Your demand of having users does not supersede my right to have laws enforced in my jurisdiction. That's the point of sovereignty.

If that means I don't get your business and I'm worse off for it, I'm happy to have my laws changed. Or maybe someone else will come up with the same service who does follow the local law.

You're basically discovering something that physical stores have had to deal with forever. Gary's International Store of Chainsaws and Weed knows that it can't sell chainsaws in jurisdictions where chainsaws are illegal to sell from stores. The people of that jurisdiction made the decision that chainsaws should not be sold from stores; Gary doesn't get to ignore that. Instead he has to incorporate the fact that not all stores get the same inventory in his logistics.

If that means Gary refuses to open his stores in such jurisdictions at all, that's fine. The people of the jurisdiction can decide whether they're happy with the outcome and change their laws if they're not.
I can see that, however the issue is Texas state laws apply to Austin. So you aren't exactly shielded.for example : In Texas, abortions are now banned as early as six weeks into a pregnancy. Known as SB 8, the new law represents the nation’s most restrictive ban on the procedure currently in effect. According to a recent NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist national poll, Texas’ law is unpopular across the political spectrum. (https://khn.org/news/article/texas-abortion-law-rape-incest-...)

> If the next pandemic is even more serious than the current one …

… than Bill Gates is absolutely right, and your positition of invalidating pharmaceutical patents would not only just be moral grandstanding, but stupidly harmful.

1. Hundreds of pharmaceutical companies tried to develop a vaccine and how many succedded? It is a big bet which can be lost, and we need many players in the game competing to win the big prize.
2. The vaccines turned out to be differently effective and furthermore different for the variants. J&J was good for the original Covid-19, not for Delta.
3. The capital and drive necessary for ramping up production and the complex supply chain is massive plus timing in the pandemic is essential. Can underdeveloped countries pump out hundreds of millions of doses cheaper than Pfizer/Moderna? I highly doubt it.

Capitalism and the market economy made both very cheap (AstraZeneca with under $5) and very best vaccines (Pfizer/Moderna with $20 a dose). This was the winning system! Why throw it away? The pandemic cost trillions in world GDP, the cost big pharma is profiting from the well earned solution is a trifle compared. I would be all for rich countries subsidizing poorer ones, the pandemic was a global problem, but don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

> people just lose their jobs without inflation, because of the stickiness of nominal wages

Does deflation mean suddenly that once people "lose their jobs" they will never find another one?
Sure, we can certainly agree on that.

But can we make it more tangible with an example?

Would you argue that AWS, for instance, is a company that produces no new value?

One might argue they add value, but their price is too high for the value they add. We'd go back to what I've said before: value perceived by a service is subjective and highly dependent on the context.

You're allowed one short stint, especially early in your career. People are only going to be concerned if they see a pattern of short tenures.

Definitely put it on your resume. Don't overexplain it in interviews. Just say that you were trying to figure out what kind of opportunity was right for you, and that this company turned out not to be what you were looking for.

Don't say that the work environment was toxic or anything like that. You should never say anything really bad about previous employers in job interviews. There's nothing to gain from that.
I agree. It definitely helps me (and it helps me enough that I'm willing to put up with the bureaucratic hurdles and considerable side effects) but it's far from a "cure".
There's something wrong with your account creation process, it rejects just about any auto-generated (by Chrome) password even though they easily meet the listed criteria.
That guideline about TV news is there precisely because most such stories are not intellectually interesting. If HN were going to become a general news site, this would have happened already 10+ years ago. Things have been stable in this respect, at least, for a long long time, and a thread about Betty Davis represents zero threat to the quality of HN. On the contrary, it enhances it.

I realize different people would make borderline calls differently. I'm making that call on this one; if you disagree, fair enough. But on a level of the principle involved, there's no change here.

> but if done correctly I believe that something like this can be useable for complex applications as well

I think this is one of the most fascinating "problems" in IT. There have been THOUSANDS of attempts to auto-convert design to code and it never works. It's been tried for at least 30 years now and still nobody solved this problem.. This leads me to believe we are solving the wrong problem.

I actually believe Flash was the closest thing to this holy grail. Except it was acquired by greedy Adobe that failed to evolve the product.

I am far from having a solution, I was just thinking that WASM is actually similar to Flash. What I mean is this: whole Figma can run in browser thanks to WASM. It has all the tools to visually create responsive websites in it. You can share Figma file as view-only. If I go to extreme, why not have Figma file in read-only mode on custom URL? No translation to HTML, just expose the Figma engine directly. (bandwidth and SEO problems are not impossible to solve)

At the end of the day, we are just trying to come up with different ways of adjusting same content for different screen sizes. It's a shame we are still losing this battle :-)
The old idea was that corporations should survive at the expense of temporarily high unemployment.
This seems like an alarmist take, the truth is wages haven't been going up much and yet inflation was occurring regardless. What caused inflation then?

Why do folks only ever worry about inflation when it comes to increasing the bottom wages?
Stretch to call it a brand. haha
I agree with everything you said, and had the same problems with writing when I was younger. However, I would say that it's not so much that students don't have anything to say, it's that they're not allowed to write about the things they actually care about in a way that is natural to them.

Someone who's had three years of practice writing free-form persuasive essays about the non-school approved topic that they spend all their time thinking about (the NFL, girls, video games, etc.) is going to have a much easier time picking up the structured five-paragraph essay format than someone who was forced to write a bunch of five-paragraph essays about books they hated.

All of the greatest essays I read now are random in length, style, topic, and presentation--why did I have to write somewhere between 50-100 structured essays about books and historical events I didn't care a whit about when Aldo Leopold was out there just dashing off whatever he was thinking about? The progression went like this:

1. I hated writing about historical events and books.

2. I graduated college.

3. I started reading unstructured essays about topics I cared about.

4. I started writing unstructured essays about topics I cared about.

5. I started writing about historical events and books.

> This includes anyone who works for minimum wage

No, it doesn't, unless they have a contract fixing their pay at minimum wage; being currently paid minimum wage doesn't mean you don't get raises.
Same with Twitter. Twitter really improved in that area. I remember reading they had whole servers just to deal with Justin Bieber tweets
Ah, okay. Then yeah, the original reply is valid. I assumed you meant a new user to a site, since you can't recommend anything then no matter what you've built (without user tracking that can maybe have built up some kind of profile from elsewhere).
I think there's some sort of "deep learning" analog going on, where we memorize a lot and it subsequently leads to generalization (that can still sometimes overfit and be wrong). For me anyway, I write and read a lot, and having broad exposure to words coming from different root languages etc gives a good feeling for what spellings make sense. At the same time, I'd guess the majority of my adult vocabulary has come out of books, or at less adjacent to them, so it's pretty uncommon to be writing a word I've never seen before

“Booters” are a cat and mouse game. They come and go fast, what’s on the first page of Google today will be removed tomorrow (metaphorically) and be replaced by another (random tech word).(newest TLD). It’s probably not worth CloudFlare’s time having a dedicated team addressing those, I assume they primarily handle them via reports from federal agencies or individuals. They more than likely aren’t hosting the “traffic” that gets sent in a DDoS (probably delegated to a botnet of IoT devices) so I can’t imagine much can be done from the detection front as the traffic to the site is generic user traffic.
I like websites that load fast, have no popups or misdirections

This is interesting. It reminds me of how people usually ask of people with aphantasia to "just visualize". We tend as a group to forget that individuals are very different from each others. Some people have no inner monologue, others have no images, some can never hear the difference in pitch while other have a pitch perfect hearing, etc.

My observation is that many people do the most important tasks first - but do them badly. Doing something well generally requires motivation so it's often better to wait until you're motivated if you care about quality.
I totally agree that lock-in is there. What I'm disputing is that AWS has exploited it maliciously to screw their customers. More specifically, this statement:

> AWS was fucking everyone on egress price and nobody could do anything about it

I disagree because AWS has been transparent with their prices since day one. Everyone who subscribed was aware of how much it cost. AWS didn't screw anyone by increasing prices after they were locked-in.
We'd have to cover every word with accents. We'd have to have accents for "letter has no effect on sound," "these three letters actually represent this other letter," and "pretend you're French when you say this, but French with a severe head injury."
Tbh I think central bankers were betting that 0 interest rates would have inflated the economy out of bad debts. The pass on effect never materialized and asset managers went crazy.

If inflation hit 10% in ‘08 the banks would have been hammered on paper due to fixed income bets, but would never have been in danger of running out of cash due to new deposits.
Thank you. Found the udemy courses today too and I think this is ultimately what we'll do. Basically every other vendor's videos are some weird paw patrol/person of interest hybrid. The company pricing for udemy is strange though - as far as I can tell they won't let you purchase a bunch of seats for one course, they insist on a subscription to their catalog - so will be tedious to setup an account for each person but that's fine.
That's why you sneak it in piecemeal as you go, and leverage the critical path of urgent things that aren't finished yet to get it done.
Consider the case of a depreciating asset like a factory. If the factory is not running and selling products then the factory will still incurr maintenace costs to keep it immediately deployable.

Consider that money carries no such depreciation. The owner will fire people and sell the factory parts to save himself the hassle of a depreciating asset. Workers lose their jobs. They incur costs of living like food even when they are unemployed. People depreciate just like capital does. The money capitalist abandons both his physical capital and his human capital. If you tell this story a marxist who hasn't read marx' second and third volume (specifically the parts that engels wrote) he wouldn't believe you.

Anyway, the conclusion is quite simple. Money is above everything. Therefore everything strives to be like money. Gold is permanent, human life is not, therefore we must grow the economy and reproduce faster than the rate we die, to create an artificial appearance of permanence.

yeah that's the biggest one of the things that I think is holding back Austin. But I don't actually know. I vehemently dislike the law, but in the context of claim in the OP, this could be attractive to a certain type of tech person that wouldn't otherwise be in california. Who knows.
>While we did our best to communicate this months in advance on our twitter, blog, discord, and documentation, it's hard to reach everyone and we totally agree that this is not ideal

That doesn't look like your best. Here's the blog you refer to[1]:

Imagine I came to it around the time of the switchover. Which of those headlines looks like it's alerting me that my transaction history will be gone?

Here's the Optimistic ethereum site:

https://www.optimism.io/

Where is/was the blaring warning about missing transaction data?

Here's the Twitter page[1]:

https://twitter.com/optimismPBC

The only pinned tweet is a cute meme about the whitelist change, nothing to head off frustrated users wondering where transaction history went. (I don't know how to link a historical post in context but I can assure it was not evident on the Twitter feed why I was missing transaction history, and there are no such warnings before.)

The only reason I even got on the Optimism Discord is because none of these places had any information! And then, even when I went to the Discord, and go to #announcements, and look at what was being announced in the runup and release, the loss of transactions still isn't mentioned! [2]

Maintainers talk about the upgrade, to be sure, but not this implication of it.

So no, I don't know how can justify the claim that you made a serious effort to alert users.

I majored in math and took a course on waves through the physics department. Everyone struggled with why imaginary numbers would show up and I was just like "we took the square root of this negative number, and the reals aren't closed when we take square roots, therefore imaginary."

I missed out on a lot of physical intuition and had basically no concept of what the imaginary numbers actually meant

It persisted my streak -- not sure why yours didn't transfer. I did see the onboarding page again.
I use Mastodon as well as Twitter. Even though there are things that I love about it, I can't say it's easier to use or has more appeal than Twitter.

I think Twitter is easier for the mass public to join. Go to Twitter.com, put username and password, verify phone number. Done! The screens are cleaner and very intuitive.

For mastodon, there's more text and messaging about the differences regarding Twitter, what's the Fediverse, instance rules. So you just landed on the main screen and you have to think about choosing an instance with different number of people, different rules.

After you are in, you can't search!! You can only search usernames or hashtags, but that is REALLY cumbersome and ineffective since people don't write "This is my #Twilight #book #review #bookreview URL". If you are not tech/privacy focused, the trending tags are usually not interesting, apart from #caturday I guess?.

Even after you are able to follow people, you can't quote-retweet (which is a pro AND a con), and even "retweeting" is cumbersome if you are on someone's profile from another instance.

Sharing is also more cumbersome since there's no bookmarklet or chrome extension that I could find, and sites don't have a "share on mastodon" link. The solution was to enable a cross-poster, so I just keep posting on Twitter.

About instances: on some main instances, speed is ok, but try to follow some pic focused profiles on smaller instances. It can take like 5~10 seconds for an image to load. And now on the iPhone official app, I can't seem to be able to download pictures anymore, and the option to bookmark a post (not like) is not there, only on the web-mobile version.
That's a really good example. Was it supposed to be a bad one?

The only glaring exception I run into in Spanish is "que" being pronounced "ke."
I think in a lot of ways you're correct. FP and imperative code tends to makes state explicit; OOP hides state. The latter MAY make things "easy"; it never makes it simple.
I launched a stupid game last week: Let It Slide.

I'm just proud I finished this project, having a tendency to get bored extremely easily and only motivated by new stuffs (oh a bird!)

>1) Creating limited editions of generative art.

I personally think that it's not really an interesting feature. Creating
scarcity out of something that ought not to be scarce is just a way to
infiltrate capitalism in every aspect of our lives. Hacker culture historically
went completely against that (phreaking, breaking DRM etc...) but I concede that
it's more of a philosophical/political argument than a technical one. I still
find it utterly depressing.

I would also argue that there's usually a significant difference between
ownership of a token on the blockchain and what the local IP laws says. IP law
is messy and sometimes subjective, putting things on a blockchain can make
things messier rather than simpler.

>2) "Forever" art like on-chain pixel and ASCII art.

So that one is interesting, but I would argue that it's only true if you
consider that the blockchain is "forever". In order for that to be true it means
that you have to believe that your blockchain of choice will be considered
significant enough by a number of people across... well eternity really. This
could be true for the "big" ones like Bitcoin and Ethereum, although I'd say
the scene is way too young to be sure of that. It's as good a bet as any I
suppose.

But here's the thing. We already have "forever" digital "art": the source code
of the Linux kernel. There are countless copies of it across the globe, and
it'll remain archived for the foreseeable future.

My point here is that if something is significant enough it won't be difficult
to convince a bunch of people across time and space to archive it. People do
that for old videogames, music albums, usenet posts etc... And unlike the
blockchain you can actually curate it, you don't have to archive the neighbor's
sandwich picture collection. I'd argue that this curation power is a feature,
and the fact that the blockchain just stores everything forever is a bug. It
actually means that the bigger the blockchain grows, the less likely it is that
people will want to store personal backups of it.

So I don't think the blockchain does anything novel here, and I don't think it
does it better. Forcing arbitrary people to store arbitrary data forever
regardless of value or interest is just wasteful.

>3) Frankenstein-like adaptations of traditional fintech constructs into a decentralized implementation, such as AMMs.

I think the oracle problem is really going to make "DeFi" a tough sell. There
is, in fact, a lot of trust in our financial system, and being able to use a
central authority (the justice system) to settle issues makes things a whole lot
simpler and efficient.

In general I firmly believe that trust is usually a good thing that makes
systems more efficient and this obstination of cryptopeople to get rid of it is
more based on political ideology than pragmatism. Trust, but verify. But
trust.
Again, I have to agree with you. I know I don't represent the majority, and I know that web apps have advantages (at least in this economy, so long as natural resources are cheaper than programmer hours). I don't argue with that. But I still find it a bit sad ;)

This is basically a survey of a bunch of posts, and doesn't do much to provide a consistent critique.

Regardless, the true weak point of OOP is arguably implementation inheritance, which just doesn't leave you with a consistent semantics that's open to extension and changes in the basic/derived classes (that is, the well-known "fragile base class" problem is still a showstopper). But that has always been a pretty ad-hoc feature anyway. The other components of what people call "OOP", including encapsulation and interface inheritance. are all pretty well defined and not as prone to misuse.
It's still not horrible advice if the goal is to just communicate some idea that he would otherwise not know how to type at all.

"i pushed da bisikel off da ruf"

Yes, OO is about message passing. Erlang places a lot of emphasis on this, and in my experience one can use it to build huge systems that are easy to understand and to parallelize.
