When did I ever argue that something shouldn't exist? I only pointed out a false equivalence in the parent comment.

If you want to know my opinion though, I don't personally get enough value out of facebook, instagram, etc to use them at all. So if you were to ask me if the price of psychological damage to content moderation/review workers is worth it, I'd say no.
Because the assumptions made for one class of payload don't apply to another class of payload with vastly different mission specifications.

A great place to start is this amazing video by The Everyday Astronaut: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbH1ZDImaI8

Notice how the type of fuel used itself is a consideration for the type of rockets we may send to Mars if we're considering In-Situ refueling.
If it's decompiled, then it seems like the decompiled output is a derived work from the binary. And to distribute that derived work on github with a license "Only for educational use" seems like it's infringing. GH should probably take it down.
This is great. Thanks for maintaining this artifact of pre-Web 2.0 days. And who knows, the next hot startup Jubyla may want to buy the domain for millions.
I mean that you need to assign each type a distinct name, and in many programming languages, the namespace for types is effectively global.

If you add say a thousand types for all the things combinations of things you may want to represent, then you've effectively added the need to have a thousand type names.
> One of the most effective engineers I worked with spent her first month here very intentionally taking every single one of her new co-workers out to coffee

I worked with someone who did this (lunch instead of coffee) and was singularly despised by everyone because he was also a deranged, compulsive liar. Not that plying me with food & drink is bad; it's just pointless. Somewhat worse is team-building Mandatory Fun Day foolishness.

It definitely helps to actually talk regularly and communicate about the work that you're doing, in a rational, sensible way. But too many people think, "Oh if I force them to make friends, they'll somehow start agreeing about everything because they're friends!"
The industry standards are meant for businesses coordinating teams and building sites meant to scale to multiple millions of users. No one is putting a gun to your head and making you do any of that for a simple web app.
Second this advice. Some of my favorite classes that I took were electives where the professor was passionate about the subject. I even got an offer to go on an archaeology trip over the summer (which I sadly had to decline as I accepted an engineering internship that summer).
Purses, jewelry, alcohol, clothing - anything of any value is a potential target.
> But I lost access to paid services that I had set up with social login, besides all Google's services ( GCP, firebase, youtube premium, google one, subscriptions paid through play store, google ads, etc, etc).

So you gave Google total control over your entire online presence, tying a bunch of things you depend on into a tight bundle that would all get banned at once. And, by including so many things, you created more opportunities for something you did with one of them to trigger a ban of all of them.

> The google stack is very convenient,

... except when you get totally shut down for no reason. Which is an absolutely predictable consequence.

You have a very strange idea of convenience.

> and it's 2022, I'm not going to start hosting my email server,

This reads to me as "I'm unwilling to take even the most trivial steps to solve the problem".

> But what if I get reported on my domain name? What if that gets suspended or blacklisted too?

That is a risk, but, at least as of today, it's much, much harder to get a domain name shut down than to get something like a Google account shut down.

Nonetheless, you should probably be isolating things that are really important to you under separate domain names unless they NEED to be tied together.

> Do we own our phone numbers, emails, handles, PO boxes, addresses?

The user agreements for most of those will say no. The standard on the Internet right now is "We can cut you off for any reason whatsoever and you have no recourse". It's right there in black and white. And it's been that way forever. Maybe it's wrong. Maybe there should be legal changes. Maybe there should at least be changes in common expectations. But at the moment, that is how it works.

So don't become overdependent on any of them, and don't set up a situation where losing one also loses others. This is pretty basic stuff.
The problem I have with some subscriptions (not all) is that you don’t get to use the app or service if you don’t pay. All your previous payments don’t matter at all. I also hate SaaS subscriptions that put something on the cloud just to turn it into a subscription instead of a standalone application license sale. There are many notorious names that use dark patterns and willfully deceiving marketing. Password managers, analytics and other services that charge by page views, etc., are eye gouging, IMO.

I also believe that subscriptions essentially make the developers a bit more lazier because there would always be a chunk of customers who’d continue paying because they haven’t bothered to cancel a few dollars here and a few dollars there. Compare this to having to entice people to buy an upgrade license, where the value decision in buying or not buying lies with the buyer. Subscriptions tend to invert the power equation in favor of sellers for little benefit to the buyers (I’m not saying all subscriptions are like this). This is what makes people hate them, because they know intuitively that they’re being scammed.

Since AWK is DSL for text processing it can be (and usually is) much more elegant and efficient for (surprise!) text processing tasks, than general purpose languages like Python.

Not long ago I was really fascinated by this example I came across: https://pmitev.github.io/to-awk-or-not/Python_vs_awk/.
> The other explanation, is that they actually believed what they said, which would mean they were completely insane.

It's not that insane? Like, how hard is it to clone some substantial, but lesser known, project and edit the committer to yourself? Edit the name too to something that you buy a domain for. It wouldn't hold in court, but a hiring manager in a rush won't ever be able to figure out if you did that or not.
The alternative is security inspectors physically destroy baggage or we allow any and everything to be checked in to the cargo hold.
I think the focus on the ultra-rich misses the point a bit. My family had enough money that I have a safety net - I know if I royally messed up I'd still have a roof over my head. I think once I borrowed $6k from my dad and paid it back in a year. You don't need to be jealous of the super rich, "small $1m loan from my dad" folks, just knowing someones got your back vastly improves your ability to take on risk.

To be more explicit - a lot of these comments are complaining that they aren't born super rich, but it's not about capital, it's about ability to take on risk.
> If I take a kitchen knife and stab someone with it I will go to prison for sure, but I don't think they will take the knife away. They definitely won't ban me from buying knives.

This is true. Generally if you stab someone the police would seize the knife as evidence, but after your trial if the prosecution didn't file a forfeiture case against the knife, then it is still yours and you can get an order from the judge to return it :)

p.s. civil forfeiture cases give the best names, e.g. United States v. Article Consisting of 50,000 Cardboard Boxes More or Less, Each Containing One Pair of Clacker Balls, 413 F. Supp. 1281 (D. Wisc. 1976)

I wonder if the delay is intentional so users start paying and want to finish. If they saw ads, they may immediately leave. Also ads can slow down a website load times so the delay may be for SEO.

One trick for us is to minimize streaming platforms. We keep HBO for Sesame Street and periodically sign up for other services when there is something specific we want to watch but we always cancel immediately so we are only ever paying for a month at a time.

In theory we’ll notice it expire if there’s something we want to keep watching but it never happens.
I for one 'knew' this but had forgotten, as is so easy with this kind of trivia. These little pro tips are a big part of what keep me coming back to the site, and there's always someone who didn't know.

Tossing in a second datapoint in favor of adding some barefoot running to one's training plan.

I started running with classmates without learning proper form and had joint pain in knees and hips within the first 5 km. It never felt good and I never got faster.

I started practicing barefoot a couple times a week to work on form. After the first few (painful) lessons I managed to improve my form and I could run faster and for longer distances.

Eventually I realized I enjoyed the barefoot training sessions more than running in shoes and I (slowly) switched all my runs to barefoot shoes and sandals, though that may not be the right approach for everyone. I've done a few marathons since then and now my bottleneck seems to be free time -- I'd love to try a 50k but those longer runs eat up so much more time.
Reader mode: don't use browsers without it.
I am not a mechanical engineer, but my general understanding is even mammals cannot be scaled up arbitrarily. I've read that elephants are more or less the maximal size of land-based mammals because of heat transport. The surface is not large enough to transport all the heat away from the body. I could imagine that similar effects limit mechanical designs.
Firearms are required to be locked with a non-TSA lock.

Because of this, it’s a fairly regular thing for photographers to travel with a firearm. Under US law, a “firearm” includes the bare frame for a firearm, so that can be as simple as an inert piece of metal. Doing so means that you can put all your camera gear in a Pelican case, toss in a tiny piece of metal, then lock the case with a key that only you have.
A three-day weekend is optimal. It would be nice if public schools will also switch to that mode, so families can make 3-day vacation trips together.

It's scary how two different people can have such similar backgrounds (minus the lesbian part, that's playing the rural dating game on hard mode for sure). For me I just kept living like a college student and saved most of my paycheck until the adult part of me was able to convince my inner child we were, in fact, safe.

Feeling safe let me leave bad employers in the past. Thankfully my current one is pretty awesome.
I agree. Capitalism itself doesn't do anything; people working in a context tend to value what that context values. Capitalism drives efficient use of capital.

Another context for SpaceX is the Moonshot - the big transformational project. In a Moonshot, everyone has to do more work than their job requires. This is called glue work and normally you should limit what glue work you do because you may not be rewarded for it. People working at SpaceX seem to believe in the mission and that is a reward in itself, which leads people to be motivated to bridge all those little gaps that form between job roles.

I'd love to hear what other contexts people use to think about this.
>Why is it in general required, to design a new, more heavy rocket - and not "just scale" up an existing design?

I'm not a rocket designer, just someone who has really enjoyed following it for a long time. Someone in the industry could give more specifics, but the basics are straight forward. Everything about a specific rocket is tightly coupled, from material factors to engines and everything that goes into that. To take an obvious one, how do you drive the bigger rocket? If you choose bigger engines, then you need entire new engines (and there are scaling issues there too). If you choose to use more smaller engines, you need brand new plumbing to feed all those engines (a very complex thing itself, last I checked each Raptor engine consumers nearly 800 kilograms of fuel PER SECOND), you need to deal with harmonics and control of more engines, different fluid mechanics, etc. Even merely construction changes with scale. For example scaling up carbon fiber to huge sizes is incredibly hard and expensive, one of a number of reasons SpaceX dropped it in favor of steel instead. Rocket volume obviously scales with the cube compared to surface area with the square of size, material properties change with thickness of various walls, and on and on. All of this also impacts aerodynamics, center of gravity and a host of other things.

So yeah! Knowledge and expertise from existing rocket designs is absolutely very useful in designing a new one, Starship directly comes out of a ton of things SpaceX learned from F9, which itself took important lessons from F1 (and "F9" is a much bigger range much faster then typical rockets, from version 1.0 to Full Thrust Block 5, the current one, they changed more and gained more power then entire new rockets sometimes have). A much bigger Starship v2 may take much more from v1 then typical because they now do have something with more scaling potential (steel construction in particular). And a lot of the software no doubt will be directly evolved, Starship landing of course used F9 landing software and hardware lessons. But still, cannot just "scale up", even without things like completely changing fuel.

Edit: In reply, jmyeet points out that I glossed over the manufacturing bit too much as well. There is a huge amount of expertise and institutional knowledge in going from a general design of any big complex machine to actually manufacturing it in a reliable fashion. People and the machines that make the machines and all the processes that go into that is a whole 'nother ball of wax. Can find plenty of stories on HN and elsewhere about merely duplicating "the same thing", like trying to manufacture an aircraft in a different factory. Or the level of work in "simply" copying a fab and the lengths that are gone to in order to try to make sure everything is exactly the same.

Sort of. Many teams in FAANG put their devs on rotations that aren't full on-call like SRE (and some managers put their devs into full SRE rotations without mentioning there is a bonus). I always check with my future managers that they don't plan to do this.

Measures for more diversity in computer science
then your appetite for risks grows

Sigh.

No, it's not an appetite for risk. It's that those risks get less risky.

People become more "risk tolerant" when those risks are less of a threat to them, their survival, their future, etc.

That's a little like saying "Rich people eat at more expensive restaurants than poor people because they have the appetite for it." No, they don't. They have the same appetite as a poor person. They just have more ability to pay for the better restaurant.

Duh.
SimilarWeb says 342K monthly visitors. Always curious how accurate these tools are.
Google doesn't get social engineered into handing over user accounts since maybe a few hundred people have any access to the Google Accounts system proper, less so for the gmail.com organization (Workspace Support can help with recovering an Admin account in an org). Introducing a way to retrieve an account via human intervention makes the chance of someone taking over a Google account via malicious social engineering, incl. faking national ID cards, non-zero. In fact, i'm sure tons of people have been able to take over accounts using account recovery[0] where it'll ask you things like "when did you create this account" and "what was the phone number you put on the account".

I'd like to give a practical argument as to why the term matters beyond attribution: There's several incompatible userspaces for Linux.

GNU/Linux refers to the userspace used by most distributions, and anything compatible with it. It supports most of POSIX and implements a plethora of extensions on top of that, making it a unique and distinctive platform. There's several projects that add a significant amount of things to the GNU/Linux ecosystem that aren't GNU and are essentially grandfathered in, but it still remains the same ecosystem.

Compare this to Android (which doesn't even mention Linux in the name of the platform!) or musl/busybox-based platforms, or the (now defunct) GNU/kFreeBSD platform. All of them either don't try to be compatible at all, or only implement "just enough" compatibility with the GNU ecosystem to run most things that use its features, depending on their needs. It's useful to distinguish this.

Before someone says "but YouTube/Google is an independent company and can deplatform whoever they want", consider this:

That is amazing since VIN's are often visible from the outside. This is just so open to abuse, especially if it was a casual to lookup as you make it seem (no verification that you were the owner and for just a lark).

Ha, no, you're right. Don't remember were i first heard it, but looking for the sources now, it seems that small farms are more productive in poor countries, but less productive than industrial farms in developed nations. However, the source i found for that [0] doesn't mention what techniques are used, and seems to only focus on size.
So now i'm curious if there is reliable data looking at differences in yield between farming techniques? (e.g. industrial/chemical vs organic vs permaculture)

"Since the pandemic began, Americans’ happiness has cratered"

As if this isn't mostly because of the disruption to normal life caused by the pandemic?

To me, there is this small group of very loud social media addicts/writers that would be perfectly happy for this pandemic experience to go on forever since it always provides content to write/post about while basically everyone I know in person is utterly burnt out on the whole experience.
No I think we are on the same page. I'm just assuming these are "excessively frugal" type people. Agree 100% that money only matters to a point. I've traveled to many places, and had a few "luxury" type experiences and I'm certain that the juice isn't worth the squeeze for that type of stuff.

I would say the main two goals would be to: have enough money to work when/on what you want (this could be like 500k), and the long term goal is have enough money to make a bigger impact on a community or even the world (prob like 10 mil - 1 bil).
Google being a notable exception. I wonder if anyone has tried that there.
Wait, so because other people aren't accommodated, we also shouldn't accommodate gender non-conforming people?

Having a separate first-last name is often brought up as a UX failure for exactly this reason, and UX designers often design websites so that colourblindness doesn't hamper usability (in my experience working with designers at big companies). The Christmas one isn't as much of an issue because AFAIK very few people are meaningfully put out by seeing Christmas decorations on websites from majority-Christian countries. In other countries these things often /are/ turned off depending on cultural sensitivities.

We should be trying to design our processes to fit the world around us, not rejecting the parts of the world we don't like.
I don't think you understand the concept of free speech. It allows you the right to express your opinion without fear of government oppression. It does not allow you to yell your opinion through a megaphone, in front of my house, at all hours of day and night.
This is already the case. I mean you can't hide your cash by buying houses or yachts or shares in a company. So crypto is no different - it's an asset owned by you.

If the courts don't know about the crypto that's another thing, but that's just the same as moving your money into an offshore account and not telling anyone. It's physically possible, but isn't legal as a way to get out of paying what you owe.
