Not much, I still just wanted to raise attention to the fact, that not everyone feels like more blinking lights are

"Adding some joy to the world"

for everyone. I mean, do you enjoy blinking banners on websites? I doubt it. Well, blinking lights in real life are pretty much the same to me. They either are important, like sirens - or they are noise to me and actually quite a lot of other people. But you have fun with your toy in the spirit that you will add joy to the world.
Good advice, thank you.
You raise an interesting point and perhaps it is both. I think it’s possible to experience negative or awful things and still grow - silver linings and all that. Does that make it good though? A much more serious example could be someone that survives cancer and now has a new found appreciation for life. I’m not sure that makes it “good” even though there were some positive outcomes. The difference of course is that I was never in any danger - though in the experience I certainly didn’t know that.

I am unsure about persistent long term negative outcomes from psychedelics - you bough I know several people that tried them once, had a rough experience and never touched them again.
Mate, it was a joke. Nobody seriously think he is several people.
Code quality should be handled in review. If you're deliver buggy code, then thay should be addressed as the bugs come up.

Is that something that should've been caught in integration tests? Why did it pass review then?

As long as it's not a pattern, it's not a problem.

If something super severe happens - that's an organization-wide problem...
In New Zealand to publish a game or a movie you must have it go through the office of film and literature classification. If it is not classified then it is banned by default.

One example of a relatively recent ban of something popular is the anime High School DxD. Ikki Tousen was also banned. They seem to ban a lot of Japanese made stuff.

Postal 2 is a game that was explicitly refused classification. This doesn't just mean that selling the game is illegal - afaik possessing the game is also illegal.

But ultimately what's banned isn't as important, because they're operating with a whitelist. Everything's banned by default until they get classified. If every country operated a system like that then it's likely most games and movies either wouldn't get published in NZ or would be published on a delay.
I find generators useful when working with very large data structures because generators can be pretty efficient. You can also use them to write little helper functions. Have a look at this package and its source [0]. Oh, and don't feel bad if you never have a need for generators! For the longest time I felt like a steal for rarely using classes but I am over it now :)

Cars are designed to intentionally accelerate you to speeds that easily kill you, though, and carry along a vast amount of stored energy. Buildings are designed to stand still and generally not be flammable. The expected value calculations are seemingly quite a bit different.
Hey tomcam, not sure if you got my email :-) Take a look at my project (in profile) with dark theme been running since 2016, I have improved it recent v2. Most recent improvements are not on public website yet (soon). You are welcome to take some ideas from it ;-) Hope it helps! Happy holidays!

If this is a thing people can actually build, government would have a hard time stopping them, or even knowing that people were working it if they decided to keep a low profile. It might not even require specialized hardware, or a particularly large software team.
I see a stories here of happy Soviet people. One from current Russian minority (upper class back then by default) and one from party member. Let me tell you my family story. My grand grandfather was a clerk in independent Lithuania’s court before Soviet occupation. He went to gulag when Soviets came and died there. For the rest of the family the life was destroyed - they were outlawed. Education and work choices very limited, no party membership, occasional KGB checks. Especially during catholic celebrations like Eastern or Christmas. Few generations later I left for Germany and never looked back. Lithuania lost status of being western country in Soviet Union. Now it is just another weird faceless post Soviet country that made into EU and NATO. No strategy, no goals, no future. People and especially politicians hadn’t learned planing and choice making. At the moment this country is in a silent war against Russia, Belarus and even China: https://www.businessinsider.com/china-threatens-lithuania-wi...
Oh well…
That's a really nice application of declarative programming indeed.
He has become associated with a typical young-white-conservative-wanmabe-manly-man crowd, which overlaps a lot with right wing movements. Whether that's his belief I dare not say, but I actually liked some (!) of his talks and bought his book and found it to be pure baseless drivel. He rehashes Jungian theory in a modern format but doesn't manage to create an overall narrative or logic.

So even if he were not associated with the right, in my view there is littele reason to watch his videos. For anyone looking for meaning and a way of life I would recommend modern stoics or even just classical Marcus Aurelius, or for those wondern about what is right something like Rawls' lectures on the history of moral philosophy.
I probably will soon the way this year is looking. I have no idea honestly, but apps are at the bottom of the it’ list for me, personally. Maybe I would join a volunteer organization or go to a match maker and pay actual money to them. Maybe go to places where I can do hobbies I enjoy and just talk to anyone. Ask other friends I know if they know anyone, things like that.

Shifting perspectives takes time and effort. HN is neither as closed nor as open to discussion as many people would like to believe, one way or another.

What it does reward is sustained effort and a measured approach. I'm well aware that calm in the face of sustained insult is exceedingly difficult, and find no fault in those who don't succeed in this. I'd give the example of James Baldwin's appearance on the Dick Cavett show and response to Paul Weiss's overt racism as one of the finest examples I'm aware of.

I also strongly recommend reaching out to the HN moderators with suggestions or requests (including requests for items for the 2nd Chance or Invited Submissions queues): hn@ycombinator.com

Playing a zero-sum game of pleading off the merits of one issue or person against another tends not to play well and looks poorly. Submitting material you genuinely feel would be of interest and use to the community tends to work better. Often it's possible to leverage an existing submission with another related one.

(For an example of this in which a submission followed one of my own, see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29680490 )

Following the improv model of "yes ... and ..." tends to be more productive than "no ... but ...".
Sure, but many good deeds and about all of science pre 20th century was made by people who had too much time on their hands.
Why is there a big delay after entering a wrong password?
I used it a bunch in Advent of Code as well. It’s very useful for “search” loops, which should break on finding the target, or do something else if it isn’t found.

Generator return, on the other hand, is something I didn’t even know about (basically, return X in a generator raises StopIteration(X)). I don’t think it’s super useful because even inspecting the arguments to an exception tends to be uncommon practice in most code I’ve seen (more frequently, you just want to report or suppress the error depending on its type). I’m sure there’s a niche use for it somewhere though!
Everyone gets 24 hours a day. He's doing something presumably useful. Are you?
I fully agree, the housing is scarce seemingly because many want it to be scarce.

I do think it is a political issue. Thus my support for full regulation removal: if ones press for it, the actual consensus may be closer to liberalization.

Thanks also for sending the links. I have not read those, and so I don't feel I can keep a productive discussion before I read the books.
Appartments buildings are orders of magnitude more efficient. Even on just heating and cooling. Not to mention the reduction in powered transport needed.
Look at Y2K, climate. Government won’t do anything until it’s closer to real. When it’s nearer you can bet they’ll get focused minds, fast.

Non-zero chance they drive in and take over. As a government who insists on holding the final power cards (eg violence) you can’t take chances with this because government power means nothing in the face of a significantly smarter entity. Instantly you wouldn’t be able to trust any electronic communication. Not news, not email, not websites, not IM.

Just wondering. But I hardly see any Americans in foreign countries. Seems they all have to work all the time. But in the many countries I travel through I generally see only Europeans , Asians and occasionally Australians. Hardly ever an American citizen.

The problem with Sprints is that they come with fixed events and associated ceremonies. If your 2 week task is slipping by 2 days you have to answer why in the retrospective. If you remove the sprint deadlines and make the retrospective etc. adhoc and mostly dev team initiated it takes away all the pressure while keeping monitoring/measurements.
I would say it was too chaotic to be introspective (I realize I cited an example of my train if thought but this was not the norm).

I see your point about preparation and it’s valid however hearing someone else talk about what it’s like really can’t prepare you. I knew bad trips were possible and had read extensively about set and setting. But in the moment there was no reason or logic. I forgot everything I knew about managing the experience. It was completely overwhelming and in that situation there is very little you can do.

In many ways it’s like the psychedelic experience overall. You can read about and be as prepared as possible but the experience is so otherworldly there is no way to fully understand that it’s like unless you go through the experience.
You may be joking, but if one found a RCE in FFMPEG that would apply to any AV transcoding it does, you would probably be able to target a boatload of websites. Of course not on the scale as log4j, but it would still be pretty bad.
True, but “free” can always have that meaning as well, making it always ambiguous.
Fair enough.

I definitely simplified things a bit, but you can educate people on how to conduct themselves over the long term through various mechanisms. Many countries used this approach effectively to solve actual societal issues; however, the hijab is not a societal issue in and of itself.
If you think about it for even a little bit, it becomes obvious that no one would open a legit assassin-for-hire service online. Think of logistics of this:

Your assassin has to travel to some random city somewhere and take all the risks involved with killing someone, OR..

They rip you off. What recourse would you have against a real paid killer? And what help would you get from law enforcement?
Well part of the path to doing that is for everyone to lose faith in the corrupted system. Once corruption takes hold, removal is painful no matter how you dice it.
For sites that this and other methods don't work on like NYTimes, WSJ, and WaPo, I use Incoggo (https://www.incoggo.com). I saw them on HN a few weeks ago and haven't really had issues. They're only out on Mac though.
Yes it is. People don't do that. No one goes through apartment complex knocking on doors and introducing themselves. By no one I literally means no one. And it is not a thing that would be done in the past either.
Yeah, the biggest risk with for-else is that some inexperienced dev comes along and misreads the else as belonging to an if statement inside the for (or, worse, attempting to “fix” it). I’ve seen this happen more than once…
Obviously the popularity of the site can be both a benefit and a detriment, a very popular site increases the chance that it has hitmen among its users, but it also increases the chance of narcs. We can see therefore that is what is needed is a popular site with the ability to deliver targeted messages to the people most likely to be hitmen. Finally this story shows the kind of problems you can encounter trying to hire hitmen through sites with a conscientious and moral leadership, that should be avoided.

Use Facebook.
I agree with 'by default' but you can hide it all, even go as far as having nothing but the text visible in the window.

My IJ is set up in a way that it is very clean. Tabs, file explorer, editor, embedded terminal if needed. It doesn't get much cleaner.

The basis of your understanding here is off.

Describing ADHD as “just less cognitively capable” is harmful as you could confuse knowing things and doing things. People with ADHD often struggle with doing things (starting, switching or sustaining focus on a task), but do struggle with knowing things. It’s a performance disability not an intellectual one.

Look up how stimulants affect an ADHD brain, it’s different to a brain without the disorder. In an ADHD brain neurotransmitters like dopamine are less available and removed quicker. Stimulants often act in ways to enable more dopamine to be around.

An analogy here is imagine having 70% packet loss on your internet connection. Try doing your job with that. You need to make a number of adjustments and accomodations to succeed. Well, when you add in stimulants that packet loss drops significantly to say >10%. I experienced this happen in real time when I started taking medication, and this is backed up by Dr Russel Barkley one of the leading experts in this area.

In a brain without ADHD (or a neurotypical brain) there’s no missing dopamine. So taking stimulants still increases the amount of available dopamine, but now there’s way to much. Norepinephrine is also increased with most stimulants to.

There’s real pharmacological evidence to back treating ADHD with medication. It’s well known to be one of the most successful medical treatments in psychiatry.

Giving kids with ADHD extra time or unlimited time is a reasonable accomodation if you want to test if that kid _knows_ the material. If you want to test if they can do it in the time frame, that’s a different test.

ADHD is not a uniquely American thing. Though there’s decades of stigma and loads of research to still be done. Right now we have treatments that work, and a decent understanding of ways to accommodate people with ADHD.

Medication is temporary, and helps correct for a lack of naturally occurring neurotransmitters. (Though I believe it’s more because our brains reuptake them too fast?)

It’s a bit of a shame the medication is a party drug for nuerotypical people, because I’m pretty sure we wouldn’t even be having this conversation if it wasn’t.

I’ll finish by adding that I think ADHD is horrifically named. The name alone contributed to me not looking into it seriously enough which delayed my diagnosis by at least a decade. The disorder really is more a challenge with executive functioning and the ability to deploy attention where needed. Like many other conditions it’s described by how it affects others, not how it affects those with it. It’s like saying someone who just broke their arm has a problem regulating their volume. Technical correct, but so far off base its harmful.

For me medication has had a profound positive impact on my life. Like getting glasses, but orders of magnitude more.

I consider a vacation to be something where you sit in the sun on a beach purely for fun.

Visiting family abroad is usually done on vacation time at work but it's much more necessary.
DocuSign is for contract execution. You shouldn't send a packet unless both parties are willing to execute.
Honestly, I am not even thinking about user-styling, only about setting some stricter separation between styling and structure for the browser. My dream world would be one, like in Zen Garden, be based on two principles:

- the designer has no way to alter the document body structure, only the header for CSS file declarations.

- Any kind of feature/effect that the designer could only achieve by changing the structure should be considered a P0 bug by the CSS engine developers.
Do you think they'll do it manually or just not allow their pages to be indexed? That doesn't seem like something a publisher would want to do / happen as I'm sure a lot of their traffic comes from search.

Can you imagine hundreds of people trying to rapidly descend ladders. A good chuck of the population physically couldn’t do it. Not to mention mistakes from the rush. And to actually save space you would have to make these ladder decent zones very small which would be dangerous itself.
Love of power seems like a form of acquisitiveness to me.

One method that works wonders is Michel Thomas’ method. I have no affiliation with them, just personal experience. The method feels weird initially (old man’s audiotapes), but if you had slightest interest in neuroscience, you’d see it’s absolutely brilliant way of tailoring the learning to how the brain works.

I can read newspaper or have a brief conversation in a restaurant or shop in ~6 languages. You can acquire that skill easily in ~20 hours of audio (per language). But the course stops at certain level, and getting to active speaking is still very difficult next step.
Similar story for me, except it's Rider I use daily - it's been absolutely rock solid for me (way more than Visual Studio, that's for sure), for all the years I've used it. I've been seriously impressed with the JetBrains team for always releasing such solidity, despite it being such a complex product.

There can be some errors if I try an EAP version, but that's expected of course.
You could get larger units or cheaper units since everyone is paying for that floor space which is potentially not required.

It's absolutely a political issue, and a long standing one.

If it makes you feel better, I've skimmed Phillips's book briefly but not read it in depth. It's an instruction manual.

What's required here really is some sort of political engineering.

Another insightful source, and one I've read (and re-typed), is Bernhard J. Stern's "Resistances to the Adoption of Technological Innovations". It's from 1937, but neatly captures numerous instances of, and the dynamics driving, such resistance.

I had hourly episode of smacking forehead into the desk when listening to any kind of lecture 10 minutes into it, and blamed for being sloppy, as far back as I can remember. I was very focused, but was in a constant cycle of burst and brownout. So, just maybe, I think, "attention deficit" issue could rather be called "focus rationing" issue.

> Intellij idea has endless "good code red" problems, it doesn't detect all compile problems,

Doesn't this just means that IntelliJ, being an independent implementation, flags problems that a compiler frontend doesn't, and vice-versa?

That's hardly a problem, isn't it? I mean, sometimes even compilers that serve as reference implementations fail to properly support some language constructs. Case in point, look at how GCC handled C++11, and how some features were only supported a couple of years after the standard was approved.

https://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx-status.html

> it still can't expand macros properly and autocomplete does not work at all with more advanced libraries.

Arguably, IntelliJ (or any IDE) shouldn't expand macros at all, and "more advanced" is codeword for "uses obscure features in non-trivial ways". Those are hardly problems.

What you pay is mainly determined by supply and demand if everyone has the same disdain at menial labour and would do basically anything to avoid it, including getting 'useless' degrees with no good job prospects or even become 'IT/AI specialists' I would expect the compensation for menial workers etc. to increase significantly (of course there is likely a ceiling to how much people would pay for food delivery instead of just going to pick it manually).
"I believe Google Adwords killed the web because it incentives SEO optimized garbage", then proceeds stripping publishers of their ability to get paid for quality non ads-financed content. The motivation makes little sense to me.
You’ve said a lot of words but ultimately you’re just trying to justify theft of content creators work.

It would also be irrational. The rare security issue like this is kot a good enough reason for such massive undertaking. You manage risks, you are not supposed to act purely out of fear.

> Good software engineers do that.

The amount of effort required would necessitate management sign up for this. And they won't, because it is not rational thing to do for majority of software.
