Extension methods? Aliases? Countless more features that are designed to make your code hard to read & understand.

Build scripts are generally written once and executed hundreds or thousands of times. It makes far more sense to optimize their performance rather than ease of writing.

Universal Paperclips is one of those true gems and in my opinion one of the standout examples within the incremental genre of what a game can really be. also good incrementals: a dark room, SPACEPLAN, kittens game, and trimps. with the exception of SPACEPLAN, all of these games have always been greatly enjoyable despite feeling like the worst type of work that one could be doing. i find it odd that I'm willing to do that sort of resource allocation and microoptimization thing almost endlessly for free, but the idea of doing it in meatspace for pay seems almost intolerable.
I find emulators to be one of the most impressive feats of software engineering out there.

You've demonstrated that you've fallen for the popular misconception of Malthusian theory. It's not that food is "depleted at the margin" as in people starve until death rates go up. What actually happens at the margin is, lacking in sufficient resources to comfortably do so, people forego having kids. Perhaps, in olden times, lacking the prosperity to get the fathers permission in marriage.
His video showing one of his "supercomputers" is 20 PCs that look like they are old Dell computers a highschool was getting rid of. Maybe if he said 2009 it would be plausible, but this is late 2013 and btc mining was already well established and dominated by the Chinese asic manufacturers. Why waste time trying to mine Bitcoin with gpus?
There is no chance that this guy could have an entire 10-20% of the hashrate himself with only $1m. Even if you bought or developed Asics you would have to mine for nearly a year to break even, much less 20x your investment. Also, why would this business that gave him $1m to do this allow him to keep all of the Bitcoin? Nothing about his story adds up.
It doesn't have to be obtained from your organization if it is an embarrassment to the company or its partners. It would be like an NSA Employee tweeting about Snowden.
#4 is t correct, or rather it’s helpful but in a counter intuitive way. On its face, it’s very hard to exercise away a donut, but daily exercise causes your metabolism to pickup and you burn more calories for the rest of the day. Additionally, the more muscle you have the more your body will burn calories, so for weight loss it’s best to start with strength training (and not bullshit “toning” exercises) and then move into cardio.

> How awful to be "trapped" by having several hundred restaurants to choose from.

I don't eat out - me and my family cook our own food. It's cheaper and you know what you're eating. We also enjoy eating at home as a family, and having conversation as a family without umpteen other families or singletons/couples either overhearing or participating in their own conversations at the same time.

> I'm so depressed by having a dozen museums, dozens of coffee shops, libraries, parks, and hundreds of entertainment options within a 15-minute walk of my house. So awful.

Blinkered vision and sarcasm. Also, very selfishly subjective. Not everyone is like you. Not everyone wants to visit museums (I despise museums), go to coffee shops (see above), I don't visit even my local library. Sometimes it's suggested we go to some $entertainment_option and sometimes I'd like that but mostly having to mix with other people brings me out in hives - not due to being anti-social, but due to liking my peace and quiet (I don't like crowds).

I'm in Scotland and prefer open spaces and spectacular mountain ranges to little artificial-landscape parks where the pod-dwellers walk to pretend they're in some kind of open and "green" space which is actually located in the middle of their dystopian metropolis.

See, this is the problem with all the people who are proposing living in the pod in some metropolis somewhere - they're talking about their personal preference for such and haven't even considered either geographical location (which country outside of the USA, which part of said country, and so on) nor what _other people_ like to do, eat, or live with, or any number of additional factors. Everyone who is advocating/proselytising for the metro pod-life, needs to think outside of their particular box. Or pod.

There is a chapter in the excellent book "Why Flip a Coin" dedicated to exploring voting alternatives. The main point of the chapter is that given three intuitively obvious requirements (like adding a 3rd candidate should not change the relative order of the first two) - it can be mathematically proven that NO voting scheme will satisfy them.

> FWIW the FCC nominally levies a fine of up to $10,000 per caller ID spoofing incident:

But they could just prevent it entirely by giving us the originator info. The process is basically like this:

Alice calls Bob.

Phone system says "Alice, who do you want to tell Bob you are?"

Alice says "Bob!"

Phone system says "OK!" and bills Alice because they know who Alice is.

Bob gets a call from Alice but displays as Bob because Alice requested to display as Bob.

Bob goes "Wtf?"

Bob reports it to the FCC but he can only report getting a call/text from his own number.

FCC goes "Ooh those naughty caller ID spoofers we'll get them good next time! Too bad there's no way to prevent this..."
This deserves a "Ask HN" thread of its own. I will even as why up and down vote user names are hidden from me?

I look a this behavior in myself and wonder why I use all these acronyms. I feel sometimes that if others are not anonymous the extreme responses when you have a new idea or say something wrong are part of the problem. Why expose myself when the people criticizing me do not? So it is kind of a race to the bottom.
I used the vim extension to learn the basics. From my perspective vscode is an ide and it does some cool things. However, vim/neovim is more of a worldview. I'm much faster when I don't touch the mouse. I don't have to slow down how I think. It's upsetting to have to stop typing, moving, etc..and click a button or tab. So I'm more inclined to go faster.

However, it's not a skill developed overnight. It takes time to invest in the tool, but for me the payoff has been significantly increased productivity. I won't ever stop learning new vim skills though. It's both wide and deep. Vim just makes sense to me now, but it took a while to really get it.
Elipse keeps a complete Java representation of the source code in memory, (not the classes) that's why it can find compile errors before saving.
This comes at the cost of lost of RAM, some projects are just too big for eclipse so IntelliJ is your only option.
But that eclipse model can be used for lots of cool tricks, you have access to it in the plugin API, so for example you can enforce coding standards before even saving code.
As a consumer, you can make the choice to not use Google. You can not reasonably avoid dealing with the credit reporting industry.
People are usually looking for a combination of 100% uptime, the ability to configure DNS on your LAN (ssh dhcphostname, and/or pi hole), light virtualization (x86 routers with power consumption similar to a raspberry pi are available), security, etc.

Also, with your TP-Link, your ISP has administrative access to log into your home LAN, and poke around. They might give themselves the right to do so in their TOS, or they might have hired a malicious employee, or suffer a security compromise.
Wonder if Google, Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, etc will be added to this list. While US may consider them national security assets, it is usually the opposite that is true. Like building backdoors into encryption, these services build backdoors into peoples lives. Also note, it usually often only takes one rogue employee with superuser access to compromise a system.
I'd be more worried about these spam texts coming from my number to my own contacts that I have previous conversations with than to myself. E.g. why wouldn't my grandmother click some link I sent to her? (My first thought was that these texts could just be from some malware on the phone itself, possibly with access to the contacts. But if it's actually an externally sourced spoof, that's obviously less dangerous...unless they somehow got my contacts I guess)
4-5 years ago I was all about the editors with pretty UIs (VS Code, Brackets, Atom, JetBrains IDEs, etc). I thought Vim was dumb and outdated. Boy was I wrong.

I eventually decided to try out Emacs, and settled on Spacemacs, which comes with Evil mode pre-installed (a Vim emulation layer on top of Emacs), so I basically had to learn some Vim bindings. Now I'm on Doom, which uses them even more heavily. And boy do I regret not having learned this stuff sooner. So much faster and simpler than jumping through UIs and pointing and clicking.

If you haven't heard of it already, Vim/NeoVim come with a tutorial built-in, called Vimtutor. Definitely run through that for a quick interactive primer on how to effectively use the basics.

Also, the bonus is that Vim is much more lightweight and snappy than VS Code, even on much older and cheaper machines. So you'll feel at home anywhere you run it. The same cannot be said for VS Code.
Isn't that (coverage) something like an insurance?
It is simply easier to ban mercury propellants than it is to ban coal plant mercury emissions. A lot more people are dependent on the coal plants so the time and energy it takes to make changes there is just way bigger. Of course work is being done there as well, it just takes way longer.

Doesn’t matter that it was obtained “independently”.

Doesn’t matter that he didn’t sign an NDA with Okta. Zoom certainly had agreements with Okta that prohibit employees from either company from sharing private information publicly like this. To remain compliant, they can’t continue to employ someone who is publicly violating that (with his handle emblazoned all over the documents, no less)

You can’t expect to work for a company while publicly leaking materials from one of their partners, regardless of how you acquired it.
I can't speak to how prevalent it is in the industry, but something my team has started doing in our web services is building with GraalVM and deploying native images. The build time can be super long, but the benefit is incredibly fast start-up time, which really benefits horizontal scaling. We're using Quarkus (https://quarkus.io), which is largely built on Vertx which was mentioned elsewhere, but other frameworks (Micronaut (https://micronaut.io) comes to mind) make it easy and SpringBoot is also working on support. If your doing containers/kubernetes native images feel like the way to go.
Please shoot me if I ever become this shallow minded or tribalist.
It might be useful for reviewing merge/pull requests. But is there a way to display the diff "interleaved" instead of 2-columns side-by-side? (when executing `GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF=difft git log -p --ext-diff` for example)

> Nothing else seems to come close, they have a Community version, nowadays Eclipse and NetBeans both feel slow

After not using Eclipse for 10 years, I had to use it again last month for a very large existing project. I was pleasantly surprised. It felt faster than IntelliJ.
That's due to a trade-off of requirements, to maximise free and fair representation.

Lack of postal votes makes the ballot less fair and representative, because it affects people with systematic bias in relevant sub-populations (wealth, working conditions, age, health, etc) and areas.

In areas where intimidation can happen... for going to the polling station. (All the intimidator has to do is post menacing guards, soldiers, etc. outside the station or on the routes to it. There are plenty of news reports of this happening in some countries. I'm not aware of this in the UK though.)

So the question is whether you get a more fair and representative vote outcome by allowing postal voting, or by disallowing it.

The balance of trade-offs has led to UK policy allowing postal votes, encouraging each individual to fill out and seal their vote in private, and use statistical and other investigation methods to look for signs of fraud, while maintaining a high standard of secret ballots when voting in person.

That might not be the balance that works best in other countries. In the UK it is said by the Electoral Commission that there is no evidence that postal voting has changed electoral outcomes to date, but some attempts at large scale fraud were discovered and prevented.
> They have so much infighting at debian that people are afraid to vote publicly and transparently?

Doesn't pretty much every western democracy have anonymous voting so people can pick what they actually want to without without fear of reprisal?
I agree with what you are saying. Google undoubtedly puts a lot of emphasis on security and privacy against external threats. In other words, it is unlikely that google systems would be hacked and user secrets be leaked. I can be relatively confident that script kiddies won't hack the Gmail servers and download everyone's data.

However, Google most definitely puts no value in privacy in the holistic sense of the word, because as you say they'll willfully harvest every last bit of information, sensitive or not, that users store at Google. Google cannot be given a shred of trust with private data, because they have time and time again demonstrated to have no moral compass in this respect.

They may take a lot of care about protecting this data from others, but they don't care at all about protecting the data from themselves.
We can compare against public sector employees.

I think we can see a difference.

It’s not that we don’t end up with “corruption” with at will policies, but it’s better for the economy to have a more dynamic workforce.

As an individual though, of course I’d like to have a guaranteed job, but… I mean then you get government performance.

Yes some people will excel despite the lack of incentive, but most will prefer to just be mediocre and get by —why not? You won’t get in trouble.
I disagree that earning more and working more are usually related. It can be related, but I don't think it's the norm. I think the norm is working more than you're getting paid for, and that pay not differing from those who are working less than you. Just look at people wringing themselves out in the hospitality and services industries, they're not getting paid more than everyone else.
There are plenty of reasons to dislike Google, and this does sound in character; but something is off about this website.
Biochemist here, this reply is pretty stale and also lazy. Many studies are done in mice. A better criticism would be that this is a preprint. In fact, there's a giant yellow box right above it that says:

"bioRxiv posts many COVID19-related papers. A reminder: they have not been formally peer-reviewed and should not guide health-related behavior or be reported in the press as conclusive."

You're free to check out the credentials of the people in the paper, which look great. A bunch of different people that have worked in COVID, virology, and vaccines.
And yet, it works just fine in reality. That hypothetical argument is pure speculation, used to justify a law that's used to mask firing for illegal reasons and threatening employees.

Termination for most companies is expensive. It's why so many US companies still have and use PIPs. They're up against a threat of losing a lot of money, and if they can remediate the employee (it happens a fair bit, I've found), they've saved that money.

To paraphrase a rather decent well and septic guy on TikTok, "I've just put tens of thousands of dollars into this guy's education. Why would I get rid of him?"
I don't think your arguments are incorrect, but I honestly couldn't imagine anything worse than needing to live in a city surrounded by people. I live in a suburb now, and it's still too dense for my tastes. I strongly believe in environmentalist issues, and I understand intellectually that we would be better off if we mostly resided in compact environments.

One issue I see is that ultimately when there are enough people, choice is removed. Eventually there is only density left. My town isn't very dense right now, but there is definitely pressure to build more homes. When that happens, my interests will be harmed, and the interests of people who would like more density would be served. It's effectively a zero-sum game. You could say "I have a choice to move somewhere less dense" -- but so too do the people who would prefer density: they can move somewhere else and leave me alone.

Now I'm not arguing that I should be able to prevent people from making my area more dense. What I am arguing is that under this regime, people who like density will always eventually win, and people who abhor density will always eventually lose. Why is it fair that one group's preferences matter and another group's preferences do not?
I bought a belt drive Priority Apollo a while back. They are honestly the best thing since sliced bread. Between the internally geared hub and the completely silent operation, it is a pleasure to ride. The only issue I have had so far is it's a little rear heavy so when I load it down with groceries it tends to pop wheelies.

https://www.prioritybicycles.com/products/priority-apollo

I ended up switching to an internally geared hub on my other bike and with a chain it is okay, but the feeling is completely different. There is zero stretch to a belt that gives a feeling of almost instant response. I imagine a Pinion geared bike would be even better.

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences.
Why would a company allow a person that they no longer trust access to their resources? Zoom offered a compromise to accommodate his "moral high ground" but he dug in. Now we are supposed to be outraged on his behalf. Nah, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Ah, well, if you're willing to accept having a frankensystem with a mix of packaged and unpackaged software, sure. ;) I used to do that, back in Slackware days.

It's considered really sloppy and unmaintainable to admin a system like that. Things quickly get out of hand.

That strategy _does_ work if you isolate it to a chroot or a container, but littering /usr/local with all sorts of locally compiled upstream is just asking for future pain. Security updates, library incompatibilities, &c.

Prebuilt binaries might be nice, but I don't expect them for random projects. (and I wouldn't have used them if offered) I do think it's a reasonable expectation to be able to build software w/o essentially setting up a new userland just for that tool though. :)
I would go with tax preparation software. Barring that, OCR, and then, internet radio.

Not allowing profit is when economies fall.

> Commuter rail systems address this

Sure, but using public transport is a heavy trade-off in time. Where I am now, at peak hour a train (to my chosen destination) arrives every 15m. The bus/shuttle to the nearest station arrives as often as they can, which can be between 10m and 15m.

My last trip (from suburbs to a CBD +-20km away) during peak hour involved 30m total of waiting for the next shuttle/bus/train. That's 30m without the actual time in transit (on the train its quite fast - about 10m transit. On the bus, it is not, about 15m transit because it has many stops to make).

The next day I drove instead, and took a total of 30m to get to my destination.

Commuter transit systems work wonderfully for people who want to do things during transit but otherwise have no other use of their time.

For me, and a lot of people who opted to live in child-friend homes in child-friendly suburbs, an extra 60m-90m spent in transit is 60m-90m of time we lost with our family.

I don't care that I can read during that time; I can always simply read after my kid has gone to bed after all. I care that I get to spend those few extra hours per day with my kid.
