You guys are talking past each other. It's (mildly) dishonest to point at any one event and say "this is global warming". It's entirely accurate to point at a single event and say "if it weren't for global warming, there would be a 1% this happened, but with global warming, it's a 10% chance".

It's like the Swiss cheese theory of accidents: accidents don't happen because one guy wasn't paying attention, they happen because one guy wasn't paying attention AND because the guy who was supposed to supervise him was off AND because the manager hadn't thought to call someone else in AND because the system designers forgot to add a rule for this AND the regulators because they forgot to require ...

There's a fine line to thread here. On one side, you're lying if you say that global warming was the sole, isolated cause of this. On the other side, you're criminally irresponsible if you forget to mention the fact global warming certainly was an important contributory cause.
TIL. Thanks! I don't watch very many movies and when I do I'm with people that think subtitles are a massive inconvenience (for them). Thank you for letting me about that as I'm sure one day I will run into this and I would have been befuddled as to how they were falling out of sync.
That was rhetorical. I'm saying that our population is largely composed of capricious bugbrains.

Nobody can claim to have your private key, but they can sure as hell claim to be you.

We won't know who the real numtel ever is without some real-world proof and verification. This is where a lot of this crypto-based stuff starts to crumble: sure the mathematics of the cryptography works well on chain, but there is a very limited set of things that exist 100% purely on the blockchain - as soon as you need to go off of the blockchain for anything (e.g. proving human identity, proving ownership of a physical asset like a house etc) then you're back to the same old problems we've always had of having to prove identity/ownership/whatever, and you cant use a cryptographic hash to prove that I own the apple I am eating right now ... perhaps you can prove that I own an apple, but can you prove I own this apple?
Show HN: Blinkjoy Games- Play free board games like Acquire in the Jackbox style
My brother and I created a website to play board games on a tv using your phones. We've only got 2 games right now, but we're working on more. In fact, we've got a Kickstarter right now for a third called Apochromy.

Both of our games are currently free to play. Would love to hear what you think!

I agree that adults have failed kids during the pandemic, but the agenda that this article is pushing is deeply, deeply flawed. The consequences the pandemic is having on kids is not due to schools being closed, it's due to kids growing up in the middle of a society collapsing under the weight of a pandemic.

To argue that we shouldn't have closed schools, or should have made things more normal for the kids is to say that our half-assed mealy-mouthed nothing of a response to the pandemic didn't work, so we should have done even less, tried to spread the virus even harder, and that would have made things better. No. What would have made things better is a real, collective, and effective response to the pandemic. Modeling a real, pro-social, collaborative, and reasonable response to the pandemic.

Of course it's not _fair_ that kids are being kept away from school while hoards of adults are too obsessed with proving they have freedom to consider how to use their freedom to act appropriately. It's not fair that they can't get an education, but hoards of the unmasked, unvaxxed, and unconcerned can huff and puff their way through bars, restaurants, gyms, clubs, and every other super spreader event they care to name without a concern for the costs of their actions to them or anyone else.

Fair would have been for everyone to do their part, to exercise a modicum of self control, and work together to actually contain things, keep them to a reasonable level, and then let things get back to normal in the ways we can, and have a clear plan for how to monitor and react to changes in the future. Fair would be everyone working together to make this thing actually be over, at least for some periods of time, rather than making the reasonable people pay the entire burden for the whims of the hoards of pro-plague cultists.
>The things children are born not knowing is crazy. The pre-programming is limited!

You purchased the DIY version. With this version, you are expected to continuously update the programming. Most people seem to focus on higher level programming using a language of "ivy league".
The smart thing to do is not to whine about the cards you were dealt, but to make the most of them. Most of us here are lucky enough to be born into a non-third world country.
The complexity is imagined. It's not complex at all. People using Google for a free recipe are looking for...the recipe. If they were looking for stories from immigrants, they would have googled that.
Absolutely. I take issue with all 3 of his main points. You covered the first point well, so, I'll take the last 2.

> Pull requests don't prevent bugs. Reviewing code is hard! You can catch obvious mistakes, but you won't have consistent in-depth scrutiny. Many issues reveal themselves only after extensive use, which doesn't happen during code reviews. We rely on fast iterations with user feedback.

So many things I can say about this. "Fast iterations with user feedback" are great, until you introduce a security bug that you find out about because someone exploits it. Catching "obvious" mistakes alone has significant value. Since he acknowledges that code reviews catch some bugs, this criticism seems to be that they don't catch all bugs. To that, I say: show me a practice which does catch all bugs, and I'll show you why it doesn't. Even the most rigorous development process doesn't prevent all bugs. [0] This just doesn't sound like a fair criticism to me.

> Pull requests slow down. Code reviews aren't high priority for engineers. They have to make time to clean up their review queue. In reality, PRs are an afterthought and not what you want to spend your time on as an engineer.

This is largely a culture problem. Code review should be a high priority for engineers. Maybe it's not the highest priority, but, it's fair to expect one could get a decent review on a PR that isn't too large in, say, 1-2 days or less. If you have PRs sitting in review for weeks at a time on a regular basis[1], one of two things is happening: either engineers aren't properly prioritizing code review, or your PRs are too large and/or have too many dependencies.

Which brings me to the second thing you can do, which is make PRs that are as small and simple as possible, but no more. Minimize dependencies to help make your PRs understandable. And, it should be fairly obvious, but the fewer lines of code (including config changes) you have in your PR, the easier it will be to review, so, the faster it will get done.

Code review is also a great opportunity to learn and teach. Every senior+ engineer should be reviewing code frequently, IMO.

Finally, yes, code reviews will slow you down if your basis for comparison is just "engineers merge code when they think it's ready." That's intentional, and good. The cost is more than paid for by better code quality, leading to fewer instances of "here's a PR to fix the issues with my previous PR."

I don't know what your point is. You would have gotten in trouble whether or not code reviews were present. If you're saying that code reviews should not be default, then the entire blame would rest on your shoulders anyway. Are you saying you wish you got in less trouble at Apple and the code reviewers should have gotten in more trouble for missing YOUR bug?

Interesting proposal. I am liking it so far. Probably going to take years before it can be used?
I wonder if this pandemic will change our views on the pace of vaccine testing in children. There might be a willingness to begin testing in children sooner though I doubt we would ever test in children at the same time as adults.
I should mention - the games we have right now are Landlocked (based on Acquire) and Psych Word (based on Codenames)
I think the article does a good job at looking at this as a trade-off. No where in the article do they state outright that there is no change to transmission. The main point is to ask the question "Is avoiding the damage to those that are older worth the damage to those that are younger?"
I'm 27 and make a pittance compared to most of my friends who work in finance or have FAANG jobs. Does it sort of suck, yeah. But at the same time I can afford to live in New York and know at what point I'm going to call it. If in three years I don't have my own place in the city, I'm going to move somewhere in the midwest and just start enjoying who I am. Sometimes I feel like I look backwards in my life to find reasons why where I am now is great considering where I came from, but then I realize how scary it is to see people who become complacent and stop improving. That said, if I'm simply unable to achieve great financial success I'm not going to keep deluding myself through my thirties.

At this stage in my life I'm glad to have successful friends who seem to respect what I have to say and encourage me to work hard and continue moving forward.

Some others have said it, but life is too short to spend it around people who make you feel like shit and don't realize they're doing it. Nice people can be shitty people - life is too short to spend it around people like that.
Seconding @wayouthere. I saw this sentence:

> They seems to overstate what the sources they link to claim.

And thought, "Right, yeah, it's the NYT." They're not fake news like Breitbart, but I seem to catch them 'pushing the envelope' on the truth a lot. And I like/agree with a fair amount of what they publish.
I suppose I have money, but it's all relative.

I suppose I'm on the opposite end of you, and I overcompensate by never inviting people to my house. I go to other people's houses, including and especially those with "shit rentals".

I find myself somewhat guilty of my own lavishness (even though really it's not that lavish).

I don't really have advice, other than to say that if they're your friends you should actually just tell them it makes you ashamed and see their response. You don't want their pity necessarily, but I think it's important that your friends know how you feel.
The main problem I see is that kids are not (yet) organized.

There is a pandemic going on. Kids can "vote" with their behavior.

Yes, there are certainly some acts that are universally recognised as atrocities/intolerable, but such acts are not unique to the East; the West also had its fair share of organised crime.

If we agree that societies all tend to gravitate towards a more progressive model as they develop, then perhaps the discussion would be more of an modern-vs-historic one rather than East-vs-West one.

Hm, I found David Leonhardt's summary of that article to be fairly sound – it even opens with "School closures have been implemented internationally with insufficient evidence for their role in minimising covid-19 transmission."

"[A]ccumulating evidence shows that teachers and school staff are not at higher risk of hospital admission or death from covid-19 compared with other workers" quote seems most pertinent. Other quotes that certainly back the paraphrase include "teacher absence decreased in tier 3 regions during the November lockdown despite schools remaining open" and "Teacher absence because of confirmed covid-19 in England was similar in primary and secondary schools in the autumn term."

Finally, the "Transmission" section explicitly casts doubt on studies that did show a reduction in transmission. Overall, "skeptical," as the linked NYT article states, seems dead on.

Were there other sources from the article that you took issue with?
It's hard to duplicate luck.
I've been working on something similar in a load balancer I've been writing in Rust. It's still a work in progress.

Basically the parent executes the new binary after it receives a USR1 signal. Once the child is healthy it kills the parent via SIGTERM. The listener socket file descriptor is passed over an environment variable.

You're absolutely right, but then what?

Hope OP can learn from some of his wealthy friends that acquired wealth, rather than inherited it. And if they all got it from mama and papa, then it is what it is, and OP probably should consider finding other friends if these current ones depress him.

> They wanted to support multiple platforms, that multiple platforms implied multiple compilers was part of the portability issues the original goal led to.

No, people are just inflicting that upon themselves for no good reason. I ship software built with the same clang / libc++ toolchain targetting Mac / Windows / Linux and things works absolutely fine.
Decades? I missed 3 months of 4th grade. The teacher said I should be stuck back in 3rd because 4th grade had moved along so quickly. My mom said no, and put me in the 4th grade class around Christmastime.

I wasn't a day behind. The class had not advanced at all.

But I'm sure the pandemic will be blamed for school unachievement for decades. It's a godsend to the school industrial complex.

El Salvador: Bitcoin Volcano Bond laws, Chivo still doesn’t work, corruption
I can relate to almost every part of your post. I have ~13 years of professional software development experience and have also wanted to build a side project with nice-to-have extra income.

In the past, I have tried a lot of silly ideas. Recently, I shipped a web app but marketing scares me so I currently have 1 user other than myself. Here are my unsolicited tips that a younger self would have found useful:

- Stick with building software, since that's something I am good at. Not e-commerce, podcasting or becoming a Youtuber.

- Build something that fixes a problem that you yourself have. At the very least, you have one customer after you ship.

- Build small bits of features every day or at a semi-regular interval at your choosing. I did this and was amazed at the progress made after 1-2 months.

- Keep the infrastructure simple in the beginning. For example, rather than paying $x/mo for an email with my custom domain, I use an email alias such as forwardemail.net or simplelogin.io. Use as many services with generous free tiers as possible.

- Stop worrying about similar products out there until after you ship yours. I personally have stopped trying to look for similar products (or tune them out when I see one) and focus on my own instead.

I'll plug an idea if I may - I have been thinking about starting a chat group with other developers working on side projects. I myself am a solo dev looking for support (while also working a full-time day job). If this is something that you or others in this thread are interested, please let me know. My contact info is in my profile. I have tried searching on hn for such support groups without much success; there have been interest in the past but they are many years ago.
Like all 'fads' and 'crazes', this one will be self-limiting. Give it 12 months or so and it will be over.

The words 'Tulip Mania' seem to spring to mind for some reason or other.
This is one of those rare situations when monoculture is superior. Integrating multiple ad-hoc build systems is a nightmare, especially when cross compiling. Using cargo and rustc is a dream by comparison. It would benefit the C/C++ community to rally around a single build/compilation tool chain. Excellent write up!
I'm open to the idea that there are real problems that are best solved by PoW/PoS blockchains and smart contracts, so I was hoping this article would reveal one. It doesn't. As mentioned elsewhere, Persona was already a perfectly good technical solution to this, years ago. It failed for various reasons, none of which would be addressed by blockchains/smart contracts. Likewise, the problem of "conveniently and securely log in everywhere" is well solved by Webauthn.

Arguing that "web3" will help because it will improve UX is ludicrous. "web3" provides nothing directly to boost UX. "web3 hype means there's lots of money sloshing around which can be used to improve UX" is an admission of defeat; all the money being sucked into the crypto space could be better deployed to solve these problems directly.

If this is the best shot at "real problems web3 solves", then there really is nothing there :-(.

> Rich people aren’t aware that their tales of success make people like me feel bad.

It's that most people aren't very aware of their surroundings. Ultimately it's a choice whether one trains one's self to be aware or not. It has nothing to do with rich or poor. You see them, standing in the middle of the grocery aisle blocking the way, oblivious to the existence of other people - and a thousand other similar scenarios. The same goes for being emotionally aware of other people and context related to them.

It sounds like the only thing your friends can do pro-actively is abandon you as a friend, stop hanging out with you, stop inviting you around. What else could they do given that you get angry and envious around them, and that's obviously not their fault. I'd suggest you have to correct that mental mistake or it's guaranteed those friendships won't last much longer.

Alternatively, instead of swimming in negative emotions, learn from your friends. So many of them are becoming rich, if that's what you want then see about learning from their accomplishments. Turn your time around them into a learning experience instead of a depressive torture. Turn that negative into a productive positive. If they care about you, they'll want to see you be successful as well.
I’d also suggest that some therapy session for yourself seems to be in order.

The unsaid things sound like on the lines of “they had good fortune, but why don’t I have it”.

Hard questions, probably not fit to be answered over a text forum:

If they are your friends, why do you feel bad when your friends have a happy event?

Are they really not your friends but there’s some other type of relationship there?

Do they make you unhappy because of their actions or are you unhappy with your own situation to begin with and comparing it to their situation? If it’s the latter, what can you do to improve your situation?

Hope some self reflecting questions help.
