Keep in mind that until about 200 years ago we didn't consume anything even close to the scale of what we're doing now.

So far we basically replaced everything with petrol derived products (whale oil, coal, natural fibers, fertiliser, insecticide, &c.) and good luck replacing that, virtually anything you have in direct line of sight contains petroleum products. The fact that we did it in the past at some lower scaler doesn't really tell us anything about the future.

I always found the "fuck it we'll figure it out later (when I'm dead)" argument to be extremely questionable. Burning your bed to stay warm once your sofa is done burning doesn't really sound like a smart plan, but it seems to be the one we're adopting
Andy Hunt has written an amazing book called Pragmatic Thinking and Learning where he specifically wrote a chapter (Chapter 8: Manage Focus) on developing and and managing focus. I would highly recommend that you buy the book and read it.

Well, that's unreasonably nostalgic. I do agree that a lot of modern games confuse high quality art with effects, but past video games were heavily, and (to their creators) excruciatingly limited by technical feasibility, NOT by deliberate artistic choices.

The classics you remember are not what the creator imagined or wanted. It was the least painful compromise. The creators had two sticks and were hell-bent to build a space station with those. Completely unreasonable. Immensely frustrating. A masterpiece, but definitely not what the creators would have created given more options – least of all id software, which were nothing if not cutting edge.

Everyone has good and bad attributes. If you’re expecting anyone to be 100% good you’ll be disappointed.

I’m still a fan because he seems about 90% right on his opinions and he’s doing amazing work.
In what way is his view on free speech far beyond vocal free speech advocates? I think it’s pretty uncontroversial that Twitter is the de-facto public square on the internet, and so it is bad that they clearly have a political leaning when it comes to content moderation. I know they’re a private company. But it’s just naïve at this point to think Twitter is the same as any old private company.
Which goes to show that none of these social media companies are built on inimitable technology dominance, there is no technology moat, only a network moat.
75% of HN denizens probably meet the diagnostic criteria.
HN for me is also a form of social media, especially if you find yourself checking it all the time.

For a single modder, it may have to do with being a single developer, working on it over a long period of time and being a passion project.

For a while, I was the only developer working in a small module of a bigger project: I started the code base, discussed requirements with clients, implemented the needed features, tested the whole product end to end. I developed a very good instinct about it and about what any change would do, much better than any other project. My theory is that the code base matched my way of thinking, so thinking about it was pretty easy.

All these precise tips are meaningless, as people are different enough to each require a technique that works for them. Generally though I'd say: Prioritise it.
Grandparent seems to be making a point about the nature of art, and how small variants in the medium make a difference. It will date me a bit, but I'll provide an unrelated example:

When I was little, one of my favorite movies was The Wizard of Oz. I have a cherished memory of my grandmother loading the VHS tape, and explaining what it was like to see color on the screen for the first time.

Many years later, my then-S.O. confesses that she's never seen it, so we rent the DVD. The DVD of the Wizard of Oz looks like garbage. It's obvious where the backdrops meet the ground. The costumes barely work. The trees in the Tin Man scene are straight up hilarious. If you've ever watched the original Star Trek series on DVD or Netflix, picture whatever special effect is most obviously fake to you (for me, it's The Doomsday Machine); the whole movie looks like that.

My grandmother had one experience with the film, never having glimpsed a color motion picture before. I had a different experience, watching from a worn VHS tape whose low fidelity masked a lot of the results of the relatively primitive techniques. My then-S.O. had a third experience, as would a child watching a digital version of the film today. Just because that experience is different (and, in many ways, worse) doesn't mean that the film never should have been digitized. Likewise, grandparent's preference for the original more primitive rendering doesn't mean that the ray-tracing mod never should've been made.
>The card has the customer's IBAN

No, not really, most cards have an "own" number, not connected to the IBAN (though a few do have it), it depends on the bank or organization issuing the card and on the specific type of card, I would say (without any proof of it) that the ratio is maybe 80% without IBAN and 20% with IBAN.

And pre-paid cards are also very common, without a connection you have no way to know if the money is there.
It's not the salaries that drive costs. It's mostly the long-term underfunded liabilities like pensions.

Concept maps are exactly how I want to learn. They are behind the ideas on my startup I'm working on https://gainknowhow.com . Each edge in my software is a requirement. It's interesting that cmap has different edge types that specify how a connection is required. I think all edges should just be hard requirements.
> - Consider getting a prescription for Concerta or Adderall if other ways of finding focus don’t work.

No, consider talking to a mental health professional for a proper evaluation if you think mental health issues are underlying part of your problem.

Don’t go in seeking a specific diagnosis or specific medications. This is literally called “drug-seeking behavior” and reputable doctors will flag you for it.

Accept that stimulants aren’t magical motivation or self-discipline in pill form. I’m seeing too many non-ADHD young people seek prescriptions and then burn themselves out, develop a dependency on a drug they didn’t need, and find themselves in worse condition when they realize that the energizing effects of stimulants don’t last forever.
This looks great. Has anyone any insights or reference about the limits of this approach compared to more traditional message queues?

>Slightly reductive but if I can't do what I like with something I buy, is it really mine?

Software is almost always licensed, not sold/owned.

>If it's not, why am I expected to pay full price?

This isn't really a good argument. For one, it implies that if it's on sale for black friday or whatever, that it's magically fine because you're no longer paying "full price". Moreover, the concept of a "full price" is nebulous at best. Suppose the "full price" of a product is $999,999,999, and the discounted price (with locked down hardware) is $1,000. I doubt that would alleviate your concerns.
I don't see any functional difference between an unpaid-for feature that is disabled by lack of hardware or software.

I can see an argument that hardware for stuff I haven't paid for adds weight and hurts my mileage. Or maybe the slippery slope argument: for now it is an option that you pay for up front, next year it's an option that you pay for every month.

Actually, I was going for the opposite. If a hiring manager gives you something to help you, it is because it is mutually beneficial to help.

You might recall a certain movement asking for Obama's birth certificate to prove that he was born in the US, back when he ran for president.

It's not completely clear that you need to be born in the US - several presidents and presidential candidates weren't - but it's pretty clear that foreigners who become naturalized US citizens later in life are not eligible to run for president.
IaC is unfortunately the wrong abstraction for most use cases. People have become religious about it and it’s slowing down development.

I’ve been doing IaC since terraform and k8s came around. We initially all thought it was great, now I think we’re covering up these wonderful UIs for a much worse interface that takes significantly longer, and in many cases gives us very little.

What we will hopefully converge on is UIs that basically do the same things as IaC.

Just like him I've got to a position where I can live very comfortably, but I would never ever give up my comfortable life and all my money for creating/buying startups that will most likely fail (of course I'm still investing).

Why would he want to do that? Being a politician sounds awful. He can make a much bigger impact in the private market.
You could just... not follow Trump, or block him.
Beware of anyone who tries to convince you that stimulants will automatically solve all of your problems. Plenty of people seek stimulant prescriptions and then more intensely focus on their distractions because their underlying problem was something else. You do not want to acquire a stimulant tolerance and dependence if you don’t have to.

And be extremely wary of anyone who claims 75% of a group has ADHD (referring to parent commenter following up below) when the actual incidence in adults is in the single digit percentage points.

This is like someone asking why they’re not getting stronger in the gym and commenters rushing to insist they need testosterone replacement therapy. There’s no free lunch.

Can't he both be a smart person and encouraging his fanbase to more cultish?

If one looked at life and fame as an engineer, having a rabid and large fanbase allows for new opportunities (financial and otherwise). So it'd be suboptimal not to encourage that.

Or as Matt Levine pontificated, if you're the kind of guy who can spike a cryptocurrency by writing something nice on Twitter, and you manage a public company, there's an argument that it's your fiduciary responsibility to do so in a buy-tweet-sell manner.

None of them seem to catch on. It seems that most people don't actually want a faster subset of python. They want either all of python or none of python (by switching to another language all together)

My remark was facetious, btw.
I wish you luck with the project, but I have to agree with the other poster; all signs point towards vaporware. If they've just become funded as their own org, that says to me that some Twitter executives were willing to pay beaucoup bucks to put distance between themselves and the team they put together to decentralize their service. No legitimate interest in decentralizing a platform should have this many roadblocks.

You don't need focus; you need to understand what your goal is. If you're dropping projects that look "unfinished" because, in reality, you've gotten what you want from them, that is fine. It only looks sloppy from the outside.

If you're dropping projects before you get what you want from them, introspect on why. What's happening that leads you away? Address that.

I recommend reading Barbara Sher's "Refuse to Choose"; it provides some useful tools for people who like to do 70 different things, including how to have lots of ideas without having to act on every one immediately.
Twitter is already a public company left to its own devices. But free speech wise, what Twitter needs is intervention. Scott is plainly in the same bubble as the existing Twitter employees and can’t provide that intervention.

[Python-Django/React-Node Fullstack Developer]

If you are looking for a technical architect for consultation or a full stack developer, who can help you with development, you have reached the right place. My goal is to make sure that my clients are 100% satisfied with the work that I perform and that their solutions are built to increase usability, revenues, and user experience. I can guarantee that the time you spend talking to me will be worth it!
There's a lot of "I" in your comment. My suggestion: find some other people to work with. Once you bring your project into relationship, you will become accountable, and this helps cut down on the fantasy.

>failed to take even a single major city in Ukraine

Yes, they only pulverized Mariupol and bomb others with impunity, including strategic targets like Lvivs Yavoriv base seemingly with no S-300 air cover. You have to take into account Russians dont seem to be interested in controlling the population, the goal at this point appears to be extermination. Everyone expected Ukraine to fail because there was still this prevailing conviction about some kind of competence in Russian ranks. Turned out small hit&run was enough to completely disrupt huge military convoy send on its mission like a headless chicken, all thanks to Ukrainian SF units with their training and freedom to take initiative. Russians seem to have started gaining some kind of cohesion in last two weeks. Switched from indiscriminately bombing random civilian targets to actually hitting some strategic assets from time to time now (fuel, logistics), retreated from failed Kyiv push, setup own artillery, started using uavs and jamming assets. Its uphill from here on.

>Ukraine is currently launching attacks on strategic targets within Russian territory

Singular attack, and Ukraine cleverly maintains plausible deniability.

>Russia is absolutely getting their ass kicked

Imo it doesnt matter who loses how much gear. Civilians are dying :( It was obvious around 15 that attack was imminent, yet Ukrainian gov slept at the wheel.
One obvious downside is that polling at a fixed interval is going to be less efficient than having an event "pushed" to your client as soon as it's available. If your events are low-volume, then there will be periods where your polling requests return no new data, but you still have to make those requests anyway in order to determine that. And conversely, if your events are high-volume, then your polling interval represents an arbitrary amount of delay that you're introducing into the system. That might not be big deal for some applications, but it's worth mentioning as a potential downside in situations where you want the behavior to be as near-instantaneous as possible.
I just bought a Nissan Leaf+ (love it BTW) and had the same thoughts. I've been following battery technology for at least twenty years. Even invested in a couple of companies. Yes, battery technology continues to improve. Yes, in a few years the range on my new car might seem limited, compared to what's on the market then. But the most important thing is:

It's already enough.

My nominal range is 215 miles. That's enough to drive around town all week - this car's typical usage pattern - before I have to recharge, and of course I can do that more often if I need to. It's enough to get from here to the ski club we're members of, which we'll probably never even do unless my wife's car breaks down. And that's the key: this is a second car. It doesn't need more range.

Maybe in a few more years, if/when battery technology has improved even more, we'll be able to replace my wife's car with one that will get to the club and back without recharging. Maybe when chargers are more ubiquitous, it'll be reasonable to go all the way from eastern Massachusetts to the middle of New York (where my daughter is likely to attend college) in an electric car. Maybe even all the way to Michigan, where I have family.

But that's all in the future. In the here-and-now, all of my trips are already emissions free and much cheaper than if I were using gas. Good enough. It's a lot like buying a computer; anything you buy today will be worse than what you could buy in a year, but you can still make better or worse purchases based on technology and price cycles. No reason to make the perfect the enemy of the good.
> Can't he both be a smart person and encouraging his fanbase to more cultish?

He can be both smart and evil. It happens often (not all the time, but most of the time).
HN is absolutely social media. Reddit and message boards, too. If you’re on a website socializing with other people or consuming socially-generated content from others, it’s social media.
> What about slander and libel laws or laws about claims made in advertisements?

Yep — here we're getting into Prior Restraint. It's both against the law to restrain free speech such as lies, but as you rightly point out, this speech can have other legal consequences.
Fission (and likely fusion) ended up being too complicated and expensive to do the job. But renewables appear to be much better situated to push out fossil fuels over the next several decades.
