in on specific buildings are probably generally financially conflicted, as well as generally biased towards preservation.)
