No... There will always be people living on the margins of survivability. Either too poor to afford food, and at risk of starvation... Or in a place too hot for humans... Or too dry for humans... If nobody lived in these places, then as population grows, people would be displaced to these places.

People at those margins then die when conditions change. I wish those people weren't family. But if it weren't them, it would have been someone else.

Even arterials and cul-de-sacs can be great if you build them that way. Many Dutch post-war neighbourhoods are built around arterials and cul-de-sacs, but they all have sidewalks, independent bicycle paths, and each neighbourhood gets a shopping center and 3 primary schools (protestant, catholic and public, because that's how that works here) within walking distance.

These neighbourhoods are denser than American suburbs of course; houses come in rows, and you get a front and back yard, but not an entire plot of land around your home. But that also means plenty of kids to play with. In the street, because often cars are required to drive at walking pace and playing kids have right of way.

I grew up in a street like that. I hated it, and preferred a real city, but it's pretty comfortable living.
Looks really heavy for a Haskell application. You have to install React via NPM as a dependency for IHP to process the JSX, effectively resulting in a framework for Haskell riding a big JS framework.

You can more directly achieve a purely functional approach to DOM interaction without the declarative cleverness of JSX from a tiny understanding of how the DOM works.
Domain blocking was some 10+ years ago, while "-site:pinterest.com" still works. I simply use Unpinterested, an extension that adds -site:pinterest to every image search on Google and have been happily ever after.

How do you do that? Resizing the window?

If I have to resize the window then it will resize other tabs. If I need to put this in a different tab then it is kind of a hassle for a site that does not look that welcoming to me.

Probably there are some middle ground here.
Thank you very much for your story.

My small work experience made me start to think that the problems in most jobs is that it fails to provide a few core needs and thus everything collapses. People stay there because rent implies regular checks but they hate everything and it becomes a shark pool. People will fight not to click on a mouse. This is all because of depressive work context. Doesn't take much to make people joyful and thus just motivated enough and bring fluid daily lives back.
> None of those things you listed represent “quality of life” in any capacity. I highly doubt anyone who’s working two jobs/60h weeks is spending too much time thinking about driving a sports car for one weekend a year.

As much as people don't want to hear it money is meant to be spent, only the perverse hedonic treadmill effect brought us in this scenario where it's used to keep the score

> They’re thinking that they just want a day off and that it would be great if their multi multi billionaire employer would give up some of his obscene and ultimately pointless wealth and pay them a decent wage.

Again, the gap has never been smaller. People rage would be justified if the process were to be in reverse or even slowing down, but it's only accelerating, we have just witnessed it.

A person in the same age cohort as Bill Gates, received the COVID vaccine at the same time as him or maybe a couple of days earlier or later than him.

I've cleared international freight through Customs for a living for 15.5 years now, it's been interesting watching the reduction in electrical components coming in. It used to be that half or more of the shipments I would process a day would be integrated circuits/memory modules/resistors/capacitors. Now I'll see memory modules once a week, integrated circuits might be 5% of what I see a day, capacitors and resistors I'll see a few times a week now.

The value of the shipments is way way down too, instead of seeing a few hundred thousand dollars of ICs in a shipment, tens of thousands of ICs, I'll see tens of thousands of dollars of ICS in a shipment with the count in the thousands because, presumably, that's all that can be had.

I also notice HDD, SSD, and flash cards/USB storage imports seem to be way, way, down - presumably because they contain ICs as well.

False. France has at some point subordinated access to non-covid related health services to vaccination status.

>They’re totalitarians attacking scientific proof, wishing that their magical thinking

Post a copy of your PhD please. Not only you are lying on easily verifiable facts as mentionned previously, but you obviously have no idea what is science and how it is made. There is a reason vaccination hesitancy is highest (~25%) amoung PhD level educated people: precisely because they know the limit of science and how it is manipulated in the public discurse.

There's two things to unpack here.

First, the major one. Yes, it is an insensitive example so a better one should be one.

Secondly, regarding your comment regarding progress, human progress is also not linear. It's not even constantly and universally pointing in the right direction (there are frequent regressions, some bigger than others), let alone advancing at a constant speed.

Exactly. Those houses always strike me as simultaneously extravagant and cheap quality. A weird combination.
> I’m considering ordering 18,000 oscillators and reselling the excess as singles via Crowd Supply

I've often wondered why no one offers something like this as a service. People who want to order a small quantity of some item with a large minimum order size could register their interest somewhere, and others who are interested could add themselves to their order, until the necessary threshold was reached.

Presumably the problem is one of scale, as the service would need millions of registered users in order to have a chance that enough of them all wanted the same thing at the same time.

For that reason, though, I'm surprised that Amazon hasn't offered this yet. If there's a product that sells as a box of 100 identical items, and you only want 1 or 2, you should be able to click a button that says "Let me join a group to order this product", and Amazon could charge a fee to split open the box for you and re-ship the individual items to the various members of the group.

If you wish to visit this exhibition, try to plan your visit well outside of the tourist season. The exhibition runs from February 10th 2023 to June 4th 2023, so my advice would be to aim for February, March, or early April at the latest.

The Rijksmuseum is situated on a square in Amsterdam alongside the Van Gogh Museum and the Stedelijk and draws a crowd for its special exhibitions and top pieces.

(Edit: Forgot to mention the Stedelijk Museum!)
“And of course you can rent a kid with no large financial commitment. It’s easy to raise them, house them, feed them, and educate them as long as you’re okay with spending 18hrs/day at your minimum wage job and your child never having a shot at more than a high school education. Of course this comes at the expense of retirement but as long as you’re fine with hanging out with the millions of other poor old folks, you’re welcome to do so under the same bridge as them!”

You have only this much bandwidth between business logic, the last trendy framework/language thrust upon you, the billion overengineering "good practices" adding clutter to your code base and the zillion intricacies of the latest kubernetes platform that "makes your life easier". Most devs have way more than they can work with a single human mind on their plates. Accusing them of missing out on the low level kernel stuff that is about 5 or 6 levels of indirection deeper than the stuff they work day in and day out is like accusing pilots of insufficient knowledge of organic chemistry to understand the jet fuel composition.

I agree with you, but at the same time I am also a little worry that this log4j2 exploit may inadvertently push us to the other extreme. Now every time I want some essential features to be added to a library, the log4j2 exploit will be brought up as a knee-jerk reaction.

At least we already got https://github.com/mattermost/logr, otherwise there could be years before we get to have a golang logging library with async logger.
>Yes, there are occasional exceptions where you don't have to repeat or replicate the experiments reported in a paper to verify them. But that is very much the exception.

And even in this exceptional case, the algorithm itself is interesting above and beyond the fact of its existence.
Sure, it isn’t stealing if you’ve built the labour and market system to cater to labour exploitation and wealth extraction.

Most here live a very simple life in rural africa and would probably be content to do so if it wasn’t for taxation and labour demand.

Sure we have our issues. Billions of rands poor out of this country, extracted by modern multinational neo-imperialists. If we blink the wrong way, the spectre of “loss of foreign investment” is always held above us. If we blink the other way, the rand is punished and ratings agencies come knocking.

I love my country and it’s people. I think we have enough to feed and house everyone. It often feels like other people are pulling the strings.
You mean you should let decide to monopolies and oligopolies what products and services we need right? There is no such thing as an ideal free market. Free market is an human model and therefore just an abstraction. The gap between theory and reality makes all the difference in the world.

Maybe Hacker News was able to stay home for months but none of my friends making minimum wage--sorry, essential workers--ever got a break. I think you're dramatically overestimating how many people actually got to stay home and for how long. And obviously there's big class divisions between who does and doesn't get to stay home as well

> I would enjoy an area with better tolerance to the other side's ideals, but it seems that's in short supply everywhere.

There isn't better tolerance on either side. You're mistaking agreeing with group think for tolerance. What is tolerated is just a different set of behaviors, but intolerance is high regardless for behaviors outside that set. You just don't see the intolerance when you agree with the majority.

Speak up, let your voice be heard. Tell those self-righteous people who made the same choices as you that they are the ones in the wrong, not so much on their decision to get vaccinated or wear masks but for deriding others for their choice not to do so.

I'm vaccinated because I had to to be allowed to travel, otherwise I would have waited this one out just like I waited out the previous pandemic vaccine - "Pandemrix", the vaccine against the swine flu which turned out to cause narcolepsy, especially in children [1,2,3]. I could join the choir but decided to tell them off. This gets me labelled as "anti-vaxxer" but I'll just sew that badge on my uniform where it can join all the other labels thrown at dissenters. I know the truth, after all.

Is it normal for researchers to get paid that much money directly to one of their bank accounts for collaborating with outside universities? If it's not normal, doesn't that smell a whole lot like a bribe to you?

It could be benign I guess but it definitely could also be a state sponsored or run operation to steal tech. It's not like China doesn't and hasn't pilfered outside businesses for their own interests.

There are young kids that drive carts and race and they don't confuse walls and solid objects. The reason we don't allow younger people to drive is because young people are bad at managing risk(I done some very stupid risky things with my bike as a teen, I could have broke my bones or neck),

Autopilot from Tesla that uses mostly or only cameras has the issue of identifying obstacles which is a much generic problem(that young animals and kids have it solved) so you don't need to appeal to the "age of driving" excuse for this guys.

May I ask which country this happened in?
It's not as simple as that. We ran a tight ship, extension-wise.

There were plenty of bugs in QuarkXPress, Photoshop and Illustrator to make our Macs bomb, and the fundamental lack of memory protection, process isolation and preemptive multitasking in Mac OS meant that the whole system was wobbly from the bottom up.

Also, my post wasn't meant as a comparision between Win95 and Mac OS. I just responded to a question about what Mac OS was like to work with on a daily basis in the decade of the 90s. Win95 wasn't around for half of it.

Despite saying he wanted to grow out of his comfort zone, he’s back at the same thing, now pontificating on YouTube.
I agree. Any community can only scale at a certain rate and maintain its culture. Scaling too fast leads to the infuxed culture dominating.

We see the same issues with immigration as well, see for example how many European cities are struggling with the prevalence of Arab culture and Muslim customs. They welcome the immigrants (the people), but do not welcome the changes to the culture of their cities.

What I want

A entry level role under a technically competent and empathatic leadership. I want to join team where I can learn, rely and apply. If you are quick to say, "This task to should be easy." or "I could have done it myself", please don't waste your time with me. I have worked with enough people who just demand things and is not willing to hear. I want to join a team where I can ask without feeling shame.

A team that is open to regular video chat reports/discussions, pair programming, collaborative coding and providing geniune support for growth. A team where I feel great to be a part of and probably even get performance bonuses and yearly raises. I know I am asking for a lot, but that is where I draw the line. :)

Who Am I

I have been freelancing in python development, browser automation, web scraping, data analytics using Pandas, Web Development using Flask+Vue for 5 years now with over 60 projects delivered.

I am looking to join a Data first full time contract junior level role in Data Analytics or Data Engineering. I don't get to work with SQL or Cloud services often but I am confident in my ability to work with them on a daily basis and have experience with Bigquery and AWS S3.

I was happy to hear this, because I took it as gospel that we were in one. I was told to worry about the population explosion and the coming ice age back in the 70's. So I take things with a grain of salt. (however, I am not a climate change denier)

So I doubt that birds a really dying off across N America. How is this determined? I've road tripped extensively around N America in all 50 states and all Canadian provinces and the most amazing thing is how empty most of the continent is. House cats are not roaming the wilderness killing birds.

If you told me birds are disappearing from urban areas I could find it more beleivable.
