> I believe we are succeeding

That's great, congratulations and keep it up!

> To the latter part though

You're right. I certainly didn't mean to imply that I would necessarily be entirely successful. I'm keenly aware of how challenging it is to shift social consensus in even very small groups, let alone larger ones.

I understand that it would be scary to go through such a high consequence interaction as having the police called on you for your good parenting choices, but do you have any sense of what the outcome has typically been in those cases where someone complains?

i.e. do the police typically tend to side with the parent or the busybody paternalist?

> destroying the earth

Again, research about mining, transport, by-product storage, efficiency, &c. When you need XXg of rare earth and each gram requires you to extract a tonne of earth, to filter it with nasty af chemicals and store it in leaky trailing dams.

Solution to EV problems are always "you just need to do X", "we don't do it yet but I swear we'll do it later", "it's not technically feasible for now but we're working on it". It's either wishful thinking or complete delusion.

The only thing EVs do is put the pollution far away from you, on a global scale it's not much better for the planet, we're just going to consume the next resource until we hit a wall and realise all over again that we fucked up once more. And on top of that it perpetuates the hell that modern cities became thanks to personal vehicles

But sure it allows tech bros in Silicon Valley to drive $100k teslas with 600+ hp and pat themselves on the back about how much they're doing to save the planet.
Unionists make up the majority of Northern Ireland and they are against having a customs border within the same country.

The whole justification for not having a border between Northern and Southern Ireland is "the peace process" which is a euphimism for not upsetting the IRA.
From what I've seen a lot of this comes from two trends; a fall in popularity of frats and sororities, and a sharp rise in reported on campus rapes. I don't know if you recall, but there were stories about this just about every week a few years ago. If your biggest argument is complaining about that makes me sound shrill and self righteous, then I guess that's what I am. But there are some real problems that have for a long time been excused by "its just kids being kids, don't ruin the fun".

That's not even getting into the fact that it's only certain groups of people who even have the ability to engage in such shenanigans and get away with it. I may not sound like much fun, but I don't know why everyone would be expected to overlook these things for the sake of someone else's fun

It's only dangerous if you use libraries without fully understanding what they're doing. And most well designed libraries will avoid creating threads, and will do so only when you make it explicit that you want it to happen.

I also find that libraries that absolutely need to make their own threads are better off being their own process. Then you can use proper communication methods to pass data.
It can be because the person will try to do things repeatedly, fail/be unsuccessful (due to executive dysfunction) and just feel shitty about their life overall.

And by doing things it can even be "basic" stuff like laundry etc.
I think sales is a much better gig than software engineering, personally.

Any engineer who has enough EQ and people skills to give some demos on Zoom is going to find that Sales Engineering/Solutions Engineering is an easier job with more earning potential, all with no on-call rotation.

On top of that, the company treats you like you're valuable rather than a cost center (especially relevant to people doing infrastructure and IT engineering). Sales teams go on vacation to team-build, engineers are shoved in a conference room with some lukewarm sandwiches.

I'm not sure that's a like-for-like comparison and if those things overlap like that, it sounds wrong:

- Ticket: Description of the requirement

- Code: How it was done

- Review: Peer-learning, change evolution

- Unit test: Testing of implementation as understood by SWE

- QA: Did the change match the requirement, did the SWE understand it? Is the outcome the right one?

Each "item" should serve a distinct purpose, have distinct value and be justified. If they seem like duplicates, then that probably points at issues elsewhere.
This kind of systemic risk did not exist in the crypto space in 2017. USDC didn't even exist yet, and USDT was a small player. The exchanges have always been the major risk factor for crypto (see: Mt. Gox and the other exchanges that have swallowed their customers crypto along the way), but it's not until the last few years that the fate of all the exchanges have been linked together. That's why this time is different.

Betteridge's Law Of Headlines would say this article probably comes down on "no". Neither of my attempts to get past the paywall worked so I'm just gonna assume that holds true.

I probably make less money than the median HN commenter but "keeping up with my bills by spending 2-3h a day drawing things for Patreon and commissioners while biking around a tourist destination's parks and cafes" sure feels like using my time right.

I guess my response would be: most airline apps are garbage. Any airline risks ending up at a remote stand (just had 3 legs on Lufthansa at Frankfurt on A320s that all ended up at or departed from remote stands).

Yes, the gates are far away and unpleasant, but I mean, some airline would get them no matter what - Ryanair is just passing on the savings of doing so.

Most airlines have huge baggage fees that are basically just as high. Fees on for instance BA are in my experience just straight up higher on top of higher base fares.

And yeah, inflexible T&C are where they make their money.

If you compare a given flight, and add up the fees, you'll pay a lot more to a full-service carrier and get basically the exact same - but less timely.

I guess what I'm saying is if I'm flying 2-3 hours, on the same Recaro slimline domestic seat with 17.x" width and 31" pitch - no matter the airline - I just want to be off the plane, on schedule. And if I can pay $15 for an exit row, I'm pretty chill.

> Every child I know diagnosed with ADHD had parents who didn't want to deal with them

You must not know many parents then.

Parents I know that have children with ADHD recognize their children are struggling beyond simple hyperactivity. These are children that are markedly behind their peers in childhood milestones regardless of their family upbringing, education, and socio-economic status. These are children that have a deficiency in the executive function of their brains where hyperactivity is one of many symptoms, and is not even necessarily the most worrying.

These are children that struggle with simple tasks that other children do not.

Parents of these children are no less loving, caring, or capable than parents without ADHD children. Parents should not be shamed for using effective medications (like MDH) so their children can have positive outcomes in their development and adult-life.

> What we really need is a strong emphasis on family development, courses built around it and support groups

ADHD is generally a disorder that you are born with. No amount of family development can prevent the disease.

I agree with your sentiment but question some of your examples:

* Scala introduced us old Java hands to a whole different world of modern languages. If you know it you get Kotlin or the latest Java changes for free (probably TypeScript-like other ecosystems too).

* Spark introduced a generation of backend developers to distributed query engine technology (my generation is unlikely to delve into postgress codebase in comparison) and made ETL trivial in real life systems

Hadoop clearly died in the last few years or so (outside of EMR where it's mostly invisible anyway). But it's a perfect example of a complete technology lifecycle - it had a good run for a decade starting around 2010 which in our line of business is incredibly long time. Not to mention how many things about distributed systems people like me learned from that stack over time.
These rules typically get applied in ways that advantage the already privileged. e.g. privileged people can say mean stuff online to those under them, but those without such power will go to jail for trying to expose the crimes or bad behaviors of those they work for.

Basically, Masayoshi Son won't ever go to jail (he's too important to go to jail), but someone trying to expose his financial crimes will.
Ha! My father is a doctor and in his 70s. He says he is retired because he only works 60 hours a week at the hospital emergency room. According to him, 60 hours a week is being retired since it is so few hours for a doctor.
Maybe I'm missing something, but they ported from C++ (because 'C++ is bad donchaknow') to Rust and still ran into problems parsing crash dumps?

If the dump is corrupt then just stop trying to parse/make sense of it; it's garbage.
Even if I wasn't someone with ADHD, the comment in question is dismissive of what ADHD actually is, as well as the very-valid treatment of getting medication.

Like I said in my comment, they pointed out some real problems, but made sweeping generalizations, mostly negative, about the people in question.

ADHD is not well understood by a lot of people, and someone with or without ADHD who is well-versed in the topic pointing out that their comment is not helpful to discussion about how to treat the disorder, shouldn't be dismissed as them "Taking it personally".

> strong exports

Scotland's biggest trading partner (by far) is the UK. In 2017 Scotland was a net importer from the rest of the UK.

Imports from the UK would have to have an EU customs tariffs applied, and Scotland has almost no influence on what those would be.
This hasn't been the case for anyone I know who has been diagnosed. For all of us it was immensely empowering:

"Oh all that stuff I've been struggling with wasn't actually my fault? With this magic pill I can get stuff done too and not feel like an imposter all the time? Heck yea!"

I can imagine what you saying applying to some childhood diagnoses. I cannot speak to anyone I know who was diagnosed in childhood thinking that way though.
Paywalled so I can't read the article but I'll throw in some related thoughts.

I recall listening to the radio and hearing about the ways in which we view time can sometimes alter how we use it. A man was asked how many years he thinks he has left to spend with his parents and he said something along the lines of 10 years. He was then asked how many times a year he spends with his parents and I think he said around 3-4 or so get-togethers.

So at that rate, you only have 30-40 get-togethers left with your family. Which really changed the man's perspective on how much time he really had left based on how he was using it. Just some food for thought on how we use time with others.
Can you clarify the aversion to lithium? I was under the impression from multiple friends and family on it that out of many of the other drug cocktails prescribed to manage bipolar disorder, lithium was one of the tamer and more effective medications.
So let's throw one of the most important pillars of a free society under the bus because it makes someone uncomfortable? We have a functional justice system where a specific crime must be charged and proven. If it is a serious crime, a randomized group of citizens of the society must be convinced (Grand Jury). This kind of laws have no place in a free society and would lead to oppression and loss of liberty. Malaise would set in and people would use these very sharp tools of law to cut each other any way they wish. Speech crimes and thought crimes are oreweillian and collectivist (Fascist or Communist).

I could not disagree with you more, it is so deeply short-sighted.
The condition. It's abso-fucking-lutely the condition.

Ryanair is really no different to any other short haul flight where you are flying economy in Europe. You'll get the same service (i.e. being expected to pay for any extras: a specific seat, baggage above the bare minimum, food & drinks) with British Airways or Lufthansa on short haul flights too.

One of the advantages people often miss about Ryanair is they connect so many airports, that you can often find a direct flight where you would need to change with a more 'premium' airline that follows the hub & spoke model.
If you're going to make "a long-term attack on the causes, not the symptoms", focusing exclusively on personal morality and ignoring all structural aspects of homelessness (e.g. housing costs) is pretty limiting.

What it will achieve is enraging the greater populace at the supposed decadence of the homeless and sharpening a sense of moral superiority over the homeless, quenching political support for any tangible aid.
how does that matter in this situation? You get paid in ETH. ETH was $3k in January. Its $1.2k now. Ergo, your income is now $1.2k, not $3k since your fee is fixed.

This could be OK if your workforce is fewer millennials than you'd expect. I know the federal government has issues with this for tech workers because pay is lower than industry and its policy on cannabis.
Gambling is entertainment; ideally you buy the lottery ticket to make the 2 minute "numbers bouncing around" show entertaining.

In the same way poker is only an engaging game if there are stakes, and the 2 universal stakes are "money" and "time".

Anyhow, this is a cool artifact. I'm not sure if its 14 million metric units of cool or not but I'm not part of that market.

Uses for this include:

1. Show it off! It's cool!

2. Make 2 more of them, sell them both secretly, keep the original

3. Look for DNA from the leica inventor, make an army baby leica inventors

4. put in a box, move it to another country, sell it and not pay taxes

5. look at it, it's cool

6. sell it to someone else with lots of money and in interest in camera stuff
Yes, since I got too many requests from HN, I had to enable the CDN. I didn't realize it would cache both html and terminal request together. I tried setting "Vary: User-Agent" but it didn't work. You can add: "?term=true" to make it work in terminal for now.
The problem is neurotransmitters are signaling devices, there are no "levels". There are only differences in reactivity to signals that differ all over the brain.

"we are mass spying on everyone to stop hate speech on forums and games.
I like to tell people about how I worked hard to become a software engineer without a degree. But what I don’t normally mention is I lived in a house we owned outright (very low expenses), my workplace was down a developer at a small startup so my boss gave me coding tasks. At some point I got a random email from someone in my city asking me to do contract work. I’d randomly posted my resume on a job site months before (which has not happened since, in retrospect it was very strange). I also had a friend who was a dev, who coached me on how much money to ask for.

This allowed me to save up enough money to quit my current job, spend a few months really learning to code, and start a new career.

I could say all that stuff was just good thinking on my part but the contracting thing especially in retrospect is the dumbest of luck.
The PGA of America and the PGA Tour are different organizations. The PGA of America used to control the PGA Tour, but they split a long time ago, like back in the 60s I think.

The PGA Tour mission statement is very different: "By showcasing golf's greatest players, we engage, inspire and positively impact our fans, partners and communities worldwide."

Hard to showcase the greatest golfers if they are off playing in different events.
In this episode of Coinbase they learn that authentication and authorization are two different things :D

I was similarly shocked that the only control plane they had to limit access to sensitive information was literally terminating everything. They don't have any kind of access control that would allow them to keep an employee in their system but limit their access. How exactly are they running a "finance company" if they don't have these basic protections.

I could see if they were an early stage startup and just haven't gotten around to it, but they are multiple thousands of employees at this point. In every start up I've worked in, implementing access controls ends up being a priority around 100 employees.

I've never used Coinbase but this revelation makes me not want to ever use them in the future.

Whether one company is effectively more private than the other has nothing to do with what the company actually believes. It doesn't really matter what they believe. When you compare the two companies, Microsoft arguably has a greater history of embedding tracking in its products than Apple. This isn't to say that Apple doesn't track anything. As far as I'm aware, Apple didn't help the NSA bypass encryption or build backdoors into its OS.
Grafana used to be so simple, I don't know if I'm a fan of this direction towards many services.

Having to run alertmanager and configure it in addition to Grafana was bad enough, now you need to run and configure another service if you want some extra functionalities for those alerts? Are they going to keep maintaining acknowledgements and scheduled silence in AlertManager now that OnCall exists? Are we going to have "legacy notifications" in AlertManager when not running OnCall, the same way there are "legacy alerts" in Grafana when updating from Grafana 7 (pre-AlertManager)?

Because the problem is literally people burning coal at home for heat, and burning natural gas at home for heat is way less polluting, and if you price it right they'll jump at it.

If instead you try to build solar or wind and provide electrical for heating, maybe some of the rich will do it, but most everyone else will continue to burn coal (or tires).
