I feel their "responsibility" and "trust" argument is maybe a little oversold here, but their final paragraph is right on the money.

I would argue a better title is "No rules/process by default". Which doesn't mean you go wild, having a strategy to develop software is very important, but strategies need to be customized. It means you apply just enough and constantly adapt so you have just enough of whatever you need to make sure development works smoothly. People will say PRs improve communication, can help prevent problems, help understand what changes are going into the code base etc, but all of those things can be done in many different ways, and depending on the group of people, there can be more effective ways of achieving that. So adopt what you need ( which may be PRs, or some variation ). But whatever you do, don't go overboard with justification.

The dangers with overselling and defending your justification for doing or not doing something can be a problem. It also can mean you don't adapt quickly to change. By overly emphasizing your approach being about "responsibility" and "trust" you kind of make out that PRs are about a lack of trust and responsibility, which is incorrect and may prevent you from adapting because you have misattributed a quality to a practice/process. This often happens when people go from A (problematic) -> B ( much better). They attribute too much weight to what makes B better than A when they may need to change those things to go to C (even better). In my 40 odd years of observing software development, this is really common, especially for many devs with around 5-10 years experience (including myself). You find much better ways of doing things, and you start becoming advocates for those things. In reality, you always need to be adapting and questioning and always deconstructing and reconstructing your strategies about how to do software.

> If most people need therapy to get back to normal, the human race would have died out.

I don't think "normal" and "human race died out" are the only options. Your grandparents' generation may not have ever had or gotten back to what we'd consider normal today.

We always hope to make the world a little better for our kids than it was for generations before. Our kids will grow into adults, and they'll find their normal. But how different will that be from a world in which there was no pandemic? I don't know the answer.
Same congestion, more demand being satisfied seems like a win to me—and to the marginal drivers, who decided to start driving when they weren’t before, or the new capacity would not have become congested.

This is such an oddball perspective: EDGE, 3G, LTE mobile networks all became increasingly congested as demand rose to meet supply. But nobody thought building out 5G was therefore pointless.
> The clinical picture is still evolving. There is much less information than for adults

We're nearing 300,000,000 cases worldwide. How is it still an open question? Maybe the reason there's "much less information" is simply because kids are not (by and large) getting majorly sick from it.

If kids were dying from covid in any significant numbers, I have no doubt I'd be seeing the stories on CNN and everywhere else by now.
Your experiment speaks to how we interpret transgressions, and for that, it is true- taxes are seen as robbery.

Does your nephew now own the sand he used to build that castle? I would hope not, as I think we’d agree, many kids would suffer!

And likewise, many people believe so strongly in their ownership of money, that they don’t mind if others suffer.

He said that Pluton will also prevent people from running software that has been modified without the permission of developers. [1]

Left unsaid is that Pluton could be made to securely allow the owner full control, but that would defeat the purpose of securing the device against the owner, so that the manufacturer is the true master.

It is surprising how few of the tech media educate their readers about this, and instead leave them in the dark to be misled by manufacturers.

> Is it only me that thinks of it most nights?

I'm sure everybody ponders about life and death sometimes, but I don't think it's common to think about it every night. Perhaps as we age, or as our health declines, the subject comes up more often as death is merely the natural consequence of life and we cannot pretend it won't happen to us when the signs of our deteriorating bodies are all too clear.

However, I do not believe (mentally?) healthy people below a certain age ponder their mortality every single night. I've heard people say they're reminded of their mortality more when they get children who depend on them, but even then I don't think it's a daily occurrence for them.

We worry about what we think is likely to happen to us, mostly in the short term. For many, if not most, people alive, death is not something we expect to see around the corner just yet. Perhaps some people are more prone to think in the (very) long term and there's definitely a philosophical component to these things. Sadly, there are also many that go through depressive episodes who will also often turn their attention to their deaths. However, from what I've seen, I think you're part of the minority.

There are a patchwork of state laws (reciprocity agreements, the "convenience rule", etc) and other caveats that don't make this universally true, but generally you pay taxes to (1) the state you you work in and (2) the state you live in. Note that #1 means the location where the work is being performed--not where the employer is located.

So if you commute interstate for your job, you'll sometimes find yourself filing income tax forms for multiple states.
Linguists call this usage a "generic intensifier", where whole meaning is stripped away and just means "more".

They circulate in and out of fashion as they grow tired. Recently we had "exponentially", correctly meaningful only to describe a series of numbers growing at rate out of all proportion, or sometimes decaying. Lately we have "incredibly", correctly meaning "unbelievably", which has somehow attained greater and longer currency than usual, used even in constructions like "incredibly honest". "Unbelievably" had its day. We have had "deeply", "madly", many others. Ancient ones include "very", which has almost entirely lost its original meaning of "truly", which has itself been a generic intensifier, and been weakened.

Any adjective or adverb may completely flip meaning by ironic use, and sometimes back again, such as "terrific", which once meant close to "horrific". "Plausible", literally "believable", meant in the early 20th century more frequently "unbelievable" or "unlikely". In living memory, "likely" meant "unlikely", as in "a likely story".

The extremum of ironic usage is "yeah, right".
Can you seriously say that everything every company you've ever worked for aligns with your personal morality ?

Odds are no, I agree this is a disgusting tactic, but every company does bad things. If you work at say Starbucks, and some of the beans are being produced unethically, you're not a bad person for making lattes.
Code reviews are a great opportunity to mentor newer developers as well.
I am ashamed that we think so little of ancient cultures.

they weren't stupid. they were as smart as we are, perhaps smarter.

they were far fewer in number than we are today, and the library of technology they could draw from to solve a problem was much smaller for them, is all.

nothing about the Antikythera mechanism is complex; the math is simple and the construction is that of a machine made many times and made slightly smaller each iteration, as sections are moved to fit into a more compact arrangement.

even coming up with the ratios to describe the motion of the planets would be easily done by one or more people who were dedicated observers who wrote their observations down.

nothing here is complex, yet we still consider new discoveries about the device which reveal unpredicted complexity to be "too advanced" to be made at the time it appears to be made...

I don't know why scientists do this. why can't we just admit that we don't know what ancient civilizations were capable of, rather than assuming they were incapable of simple tasks?

Great story from my mechanic about how that one time they started a diesel and couldn't get it to stop. They even tried throwing rags into the intake.

By that metric if you produce lots of electricity at the exact times when no one needs it, you are a hero because lots of MWh for some small build cost.

That metric ignores how much real world economy is being enabled by the power that you generated, roughly the price for which you could sell your energy in a free market.

My point would be that energy is much more important when the sun is not shining, etc. that makes e.g. solar not as good as a naive calculation would say. That sould be accounted for right?
Light reduces the iron center of the ferrioxalate ion, and oxidizes the oxalate ion into carbon dioxide. Since the green color of the solution is due to ferrioxalate ions, a loss of them will make the solution browner, which is the color of iron.

If there is excess oxalic acid present, then the extra oxalate ions can form ferrioxalate ions in the absence of light, causing the solution to revert to green.

> Like I said, in American culture, the norm is that if you have the means to make yourself or your family happy, you should do it.

That's kind of a bullshit cop-out. Way too vague and general to be a "norm". I make my family happy by helping lower their risk of diabetes and heart failure, so I guess I do subscribe to it. (I'm not directly knocking your choice to feed dino nuggets) but I think your general point is a bit shitty. I have many friends and close extended family that have successfully raised their children vegetarian or vegan - I don't care to do that but I am pretty strict about food choices in young children - it usually sets them up better even in the teen year as I have seen 1st and 2nd hand. It can be challenging - but extremely difficult is hyperbole. Young children get the vast vast majority of their food from home, one birthday party isn't going to force themselves to go on a hunger strike and starve to death. A daycare should be respecting dietary restrictions especially if you're providing the food.
> taxes are seen as robbery

Taxes are robbery. If you did the same to your neighbor under threat, you would end up in jail. If a mafia does that, they go to jail.

If the government does it, they do not. And they did not ask you to adhere to a contract. It works with reversed logic from what we do in real life with others.

There is no single logical justification to say it is not robbery. That is independent of whether what they do with that money is good or bad. A different discussion.

> And likewise, many people believe so strongly in their ownership of money.

Which represents just that you offered something worth that money to others, in the absense of threat or violence. So yes, now it belongs to them because of an exchange.

> that they don’t mind if others suffer.

Or even worse, some people subtract that money from us by providing no value, unlike the average of humans who at least sells something or provides a service and pretends that the people providing services or products are worse than the person subtracting in exchange of nothing under the threat of prison.

Also, it seems that to you the person being subtracted the money they earned and spent time to get it(could be money or anything else, I am talking about effort) do not suffer. I guess they do not have a soul or feelings or do not deserve the same respect as the others.

My family got a BBC B when I was about 6 or 7. I programmed a few bits and pieces in BASIC. Even got my parents to buy me Input magazine [1], which I only partly read.

I bought two of the metal ones and they're terrible. The mechanism on the spout that allows it to retract is so stiff that it's basically a struggle to fill a lawnmower tank because you have to hold it back as the gas starts pouring out. Since the egress is round, you're bound to spill before you get it into the hole. If you don't hold it back you have to press it so hard into the lawnmower it starts leaking around the seal at the base. Idk how anyone can tolerate these cans.
Thank you as well! It's interesting reading material.

I'd also mention that I find the current level to which trademarks and creative works gain protection to be excessive - so I don't really morally agree with how everything works today - but I do think that these parallels likely would cross over to the NFT domain in a pretty predictable way with laws as they currently are.

A lot of HN users were aware of bitcoin when it was worth pennies. Seeing it sitting at 50,000 dollars after trashing it created bitterness and cognitive dissonance.

If crypto/blockchain/web3 continues the current trajectory (or bitcoin goes to 100K), it will be worse, because the proud/bitter HN user will never admit to themselves that others can "get it" even though "I didn't get it".

that's not a bad deal...
I think "correct" is a weird way to think about it. I mean, if we take the theory that these are an oral tradition of post ice-age sea level changes - then there was more time between the ice age and the start of the written record, than there is between the bible and the present. These would have been myths told for thousands of years before they appeared in the written record.

That's the part that fascinates me - it seems obvious that the OT gets more realistic the closer events get to the written record. But some of the parts we write off as unrealistic could be the remains of stories as old as the human race. If the flood myth describes the end of the ice age, that would mean you and I are sharing an oral tradition 10,000 years old. I find that a lot more exciting than how factually accurate it is.
> The claim being made is that due to things like the borrow checker, this is often true for Rust code generally, moreso than it is with C and OpenMP. And, in Rust, if it doesn't Just Work, you'll get an error message pointing out exactly why not, whereas (in my understanding, I haven't used OpenMP) that is not going to happen in C.

Firstly, nobody knows what claim is being made here other than the author of the original question. Maybe let's let lovasoa reply.

Secondly, no, unless rust is the most rigid language ever invented (which as far as I am aware it's not) there most certainly IS a way to write code in a way where it may need to be modified to work with another library. I highly doubt that literally any random code unit in a random codebase could be made instantly parallel with no code changes other than calling it using rayon, this is just wishful thinking. Even not considering fundamental problems like figuring out how to chunk a workload appropriately for parallelization. The point I was making is that for any given codebase, it's possible to write code in such a way that it can be used with some tool easily such that it only takes two lines to make use of that tool, just like it's possible to not do this and require rewriting things.

You can't make judgements on how easy to use a library is on the basis of the fact that someone who rewrote their code specifically to use that library was able to use it by changing two lines of code. With OpenMP it certainly can sometimes be as easy as adding a #pragma omp parallel for somewhere, or it can be much more difficult than that. Nothing stops you from engineering a project to specifically be tailored towards working well with a particular library.

Yeah, I saw the terms mentor and coach being used in different and confusing ways in this thread. I figured they don't have clear meanings and that is fine. We can approximate well enough.

I imagined in-office mentoring as being something like meeting with the person for an hour or two a week, looking at the current state of their project and making comments, doing some pair programming, that sort of thing. I've received lots of informal mentoring myself in that way, so I was looking forward to doing it. But it never came up.
That’s not totally wrong but I’d put it differently. This site is home to a lot of people who work hard to try to do something useful. It inspires resentment to see people get rich by just holding a token. Makes you feel like a fool for trying to do useful work.
