> You see an increase in crimes against people when the equalizing force of guns is removed: assaults, muggings, home invasions, rapes, etc. Guns can (and do) allow smaller men, women, and the elderly to defend themselves with lethal force — against stronger aggressors.

So show us the statistics that crime rates in states with high gun ownership are lower.

My personal experience for the last couple of years is that the "checkout with Paypal" option on most sites is buggy now. After the Paypal portion of the payment flow, the redirect back to the original site fails. The redirected page will either show me an error message or I'll be somehow redirected to the website's root page.

I've stopped using the Paypal option even though I really want to use it, because it makes me uncomfortable providing my credit card information to so many sites. Not sure what's changed, it used to work quite well. My guess is either there's a bug on PayPal's side with my account, or the PayPal integration has gotten more complicated and many websites have not kept up with certain changes.

The unfortunate fact is that although we romanticize reading, most books don't have much trade value. And if it's already in the Library of Congress, it's as good as archived.

Still, my household(multigenerational) has too many books, and this is mostly an artifact of a childhood that gave me plenty to read. We even still have the incomplete Funk & Wagnalls encyclopedia picked up from when the school library dumped them.

It'll be the "great book downsizing", for us. Someday. Occasionally I look into scanning the ones I have sentimental value towards, and there are services to do so...but really, that would just displace the problem into "digital junk hoarding". It's hard to let go of things, especially in the gradual way that fits with our waste stream system.

The best tactic I've had to deal with it is to first make an explicit division of space (no piles allowed, at least have a tray or tie the bundle) and then use the divisions to create a ranking mechanism. You don't have to let go of things immediately, but whenever you have a day where you value space over stuff, the low rank stuff can be taken out with minimal ceremony: "thank you very much".

From a sister comment:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democide
> Democide is the murder of any person or people by their government, including genocide, politicide, and mass murder.

Your examples are NOT US Military trying to kill citizens. And Viet Cong? Really? You are grasping, how about you throw in Civil war references too.

The point is technology has changed the battlefield. Personal firearms mean little - not nothing, but little - on a battlefield with tanks, drones, air superiority that the US has sooo much of compared to any other modern military, including Saudi Arabia.

How is Saudi Arabia doing? I don't know. How about you visit the region, do the tourist thing in complete safety while you might see in the media that the Houthis even exist. I think they're doing fine. Not that I agree with their approach...

But back to the Democide point: If the US Military went insane and wanted to eradicate every other US citizen then they could do so easily.

But the US Military wouldn't. Because a military is made up of humans, with a heart and a conscience and killing their own families and children is not even a thought to contemplate. While "pry my guns from my dead hands" types are happy to continue the status quo...
A conventional war between civilians armed with small arms against the full United States military is a completely unrealistic scenario for what armed resistance would actually look like.

More realistic scenarios, based on historical examples, include:

1. Armed resistance of local or federal authorities/law enforcement (e.g. Battle of Athens, Bundy Standoff)

2. Guerrilla warfare against a superior military force (e.g. Afghanistan)

3. Full civil war between the states (would probably look something like Russia-Ukraine war happening right now)

In the first two scenarios small arms are absolutely effective. In the third scenario, access to more advanced weapons and logistics would be split between the factions (and possibly supplemented by outside forces).
Google PM for Skaffold here.

As others have mentioned, there are many great solutions in the market for Kubernetes local iterative development. If you do decide to give Skaffold a try, I recommend checking out the File Sync feature (https://skaffold.dev/docs/pipeline-stages/filesync/) which enables you to continue making changes during a Skaffold iterative development session and have that code synced over to your running Kubernetes instance without having to rebuild or push images. When using Jib or Buildpacks to containerize your application, File Sync just works for Go, NodeJS, and Java but requires a little configuration for Dockerfiles.

FWIW, Skaffold is under active development and we're continuing to expand support for iterative development, CI and CD use cases as well as simplifying configs and general ease of use.

We also have a bunch of ways you can reach out to the team (https://skaffold.dev/docs/resources/) if you have any questions. We'd be happy to hear from you.
The worst model of this i used only had a single set of + and - buttons. Then a single selector-button for which area of the stove you wanted them to control.

Have fun cooking with 2 zones, any time you need to adjust the heat of the next zone you need to press select 3 times to circle the whole stove and then adjust several times with plus or minus. Add the mandatory touch-delay to each action and by the time you reach desired temperature your food is burnt already. How can anyone think this is a good idea?!

It wasn't when the OP first posted the comment.
I think a lot about how much pushing is the right amount.

When I was very young I had piano lessons. My memories are only dim, but I think I enjoyed them. I also gave them up quite quickly. I distinctly remember trying to play a little tune and messing it up again and again. I didn't have the skills to deal with my frustration and anger. I didn't have the perseverance. Perhaps if someone had helped me through this I could have persisted, or perhaps it was just too early for me and I needed some more life experience before I could handle it.

When it comes down to it I think kids need lots of opportunities to try many things, as well as the experience of "going deep" on one thing. It doesn't really matter if it's dance, music, art, programming, languages or whatever. There's always the meta-game of skill acquisition going on. Learning that time, effort, consistent practice, thoughtful reflection are useful is the real goal.

It's also worth remembering that children are unique people with unique personalities. They will all have different challenges and respond to the world around them in different ways.

Long guns (rifles and shotguns) account for something like 2% of gun-involved homicides.

People use them for mass shootings, but they also use pistols, and there's not a huge difference in the outcome.

Your proposed law would have very low effectiveness, but impact millions (maybe tens of millions) people who want to buy rifles.

Maybe you don't care about those people, but maybe that's part of the problem? They are fellow citizens, they can vote, and they have rights. And they know you don't care about them and they will resist your proposals because they don't trust you.

You can turn that around and say that they should care more about you, and maybe they should. But at some point, we have to communicate, because we (collectively) aren't making good policy any more.
There is quite a gap between stimulating children to see if that is something they could enjoy and excel in, and going all overboard and making it the centre of their young lives.

We don't force or even allow children to work in any other industry. It is ridiculous and offensive to say that calling for the end of the exception for child actors is somehow equivalent to saying "we should cut a hole in a cardboard box and put them in it until they’re 18"
The relationship between gun ownership and homicide rates are (weakly) negative

I mean some of the controversy here may be of the 'difficult to make someone understand something their income depends on them not understanding' variety.
> There is no healthy amount of pushing, period.

Surprised to read this. There have been many well-documented cases of children not wanting to learn math, science, history, etc, or go outside for exercise, where the parents denied their children’s agency and forced them to do so. Long-term studies indicate a tendency towards positive outcomes.
Yeah, I've started with idea where you controlled one ship at a time too, but I think multiship gives more possibilities for gameplay. In my game, most of the time you would be controlling your ships on a map as small markers anyway (no need to render your nice 100m wide ships when they are 100km apart).

1. The scale of space: I was comitted to custom engine for this (first techdemo based on love2d). When centimeter resolution is enough, you can go with int64, it's good for one solar system and you can represent deep space as grid of empty solar systems (hierarchical coordinate system). At such scales, even standard doubles have problems and bigger doubles or are too slow.

2. Scale of player's time: hyperspace jumps for "small" distances of up to half a solar year (so many jumps required between solar systems) and big jump gates (so you have to pool resources with other players) for fast jumps between systems (allows for factions to have their own jump gates, war can destroy gates, you need to pool resources to make gates and can extract rent for jumping trading ships). Having to wait single minutes to dock or do any sensible navigation is a slightly shady but efficient way to hook up player for more gameplay time.

3. Yeah, choosing a good language and engine is hard, I can't help you with this, you just have to commit some time and try them all. Fortunately for me, I'm good at learning programming languages and can write in anything (client engine in c/c++/lua, server in c/erlang, some tools in python).
They're talking about why guns are ingrained in American culture. A school shooting is quite separate to the points they were making. I think it was more explaining why any discussion with Americans about it is such a challenge, and why progress (on say background checks and so on) is difficult.

There are other countries where you don't really even know a gun owner and outside of video games or movies, entire social circles go months without even mentioning guns because they just aren't a big part of the localised zeitgeist. Completely different in the US where guns were a big part of the origin story of the nation.
So scan your PC for malware. If none are found and your machine is running fine, you don't need to panic about updates until you're good and ready to install updates.

The problem with blind loyalty to Microsoft updates on their terms, is they can micro-tweak the compliance rules over time. One day you may find you can't use your own PC unless you sign in to Microsoft, upload photo ID, then enter the code they sent your phone. Don't worry, the data you provide Microsoft is shared only with trusted partners.

So by your argument crime should be lower in states with less gun control. That is not reflected in reality, in fact according to [1 ], the states with the highest crime rates have actually amongst the laxest gun control laws.

TBH in that case, in HN, it's clearly not the unfulfilled dream bit. More like people see that programming is a dream job for them and want their kids to have the same opportunity.
But why stop there? Why not ban cars completely? That will reduce car deaths even further.

We can reduce sexual diseases even further by regulating who you can have sex with. If you've ever had or transmitted an STI, you're on a permanent banlist. You can obtain a license by proving you have no history of reckless behavior and have a clean record of health.

We can also reduce homelessness even further by finding every homeless person and forcing them into a government house. Homelessness is a travesty that must be reduced as much as possible, isn't it?

Hey, there aren't any ideal scenarios but we can reduce it further, can't we?
There is a difference between pushing you kids to try things to see what they like, and pushing you kids to keep doing something when they've tried it and told you they want to stop.
> mathematicians like to present results and leave people guessing how they arrived at them?

I don't think that's the case, but I think many of them totally underestimate the actual pedagogic value of taking the time to do that.

>Focusing on the guns as though they're the root problem when irresponsible people are involved is like painting over the rust on your car and thinking it "solves" the problem.

Guns aren't the root problem but their accessibility is an enabler -- a multiplying force for opportunistic carnage.

>Any reasonable person will understand that making such judgments is an ongoing process.

This goes against what we've seen with mass killers and the third parties involved: Average, every-day people convince themselves that their loved one / friend will get over whatever they're dealing with. We also know that many of these mass killers are sociopaths and have no difficulties in acting normal and hiding their motives.

a kid only wants to play video game all life, and what does he know what he wants anyway. I believe kids can learn anything, can go any direction without problem. The only issue is the teacher. A good teacher will make a kid enjoy something, a bad teacher will make a kid hate something. That's the only difference. A lot people are interested in the outcome, and does not spend too much time thinking about the process, that's the problem.

I begged my parents for an electric guitar and they bought me one. But I didn’t enjoy my first couple of guitar lessons and my parents said “Whatever, quit.” Fast-forward my raging envy in high school at my friends shredding on stage while I could bang out a few chords.
This is an interesting write up!

The only question I have is around your point on monorepos - every monorepo I’ve seen has been a discoverability nightmare with bespoke configurations and archaic incantations (and sometimes installing Java!) necessary to even figure out what plugs in to what.

How do you reason about a mono repo with new eyeballs? Do you get read in on things from an existing engineer? I struggle to understand how they’d make the job of auditing a software stack easier, except for maybe 3rd party dependency versions if they’re pulled in and shared.
I don't think time tracking will help. Best case is you find they were lying about the hours and just get more hours in. Worst case is they were truthful and incompetent.

Either way, it might be best to just fire anyone who bills you 50 hours and works 0. As a contractor, I'd do the opposite - work 40 hours and bill 30, not including some periods of zoning out. My clients would insist that I round it up, not down.

I think you'll find plenty of contractors who suit your more trusting style.

It was more of a bridge of stardom for Mr Wheaton..
Some of the browser based games like Travian, Inselkampf and OGame had similar meta games like Eve Online where the diplomacy, alliance management and game tool building took up far more time than the actual game.

They were for all intents social constructs with the game as the centre point. I'm looking to build a new version with different scenarios but it is the social aspect that makes them so compelling.

This is cool. I stopped using Notion forever when I started to place images in my documentation, on 4th image it said: you can't place more images dude, pay us now. This drove me crazy since I wanted this document to be only local, and I could easily use file:// URLs to show them. Funny thing – there is an ability to input image URL but it doesn't accept file:// for dirty money-making reasons. Now there is something better around
Trying to share your interest with a kid is not abuse. It's fine even to try multiple times, because children's interests can change throught development. That's very very different from projecting and seeing children as an extension of the parent instead of individuals, which is a form of abuse.
Yep, my mistake its 25 years, not 35. Though the difference doesn't negate the point that its been decades since a gun related massacre.

That linked source is for all massacres, most of which are not gun related and have < 6 deaths. Even if you include the 2002 Monash University shootings, its still 20 years.

If you look at [1], when the Australian gun laws came into effect, a year later the per capita number of gun related deaths halved. 25 years later and its halved again and the trend continues downwards. For reference the US numbers are here [2]. What is interesting is that when comparing the number of firearm possession per capita between the US and Australia, the US has roughly 10 times more guns [3]. Based on [1] and [2] the US has roughly 10 times the number of gun related deaths per capita. The reason why Australia has historically had less problems than the US with gun violence is that even at Australia's peak, it had 5 times fewer guns [4] than the US [5] did per capita.

Just to push that thought a bit further, it's fine if you don't like stranger things but a mashup of 80s ideas is "original" for more than half the US population (median age is 38 y/o).

I'm in my twenties, my parents watched movies in the 80s, and even then they were young. Discounting a TV show because it rips off ideas from things that are 40 years old seems like a harsh stance to take.
