But sadly, the people most prone to bad-faith communication are also probably least likely to take this criticism and improve.

It's not that people prone to this are doing so because of poor communication skills that can be improved upon, bad faith communication is by definition intentional.

Why even bother to communicate?

You probably should disregard anyone communicating in bad faith.
I see, thank you. Targeting the if statements, but not the open() methods, is an interesting corner case that I would not have though about.
I got my info from LTT, where they swapped the Disks and had to do it with a secondary Mac. So now I wonder if they could have done it without it.
The internet had so much potential. All that potential died for me when the Snowden revelations came out. Instead of wonder, it turned to fear. Now that all tech is connected to the internet and can report on whatever we do, it really taints it for me. Instead of a wonderful tool, it's something that can be dangerous.
While I agree that a lot of technology these days is being used for dystopian/nefarious purposes, if you live in the US, I'd suggest a drive (or flight if too far away from TX) to SpaceX's Starbase rocket launch site in Boca Chica, Texas: it will rekindle that spark you had for technology.
Oh for sure. I tell my nieces and nephews and now my son that the best way to kill something you love is to get a job doing it.
I don’t know, I think it depends on how you qualify crisis, and what you deem as an appropriate response.

If we’re trading anecdotes I don’t personally know anyone who has died or even been hospitalized with COVID. I know people who know people who did, but that is a small number and the majority were not likely to live long due to other causes (I do know one of one family member of a friend who was in seemingly good health and was hospitalized).

For my personal health and the health of most people I would say there wasn’t ever a crisis, though the delta wave got closest to being so that also coincided with the vaccine availability which removed any crisis that would have come otherwise. For others who are prone to severe illness it has been a crisis and continues to be. Aside from the political banter that is what has made this so divisive, the real risk and experiences of people can vary wildly.
There is a lot of cool tech stuff, just not at your work.

The stuff that I found very cool is found outside commercial space. I have few examples:

- Serenity OS project which builds whole operating system from the ground up

- some guy (I forgot his name) who hooked up his arm prothesis to modular synth and now he is literally able to play melodies using his mind

- completely free and open source Bespoke Synth DAW which appeared out of nowhere after 10 years of silent development

- youtube series about restoration of Centurion minicomputer

- you can change map projection on the fly with new version of Mapbox (see demo - https://www.mapbox.com/blog/adaptive-projections) (this one is actually commercial but very impressive)
I think there is an interesting aspect of this - how society treats death, what is philosophy of death in that society, etc.

Colleague's grandpa passed away in Scandinavia. As it was summertime, all the extended family is on vacation, abroad and etc. they put the body in the freezer and schedule funeral at some time when everybody's back.

On the other hand I have read about Japanese (might be any other Far East country) culture where passing away of father requires something like a year of mourning. Culture doesn't allow you to go to work for a year as you would look insensitive. However not showing up at work for a year is also a big nono. So it becomes a huge strain on all the family.

And we can imagine how these two cultures can have very different approaches to crisis like that, crisis itself is of a very different scope because of culture.
Im not sure I was using the term correctly. What I mean is arguing or discussing matters of public discourse... politics and whatnot.
This is the last thing i expected to see on HN. One of my favorite tracks by this dude is an acid version of Bach's Prelude no.1 in C major: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2kcOCsALnw If anyone's ever programmed a TB-303 manually you can imagine how much patience it must've taken to score this.

I also really love his track Acid le Soken. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghgbqldDI2U It's some of the most beautiful symphonic 303 out there. The only other stuff I feel comes close is Kosmik Kommando's first album (Freaquenseize). It's just infused with such a delightful sense of shameless nostalgia, no need to get "intelligent" just for the sake of it.
I have never had this issue, I just use command left or right and it goes to the beginning or end in every application except my terminal but I am pretty sure that is because it mapped command left and right to changing tabs. When in the terminal I just use home/end and it works just fine.

But I use this functionality extensively when outside the terminal.
I can’t help feeling we over rely on them/take stuff like this too seriously.

Douglas Adams wrote comedy books so I think we're safe.
Nah dude, its you. Nothing else

> I don't know if it's still a crisis, but I think America is saying it isn't, because it's tired of the fight.

There's no way a collective can stay on alert for years.

My reaction was "well deaths are way down" but then I looked and we recently had a spike of deaths as big or larger than the initial wave.

So I think - if I'm being honest - it's as much a crisis as it ever was, we're just finding a way to live with it, no pun intended.
It changed about the time I turned 28.

Yes but unfortunately I don't see how it invalidates my point.

a) you either replace DIC with custom hard-wired functions (composed using any-order custom helpers) and then it's still hard-wired at one place

b) you reinvent DI with functions but it's still some magic, late-configurable, easy-to-plugin container (aka the circus which I think you were referring to and which I have said it's actually useful and worth)

EDIT: or what exactly are you complaining about?
What an interesting and thoughtful article. However we will not restore good-faith communication in public spaces. It’s a 1-way process. This is why the future will be (I think) smaller and more selective communities where good-faith discourse can occur between a select sub-set of people. Probably the sort of people who do not feel threatened intellectually or otherwise in indulging in such an exchange. You are not going to educate or persuade “the mass” to change their approach now.

If you disagree with me then you are evil and on the wrong side of history and I will summon a mob against you. ;-)
Show HN: Monocle – bidirectional code generation library
I just published a bidirectional code generation library. Afaik it's the first of its kind, and it opens up a lot of possibilities for cool new types of dev tools. The PoC is for ruby, but the concept is very portable. https://blog.luitjes.it/posts/monocle-bidirectional-code-gen...
Overdose deaths are a public health calamity. COVID topped them by an integer multiple.
>These basic everyday requirements are oblivious to those who have zero first-hand contact or experience with professional user-facing problems imposed by business requirements.

Could you paint me a realistic scenario for such multifaceted complexity revolving around this blinking cursor in a particular field?
I can see how this might depend on a language/writing system but kind of get lost beyond that.

I do have experience with such "professional user-facing problems imposed by business requirements" btw but they tend to be more related to desktop and factory software each used by hundreds which is probably a few zeroes less than what we're talking about here.

>And I'm not even touching hard technical probs which most developers aren't experienced or competent in, such as security and reliability.

I know more than most that software can behave in weird ways but don't you think if there's a reasonable worry that altering this blinking cursor affects security that something is off?

Does this mean the Raspberry Pi might get suspend to ram support? That would make building a PDA out of eg the Raspberry Pi zero which gets decent battery life feasible.
Huh? I don't follow. 3D Printing and robot are moving far faster than ever before. Sure, you aren't going from "no 3d printing" to "3d printing", but that's like complaining about food today because it isn't like when you were a kid and got McDonalds once a month and how awesome that was!
Still, it's not alt tab with the press-hold-release which is always quicker than doing gesture->arrow to select something->enter.
The problem in that specific case is not the Bahn organization itself, but politics. On one hand you have a lot of regional NIMBYs, and on the other hand we have had 16 years of Conservative government which was wholly bought off by the car lobby which meant that there was no interest in solving the issues (even if, need be, by drowning the NIMBYs in money). Only thing that got done railway-wise is the start of Stuttgart 21 (which is mostly a prestige project, not something that actually makes sense) and the start of the 2nd Munich S-Bahn tunnel.
Eh, musicians and their stupidly expensive mythical instruments. Haven't blind test after blind test shown that nobody can hear the difference between a good affordable instrument and the Stradivariuses et. al.?

Great list. I would add Hades and Slay the Spire.

as an Ubuntu user, I also got a new Mac in my new place. I survived a day before switching back to XPS+Ubuntu. I have a list of things that were horrible but I'd like to add one in particular which is that dock auto-hide is a complete mess, so not intuitive and when you want it to show it doesn't show and vice versa.
Probably because it's not a like comparison anymore. One is an ARM chip. One is x86. They don't run the same software, they don't work the same, and they sure as hell aren't built on the same silicon.

I don't really think Apple is very "far ahead" in that respect. They're just doing what Apple does best: changing lanes and catering to the people who already use their machines.
MBAs tend to move in when companies are in trouble. It’s a signal not a cause.

The companies I know who are still benevolent make money hand over fist. Management, employee, shareholders are all happy as peas in a pod.

It’s when the money stops flowing that hard decisions are made.
I'd say KDE and this agreement are why I would still consider using an open source version of Qt for a new project today. The whole KDE ecosystem will probably always need more stuff from Qt than me and I don't see KDE disappear overnight so I feel covered.

A Qt app is so much lighter, faster and more enjoyable to use than any electron app. GTK still doesn't click for me as a programmer. Alternatives don't feel as functional as those three options.

Have you been in a "Mediterranean corridor" train? It can take 6-4h to get from Valencia to Barcelona. Maybe the AVE is an outlier. And it isn't available everywhere exactly. Curious that the 2nd and 3rd biggest cities are so badly connected. The fuel it took driving alone in a car was cheaper (2018) than those trains also.
Terrified of it? If it is terrifying, it is hardly boring, it would seem!

Ooof, if you're German, then, by your own logic, you don't really have room to speak on the atrocities of other countries... no?
You read or heard about those things from reports originating in western media (yes, you might have read it somewhere else, but even the People's Daily is reliant on western media for the stories it makes about how the west is bad). The free dissemination of information sets us apart from the likes of China and Russia. We shouldn't self-censor news from China because Biden is an asshole, we can report about both. If the situation really was symmetrical, there wouldn't be any discussion about US abuses, because it would be outlawed.
> Maybe one day it will be your poor life choice

Like being born with a certain combination of genes which aren't as healthy a combination as others. Or being hit by a car, and losing a limb. Or being shot in the head by someone and persisting in a vegetative state for years.

Yeah, the nerve of these freeloaders and their 'poor life choices'.

I'm GenX and I don't think tech was ever cool. I have always liked engineering but I never thought it bought me cool points. Certainly in grade school it was something I mostly kept in the closet among my peers at the wealthy-district public school.

> every week Qt changes their licensing model, every time less in favor of open source

Where can we learn about this? As far as it seems, qt is still, as always, distributed under the LGPL; which is as "open source" as it gets. The main site of qt even lists explicitly the Four Freedoms of the FSF : https://www.qt.io/licensing/open-source-lgpl-obligations

It is not about "flush toilet", is about having a nice, expensive ceramic toilet, which could upgrade a typical "hole in the floor" style lavatory, common to many villages.
I've been driving gestures since my 2008 MBP. Gestures have become an integral part of my workflow, and using BetterTouchTool [1] I use CMD+4 finger swipes to throw windows to either side of the screen, or to maximize them. CMD+4-finger-click runs ffmpeg on the last captured screen recording, and produces a Jira- and Slack-friendly GIF, which is draggable from the dock.

My Windows machine is for mostly for updating and gaming, in that order.

What monitor, mouse, and keyboard did not work with mac?

Most of the complaints makes it sound like you aren't actually trying to do everything the "Apple way", rather wishing macOS way worked like what you're used to and comfortable with from Windows.
With the recent GCP Cloud Certificate Manager release the global propagation time is minutes. (I should note I was a PM for this feature)
Their selling points seem to be:

- DuckDuckGo for Mac gives you privacy by default

- DuckDuckGo for Mac is really fast!

- DuckDuckGo for Mac is built for security.

.. isn't that just (almost/good enough) Safari these days? Plus with Safari you typically get better battery life. And Apple's monetisation model makes me feel like they'll treat my privacy even better than a search engine. The only reason why sometimes I miss/use browsers like Brave is because of the Chrome Extensions.
See, it's not an occupation, it's a "perpetual lease". That I happen to enforce with my army. And we didn't steal that land, they kindly gave it to us. When we held a gun up to their heads and made them sign a document they did not understand. Oh, and these aren't slaves, they're workers. Who happen to be on an unbreakable contract.

(and also, how could I forget, "these Uighurs aren't prisoners, they're just people who, realizing their mistakes, kindly happened to voluntarily come here for education")
We were trying to document EoL dates for Qt at endoflife.date/qt and it was made needlessly difficult by Qt patches being technically open-source via KDE patches.

The whole thing felt so fragile.
Just to expand on that a bit, the USSR received ~$11 billion in lend-lease assistance from the US, which is roughly $130 billion in current dollars.

The scale was incredible - hundreds of thousands trucks and jeeps, thousands of tanks, thousands of airplanes, as well as small arms, ammo, explosives, etc. Food, too, and lots of oil. A huge part of the Red Army's success was having the US backing them up.

Sure, but some are so pretending no company can ever push back against a short term cost cutting / revenue focus is false.
> there is a strong emphasis on air tightness and insulation now.

Which isn't exactly great without heat recovery ventilation. Either you open the windows to get fresh/non-humid air and lose your heat, or you end up with condensation spots from lack of ventilation. Particularly with modern houses lacking outdoor space in which to dry your clothes...

Besides, most of the tightness and insulation can be fairly easily retrofitted to older houses. It does get harder pre-1930 where they use solid wall construction, but 1950 on isn't too hard to bring up to modern standards. Double glazing, cavity and loft insulation, new tightly fitted windows and you're mostly there.

From its earliest days, Unix has used a single hyphen to introduce command options or flags, like 'ls -l', which produces the long form directory listing, and 'cat -n', which numbers the lines that it outputs.

Every author of a command makes up the conventions for these flags. The shell processes the command line, invokes the command and passes the processed words to the command as arguments. While there are standard library routines for parsing these arguments, they don't have to be used and many original Unix commands would have been written with their own parsing code.

The oldest Unix commands like 'ls', 'cp', 'rm', and 'ps' mostly take single letter arguments. Authors often allowed such single letter arguments to be stacked up: 'ls -l' means list directory contents in long form while 'ls -r' means list directory in reverse alphabetic order and 'ls -lr', 'ls -l -r', and 'ls -r -l' mean all do the same thing, list the directory contents in long form in reverse alphabetic order.

It wasn't always the case, but by now, 'ls' has over 40 or 50 single character arguments so I find myself needing to check the man page for the less common ones. There are other quirks too. Both 'tar' and 'ps' accept arguments that don't have the dash. 'ps -a' does (almost) the same thing as 'ps a'. 'tar -xv' will extract an archive, verbosely, but so will 'tar xv'. The author of these ancient Unix commands just decided to parse the command line arguments this way.

What always bothered me was the use of full words instead of single character options introduced by a single dash. The 'find' command is one of these early Unix commands (introduced 44 years ago) that does this. "find /home/joe -name 'x*y' -print" outputs every file under directory /home/joe with a name starting with x and ending in y. This very useful command has a dizzying list of uses so the author made it easier to understand by using full words after the single dashes for elements on the command line. The recent versions of 'find' also take some single character flags: "find -d /home/joe -name 'x*y' -print" does almost the same thing as the previous example in this paragraph, but it descends into directories in a depth-first order.

Compilers, with there own complex set of command line flags, options, and arguments have long used their own, offbeat, interpretations of their command lines arguments.

Most Unix commands attempt to parse their command line arguments and if they couldn't, they would print out a few lines with a compact usage description. For example 'ps -Q' is not something that the 'ps' command understands so it produces:

ps: illegal option -- Q
usage: ps [-AaCcEefhjlMmrSTvwXx] [-O fmt | -o fmt] [-G gid[,gid...]]
[-g grp[,grp...]] [-u [uid,uid...]]
[-p pid[,pid...]] [-t tty[,tty...]] [-U user[,user...]]
ps [-L]

If this isn't enough help, one would check the man pages (with 'man ps'). I know that I saw commands written to use help when passed '-h' long ago, but around 1986 or so it wasn't common and often '-h' simply triggered the standard usage output because there was no option '-h'.

I don't watch and don't know much about Joe Rogan, but what would be the point of inviting guests that share your viewpoint? You already know what they're going to say, and so do your watchers.

It seems more beneficial to legitimate inquiry to invite moderates with an opposing viewpoint, and more conducive to ratings (drama) to invite polarizing figures of all ilk (Alex/Bernie) but particularly those whose viewpoint differs most from your own.
I also don't get headaches from hangovers, the only symptom I really get is nausea. A handful of times bad enough that I actually puked while hungover, whereas I've never thrown up while drunk.

What they don’t show you is how much money all the manufacturers are making.

Most of these brands’ median notebook price is well below Apple, so Apple is taking way more in revenue for consumer computer sales.

But the story doesn’t end there. It’s all about how much profit you’re generating. ASUS has a profit margin of about 5% on its sales. Meanwhile, Apple has done a little bit better, with a profit margin of 40%.
