It's interesting because the difference between the jerrican and existing cans were lots of small affordances that add up: fewer tools needed and easier to move around. In the end, soldiers will find a way to put gas in vehicles, so there's never a problem from the strategic view even though several small efficiencies can add up to a big difference both for a single person gassing up a tank and then multiplied by the number of tanks that are involved in warfare.

When OS X came out about 20 years ago, the UI was so much better than Linux desktop environments of the time. I think that is a relatively uncontroversial view, but try fitting the differences between them into a checkbox-style acquisition table and they both use the basic WIMP interface; the obvious differences (icon dock, global menu bar) are if anything something that people moving from Linux to Mac dislike about it, yet those same people will tell you that the overall experience is better.

A lot of people don't care about the experience of using a computer. If they did, there would be revolts and walk-outs against Outlook and Exchange, about SharePoint, and about every single version of Windows. I am an amateur font designer and even I find the font rendering on Windows (specially if you have mixed density screens) horrendous. It's like it has a dozen incompatible libraries using different font rendering methods that are inconsistent between screens.

It's an old joke that one of the best ways to make someone perpetually unhappy is to teach them proper font kerning.

Most people prefer individual transport systems for many good reasons. "Induced demand" is just more people using new roads because they get to do what they need/want to do. If we build enough roads (maybe using tunnels underground, a la The Boring Company) for everyone to go where they want, when they want, with up to 40 tons of cargo with them, there won't be any traffic congestion. This happened when the interstates were first built in the US and we could have that again if we decided to build thousands of miles of new tunnels. That would be a true national infrastructure project that would make everyone's lives much better. Sitting in traffic is a scourge on humanity. These tunnels could also have buses and groups of buses (trains?) in them for people who would rather travel with strangers, following a schedule set by someone else, and not carrying many objects with them. Could constructing this system also be called large-scale investment in public transportation then we could get everyone on board? Win-win solutions in society are still possible I hope.

I read two articles by Doctorow about his decisions about, and involvement around, copyright [0][1]. I didn't pick up on anything relating to how his decision to use CC affects monetization.

So assuming that Doctorow makes a living off of royalties of printed books, as well as speaking engagement fees, I don't think that this model is widely replicable, especially when it comes to currently paywalled content (like from Substack, WSJ, the Economist, NYT, etc), right?

So what you want is for recipe developers to have their work scraped, stripped, and presented outside of its intended creative context and revenue generation mechanism, and while other people may think this is unethical, they can't stop you so that makes it fine.

Then again, they might also take you somewhere they haven't been to before either because they're convinced it'll impress you more than the dive bar or McDonald's they usually meet their friends at, and sometimes the cheesy backpacker bar is more fun than both. Sometimes the cheesy backpacker bar has more local people in it than the reputable local restaurant too!

Is Log4jShell exploitable for a simple Java CLI
Everything I’ve being reading about the log4j shell vulnerability all have the assumption that process is a flavor of a ‘webserver’ (i.e. a long running process that listens on ports).

I have a simple JAVA process that executes a series of operations (e.g. file manipulations), logs the processing with log4j and then terminates. Is there any exposure to injection in this scenario?

It's hard to estimate effects like this based on your personal experiences. People who do drugs like mushrooms tend to be a certain way: hippies, left-wing, creative and "open". Unless you're performing rigorous experiments with large samples, it's hard to separate that out as a confounder.
> never a solution, due to induced demand

That's false. The mistake universally made by people repeating that claim is a failure to account for the fact that vehicles and population are finite. In the US there isn't much population growth, except for in a select few urban areas. It's baffling that it gets repeated so often as though it's always true, when it's not. You can swamp the amount of induced demand with additional roads, it all depends on the number of vehicles you're dealing with. Which is to say, it depends on context and it's incorrect to suggest matter-of-fact that induced demand defeats additional roads.

You'd need to run a study on the traffic potential and local + regional population growth to know one way or another what additional roads might do as it pertains to inducing demand over time and whether you can overcome the expected increased demand. The demand doesn't just keep rising forever as you build more roads.
For the unaware, an ICE car is an “internal combustion engine” car — one that’s fueled with gas.

This article and the study it's drawing from is certainly cherrypicked or naive. There's been significant research to investigate the known cardiotoxicity of Psilocin [0][1].

> It's like when people claimed that marijuana was not addictive.

Marijuana is not physically addictive. That was and is also the reasonable claim made by reasonable people. Then lots of people seems to have conflated this claim with psychological addictiveness.

I claim that HN isn't physically addictive. The fact that it is psychologically addictive doesn't amount to me "pretending".

As someone in this group, I strongly disagree. The "consensus" you're appealing to doesn't exist.

The effects of both psilocybin and spiritual beliefs on individual health outcomes is an active, ongoing topic of research. The assertion that there's something intangibly wrong with the mental lives of (of whom exactly? people who do shrooms? Or do you include people who do yoga or practice meditation in this group? What about people who attend Catholic mass?) that "current science can't measure" is precisely the sort of baseless nonsense well-operationalized research is designed to eliminate, so we can rationalize our laws and healthcare policies.
Exactly. I want my code peer reviewed partly because it makes it clear and formal that while we succeed as a team we also fail as a team. It’s much easier to talk about failures when a failure doesn’t have a single person attached to it.
I wonder how the pricing will end up. At the baseline, $1200 for a MacBook Air with 16 gigs of ram is great value for the machine you get, even compared to Windows alternatives. For the new MacBook Pros, there are multiple companies who felt that they were worth shelling out for top of the line configs outside of their normal refresh cycles. Maybe Apple will price their top of the line stuff for a reasonable price/performance ratio, or they might think that the people who actually need that config would be willing to pay sky high prices and charge accordingly.

What kind of foolish arrogance is this?

Though I've never been diagnosed and live a normal life, I've had mood swings and extended family history of schizophrenia. Because of this, and the knowledge that there are certain triggers that can cause lifelong neurological issues, I'll never try acid or other hallucinogens.

The value of knowing that "underlying craziness" can exist is in inherently reminding us of the actual risk. Let's say someone predisposed toward neurological issues is on the fence, but ultimately decides to follow the reasoning in the comment. What liability are you going to bear for it?

Hey there. I'm not sure where I'd start, to be honest. My wife and I recently had our 3rd child. As a result, I've been opting for easier reading material over the last ~4 months. I don't really maintain reading lists, or lists of reading recommendations. But, I do endorse the books that I read and enjoy.

Here are the books I've read in the last 4 months, not in order:

* Frank Herbert - Dune

* J.R.R. Tolkein - The LotR trilogy + The Silmarillion

* Stephen King - 'Salem's Lot

* Stephen King (short story) - Jerusalem's Lot

* Stephen King (short story) - The Night Flier

* Stephen King (short story) - The Children of the Corn

* Stephen King - The Stand (uncut version)

* Stanisław Lem - The Cyberiad

* John Whyndham - The Day of The Triffids

* Arkady Strugatsky and Boris Strugatsky - Roadside Picnic

* Vernor Vinge - A Fire Upon the Deep

Okay, so... Dune was a re-read ahead of the film release. LotR was a re-read that was provoked by some conversations I had with a group of friends (who form a loose book and movie club) after we discussed the Dune film and books / universe.

Lots of comparisons were being drawn to LotR (both the books and the film adaptations) and I wanted to confirm that my memory of Tolkein's prowess and effectiveness as a writer were accurate (they were).

I had never read Stephen King before this year and I found that I quite liked him. I started with 'Salem's Lot and Jerusalem's Lot because of the TV series Chapelwaite (an adaptation of Jerusalem's Lot -- I am a fan of horror film and television) which I want to watch.

I really liked King, so I pushed a little deeper. I'll come back to him later this year.

The books that remain are Sci-Fi books that I had either had on my own backlog (Roadside Picnic and A Fire Upon the Deep) or were recommendations that I saw in HN comments (The Cyberiad and The Day of the Triffids).

edit/ There were probably between 4 and 6 books that I started, read a few chapters of, and put down in this time frame, too, FWIW.
The real issue for me is that I would rather have Apple sitting between me and To Ty's app than a public blockchain with no owners. There are just too many edge cases and circumstances where I would rather have a trillion dollar company defending me, a paying customer, against To Ty if the app turns on me or doesn't meet my expectations.

me < To Ty's app + whatever they can get away with.

me + apple > To Ty's app.
Every time I think about the Antikythera mechanism the quote by Arthur C. Clarke comes to mind

"If the insight of the Greeks had matched their ingenuity…we would not merely be puttering around on the Moon, we would have reached the nearer stars."

It's a little sensational but also makes me think of what could've been, if certain paths had been realized in past times, and also makes me put the technical knowledge of past civilizations in much higher regard.
It was an obvious farce. If they had real tech they could have simply done a million comparative tests on the military/VA or at free clinics and showed the relative accuracy.
Marijuana is addictive, I know that many people will deny it, just like they say it's not unhealthy to smoke, it is, there is definitely harm done.

That said it's almost impossible to abuse mushrooms, there just isn't a desire to redo them often and it doesn't work well anyway. I've never heard of someone being addicted to psilocybin.

Sure while you're on them it can be very intoxicating, and temporary loss of speech abilities and all kinds of horrible feelings might occur, particularly in the beginning. Usually you feel better about it later.

I think it has been shown to be the least harmful drug in studies and has proven itself to be not very harmful to people or society.
I find it honestly strange that 12 weeks is deemed “long-term”, or am I missing something?
That is a very good example, and thank you for sharing your experience. It should be noted that in the original article the test subjects (1) take Psilocybin only once and (2) are followed from this dose by hours of therapy by a professional psychologist.

If that is what you did you probably would have been more grounded. But it is absolutely crazy to deduce from this very controlled experiment with a very limited single dose of Psilocybin and a lot of therapy after that, that recreational use is ok. This experiment was designed to allow for further controlled experiments to check for Psilocybin potential for treatment of depression and the like. That is all it should be used for.
Yes, I think I stick to my ground. I'll address your points below. There are two camps here:

1. A large number, possibly a majority, of people who aren't yet familiar enough with git. Those people think of commits as being final: a commit is what you will push to the remote, your colleagues will see, and gets stored in public git history forever. They haven't yet learned that branches cost nothing, how to work with temporary branches, and how to create a new series of commits from already-committed work.

2. People who know git well and are the complement of the above set in all ways.

I'm sure you're right that backup systems have their place, but your comments here about how git shouldn't be used for backups are aligning with the camp (1) folks and making it harder for them to see that git can be used to save their work frequently, once they learn git better. Ultimately, positions like the one you're taking contribute to people developing misconceived tools such as TFA.

> 1. everything else on your system (potentially - a lot of stuff depending on your workflow

Sure -- backing up random files is good. I use google drive for that personally.

> 2. everything you've .gitignored (you 100% sure that's all ok?)

Yes, I don't worry about this. .gitignore is itself under git's control, so whatever's gitignored for me, is gitignored for my colleagues, therefore the project works without standardized content in those file paths.

> 3. changes not yet pushed

What reason is there ever to not push a branch that contains work you wouldn't want to lose? Planes and other no-network situations is one: I just push as soon as I'm on network. I never leave valuable work unpushed if I have a network connection.

> 4. branches that don't exist on remote

Why haven't you pushed them?

> 5. git stuff that's invaluable for disaster recovery

Not sure what you mean here

> 6. git stashes

Yes, good point to raise. Store work you're not prepared to lose in branches, and push them. You can stash it as well if that's convenient.

You probably know this, but the biggest hurdle newcomers to git face is they don't understand that branches are cheap, and they don't understand how easy it is to undo changes by using temp branches with `git reset --hard` and `git checkout`. Rather than telling them to supplement git with a backup system, it would be better to teach them to get comfortable using git. TFA is an extreme example, talking as if ctrl-z undo is an inevitable workflow for a git user when, in fact, it's only something that beginners do for more than trivial undo operations.
> Yes, taking it (in the right conditions) can benefit you a lot.

What are these benefits?
Most small tech companies probably operate in this manner. We do, too. The practice is that devs do want a second pair of eyes on the code since they want other people to detect flaws in their assumptions or choices before there is pain.

If I'm doing something trivial, I might just push to `master`. For instance, I don't run tests on a `README.md` change.

Interesting to encode it explicitly, though. Strong culture choice, for sure. And probably well suited to their product since they are probably all dogfooding `master` and pushing only periodic tags off it.
When my code has been code reviewed I've had bugs found, improvements made, and edge cases brought up. I genuinely believe my code is better for having been reviewed, and I work harder on the quality of my code because it is going to get reviewed.

Now, code reviews aren't a panacea, there's an awful lot of bike-shedding going on (in particular whenever interfaces are reviewed) but they're a net positive in my view. It isn't about trust, it is about creating a quality product, along with postmortems (an under-utilized philosophy) and automated tooling (inc. testing, validators, etc).
