That is a good way to think about a lot of aspects of society. For the forest to remain healthy old trees need to die to make room for the new trees just waiting for enough sun to sprout from seed. After a tree falls, the patch of new trees compete to be the next old tree to fill the space. As the years go on hundreds of saplings become dozens and eventually one as the slow growers get shaded out.
Y'all need to get out more often! ;)

Yes, Spring Boot is very popular, but there is a whole world of Java outside Spring, even if you confine yourself to just web apps (which is far from the only domain in which Java is used).
Haha, another in the genre of "the cut-off is exactly what I did - any less / any more and you're worse":

- I moved in to this place back in X. All the people after me are transplants and ruining the place.

- I stayed for X months. All these people who stay less than X are terrible.

- I drive a car of size X. All these people who drive a car of size > X are terrible.

I like these points:

* We engineered away stability for JIT

Yep. It would not kill us to recognize that globalization went 20% too far, and that supply chains in the US is good for us. We also have to deal with the fact that job loss v. cheaper goods has gone too far too. We need to swing back to a more US focused economy. Ex: I recently ordered brakes from a US company. They were out of stock of my model. I asked when it'd be back in stock. They said their suppliers didn't have the stuff. We're talking car parts: aluminum rotors, metal calipers, brake pads. We're not talking chips. Apparently this US brake company is just an importer and paper-pusher.

I think we also need to recognize that almost all real gains since 1985 have gone to the top 5%. Seen locally or tactically year-on-year that's not per se the rich's fault. But it nevertheless needs a course correction. Cheaper medical, education, housing is what other 95% could use. Congress is a part of the problem here too being more aligned with corporations instead of the middle class.

> Imagine buying a condo and all of the units around you are AirBnBs

All of my recent research into condos showed any building where this could be an issue has explicit prohibition on short term rentals as part of the HOA. The more egregious HOAs even have prohibition on long-term rentals without a permit which can be denied by the HOA.
+1
I was also curious when it comes up :) Glad it did explicitly, eventually :) (It would have been one of my first ones, too, but I first wanted to make sure to have more wishes :D)
Yes, that's right, I think. In the UK we have parliamentary sovereignty. As I understand it, no law and no court can stop Parliament from doing what it wants to do because every UK law can be amended by Parliament and every court merely applies those laws. (Courts may also apply international laws in some cases but the UK laws take priority and could override any foreign law.)

The UK's Constitution is utterly terrible. In many places if you tried to implement something similar it would probably self-destruct very quickly. The UK manages to keep going with it (not brilliantly, but society hasn't completely collapsed yet) only because there is a strong democratic culture. That's my theory, anyway.
That's also dependent on your headphones. I might have shitty earbuds today, but in the future when I might have 3D "puts the sound directly into your brain" phones, I might tell the difference
There is this weird disconnect going on in this article and therefore the HN comments. The author's first sentence is, "I don’t code much in Objective-C these days but one thing I miss about it compared to Swift is how nil works." He's not just saying "this part of Obj-C's nil is good", he's saying, "this part is good even compared to Swift", which makes no sense because his "before" example in the before-and-after is Obj-C, and not Swift. The HN comments then proceed to enumerate the advantages of modern handlings of null, of which Swift is a prime example. The author's lack of clarity is understandably causing this.
>If anything increasing funding, establishing new training on de-escalation

Glad you said new and not more. Police months of training so calls for more trainings is like when politicians call for change, same thing said every time.

Part of the problem is SOME of the people who go in to policing are not there to de-escalate. They just have the wrong attitude, can't train that out of them. There are also those who just don't have the thick skin necessary. If you can't lets stupid comments roll off your back, then you should not be hired.
> I hope you're not in favor of "safe shoot-up sites"

Why? Is having compassion some sort of vice? Am I sinning when I look at people who for whatever reason make self-destructive choices and pick the empathic option?
If you like Fedora's default Gnome, probably.

If you're a KDE user, Fedora isn't friendly at all. And you'll still have to have all the Gnome binaries to support the Fedora tools that are Gnome-only.
If you think the US should be doing more the shelter people without adequate shelter it should do so directly. Creating market distortions that purposely reduces the value of property and discourages production of the good is not the way to go. That would be like banning expensive restaurants because they're running up rent on inexpensive restaurants and soup kitchens. After all, desert is way lower on the hierarchy of needs than basic sustenance and food is not a need that the US is adequately meeting even for its middle class

>Teaching happens in every interaction a child has in life.

Which means that having a law that says teaching human sexuality can't happen is impossible to do without turning the teachers into uncaring robot like beings.

They could have banned the teaching of sexually explicate material but they chose not to.
> I made sure to check all the headers in the original message, and everything looked correct

Headers are a bad heuristic for discerning sketchy emails I've found, since they're a garbled mess & hard to make sense of without some specialized tool, and clearly Gmail doesn't understand the headers either and had a false positive.

I imagine because the from address being `accounts@firefox.com` probably raised some flags since there's obviously some ongoing phishing campaign to takeover Firefox accounts, that you're unaware of, until now.

The problem is if it doesn’t quickly blow up, but instead silently corrupts data or causes other problems down the line that are hard to backtrack to that specific missing check.

Effective altruism bugs me because I think money itself is mischievous. (See Marx's idea of "alienation".)

If you directly make the change you want to make in the world you make the change you want in the world.

If you make a big pile of money and then distribute it through philanthropic organizations the primary effect is that you continue all the tendencies that money promotes: both through your work and through philanthropic organizations that are themselves money-oriented.

There are numerous criticisms of the old philanthropy (e.g. why should some rich guy fund ballet performances that people don't really want, shouldn't ordinary people, either themselves or through their government, have more money to spend on what they want?) and the new philanthropy (the Gates foundation does some useful things in Africa but by taking over roles that governments should be doing they continue the trend of ineffective, corrupt government.)
Immigration law is the moat you’re looking for
There's an alternative to only on motorways and never on motorways: sometimes on motorways.

90% of the time you can use ordinary roads, with autonomous driving acting like a normal truck, giving the meat bags plenty of space. The most congested 10% you can build restricted access paths only for your smart trucks where they can act more like a train, with minimal spacing, increasing the traffic capacity of the road/tunnel/bridge/whatever so the extra cost of constructing it pays off sooner and/or it's cheaper in the first place because it's not built for drivers so doesn't need to be as safe.
The part of the law that people refers to as “Don’t say gay” goes as is:

Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.

Whether this can be reasonably interpreted as “don’t say gay” is an exercise left to the reader
good to hear the improvements! dont know why you would be downvoted for this. HN really has fallen from grace.
In this case, congress is not limited. There is a clear way out, the state buys out the bond holders and eliminates the debt. They just can’t dissolve the district without addressing the debt. The cost to do this is said to be 1B. And given the many more billions Disney has poured into the infrastructure and the fact it will continue to use the municipal utilities providing a cash stream, it doesn’t seem unrealistic or unfair to me. (Not to mention the massive tourism benefit this deal has provided to the state)

The issue seems to be that there is not enough political will to use 1B of Florida’s budget to make this happen, not that there is any prohibition on them doing so.
It's such a pity development rolled off. Very bold paper.

How you communicate is sometimes more important than what you communicate. How you communicate can detract from what you communicate. How you communicate allows the reader better grasp what you communicate.
Commercial, perpetually licensed software isn’t always free of future cost. Even if it’s only $50 today, you might also be on the hook for:

* Mandatory upgrades when v1 ceases to receive security patches.

* Mandatory upgrade of dependencies when a new version drops support for, e.g. an old OS version.

* Having to buy a replacement anyway when the vendor walks away from supporting the software (and why wouldn’t they? They’re not being paid any more).

* Or alternatively, the vendor doesn’t walk away from support, but charges you for it (effectively becoming SaaS anyway).

* The cost of running your own hardware to run the software. Dropbox is the obvious example of this - redundant offsite storage hardware is a hassle that you can outsource with the SaaS option.

Just so you understand me, I have basically zero expectation that anyone is going to choose "my favorite blockchain" for their next big project and send the price soaring. It's just not going to happen.

With that out of the way, what stops the government from implementing their own CBDC and saying "tax revenues SHALL be paid downstream via the US-CBDC Token" and requiring approved vendors to implement it for their US-Gov Receivables? This seems very likely to happen. I would actually bet on it.

You're telling me on one hand, the problem is solved (example TLS) and on the other hand, I need to be realistic about my expectations, since it doesn't solve the whole problem... which seems to indicate to me that your solution is actually not solving the problem you expected me to have, which is there is no effective or continuous transparency about how much money our institutions have in-flight and where it's going or gone, and there is no sponsored route for institutions to "opt in" to such transparency and actually enforce it permanently.

That's what the blockchain is for.

What's un-fixably wrong with the blockchain solution exactly? I fully expect this US-CBDC is going to look nothing like I wanted my blockchain to look (it won't be in any way decentralized at all, it will have some government-sponsored "oracles" instead of user-sponsored nodes, so that it will be a blockchain in name and in function, but you won't be able to mine it, and it won't be "ours" – it might actually go on Ethereum, but I doubt it will and I definitely won't hold my breath. It will probably be super green for the environment, whatever it is.)

So how can you simultaneously believe this is a solved problem, which can't be solved, and yet already has been solved by Blockchain (but we don't need it?)
*wasn't :D Yes, yes, cue the Freudian jokes.
The language Forth ("fourth" but that's one of these stories where the filesystems of the seventies didn't allow free naming) also refers to hardware evolution, but in the mind of its author it was about hard disks, which for sure were a revolution compared to punch cards and tapes.
That's kinda the point though, that heat is doing work anyway, and they may not have the ability to use/install a heat pump. Of course it would be more efficient, but for example, my condo has three separate electric wall heaters. Instead of using them, we just rely on our computers to heat our space enough. Works until it is about 4-5C outside.

Someday if I ever get to build a custom house, I plan to install a full 42U rack that is tied into the houses central air to optionally heat the house with the waste heat.
Could you still pursue that route? Presumably it's never too late, especially as you've got a product already, and have demonstrated traction.
Yes — I believe in democratic societies where if a majority feels something is dangerous, they have a right to make policy around that issue.

I also believe in constitutional republics where we have overriding laws which protect minorities — but that doesn’t apply in this case, as there isn’t an inherent right to discuss sex with other people’s young children.
We're told at the end of the piece that the author "is an attorney based out of Maitland, Fla., with a practice concentrating on local government-related matters."

It would be nice to know if he's represented either Disney, the state of Florida or a relevant Florida county at any particular time. (Or all the time!) Being a paid advocate for one of the players doesn't disqualify him from talking. In fact, it might make his assessment even more valuable. But I do wish BloombergTax had offered a more informative ID.
I always thought that the open ability to perform damaging speech against institutions and public figures in the west was “cool” — a major distinguishing factor between free countries and non-free ones. But I was also always a little skeptical of that ability. It seemed ok in small doses, just to prove we can do it.

Now we’re grappling with the full import of nonstop destructive speech coming from all sides and being amplified and mass-distributed. Nonstop shit talking and denigrating of our systems is what’s causing this drastic loss of confidence in them. Any imperfection will be amplified to where it looks like a total failure.

Ah, so it's the editor war we are fighting here? =)
I disagree. There is an inherent risk that dumbing down or abstracting away the complexities of the science to have an appropriate discourse on appropriate policy action creates blowback but trying to create a system that accounts for the complexities of the science would just cause infinite headaches.

The business mechanism to try and solve this needs to be simple and relatively clear and should align with the science. The general population doesn't have the time or capabilities to understand the complexities. I am not saying hide the complexity - I am just saying don't have it in the forefront of the policy decisions - and don't constantly change the regulatory mechanism unless it is grossly misaligned with the science.

I am glad you think the average person has the same capability to understand the problems and has taken environmental science engineering programs - I feel much better about that.
You have no right to control who comes into your home. This idea has deep ugly roots (e.g. mass incarceration).
And to your point, the exact text is:

> Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.

Discussions on gender identity and sexual orientation are the only topics outlined as not allowed.

Actual sex education (whether it's the act itself, topics on puberty, etc.) seems to still be on the table.

What is your threat model that isn't solved by some combination of a rust-toolchain file and using your package manager (nix or whatever) to install rustup?

If you want to isolate your build machines from the internet entirely, you're either going to use a hermetic build system and have some equivalent of vendoring your compiler, or manage your own internal package repository in which case you can just add your own Rust + Cargo build to it.

If you're paranoid about building the Rust compiler from source, you can even put in the effort into bootstrapping your own lineage. But given that you're ok relying on your package manager for Haskell, it seems like this isn't a huge problem for you.
As ammending 1001.42 §8, Paragragh (c)3: "Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards."

This seems to pretty straightforwardly say that schools can't talk about the existence of gay or transgender people in K-3, or ever if it's not "age appropriate or developmentally appropriate"... according to standards that the state gets to set.

Hmm, depends what you mean. In some sense all life is striving for happiness.

I’m sure that if I pick one thing that is supposed to make me happy, it will probably not do that. It’s like thinking a software rewrite can fix your problems.

Ask for good software, not the opportunity to rewrite everything in Rust.

I’m currently focusing on my sports for happiness. But I’m also fairly sure that if I asked the Genie to make me an amazing sportsperson to make me happy, I’d find it disappointing.

Thank you, out of all of the comments, I think yours is the best model for what is happening. The anti-woke sentiment coming from the rich is about keeping the members of the working class from discovering their own divinity. Specifically, that the miracle of creation and their own consciousness dwarfs any material value.

That misalignment in perception is what lets people be ok with profiting from another's labor, or hurting people for material gain, or having more wealth than a thousand/million/billion people. Pure free will, intelligence without wisdom or empathy for oneself on another timeline, is the stuff of nightmares.

The relevance of this is that we're doomed to keep reliving these timelines over and over, stuff like JKF's assassination, 9/11, pandemic, etc, until we wake up and realize that feeding our ego feeds these systems of control. Which separate us further from the divinity of the universe/creation/aliens/god or whatever name we want to assign to the source of meaning (love).
