"The Patriot" is a good one, there's a scene where Mel Gibson (colonial plantation owner) / his workers proudly declare his plantation workers as "freemen" when told by the British red coat they will be free if they fight on the side of the King. Mel Gibson has a bit of a track record though, so unlikely dark CIA involvement.
There's a TCM podcast called The Plot Thickens [0], season 1 of which was all about Peter Bogdanovich and well worth listening to if you're at all interested in the man or the auteur years of Hollywood. I'd also recommend Peter Biskind's Easy Riders Raging Bulls [1], one of my all time favourite books.

HN readers generally understand inflation, but when I see questioning bitcoin's energy cost, I wonder if those questioning it really understand the high costs of manipulating the price system through inflation: that manipulation causes the boom and bust cycles due to malinvestments.

> xanax you lose the anxiety but also you won't care about the thing that's causing anxiety

but I didn't as I was missing the expertise/experience with that.

Just from my understanding anxiety is (often?, sometimes?(1)) a unhealthy over reaction of the same "thing"/"system" which makes you care about thing. I heard about it before that for some people with anxiety disorder and depression, the time they where least anxious was the time they where most depressed, because they simply didn't care about anything anymore.

(1): Anxiety and especially depression are not a very clear cut defined (i.e. not like a broken bone) and can have noticeable different effects on different people, I do not
have the expertise to guess in which range this effects can
lie for it to still count as depression and/or anxiety.

file sharing: Your premise is incorrect, you can stream them as well.

Only if all points are checked do streaming services become more convenient… mostly. There are then also companies like Netflix or Amazon who like making it as hard as possible to watch something compared to pirating it (hyperbole, yes. But also with quite some truth to it, at least for TV shows, I don’t watch movies)

You can fund them before the fact with patronage. That is, recoup the cost beforehand, and the work is free for everyone to enjoy after it is made.

You could also ask a Guatemalan how they enjoyed living under the US installed military dictatorships (which came out of a US supported coup after democratic elections resulted in a win for the left). Things are by far not as clear cut. Both blocks supported atrocious regimes if it was in their economic interests and worked against "the other side". That we largely only hear about one side shows how well the propaganda was/is working.

Before the mid 2010s, we talked about how the 99% could avoid concentration of power and wealth in the 1%. Now the richest and worst companies in the world paste BLM rainbow flags on their website, and suddenly large swaths of society have decided that, coincidentally, the folks with the big money are the good guys, while random middle and lower class people with slightly outdated beliefs are the actual problem.

There are many long magazine articles discussing whether wokeness is a religion or cult. Either way, it has completely derailed all political discourse for the benefit of the most privileged (as defined by money).

And in the media world, it means that everything is now over-the-top preachy, and that scoring political points has become more important than making good art. Sucks, but at least there are plenty of classic movies to re-watch.
Did “woke” actually originate in AAVE instead of whatever the technical term for twitter-speak is?

Especially for something as trivial as this, I don't see what value a separate issue adds.

If you want to have something to link to e.g. for your release notes, a PR can also do that job.

As an opensource maintainer, if someone opens an issue "Typo in docs" and a PR "Fix typo in docs #12345" five minutes later, I'll just tell them to not bother with the issue next time because that's just more clicking for me.

These are classic mismanagement patterns. It's their responsibility not to leave feedback until it matures into surprise on your side or resentment on both sides. Eventually, it becomes your problem though. So, ask for feedback frequently. “You should try harder.” is not a good feedback. What are you supposed to do exactly? Ask for actionable feedback. Ask them to exemplify what you could have done differently in a certain situation, for instance.

More importantly, always be looking for a job. Your moves are restricted by your BATNA (best alternative to a negotiated agreement). More alternatives mean more leverage.

To me this piece talks to people who have at least a years income in their bank account and thus don't have to worry about failing. even dont have to fret much about getting a new job.

worse, they are basically saying that, if you are not one of them (who has a nice thick buffer of money in their account or other assets generating income), shut up, sit down, you dont get to have ideas, get back to work your tickets are late... what? no, sorry, i dont make the rules and i dont have the money to get a ladder long enough to change them.

I think these are simply "gotchas" rather than reasons not to use django. We've probably all committed an n+1 query at some point, but that doesn't mean the language/framework we were using was bad.

Meta point: I really enjoy articles that list the places noobies go wrong (for any language/framework, not exclusively django). E.g. an experienced dev I taught R to was mind-blown that vec[1] accesses the first element of a vector (not vec[0]).

Long lists of these unexpected (albeit simple) things can quickly be compiled. It might only take 30 minutes for a noobie to read but probably ends up saving days of pain down the track.

>You have to wait for the whole film to finish downloading

It depends on the video file format. If the file format supports opening partial files you can just open them when downloading.

>The latter costs money

There are plenty of free movie streaming sites.
You say you disagree with the thesis about shepherding but the entire rest of your post reads like a rediscovery of this blog's main point.
I can't speak for others but I generally turn to piracy when legal options are unavailable or unviable.

For example it's basically impossible to legally watch anime with English subtitles in my region, so I have no alternative to piracy.

It's the same story for more mainstream content. There was no legal way to stream Game of Thrones in English when it was being aired. There's no way legal way to stream Star Trek Discovery as it's being aired. Were I in the US, the only legal options, as far as I know, are to pay ~$10/month each for streaming subscriptions that would only be used for these shows.

EU-commissioned studies like [0] show that I'm not unique.

So the solution here, in my opinion, isn't to try to outlaw piracy (it's actually legal in my country) but to make the legal options more reasonable. Eliminate regional restrictions entirely. Eliminate content silos (require studios to license on the same terms to all streaming platforms).

Plus, at least one study has shown that piracy doesn't actually hurt sales [1], save for movies still in cinemas.

The fact that they're async doesn't mean you're expected to be able to parallelize the calls, just that you can do something else while waiting for a response if you want. They involve IPC to another process which can take its own arbitrary amount of time to return a response. There's no reason to block your program during that period.

I don't know anything about webdriver's API specifically, but as a general example, "do something else while waiting for a response" can include "stop waiting for a response after a timeout expires". Maybe you want to set a timeout on the "fetch a URL" function call. You can't do that with a synchronous function unless the function internally supports a timeout. With an asynchronous function you can just race it with a timeout future, and if the timeout future completes first you can stop waiting for the fetch future and fail your test.
Fix the service problem of actually being able to find films.

Back in the day, Netflix's DVD library was close enough to complete that there was little need to look elsewhere, and their streaming selection was not terrible when it launched. Now that the whole system is fractured, the simple act of finding out who streams your movie is a chore, and in many cases getting it in the original language with proper subtitles is non-trivial.

Create a single point of entry to a high-quality library with minimal friction, and you eliminate the desire to pirate in many people.
Procrastination is usually caused by anxiety and the way we speak to ourselves, and this book is all about addressing that. You can have all sorts of rules and systems, but if you don't treat yourself with positivity and respect none of those will matter. My biggest takeaways are that you should not let work bleed into your leisure time, and you shouldn't base your self worth on your work.
Yes, that is absolutely right. Even Greece had it's anti-communist junta which massacred students. It's never clear cut, but on the _average_ I do think the pro-USSR side was less-free.
To say that any side was "undisputed good" would be a simplification too far - of WWII, but I imagine that's not what you mean.
Also known as hashbang.
I also come from a Java background and I really like that Dart can run as a script (like JavaScript) but it can also compile to a native executable (and unlike GraalVM, it compiles in a couple of seconds, not minutes, and pretty much any Dart code will work - no issues like Java has with reflection, for example).

Try `dart compile exe app.dart` and then run `./app.exe`... it's really fast and the binary is fairly small!
Yeah, that's very true. Try and do FP in Java or C++ or PHP or Python and see where it gets you.

And before I get a ton of "ackchyally you can do X" guys, yes you technically can but there's friction and you are implicitly not encouraged to do so.

I like languages that push you to think about X or Y so you can't miss it. Case in point: strong static types in many languages, or lifetimes/ownership in Rust.

> if the perception of crypto continues to be that it's a significant contributor to climate change -- regardless of how true that may be --

Therein lies a huge part of our societies problems : people base their beliefs on perceptions rather than digging into the truth of the claims they choose to follow. This creates division, strife, and carries huge social costs.

And, if their claim is objectively wrong---i.e., if bitcoin is less harmful to the climate that the legacy monetary system (with its unbridled government spending and profligate international wars---what's the petrodollar system's true cost if we include all the oil tankers, office buildings, Brinks trucks and The US 7th fleet sitting in the Indian Ocean?), then choosing to ignore the truth could actively harm the climate more than choosing the better money.

I'd love to hear your criticism of django, issues you encountered and problems you have solved :)

> My real criticism of Django is that, at long last, I think it's starting to look dated.

Actually, that is something I found really great about django. I found that django is reliable over a long period of time. The js/node/react/express/angular apps I had developed in the past (~2012+) can't be built these days without redoing major components. I never had these problems with django.

As for the responsiveness of the results, I found that a good understanding of django's performance helps. Using a good caching strategy (on models, views + nginx) yields results have almost instant reactions, even though there is the whole HTTP to HTML roundtrip. While they do have the noticable page-reload semantics, I found that these are way easier to build and sometimes yield very enjoyable experiences for my users. After all, I'm not building a YouTube so PictureInPicture and SPA-semantics aren't that important to my users.

> Modern web apps are maintaining models in the client and staying current though a combination of ajax queries and websockets.

Julia Elman explains how to do this with Django + DRF and Backbone.js in the book "Lightweight Django" (O'Reilly). Is this a viable compromise?
Coaches are not involved in hierarchical relationship where they could fire you or make your life hell. Neither they are involved in the decision of how much you should earn or if you should be promoted or not.

So those are absolutely different sorts of relationships. The coach is not your superior so it changes everything about what they could say to you and the consequences it could have on you.

So no, a good manager should never say stuff like that. It's the sort of words that can be the involuntary sparkle which could ignite depression or even suicide. And for what ? A better performance at writing crud programs ? No. Professional things are not important enough to say any of this.
I agree 100%. Even if you have a great boss who looks after you, they can be replaced or their boss can overrule them.

Like that quote from Peaky Blinders “Big fucks small. Always, actually.”

It’s a business arrangement, not a family or a friendship. Hold them to the contract. If they ask for more, tell them you’ll need compensation for it.

If they ask you to stick around, have an excuse ready. Don’t lie, because you don’t need to. “I can’t stay another 2 weeks I have a preexisting obligation.” “No, i can’t say what is it’s personal.”

I’ve been through 6 reorgs and been laid off several times. You take it personally at first, but then gain some clarity. The “family” stuff, the promises are all worth nothing. But once you know that it’s ok. You go in with eyes wide open.
Do you have examples? I'm not aware of any libraries using async for things that aren't IO-related, at least not the important / popular ones.

I based my assumption on the fact that BitTorrent doesn't download the file from beginning to end in order. It downloads the file in a random order.
Exactly, I disabled autocorrect early on and never looked back. For convenience I MAY sometimes use the suggested words.

It is indeed hilarious. Same people that will insist (until their grave apparently) that C is fine and that the OpenSSL guys were idiots for allowing Heartbleed, nevermind the fact that buffer overflows and underflows are literally the No. 1 cause of security problems when working with C...

What really ticks me off about those kinds of people is that they are extremely likely to just have been blind about their own mistakes when coding C, while loudly claiming that "you just need to be disciplined".
> It depends on the video file format. If the file format supports opening partial files you can just open them when downloading.

It's a bit more complicated than that as you have to ensure that your torrent client downloads data in order, from start to finish. Usually it's more or less random.

There are torrent clients that support this though, for sure.

That would seem to put your company squarely under the heading of checks notes A) "doesnt put enough faith in own ability to assess talent without it".

If you place a preference on candidates who share the information, your lack of faith in your own ability to value talent is presumably also strong enough that you are willing to forgo the (better) candidates who do not feel compelled to share their salary history.
