> > There is definitely a sense of reward in simply buying a book - even one you never read

> Is there?

W-w-what? Of course there is reward in simply buy a book. Or, perhaps, one could say there is reward in the possessing of the book, and maybe not the purchasing. Or maybe that's a distinction with no distinction. In any case, it's certainly true that one can get reward from buying books without the necessity of reading them.

> Doesn't that just make you feel like an idiot for wasting your money?

Sorry, I'm not seeing where any "wasting" enters into it. If I buy a book I want, the reward is having it. There is no waste. I got what I wanted. What you're saying only makes sense if you make the rather odd assumption that the value of a book is exclusively in the reading of the book...

I mean... do you, or have you ever, collected anything simply for the sake of having that something? Stamps? Vinyl records? Magazines? Bicycles? Video game consoles? Something?? I mean, it's quite a common activity. I would think most anybody would be able to relate to this.
You fail to grasp the issue at hand. If company A hires, all at once, so many key employees of company B that company B can’t replace the workers soon enough to avoid irreparable damage then company A might be engaging in anti-competitive behavior.

I feel like this exchange is this skit writ small...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sngRrkQayDA. Evan meant a congenial "why are you doing this" as in like..honestly why do they match negative literals? Everyone took it as an accusatory statement that implied "you moron, why would you do such a thing?" which I at first took it that way too so I can totally understand! But on reflection I think he wouldn't react that way and I believe he was just misinterpreted. And by fake examples he meant contrived examples. He wasn't accusing them of acting in bad faith I don't think.
For me, the convenience is that you can prep the bag and pot long before doing anything else. It’s not necessarily less work, just better distributed IMO
> Or, the American model where all the jobs are in the city core in monsterous buildings (most not skyscrapers, but anyway ugly orgies of concentrated office space)

This is a creation of modern urban planning; it's not a "natural" consequence of having skyscrapers. Europe has its megacities and hyperdense cores too (which do feature mixed business/residential use, unlike much of the U.S.), and America has its scattered historical towns.

What's beautiful about a steak is that it transcends the collective human culinary craft. It's like this pure thing that prove god exists. All of those sauces, those creations of men, are more for making poorer quality steaks more palatable than elevating the best steaks. There is a reason restaurants that specialize in serving high quality steaks generally forgo the sauce.
Ask HN: How to make my macOS less distracting?
I want to get into a zone solving interesting problems. Sometimes that involves think deeply on research papers, practice algorithmic questions, writing on something, building a prototype, or simply allow mind to day-dream.

I gotta say, I've been unsuccessful at consistently doing any of these things. Then one time I went to a buddhist monastery for a weekend leaving tech behind. That was a revelation. Time to time I had the urge to look at phone I didn't have, but soon felt like a blessing.

When I look at my computer, I see a device not designed to help me with these goals. I constantly check email, messages, read toxic forums which I guess is partly because of being alone and lonely. Hard to make friends after college. Seems impossible to make good ones.

I wonder what you think about getting my box in order.

Preach, brother. Apple Park is a mix of 6 and 7 and it’s awful for actual work.
I live in a European city with only a handful of buildings above 5 stories tall.

Population density is too low for anything but a few restaurants and a grocery store anywhere but in the city center and a few larger shopping centers around the outskirts. The mix with businesses give mostly lunch restaurants that are closed in the evenings and it's just as much a ghost town as anything else after hours.
Of course you can use SWIFT, at the cost of bank fees, opaque exchange rates and waiting a week. You could also take a briefcase full of cash on a plane.

Whereas with crypto, you get transparent fees/rates, transaction confirmation in minutes, at any time of day, with a permanent cryptographic record of payment, and you don't unnecessarily leak information to the recipient's local tax authorities.
A different language, most likely. I'd use Python for this if the work being done isn't too CPU-intensive and I can afford to make big tradeoffs.

If you want to do data validation like this but for something with better performance while still retaining the benefits of a high-level GC'd language, then I'd try something like https://github.com/go-playground/validator for Go.

Currently, I am doing #4, but I cannot see enough progress to believe that I can achieve a positive result.

I tried #1, but the sale cycle is so long that no one wanted to take the risk.

Considering #3. I tried flippa a while ago and didn't get much results. It might be worth trying microacquire.

The second point makes perfect sense to me. I'll go that way.
What’s Amazon’s side?

I currently work with someone in a professional job who does an amazing job of dodging work.

“Did you get that document signed off last week?” - “Oh, I had to take my cat to the vet as it wasn’t drinking water” - “ok, but this week?” - “definitely”.

Rinse and repeated for a couple months. Every week is a new excuse.

If you asked her she’s say “I’m working extra hard hard” and “management should understand”. But no, she’s just great at dodging work and coming up with excuses. She can play the system well.

I’m not saying this person wasn’t illegally fired and Amazon is wrong, but it would be odd to not hear Amazon’s side.

My worry is that a lot what I like about Elm is just not compatible with the normal JS library ownership model. What I like is

a) Very few features, just enough so you can get your work done and there's just one good way to do it. If you don't have a grumpy BDFL then feature creep is inevitable and your language won't be lean and beautiful like Elm (arguably) is.

b) Infrequent releases so that you don't have to reinvent the wheel every few weeks. Elm gets like one release every two years and I very much like it that way. With a big community all helping to develop it rather than (again) one grumpy BDFL who drags their feet all the time there's no way they would be able to have that level of restraint.
> 40% of self-identified conservatives support first-trimester abortions (see the table at the end of https://news.gallup.com/poll/235469/trimesters-key-abortion-...). I think its weird to claim that my categorization is narrow when I'm explicitly broadening the definition of conservative compared to you, and not treating conservatives as a monoculture?

I'm not sure how this is supposed to help your argument. If anything it proves my point: the majority of conservatives don't even support first trimester abortions. So opposing expansion of third trimester abortion in a state that already has liberal abortion laws is hardly to be seen as an indicator of a particularly conservative stance.

I could keep engaging with this, but ultimately I think we're getting in the rut of a fundamentally different view on what counts as "conservative". I don't doubt that you earnestly view Xu and those other authors as conservative, but by that metric so are the bulk of liberals.

Imagine you are fighting for peasants rights; feudal doesn’t like it and orders to kill one peasant per day until you surrender. Question are you the bad guy for not surrendering?
Precisely. Team Topologies strongly advocates the "Inverse Conway Maneuver", where you shape your team and communications structures towards your desired architecture.
Again your missing or avoiding the point. Voter ID in Europe, is entirely different from what is being pushed in the US. The key question is Why is a group pushing for a solution to a problem that isn't happening?

There is almost zero voter fraud in this country. And it has been that way for decades. Do you acknowledge this? You can look back at countless research for the elections for 2020, 2016, 2012, 2008, 2004 ... As well as mid-terms.

Before discussing what we should do, we must estabilish the facts in common. This has been estabilished time and time and time again in the US over all 50 states, presidential, senatorial elections. There is absolutely miniscule voter fraud - and the very few instances over the past decades.

There have been on the order of only 50 fraudulent votes over the past two decades of elections. Yet hundreds of thousands of legitimate voters have been blocked from voting due to the new laws.

Then we get to the second question of why is ID being pushed so hard if there is no actual fraud it is preventing?

The reason is that it's being intentionally used make it easier and harder for different groups to vote. For example states have allowed gun licenses for voter id, but not college student ID. These two groups traditionally vote for different parties. Or the number of license stations and their are limited in areas that certain groups live to only being open once per month.

This is the reason for the push for the Voter ID. It provides a party with an advantage by trimming voter roles by raising the barries to get IDs specifically with groups that vote for one party over the other.

There have been less than 50 invalid votes over tens of elections over two decades, while VoterID laws have prevented hundreds of thousands of legitament people from voting. Why are we preventing hundreds of thousands of people with the right to vote from voting, to stop 50 people from voting illegally. It's not to improving election quality, becaues improving election quality would be ensuring those hundreds of thousands with the right to vote can. So blocking that many, to avoid a problem measured in the tens in not about election integrity. It's about favoring one political group over another. And the data strongly backs that up. [And if you have any data showing otherwise, please do share.]

Again, when you see a solution to a problem that isn't happening, dig in to see who benfits from that change. This rule applies to life in general.

> What’s Amazon’s side?

The thing that was found to be unsupported by the evidence.
If you can only justify a belief by appealing to the assumed superior knowledge of experts and specialists because you lack such expertise yourself, you're probably going to be wrong a lot less often when you appeal to authority than when you decide to disagree with them simply because experts are fallible.

I think music makers get lucky. Most of our software has reasonable copy protection. I've never had problems activating or opening something from Ableton or Native Instruments. Some people have trouble, but it's nothing like the horror stories I've heard out of other creative fields. My theory is the people at the top are mostly people who actually use the software or have at least had bad experiences with copy protection and don't want to contribute to the problem.
I find it is the internet that is the problem. When I've had my laptop on the road and no connectivity, I have no choice but to create on the device. Fortunately too I keep a number of projects on the machine for such occasions. Photos to sort, a backlog of old magazines (in PDF form) I want to peruse, code projects, etc....

I remember the 90's, having to delete solitaire games from my computer because I wasted too much time playing them. Now with the web always there....

I wonder if a multi-block-radius arcology as dreamt of in sci-fi will ever be built. Probably would require technology allowing both building strength improvements and construction cost reductions (automation?) along with reform of the legacy skyscraper regulations described in the article.

Of course massive economic price pressure and/or governmental action would be needed for such a project. It may have to piggyback off of a more critical infrastructure project, such as the support structures/legs of a space elevator (like Zalem in Battle Angel Alita).

> Making it inaccessible to tinkering is strictly worse for the user in all respects.

"all respects" is wrong. It also makes it so the proprietary developer can't say "here is a new version, but you must agree to some very nasty license terms, or accept some malicious feature along with it." NOT having a capability does have advantages, a physical book is impossible to be remotely deleted out of existence by DRM, but sure, you can't tinker with the software.

edit: yes, I understand in that the case of sticking the exact same software in a rom vs a read-write memory hurts the ability of a user reverse engineering it, which could ironically decrease user freedom over time. Calling this out for FSF to address is a good thing.
> are you the bad guy for not surrendering?

those peasants who died are killed by the feudal lord, so no - 100% not the bad guy for fighting.

The only way you could be considered a bad guy is if you used peasants as suicide bombers - and only if those people didn't volunteer.
I'm really confused, are you denying that the guy who self-identifies as conservative and anti-leftist, and who has worked for The Federalist (a conservative publication) and Young America's Foundation (a conservative youth movement) is not conservative? Like pretend I never mentioned abortion. Xu is very obviously conservative, right?

Fundamentally, the point I was making was that Xu was conservative on basically every issue you mentioned (except guns, which I don't think he has a stance on), and this is clearly true. If you read the article in full, it's clear that Xu is pro-life.

You seem to be doing this thing where you take any situation where he presents a moderate position as better than a left one and use those to claim he's moderate. But this is weird, because there are lots of places he suggests we move right a lot, and even in the other cases, he's not arguing that we only move right a little, he's arguing we should move at least a little right. He's always in favor of more conservative options, and there aren't really cases where he argues in favor of less conservative options.
> Expecting a language be better "enough" is an unrealistic one, you will be waiting forever.

Disagree. I think the "market" (the set of programmers) defines "enough". When a language is enough better (in some area, doesn't have to be all areas) you see widespread adoption.

C was enough better than PL/I, ALGOL, and assembly. Java was enough better than C++. (Why? Garbage collection, and the huge standard library.)

So far, Rust is not enough better than C++.

Now, I know this is kind of circular. I'm saying that a language is "enough" better if it wins in the market, and I'm saying that a language wins in the market if it's enough better. But I have some trust in programmers, that they are not just sheep. If a language is better than other languages in a way that matters to actual working programmers, a fair number of them will use it.
I think the issue isn't that much that no reasonable hardware can archive it, but that the "compromise" actively encourages not just insecure systems, but also making systems even less free.

It's a bit like saying that a Windows notebook is only "free" if you can't install other systems and updates are disabled. There probably is more or less reasonable hardware which could implement these restrictions, but such hardware would in no way be more "free" than a notebook where you could just install Linux.
I assume you live in the United States. By your logic, you are complicit with the genocide of Native Americans and the enslavement of peoples from Africa then.

>You should think about the kind of behavior either of these feelings encourage, or discourage.

If I was going to drive myself to destitution chasing good feeling like a rat in an experiment, there are far more effective hits I could get than just "the feeling of spending money on something I like, but may not actually use."

I already have to have the skills to not let good feelings completely drive my decision making, so what benefit is there to making an unavoidable process into a source of negative feelings? Would it be healthy to feel nausea every time I eat so that I don't overindulge?
This type of synchronous code is most impressive to those who come from JavaScript where everything is clearly asynchronous. For instance, in Go you can read a file synchronously using os.ReadFile and it will generally be performant. In NodeJS, you need a callback to achieve the same result.
Alright I'll bite. This obviously starts out as an allegory for the ways we attempt to make sense of the world, with the different solutionist dogmas stand in for religion / truth from authority and the sectioners being a stand in for science / truth from evidence. The way the pre-solutioners twist the sectioners words is a stand in for rationalizations like trying to shoe-horn the big bang into creation myths. The sectioners making pictures of themselves and their funders is a swipe at academia, the fallible real approximation of science in its true platonic form.

Then there's the whole leaving the room epiphany and I don't really get what is meant by this. To exit the room, to go beyond the reality we can't make sense of, means what exactly? Do psychedelics? Meet god and become a prophet? Stop trying to make sense of the world and find the door to happiness? Or maybe all these questions missing the point and I'm just tearing the map into puzzle pieces as we speak.
Ok, so how long before someone looks at those flights, times and maps out your exact house address?

Yes, the emu for M1 will likely run very well, and OpenGL 3.x works very reasonable on M1, despite being marked as 'deprecated'. From the issue tracker, they want to use Molten Vulkan (on Metal) and clang lacks some C++20 features they use.
