Cool project, hopefully it turns out well! I really liked the speed of it.
Unfortunately lower indoor temperature leads to excess mortality as stated in UK report - https://www.ons.gov.uk/releases/excesswintermortalityinengla...
The sightings are military classified aircraft, explaining why they appear during trainings. The govt would rather have you believe they are UFOs than the public suspecting where tax dollars are being funneled, and enemies being weary.
A lot of this is very US specific. Large amounts of credit for cheap with little due diligence is not a thing in Europe. The banks in my country do not even offer home equity loans.

On the other hand your emergency fund needs to be a lot smaller, because of social support provided by the society. If you are unemployed and break a leg, you aren't going to need to pay a $20,000 hospital bill.
A good way to find mentors when you are a student is to join a developer communities.

Here are some ways:

1. Join local Meetups: There's no substitute for offline communication.

2. Join Online community on Slack/Discord/IRC etc: Pick your favorite tool(programming language, framework, libraries etc) and get involved on Github, StackOverflow.

Also, you need to balance the relationship. How do you add value to their life is something to ponder about.
I do this, and also I ensure I make my bed every day.

I think that tidying up/cleaning is one of those minor and easy things to do that give almost instant positive feedback and is easy to achieve.

Hi heyyeah. It sounds interesting. I am now in Bordeaux and looking for software job or freelance missions in energy/environement sectors. Can we talk? My email is on my profile.
Valiant effort and impressive personal project!

> I'm currently working on the missing pieces, like multi cursor support(in master but not released yet), mouse support, sane default key bindings(probably I'll stick to an existing editor), basic UX etc.

Website claims "Native GUI" but this is not native GUI. I'd rather have basic UX before multi cursor or anything else nice to have but totally optional things. On Windows open dialog is broken, you can't select drives, you have to enter the drive letter manually, but in input field delete key is not working. That's as far as I got trying it out.
Not yet, I think. And it won't save you without the appropriate public civil defense infrastructure anyway.
Thanks :-) Yes exactly. I personally enjoy tools that focus on simplicity and don't chase every trend and feature, so that's what I'm trying to do with Fugu, too.
I've had some people who I would describe as 'mentors' in retrospective, but they were just people I met who were a few years ahead of me in their career/life and were patient with me and helped me and were always up to talk.

These people exist, no need to be cynical about it.
But that's not creativity. There's no virtually unlimited variety of types of spiderwebs and there is no virtually unlimited variety of types of damns a beavers build. If there were, we'd know. Yet, all we ever see is pretty much always the same.

While it's impossible to be creative without creating, it's perfectly possible to create without being creative. We call that "copying".

In case of spiders and beavers, they simply have the necessary originals/blueprints "built in".
Over time, I've come to believe discussions around "Technical Debt" do not sufficiently examine the nature of the risk of the underlying challenge. The framing also skews and pigeonholes the responsibility part of addressing things.

I've tried to articulate this (a bit tongue-in-cheek) here: https://www.evalapply.org/posts/software-debt/

In short, I feel a re-scoping in terms of "Software Debt" is warranted. And a re-casting of the risk of this debt in terms of the rocket equation, and opaque financial derivatives of the kind made infamous in 2007/08.

No specific horror story. Just the fact that as a young employee in the tech industry I had no idea that ISOs trick you into thinking that they are something even distantly related to a regulated system of financial instruments.

When in fact it's just a cover for "the CEO does whatever he wants" and your stock is pretty much arbitrary and has no guarantees whatsoever. Dilution (the biggest scam of all), valuation, down rounds, lock-up periods, etc. You go in (young) thinking that the appearance of financial instruments means they have some protection, but they don't.

In fact, I sometimes think that this should be more heavily regulated, and why does the IRS/SEC bother to oversee some aspects of this but let the other aspects completely blow in the wind. But maybe that's just how this industry is, and no policymaker will care enough for this concerns of this specialized (and yes, fortunate and high-paid anyway) workforce.

But at least go in with eyes open and informed.
It seems like there are a lot more paywall-type posts around here these days. It may just be my opinion but I started using Hacker News because the atmosphere felt less stifling than "traditional" outlets and sites. I wonder how they will keep up their underground persona if most of the posts end up pointing to regular news sites anyway.
If my bank is having trouble (by far the largest in my country) I'm beyond fucked and I don't think it will matter much how much of my paid-in-advance funds they can take.

It's sort of like worrying about how living in an apartment building I will probably be incinerated by a nuclear blast hitting my city whereas I could live long enough to witness the end all life if I had a house a few suburbs out. If nuke hits Melbourne it's all over red rover, if Commbank goes tits up it's basically the same thing from a finance POV.
It's a broader pattern where they pattern match words without understanding. Like assuming Patriarch Kirill is some kind of fatherly pope-like figure just because of the title and distinguished beard, when in reality he's an ex-kgb agent who made his fortune as a cigarette smuggling gangster.

I don't think it's about "the narrative" though. I've generally seen these polls used by people who self-identity as against the narrative. These polls are usually posted in the comments section to rebut articles arguing (correctly) not all Russians support the war.
The value of IntelliJ (in my opinion) is the deep semantic processing of the language you are using to provide useful information/refactoring/linting capabilities. It blows the equivalent LSP stuff out of the water (or at least it did last time I tried it with Kotlin).

As an editor, I really hate it coming from vim. Even with vim mode, it sits in the uncanny valley for me. It's pretty close to vim, I'd say 95% of the stuff works as I'd expect, but the last 5% is jarring. My biggest annoyances are:

* The undo behavior is insane, I'm constantly double-tapping u, because undo brings your cursor back to your last edit, but doesn't undo it. Unless your cursor is already where it should be, then it will undo. So it's uu then ctrl+r (sometimes).

* They don't have vim tabs (I don't think any modern IDE does). I'm constantly closing and reopening splits, it drives me crazy.

* There's no toggle fold, gotta explicitly unfold/fold. That muscle memory is stuck with me now, even in vim which makes me sad.

* Moving between the different panels is not the same as moving between different splits. You need to memorize the hotkey for each panel and then the hotkey to get back to the code, it feels extremely unnatural. The vim hotkeys are hit or miss in the different panels as well.

Despite all that, I still used it when I was working on a Kotlin codebase. I wish it was possible to extract their language processing stack and use it in vim to have the best of both worlds.
For me it is desirable to shut up someone yelling in my face so I could listen quality information. Down-ranking the sites should not be considered as censorship you can still find your BS if you scroll down enough. Down-ranking is a way to improve search quality.

Maybe DDG this way violates the absolute freedom of speech but at least it is fighting for my freedom to hear and listen.
It is refreshing to see a new code editor, even with minimal set of features that feels fresh and fast. Thanks for putting it out there. Please please please keep that responsive experience and don't trade it off for a full set of features that will make this tool lose its charm and become just the same as the rest of the powerful tools.
This is one of major faults with C++; the simpler, more elegant syntax is unsafe-by-default due to backwards compatibility.

China is a dictatorship and any Chinese student can be put under pressure with their families at home. That said, the vast majority don't study in foreign countries to spy for the CCP. But obviously with this leverage there is a limit on what you can say in public. Especially since a lot of platforms decided that there have to be consequences for speech. Those demanding it most strongly just tend not to be the brightest stars in the night sky because that in turn has the consequence of vastly empowering repressive tactics so that people take more care of what they say.

> I will preface this by saying I have immense respect for anyone who open-sources their work. I think the web as we know it today would not exist without such kind and hard-working individuals.

That itself is part of the problem.

I do also appreciate all the great FOSS ecosystems that I'm using. Who knows where we would be without them.

But open source software is not about some kind, selfless altruist who hacks away for free for the benefit of others. It's about publishing the source code with some attached rights and obligations for programs or libraries that have been developed to scratch an itch. Be it personal need, personal interest, learning opportunity or straight up business necessity. You publish to get a community involved to make your software better, be it through bug reports, recommendations for improvement, pull requests, etc. That ultimately benefits the author, and that's the whole point.

It's a misconception that open source software is (or should be) developed for the greater good, to be kind to one another. And by keeping to thank "kind hard working individuals" (which they often times are!), one perpetuates this misconception. It's great if kindness is a component in all of this. But it's not the central point and should not be expected to be. That's what causes threads like this one in the first place, where somebody has to complain about being exploited or getting annoyed with peoples expectations, or their own expectations with themselves, and then others opining about that.

> You painstakingly supported a library for years, got burned out and want to quit? At least try to pass it to another maintainer.

Are you serious? Above you just said that you have immense respect for open source authors. And now you say that somebody can't take it anymore and is burned out and THEN you STILL expect them to put MORE work in, despite being burned out, to pass things on? The source code is available, the license is clear, if there is anybody else who wants to maintain, they can just go and to it. Why do you keep demanding anything from the already-burned-out author that you respect immensely? Honestly, I find that deeply disrespectful.
Is releasing the exploit problematic you think? In a legal sense?
As said by another poster, this data can be used with other information to identify you and potentially breach your security.

There's a nice, and a little bit terrifying, podcast that goes in detail on techniques used to obtain and hack people that are worth hacking. (https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/112/) This episode specifically.
The advice is perfectly on topic because OP's fundamental premise is wrong.
It really is not. The minimum pension in france is 916,78 euros as of 2022.

The minimum wages are 1269 after taxes. And while developer income is far from what it is in “hot” locations (berlin, london) to say nothing of the US, it’s generally way over min wages, by integer multiples.
Sublime got completely destroyed in a single year by...an electron app (VSCODE). Chew on that. While at it I'm going to let you know why: features, open platform, plugins, ecosystem and integration. I've been a Sublime user and now I don't even have it installed any more. They share the same fate with TextMate.
Virtual power plants are smart batteries in homes which in aggregate behave as a power plant, taking energy when it isn't in demand and supplying it when it is. It is a very strong contender for replacing gas power plants for peak load situations.
This is fearmongering.

How much of Europe's natural gas consumption is used as fertilizer feedstock?

Europe has plenty of alternative gas sources from Algeria to Norway, all the way to LNG. The only benefit of Russia was geographic proximity to the baltic and central europe countries and their price point.

The main reason Russia's gas made sense in Europe was the transition of Coal Plants to NG plants (which is itself a mistake in my view). With enough infrastructure investment, and now with the political will behind it, Central Europe and the Baltics can transition to electric heating alternatives and cut-off most domestic gas dependencies.
In a perfect world, you can scale CI indefinitely. However, I don't think it's a simple as that. As mentioned in the post, even with a hermetic build system your CI times become entwined with your dependency graph, no matter if you're able to shard it over remote executors or not.

The block you've quoted specifically mentions gating _merges_. I still think its prudent to run ~all tests after merge, with automatic reverts if tests start failing. I really want to make sure that people think of CI, merges, and deploys as pieces of a larger puzzle and not a monolith.

I updated the language around this in [0], hope that makes it clearer as to my intention.

FYI : wrong, so you can remove that "probably" from your mind.

In France, developers are amongst the most well off salaried people. A junior developper would already be well above the median income and amongst the top 30% earners.
Most of the comments here remind me of the famous Neil Gaiman quote, "George R.R. Martin is not your bitch." [1] But I don't think that's the right framing. People buy the first book because they hope there will be a second, even though they haven't paid for that second book and hence are not entitled to it. People use your open-source project because you said, hey, here's this exciting new thing, try it out, so they assume you'd also want to listen when it doesn't quite work as it should. That's not about a false sense of entitlement or callousness on the part of your users at all. It's also not about freeloading, because a lot of those pull requests and issues on Github will be coming from people who publish their own open-source software. Instead, it's about managing expectations, like the post does. Put a big "this project is not maintained" warning on top, and nobody will bother you. Although I do understand that for larger active projects, it can be hard to explain to users exactly where on the spectrum between "don't bother me" and "I'll fix your problem yesterday" you are, and the bigger a project gets, the more likely you'll be to encounter people who enjoy exploiting your free labor.

There's literally no mention of indoor temperature in that report. All it says is that more people die in winter than summer - that could be due to all sorts of reasons. We know that viruses spread more in winter because people are indoors - that appears to be the main cause of excess winter death.

It's good practice to use sources which back up your claim, rather than just vaguely talk about the same topic.
My emergency fund is set for 12 months. I keep 1/4 in a savings account for a quick access and 3/4 in government retail bonds which in my country (Poland) are inflation adjusted after first year and I’m able to withdraw any time I wish so. The capital is guaranteed no matter when you withdraw and if the withdrawal happens before expiration, 2 PLN are subtracted from interest per each 100 PLN. This obviously assumes that government won’t default but it’s a safe bet in my opinion.
This is actually because the compressor can fail, generating heat and so possibly catching fire.

Wires can also melt.

I've seen far more than my share of appliances-turned-bonfires. Shorted wires, terminals, animal fur. Magnetrons and capacitors running amok. Those are especially fun when the microwave is mounted into wooden cabinets. Dryer belt pulleys freezing up causing friction rubber fires.

The dangers abound, they just are never thought of until it happens.

Now you have the extra fun of ICUs being on backorder 6+months (9/10 failures on all new models are ICU/touchscreen board failures).

I'd really hate to be an appliance technician right now.
> Genetics is still king in life expectancy.

Heard on the Lifespan podcast that recent studies of twins suggest genetics determine about 20% of your longevity, the rest is all environment / diet / lifestyle / stress etc.

I hope that's not been disproven by newer studies that I haven't heard about? Almost all of my grandparents and parents have already died at (much) younger than average age, and I am really hoping the science about this is right otherwise its not looking good for me.
Hm, maybe it has something to do with your location? I'm in Germany and the pricing is in Euros for me.
>> [from the article] Many people view funding open source as a moral or ethical problem at its core: essentially, companies should pay for what they use (if a project accepts payment) because not doing so is exploitation. I sympathise with this perspective, but I believe a more helpful one is of economics and incentives, because we can reason about money more objectively and constructively this way.

I strongly agree with this sentiment. Many (although not all) Open Source authors feel aggrieved when their work is used by a for-profit-company, or when they work becomes a direct source of profit to another company. There's some group of developers who believe charging _consumers_ for Open Source programs is somehow unethical or unfair. There are some who believe and Open Source license forces user to "give something back".

This disconnect between "work" and "pay" is a somewhat foreign concept to (especially Western, and inexperienced) programmers - and so this disconnect, which is specifically built-into OSS licenses feels "wrong".

In this sense writing OSS is not for everyone. Lots of people take a lot of pleasure (and find personal significance) in writing code, and distributing it freely. Others need to be paid for their work, and for them a off-the-shelf OSS license may not be the best model.
For example a source-available model may be a good compromise - where the user has the ability to change and use, but not distribute.

I think though it's generally a good idea for programmers to figure out their goals, and what they need from a project. Then there will be a better license fit for that, and ultimately happier programmers in the bargain.
I don’t see indoor temperatures discussed anywhere in this report, but yeah, excess mortality during the winter is to be expected.

Some people suffering from debilitating conditions may freeze to death in their homes, but those people weren’t capable of safely living by themselves in the first place.

I’ve lived through the winter in an old building that would barely heat above 17C, it wasn’t great, but I certainly wasn’t freezing all day long.

> and ensure that her home is properly insulated.

Netherlands is planning to get rid off gas for a while. I've attended a presentation by the city. They planned to spend 12.500 EUR per house to switch to an local heating plan. Basically a source of hot water will enter the home. This pipe is way bigger than a gas pipe, this is why 12.500 EUR is needed per home.

They mentioned that likely you'll pay the same for heating as before.

I find it bonkers. With 12.500, why not insulate and maybe prepare it for a air/water heat pump. The radiators on really old homes will need to be replaced with ones that work with a low temperature. Walls need to be insulated, windows and window frames likely need replacing. Still, it's way better to be more energy efficient than to spend 12.500 EUR per house (of which 11.500 will be "subsidized") than asking people to change things without actually improving their homes.

The problem doesn't seem to be the money. The problem is that idiotic solutions are suggested. Plus that whatever is subsidized goes up in price. E.g. a air/water heat pump costs way too much.
