I just got back from a great week in Vail snowboarding.

I've been more hurt skiing more than snowboarding. No head injuries, but ~15 years ago I sprained my knee pretty bad snow skiing. When that healed, I switched to snowboarding and haven't skied since.

The most hurt I've been was tearing an ACL wakeboarding. I pretty much retired from going hard on the wakeboard since it beat me up more than any other sport I've done including fights sports like BJJ.
I prefer native development, but another reason for Flutter’s rise is that Facebook / Meta (creator of React Native) seems to have embraced a philosophy of “move fast and break React Native” which they have a ready excuse for, as it has not ever reached a stable 1.0 release.
I’m often curious as to whether people like yourself would feel the same after actually spending time in jail (much less prison).

I don’t think the evil inherent in robbing someone of their autonomy is warranted outside anything but the most severe crimes.
I'm having issues with loading threads at the moment. So far that's all I've noticed.
Nothing that I know of. Unless you're in the SOC, I doubt they'd tell us what they are doing.
In the case of a thick client app:

> if user A living in France makes a post

The post data would be stored on a server in France.

> a user B living in America comments on it

The user B's thick client app would have to query all servers all over the world that might hold data they're allowed to see, and then render it. It's up to the servers in each country to decide whether the post should be sent to the viewer in question.

When User B comments, their comment would be stored on a server in the US.

For User A to see the comment, like User B, they would need to connect to all servers in all countries to fetch what data they're allowed to see.

Is this cheap and practical? Of course not. But it's possible, just not in the sense we've come to know social media apps.

Haha yeah, I've been following you for a bit! Small world. I think I found you through Adam Elmore maybe? Speaking of positive people... Adam Elmore!

It’s very much a classical story driven RPG so more or less an interactive novel interspersed with moment of movements through pretty illustrations. Still I think it’s very good in how it does exposition through the story (until the church part where the annoying fantasy tropes turn what was an awesome game into merely a very good one).
Now jira is not loading for me, wtf?
Involuntary manslaughter only applies when the killing happened during another crime. So, even if the killing was unintentional, the happenstance was.
IT's worth knowing that this is you typing into a REPL, that when you are actually doign REPL driven development you almost never type directly into the REPL in Clojure.

ALmost all editors I've seen allows you to send code to the REPL from your editor, and get the results in line in your editor.

Typing into the REPL would be bad practice.
Touchè, thanks.

However, the iPhone version is working just fine.
The fact that we work in an industry where 3-5 years is considered senior still boggles me sometimes.
the cm5 was really a unix system. there were a few solaris machines stuffed in to act as front ends (compile and launch jobs).

since I'm here, the lights on the 5 weren't interesting - there was just a controller that ran some standard patterns. the earlier machines had an led
hooked up to each of the 16 core chips and you could indeed tell what was running by the patterns - I don't recall what signal they were wired to, it most likely had something to do with the network (?).

That's a philosophical issue, not a functionality one: something can work reasonably well even if you hate the world that results.

(And I sadly just can't buy the philosophical issue anyway, frankly: if anything, I'd argue the biggest flaw with the web is it has a million nit-picky features when it should ONLY offer JavaScript+canvas, as third parties have a hope of reimplementing that correctly, unlike HTML+CSS. To the extent to which there were important behaviors people liked, such as accessibility, those should come from higher-level frameworks instead of being baked into the lowest level of the system.)
>>I’m often curious as to whether people like yourself would feel the same after actually spending time in jail yourself (much less prison)

I would hate it, but I hardly see how that's relevant. My dislike for the idea of spending a night in jail is not as strong as my dislike for the idea of not being able to call emergency services because some idiot bought an illegal jammer to stop his kids going online. Out of the two I'd rather spend a night in jail than not be able to call an ambulance.
and yet, I still want them to do it, because I think people should have the option of not needing to guess if their car has a new janky update before heading off in the morning.
You can get to a point within a couple of days where you feel comfy falling leaf-ing down most slopes in the mountain. Some terrain, like glades, will always be a bit harder, in my experience, though I'm so comfortable skiing through glades that it might just be a personal thing.

Unless you really devote active learning effort towards it, you could easily remain mediocre at toe-edge and real carving for months. I do both, and I still feel like my skiing is miles ahead of my snowboarding because I've just never gelled with facing up the mountain half the time. YMMV though.
So... separating front-end from back-end in and of itself is not necessarily a problem, but using async to do it adds complexity that is not worth it. Originally, I was hoping that a CRDT or similar mechanisms could be used to smooth out all such problems in a general way (including letting plugins contribute their annotations without causing jank on the main thread), but I discovered that such a collaboration layer cannot hide the underlying explosion in the potential state space.

I have a friend who studied and works in big logistics.

You dont need to shave off 4 hours of 8hrs journey, what most logistics channels need is predictability and at as low cost as possible.

If you can save 1/2 shipping costs of you TVs at cost of 1-2 extra days of transportation, you will pick that option (with exception of perishables).

Thats how the logistics channels work. High predictability ensures you can schedule work, space, and send-off without fuss. That's why rail is the best for the task. So company saves money because solution is cheap and because there are no (or minimal) backlogs due to some failure in transport.

Its the definition of KISS. It works, predictable and cheap.

As Musk said 'Its that simple'. It boggles my mind anyone would be crazy enough to pick hyper-loop as cargo solution - a what 10 years old vaporware with no working anything but CGI.
Samsung support is atrocious. Had a similar issue with my S9 phone where the power button suddenly got jammed and couldn't be released. They sent it back with the exact same reasoning: "Caused by physical damage". Well yeah, I physically press the button to turn the phone on and off, what do you expect. I don't understand how they are still so popular when they never help you with anything.
This is something people seem hesitant to realize: that after a certain point you can only grow your career by "managing" other people. This is true in a lot of (most?) fields.

At some point you cannot become more productive as an individual and you need to start coordinating the work of many people if you want to increase your productivity.

This can of course take many forms, but the essence is inescapable.
Yes, this was pre-Win7

What has changed is that most of the drivers are self-updating, so they can configure that at the factory. So, yes, the basic configuration has gotten better.

What has not changed is that Dell basically does grab-bag components in their systems and just because you have two machines of the same model# and rev#, does NOT mean that you have the same two machines.

This means that Dell has substandard abilities to 1) control their supply chain, 2) track and fix problems, 3) diagnose problems in the field, 4) prevent problems.

But sure, because Microsoft is now doing a far better job of auto-configuration in it's OS products, the setup problem is mitigated.

I avoid Dell like the plague, and advise everyone else to do the same. Sure, you may know someone who got away with it for a long time — there's usually some good items in a grab-bag — but the systemic reliability is just not there.
I will hand it to Apple and Amazon. I've had a few lost packages with Amazon and in every case it was a no questions asked exchange or return, like I'm pissed that the package got lost but it's hard to stay mad when Amazon responds that way.

Not sure how Genius Bar support has evolved but I remember my little brother got an original iPad when it came out. Well kid took it to school, and someone kicked his backpack with the iPad inside and the screen got smashed. We took it to Apple and I remember the rep saying something along the lines of "we understand this was your fault, but we'll replace it anyways". Apple clearly is thinking about the long game, the price to replace an iPad pales in comparison to what that customer will spend on your products if you treat them right.
I spent hundreds of hours as a park rat on a tiny hill in Wisconsin when I was a teenager. Sometimes I regret not using that time to be more productive and work on my future. On the other hand, it makes me happy to strap into a snowboard for the first time in over 2 years and still be in the 95th percentile on the slope after a few warm up runs.

All that being said, I’d learn to ski instead. Snowboarding is a ton of fun in the park if you have the time and money to invest into it, but you can’t be hucking 30 footers into your 40s in good conscience when people depend on you to be healthy. I concussed myself so many times when I was 17 on hard falls, just completely out of it sitting on the hill. It’s a very dangerous sport. Probably as dangerous as football in terms of TBI risk.

If you’re only going to be able to get out a few weekends a year, skiing has better returns.
Somewhat related, the peloton app is also down, how frustrating
I understand why most people use Twitter, but I never could identify with it. Back around ~2017 I made an account, but my preconceptions of the platform were immediately reinforced. Even if I followed people I thought I'd be interested in, Twitter just doesn't seem to be conducive to the kind of material I appreciate, as opposed to the digital finger pointing and one liners.

Shortly after I made that account, I decided to do an experiment to see how quickly I could gather followers, even though I had next to no tweets. All I did was click through random accounts and followed them. Surprisingly, many of them followed me back. It only took me a few days of clicking around to get a few hundred followers. If I had kept it up, could I have amassed thousands?

I stopped that experiment quickly because I didn't really care. It told me everything I needed to know, and I had no motivation to go back.

Its continued relevance is a bit depressing, IMO. It's hard for me to imagine that the average person actually gets more out of it than they put in, despite how clearly it can be beneficial for certain individuals and circumstances (as can be said of nearly anything). Overall, my impression of Twitter is that it is largely composed of negativity and snark, and the way it works seems to create more collectivism and mass social illness. If Twitter went belly-up, maybe I'd be kind of happy about it?
Extremists? It was found in court that he in fact, did nothing wrong.
What's the weakness to React Native?

From my experience anything you could have done natively you can bridge to RN.

So either create a native app if you have resources, otherwise, create a RN app and use either custom or community extensions.

That's the beauty of the flexibility and extensibility of React.

React Native Web works so well I use it as my main for even web-only projects.

You basically get a mobile and desktop site for free with your app. Or native apps for free, whichever way you look at it.
The father IS NOT facing jail time for "keeping his kids offline at night." He's facing jail time for preventing others in a nearby town from accessing the internet. It doesn't appear that was the father's intent, but that's what he did.

> Could someone explain to me how this should work?

I think the general idea is that Facebook and co. will need to spend their lobbying influence and dollars on getting FISA and the CLOUD act changed to allow them to make the necessary privacy and integrity guarantees for the European user data. And/or for the US to make those changes to get or keep the same kind of market access.

The former is unlikely at best and the latter would require the kind of "giving in" that the US gov does not like to do. I think continual can kicking or eventual EU capitulation is more likely.
Agreed. I was thinking that we must have completely missed something (working with flutter right now) to not be aware of those bugs, but looking at them they are minor and have a solution in the issue threads. These are in no way blockers for getting apps done that users can like.
They are generally motivated by the stern, unforgiving managers above them dangling an implicit "I can get anyone to do your job" air of death type of attitude. Management meetings are rarely pretty, and most of the corporate fluff heaped on the rank and file is just not a thing there. I feel sorry for middle managers.
It's the only place my friends stuck around after they all left Livejournal. I fucking hate it but it's where I gotta go to talk to them now. I guess there's also Facebook but (a) I know everyone via their pseudonyms and (b) it's Facebook and fuck Facebook.

A while back I made it a lot better by running a script that turned off retweets for everyone I followed at the time. New people I follow are on Retweet Probation and it's always kind of amusing when I decide to turn off someone's retweets because they're mostly sharing stuff designed to create outrage and I see next to nothing from them any more.

I miss Livejournal.
Ironically, this "Ask HN" post isn't much different than the kind of rant thread one sees on Twitter all the time, including the comments from people piling in to agree with the rant.

There's nothing particularly constructive, no suggestion for "fixing" the problems you articulate, it's a human being—you— talking about their perfectly valid feelings—that Twitter is a waste of focus.

If you can understand why you feel it's valuable to post this rant on HN and have a conversation in public with those who choose to reply to it, you can understand why people post rants on Twitter.

p.s. If HN was nothing except these Ask HN posts, it would be Twitter. What makes it HN is that this kind of post is infrequent.

p.p.s. I don't object to this post on HN or the value of having a conversation about what makes another social media site good/bad/meh.
Do they walk the walk for everyone though? I find that the stuff that's out of view and only affects a small percentage seem to exist almost everywhere.
> There is a hunger out there for authentic positivity

I think you nailed it with that.

One of the things I'm fond of saying is "being excited is underrated." If you're actually excited about something you're working on, or something cool that someone else is doing, be excited! I think lots of people try to hard to be "cool" instead of potentially letting themselves look silly by being excited. (Also this goes well beyond Twitter, into real life.)
Statisticians are not going to win a game. They may win more than the average but then, when everyone is a good statistician, the mean changes and money leads again.
Fair point. One important difference is that my social needs can be met on my own, while others want to force me into an unpreferred situation to fulfill their own needs.

There's a difference between "just let me work the way I want" and "just make them work the way I want".

Ideally, those who want to work from an office could, while others on the same team could work from home, and everyone would be considerate enough to make it work. This is working well enough at my current company.
The idea was to being able to quickly scan articles adding preview and description, but yes it inevitably takes up more space. I will take a look at the cut off text, thank you!

I've run an account for an old job I had (promoting a bar), but beyond that I haven't really interacted with twitter, ever. Everything I hear of it is negative. (Note: I only know what happens on twitter from people on podcasts talking about what happens on twitter. So it's possibly not an accurate reflection of the platform.)

I've seen people that I respect appear to lose their sanity from things being said on it. An example is Sam Harris, who is of course a brilliant author and neuroscientist.

He's gone from a person I respected a lot for his thoughts on atheism and spirituality to being a person who I've heard dedicate hours of podcasts to basically complaining about what people say on twitter. As an adult, it's almost shocking to hear someone intelligent revert to anguishing about the same things misguided teenagers might concern themselves with.

He's not the only one. It appears famous people who use twitter end up using it as a scope into what they might perceive the real world to be like. However, what seems to be the discourse on twitter has no relation to the discourse in my neighborhood (in Western North Carolina) or my previous neighborhood (East Village, NYC).

So no, OP, you're not the only one baffled. I'm extremely baffled.

It's a little more nuanced than "they weren't able to defend their Eastern border". They had to balance between:

- Too little force, which would allow the separatists to de-facto control the territories and lead to a Crimea situation.

- Too much force, which would lead to a Russia invasion triggered by either: Russians dying in Ukraine (since some Russian soldiers were in the region "on vacation") or conflict on the Ukrainian-Russian border (either accidental, or false flag).

I'm just trying to figure out what Ukraine can do aside from let itself get gobbled up. Holding its ground while the economic sanctions/protracted warfare eats into Russian morale might work, or it might take too long. Not sure what else will work though.
This is my take. Less than 100 followers, been a user since 2008, and have 998 tweets.

I'm a news junkie Twitter is my main source of current events/news. I mostly follow journalists from outlets I consider trustworthy, subject matter experts in areas of interest, and comedians who I find funny on podcasts.

If you honestly believe that the workers in a factory under Stalin could decide how much of a good they wanted to produce, or decide if they wanted to increase automation, or even decide if they were allowed to go to the toilet, then you really don't understand how the USSR worked.

The Soviets (factory committees) at best held some sway during the early days of the revolution, before Lenin seized power. By the time Stalin replaced Lenin they were long since just a propaganda tool, hollowed out of any democratic control whatsoever and turned to a simple bureaucratic management unit entirely controlled by the party hierarchy.

So change careers. I spent the first 6 years of my working life as a medical microbiologist, and was miserable for almost all of it. Then I gradually got into programming, and things looked up. I was still miserable for some bits of it though - such is the nature of things.
I would have guessed that this would be the case, absolutely. It's not like the cloud makes everything better for e waste; for my home use SSDs are a giant pain because I need to monitor them for wear and replace them and etc etc , but it's so easy to let a cloud provider do it that I'm sure there are businesses cheerfully burning through SSDs who wouldn't be using them for on prem. But overall, for environmental analysis that isn't ideologically committed to going back to rocks and sticks, you have to balance what you get for the impact of a thing--and data centers squeeze a lot out of their stuff.
Also, work is not a contest, or a competition.

The trick is to not follow accounts that talk about politics and to ignore people when their opinions are not based on their expertise. Also ignore accounts that are too sure about their own opinions.
It sounds like they were very upfront with you about what the job would entail. How is that lying? And the reality at a large company is that many people spend a lot of time coordinating, sharing information, gathering requirements, etc. even if their nominal job is market research or whatever.
