> sorry if that’s come across as inflammatory

No worries at all. If everyone shared my opinions I'd go somewhere else (or question my sanity). Also, I'm triggered by unnecessary bloat as well.

> electron absolutely did not standardise UI.

Of course not!

> you have options that would greatly ease pains of this sort, wx, QT, SDL, etc

Yes, but they really need to work on web too, if you have a web app that shares code with the native one. Otherwise you still have two UI stacks.
I was seriously considering flutter, but dart is a small ecosystem and most importantly if Google pulls their support it will almost certainly die.

Web tech isn't perfect, but it's very mature and standardized. Sure, you can bloat your app/page, but if you are just moderately responsible things are very snappy. Today, you don't even have to use JS with wasm. Tauri allows me to use web tech with much lighter weight OS webviews and no Node.

> you’re presuming that users can afford the resources for another multi-gigabyte ram hog

If your crud like app is anywhere near 1GB in ram, there are other issues. Electron adds maybe 200Mb overhead, the rest is the web app itself. App bloat is a separate issue.

Yes but rich people in the US live far longer than the average american. We have to keep that dream alive, the dream that if you just work hard enough and/or buy enough lottery tickets anyone can live a long and healthy life. And access to company-provided healthcare is almost as important to workers as thier wages. Fear of losing healthcare motivates workers to work harder. Take that motivation away and they might quit or demand more money. The stock market cannot afford that sort of hit.
And let me guess, when it comes to the types of work assigned to them they are not treated like the types of completely fungible hourly workers that you would expect from the type of treatment you describe?

Napoleon was not actually short. He was around 169cm which was a little above the average French man of the period.

Oh my, I hope you're feeling OK now. Some of what you're saying rings familiar to me, I've got a German/Swiss cultural background and was in Canada, and do think this background can give difficulties. I also do think that mental health problems are difficult for others to do anything with, so it may have made them nervous and act counter productively. I hope you're finding or have found good therapy. Let me know if you'd like to talk (contact in my profile).
Spamming the first fifteen links from the search results for "Fossil SCM" is of no more value. This is not "how 'relatedness' works on HN", this is just clutter.
Quanta is funded by Jim Simons, so it seems JS himself disagrees with you on the value of academic research.
It is pretty funny how very similar Icke's reptilian fantasies are with the plot of V.

I was scared by V as a child in the 80s. A few years ago watched it with the SO, she loved it. It's hilarious how the entity who looks most like a lizard in the whole thing is our hero, played by Marc Singer.

Interestingly, the plot was based on It Can't Happen Here, "a 1935 dystopian political novel by American author Sinclair Lewis. It describes the rise of a US dictator similar to how Adolf Hitler gained power." "director–producer Kenneth Johnson wrote an adaptation titled Storm Warnings in 1982. The script was presented to NBC for production as a television miniseries, but the NBC executives rejected the initial version, claiming it was too "cerebral" for the average American viewer. To make the script more marketable, the American fascists were recast as man-eating extraterrestrials in order to capitalize on the popularity of franchises such as Star Wars".

> He either needs to get divorced or get off the Court.

And this kind of sentiment is why I'm highly skeptical of this controversy. It reeks of political maneuvering masquerading as more high-minded things.
I'm kinda finding it hard to believe that fixes for "mental health" can be packed in 30 second videos.
To reap benefits of cooperation, there is no need to signal it. It still helps the species survive and thrive, even if the only organism aware of an act of cooperation is the one providing help.
I’m in my early forties. I have bipolar disorder bad enough that I’ve seen the inside of a locked psychiatric unit more than once. (I’m also an ex-FAANG staff engineer with multiple degrees and have helped make things worth many billions of dollars if you need a second label to offset the first).

If mdma hadn’t helped me connect with people and get over my social anxiety, I would have killed myself by now and you simply would not be reading these words.

I am more aware of the costs of drug misuse than 99.98% of the people reading this but, still, I don’t think I’d be alive today without first fixing the problem of being so terribly unable to talk to people.
I remember using git when everyone in my org was still on svn, using git-svn extension. I did not care who used it -- I just wanted lightweight branches with easy rebase/amend. Keeping all the extra checkouts, old copies and .diff files around was getting annoying.

Today, all the VCSs offer more-or-less the same set of features (Fossil being somewhat an exception in that regard). But in the past, there were quite a lot of differences. A lot of arguments for git were very technical.
They invest in things that drive revenue for them. Including Crispr, WHO, farm land, fake meat, vaccines, etc.
A lot of good advice in the comments here. I'd add: when you're talking to someone, or even in front of an audience, eliciting some reaction or response from the other side is a good way to "normalize" the dialogue. It instantly puts you at the same level as the other party.
>On the contrary, Twitter’s users generally seem to believe that Twitter’s moderation is abysmal

If that's the case why would anyone move to a platform that has less moderation?

Twitter is the bottom of the list when it comes to MAU among social networks (FB, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, Snapchat and Reddit all have a higher MAU). Sure Twitter is overrepresented in the tech world, but it's not that captive. There are larger audiences elsewhere. And, to be fair, almost every other platform has a heavier hand when it comes to moderation than Twitter. Twitter still allows porn!

Twitter, is probably the best product you can build when it comes to a text based, real time, social network. If there was a better product people would have moved. When it comes down to it, most complaints come down to "I wish the Twitter moderation rules applied to everyone else but me".
No, it's not your fault.

Socially awkward is just a natural defense system to tell you people around you are really bad.

If you move to a better environment where people don't think too much about you, then you're not socially awkward anymore.
Even symbolically, Job is one dark tale. The distance faith will carry someone is tremendous because they believe that the bad things happening to them happen for a reason. And even if it's a bad reason, there's still the promise of rewards and redemption afterwards.
No. Some of the dance content hooked them but they used not interested to get rid of it.

Am I wrong in ignorant understanding that if some radiation leaked, its' effect would largely be about heating affected body parts, which presumably you'd feel as, you know, heat; as opposed to some magical or teryfing "thing"?

In other words, why is microwave leaking worse than e. G. My oven leaking heat? Is potential small amount of microwave radiation In some specific way worse than feeling the heat when you open the oven after baking? I know radiation is a scary term but what is the real actual scientific documented risk here?

I know some pregnant families paid more money for microwave tests than their microwave costs and it never felt legit but I could be wrong.
That is assuming murders get caught, convicted and sentenced.

"Among the nation's largest cities, Chicago stands out for both its high murder rate and for the number of its murders that go unsolved. In recent years the police have been solving about 4 of every 10 murders in the city, but police data show the rate is even worse when the victim is African American."

I didn’t found TikTok addictive but rather utterly juvenile and amateurishly unsophisticated in recommendation algos. It kept inserting a lot of borderline soft-porn type content which I think keeps younger audience glued more than anything else. I would conclude that it doesn’t take a lot to create recommendation algos to grab attention of below 40 age group.
Yeah, that's wrong: the market is quite obviously limited by the ability to produce temptation, not consumer's finite ability to buy it.

As in: before TikTok, there was lots of TikTop-Temptation to be sold. Demand didn't change, supply did.
I'm no fan of our current healthcare system, but your description of dealing with private insurance is very much at odds with my experience. It has always been very simple and easy for me. (Doctors are a another story)

Yeah, that’s about right, unfortunately. Your average local priest may not wish to (or does not wish to) know about the broader sweep of tradition. So, whatever he believes becomes the version of the tradition you encounter. I say all of this as an Anglican priest, so I’m seriously sorry that’s been your experience. Generally one hopes the Catholics (at least their clergy) are at least a bit more familiar with their own teachings than the evangelical fundamentalists.
I see billboards and bus bench signs encouraging people to chose this or that religious experience. Tv ads for people to pay for this or that religious knickknack. Are they all hate speech? Jesus famously wasn’t a fan.

I was responding in my comment to a previous comment which was correctly describing various parts of the old testament in which their god assails all those other gods, says that you have to worship him first, talks about his wrath and jealousy and the risks if you don’t stick him first. Not to mention the dissing of other tribes, and witches, and other undesirables. All that stuff is a pretty clear marketing message.

There are of course other messages as well, but the original commenter, and my response, referred to the marketing sections.

As for being religious: is there a constraint on who is allowed to read the texts and or interpret them? Are adherents of only certain religions permitted to read them?
I'm the same way and I've had some of the most amazing conversations of my life with Uber drivers!
There you go. It is the same rehashed formula tested on a new generation of billions of people with a different brand attached to it. As you can see in the comments here, they are loving their new digital drugs since Facebook and Twitter appeared. They will soon dislike it and hate it and move to the next hit.

Rinse and repeat.

> Is it because a "thought leader" said it?

Well I said it long ago for the rest of these social networks [0][1][2] even before this person did. So to me, it is once again and unsurprising reaction.

But as always, followers only listen to their master's voice don't they? Listening to their master to feed them their next post, tweet, update and reaction. Like drug addicts, when there are social media addicts, there is always therapy and treatment for this sort of addiction.

Very unhealthy for the mind.

> I personally don't mind it. It's a good reminder that we as individuals are just replaceable cogs in the machine, that all of us are only as valuable as the productivity we can contribute in the future, and that our sense of loyalty to it should be adjusted accordingly.

To the company as a whole, yes. To each other? No, I don't think I believe this. This doesn't mean you owe anything to your teammates in terms of staying in a job if a better opportunity comes or if you aren't happy or treated right, but we're still all human beings seeing each other every day, and if you build a bond with those you work with, it's not any less real just because you only happened to meet due to the coincidence of being hired by the company. I've only been out of college for less than a decade, and I've had some coworkers I did not get along at all with, some who I was indifferent towards, a great many I had casual friendly relationships with, and a select few who are this point are as close to any friends I've met outside work and remained that way after one or both of us moved on from the job where we met. I still don't think I'd be completely emotionally unaffected if someone who I was currently working with in the first two categories happened to die, and I certainly would be if someone I worked with in one of the latter two groups did. It's not at all uncommon to feel grief or numbness when even a casual acquaintance outside of work dies, and the fact that whatever company you work for happens to consider you only a value-generating machine doesn't magically make this go away. Humans are humans even when working together, and I don't think pretending that's not the case is in any way more emotionally healthy than acknowledging it.

The run part: I think they're a young overseas resident who panicked. They returned and handed themselves in to police at the scene.

A lot of younger foreigners have no idea what to do in an accident and in their home economy can face retribution, extortion, sometimes at the hands of police. In Australia, you stay, you help the victim, you report the accident. That's the law. In theory all drivers should know this but you get a year on your homeland licence before having to sit a local road rules exam.

I have nothing to add regarding self driving. Well I do: I think it's been misnamed and oversold.

Does the LSP implementation [1] linked by the JetBrains employee in that thread not work? It pushed a new minor version release a little over a week ago.

It seems pretty reasonable to me for them to not pay employee salaries to build a plugin for a competing product, especially when they already provide a comprehensive IDE solution available for free (in both senses). What other companies are doing that? I don't mean that as a challenge. I'd love to know what the better options are.

Yes. There are very few things I’m certain of, but I’m certain Twitter is a net negative on society. I view Jack as one of the most dangerous humans of the last decade.
I hear these concerns in real life and as per my longer post above, I don't understand the threat model. My oven and stove can also cook meat. It's what they do. What is the actual concern? I feel I have burned myself on ovens and stoves a lot more than I have on microwaves in my life (let alone the risks in popular gas stoves etc). I am genuinely curious what is the delta and differentiating factor making microwaved mystically scary?
Some memories, thoughts on Quicktime. Yes, I had heard it came out of ATG (Apple's Advanced Technology Group). Lots of cool things came out of ATG when it was still around. Initially though Quicktime could barely play wallet-size video but we still thought it was kind of cool.

Peter Hoddie. Now that is a name I haven't heard in a long time. Some of the more ... eccentric engineers I met worked on the Quicktime team, ha ha.

Some of us were of the opinion at the time that one of Quicktime's failings was the lack of codecs that shipped with the OS (Mac's System 7, 8, 9). Mention this around engineers on the QT team and the response was something like, "Codecs are for 3rd parties, Apple is not in the Codec business." Too bad.

There was, perhaps undeserved, a sense that the Quicktime team were a bit haughty, maybe thought they were bigger than Apple. I say this regarding the time when Apple was circling the drain, so they may well have been correct.

But I think Jobs return to Apple must have been another nail in the coffin for Quicktime. NeXT was still his baby and you suspect that Quicktime's not-invented-here status (and, quixotically, "here" in this case means "NeXT") might have meant Jobs had it in for the technology.

Aside: Did Jobs shut down ATG? (I know he shut down Apple's technical library. Given, as I say, Apple circling the drain at the time, shutting down ATG might have seemed an act of financial prudence.)

The NeXt app, Preview, was handed to me when Mac OS X was just getting going: Preview being wholly built upon the image offerings of AppKit (NSImage). Someone though had grafted a bit of Quicktime code that would add a handful of additional image types that AppKit did not support so Preview could also open BMP files, maybe Targa files, etc. It was just a sort of "image pre-processing" though to get the pixels from Quicktime — go straight to NSImage at that point. It looked to me that Quicktime was not going to be a First-Class Citizen in this new Mac OS X.

Quicktime stuck around for quite a while longer though. I vaguely recall that the QT team had the cross-platform code that iTunes would need in order to serve iPod playlists for owners of Windows PC's. Basically Quicktime had something like the old Mac Toolbox (yes, Quickdraw included) that also ran under Windows.

I came to like OS X though. It showed its UNIX pedigree by leaning more on open libraries like JPEGLib, TiffLib, PNGLib and other industry image frameworks. For a while there Apple was not trying to set the tone with proprietary formats (and just now FireWire comes to mind), but rather happy to follow where the "industry" was going. It seems only when Apple had regained a healthy market share again (about a decade later?) would it begin to resume introducing new standards and, in that regard, be more of a leader.

Much too late for Quicktime.

Programs and logical proofs are "isomorphic" according to Curry-Howard. So logical theories like math in general are "programs". Two programs can be "equal" in the sense that same inputs produce the same outputs, yet their source-code can be very different.

Therefore to explain a theory to a layman or anybody consider that your theory is a program, and therefore there can be any number of equal/equivalent but different programs, i.e. representations of that theory that are "equivalent" but have a different representation.

Therefore, and this is the point I'm trying to make, (and maybe I'm wrong) any good explanation of a theory could also be presented in some other way, and possibly in a simpler way. Programmers know this intuitively: You can write the same program in a complicated way or in a much simpler way, sometimes. Therefore the fact that some math is difficult to understand may in fact not be the fault of the student, but of that "math" itself.

And therefore it is useful that people come up with questions about what they find difficult to understand about a given theory. The "stupid" questions reveal something about the theory, they reveal what is difficult about it, what kind of mistakes people make when trying to understand it.
In my experience, you have to search for things you like for a few months to give TikTok the data it needs for recommendations.
