> No common culture, history, identity, ancestry, anything.

The EU has freedom of movement and very vibrant local cultures. Arguably, the same is true of the U.S. Even many individual cities within countries maintain strong identities that set them apart from other places.

There are valid reasons to argue that totally open borders are unrealistic; but to think that they'll ever lead to a monoculture is quite baseless.
I'll add to part of your statement. I'm 5'7" and in school people told me I was short. I felt self conscious about it up until through dating.

For me, what it did is made me the most confident person I know - or frankly have ever met. It made me know myself. What I've found is taller guys, generally lack strong self confidence because people defer to them without real work. I then realized most people are followers, and question themselves constantly.

Once past the general "people look naturally to a taller person", I found that I can outclass them. My dad independently found the same thing, and once told me "To find the man with the lowest self confidence, just look up".
Found this in SICP Chapter 1.

The acts of the mind, wherein it exerts its power over simple ideas, are chiefly these three: 1. Combining several simple ideas into one compound one, and thus all complex ideas are made. 2. The second is bringing two ideas, whether simple or complex, together, and setting them by one another so as to take a view of them at once, without uniting them into one, by which it gets all its ideas of relations. 3. The third is separating them from all other ideas that accompany them in their real existence: this is called abstraction, and thus all its general ideas are made.

Most of the countries have two or two choices, align with Russia/China, or align with the West.

Back in 2017, 69% of Ukrainian wants to join NATO[1].

It is Putin's own fascination that Ukraine should go back to Russia that starts all this mess[2].

Even if US has sponsored the color revolution, so what? Between two evils, choose the lesser one.

You have to learn to like yourself before others will though, having a deep sense of self loathing, even self consciously, will put people off of you, you emanate a deep proverbial psychological stink - and it turns people away.
Remember that everyone is going through something and that the grass is always greener on the other side.

I love my wife and kid and am pretty much never lonely, but haven't had the time to do much of anything in ages. Before having kids, we would go out to dinner, read a book at a coffee shop...etc. Now I just work and parent and occasionally have a few hours a week for recreation.

This isn't to belittle your experience (I hope you're able to find what you're looking for), but to let you know that we're all there with you in spirit in case you find that slightly uplifting.
>Cthulix is all about bilateral contracts, and hence discourages Files and multiparty filesystems.

Sanity at last. Default access to a filesystem is the single biggest sin of Unix. It was a reasonable thing to do in the 1970s, but not since.

>Rather than having a filesystem, you would create an ETL that had multiple inputs (one from each producer) and multiple outputs (one to each consumer).

I strongly suggest a capability based approach to have read/writeable resources... but maybe that's not really the best way...

>Future work: build a gridapp that makes it easy to create bilateral File-like things.

Ok, I'm willing to ditch random access files because this is a multithreaded parallel world. A gridapp that allows for versioning of the state of a "file" and appending mutations that are enforced in a consistent manner, or are guaranteed to become consistent at some point, would be a very good thing. Think of the really old "Paradox" database that was internally append only and versioning, but appeared to be read/write when necessary.

Huh? The only requirement of evolution is that organisms sometimes reproduce.

Well, that's interesting. That wasn't in my textbooks.

It certainly makes Locke seem a bit more human.

BTW, I've had a bee in my bonnet for years over examples like this. So much stuff is edited out from what we are taught. Sure, this is trite and somewhat useless example but so often this is not the case.

Another example is documentary footage: almost daily, one sees a tiny snippet of a scene cut of some important news or historical event which disappears within a second before one's taken the scene in. Why bother showing it if the scene is incomprehensible?

What makes this so annoying is that we all know there's more footage as cameramen don't shoot scenes like that (they let the camera run as long as possibke). Unfortunately, the ordinary punter never gets to see the stuff that's left on the cutting room floor.

A lot of times with food apps I don't immediately see how to set the pickup time or don't have a lot of faith that it really is going to be ready when I want it.

When I talk to somebody on the phone I feel a lot more sure.

I worked at a place near Union Square, NYC and was in the habit of ordering food for pickup from sweetgreen because I knew it all worked. I have thought about ordering from restaurants in Collegetown, Ithaca from the web but just haven't gotten in the habit because I don't feel the certainty.

Much easier if you're happy with a cut that simply involves running clippers over your entire head.

I start by use a number 5 guard (can't remember the actual cutting depth measurement) and run it over my entire head for a base level. Then I use progressively shorter guards on the sides and back, usually down to a 2. I will then also use the 2 to clean up around my temples and hairline to get a nice clean look.

As for the back, just gotta get used to finding a comfortable grip with your bent behind your head and use your other hand to touch the guard and your head at the same time as you go to get a feel for where it is and how it's oriented. A hand mirror is useful too as you can use your free hand to hold it behind you and see what you're doing by looking at it in your bathroom mirror.

Unless you're really skilled (I'm not), just go for a very short, simple cut. If you have someone who lives with you who can help you use a trimmer on your hairline on your neck, that's very helpful. Frankly I can't tell the difference between cutting my own hair and when I would pay $30 for the same cut.
I have probably used Uber Eats for 100+ times over the past two (pandemic) years, and I've maybe have my orders being messed up 3-5 times, each time refunded within the next ten minutes. YMMV.
I honestly don't understand why devs are so hung up on formatting.

I know, I know consistency. I've heard that for years. I disagree that it matters. Where I work, one codebase is formatted with black, another is not. The un-blackened codebase is rife with all sorts of style inconsistencies. This does not make it more taxing to read.

The only downside is the useless PR nits from folks who randomly decide you ought to format something a bit differently. If it were up to me, I would just ban all style related comments and move on with life. But adopting Black seems politically feasible, so I advocate for that.
You are right to point out that MIC related projects like those helped society. And so did the internet, obviously. But infrastructure projects like the big dig are far more common at various scales across the US. Typically they increase the value of land owned by sponsors or relatives of sponsors of the effort, or hire a series of contractors with relationships to the sponsor.

Biggest issue is that DoorDash lies about how much you’re paying for delivery. They show you some of the fees, but hide the fact that the menu prices are often jacked up by 50% or more.

This. Sorry, I can't give the secret to happiness, but I can tell you to stop looking in places where you won't find it. One of those places is expecting others to give it to you when you have none to give back.
Historically I would have agreed with this position, but debuggers have gotten a lot better, so it's typically possible to break wherever you need to.

Yes, and some of them they are working on. While others are not tuned on for iOS Safari. I think this is a much easier fix that their App Store problem though. They just need specific Webkit features only available inside these HTML5 Apps ( And not within Safari browser for whatever reason they have ). Fully Sandboxed, and zero / refined or control access to phonebook or photos.

Instead they made App Clips. While being useful, they are still the holding the ultimate power for access to Apple customers.
I feel like there’s something unfair or even just silly about evaluating “guy with opinions” (any guy) vs what are sort of political memes is silly.

And honestly I see so much of that it’s tiresome. I’ll express concern over something and be accused of supporting something else, and so on. People only seem to imagine these kind of political memes these days.

Granted maybe the point is that politics is disconnected from many people’s thoughts, that’s fair and probably accurate.
We're looking to develop that artists'/writers' fund using some help from Kickstarter. The fund will help artists/writers get something for their hard work.

fReeDoM oF sPeeCh is so ridiculous but 10x in this situation. This has nothing to do with freedom of speech, this has to do with not backing a platform that is ok with misinformation. Rogan isn't a guy that wants all sides heard, he's just trying to get even more rich than he currently is. He knows his audience and he caters to them no matter the ethical cost.

Neil Young doesn't want to be associated with it. This is as much about freedom of speech as Fox News cutting off people who go off agenda.
I believe our democratic process gets corrupted by the influence of money (and the legalization of bribery by the courts). But there’s no evidence this is all part of some coordinated effort that persists over time. Even if there is some evil cabal out there, they clearly do not exert complete influence as evidence by all the populists officials elected in the last four years. Why would Google/Facebook et al hand pick officials that want to break them up? These people are bad for big business because they act on reckless impulse.

Also maybe the status quo democrats aren’t leftists after all? And yes, I think these are useful “labels”. You’re implying the Illuminati or someone made up the left/right dichotomy to divide us but these have been used for over 200 years. Finally, I don’t think supporting resource extraction is intrinsic to one side. Lots of socialist countries export billions of dollars of oil a year. Equating anti fossil fuel sentiment with leftism is a very western way of viewing the issue.

Honestly the only conspiracy I really see is the political nihilism evinced online. It’s like some people want the citizenry to just give up or something. It’s still possible to exert political power as a normal voter. Don’t like the two choices you were presented with? Well did you vote in the primary? No? Oh gee.

People are taking this article to mean we are all living in a veil of ignorance while our puppeteers present us with a false dichotomy. I think an easier explanation is the US Government is a lumbering bureaucracy with lots of momentum and a few newly elected officials aren’t going to change anything. People overrate the influence of individuals and try to form narratives that don’t exist to explain the world in a way that makes sense. When really events and changes emerge dynamically from complex systems in a way that can’t be easily explained

Too much diversity is really really really bad.
“I tried to meet new people at hobbies and dance lessons, but guess what - they're all full of lonely developers and other socially awkward people - short guys looking for girlfriends, unattractive/aging women looking for husbands, etc.“

I wonder why you have trouble making friends.
I don't think this is specific to working as a dev. It's more about the pandemic in my opinion. If you're not busy raising a family of your own right now (in which case you'd be like your friends, too busy for a social life), then you presumably still want to meet & be around people, and the loss of the office as a place for that, is a bigger loss than it is for someone who's not leaning that way.
You can choose to work and save and get a little richer every day. The mentality you describe is actually the most dangerous hurdle I found on the path to happiness.
I am a huge fan of this stack. I love that Supabase is spending millions of VC money to popularise this stack, solving all issues, improving PostgreSQL and PostgREST, writing documentation, conference talks etc. kind of sucks the stack success requires Supabase to die (technology becoming commodity, which it already it, Supabase people did make everything open source, true to their promises).

Supabase has zero differentiation. They have a nice "PGAdmin" if you may, but no one will pay for entire database hosting because of an admin interface. When it comes to hosting DB AWS, Azure etc have massive advantage.

Supabase will simply popularise the stack, and then when time to actually host the database comes people will move from Supabase to AWS etc.

Also the best language for UI is not JS, but something like FTD if we continue to make the progress we are making. Hopefully FTD + SQL Is all you need to know soon.

Absolutely. Also, somehow, the ability to write postgresql triggers and functions in standard languages (Python, Javascript) seems to be vastly underutilized.

The times are changing though. If there's anybody here from Supabase team, would love to chat about these topics.

Or (3) companies that make $$$ or save $$$ from using Postgres could hire kernel developers to implement a better solution for buffered I/O. The problem is that the companies who are serious about I/O recovery use Direct I/O, so engineers that are employed by those companies have plenty of other improvements such as io_uring, improving general storage performance, adding support for inline encryption engines to improve performance on mobile devices, etc., etc., etc.

People seem to forget that Open Source does not mean that users get to demand that unpaid volunteers will magically do work for their pet feature requests. It just means that the source code is available and people are free to improve the code to make it better fit their use case. A proprietary OS is like a car whose hood is welded shut, and only the dealer is allowed to service it. An open source OS means that you can take the car to whomever you like, or even service the car, or improve the car, yourself. It does not mean that you get to have service or improvements to your car engine for free.

The other thing to note here is that Postgres was issuing fsync(2) calls from different processes, and some of those processes were ignoring the error return from fsync(2). If there is an I/O error, fsync(2) will tell userspace about it. However, there is nothing in POSIX which states that once a file has an I/O error associated with it, the fsync(2) system call will return errors forever and ever, Amen. So Postgres was being a bit dodgy with error returns as well, and was demanding that something that POSIX clearly never promised.
You get downvoted ofc because the mainstream thinking is always “diversity is good” but I totally get what you meant.

Let us be downvoted together. Doomsayers often are hated.
People want to solve problems that matter to them, and most will not want to write their own HTML or run their own server. But some will.

Windows benefited from Excel because Excel was (and is!) the most widely available IDE in most companies, and provided a ridiculous amount of functionality (too much!) via VB*.

And it's a huge, fundamental, business-defining leap to say "We're going to let developers (and now users) capture more value out of our platform than we get, because we'll win in the end via growth."

I honestly don't think Google is there. And Facebook and Apple sure as shit aren't.
I used to be a fan of the idea, but over time I formed the opinion that "ordinary" software is just too error-prone to be worthy of full orthogonal persistence and life-long up-times. Tunes was supposed to be based on a high-level type-safe, memory-safe language runtime — but that would just be the least requirement. IMHO, formal methods and proof-carrying code (or some other novel idea altogether) would have to be applied throughout to avoid errors that would persist.

Orthogonal persistence has got an up-swing in academia in recent years after the introduction of new non-volatile memory tech, such as 3D CrossPoint. But I think that some of these researchers have applied it a bit naïvely. The best NVRAM is still much less reliable than DRAM, so it still needs e.g. wear-levelling and error-correction (and even write-throttling) — like what modern file-system stacks do.

People aren't supposed to be happy when they're isolated -- and being happy doesn't naturally end isolation. That's absurd, and a victim-blaming mentality. (Not to imply OP is a victim.)

The isolation is because we're an atomized society. Humans are psychologically supposed to exist in stable tribes. These have been shrunk down to nuclear families in modern life.

> The 7 year old holding a freedom sign

This is always disingenuous to me. Any adults can get their little kids to hold any sign they want... moral, immoral, any message at all. That's not indicative of anything.

I haven't been keeping up beyond the surface level so I have no idea if these truckers are only protesting mandates or if they're secretly neo-nazis and worse.

But I do know that if the government and media wanted to dismiss a protesting group they're nervous about, what they'd do first is villainize them as a fringe group of either crazy people or hateful people or both. That the prime minister calls them a fringe group is not indicative of anything too.
Kanye West really was the best candidate. Even better than Bernie. Though I guess many people here at HN would have preferred Yang, and that's a valid opinion too.
Pretty much the whole world is hoping that vaccination and omicron will lead us all out of the covid vslley. This will make it a problem at the level of flu, with shots for those at risk each year.
