>there's also the fact that he doesn't really have a social life, because of this thing. I'm pretty much the only person he still talks to outside of his job, and he doesn't go out and do anything anymore. It used to be that he'd occasionally head out and do some digging on the weekends, but now he spends almost all of his free time out there

This is one of those situations on Reddit I find odd.

Of all the things we're worried about here it is the tunnel. The tunnel isn't the reason, it's just a choice reflecting something else.

Meanwhile everyone focuses on the tunnel... tells this person why digging the tunnel is dangerous and tunnel technical discussion. Or they go to grand conclusions about this person who they don't know... It's like most of the advice is gathered from Jr. High students (no offense to mature Jr. High students).

Reddit, particularly when it comes to personal advice, sometimes feels like The Peanuts where there are no adults around.
The HN replies are more of an encouraging nature where as the reddit replies are more "how to stop the tunnelling". What explains this?
Sorry, but the germans started it.
Show HN: Two-way Jira sync in a collaborative spreadsheet and Gantt
Hello HN,

Our startup nearly died 2 years ago. We kept losing customers to spreadsheets. And it made us see a problem right under our nose: everyone just wanted flexibility & speed from a spreadsheet. But they have to stay in sync with {Jira / Salesforce / insert SaaS app}.

When we followed this thread, we discovered how broken the integration experience was for flexible products like Airtable, Smartsheet, Monday, and Google Sheets. Their big problem is that they transform external data into their own format. This makes setup harder, since you have to get the mapping just right. And often you can’t sync back.

We took a different path when building Visor. We essentially made a data lake & ETL tool with a front-end. Visor integrates with your Jira instance, reads its schema, helps you import the right data, and lets you work in a flexible spreadsheet* that syncs both ways. There’s also an interactive Gantt & Timeline view.

*Spreadsheet is a generous term for now. Formulas are still on the roadmap. As are many true “spreadsheet” features. But we’re working towards it.

Our roadmap is public, here: https://support.visor.us/visor-roadmap

And for VueJS devs, we eked out more performance from Vue 2 by modifying the core, documented here: https://www.reddit.com/r/vuejs/comments/u6tzv8/how_we_resolv...

For database geeks, you might enjoy learning about the realtime graph DB we built to power the product: https://blog.visor.us/cloudstore-part-1/

I’ve seen so many great companies start out by launching on HN. It’s quite a special personal moment finally to be sharing with you all.

I’m happy to answer questions, take criticism, and generally hear what you think.
In Hammond's defense, the IT guy was so good a child could use his work.
Within your own property lines (and mineral rights), away from all utility lines and easements, and done so as not to damage nor undermine any neighbor's property or structures, yes.

In short - either do it out in the country, or get appropriate permits.
I discovered a pretty neat alternative to cafes a few years back.

I like to go to the food court at my local shopping mall. It's pretty much empty during the day, has plenty of seating, different table heights, outlets, wi-fi, etc. Nobody will kick you out if you're not constantly sipping coffee, and you won't feel the pressure to keep buying stuff. As a bonus, there is a McDonalds often selling coffee for just $1. And when it's lunch time, well, there's a dozen restaurants to chose from!

This reminded me a novel by Chuck Palahniuk called 'Choke' which one of the characters is addicted to collecting rocks. He is already in the news and perhaps from now on some sort of 'cult' starts.
I really wish this board did away with flagging. It seems to just censor people far more than anything. I've had my own tech related submissions flagged because they obviously just piss someone off around here and it never gets unflagged or even reviewed from what I can tell. I know I am missing out on other people's content and opinions as well and I don't like having some self appointed "moral police" around here deciding that for me.
If I am playing games I look very interested at my screen. Hm, might give that a try in the next meeting.

But seriously, I dislike people that insist on cameras. I use it when talking to customers (I almost never do) or maybe if some of our partners has birthday. But otherwise I very rarely had a developer meeting where people use cameras with few exceptions. The focus is on the screen of someone anyway and I don't care if they are just wearing underpants. I wouldn't mind too much but maybe turning off the camera in that case is a good idea.
Very untrue. My Samsung Smart TV from 2017 has an Apple TV+ app available. My parent's Xfinity cable box has it as well. It's not as available as Netflix (I remember watching on my Nintendo DS) but it's certainly not limited to Android devices.

You can browse their list of supported devices from LG, Samsung, Panasonic, Amazon, Playstation, Xbox, Sony, Vizio, Roku. And then any devices without the app that support AirPlay 2 will work from your iPhone or iPad.

I'm not sure about that, I'm an atheist myself and I still find religious building beautiful. Even if there is no god there, and even if the buildings were ugly, they are filled with the feelings of lots of people. That is beautiful in itself. Just like I'm not really into sports, but the energy of a stadium is something beautiful to see, and very real. There's something special happening in those places. Same thing with an old house. Many people lived there. That's powerful.
Regardless of the method, boiling water puts a lot of moisture into the air.
If you are concerned with the maintainability of RegEx (i.e. "Now you have 2 problems"), do it via simple string parsing. It's more code, but it's readable by mere mortals.

If it has an @ sign, split at the @ sign.

If either string has a space or other invalid character, it's invalid. Yes, there are more invalid characters for the domain than the username (I would make the case the username should just be whitespace chars, and the @ sign).

If the second string doesn't have a dot in it, it's invalid.

Split the second string by dot. If the last string of that array is not a valid TLD, it's invalid. (I realize new TLD's are popping up these days, so this step may not be strictly needed)

Not being too strict is in your interest here. You avoid too many email bounces by allowing some things which may be bad but allowed in some email providers but not others. It's a case of "Perfect is the enemy of good enough".
We've gone full circle in JS-land already, and it will keep going. In circle...

Just to add a bit. This one:

> How can we create a more equitable financial system, where everyone has access to banking services?

Is a government mandate away. If you want it, got to the streets or call your representatives. In most countries, a simply executive decree is enough to get it.
So let's get this straight. You know nothing about this area and you assume the experts in it are wrong? Do you know what happens if you accidentally couple lines during one of the manufacturing steps? The wafer can, in the absolute worst case scenario, explode from super heating destroying not just the wafer but potentially the entire chamber it is in (any defect beyond what was designated as allowable by the design engineers means the chamber and everything in it is now scrap).

For somewhat obvious reasons, we have a vested interest in this never occurring. So we default to safety over speed. Meanwhile in the CAD world with 64-bit math not making it into OpenGL, they just wrote a library to do 64-bit math anyways on-top of or in parallel to OpenGL. They didn't switch away from 64-bit math, they just reduced its use where it isn't needed and kept it where it is needed. The semiconductor industry is full of absolutely brilliant engineers who know far too much about all of the problems and if they could use 64-bit instead of 128-bits for a data structure, they'd switch in a heartbeat to save massive amounts of compute time (and thus money).
This is how I found out a snippet of assembly code that can actually distinguished between a KVM hypervisor and most of today’s emulator.

Yeah, always embark with a few turtles, and save the turtle shells from the garbage pile, as an early strange mood can make or break a fortress (make it if they make something masterpiece you can display in the dining hall, break it if they can't get something like turtleshell and descend into madness triggering a tantrum spiral).
Apple keyboards are miserable. I don't know why people keep saying that it's so wonderful.

I have a Macbook pro I get from work and the keyboard on that thing is borderline unusable. With it's weird flat keys, no travel, and the elimination of function keys for this terrible GUI thing.

As an Emacs user I find the whole concept of a "touch screen esc key" as deplorable and regressive.

And this is on top of the poor reliability and high cost of repair.
Anything that uses standard mbox or maildir formats should be fine. I have mail going back across multiple operating systems and mailer programs since 1995; it has imported without a problem each time.

From 1986-1994 I used a bizarro lash-up to get email through UUCP, which imported the messages into a DOS BBS program to use as a reader. (I said it was bizarro...) The incoming mail was in standard UUCP format, and could have been imported into any common Unix mail program of the day, and thence propagated into the future. Fortunately the BBS mail datasets were plain text, and I can still read them, even if they're not as convenient as a normal mail reader. For that matter, I can still read them running the original 1986 BBS software in DOSEMU.
Historically, cafes were social forums where people gathered for hours at a time to read and converse. Maximizing absolute profit by optimizing customer throughput is the modern take. But that’s not what cafes are for and so you should not feel bad for forcing owners to understand their business and optimize for both profitability and the cafe experience.
> If the FSF changed their definition to something that made absolutely no sense, then sure

No.

The FSF does not have "their definition" of common words and phrases that predate them by decades.

This just doesn't belong to them. Period, full stop.

.

> A car is heavy. A car is a machine. A car is not heavy machinery.

That's nice.

This phrase meant what it said on its face for 30 years before Stallman showed up with an editor he stole and an operating system he stole.

He's not stealing the phrase, even though you can show compound terms that break down to unrelated simple sentences.

.

> It is unhelpful to deliberately make non-standard (i.e. incorrect) use of accepted terms.

Yep. And that's what the FSF did.

The term predates them by almost 40 years, and is mostly used by other people in ways that are incompatible with them.

As an issue of fact, GPL/LGPL/AGPL use by project count is now below 10% of free software licenses, and as an issue of fact, the other free software licenses that the FSF has decried "not truly free" continue to ignore them and chuckle.

And I see you, from the radical minority, insisting that your viewpoint is the standard, and accepted.

Not really, is the thing. There's evidence, and it does not support you.

I am not interested in an HN attempt to redefine terms either.

Underlying all of our financial transactions is debt. Even an ACH transfer is a very temporary debt in a network of trust. That's why people with "bad credit" can't get accounts at traditional banks. This hurdle does not exist in crypto.

I'm not suggesting crypto is some panacea, but it does eliminate this very important problem for people on the bottom of the economic ladder.
It reminds me of some audio software, when there's no license registered, it injects a burst of noise every 30 seconds.
"I'm continuously amazed that HN, a site full of smart people, can't seem to wrap its head around the fact that riding a bicycle on a road with a bunch of vehicles is _inherently_ more dangerous for the cyclist than it is for the driver."

i am personally in the reality camp and find cycling in traffic to be quite a bit more dangerous than being piloting a car
Apple the company constantly annoys the hell out of me on principle but the new M1 macbooks are pretty good.
If you are going to use someone else to front your service, take care to make sure that that (1) it cant even be accessed except via that front, and (2) that you dont leak your origin IP address or network, even if traffic to that origin is dropped from sources other than the service fronting it.

It would probably be prudent to withdraw all existing notices, never submit one again, and send donations to every single project you have ever sent a DMCA notice to, and do everything in your power to get all content re-instated, everywhere.

You aren't even really a content company, this is such a bad look. Your value is in your network of people, not in the content.

Without a discussion of how/why you thought this would be a good idea and how this has been happening on an ongoing basis, we can't really accept your apology.
What specific kinds of development are you doing? Enterprise CRUD software? SaaS? Data science? ML?

Just in review, I got a system 76 with pop os as the daily driver. I do a lot of ML and also game on it in my free time, so having a desktop 2080ti in a laptop chassis was nice.

However, a major complaint I have is battery life. It's not just the ridiculous GPU, it's also that linux is apparently shit when it comes to power management. If you want to mobile compute and apparently you do, you might consider a thorough investigation into battery life as a part of your requirements.

Mine is great as a mobile workstation machine, but the battery life prevents me from enjoying cafe style programming.

I question the idea that "more muscularity" = "more beating people up", be either on frequency or even aptitude.

Gym fitness is not a good preparation for fighting.

People who beat other people up are not the most muscular. They are the ones with the most anger issues and the most lack of empathy.

And no matter how big and strong I am, i'd run for my fucking life if some violence-loving psycho wants to fight me.
Certain activities do have a high level of risk acceptance by society. Sky diving includes the use of a large amounts of paperwork with an additional video recording of your accepting of said risks. On a visit to Hawaii, there are signs post that say if you continue past the sign, you are accepting there are risks involved that the state is no longer responsible for.

The accepted role of society seems to be that if you want to do risky things, we're going to make sure we're not liable.

There's a direct payoff for working 8 hours a day. We really don't know enough about this person's motivations to judge the health of his actions one way or another, but speculating a mental health angle isn't unreasonable. And yes, I'd say the same thing if someone cutoff all social contact and most time with their partner over a more mainstream hobby as well. MH issues aren't a given, but they're certainly on the table unless we learn more about this.
You can have democracy with less corruption. There is no reason why politicians should be in politics for the money.
My view is the same.

I'm a free speech absolutist. I'm not saying any word, phrase or idea should be illegal, no matter how repulsive I, or anyone else, find it.

There's no logical inconsistency here.

The notion that personally choosing to use inclusive language is "chilling to free speech" is ludicrous.
No, they were in English.
If you look at the comment from NortySpock in this there was a study to get a probe direct to Neptune and with a Falcon Heavy and extra kick stage it was "only" 3800 kg.

This is still an order of magnitude more than previous deep space probes (Voyager, New Horizons), but still not huge. It is still significantly smaller than something like our current geostationary communications satellites.
> ...the Log4Shell vulnerability only applies to log4j 2.x (so if you stayed with log4j 1.x, and didn't explicitly configure it to use a vulnerable appender, you were safe)

Seems like someone likes to live dangerously: using libraries that haven't been updated since 2012 is a pretty risky move, especially given that if an RCE is discovered now, you'll find yourself without too many options to address it, short of migrating over to the new release (which will be worse than having to patch a single dependency in a backwards compatible manner): https://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/changes-report.html

Admittedly, i wrote a blog post called "Never update anything" a while back, even if in a slightly absurdist manner: https://blog.kronis.dev/articles/never-update-anything and personally think that frequent updates are a pain to deal with, but personally i'd only advocate for using stable/infrequently updated pieces of software if they're still supported in one way or another.

You do bring up a nice point about the recent influx of vulnerabilities and problems in the Java ecosystem, which i believe is created by the fact that they're moving ahead at a faster speed and are attempting to introduce new language features to stay relevant and make the language more inviting for more developers.

That said, with how many GitHub outages there have been in the past year and how many other pieces of software/services have broken in a variety of ways, i feel like chasing after a more rapid pace of changes and breaking things in the process is an industry wide problem.

The unhealthy fixation on the so-called Great Replacement conspiracy theory purportedly occurring in US/Canada primarily, and to a lesser degree Europe is tedious and unimaginative to say the least.

The intellectual efforts need not to be invested not in proving/disproving this theory but on why the Anglo countries in the New World get to absorb all the migrants from the Old World (excluding Europe) when Central and South America should at least theoretically attract migrants when in practice that this in not the case, and to make matters worse they export migrants to other countries outside of that bloc because let's face it, the New World will always be fluid when it comes to the legitimate claim to the lands since all the nation-states in that part of the world are byproducts of the Age of Exploration.

These are the questions that should be investigated and researched and not some lunatic conspiracy theories that do more hard than good for the concerned people.
