I much prefer this line of thought to the sheer noise of modern computing.

Screens that change as they load, notifications every second, layout shifts, animations that serve no purpose, and more. It's driving me nuts to be honest.

I think there really is a space for computing that just exists around us, and interacts with the environment in ways you don't have to actively look at. As a plus, you'll save cycles for what you actually want to compute if you don't have to draw everything on a screen on top of 2000 layers of abstraction.
I agree that it is important to preserve these languages and have the same concern about the claim. I'm inclined to believe that it is experiencing the natural world that builds understanding. Expressing that understanding is separate from the understanding itself.

Amen. Due to reliability and lack of updates I don't use it anymore but Nintype was by far the best mobile typing experience I've had.
It’s not an interesting thought experiment. The finger on the button is no different than the toe on the gas pedal.

It's not a leading edge. It's just an edge. Porn existed as long as humans existed, and it still exists. It's not leading anywhere, it's just is, for people that need it. It's not new, and it doesn't by itself spell doom to anything - it has always existed on the edges. But let's not pretend it is some fundamental cultural achievement. It's just a lowbrow entertainment it always has been. Sometimes it is socially acceptable to consume it publicly, sometimes it isn't - but it's not leading anybody anywhere.
Is there a way to find out why a submission got flagged? For my first submission, I’ve submitted a BBC article about Elon’s bid for Twitter (after checking new/front page for duplicate) and it got promptly flagged. I don’t think I’ve broke any rules listed in this, so I’m not sure what I did wrong there.
Interestingly, full proverb is allegedly: "Jack of all trades and master of none, is oftentimes better than a master of one."

Being a generalist usually helps with two things:

a) It is a testament to your ability to get up to the speed on a different topic - vital in business world. Most businesses want to hire useful people who can find analogies and draw trends, with a curiosity for solutions outside a narrow sphere.

b) There is an implicit requirement to be curious and step out of your "comfort zone" in order to hit the ground running and get started on another domain. This makes you far more nimble, flexible, and open to new ideas and changes. Good for both life and work.

I have not lived in the US, and I'm not an economist, so this is annecdonte, not data.

1. Things are cheaper because there are fewer rich[1] people. It makes sense to price things to the level where you make a little for each sale but keep your market large.

There are intrinsically fewer people, which means less demand. A container of tin openers is still a container load to get rid of.

Of course selling for less means you make less, meaning the seller does not become richer than his customers.

There is also a massive difference in mindset between the US and everywhere else. In the US the only measure is money. If you have money, everything else flows from that, if you don't have money everything is harder.

Outside the US, money is still a driving force, but not to the same degree. There is less opportunity to be a billionaire, so the top is somewhat pushed-down, but at the same time the bottom is higher, and the safety net is better.

But we are all fish in water - we like what we know - Americans would not want to be Spain, and the Spanish would hate to be American. Europeans prioritize family time, vacations, shorter work weeks. Americans prioritize rich company owners. The latter allows for ordinary folk to become very rich. Or at least dream of it.

[1] rich in the sense that they have disposable income enough to afford your thing.
Well we know one thing about Rome. When sexual deviations reached the peak -> Rome collapsed and imperium was divided.

Was it because of deviations ? Who knows. They also had alot of issues going on in the meantime. But you are free to have own opinion based on histories available. I for sure have my own.

Also about Ancient Grece. „Meet my Spartans”..
Either way if the show plot has nothing more to offer, its just boring.
Look, if I wasn't a big fan of Paul Hogan and had to look up what you meant, I'd still put in the time to wiki all of it. And sometimes that's the whole point of using words in a certain way (as you did): to get people to reflect on the subtler shades of meaning. And that should be perfectly fine, because you're choosing the audience you want to address and how you want to address them. I don't understand half of Ulysses without reading the footnotes, but I don't expect I was supposed to. If you want people to ponder what you're saying or hear it in a certain poetic way, that's absolutely your prerogative, whether you're writing documents for an app or addressing Parliament. It's not as if Google is suggesting that dropping colloquialisms is a clearer way of communicating to more people for the sake of efficiency. They're essentially demanding uniform corpo-speak and trying to stop you from even using your own words in your own private docs. It's tyranny.
Git has "reset" in addition to "revert" (the former mutates history but the latter does not). What Mercurial has for removing the wrong commit?

For amend option - well, we switched to Git at time of Mercurial 2.1 (I said it was long time ago), did not notice they added this feature, sorry.
Agreed. Would be pleased if they were all deleted, automatically if possible.
>Summarization: Urbit is a reaction to Unix-driven software complexity that dominates modern software development.

I keep reading explanations about Urbit along these lines but what's perplexing about this explanation is Urbit does nothing to achieve this goal. Regardless of the fact that Urbit is referred to as an operation system it still isn't one. It relies on a conventional OS, often UNIX family OS's like Linux to run. Urbit just layers a new even more complicated software and networking stack on top of the 'Unix-driven software complexity' that still underpins Urbit. Urbit does nothing to address these problems, it just makes them worse. Urbit's underlying software stack (Nock, Hoon, etc.) is just bizarre and non-nonsensical. For example, this gem from the docs:

"A loobean is a Nock boolean - Nock, for mysterious reasons, uses 0 as true (always say "yes") and 1 as false (always say "no")."

Wat? Why?!? And it doesn't end there. Urbit is littered with these WTF design choices and terminology. No one in their right mind is going to build professional software solutions on a platform like this. You might as well just be developing software in something like Brainfuck.

I’ve been thinking about how NFTs are different from ordinary “costly” signals.

NFTs directly come with a price attached. An attached dollar value is the problem.

The difference between receiving an expensive ‘looking’ gift and and a gift with an expensive price tag attached.

Maybe I’m wrong, but being subtle about the effort/cost is a big part of these signalling. NFT skips all of that.
As appealing as remote work is, this is my worry. It’s one thing to compete with others who chose to relocate near Bay Area tech giants, another to live with high expenses but compete with the entire English-speaking world.

> a slightly inflationary currency offers the greatest good for the greatest number. It encourages people to _invest_ their money so it doesn't lose value.

>Deflationary currencies encourage people to _hoard_ money as a viable strategy, and the more people hoard, the more valuable it becomes.

What's the primary source for this theory?

I hear it espoused a lot but it seems counter-intuitive. People still have to buy food, shelter and clothing in a deflationary environment.

Maybe if I read the larger arguments in works that established the idea I can get a better grasp on it.
My in-laws bought us a cast iron outdoor pizza oven one year from Amazon. It probably weighed close to 200 lbs and they had to ship it twice because the first guy dropped it off the back of the lift on the truck while unloading it at our house. I don't know how much Amazon actually spent on our free shipping but they certainly lost money on the deal.
> The customer can fix bugs and make improvements. Better yet, while they pay, they can foist this off on the seller. What the customer could usually only hope for in the best case with open source—a timely response from a responsible person—they now get by right, under contract.

> If the seller drops the product, the customer can fork and maintain under fallback license. Or hire someone else to do it.

I don't see how a proprietary license can efficiently ensure these two properties without just being a open source license + service contract. I do agree that OSL + service contract is a useful type of license, but I think almost every other type of proprietary license for software is worse for the consumer.

I don't think you can in general "foist" improvements and bug fixes onto the developer; they still have the option to not implement the features you think are best. In fact if they have multiple clients there is a good chance they cannot even acting in good faith fulfill everyone's requests.

I haven't seen many contracts of this type, but I would suspect most licenses don't have a fallback license that allows multiple clients to choose to use a new company to maintain the product. This is one of the most important properties of OSL, it is easy to fork while still sharing maintenance costs.
Some finance forums come close, but they're heavily moderated, just like HN is.

Still, your point is a good one.
I agree and would be in favor of more heavy moderation on this. I strongly suspect HN will descend into a kind off reddit if this is not put a halt to. Curious to hear the views of the HN mods on this, but I expect they won't publicly engage in that discussion.
It's a similar situation in Germany. Overall costs are lower than the time I lived in the USA, the quality is much better (especially food and education), the infrastructure is head-and-shoulders above (especially the roads, internet, phone plans, environment, litter, buildings in general). Taxes at the end of the day are close enough compared to California. Plus all the city centers are car-free zones. And a medical procedure won't bankrupt you.

Team-BHP.

It's a car enthusiasts' website in India.

Their forums section[1] is phenomenal.

Their official new car reviews [2] page is thorough. There are owner-reviews of most cars as well [3] (like for instance there's a dozen owner reviews for the BMW X3).

There's no membership fee. You don't need to be a member to read the content; you have to be a member to post content though.

It does not do advertisements of cars themselves (and openly calls out manufacturers who approach them with rewards for favorable reviews) because they believe it's difficult to be critical of manufacturers after accepting money from them for ads.

However, there are ads for non-car products so you might want to keep your ad-blockers on :D

Their moderators have other proper day-jobs. Like, they're doctors, entrepreneurs/business-people, dentists, teachers, pilots, software engineers (!) and everything else under the sun. The reason I mention this is because this website isn't really a source of income for anybody.

Content is moderated heavily, and people in violation of their guidelines [4] are banned (as long as you're civil, use proper English, don't use swear words etc you'll be fine).

I think it's simply a reflection of the shift of how educated society engages with political topics. If it affects quality of life of humans, it is political. This has always been true, it's fundamentally the point of politics.

However, the effects on the QoL of many humans is not a concern to those of us who have the privilege to simply look away and not notice a difference to our own quality of life. This privileged demo has drastically shrunk (ie, politics directly and noticeably impacts the QoL of far more people) today, mostly because the rest of the people have deservedly been given more of a voice. Policy in its present state can mean the difference between life and death for many people who happily steered clear of "politics" 5 years ago, and talking about it is an option for people who were silenced and closeted 10 years ago.

Even those of us who wilfully try to plug their ears and come up a system of rules and restricted topics that are "political" and "to be avoided" will find it incredibly hard to enforce, because someone or other will break the rule, and it's physically impossible for everyone else to keep their peace until a moderator brings the banhammer.

The world is going through shared turmoil right now and politics is naturally a first stop to look for society-level resolutions, or at least adjustments to existing rules to improve QoL.
> Although allowed by the spec, it would be very surprising for an implementation to clear a WeakRef at a different time than it calls the FinalizationRegistry callback. (Or did we end up requiring it to be in the same tick? I can't remember. There's some restriction, maybe because the finalizer could check whether the WeakRef target is still there and you wouldn't want them to disagree?)

The spec says that both clearing WeakRefs and scheduling finalization callbacks should happen at the same time: <https://tc39.es/ecma262/#sec-weakref-execution>. Of course, since that is merely ‘scheduling’, this means the callback can actually execute in some indefinite future, including never; the callback might as well be scheduled for AD 2101, with the runtime shut down long before then. It has to be done that way, because collection may happen in the middle of execution, but finalization callbacks cannot possibly interrupt it.

The bigger problem with the spec is that when an object becomes eligible for finalization in the first place is… not at all obvious: <https://github.com/tc39/ecma262/issues/2650>.
Twitter completely banned The Babylon Bee for this [1] article/joke. This is among countless other similar decisions on their part. In this case Elon Musk even contacted them (The Babylon Bee) before starting his current crusade, because the ban there is so overtly political.

As Noam Chomsky said, "The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum."

The reason I give that quote is because you're not wrong. In other topics you can express all of the absolutely vile and hateful things one might like, all while acting like an absolutely horrible person. So just stop making fun of the political ideology largely espoused by the political establishment and corporate elite, and you'll have no problems. It will be quite interesting to see how history ultimately records the times of today.

> It does seem that a young male already immune due to having had Covid (...)

There is no such thing as "already immune due to having had COVID".

Unvaccinated individuals were observed to have far higher reinfection rates than vaccinated individuals (over 5-fold higher chances).

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/reinfe...

> (...) would be best advised not to get an mRNA vaccine.

This assertion is not only entirely baseless but also completely ignores the fact that a) unvaccinated individuals are a couple orders of magnitude more likely to die from COVID, b) the myocarditis issue pinned to vaccines is benign and transitory, and estimated to be at most less than 5 cases per 100 000 vaccinnees.

The idea that Tcl was a toy came from the 90s and the Tcl Wars Stallman was involved with. But to Stallman, anything other than Lisp is pretty much a toy. Tcl is indeed a deep, deep rabbithole -- again, deeper than our dimension allows and lined with toothed cilia... but I can totally see where a person might look in Tcl's deadlights and want to be there.
I believe anyone with a high enough karma can flag submissions, so it might not be that rule-enforced. It won't get banned or hidden unless a moderator is involved, who probably follows a set of rules. I'm not sure at what point the [flagged] tag is added to the submission.
If I knew I would be buying shares in it.

One of the most valuable skills of our times is to specialize in being a generalist.

We have to continuously shape-shift to learn new programming languages and paradigms, frameworks and networks.

Take blockchain as a random example, you need to understand the Ethereum chain and learn Solidity to write smart contracts, and you'll have to learn Rust and familiarize yourself with the Solana network if you want to write programs for Solana.

The worlds of machine intelligence and blockchain are moving so fast that we have to either choose a niche and assume we'll miss out on mostly everything else, or learn how to quickly catch up on new things.

I think an in-between point works. You want to either sharply focus on one thing or focus on different things, sharply, in sprints.

Trying to catch up with every single new thing isn't productive unless you want to stay on the surface of everything.

There's only time for a few deep dives.

What are you basing this on? Have you had any substantial interaction with Chinese engineers? I'm asking because I worked for a well known Chinese behemoth for nearly 6 years and my experience doesn't match your assertion.
Basically, looking at the target of a WeakRef makes it ineligible for collection until at least the next await, which the spec mandates by way of the [[KeptAlive]] list. This is meant to prevent TOCTOU bugs by foolish programmers doing this:

if (weakref.deref()) {
/* garbage collection here */
use(weakref.deref());
}
