It's a bit of an extreme instance but when I toyed with good old turbo pascal 7.0 ide (dos era) I was shocked by the quality of it (turbo pascal), brilliant on every aspect, mind blowing for the size and era. Yet the minute I tried to edit code I felt straightjacketed by the editor, you can only do what's built in. It was a stupid need for region aware edition.. nothing fancy but I was still stuck.

Ability to extend your system with a quick `eval` and adjust keybindings when needed is a very hard drug to me. And I'm not in the fanatic period anymore but still.
I'd rather that your sex worker acquaintances spend their energy surveying the existing body of academic literature on the subject than to make pleas to me.

Not trying to be snarky here, and I'm not mounting a defense for complete prohibition of prostitution and the varying types of sex work, I'm just terrified by the increasing acceptability of the work in common society: I want little girls to have engineers and doctors as role models instead of being prodded into sex work by virtue of its encroaching and increasing presence and exposure, a trade that obliges (commonly) the woman to invest their time pleasing men, a trade that has diminishing returns overtime as they age. Leaving aside the mountain of studies that pinpoint poverty as root of most sex work the continents across the globe and related psychological issues brought on by the experiences later on, if you cannot accept earlier-stated premise, then I reckon we come from differing views and further debate on this forum on this subject will likely be fruitless.
I always wondered if certain fungi reached earth via an asteroid that hit earth and was from a fertile exoplanet, and somehow reached here. I like the idea of panspermia[0]. I always imagined psilocybin-containing mushrooms as somewhat alien and almost designed to alter consciousness, as if from another planet. McKenna's 'stoned ape' theory, if true, would explain much of the 'missing link' problem.

I think the main problem is that many people fail to distinguish actions that are bad, and actions the government should prevent.

There is a big difference between saying "This is bad and this company should stop doing it" and "This is bad and the government should step in".

This is made worse, because most people don't even bother to propose a solution and just say "this is bad!" leaving others to fight over the implications of the incomplete thought.
I agree things are a bit confusing on this project, was hoping people would just watch my video, which is pretty clear. Lesson learned for the future to improve how I present things!
Plex does some wonky things, like missing external subtitles right there in the same video subfolder, or forgetting/failing to detect a compatible video file for some reason. My goto solution was simply to touch the files so Plex would think they were new and index them.

I used extf4 as storage, but changing to NTFS (yuck) has caused less issues. With the last version the search for subtitles is broken, but at least I can add them manually. I bought Plex Pass for life, but stayed with the free version because it's more stable.
There's actually alot of research in this topic. You should look into "Genetic Programming" on scholar.google.com and you'll find some good presentations.

For example https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C21&q=gen... and that references a paper where they do this with MUGEN (Ai v Ai fighting game) http://irep.ntu.ac.uk/id/eprint/30021/1/PubSub7423_8186_Mart...

Genetic programming sounds like a complicated term, but it's basically an easy way to take successful characteristics and breed them into something else.

I mean, speed is the obvious issue with road safety. It increases stopping distance by a large amount, at 50km/h (~30mph) you're not even stopping while you already at a standstill at 30km/h (~20mph). If everyone drove at 10km/h almost no fatal accident would happen (probably mostly old people reversing into others).

According to german data, reducing the speed limit from 50km/h (~30mph) to 30km/h (~20mph) reduces heavy injuries and deaths by 60-70% (https://www.vsf.de/fileadmin/inhalte/public/06_Engagement/te...) and decreases fatalities after a collision with a pedestrian from 80% to 30%. That's not quite mad max, but still very bad.

We know that even for interstates speed limits have an large effect (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S000145759...), with deaths rising by ~15% after the speed limit was increased from 55mph (afaict, for urban interstates it was mostly raised by 10mph, with average travel speed only changing slightly). So even at those speeds there is a very noticable effect on deaths.

If these numbers apply to speed limits, it's obvious that they should also apply to speeding. Even more so, it makes it clear that setting the speed limit higher has an pretty large effect on safety, so people do use the speed limit as a guide (with, as you said, often some amount of additional speed), so raising the speed limit seems like a very bad idea.

All the figures I've seen for US speed limits seem in line with most of the speed limits commonly used in Germany, which are more on the high side for the EU. I don't know how you come to the conclusion that they're amazingly low.

For sure. I started off with Squeak so I eventually got the git package installed and, in addition to updating the image and the changes file, it also wrote out the classes I added to disk - basically a directory being the class and every file inside the directory being the implementation of a method.

It's hard for me to see what I'd deploy this way, as a pet project, but it's teaching me a lot more about a nice way to do OOP that also gives you an environment in which OOP can thrive.
My friend wants to own a brewery and was an accountant, my other friends are in finance, banking, etc. Last time we hung out we had fun going over the business plan of the brewery my friend was working for in detail down to costs. It was a fun chat. My other friend wants to start a honky tonk in his hometown, he's in construction but was also quite interested.

I don't remember all the details that's what paper is for, we got down to salary and % ownership stake while at a burger joint in rural Texas on our way to a lake.

I got to Texas 2 days early to hang out with my friend who I hadn't seen in a while. We went to 5 micro breweries in 5 meals so he could scout them out and get my feedback (just general dude) on the decor, food, beer selection, location. We talked about that interlaced with talk of families and friends.

I really don't think it's uncommon.
I think the only way is to bite the bullet and accept the somewhat steep learning curve. Unlike the other suggestions I think it's best to start off with a vanilla Emacs setup (rather than one of the fancy distributions), because it's better to start with a very simple setup and then build on that.

The initial Emacs setup is very basic and quite ugly, but good for learning. Follow the built-in tutorial.

After learning the basics, create an init.el file, learn to use the use-package package, and start off trying out interesting packages to make your life better. I would suggest finding a good theme and giving helm a go to begin with.
Alternately, they could be arguing that "prudery" that originates from a project of improving societal morality is not necessarily a bad thing.

The definition you propose applies a modern, negative connotation to "prude" that is certainly present in the English language, but there could also be more sympathetic interpretations of the same characteristic ("innocent" and "straight-laced" and "proper" come to mind).

Religion is a proxy for culture, which is generally a protected class for the most part since you don't chose the culture that you grow up in.

Furthermore, companies are allowed to discriminate on aspects of religion/culture - not allowing time for prayers, requiring certain dress code, e.t.c.
Making beer, wine, and mead. It's interesting to take different techniques and materials from various recipes and disciplines to make something new and unique. There's always new things to try or improvements to be made, yet even an average performance by the maker can produce good stuff. If not getting crazy about the equipment, it can save you money. It can also lead to secondary hobbies like malting and beekeeping. Also, it's interesting to learn about informal chemistry when it comes to different additives, like when acid balancing.

Beekeeping. It's fun to do and can produce a lot of high quality products. This leads to learning about the different things you can make with honey (creamed honey, mead, candy, etc). What to do with wax (candle making, cosmetics, wood finish, etc). Learning about how the hive behaves and such is very interesting. It also makes you pay attention for flowers too (look up honeybee and skunk cabbage for an interesting thing you would learn if you saw bees bringing in pollen during very early spring when it looks like nothing is blooming).

Mycology is another interesting one. You can forage and cultivate Mushrooms. You find a lot of cool fungi while foraging, some of them edible. But you notice a lot of stuff that maybe you wouldn't have noticed in nature before. You often need to learn to identify trees too. On the cultivation side you lean about sterile techniques and building a home lab. Of course either path can lead you to new cooking ideas (lions mane "crab" cakes anyone?), and some very cool facts about fungi in general.

Track days and autoX are fun. Not only is there a ton to learn about driving techniques but also a lot about engineering and mechanic work when doing maintenance or upgrades. Even researching stuff that's not available to you right now can be cool, like the tech used in F1 that might become commercial in another decade (or not).

My list is extremely long. But those are a few.

The thing that stands out to me the most is the sentiment. This reads like a big rant as in saying "I did all the things textbooks say, why didn't it work out?"

That is as if to say "I've gone to the music school, why am I not a k-pop mega star yet?"

A lot of people will not look at the 200k this person didn't make as "lost"; rather the cost of learning expensive lessons.

The first lesson should have been that we're not in 2007 anymore. Sprinkling tech on random things has a small chance of working out. They did not have any domain knowledge or connections to schools nor restaurants. They were just users of them, like everybody else.

Building a startup is a beautiful thing but it requires relentless optimism and actually feeling the problem. Enough to say that's how YC finds its cohort.

Austin is great, although its success might be burying some of what previously made it great. Keep in mind that those living there have to contend with Texas, meaning you have to make peace with the non-techies or work pretty hard to convert the environment into something more mainstream.

I keep my notes in notepad++ as plaintext. I've always thought of this as a time saver because it removes any time wasted not actually working. Now I'm reconsidering.

I haven't been using GTD but I used a vaguely similar system of notes to keep track of what I need to do. This article has really focused some of the areas I might be improve this, mainly through giving more information about each task (context, time, energy, priority).

I think this is where a more sophisticated tool might help, because it will be hard to organise that in plaintext and somehting with a columnar way of representing this information in tables will help (btw open for suggestions that aren't excel!).
This sounded cool, so I tried to set it up. It gave me a compilation failure (something about self.url doing something bad because of implementing Drop). I didn't put any more effort after that and I'm no Rust developer, so maybe it's on me, but I'd let you know anyway.
9.2% and the Master of Twitter (Musk vs. SEC)
This feels like a straw man. No doubt some conservatives sling "liberals just want to groom children" with varying degrees of seriousness, but I would have guessed that the primary impetus is to prevent teachers proselytizing their sexual identity beliefs on young children. At least with older children "sexuality" is an important and legitimate educational topic and it's difficult to legislate against indoctrination without imperiling legitimate education; however, I can't think of any legitimate reason to broach sexuality with first graders. I also think transparency in education is eminently desirable--I can't think of any good reason that schools should hide from parents what they're teaching children, and the tenuous arguments against this seem likely to damage Democrat credibility in the minds of swing voters--politically, this seems like a terrible hill to die on (much like how Democrats distanced themselves from "abolish the police" a couple years ago, it seems like they should distance themselves from secretly teaching very young kids).

I think the more compelling rebuttal is that the fear of indoctrination is overblown, that there aren't many cases of this happening. That said, I think it's perfectly fine to preemptively legislate against something when there's no real downside to the legislation. To this point, I would be curious to hear what legitimate material you think this legislation imperils. I would also like to hear proponents of the legislation give examples which show that this could become a problem in Florida (are there many examples of teachers proselytizing to students, especially sexual and gender identity ideologies?).
too creepy.
Most creative output is duplicated effort: consider how much code each person on HN has written that has been written before. Consider how, a decade ago, we were all writing html and styling it, element by element, and then Twitter bootstrap came along and revolutionised front-end development in what is, ultimately, a very small and low technology way. All it really did was reduce duplicate effort.

Nowadays there’s lots of great low/no code platforms, like Retool, that represent a far greater threat to the amount of code that needs to be produced than AI ever will.

To use a cliche: code is a bug, not a feature. Abstracting away the need for code is the future, not having a machine churn out the same code we need today.
> In 2021, 1659 anti-religious acts were recorded in France, including 857 anti-Christian acts (52%), 589 anti-Semitic acts (36%) and 213 anti-Muslim acts (13%)

Well Mr statistics, since you are offering, maybe you also the percentage of Christian/Jew/Muslim in France and, probably there are less Muslim than Christians which means they are more likely to be victims of anti religious acts? Was that your point?

I'm not sure it's really worth discussing more, I'm not going to convince you you got brainwashed by populists, you are not going to make me become racist or xenophobic, so we are just losing time and energy :)

What a stupid idea. Of course, it's very simple (i.e. cheap) to create fake irises.
Org roam is pretty cool but with less features than actual roam. I had to force myself to use it but after that it's fine. The big disadvantage of all things Org is that unless you're doing very simple and using only defaults, there are no reasonable mobile workflows. You pretty much need a PC, or termux+keyboard for it to make any sense.
> That's outright not true, they will not take ALL of the immigrants.

No, it’s just impossible to get a regular EU or US work visa as an unskilled laborer from some Indian village.

There are some seasonal worker visas available which are perhaps even more “abusive” than those offered by the gulf countries, but nothing long term.

> Secondly, letting all immigrants come and treating them like objects/slaves is immoral

Oof. You say this like it’s obvious. I say it’s not obvious at all, especially when “treating them like objects/slaves” is code for “vastly improving their lives, but not by enough”.

Do you think it’s moral to leave these people to fend for themselves in the vastly worse conditions they exist in?

The world isn’t black and white. As I see it, the gulf countries are doing vastly more to improve these peoples lives than Western countries. Can you refute that? I’m genuinely interested in being proven wrong.

> Also it would negatively impact the local economy, cheapening production overhead for businesses that will exploit slaves driving bottom-line for everyone else

This is a positive effect, consumers will have access to cheaper goods.

I discovered I don't enjoy programming at all and I was only ever trying to prove myself smart, because my father had hang ups about being stupid after getting brain damage.

Programming itself is horrible, now I'm stuck in a career I hate (or rather I am now aware of my prison).

I'm not sure knowing is better.
If you're bored or feeling boring, an easy solution is do something that can get you killed.

I bought a motorcycle last year and I'm not nearly as boring any more. Surprisingly so, if you consider all I did was buy a vehicle and learn to use it. It seems to be a general litmus test: Find a risky hobby and you're mind will be focused and dialed in to what you're doing and others will respect your effort and skill. Scuba, surfing, flying, poker, etc.
Thank you. Honestly, any starting point whatsoever would be extremely helpful. That's the thing that's prevented me from ever seriously diving in, mostly because life makes so little time for it. But I can make the time now.
Almost everything stated here is simply wrong or misinformed.

I've been reading Stolen Focus by Johann Hari and one of the points he makes is that there actually is a general decline in the ability to focus enough to enjoy reading books, even amongst educated and intellectual people. A lot of the blame gets put on the usual suspects (smartphones, social media, etc.), but there are a lot of factors like the stressful and distracted nature of our work environments, our diets, our sleep patterns, pollution, etc. that may genuinely be contributing to a increased inability to focus enough to disappear into a book.
Sure you can. Open up your VS Code extension in a VS Code window and live-debug it. I'd bet the process is probably very similar when editing VS Code yourself, but the point of the extension system is that you usually shouldn't have to.
