Dear COVID scientogists, if you engage in a public discourse where your opponents have to write a disclaimer like this to prevent getting downvoted, you have failed at civic discourses and even if all vaccines were 100% effective and had 0 side effects, your behaviour would still be abhorrent.

Do you expect HN comments to use more accurate language than medical researchers use in published papers?

I don't.

So describing the difference between "93%" and "about 93%" as 'much more sensible', in this context, seems excessively nitpicky.

Even more so given that you got the wrong vitamin and it took you a couple of tries until you got the right citation.

Hey, I want to put together an open source project that gives an overview of how to set up a minimal viable web application from scratch via all the different frameworks.

The idea is to format the tutorial for each framework as a shell script. So there is no ambiguity of how to reproduce the results. And it is even possible to just copy&paste the steps into a docker container and see the framework in action.

Here is a demo of how this could look like for Django:

https://www.gibney.org/from_debian_to_web_app

It would be cool to have one column for each framework and then align them visually by feature. So if you want to compare how do you use a template, you can look at the "Let's use templates" row and have a quick overview of how it is done in Django, Laravel, Flask, Symfony, NextJS...

Each framework section could link to the developer(s) who wrote it.

If you want to contribute to the section for your favorite framework, send me a message!

The Linux and BSDs are not well integrated or thought out for a desktop use case.

Linux has no integration or consistency above the kernel leading to dozens of ways to put together a system which leads to a lot of inconsistency and fragmentation which leads to a lot of problems. Some software works one way and follows one set of paradigms, a different set follows a different set of paradigms, neither of them can be said to be 'wrong' because there is no definition of 'right'. The underpinnings of the whole desktop ecosystem are a complicated interdependent tangle of software put together by disparate teams for their own reasons. Much of the libraries used break their ABIs so consistently that an army of package maintainers and a complicated management program are necessary to get any of it working together with any consistency at all, not that it will ever make them behave consistently. All of this has lead to a software distribution nightmare where a developer either open sources everything and relies on third parties to get their software to the people or jumps through a bunch of hoops to make their software self-contained enough to work on most of the ridiculous number of variants out there.

BSDs at least have an integrated base-system, but of course that doesn't include anything GUI so effectively they're like Linux in the Desktop case. Worse, they have no stable kernel ABI.

Whether or not you think these are problems, I do.

> What is it you want to do?

Use a desktop that is designed first and foremost as a personal computing desktop, not a disparate hodgepodge of crammed-together projects that can be kinda-sorta ok at dozens of different uses. I want a relatively stable platform upon which graphical applications can be run. I want it to be developed by people who give a shit about user interface design and aren't just chasing the latest mobile-inspired fads. I want it to be developed by people who consider the GUI the primary interface. I want it developed by people who don't think the GUI is best suited to being the worlds fanciest tmux. I could go on.

Of course, Haiku isn't actually good at some of the things I want it to do, I know that. That's why I'm not using it today. But what it has that Linux and BSD desktops don't is potential, and I think that's worth a lot.

I get what he means and a part of me is like this at well. However, I do like partying (both drunk and sober), here is why:

- Dancing a lot means I am working out

- It allows me to play a bit with my identity to people (you know jump up and down out of excitement instead of a normal handshake)

- In fact, it allows for play (I sometimes bring a scarve to parties and play rope jump with it or limbo dancing)

- I get to study/observe drunk people and drunk group dynamics from a distance or as a part of it (by being drunk myself)

- I get to meet people and hear their perspective. Emotionally that means I feel like I am walking a few steps in their shoes

- In rare cases, I can have a deep intellectual conversation with people but there are better venues for meeting people in order to have intellectual conversations

Partying and network events and the like is simply not for everyone and that’s okay. I hope the author has a few friends where he can have amazing conversations with
HN is definitely not an echo chamber; we see here quite a variety of positions on many controversial issues, and the great thing about HN is that we often see really good and well supported arguments on multiple sides of an issue, because if you can't support your argument with some verifiable evidence, you'll get downvoted very fast.

HN does, however, have its own version of the Overton Window[0], meaning that some positions are outside of what is acceptable to argue and those get shut down fast as well. This is the case both on technical issues where it is probably driven by the range of acceptable opinions among the Silicon Valley elites, and on social issues where it overlaps quite a bit with the mainstream media's Overton window, but maybe has a somewhat more libertarian spin (again, because that's common among the Silicon Valley elites).

Sadly for many young people that's not the case.

One good rule of thumb: people will respond to the weakest part of your argument. So instead of making it as long as possible, and addressing several unrelated points in an attempt to preempt all objections, it's best to cut out everything but the core of your message. The question I always ask myself whenever commenting here is, "is my comment strong enough?". If it isn't, I delete my comment. If there are weak parts, I prune them. It's better to leave an incomplete but strong comment, than a comment which tries to be complete but has several weak pieces.
>so that tells me that all of the practice was for nothing and against my underlying nature

I've been through what I think is a similar cycle before and feel I can relate a little to this feeling ; I've tried to look at it as more of an unseen muscle group.

Although we can look at ourselves and say we've definitely lost 'socialising muscle mass' for a lack of a better word, I think the ease in which we can regain our muscle mass gets easier with each cycle.

I also like to think of it, like a balloon that represents our boundaries as a person and although our territorial boundary might shrink when we're isolated (deflate) with each stretching of our boundary it becomes easier to fill again?
> It's like normalising conversations about sport or TV. "But I'm not interested in sport or TV" becomes an unacceptable view because "most people" are.

same goes with popular Netflix shows or mind-numbing "reality" tv and which celebrity is dating which other celebrity.

It's a bit funny that the blogpost found a higher correlation between bitcoin and GPU prices than between ethereum and GPU prices.
You don't mine bitcoin with a GPU. Just because it correlates doesn't mean it's a causal effect.
Looking at shop prices is probably suboptimal compared to looking at auction prices, shop prices lag too much. This summer you could almost see demand shifting in real time based on the ethereum price. There are probably other confounding factors such as summer is vacation and warm weather time so demand from both gamers and miners is reduced and perhaps there was more supply as well?

Then the validity of the correlations is "verified" by checking if there exists a correlation between CPUs and cryptocurrency prices? What does this verify, it's just another correlation?
Consider it an opportunity to branch out to new languages and new ways of thinking. It's good to take a step out to fresh air and take off the reality distortion field helmet that goes with any community of people invested in a particular way of doing things--and I mean that in a broad way, not just technology.

I spent close to a decade doing and thinking about things primarily from a JVM-centric point of view. I wrote C for a number of years, I wrote Java for a number of years, then C++, and worked on JavaScript VMs. Let me tell you, all those communities have their distortion fields. There are zombies of all kinds! (heh) I have my own, custom distortion field.

This.

I think most people in this thread misunderstood the meaning behind the post (or maybe I did). This isn't about one's superiority, it's about the fact that there aren't enough people interested in talking about ideas.

People here said that someone like that would get bored if others picked the wrong topics. I don't think so. Even when I don't have a direct interest in a topic, I'm always open to learning more. But as you said, and I think this is what the article meant, many people do not have the habit of intellectual discussion. Yes, they are able to communicate, but their interests are shallow.

There was an argument here about how there's no difference between citing Plato and knowing everything about Manchester United (I think this is what MU meant). It depends. If you are only citing Plato because this is what you were taught, then there is no difference. It's a big difference if you cite Plato when you're trying to figure out why something is the way it is and you find out he had similar interests and ideas about it. The key isn't the imitation itself, but the reason why it's done. Otherwise, it's just another cargo cult.

I don't know if it's laziness of mind, cheap dopamine or something else, but it's rare to meet someone with real interests, one who's passionate about struggling with ideas, playing with them, discussing them.
