“Since the pandemic, it’s just gotten dramatically worse,” he told me. “I mean, it never used to be this stressful to rent a car.”

Ah, we come to the heart of the issue. The global pandemic finally affected the pampered customer, and that can not be tolerated.

We get to travel in metal tubes in the sky going hundreds of miles per hour. When we land, safely, we can spend a pittance to borrow a practically new $25,000 piece of machinery and take it on a joy ride. And we can do this virtually anywhere in the world, with nothing more than a driver's license and a credit card.

This is an amazing miracle and these people are acting like it's their birthright. Yeah, it's gonna take a couple hours for your miracle to be ready. The world is kind of dying right now. Meanwhile, trains, subways, buses, and taxis still exist. But if they don't get to drive their own machine whenever they want, look out - they might write an editorial.

Thank you, I appreciate the discussion rather than downvoting.

Do you think that a weakening current with more water in the atmosphere (atmospheric rivers) will lead to more or less snowfall? Not being sarcastic, it’s just that if both things are true it would indicate that the prediction in this article is wrong.

Unrelated, what are your thoughts on the carboniferous period with 800ppm CO2 and 0 degrees difference in average temp. (This is according to Wikipedia, I can appreciate if the answer is Wikipedia is not reliable on this matter)

Me. It is my consistent experience that traffic from DO's netblock rarely (actually never IRL) brings good tidings.
I use SQLite quite a bit and I think it's fantastic, especially since Hipp seems to be a wonderful guy (judging by The Changelog podcast).

And you're right - use the tools you know and have running. I have all sorts of schemas and tables on that old instance, since I tend to use it if I need "anything SQL" - when I'm at home, is it as easy as using SQLite. My latest article used Trino and Hadoop-adjacent stuff... while fascinating it its own right, sometimes it's nice to just say "jdcb:// ..." :)
To combat brigading, basically. There were automated tools used by people to achieve particular thresholds of dislike counts on videos so as to trigger automated moderation conditions, suppressing content and achieving a temporary shadowbanned, forcing the creator to engage with human moderators to mitigate the damage.

They probably found that dealing with such false positives was more expensive than turning off public view of dislikes. The decision reeks of soulless bean counter thinking.

I switched my default to DDG about a year and a half ago after what I assume was am A/B test that filled the first 3 screen lengths with various Google Widgets, and 90% of the first page results were links to Google products which for the search query was not especially useful. And that's with ads blocked. I've been bothered by Google's business practices for a long time, and have switched to Firefox as completely as possible, but I'm still tied to Android. For some very specific searches Google is still better at surfacing good results. But even when Google results are really good I usually have to scroll past so much first party feature lard that the experience is taxing.

It's not a perfect system, but it generally works. Yes, some people will be too poor to afford the gas to get the hospital at 4x the price. But some people are already too poor to afford the gas at 1x the price - and it similarly sucks.

The price going up means that there is gas for someone that can afford to pay 4x to take their wife to the hospital. If it didn't go up, the gas would still be hoarded only moreso and there wouldn't be gas for you to take your wife to the hospital at any price.
I don't understand how you could do complex logic using this way. Is it possible and easy to say have multiple form elements share validation logic? It definitely looks great in many ways but I'm unsure how I wouldn't need to use a more complex framework like Svelte eventually anyway.

Fair enough. I like having explicit control over that but I don't expect everyone to have the same preference. That said, if your browser keeps cookies, that preference is saved so it's really something you need to do once.
It's tricky. Typically you get thin rods and do each serration individually. Spyderco sells their "Sharpmaker" for this. It's a bit overpriced; you can find decent substitutes elsewhere.

Generally non-serrated edges are preferable unless you have a special requirement, like cutting rope. That yellow Native is part of their "salt" series for people who work on/around boats and water, and hence need to cut rope for sails, etc. Here corrosion resistance is obviously of paramount importance, which is why they use different steels for "salt" knives. There are also plainedge Natives around, for example: https://www.smkw.com/spyderco-native-5-lghtwt-blue-frn.
Then yeah, I get what you're saying and I agree.
I've read a few years ago an estimate revenue at $180/user/year in the US. Rest of the world was lower.

Many here would pay $5/mo, but probably only a handful would pay $180/year.

Now imagine the hundreds of millions they serve. Safe to say most wouldn't pay even $1/year.

Also, if Google loses even 10% or 20% of their audience, the overall value lost will probably higher due to network effects.

I would also not bother blocking them… I intentionally tolerated ads for years, the flash era was pretty bad… but almost quaint compared to the onslaught of ads that know everything from who your friends are, how much money you make, and what dandruff shampoo you use… (plus that one time you googled “butt plugs”)

and for what? so they can still occupy the majority of screen space and intentionally distract me?

yeah give me the buzzing “swat the fly” ads instead please

makefiles in general are something that I quite frankly never figured people use with anything (forgive me for saying it) but "old-school C"... but I started using them earlier this year (the linked article is from Feb) after finding a makefile in a Python GitHub repo. I've since created one for most of my Python and go repositories and they've been a great tool. It has, however, not occurred to me to use them in place of actual pipelines (as the linked comments suggest), so I'll definitely try this soon, thanks!

That being said, a lot of what I do on my blog is stuff I don't get to do at work - Airflow being one of those things that has been "abstracted away from me" for too long...

Agreed. That was my reaction at the time I came across this. I got the impression that some felt it was cruel to leave them in such a primitive state. That was not my feeling at all. I felt there was a lot to learn from them as an antidote to modern anxieties and neurosis, but that opportunity is lost. My original comment was made out of fear that when everyone is on the internet, something important will also be lost.
I've been quite happy with DDG, serves about 80% of my needs.

I said “fuck” like, twice in a 3 hour hangout with a group of “friends”, all something around their mid-20s.

At the end of the night, I was pulled aside by one of them and was told “we like having you hang with us, but you can’t be swearing like that around us.”

These people exist. In much larger numbers than you think. And they are much more demographically spread out than you’d think.

Edit: I don’t really hang with them anymore.
The guy said the lockdowns are “complete and total madness.” That’s not reasoned debate, that’s being, literally, an extremist. Not just an extremist, but one acting against the public health interest according to lawful authorities.

The value of lockdowns is arguable, of course. But we aren’t insane for wanting to cut the circuit of virus transmission. Seems to me one of the reasons lockdowns don’t work better is people are bucking against them in the first place.

I assume that LinkedIn has some semi-automated process for deleting harmful speech, and it doesn’t work very well.
> The bullshit detector is usually intuition and, very rarely, is what's called 'wisdom'. Intuition is what I'd describe as "the right feeling" - ability to "hear" truth, in a sense.

Careful there. In many domains our intuitions are notoriously unreliable, given they're informed by our culture, upbringing, past experiences, genes, etc.
I scan the first 2 pages for any topics I think are interesting, and open them in new tabs. Then I come back to them at least a couple days later (after most people have commented) to read through the comments. This means I usually don't comment myself because it would be days late. I pretty much only comment if I think I have something clever or insightful to say on the topic.

I'll usually go through my HN tabs once they start to hit a critical mass and I have some time to kill, beginning with the oldest tab.
Or those things are not true. They’re definitely not sources. Let’s try again.

I think Fussell is on the money. Take sense impressions from GTAT but not much else. Fussell wrote remarkably honestly about the paralysing fear war brings. I think both Graves and Sassoon skate around a bit on it.

Richard Holmes writes well about the trench warfare in "tommy", using sources like surgical & medical notes.

Pat Barkers "regeneration" trilogy from 1991 is about (amongst others) Sassoon, Graves, Owen, and the psychologist who treated Sassoon in Edinburgh. WHR Rivers was an interesting man in his own right. It's fiction but beautifully researched and written. I would not personally call Craiglockhart "outside" Edinburgh, it was a developed suburb of the town even in those days I think. Maybe the conurbation was less dense then.
Why only one play per day? You have the user’s attention and if they want to engage further they have to wait an arbitrary time (depending on how close it is to the following day), and during that break any manner of things will occur that may distract the user into forgetting to ever come back.
I have a $5 rectangular chef knife that I got in Chinatown. I'm sure knife nerds would consider it crap, but it works fine. I have to sharpen it now and then. Dunno if that counts as maintenance. The simplest way to sharpen a knife is with a slack belt sander. I don't have one of those so I just sharpen it freehand on a cheap stone. No idea what I'd do with a fancy knife if I had one.
That was way more complicated than I expected. Wow, what a journey that... not sure what to call it at this point... entity has gone through.
> I’m not aware of any method of taxation that doesn’t affect price signals.

Well, you could distort price signals less by:

(1) Not selectively favoring capital income in taxation via a reduced rate for long-term gains, and
(2) Not selectively disfavoring labor income (beyond #1) in taxation via payroll taxes.

This would also, on a revenue-neutral basis, effect an upward shift of tax burden (downward shift in after-tax income) compared to the status quo, given where labor and capital income dominate.
> IMO, it'd be better if these sparse efforts would get focused on _one_ solid, no-frets, no-hassle, Linux OS that ordinary people could trust to be stable and reliable for years to come.

I think that's conceptually a misunderstanding of how open source development works. If five people work on five different distributions, then that's generally because these people have different ideas of how they want things to behave and are motivated to work on realizing these ideas. If you would try to "focus" these "sparse efforts", you wouldn't end up with five people cooperating on one common distribution, you would end up with five people no longer contributing at all since the common system no longe represents their personal motivation for working on it in the first place. (That is if you would be able to magically stop the old distributions)

Now if this is a good or a bad thing depends on your point of view. Is it harming "mass adoption"? Probably. Is "mass adoption" actually a reasonable goal for an open source ecosystem? Probably not. After all non contributing users don't really provide much value to the projects they are using, especially if they still need support. (I'm not trying to say that open source projects are or should be hostile towards users, just that increasing adoption is not necessarily a priority.)

In reading through this thread, I am not getting a clear picture.

What's the evidence for "existential risk"? The IPCC's own estimates places economic losses stemming from climate change at "between 0.2 and 2.0% of income". If global is really going to wipe us from existence, then surely the economic losses will be much greater than 2%?

Maybe not nohup itself, but I often do simple background tasks + a blocking `wait` statement in a loop, for instance here: https://github.com/chollinger93/debian-scripts/blob/master/u...

Or, of course, script something in a language of your choice.

The second part isn't really a "right to disconnect from work" as much as it is forcing employers to be explicit as to whether the job allows you to disconnect from work or not. That's still a step in the right direction, though.

It seems to me scientists still find unexpected things.

I think when people first tried to model the three body problem, the planets would just fall apart. But in reality they don't, so they knew they had to try harder. I wonder if many doomsday models are like the three body models that fell apart. And newspapers go "scientists show that earth could float off into space soon".

I eagerly await the day when society gives up on "radical new paradigms" and starts to look at time-tested approaches. I mean if we want to eradicate drugs, there are examples of countries that have successfully done so right now: China, Singapore, etc. The fact that the US hasn't yet done this makes me think that there are some forces out there that WANT Americans to be dependent on drugs.
Individualism emphasises negative rights, but positive rights are important too: life, health, air, food, etc.

Why would some have no income if minimum wage was higher? The other possibility is that profits would be lower. Minimum wage has increased in the past in various countries, the effect is always pro-worker.

Or we could rationally plan economies to meet everyone’s needs. Enough homes can be made and we already produce more food than necessary.
