The sub has stickies with pretty convincing evidence of the breed being dangerous. The posts by users mostly seem to be either news stories of someone getting attacked by pitbulls, users sharing their frustrations related to pitbulls and/or their owners, and a few social media screenshots where users claim that the way the dogs' owners behavior is unsafe.

Even if some users comment that the dog is dangerous based on how it looks, that doesn't refute the trove of evidence that pitbulls can be an inherently unsafe breed compared to non-fighting breeds.
> It's just not a good impedance match to my brain.

I think that's the answer to every language war ever. "To my brain." If you claim "X is easier to understand", you get a war. But if you claim "for my brain, X is easier to understand", that's a lot harder to have a war about. All someone can reply is "well, my brain is different", which... OK, your brain is different. Fine. (Or someone could claim that nobody could actually have a brain such that X is easy to understand, at which point it's pretty clear who the unreasonable zealot is.)

In fact, I think this is also the answer to the editor wars. It may even be the answer to the political wars.
Thanks! I loved this one of a guy fixing a 70’s(?) suitcase: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRzy7LJXYVg He has a huge workshop full of suitcase parts, so must do many per workday at a guess. Serious skills - I loved the careful masking of the existing stickers when he repainted it. Although he did leave the castors on when spray painting, which seemed odd to me.

And this guy is fixing kitchen graters (although for a short moment they show him making new ones too). Perhaps used by chefs, since it looks like he has about 5 of the same type to fix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_XeZZkff0g Although they show a lady at the end opening the mail for her fixed one. Made from copper, and I guess he is puts a zinc coating on it (over a charcoal fire no less!)

I wish I understood Japanese so I could get more of the context.

There is no need for ssh’ing or recompiling.

For embedded I just give a bin file with everything in it. Use your favorite flashing tool.

For the rest, I can make an installer right from the ide. You know, the kind of 3 click installers the whole world is used to in 2022. An installer I can give grandma. Huge success from the 90’s.

Or maybe redistribute my program with a mobile app market. I can do that from my ide too!

Or maybe I’ll just handle a zip file with everything in it.

I’m afraid you can’t see it’s YOU who are in a niche, and not the other way around.
> In our case, we still felt this decision was justified because we don't have to recreate a scheduler with all the complexity of React's; we can build a small, self-contained implementation that only implements what we need.

I wish there were more details about this. Implementing a small scheduler seems like a monumental task and I'd love to learn more about how to implement a base-case.

I think there was a lot more novelty and shock/awe in amazing new things when we didn't have youtube channels and social media of every new thing immediately poring over ever detail of it.

For instance, when ID first released DOOM to the Internet and BBSes it was something you discovered on your own and among your local community of people who had network access and a PC capable of running it, there weren't hundreds of youtube channels playing full-1080p playthroughs of the entire game, etc.
Did you read the paper?

They derived 8 behavioural factors from the survey questions, and there are a few which are very relevant to dog-human aggression.

#1: Human sociability
#2: Arousal level
#4: Biddability
#5: Agonistic threshold (agonistic is the behavioural term encompassing aggression)

Those are probably the most relevant. There is an important consideration which does seem to be missing from the study, but only reinforces its conclusion:

Most, if not all of these factors can be altered with behaviour modification (training).

You can raise a dogs agonistic threshold with classical conditioning.
You can increase its biddability with operant conditioning.
You can lower its arousal level with both.

Does training rewrite DNA? Obviously not.

Not really trying to nitpick here, but I’d say the official translations are usually way better than the pirated translations—but occasionally it’s the other way around.

There are a ton of really bad pirate translations out there. The vast majority of scanlations you’ll find, if you really dig through them, are barely readable. For every top-notch scanlation group out there, there are probably ten groups out there producing garbage.

I’ve seen groups that put out English translations which are translated from the Spanish version of the manga, because the scanlation group has nobody who can read Japanese (but has someone who understands Spanish).

Some translation groups put out super inconsistent work, such as translating names differently from chapter to chapter. Foreign names, especially, have already been transliterated into Japanese and you have to guess what the original name is before transliterating.

One particular offender was “Xerxes” in the Fullmetal Alchemist manga, which was spelled as “Cselkcess” in the official Viz translation and something similar in various scanlations. Maybe in the 1990s this would have given you trouble, but these days you just pop over to ja.wikipedia.org and look for クセルクセス, and find out that this is how “Xerxes” is transliterated into Japanese.

> If silicon straws are better, why don’t more people use them? I would posit that they’re not actually better, otherwise we’d see more widespread adoption.

This is a very poor argument, it's essentially the same as an appeal to the natural "X is older than Y thus X must be better than Y" - in this thread we're discussing straw usage from an American perspective where disposable plastics is the norm - stating that disposable plastics should continue to be the norm because they're currently the norm isn't very interesting. It's similar to the argument that we should never have switched off of leaded gasoline since everyone was fine with using leaded gasoline.

All of those people you've named can and do look like one another, depending on circumstance.

There is no "canonical" "Swede" or "Arab".

> It gets a little better when dubbing is involved (because someone ACTUALLY has to speak the line, which makes bad translations/awkward phrases a lot more apparent)...

I have played a video game (sadly, I forget which one) which had broken English subtitles voiced over in what sounded like a native speaker's pronunciation.

Either someone local really nailed their English pronunciation without managing to absorb the grammar, or the money for a voice actor was good and the studio wasn't open to changing the dialog just because a native speaker didn't like it.

Not being able to do more is exactly the point. By restricting the space of the file format, we can free the mind to think about how to fit the data to the format.

I don't know what Lisp on the BEAM is (and neither does DDG).

With regards to LFE, I don't really see the point. But that might just be because of the kinds of coding I do. I've never written high performance massively parallel code. Message passing might have a benefit there (that is what the big win with Erlang is supposed to be) but I'm generally skeptical of designing the language semantics around the needs of the compiler rather than the programmer.

In particular, I don't see what Erlang could possibly do that could not be done by a CL compiler that noticed when a method was dispatching only on the first argument. The semantics of that are equivalent to the semantics of message passing, and so the code that such a compiler emits could be identical in both cases. But I don't actually know Erlang so it's possible I'm missing something.
It's possible, just difficult. License plates happen to be incredibly susceptible to getting muddy.
The repetition of the keys seems like the sore point here.

I could see a specialized form of JSON using jagged arrays

{"Header": ["Name", "Street Address", "City"]
"Body": [
["Alice", "123 Fake St", "Faketon"],
["Bob", "987 Any Pl", "Anytown"],
]}

in that way the keys aren't repeated. It wouldn't be coherent useful JS objects when deserialized, but it would be trivial to convert js table object into a true array of Javascript objects.

Yeah the economics of farming are pretty tricky and it is easy to end up in an apples to oranges situation. Corn is tricky as well, because ThenUS is so dominant in that crop so that surely displaces some growers.

I’m not discounting the labor angle entirely, but there seems to be some consensus that for at least some crops US farms are quite productive.
Hey man. Graal was an intimate part of my life growing up. I had thousands of hours logged on Valikorlia and a few hundred on other playerworlds. It was a good idea. It's where I first started programming; graalscript was my first language.

It's sad to see it go. I really wish we could have a game experience that had the community graal did. There's not much with that level of involvement for players anymore; it's all now downstream of ivory towers and extremely restricted.
The hardbread and raspberry gumdrops (gelehallon) are great, too. I'll usually get Kalle's spread, but it's maybe not for everyone.

Haha awesome! Good to see lots of people are starting to see SQLite as an option, I think it used to be misunderstood as a toy database.

It'll take some time before I can really recommend this workflow, I'll make sure to add a blog to the withoutdistractions.com platform soon. I didn't expect this to hit the front page as it's my first "Show HN", otherwise I would have created one up front with an RSS feed.

For me I went from Postgres to one central SQLite file to the current approach. I don't what the best approach would be, but I just put a user id column in every table and instead of having an integer primary key, I have a primary key of user id + table id. Then I have some Janet logic in place to get all table + column names except for a few private ones from the user's DB file, and put those in the "global" DB file.

If anyone knows a better way to do this I'm all ears! I think SQLite has some kind of native way now to merge DB files with the same schema as well, but I think there was some limitation on the amount of tables you could apply this to. Not 100% sure, though.

Do people really edit csvs in a text editor? It's horrific, the columns don't line up at all, empty cells are represented by a bunch of commas in a row (which, are you supposed to count all the commas?)

And in terms of versioning, I have seen people commit diffs of csvs before, and they're equally unreadable.

CSV is a plain text format, but that basically buys you nothing. As long as you're going to be loading it into excel or whatever anyway, might as well just pick a good binary format like parquet.

> Music is the most age dependant business. It's literally impossible to discover your favorite song at age 35+ and it's most likely already buried in your brain forever between 14 and 20.

Nah. When I was a teenager, I was listening to classic rock and folk music. When I was in my mid 20s, I got into metal. Now I'm 30 and would absolutely give you a list of J-Pop songs competing for the title of "favorite song."
The people who genuinely care about problems don't fit the "dissenter" stereotype, by and large. They speak with authority about the limited domain they're familiar with, and don't try to have an opinion about everything in pursuit of shallow popularity. Overall, their attitude might register as "fringe" and "unusual" to most but it's not going to be seen as unambiguously "dissenting" or oppositional.
The upper rendering limit generally isn't explored deeply by games because as soon as you add simulation behaviors, it imposes new bottlenecks. And the design space of "large scale" is often restricted by what is necessary to implement it; many of Minecraft's bugs, for example, are edge cases of streaming in the world data in chunks.

Thus games that ship to a schedule are hugely incentivized to favor making smaller play spaces with more authored detail, since that controls all the outcomes and reduces the technical dependencies of how scenes are authored.

There is a more philosophical reason to go in that direction too: Simulation building is essentially the art of building Plato's cave, and spending all your time on making the cave very large and the puppets extremely elaborate is a rather dubious idea.

> I just want to send a message to an object

Why? Seriously, why is that something you want? Why do you want sending a message to be syntactically and semantically distinct from calling a function?

> The problem people get into with OO (particularly Java, C#, C++) is thinking in terms of method-function calls rather than message sends.

Well, IMHO the problem people get into with OO is thinking that there is something special about sending a message that is different from calling a function. Sending a message is an implementation technique, not a semantically distinct action that should be exposed in the language semantics, and certainly not in the syntax.
> The big problem seemed to be competition. You only get to write the insurance if you're the best price but the best price is not necessarily one that makes sense for the business.

That's straightforward - your insurance product needs reputation. Sure you could go with "that other guy" but we're Lloyd's! You know we'll pay out if it's a legit prize winning.
