You're purposely making it extra misleading with this analogy by adding "in a sealed room", and also by using an example of a process that's already well understood
Right, you’ll definitely think twice about committing early and often if commits are suddenly etched in stone. Feels like the wrong incentive/message for a VCS. That said, I believe Fossil may be better equipped to explore a presentation layer that users have control over, and separately examine commit history when needed. Git wasn’t designed that way. I don’t agree with Fossil’s dogmatic stance on git, but Fossil might be workable in the sense that your history of noisy throwaway work can be mostly muted. I think?
Yeah, I am curious why the OP is wanting to avoid Microsoft here. It is one thing if you just want to use open source and maintain that ethos, but if the reason is to save money it makes no sense. Spending $400 a month for a 40 person startup is going to be a negligible cost. If it adds even a few hours a month of extra effort across your entire team, the cost savings are already gone.

Use the thing everyone knows.
I fully agree and the medical field in particular confounds me when I get asked to come in at 3pm on a Tuesday as the only time all month available and then wait for 45 min.

That being said, I think the reason these frustrations are exploitable is because every single charge is passed directly to the consumer. For all of the private market's genius, it struggles to capture efficiencies except for when it enriches the shareholders, board members or C-suite with salary ties to stock performance. No one ever seems to ask why that is. Its just assumed that the consumer should pay for it out of their post tax wallet share.

Self-taught, I've spent years trying to bootstrap software companies but I've exhausted my ramen money if you catch my drift.

My crowning project is called IVD (github.com/irischase/IVD) which is a GUI programming language and implementation; it's also: A bad way to try to make money from scratch. I really leveled up a ton in all aspects as an engineer from the project, but it's unfinished and in hiatus because after spending 3+ years on it I realized how much time doing anything interesting takes (especially alone) and that I need to pick my battles more wisely. I still want to get back to it someday though, but for now I'm seeking employment to get my ducks in a row. Other highlights are in my resume.

I'm fine with web tech, it just wasn't appropriate for the projects I got most of my experience on. Primarily interested in backend but projects that are front-end heavy also appeal to me. Feel free to reach out if you think I could be useful! :)

Hello, I'm the developer of Leek Wars, thank you for sharing my link!

I'm from France and I've been coding this game with my friends since 2012 when I was in University. I try to add features and improve the language from time to time.

The source code of the game (frontend and fight generation) is available at https://github.com/leek-wars

Happy leek coding :)
I’ve read K&R and it failed to resonate with me. The problems have always seemed like the type you’d run into if you were the kind of person writing an operating system… in the 70’s… on a minicomputer.

I learned C from “Practical C Programming” by Steve Oualline. I remember reading it on bus rides home from work and just itching to try out the code myself. I loved that the author motivated many of the exercises with the weird corners of C that eventually bite you if you only have a naive understanding of the language. There’s even a fun one on the cover itself.

Yes it's likely more the shortage of housing that is the driving issue in Toronto and Vancouver. With rental vacancy at 1% in Vancouver there's no doubt there's a serious housing shortage and that'll eventually cause the same sort of extreme rents as we've seen in SF. With high rents comes high house purchase prices too.

Meanwhile in Alberta, where their cities sprawl endlessly, as you point out the ultra highly paid oil workers can buy a detached house for cheap. Always easy to build more on the edge. Not at all possible in Vancouver, which is effectively nearly completely built out at this point.

At this point new housing development in Vancouver will be townhouse or denser and the only place to put it is in existing detached home neighbourhoods. Politically contentious so movement will be slow.

No part of this is even close to correct. No, wealth is not being evenly spread, it's becoming more and more concentrated. And no, generations are not getting "ever-larger", either; birth rates are down.

Even the "probably" is wrong. :)
There's definitely a case to be made for early access to drugs for certain terminal illnesses in cases where there is compelling evidence that the drugs will pass Phase 3 trials. But, that should hardly be the 'default' as OP suggests.

I think "caste" is a strong word. Castes are much more rigid and are hereditary. "Stereotype" is a more appropriate description of the events in the article. In the book, "Caste", white people are supposedly at the top (I only read the Amazon summary of the book). But, if you use income or GPA as a measure, Asians and Indians (from India) are at the top. Whites are in the middle.
> Innocent until proven guilty right?

We're not talking about a jury trial here! It's an arrest (attempt). The ability to detain people suspected of crimes and search their papers and persons is a core part of law enforcement. So much so, in fact, that the fourth amendment specifically calls it out and places limits on the ability. And to say it again: it is abundantly clear that those limits were not crossed in this case.
"Social Media was developed under the premise of providing free "social" marketing for artists that aren't profiting from their work yet..."

I don't remember this. It might've been a bullet point in some fantastical interpretation of potential, but you'd have to be naive to think this was how it would play out. Doesn't take much thinking to see that every free platform gets overrun with hopefuls and spam and the platforms need a way to either rank content or monetise it.

Spotify and co provide distribution, not marketing. If it was as trivial as "create social music platform, get coverage for my music", you and every artist could do it, right?

Not macOS here but I've crashed LibreOffice products (usually Writer) countless times on Debian by doing such things as moving/resizing line drawings, attempting to add basic charts, attempting to adjust wrap settings for images, replacing images with other images, and setting tab stops when there are things other than pure text in the flow. I can live with most of these, although they are annoying. I just wish I had a more consistent experience so that I could contribute to fixing these issues, but it doesn't seem consistent at all; once I restart the software and try the task again, it usually works relatively fine (exporting to pdf/docx for my colleagues' benefit making a mess of it notwithstanding). I've since settled on doing the bulk of the work in LibreWriter, exporting to docx, then opening in Word on a separate system to massage the appearance.

And before anyone chimes in, no, LaTeX (or Markdown, etc.) would not be appropriate for these projects due to the mental overhead I'd have myself. I'm a visual person, I need to see what it looks like as I work and adjust with immediate visual feedback, and that visual aspect is often critical to the final product.

Word is phenomenal even with the missteps and lacking bits, and I pray (ineffectually) that Microsoft will eventually makes a properly compatible version for me that isn't plagued with the issues and feature disparities the SPA web versions are.
iOS has “Time Sensitive Notifications” that can be enabled separately for Uber in settings while other notifications are turned off. I’ll see if it works.
>A ubi would be required such that it would fulfill the entirety of the persons need

This is an incorrect view, perhaps you've been mislead or misunderstand? UBI is a government program in which every adult citizen receives a set amount of money regularly. That's it. The goals of a basic income system are to help alleviate poverty, not necessarily guarantee everyone's needs are fulfilled.

Look. Here's one way UBI could be done:

1) Create a tax on someone/something

2) From the money gained from said tax, redistribute it equally to everyone in society

Everyone now has a basic income. That's what universal basic income is. Social security is essentially basic income, it's just not universal, as it's only given to old folks who previously paid into it.

No ones arguing (or they at least shouldn't be) that it will guarantee everyone with enough money for everything they need (just as social security doesn't). But it can be done, and it can help alleviate poverty, particularly in the case for people who have absolutely 0 income.
Oh, I like that phrasing. Thanks for sharing.
Tracy Kidder is a wonderful writer. If you liked “The Soul of a New Machine” you might also like “House” which is on a totally different subject. Is it technical? Sort of. I think about it every time I work on my own house. It’s my favorite Kidder book, and I LOVED “The Soul of a New Machine.”

Well you have to consider the margin. If you change out your gas stove, where is the extra bit of electricity going to come from? Probably gas, although they may build some more renewable if enough people switch.

A gas stove is one of the last things that should be converted, because heat is the most efficient use of fossil fuels.

In general, any conversion of heat energy to mechanical or electrical energy will have a fairly low efficiency, so switching an energy source in a way that adds such a conversion will have at best a small benefit.

On the other hand, switching from a gas to an electric car requires an extra heat->mechanical conversion step at the power plant, but it removes a heat->mechanical conversion step in the car, so in general this is a favorable trade.

You can also get a favorable trade in home heating if you replace a gas furnace with an electric heat pump, or a gas water heater with a heat pump water heater, because the heat pump can get effectively well over 100% efficiency.

>wondering also what your opinion is of felony drug convictions (for possession)?

I'd be fine with a project to get people convicted of felony drug or other nonviolent, victimless, crimes hired, and run by someone with such a conviction. This was not that project.

>But more seriously wondering about your unwillingness to believe that people can change,

It's a matter of the odds. People who have committed genuine crimes are greater risks. They can change, but we don't know that they've changed.

>They are no longer a criminal, that debt is paid.

Being rationally distrusted as a risk is a consequence of their crime, not a form of punishment; it's not done because of a desire to inflict suffering on the criminal, but to avoid harm.

>How have you changed your life based on the hurts you have caused others?

I've gone my life without committing a large scale financial fraud or similar act which hurt others to that degree.
There’s asshole companies and cool companies. Asshole companies send marketing notifications when people sign up for useful notifications. Companies on the edge default to on but at least let you turn off notifications.

Asshole companies can still be useful. I use UberEats but have their notifications turned off.

I’ll also add that I’m amazed that after using an iPhone for 15 years, I’ve never gotten a spam push from Apple. And their temptation must be great.
I think this will come up more and more as people leave states, especially if they're still remote working for an employer in the old state. There's no real formal way to declare yourself a resident of a state other than with a trail of evidence (driver's license, property ownership or rental, voter registration, etc.)
OK, but who are “they,” specifically? I increasingly think this is just a set of strawmen created by some narcissists on both sides on Twitter.
My wife has used LibreOffice for years in her solo law practice. This may not have worked if she had to exchange documents with other lawyers with change tracking but either never came up or was not an issue for her.

She recently got a job and has to use Office but her LibreOffice experience hasn't set her back.

You can definitely fake it if determined, it's sqlite under the hood. Your way would work but the branch will live forever (possibly closed) if you push it from the local repo.

Easier is to copy the repo, do a bunch of feature work there, then rsync over to the shared repo and commit. I don't bother though, local history has the mistakes and backtracking enshrined.
> I work a lot on trains crossing Europe, or sometimes on flights. I just want to have my files accessible.

I have a similar use case (plus add in cafes where I'd rather not be on their wifi or my own mobile data). It amazes me how many company IT people I've spoken with over the years who just don't comprehend some people work without being connected to the internet 100% of the time.

Dropbox remains my solution there. I'm also MS Office - too much interaction of documents with my clients to try anything else.

> “Everyone points to Miami as the next tech hub because it offers low taxes. But it offers little else from a tech point of view,” Mike Volpi, a partner with the venture capital firm Index Ventures, said on a recent visit to Toronto.

This article doesn't mention political differences and other intangibles but it should.

There are plenty of places like Miami with low taxes, and Toronto would be making a mistake in taking part in a race to the bottom. It's more effective for Toronto to differentiate itself by other jurisdictions by fundamentally offering different things and being a place that people want to move to because it isn't like the other places.
What we need is a version system, followed by git. In my personal opinion, if you only learn one, it is git. If you want to learn two, they are git and fossil. Fossi is more suitable for individual private projects than git. He cuts down some collaboration problems, and this is a very high-quality software. As for the comparison with git, I prefer that they are a software that optimizes different scenarios.

I am part of "we" and I disagree. Clearly someone was confused at the post but given the upvotes, it was understood. The response, clarifying that it was a joke on my part, was poorly received. Perhaps the correct characterization is that the realization by some users that they didn't get the joke were subsequently more inclined to downvote due to not getting it, or that the meta post acknowledging it was a joke was off comment (but still relevant in the context of the aforementioned subthread) than those that got it, upvoted it and moved on.

If you haven't seen other jokes on HN then consider the possibility that maybe you are overly aggressive in filtering out the human element from this collections of comments, posts & links and are markedly worse off for doing so.
Personally I think the whole idea that one particular compound reverses aging is impossible. And just wishful thinking (or outright scam).

Aging is so deeply ingrained in the process that created our DNA. Without aging, evolution is completely broken. So it makes sense that it's extremely hard to 'turn off'. There's also no species that doesn't age AFAIK, and no compound found in nature that reverses aging for any species.

I'm sure we will eventually manage to figure it out but it'll be a lot more involved than eating a particular kind of sea critter.
The learning curve on git is absurd. It's just so long ago we've mostly forgotten.

I mean this is still so much bullshit. The period when Linux really started to mature (the early 00s) for instance is when IBM of all things were bankrolling the major contributors including Linus and GKH (nevermind all the other devs at Redhat at SUSE). The same goes for Gnome, gcc, clang, blender, Firefox (google!). The idea that most of this major open source stuff isn’t getting funded hugely by some of the most closed and traditional corporations around is a naïveté that I thought was abolished by now.
As for struggling with why there is such a judgment, you can try it yourself for up to one hour. I was shocked by the diff quality of fossil. All linguistic debates cannot replace the experience of the century.
On Linux, 99% of the time, you want kernel threads. They can be configured to use very little stack memory. They can be configured to reduce the scheduling overhead by using NOOP scheduling which works for certain workloads. They are rock solid.

Spawning millions of unnecessary user-space threads because they are supposed to be more efficient than kernel threads is rarely the best solution to any problem imho.

They did not, at least not until much later, many years after AOL waned in popularity -- possibly in part due to lack of money to pay enough engineers.

Initially AOL's was done (GUI and non-GUI functionality) via their client API called FDO and sent assembled packets out like everything else. AIM on the other hand was a classic simple GUI app using a different protocol and used none of AOL's FDO stuff.

Much later AOL used some OSCAR (AIM) libraries to piggy back the AOL client on-to AIM for buddies and IMs, but even so these were not a part of the exploits that kept popping up for AIM, and long after AIM's drop in popularity as well.
> The fact that are documented cases, over and over again of bad QC on Tesla, and they refuse to fix it or tell the buyer of a brand new car it will take months to fix because they don't have the parts is just shitty behaviour

You can refuse delivery for any reason and wait for another. Taking months to fix is not a devious action, they quite literally put almost every part on the shelf into a vehicle. With all the complaining you are doing, their backlog of deliveries is still 6mo+ out. People don't seem to care about the issues you're making a huge deal out of.
Not my experience. I generally find MS sourced docs to be as crap as any others. I did used to teach word processing and DTP back in the day so there is that.

I still have a pretty nightmareish template of styles that started off life in Word 9x and still going strong. It was for ISO9001 docs and includes three layers of table styles alone. Our ISO9000/27000 systems are all on Mediawiki these days but that template still works fine.

There are some jolly exciting bugs in all software but I suspect you are not an actual LO user.
