Haven't been to one in nearly three years now, but when they launched in Delhi, they had a really weird ambience. The lighting was dark and dingy, not bright and inviting like most fast food restaurants. And the kicker: they served beer. Alcohol is hard to find in most restaurants here, let alone a fast food one. Just made the entire thing weird as hell - was it a fast food restaurant? A bar that only sold tacos and burritos?
That's not what the story says.

Why do you say the activists were "persuading" the homeless man, but the EMTs were "offering" care.

In the story itself, it says the EMTs were actively treating him. Not offering to treat him, just straight to it. No mention of them even asking if it was ok to treat him.

In the story itself, it also says the activists just told the man his options. Nothing in that story indicates they tried to convince him of one option or the other, only that he had them.

You're the one doing a waltz here trying to add things to the story as presented.

If "sold" can include trading things of value for other things of value, I'd say the first thing ever sold online may have been credit card numbers and dial-in access codes for the earliest ISP's.

I do think that the only pro war faction is not found in german politics but in russia. How are the greens in favour of russians war of aggression in ukraine?
I think you got it right: most white people live in places totally devoid of authentic ethnic food of any kind. The big city (120k people) that borders the town I’m from has one Thai restaurant. The last time I was there, I heard someone say it was the best Chinese food they’d ever had. Added to this, Taco Bell has thoroughly exploited the bliss point for salt/sugar/fat and managed to bring the cost down so much that when you’re an overworked, underpaid lower middle class worker, it’s hard to choose anything else, or at least hard to exclude it from your fast food rotation.
If you can fully understand just the kernel, I think you have managed to achieve some sort of god-like transcendence. This is well above the abilities of us mere mortals. I don't even want to talk about understanding the whole system (maybe back in the 70s...)

The Value of Digital Land
Would this have applied to, say, Perl 6 vs Raku?
The quote that stuck with me is:

"But people addicted to drugs come from all over the country in part for the services San Francisco provides."

So, because other cities are tough on drugs (including the famous "three strikes" laws where you can receive a life sentence if you get caught with drugs three times), and San Francisco treats drug addicts more humanely, drug addicts from all over the US tend to migrate to San Francisco. Making the citizens of the city miserable. Hmmm...
Anthropomorphic language is unhelpful here, filling a ring buffer and running transforms on it looking for a certain shape is one kind of 'constantly listening', and recording a faithful audio stream which is sent to the cloud is another kind, they do the former.

You don't have to use `setup` and `loop` tough. We use Arduino as a library in C++ using PlatformIO as tooling. Best of both worlds.

The thing you are hating on is pretty much this file: https://github.com/arduino/ArduinoCore-avr/blob/master/cores...

Arduino is C++ with some boilerplate and a library.
> but are you really impacting the world more?

You're impacting your own world more. It may be for better or worse, but you're giving yourself more control. For many folks, that's not a good thing - there's value in structure/hierarchy/rules. However, you personally don't often get as much of that value directly.

Working 'on your own', gives you then potential to capture more of that value (from your own structure/rules/etc), but it's also not trivial to do better than a larger org. Much depends on what you're measuring - money? freedom/flexibility? sense of satisfaction? Decide what the goals are first, then work towards that, and make adjustments as needed.
Honestly, I like and use FreeBSD.

FreeBSD definitely has things to offer compared to other operating systems, but I'd also argue that the reverse is true in many cases.

Linux, generally speaking, has a much nicer upgrade story. FreeBSD's works, but having to reboot and run freebsd-update multiple times during a major upgrade is annoying.

FreeBSD's init system works and is generally fine, but I much prefer the simplicity of systemd unit files over FreeBSD's rc scripts. The common use-case of "Run $X as user $Y, capture it's output, restart it if it dies, and track it's PID" is incredibly easy to do in a systemd unit file. FreeBSD could learn a lot here[0].

Related to the upgrade story, packaging is interesting in FreeBSD. The base system is just "there" and managed by freebsd-update, but 3rd party software is installed via packages (ports build a package then install it). The separation of base (/, /usr, etc) vs 3rd party (/usr/local) is good, but it would be nice if all of the software was managed the same way. FreeBSD has started work on this[1], but I have no idea if it's actually going anywhere.

Just because the raw amount of wind energy available is enough to cover the entire needs of the continent in aggregate doesn’t mean it’s going to magically solve the fact that wind isn’t always available. Energy storage sucks and can’t scale using current tech, where the state-of-the-art is pumping water up a hill. Oh, and you’re going to need that storage because wind is strongest at night which happens to be when demand is lowest. Simply spamming wind towers and hoping for the best is incredibly naive. It’s a critical part of the solution but it’s not the entire solution.
This is the quality content I come to HN for, thank you
No, we ignore Elm because it has a bus-factor of one.
"Germany’s economy and climate ministry will present a package of measures to speed up the expansion of wind energy, documents reviewed by Reuters showed on Wednesday, as the country turns to renewables to cut its use of Russian fossil fuels."

A reminder that Vaclav Smil has called wind turbines 'the perfect embodiment of fossil fuels' : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkj_91IJVBk&t=2033s (Václav Smil at Driva Climate Investment Meeting 2019)
Another fun but short trick you can use is to show them how to edit html of websites.

I showed my SO's daughter this and have never seen her so engaged in HTML. I didn't expect anything to come out of it, the goal was just to prank people. But it might be all it takes to push a young person over the edge and get them on the path to more learning.
I don't have anything against wind power, wind power is worth investing in, but Germany is really king of half-ass energy measures right now.

This isn't going to make up for decommissioning their nuclear plants, and it's not going to wean them off of Russian gas and oil before... 2050 or so.

I really don't think German leadership is serious about the energy dependence crisis they are in, and feel-good measures aren't going to cut it.
Wind has some of the lowest levelized costs among all energy sources. There is a great link with breakdowns and charts at the Further Reading in the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_of_electricity_by_source#...

See "Lazard's Levelized Cost of Energy Analysis"
Depends on whether you include the costs of funding a totalitarian state's war efforts in your calculation. In other words: Usually decades, faster with rising energy prices, even faster when accounting for externalities.
You should apply because many will leave.

To me it is foolish to work for a toxic employer who would do this. I wouldn't buy one of his cars either. If this is what they do to employees I would hate to see what they do to customers if something goes wrong.
I tend to code projects that have absolutely no connection whatsoever to what I do at work: that way I can enjoy the challenge and feel proud of the result (if it works!).

One thing to bear in mind though - in my situation, working for a large multinational, there's a clause in my contract that says that my employer owns all intellectual property rights to anything I write/devise, even it's done on my own equipment and time. So occasionally there's some crossover and I write something for me that would be useful for them. I then offer it as a working proof-of-concept and they're welcome to use it. However, in general, they choose not to, and I'm often left wondering whether they'd pursue me legally if I just said F*k it and published it anyway.
Almost all the claims in this article are technically wrong from the start
> Creativity has been co-opted by corps.

It was in the 90s too, they were just slightly less skilled at it.
Sounds like mob extortion. "It'd be a shame if we had to build a windmill in your backyard, so just support it over there, or else!"
Not completely the same as construction work, but carpenters/woodworkers etc. have had good success with Patreon and similar. It's more about being skilled and being able to leverage that while also appealing to people willing to fund you to show off the thing you're skilled in
But that is no argument for not using wind energy during the rest of the year. So we don't have to burn as much natural gas, emitting less CO2.
Calling San Francisco a "failed city" is like calling Tesla a "failed company."

It has been wildly, ridiculously successful over a short period of time (in the grand scheme of things), and has hit a recent rough spot. That doesn't make it a "failed city" by any stretch.
Many people have some kind of mistaken belief that all drug offenders are just friendly dopes like their neighborhood pot dealer. However, illegal drugs are not only directly the leading cause of death among Americans age 18-45, the trafficking business also adds considerable marginal violence. Two famous examples are the 90s crack wars and the Miami cocaine wars. While drug related murders today get little press outside of local if-it-bleeds-it-leads coverage, a considerable number of persons are still getting murdered every year in drug related violence.

Contrariwise illegal streaming has never directly killed anyone and illegal streamer gangs aren’t doing drivebys or otherwise murdering people.

I left in 2018. It was a crime ridden, filty, disgusting hellhole then and my friends still there tell me it's gotten much worse. They'd all leave except they're executives at tech companies and are making too much.

Considering Russia's invasion of Ukraine: immediately.
While the system is designed to run on any platform, I simply don't have the bandwidth to support every OS for every build at this stage of the startup. We got it running on one Linux distribution for a few builds, but until we get more resources I have to limit its scope for now.

We are looking for innovators and early adopters at this stage (for those familiar with Geoffery Moore's book 'Crossing the Chasm') who are willing to evaluate the technology without concern that every OS, every language, every integration, and every feature isn't working perfectly yet.

I thought HN would be a great place to find such people, but based on several of the comments, there are a lot of late adopters and even laggards hanging out here.
Technically, yes! A perfect example of an edge case that I knew would be difficult to find.

Very clever!
I thought I was pretty liberal but the section of this article about the school board is astounding.

>> One night in 2021, the meeting lasted seven hours, one of which was devoted to making sure a man named Seth Brenzel stayed off the parent committee.

>> Brenzel is a music teacher, and at the time he and his husband had a child in public school. Eight seats on the committee were open, and Brenzel was unanimously recommended by the other committee members. But there was a problem: Brenzel is white.

>> “My name’s Mari,” one attendee said. “I’m an openly queer parent of color that uses they/them pronouns.” They noted that the parent committee was already too white (out of 10 sitting members, three were white). This was “really, really problematic,” they said. “I bet there are parents that we can find that are of color and that also are queer … QTPOC voices need to be led first before white queer voices.”

Diversity on the board is a great idea but denying perfectly qualified people the role because they don't meet a laundry list of criteria (criteria they can't change) is mad.
That is the definition of refusing to do their job.
Ah yes because the centrists aren’t reactionary.
If I'm understanding your question correctly, it sounds like you're just generating cache tables for each variant of the root table with a different set of group bys (although I'm curious why you wouldn't want live views instead). I would recommend a python script that accepts a list of group by parameters. When executed, it loops through the list of parameters, generates and executes the DML with those parameters, then runs a generated query to store the results in the new table.

Feel free to message me separately if you want to dive into specifics.
Achieve Day-One Productivity for New Engineers
Solar energy is even competitive in Norway. In Germany, even flat layed panels (i.e. not angled towards the sun, or even on the side of buildings) are viable.

Technology marched on. Panels and installation are dirt cheap and solar is highly effective.
With side learning/coding and personal hobbies I don't find time to write.

Quantum chemistry isn't well understood enough to definitely prove certain homeopathic right or wrong.

The people assuming it was all cranks and snake oil, were ironically also assuming things without justifications. Though likely most of it is cranks and snake oil.
It would take a book to go over it.

In the early stages is all about hiring. Getting the right people, minimal structure and let them do what they're best at with a few key leaders with a strong vision.

As you grow, you need to build the leadership structure, true believers that let the help people grow. That's the main part, leaders main concern should be people. You need a structure that trusts and empowers employees. If you did the hiring in the first phase right, some of those will rise to lead (maybe as proper managers or as tech leads, architects, lead designers, etc.)

Usually, at first you build structure for product and engineering, and maybe place a few UX/Designers as cross functional roles, with little structure, to help all teams build coherent UI.

Eventually they grow into their own org and are involved in product driven features in the early stages. Doing mocks, running usability labs, etc.

With other functions, such as accessibility and i18n (even security) the same happens, as the org can accommodate them these structures start gaining size and their own internal structure.

As the team grows into the hundreds process appears, but is should always be more of a helper than a straightjacket.
I am not planning on getting anything back from these kids except the joy of seeing them grow up into healthy independent individuals.
everytime you wad up a piece of paper and Kobe Bryant it into the rubbish bin, you're doing differential calculus in your head. The starting velocity and trajectory of the paper wad is decided upon based on the parabola's first and second derivatives.

You may not know it, but you're definitely using the calculus "intuitively" - that's why the paper doesn't land right in front of you, or into the next room over, even if you miss the basket.
Does this take into consideration the massive government subsidization
I agree - wind turbines look great. They’re a visible symbol of technology, progress, and elegance.

Some people complain that birds will fly into them, as if climate change won’t kill 1000x as many birds as turbines ever will.
"Kino" as in the Soviet rock band? Soviet "culture" wasn't popular at all among the East German youth. And since the information flow out of the Soviet Union was heavily filtered through the official propaganda channels, even if there was good stuff (like Kino) it hardly made it into East Germany.

Ironically, "unfiltered" Western radio and TV - while a taboo - was widely available, except in the "Valley of the Clueless" (Tal der Ahnungslosen) around Dresden :)
I will bother to reply if you bother to formulate an argument.

Stay in shape people. Fitness pays dividends for decades after the age of 35.
Entire countries have been developed around the car. It’s tone deaf to ignore that and think they’re going away anytime in the next half century, demanding public transportation replace them. Urban planning and refactoring takes significant time.

The US shrugs at such an idea and keeps buying 17 million cars a year. Even Norway buys cars (although most are electric cars now). When cars are sold, they should be EVs.
You could do something like "you need to be physically holding the card with your hand", which would complete some circuit. I can't think of many cases where that wouldn't work, except perhaps people who don't take their cards out of their wallets(?).
TypeScript has always been very explicit it's trading soundness for productivity. And don't assume "typescript people" only do TypeScript.

I've introduce TypeScript to multiple teams already, and if the transitions were not frictionless, they were always extremely fruitful in the end.

And I can guarantee using a more sound (and more complex) type system like Elm or Rust would have never succeeded, because people using high-level languages don't want to know about low-level CPU/memory details, they just need to build things and have something that is "fast-enough" (and safe-enough, if possible).
What a brilliant take. Use fossil fuels to make wind turbines? No, let's continue using them to make some other thing, not specified here.

Refusing to build green energy because doing so consumes natural resources does not stop those resources from being exploited. It leads to more exploitation.
Is this a whataboutism?
No, I meant design team, i18n team, doc team, support team, security team, etc. Each with their respective roles.
The second tip is to have the next version finished within 20 years of the previous one.
> over 300,000 rows

Any process you ever enable in code will be pushed to limits you never dreamed possible. This is exactly where discoverability can come into play - someone starts by copying 50 rows and using that to get their job done, and may never realize there are other ways (CSV export, etc).

If code can "recognize" when something like this is being done and provide documentation on other ways, it can help people learn new methods.
The article makes it pretty clear this all happened amidst the worst of COVID, restrictions and not when you're googling.
I completely disagree that Haskell is a good imperative style language. It's barely adequate by today's standards.

It's awkward, it has a bad ecosystem, it has just as many issues with hidden state, etc...

The only reason you would want to write imperative Haskell over a modern imperative language is the typesystem, but even that can be an issue sometimes, and I'd risk saying that the Rust or C++ typesystems while being very slightly less expressive are better at scale overall due to their flexibility imo.

Another big one is that it really sucks to debug. Seriously, it's brutally slow compared to what you can do with a good debugger in other languages.

If you care about performance, Haskell can be significantly worse than others, both lower level compiled languages (lazy evaluation, large amounts of trash to be collected by the GC, cache trashing, etc...), and higher level interpreted languages, due to the lack of native accommodations to bind into fast code, or even into GPUs.

There are a lot of disadvantages to Haskell if you're going to do mostly imperative code.
