I really, really wish Apple would release an official way to run arbitrary older versions of their OS in VMs. They have a hypervisor and have for a long time, but using it to run an older OSX/macOS version is very much a DIY thing. It'd be hugely helpful for people supporting software, who need to test on older versions and maybe even to occasionally compile an important bug fix for something that's now "ancient".

It's arguable that Musk is doing the first two things you mentioned with his social media antics, just in an incredibly gonzo way. And perhaps he's achieving the third as well, by cultivating a cult of personality. A CEO doesn't have to make everyone believe that, just enough people.
How devoid of intelligence it is to consider this manufactured divide as the reason things may fall apart. The group of mass media big-shots is extremely cohesive, as per this author's own perception of integration. Yet they fuel both sides without a single care about whether this may cause things to fall apart, and they're not wrong, which becomes clear if you actually look at the world and try to understand it instead of just absorbing mass media without practicing intellectual self-defense.

Our eyes are being averted from the actual problem, because it's believed that the more we look at it, the worse it becomes. I reject this anti-intellectualism, therefore present you why everything is actually falling apart.

The more humanity advances, the more we lack eros (loosely love for things we do not have) and the eros we have becomes weirder or outright bizarre. As this happens, we lose hope, that's the fatal hit. For example, access to porn has demonstrably been extremely detrimental to sex. For every passion we lose, we lose hope or replace it with a fetish. When we lose a healthy passion for clothes, we stop caring about what we wear or (more common in the west) become fetishized with bizarrely priced brands. When we lose passion for work, we stop caring about the future entirely (common in the third world) or become parasitical bureaucrats. It all adds up and often materializes into drug abuse. For an extreme example, look up the catalytic converter gangs in Kinshasa [0]. This loss of hope is monotonically increasing globally, and the manufactured divide has nothing to do with it. In fact our elites believe a little infighting and polarization may be good, as extremists are generally hopeful when they see things going their way, and more traditional solutions like education don't seem to be working these days. I don't think this theory has a name yet.

Blender 3D might be one of the more well-known success stories in that regard. Godot game engine also perhaps? Gotta be more'n a few others as well, I'm sure. Those are just two that instantly come to mind for me (being a couple of my favorites that were both closed source at one time in their history and have gone on to massive and continual success since their open sourcing).
I misparsed that as "American beef consumption is significantly reducing the commercial viability of an AMZN project named "Amazon Today," and was surprised when I clicked.

I guess it was a combination of us being on HN right now and the fact that I apparently downregulate how much signal I expect to get from English grammar rules when reading text written by strangers on the Internet. I certainly don't see any problems with your grammar upon re-reading.

I wonder if I would have correctly parsed "...published a big story on how American beef consumption is actively destroying the Amazon"?
It's buried in the article, but I think the suggestion is "use almost any language other than Go" rather than Rust specifically.

The takeaway - if you gloss over the ranting and look for the good bits - seems to be that you should choose a language that handles a lot of the boilerplate for you (e.g., no verbose error handling) and has FFI.

It's not a bad argument, and it's making me think about how and when I use Go. For that, at least, it's worth reading.
Yes, longer fridge life is a nice benefit. I have some heavy cream for baking, but use soy milk fine in most sweet recipes.

There's more variation in alternative milks, even within one type, than cow milk. We're mostly soymilk (bean milk, the kids call it), but it took a little while to find one that didn't feel chalky or weird. Happily it's the store brand that's $2 a half gallon. Settled on soy creamer, which is not as thick as dairy creamer but next best thing among non-dairy that tastes good.

With you on cheese! It's what makes plant burgers taste good.

I can appreciate your point about having limited resources to moderate posts that have a track record of generating big flamewars. But I didn't get the impression from the comments (many being ad-hominem) that the post was flagged for that reason and my use of the word "shameful" was directed at those comments.
Super cool! I've been planning integrating https://runops.io/ to VSCode for a while and most of the delay is related to having to write Javascript. I like your wrapping of the VSCode js API.

> I'm not sure why choice of programming language is such a heated topic.

I think there are two reasons.

First, languages live or die by their ecosystems. If you love a language, it's very much in your interest for other people to use it, so they write code that you can use.

Second, most programming happens at work. Most people don't get to choose what programming language they write at work: they're locked into whatever choice somebody else made. The more popular your language is, the more likely that choice is to be made in your favor (or alternatively, the easier it'll be to find a job where that choice has been made in your favor). If I want to write Idris at work, well, tough luck.

Both of these are largely zero-sum, which makes things worse. It's not 100% zero-sum, in that if you manage to light a passion for <language> in somebody they might write code (in that language) that might not have been written at all. But mostly language evangelism won't change the total number of programming hours per year (or the number of available programming jobs), so all that's left is to fight over who gets how much.

So if you care a lot about which programming language you write, I don't think it's odd to come at it from combative angle: it's a fight! Some will lose and some will win, so you better try and be one of the winners.
I found this really interesting. I remember in a previous job, I moved to a lower cost of living city in the same state. My employer told me about about how they were considering lowering my salary because of this. They weren't billing any less for my time. I wasn't any less productive.

I got out of there soon after and found a better place in the new city.

Yes and: Decreasing costs seems to accelerate winner-takes-all outcomes.

We technoptimists thought that improved production, distribution, discovery, and consumption would lead to a better signal-to-noise. We were wrong. Sure, we got a lot more content. But now anti-information dominates.

Why? Some scattered notions:

I guess we didn't anticipate the attention economy, how an over abundance in content (opinions) would create a scarcity of attention (deliberation).

I definitely didn not anticipate automating the hate machine with recommenders. (Parisi's filter bubble thesis was a near miss.)

And I was totally ignorant about rent seeking, financialization, and usury. How our economy's transition from manufacturing to services would accelerate inequity. The resulting anxiety is a huge part of our current hysteria.

Ask HN: Useless skills that you have and wish others would appreciate?
EXAMPLE 1:

I customize and automate my workflow a lot. Basically I mod and tinker everything that I use to make it work differently and sometimes better. I write scripts that automate boring stuff, and Word VBA macros are my thing.

EXCEPT that nobody gives a $h!t about such skills. In my job, 99.9% of people just use what's available and don't bother changing things to make their workflow more convenient.

EXAMPLE 2:

Through practice and learning from the best speakers, I've improved my presentation skills over the years. From the moment I create a PowerPoint slide to the moment that I deliver the presentation. I create super advanced and professional slides and am confident when talking about my content in front of an audience.

EXCEPT that most people in my job (academia) don't even notice all the hard work that goes into my presentations and all the details. Their slides are either simple Beamer Latex, or $h!tty PowerPoint slides using Calibri as the default font, not symmetric, no attention to aesthetics whatsoever. And their presentations are super boring and not at all engaging or exciting.

I've been thinking about where/how I can put my skills in good use. I FEEL LIKE I'M NOT APPRECIATED for any of such skills.

PS: Maybe I shouldn't've used "useless" in the title, but by useless I mean not useful enough in your job to get you appreciated.

The conversations I’m in are not simply focused on brain trauma; the resource cost of hauling around teams and gear is substantial. Conversations at homes on “Main Street” are more frequently referring to multiple reasons for a decision, not reducing it to one or another.

Same goes for traditions like coin and paper money; they consume a lot of stuff and energy. That’s become a repeated talking point when polling people why they are interested in crypto, which was unexpected.

The data models I’m asked to build include more than just opinion polls though, as it’s felt by the folks I work with opinions are biased by media, anxiety of going against the grain, and frankly, lack of imagination and considering alternatives on the part of the public.

See a quote commonly attributed to Adam Smith about extreme division of labor resulting in humans dumber than animals; there’s no exploration across contexts; a farmer is a farmer and that’s it. Proper Anglo tradition of staying in lanes dictated by aristocracy.

You should read the actual text of the law. It's directed to "instruction" on "sexual orientation" or "gender identity." It's meant to prevent an off-hand mention of someone's same-sex spouse from turning into a discussion of sexual attraction and sexual orientation.

It appears you may not have read the bill either. It does not prevent sexual education to kids (if it stated that, it wouldn't have been that overly controversial). But that isn't what it says. It states it prohibits "discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in primary grade levels or in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students". That is a very important distinction from what you are saying. Sexual education is not prohibited, as long as it avoids discussing those two topics.

The other important distinction is that it is not just primary grade levels impacted, it is all levels (note the "or"s).

> "When it comes to Oatly... It tastes good, but that's because it contains plenty of sugars."

Absolutely, but that's also true of cows milk. The sugars in oat milk are a bit simpler (primarily maltose rather than lactose), which gives a lower glycemic index, but the total sugar content isn't much different.

Either way, if you compare them to something like fruit juice or full-sugar soft drinks, the sugar content is still pretty low.

"Getting this right" is a matter of opinion, and either way, rust can be installed a variety of ways. Your argument is literally nonsensical and demonstrates a seriously arrogance and lack of familiarity with what you're talking about.

With 500+ comments I doubt anyone will read this - and please don't - but "it happened before and we survived, so it's going to be okay" doesn't really resonate with me. We survived perhaps the bloodiest period of European history, where people set about to exterminate each other based on religion. Catholics in England weren't really given their full rights back until after the 1920s. And the schism in Christianity was like the Tower of Babel. So I'm not any more sanguine about the future after a the author brings up what became about 300 to 400 years of very bloody and repressive sectarian violence as a ... as a way to say it's going to be okay? Holy shit! If it's anything like the protestant-catholic sectarian fighting in Europe, it's going to be hell.

>> The researchers also created a smartphone app that can control the unit wirelessly and report real-time data on power consumption and water salinity.

No no no no. I was all onboard with this seemingly wonderful product until I hit that line. The things that provide fresh water, that actually enable life functions, should NEVER involve controller aps. Switches. Dials. Positive on/off switches. Maybe the occasional touchscreen. But please do not put the need for a working/charged/connected cellphone between the user and their source of fresh water.

And they say that this thing uses about as much power as a cellphone charger. Wrong. It requires the power of a cellphone charger to filter water, plus a second charger to power the cellphone running the app.
I'm not vegan but my teenage daughter is, and I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it's been to remove most dairy from my diet. I was extremely skeptical when it came to things like ice cream, but Ben and Jerry's has non-dairy versions of a bunch of their best flavors, and I now actually prefer them. When it comes to liquid milk alternatives, IMHO Califia original unsweetened almond milk is the tastiest option, but Oatly makes good stuff too.

I heard a convincing argument (tho citation needed, I guess) that veal meat is usually sourced from dairy cows' male offspring. And the idea of keeping dairy cows in a state of perpetual pregnancy is kind of off-putting too.

YMMV, but for my family, the health benefits, and animal welfare / humane farming concerns, and viable (tasty!) alternatives, were enough to make the switch an easy decision. Adding climate change impact and I feel even better about it.
When the far left calls Trumpists fascist they are generally referring to the far right's current objective of overruling elections and installing a theocratic theocracy under Trump where white males are in charge across the board.

Few people remember that Trump likely won the nomination due to "cross-over" voters in states with open primaries. There was an organized effort by Democrats to cross-vote for him as the Republican candidate under the belief that he couldn't possibly defeat Hillary Clinton in the actual election.

I don't know if there is a way to determine whether or not that effort actually succeeded, but it did exist and was spoken about with great pride until Trump became the President.
I wonder if they're referring to cases where the hyphenation opportunities differ for words with different meaning but identical spelling. In some cases, the meaning (and hence the accenting, and hence the hyphenation) can only be derived from context, as with "present", which can be hyphenated "pre-sent" or "pres-ent".
It's bad for the people living there for the same reason city councils don't allow hotels to be built anywhere.

Short term rentals aren't a bad thing in of itself, but the purpose of zoning is that different locations serve different needs better. When you live in a neighborhood you expect there to be elementary schools near your house, and that there's quiet hours so that you can sleep during the night. ect.

Hotels and by extension air bnb's disrupt this balance. If the five condo towers surrounding the school suddenly become short term rentals overnight, either the school needs to move or kids have to travel farther. And no amount of police presence is going to make tourists not party during 1 am. You tell one group to stop, well the next is coming in 3 days.

And it goes the other way too. Having night life congregated together makes it easier for public services to their job. You can have more paramedics prepared for overdoses - enhanced police presence because drunk people are stupid, ect.

Even if air bnb's aren't a net negative on the economy, skirting of local regulations have qualitative effects on the the city that shouldn't be discounted.
We need to be very, very hesitant about identifying trends we see on social platforms, because most social platforms are highly optimized to show us the trends we want to see.
Presumably you're referring to this report: https://www.resourcepanel.org/reports/global-resources-outlo...

"The extraction and processing of natural resources has accelerated over the last two decades, and accounts for more than 90 per cent of our biodiversity loss and water stress and approximately half of our climate change impacts."

This includes farming, as well as extraction of fossil fuels, minerals etc. In fact, the climate change impact of farming (biomass extraction) is about the same as fossil fuel extraction, according to that study.

Here's a guardian article about the report (but the official summary is also very readable): https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/mar/12/resource...

No, no one is harmed when one uses content for which one has an appropriate license. Of course, some people might make less money, but that doesn't constitute "harm" in any meaningful way (they also make less money than if I donated my entire disposable income, but no one would argue that this is "harm" [although I don't want to give the RIAA any ideas...]) and indeed they should be pricing that into the sales of any given media (it's already insane that we give copyrights for 70 years after the lifetime of the artist).

On the other hand, the DMCA harms me by limiting my right to use content for which I legally hold the appropriate license.
