I think complexity doesn’t have to be exposed by default on the UI. I’m not an apple fan, but I think ios finds a great balance between not having buttons for every single command (though behind menus it would be ok), yet still exposing it with some niche tricks you have to learn. For example touching the upper left corner’s clock will scroll up, which won’t be discovered by my mum but I can use it.
Despite the sanctimony, I'm sure there's at least a slim chance of you understanding my point: the distinction between "what ends up in node_modules" and any other application dependency is arbitrary and purely conventional. There are legitimate technical reasons to check dependencies into source control, but neither the reasons cited in the article nor any pompous ascriptions of moral judgment to software tools are among them.
the single most terrifying experience of my life has been to read biology conservation articles these last two years, coupled with my increasing understanding of climate change (literature). we often forget that ecosystems (that we barely understand) provide us with crucial benefits and should be considered as (like many planetary scientists say) Life Support Systems.

if there remain historians a century from now, i'd be not surprised they collectively call decisions taken now as "The Mistake".
I don't think anyone is arguing that the transitory periods aren't difficult, but the reality is that very few people would choose to trade their current existence for the life of a pre-industrialization peasant if they actually knew what that implied.

Ways to create your own luck
Compared to European cities (except parts of London or Frankfurt etc.), US cities have always felt dead to me. Even Chicago and New York. There's previous few places in these cities where one can sit outside somewhere interesting. Specifically, they exist in such a low concentration that no real public "life" happens, rather, life happens beyond closed doors of establishments.

Contrast this with cities in Europe where people just hang out, like for free, all around the town at rivers, parks, bridges and have a good time. It always feels like European cities place a premium on such public places, on the idea that a good time could be had without going to a commercial venue.

I guess this is why US cities feel weird to me... somehow compartmentalized and commercialized, even oppressive. I realize you are not supposed to walk "around town" in the US. Rather, you pick a target (Bar, Restaurant) and then go drive there. And that's fine.
I also know public consumption is frowned upon. But look at people sitting at the Seine or Canal St. Martin in Paris on a summer evening... sharing spaces between open-air restaurants, sidewalks and just public spots. It's a far cry from "rowdy drunkenness" that US Americans frequently imagine, and (to me), something is just missing without this public life.

And even more extreme version of the US model can be seen in newer parts of rapidly growing cities like Dubai and many new developments in Istanbul and the like:
Here, the city amounts to a system of isolated complexes, separated by highways or roads and with little walkability. Residential areas are also often physically shut off from the public. The closest you get to a normal space is a Mall.
I find just being there makes me depressed. Other's don't mind at all. Weird.

I live in a major migration path. A month ago, they were still paired up in couples. A couple weeks ago, they started flying in small groups. This past week, I've seen large flocks of geese in the dozens, and a flock of 80 sandhill cranes. The flocks are definitely gathering, but they seem to be running late this year, so you may see larger groups in a couple weeks.
I agree, but removing material which is illegal is also censoring. And he said they shouldn't be allowed to censor.
Dissenting voice here. I did not like the book. It's dark and unpleasant and contra other people here I don't think it speaks to any particularly interesting truths about how supposedly smart kids can be misled.

edited to add: I arrived at this opinion when I first read the book sometime in the early 90's, which I think is decades before the author's bigotry became public.
> 1. Charging rent would cost more administratively than giving the space for free, in 99.9% of cases. Yes, the city should allow the restaurants to "borrow" public space for free. People want this! It's in the public interest!

I don't see it. Imagine rent in Manhatten or SF - it's hard to believe they couldn't make a mint. People want lots of things that commercial businesses sell; that's not what public interest means or all business is 'in the public interest'.

> 2. This is false. Public "outdoor" alcohol consumption is generally acceptable and if put on the ballot would win in most places. It's legal where I live, in Austin TX.

Can you back up your claim about popularity? It's illegal in most places I know.

> 3. Sidewalks were built to encourage pedestrian foot traffic in cities. Outdoor dining also increases foot traffic. The two concepts aren't opposed, they are mutually beneficial.

That's called a public nuiscance: We could have concerts and everything else on sidewalks, which would both attract foot traffic and obstruct it. That doesn't lead to good results.

> We shouldn't become a veto-ocracy.

That doesn't tell us much: Do we throw out all laws? Traffic lights? The question is, where to draw lines. But let's assume our anscestors weren't idiots, that you and I aren't smarter than all of them, but that they were people who had good ideas that we can benefit from.

I thought Titus's tip spells it out pretty well. In Java we know Doodad is some.long.package.hierarchy.Doodad and not some.Doodad or some.other.Doodad or an.entirely.different.Doodad because we explicitly wrote that down. The tooling helps you with spelling but the language provides exactly what is needed here.

If you introduce ambiguity, the code won't compile.

In C++ too bad, you wrote Doodad and thought you were getting ::some::new::package::hierarchy::Doodad however that doesn't actually exist, you were thinking of ::some::long::package::hierarchy::Doodad and your compiler didn't complain because it silently concludes you wanted ::some::Doodad which does exist (maybe it was added years ago and is rarely used, or maybe it was added in the new version you got last week) even though you never actually wanted anything from ::some itself. C++ loves ambiguity, because now it's your fault this happened, you were less than perfect and as such unworthy of the power and grace of C++

Some people like the puzzle/challenge aspect as well. Plus somebody asking something you know the answer to reinforces that your decision to retain that information has value.

Residents of San Francisco have not been in my experience shy about drinking in public, or, for that matter, shooting fentanyl or defecating. These are rather everyday occurrences in the city, so I imagine people can handle some outdoor dining in restaurants too.

I really hope the future of social media looks like this; I love Mastodon, and as a user, it feels fantastic to be "in the drivers seat" of my social media again.

However, it's frankly foolish to think it's going to take over. I know I can't convince any of my friends to use Mastodon, or anything ActivityPub-related. It's not because it's too complicated (though for some reason people still think that's what's holding it back), and it's not because it needs more development time, it's because nobody uses it. People are stuck on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram because they're designed to retain you, no matter the cost. Every second you spend browsing is designed to lock you in further, generating more ad revenue. The social structure of these platforms is meticulously designed to make people feel like they've got more stake in the platform; you follow celebrities to stay 'in' on the gossip, you follow smart people in some faux investment of intellectual capital, and you follow successful people because you think that basking in the starlight will impart something valuable to you.

Of course, none of that happens. At the end of the day, it's just people scrolling through brief text/video blurbs where they retain little to nothing from their interaction, just adding more lubrication for the money-making machine to chew through. Oh, and if any of these smaller, federated platforms do gain traction, they're going to have to fight off billions of dollars in vested interest to keep them out of the game. The big influencers will stay in the pockets of the big players because they treat them well. The big players will ramp up their marketing campaign, acquire newer platforms or create their own spinoffs that diametrically oppose a free internet. There's always a bigger content silo to be made, and they're the ones with the resources to do it.
I think the problem is that there's lots of hidden costs or incorrect assumptions in much of the way society functions. We overestimate how rational people are, many costs get swept under the rug or ignored as "something for future people to deal with", certain costs are just hidden, we fail to account for corruption and fraud, and so forth and so on.

It's not really that we use abstractions or models, it's that many or all of them are incorrect, and we proceed as if they're correct, even when we seem to know they're not.

I don't think this is just limited to the environment. Sometimes I wonder if this is some defining feature of our age, rampant fraud or disingenuousness. Maybe it's always been this way, and maybe it doesn't matter.

Ouch.
If you're getting a high performance monitor DP is overwhelmingly preferred and available anyways, e.g. this monitor can be operated at full speed via DP 1.2 (though it requires reduced timings at least you don't have to drop chroma quality).

If you're getting a high performance TV then be prepared to dig into which input port set to which mode supports which actual data rate and features on which firmware because literally none of it is consistent. Also be sure to check technical reviews to see that it actually works, e.g. 4k120 HDR with freesync from my Xbox Series X didn't work with my TV for quite a while even though all of those things worked individually.
If you derive more than $8 of value from something, then buying the $8 thing is not explicitly off the table. But if you can get the exact same thing for free, or even just for $7 elsewhere, it would be really dumb to buy it for $8.

The cost that it takes to provide a good or service is useful for estimating the cheapest available offering. No one is actually going to sell something at cost, but in an efficient market with lots of competition the margin should be whittled away to something very low. If someone is charging significantly more for something than it costs to make, it means they are abusing their market position. Monopolies still need to price their offerings at a point where people don't rage quit and not buy at all, but their goal is to get as close to that number as possible while staying below it for the optimally large section of their customers.

Just because things could be worse doesn't mean they're good and you should be happy with the situation.
This is a misconception. Even 6 months of cognitive behavioral therapy spent working on fairly ordinary issues uncovered quite a few distortions and blind spots for me. My fresh outlook and newly found confidence made me noticeably more attractive. I found the love of my life without even really expecting to very shortly afterwards.

People want to start relationships with people exhibiting signs of personal growth and change.

CBT is great - it doesn’t require an experienced therapist and the time commitment is scalable.
Remove "initial" from my original post and my point still stands; Europe planned for them at some point, the US didn't, and what the US did - to this article's point - doesn't lend itself to adapt to these parklets so readily.
A good point, though many on HN aren't so happy about those outdoor activities.
Alright, can we get numbers going then, let's work through this.

But the handle DOES open the door. It’s just at your feet, quite clearly marked, instead of physically on the door. It’s specifically there so that if you are in an accident you can still release the door. It’s designed With the idea the car will see a road course and is far superior to a handle on the door.

Let’s dispense with the thought ending semantic wank.

Formal human languages are not as old as humans organizing around their biological impulse. All cultures have a history of oppression and violence, none are sacrosanct or deserve special treatment.

The past has never been a concrete anchor. I don’t see a British flag around my neighborhood, and money holders are fine gate keeping the masses when they’re handed stacks of cash.

There is evidence there is no truth to many beliefs.

Really? That's a development I wasn't aware of. I'd also assumed that was the easy answer to "it's an actual emergency and we need to move this SUV". They really lock the car from shifting into neutral without a key?

[EDIT] The more I think about this the more it bothers me. Being able to shift even if the car is partially disabled—including, quite possibly, whatever's responsible for reading a modern electronic key—is really important for safety, and also for generally dealing with a disabled car after it's come to a stop, which can also be safety-related if you're trying to, say, get it off a busy highway. Especially being able to get into neutral. That there's any possible way that failures in not-strictly-necessary-for-shifting systems could block that seems crazy to me.

This is typical Flanders-tongue but are interesting. The goal is not sounding femenine, is sounding childish. Something that can be useful

Porfa is used only when the context is casual. Porfi is extra-casual and childish but men can use it perfectly in the correct context. An example

> Por favor (Please) let me eat cake.

Not.

> Porfa (pleaaase, more pleading and casual) ...

No way, is for later.

> Porfiiii... (please,please,please... big eyed Cat of Shrek mode)

Well, okay...

> (bingo!)

In Spain using a childish tone by men is perfectly acceptable as long as you turn to the normal mode fast and you have a purpose.

Can be used to express a very close relationship with your audience. As a cute effect.

And much more important, can be used as comic relief.

When mimicking a child you reduce your level of perceived menace to other. Is like saying "Just joking, hehe", therefore you are triggering a calming effect in your public. Holi is the worst offender, but a big tall man talking to an afraid children could use it without any problem to express "I don't want to hurt you". Saying directly "I don't want to hurt you" could sound threatening instead (There is an implicit "I don't want... but I could")

An adult man will not need to calm other adult stranger normally, so in this context can do more harm than good.
Never use it all the time, and never in business or formal context because you simply lose leverage.
Excellent point. There has been arguments that subscriptions are mandatory for self-driven cars to keep them updated. But Apple manages to make complex devices without subscriptions with many years of updates.
I was a top writer too. The part where it completely went to hell for me was when they started recklessly combining all the questions. I had a lot of answers that were thoughtful or clever and specific to the actual wording of a question but quickly became part of an irrelevant mess.

Now it’s just a spam magnet and functionally useless. But it was not a single step into oblivion it was more like a series of bad decisions.

Still have the top writer fleece though somewhere.
We were told the same thing about cabs, and hotels. And even though AirBnB and Uber exist, the world is fine. Personally I even prefer a world where I can Uber from my AirBnB to a sidewalk cafe and have a glass of wine.

It always feels like European cities place a premium on such public places, on the idea that a good time could be had without going to a commercial venue.

Except that one of the nice things in European parks is that they have outdoor cafes, bars, food sellers, etc, i.e., commercial venues. I sometimes get the impression that the US doesn't think public parks should have any commercial elements, thus contributing to their lack of life...
> 1/3rd of all emissions are produced by 20 companies

Sure, but mostly they're producing goods and services that millions/billions of people consume. Getting rid of those 20 companies won't change anything.

I’ve always imagined that we’re in this situation of creeping ecological and environmental collapse because of a long buildup over hundreds of years of bad priorities.

But it isn’t. Most of the damage has taken place during our lives. Over half the carbon humans have emitted is after 1990.

This isn’t an inherited problem. We’re doing this to ourselves. Right now.

A Review of the Story of Ping the Duck
I think this is a great idea theoretically, but in reality for most papers I don't want to see the data/underlying code. While it would be great to publish data/code with the paper (in the field I've worked on the most, astronomy, most data is already published with the paper anyways), I don't want/need to look through a notebook with the underlying code of the paper in order to just read the intro/conclusions (and maybe one key methods section). Interactive figures are a great idea, but again, oftentimes I don't really care to interact with the figure, or fiddle stuff around, I just want to know why the paper is important and how I should use its conclusions. The two-column format of most papers is very useful for skimming. So instead I would argue notebooks shouldn't replace papers, but supplement them (as they sometimes do already, in fact, but perhaps journals could make it an actual requirement to create a supplementary notebook).

As the article mentions, scientific fields are gigantic nowadays, and skimming papers is critical when you're citing 100+ references in your paper.
The code is there to show that the idea is worth the discussion around.
