Not sure why you're highlighting this in a sub-thread regarding the importance of context. Surely this was already implied?

What I'm railing against is the idea that seniority is a prime indicator to the effective strategy parent comment insists on, which simply doesn't mirror my experiences. What I see is juniors picking up the habits of their superiors. They're learning this dogmatism from somewhere.
Show HN: Kicli – open-source CLI for the open source Kimai time tracking project
Thank you! It's just one dev, that's me :)
The ASF is an umbrella organisation. For most projects the ASF’s involvement stretches only to procedures and structures for managing the project. The maintainers are mostly not even ASF Members (even those that steer projects). So, not much inference can be drawn from the failure of one project that applies to another.
That's how it reads to me.
I love Brave and have commented positively about my experience with it in the past. But I’ve never owned crypto, and I don’t comment on it much (or positively) on HN or elsewhere. Just an N = 1, but I imagine I’m not alone.
In the GIF, they display that the tool is available under twitter.com/write (which, obviously wouldn't be public yet unless I was invited to participate, which I wasn't). If you go there now, there is a Twitter account there already (a private "Writers Group"). Will that Twitter account disappear now with this change?
We started employing this pattern in our code at work recently. Using the Facade pattern to create a simpler interface around a couple of things:

- Feature Flag service, wrapping LaunchDarkly

- Remote Storage service, wrapping S3

The application code uses the simplified services, with little knowledge of the underlying providers (e.g. S3 or LaunchDarkly). The tests use a test implementation of the simplified services.

This pattern simplifies both the application code and test code and is an all-around win.

It's been a game changer personally, and made me excited about software architecture and coding.

That they're not keeping up with LibreOffice

Who cares about "keeping up with LibreOffice?" The idea that this is a competition is an idea that seems to only be constantly promulgated by the LO camp.

AOO exists and releases on the pace that they can. If that isn't sufficient for some people, those people are welcome to jump to LO. For people who are happy with AOO, so be it. How about a little more "live and let live" here people, instead of the LO camp always trying to bully AOO out of existence just so they can declare final and complete victory? Maybe they'd like to drink the blood of the AOO developers out of their skulls as well just to emphasize the point?
I prefer to be paid with a revenue share. It's a better deal for me.
I am not convinced of the spending priority today, but I am convinced that figuring out clean energy is the most important goal to achieve.

I am mostly worried that a fossil-fueled extinction beats science to the storage solution of your dreams. Why risk that when nuclear is available?
Nuclear is still the safest, even including Chernobyl and Fukishima. An equivalent number of people die from solar and wind, independently.

This is a huge problem for humanity to solve. We're more afraid of acute horrors that are statistically insignificant than we are of diffuse, but statistically horrifying dangers.
What's the excuse of the FDA then to allow tobacco?
Ultimately the two goals are that changes that don't break the product to pass all the tests and changes that do break the product to fail at least one test. If you remember those two goals, you will go far.

All rules should be in service of the above. I don't know that there is a "most people agree with this" set of rules, but if you read any source on how to test, think about how each rule affects the two goals. Senior developers tend to have developed an instinct for "things like this have failed one of the two rules" but it is hard to codify that instinct into rules.
Web browsers have become huge monolithic applications we all nowadays preach against. So much so that other monoliths get built on top of them. (I am taking the dictionary definition of monolith here: a massive structure).

Many of the solutions given in this thread are similar to ones we give to someone who wants to escape from the monolith mess. Namely, move towards a very slim core, make everything as modular as possible etc etc. And the problems towards such an approach are the same as well i.e., what do we do about the legacy stuff?

The important question here is: what can be done better if we start from scratch? The main issue I see with browsers is that they have become so big that building a new one in a reasonable amount of time is next to impossible. This makes all the open standards pointless because no one can do anything with them except the few already established browsers.

Unfortunately there's no clean way out of this.

when would elections be held? after N number of new people join? How would you prevent rigged elections with many bots joining to represent many votes for 1 person? Other forms of governance are in wide abundance, but implementing them on top of pseudo-anonymous chatrooms is hard and could lead to mostly benefiting malicious actors.

the GUI is relevant in addressing duplicate channel names as underneath you could have UUID channels that mapped to channels named "chat" for the end user.

While the OP says the last major release was in 2014, I just checked and the last patch release was May 2022. So it isn't dead-dead, or even brain-dead. I've seen worse.

So, yeah, you make a perfectly valid point.

Add a 2nd eth port to your computer, attach a switch/router that the offline devices connect to, using same class C network the 2nd port uses (different from the one on 1st port that connects to broadband router/network). Unless you bridge your ports, the other devices can talk to you and each other, but not the internet. Semi-educated guess :)

There's a sibling comment outlining the negative health effects of nicotine, but there are also significant financial effects: maintaining a nicotine addiction is expensive.

I don't have to even think about it and it's worth every penny.
US mercenaries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackwater_(company)

One issue with mercenaries is that they're not subject to military laws and will be hang if captured. Like it happens with few american citizens captured in Ukraine by DNR.
When you have a monoculture, it doesn't matter how good the spec is.

Even if the spec was as precise as a source code of another browser, that's not what devs are writing for, so code in the wild web will inevitably deviate from the spec.

interesting how Twitter is evolving from a 140-char microblog platform into a mishmash of different vaguely related and tenuously connected services/features:

- main timeline
- direct messages
- Spaces (audio chatrooms)
- Communities (sub-timelines)
- Newsletters (this still exists? will it, if Notes gains traction?)
- and now Notes

and probably more I forgot. I wonder if they'll eventually go full-circle and add a Podcasts feature. but I just use Twitter for its core timeline feature and rarely ever engage with the rest of it. I'm not sure if Notes looks like a necessarily appealing place to post longer-form content as opposed to Substack, Medium, etc.

This is a popular theory on reddit, but it's not true. Birth rates are extremely low even in countries that paid parents to stay at home with kids and generally have good work culture.

You would also expect birth rates to be lowest among people working 2-3 low-wage jobs, which is also not true.

As financial stability and safety increase, birth rates go down. That's the only common driver of it.

Historically, children were sources of unpaid labor. They worked (either at the family business or outside the job), raised younger siblings, and took care of elderly parents.

In short, children were (and sometimes are) a social safety net. What happens in societies that try to eliminate poverty, take care of the elderly, and ban child labor? A lower birth rate.

Low birth rates are not a problem (and reflect enormous amounts of social progress). We just need to solve the Ponzi scheme of retirement and elder care, which I think is doable with automation.
The modern Westphalian nation-state may just be an accident of history, eventually replaced by other mechanisms.

Arguably it already has begun; tech monopolies are starting to provide "government-like" rules and enforcement.

Mind elaborating a bit? How is your app doing? What's your model - a free and a paid version or just ads?
I don't remember last years' but this was pretty mediocre indeed. E.g. after the first two graphs, I used autoscroll (middle click, move mouse) so that I 'saw' the whole page and all the graphs loaded and animations triggered. Then ctrl+up and read more comfortably.

How stackoverflow builds this in when flashing content is such a common annoyance, I don't know. Sure, you don't want to load a megabyte of data for when people open the page for just 2 seconds, but there are animations on top of the lazy loading, the actual data is not that large anyway, and the loading distance is not hard to increase either.
For starters, your content will not vanish when Twitter inevitably dies or decides to suddenly kill this feature.
Nope, nope, nope that's not how statistics works. Median != Mean

Could you please help me understand further? I found this a bit contradictory:

> None of them seem to have accomplished spectacular feats of learning

> many people who have accomplished spectacular feats of learning DO often use spaced repetition

---

Second note:

> Spaced repetition is a good tool for learning vocabulary.

This might be a misconception? The first ever published paper about spaced repetition was about vocabulary.

But research has shown its merits are valid for many other types of knowledge.

By the way, memorizing coding vocabulary is arguably similar to human language vocabulary.
Precisely.

Nah. EU is "the west" too, and it's more people than US. And maternity leaves here are around 6-12 months. Population still decreases. Significant part of EU was under communism and had baby booms then despite abysmal pay and much WORSE standards of living then than now. Now their populations go down despite the face they are much wealthier and well off. I live in Poland. There's no comparison, when I look at photos and videos made in 80s in my country it looks like 3rd world. I haven't realized then but now when I look back it's crazy how much changed. But people had kids then and don't have kids now.

What changed is perspectives. In communism you'd earn almost the same no matter where, how much, and how well you worked. And money mattered little anyway, you couldn't buy anything with them, you had to have connections to "arrange" anything (even basic building materials were "arranged" through social networks not bought from a shop). So people invested in families and big social networks to survive. And had lots of kids cause there wasn't much else to do. No career to sacrifice, no recreation other than drinking and partying. No internet. TV had 2 channels and most people had only black-and-white receivers. Culture was only accessible in big cities. Half the families had no car. You couldn't travel abroad easily. There was censorship. There were blackouts at the night.

Why not have kids in these circumstances? What are you losing?

Now your standard of living depends mostly on your education and working ethic. And it can vary greatly. Sky is the limit. You can have a yacht. You can travel all over the world. You can be unemployed and live under the bridge. And anything in between.

You don't need other people to survive. Money are very important. Career is an option. There's LOTS of ways to spend time and money. Having a kid is a big sacrifice in this world. So people work more and have smaller families.

The parts of each country that are less wealthy are usually also the parts with highest natural growth.

Basically - economic growth and development reduces natural growth. Pro-family laws are nice, but they don't change the basic calculation of pros vs cons as much as the changes in societies did.

CPU overhead for encryption is basically non existend.
That is true to a large extent today. Sadly, most of the foundations of the tech we have today is based on tech we had developed before governments were involved to level they are today. Cars, trains, engines, CRT, film, computers, telephone, building materials, and much much more, are seemingly only being tweaked. The rapid pace of truly innovative tech has waned. Is this because of government involvement? Is this because our understanding of basic science allowed us to pass some threshold, only to be stymied by the increasing complexity and having to devote more time and material to test the nuances?

Blockchain was supposedly created by a single person. The Federal Reserve Bank of the United States has mentioned creating a digital currency. As they pump more money into that idea and develop some neat tweaks or totally control blockchains, will we look back in 50 years and say, "Look at how much the government did for blockchain." forgetting that it exists in the first place to spite them?
You can get full products that do higher speeds over longer distances at lower cost, search term "vdsl repeater".

It's possible that this product handles bad wiring better as it's ethernet rather than VDSL2, but I think those devices are a much better fit.

One thing that might be better with an ethernet based standard is the ability to add multiple stations to the same link, relying on ethernet's error correction.

Most people who are lactose intolerant aren't aware they are lactose intolerant, and many people are lactose intolerant.

Chances are, you are lactose intolerant but you were adjusted to the side effects as being normal until you had a period of your life where you were not dealing with them.

For a lot of people, lactose intolerance makes them a little gassy, or changes their bowel habits. It's practically negligible until they get away from it for a while and experience relief from the symptoms.

If you are lactose intolerant, you should probably try to not trigger that response, or take lactaid supplements when you are going to knowingly eat lactose so that your body has something to digest those sugars. It's a minor adjustment that can make your daily life just a little more bearable.

It’s definitely not sufficient for success but it is often a necessary precondition. People get caught up on the randomness, but hard work increases the number of dice rolls you can get in life. I’ve seen it pay off many times (and I’ve also seen it fail completely)
One of the reasons I wrote the linked article is that the wisdom around is quite fragmented and one (there’s always more than one) frustrating answer is good design makes software testable: “the deep synergy between testability and good design”: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4cVZvoFGJTU

Writing unit tests for software that is testable is easy. The hard part is to write testable software. But then there’s people who will argue that making software testable often leads to “test damage”.

As always, trade-offs & personal preference.
Just going to chime in with a non political fact: the withdrawal treaty was done by the previous administration, the planning by the military.

Good! And I already said previously if more people had your diet and life-style then we'd be in a much better situation environmentally.

And the next evolution from that would be not having to kill BILLIONS of animals for meat. We can create meat subs from plants, e.g. beyond burgers or wait for meat grown from animal cells also known as cultured meat.

That's all veganism is. No cruelty, death and destruction when it's not necessary.

Common trope which if you'd actually read through any real-world data, is nowhere near to be true.

One basic example: https://jobs.braveclojure.com/, five pages of jobs that are all about Clojure (and some others languages + Clojure)

Not to mention when you're running a Clojure company and you go out to find candidates, most of them are really good and you won't have to look for very long, as long as you can compensate them well, as the competition between companies (for candidates) is fierce.
> I'm not splitting hairs. I'm engaging in conversation to the best of my ability while under the weather, which is generally true of my interactions on HN.

Not sure if my phrasing got this across, but I didn't mean "splitting hairs" as an intentional act or in the sense of spreading division or prompting argument, and I didn't interpret your comment as making a really strong claim in either direction. I just interpreted your comment as public musing, same as what I was doing.

I only meant "splitting hairs" in the sense that a person who runs into temporary lactose-intolerance will still have trouble for the duration of that time period. For whatever it's worth, I didn't interpret your comment as trying to say that temporary changes couldn't exist, or that you were supporting a potato-only diet, or that the OP was lying, or anything like that.

At the end of the day I'm not a doctor, I've got no idea what a potato-only diet will do to someone's microbiome. I'm just posting stuff on the Internet.
