Thanks, I have and that is where my original position comes from. Got some good alternative perspectives today though. Interesting to hear the same thing as evidence of either position.

My fav part of the channel is the rest of the team. One thing you can't fault Linus for is his ability to hire entertaining characters and promote a fun environment. That is a great skill. There's at least 5 other people there who could be YouTube empires all on their own.
Maybe for email. TF2's spam filtering got worse -- the game is now overrun with malicious bots, and is unplayable on public servers.
And then hands it to his wife, who types it on a typewriter and edits it. I think the assertion is very much pencil + servile wife + typewriter > computer.

He has a workflow that works for him and has produced great works with it. Where this all goes awry is when his criticism strongly implies that the computer might not be better for others (who may not have a wife that types everything for them, for instance).
Right now the price is zero because the government is giving it away for free.
It sounds like the $22k energy saving cost would not have been a meaningful contribution to a $1mm/unit cost of construction then.
Having a comparison of video chat platforms makes sense (Zoom, Jitsi, Nextcloud Chat), having a comparison of live-streaming platforms makes sense (Twitch, PeerTube, OwnCast). However those are really completely different.
For a single payment, they can throw away all the metadata once the funds hit their bank account.

They _can't_ do that with recurring subscriptions, since they need something that links to your CC or PayPal details to re-bill it next month/year. They've chosen to not do that any more, possibly as performative privacy, also possibly as having real privacy concerns for their clients, and also also possibly so they can tell law enforcement and courts to stop bothering them when needed. (realistically, it'll be some combination of those three things, and possibly others I've not thought of, that triggered them into this)
Having companies be employee-owned (which is commonly referred to as a worker co-op) is absolutely a political topic -- implementing policies to allow more companies to become worker-owned was part of the UK Labour Party's manifesto in 2017. Just because something is political doesn't make it bad.
There are billions of acres of cropland on planet earth we could use to grow food.
>I'm of course writing this in jest - hopefully they wouldn't have to be that draconian - but why hasn't anyone tried this? Is there not an electoral majority?

Because the electoral majority is a part of, or gets kickbacks from, the massive amount of bureaucracy! The vast majority of voters own property, and having a constrained supply benefits them, so barring a massive economic crash that wipes out most their property values.

Why would they ever change their ways? Clearly, people are still dying to move there, because that's why the prices are so high in the first place- so unless California became the next Detroit (and there are no signs of that so far) they're going to continue.
I do get motion sick in VR when I use games or apps that move you around like you are flying/walking. For Eleven Table Tennis and Demeo, there is no virtual movement, just physical. For Demeo there is very little virtual movement either.

Same with Golf+. Avoid the virtual walking/flying stuff and just occasionally teleport. No motion sickness.

What does current price/share have to do with value of a stock option? The price/share is what I PAY to acquire the stock ... if I buy it at that strike price and it's valued at that price I have zero net gain. I've had various conversations where people making offers in more mature companies try to correlate my potential stock option grant X price/share as some measure of worth. It's only the gain that matters.
If you’re gonna go with anecdotes, its been going pretty well as Valve with having no hierarchies (aka “devs in charge”).

But that sort of conversation isn’t really useful. Study after study has shown employees’ job satisfaction doesn’t scale infinitely with compensation, other things start to matter after a certain income is reached. With many highly paid software devs, I would wager they are at or beyond that point.
Again you are bumping the waters. Users were asked permission for Facebook to share their user data. Saying Facebook has a poor track record because they had a more open platform in the past isn't true. Now Facebook is more closed and locked down because giving people the option to share their information is apparently a bad thing according to the public.
I was referring to both the original post, and Xe's older post that this comment thread is about. They both list claims made by V and describe details how they tested those claims and what their results were.

> And why would Facebook be the one who actually figure out how to build some super appealing virtual world

They don't need to build a super appealing virtual world, they just need to figure out how to get you coming back to something every day, even if you don't like it and/or think it adds negative value to your life.
Maybe I'm uninformed, but are those technologies not a long way off?
I can only provide anecdotal data but every single person in the dev world that I've talked to would disagree. Having unlimited virtual screens is useless if you're limited to how much of the screen you can see it at single time given the extremely limited ~90° FOV.

Furthermore, the resolution on a Quest for viewing actual text for long periods of time is entirely too low, and that's not even considering the fact that it can be very difficult to get the entire virtual screen to be in focus given the fresnel lenses. What do you do your programming on, a TI 83 screen?
I actually think the thing that is going to make VR mainstream is more comfort from going to goggles or glasses rather than headsets. Or even better, something you can attach to glasses.
It should not IMO (and almost certainly will not) be made illegal. I’ve worked with or near maybe 1000 people in my almost 30 year career. Many of them I’d love to work with again or to refer to friends’ companies. Others, I have the opposite opinion.

It seems beyond unreasonable that I couldn’t make use of that information in choosing who I will work with professionally.

To me, it’s a clear-cut freedom of association (and/or a freedom of speech) right.
it's never bad to the users benefit. Always works in favor of the corp. I wonder why?
Everybody wants "affordable housing" - but many do not want more people. This is the fundamental disconnect. Many folks just do not want to make it any easier for more people to move in. They would like rents/prices to be lower though.

This is how we end up with rent control and tight building restrictions - because it solves both problems. Roll up the drawbridge against new people by blocking development, but then make the housing affordable by fiat.

The only remaining problem then is 10 year waitlists to get into one of those rent controlled spaces. Bummer on that...
Unless getting in and out of VR becomes as easy as putting one and taking off a pair of sunglasses, it's never going to become mainstream. Some serious disruption is going to be required to get there.

Compare it to the PDAs (e.g., Palm Pilot) of the late 90s early 2000s. They were cool, but hard to use. Though they were popular, they were far from mainstream. Then the iPhone came out, and a few years later everybody had a computer in their pocket. VR sorely needs a similar disruption.
27M points at 385.7 years. I added an ice giant at a 1:1 resonance with the highly elliptical orbit. Looks like it wasn't perfectly in resonance, but it was close enough to get the 385 years.
either way, your examples resulted in employees leaving and starting a competitor, which were net positive for the industry. They didn't create a union. They grew the industry as a whole which was better than any union could do at the time.
Jira isn't great but the Confluence editor causes me more frustration than anything. And good luck getting anything in or out of Confluence with their document model.
You clearly don't understand farming - it only works when water is free.

If you make them pay 0.1% of what residential customers pay, farms will go bancrupt. Because the volumes of water required are so enormous. You could improbe efficiency 2x or 3x, but ir won't matter financially

Thatswhy water desalination doesnt work for farming
The scoring for the game should probably be points/year averaged out over the last decade. :)
I was looking into netboot.xyz recently, as I do Raspberry Pi development. I'd love to be able to just run a VM that lets me load a few different Raspberry Pi OS images and choose which one I want the Pi to boot into on next reboot. netboot.xyz seemed promising, but I couldn't figure out how to use it.

The docs don't explain much.[0] I tried running the Docker container and couldn't figure out what to do with it. I didn't see a way of uploading new images to it, and I didn't know how to refer to the netboot.xyz container as a PXE target.

Has anyone found a good guide on how to use netboot.xyz? Is netboot.xyz capable of doing what I want? (i.e., I load different Raspberry Pi OS images onto netboot.xyz in a VM/Docker container, and then I point my Pi to network boot from the netboot.xyz server, and netboot.xyz serves the Pi the OS image I want). The Pi natively supports network booting[1], but I don't know if I'm putting the right pieces together.

Yes, it’s competitive with airlines but it’s often more expensive. This makes sense as it’s nicer, but I think people looking at the system from overseas don’t realize this. That might also be due to how good the unlimited flat rate tourist passes are.

Besides renting/owning a car, the real cheap option for intercity travel is night buses.

Apparently this has been fixed: https://github.com/owncast/owncast.github.io/commit/17223f35... I think the idea was to attribute the page to the author's Facebook profile in Facebook's graph.

Maybe they saw your comment?
The fact that you refer to humans by their made-up rank numbers is indicative on its own how unpleasant it would be to work at AWS. Sheesh.
You are right in saying they created a net positive, and I am right in asserting that mutiny is not always a bad thing, which you are wrong on.
Go you can still use just fine too. I watch movies on mine from time to time. They unlocked the bootloader last year so you can do whatever you want with for years to come.
I admit I misread, and you do indeed use TCC.

I've just tested it, and turns out all C compilers are terrible at hundreds of thousands of print calls (for me Clang was stuck for minutes with 100% cpu usage).

The claim was made about actual code, like the V compiler itself, which is about 220k loc and compiles in 0.3 seconds, not some unrealistic test with a million of prints.

I'll make it clear on the home page with a link to the benchmark.
I think climate change is real, but I completely agree with your position here. Big Ag is just using climate change as a scapegoat, in order to maintain the status quo of sucking the lakes dry.
A friend once said, "You can't software your way out of an organizational problem."

The complaints on the site generally criticize Jira from a technical standpoint, but it's important to realize that every "technical" shortcoming is based on a perceived organizational need: you never need the feature just for the feature itself.

So yeah, Jira is far from my favorite software -- it's bloated, slow, and embodies many product choices that make no sense to me -- but it's also possible to hate it because it doesn't support <obscure feature X> in exactly the way your organization has been doing it since you were working with spreadsheets, and that's not Jira's fault.
i dunno, sounds reasonable to me. As parents sometimes we just need to say no. And not defend that to randos on internet.
This post and it’s comments make me appreciate how low hardware/os catastrophic failure rates have gotten.

I haven’t needed to do recovery disks, boot drives, rescue operations etc in so long. Back then it felt like I’d need to every few weeks.
> One thing you can't fault Linus for is his ability to hire entertaining characters and promote a fun environment. That is a great skill. There's at least 5 other people there who could be YouTube empires all on their own.

Yeah, agreed, it's a bit absurd to me how they've managed to collect so many actually talented, entertaining people.
> In Germany doctors used to be basically paid from a fixed budged.

Fixed budget for what? A patient or a case?
Ah yes, the old "people who disagree with me must be ignorant" routine. Not a good sign, but I'll take one more swing at it.

An all-you-can-eat restaurant where customers don't eat anything and you still keep charging them until they notice months or years later is indeed exploitative.

For something like an apartment, there's reasonable justification for long-term contracts and continuing to charge people without regard to use, in that it's an expensive good that has exactly one user at a time and where it can take a while to find a new tenant.

But that entirely vanishes with most internet-based subscriptions. If I stop watching Netflix, they stop experiencing marginal costs for me. If I get excited about a NYT subscription but then stop reading, it's the same deal. Nobody went out and bought another server just because I signed up. I could cancel at any time and they'd have to let me go. If they keep charging me when I'm not getting any value, then it's not a mutually beneficial relationship; they're just exploiting me. And indeed, maybe they were exploiting me from the get-go if their intent was to just get my money in without regard for whether I was going to get anything out of it.

People who take money without providing value are at best economic parasites, but quite a lot of them are just scammers, grifters, and frauds. Which is exactly why a law would be especially valuable here, so that their time and attention were devoted to some socially positive activity.
I’m impressed all of the pieces work together so well. I always wondered about both the girl and the slogan. This is the kind of thing they would’ve fictionalized in Mad Men.
Yeah, I've been following some climate folk on twitter. All they do is make dire warnings and ask for money. Personally, I know climate change is very real and quite dire, but so much "climate activism" seems to only exist to exist, and not to solve anything. I mean, all I want to see is a threat model and a list of realistic policies. But all I get is, "The earth is burning, and they don't care, so DONATE NOW!" Pathetic, and disheartening.
> Of course: there is significant risk to saying hateful and bigoted things outright, so folks resort to dog-whistling.

Conservatives make the same argument about things their in group finds important as well. Taking the lords name in vein, disparaging mohammed, etc. Your in group is in power so you’re able to speak power to truth, but it isn’t a principled or healthy stance.

Society needs to learn how to tolerate differing opinions.
Next level economic stagnation. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-61718906
I agree with everything you say. Calfiornia is growing lettuce and strawberries with field irrigation when we can go indoors and CEA. These crops are low calorie and low nutrition and trucked nationwide. Over 40% wastage cold refrigerated trucks have to be used. Criminal waste of water and fuel.

There is no excuse to grow almonds in this drought to export them worldwide. And sending alfafa to China for their dairy in boxes. California has lost the plot long time ago.
I have two A6000, they've never overheated. I've even forgotten them turned on for a solid few days and no issues. YMMV

Yes they have engineers but they're all nearsighted, uncreative and high hubris engineers with little to no empathy.
I've seem him use the Aventor brand from Shars of digital calipers.
That's not how water capture works.

I hope you understand that a flood is not captures water
The worst thing is that I nod along in agreement with all 9 points, and still find myself easily preferring a pragmatic well set up Jira (yes a unicorn) to juggling things around 25 trello boards or a siloed top down micromanaging corporate hellscape overconfigured Jira.

But the last time I enjoyed using Confluence was in the 1.x days with non wysiwyg wiki markup. Confluence been truly awful for a while now - eg why can't I ever find what I'm searching for?
seems to be a document from oct 1987 with updates from feb 1988 randomly interleaved?
Well first off they use private accounts so it's not announcing to the world, just people that they know. And many of them post the bad stuff too, especially when they are soliciting advice.
This is an incredible ripoff. The Z8350 had an MSRP of $21 when it launched six and a half damn years ago. What else has it got, a keyboard, track pad, a ten watt power supply? This thing has a bill of materials of like forty bucks. $150 is fucking insulting.
sprinklers are not an incremental safety benefit. they're probably the single most effective bit of fire safety mandated by codes. mandates to install them in single family homes is overkill though.

sprinklers are so effective that single means of egress + sprinklers should be the new building standard
"give up the risk by being an employee"

I have observed many folks join startups as employees, take on risk without understanding it and without a clear benefit.
The OP may well be opposed to the rainbow flag or not. The fact that they are not allowed to make a facially neutral “no politics on my home screen” statement without HN speculating about some political leaning seems to me to be a pretty clear example of how some progressive movements are encroaching on what used to be neutral space.
I thought it was related to the War in Ukraine
Do you need to blend it first before you put it into the container to be frozen, or can you simply put in the frozen fruit? I was looking into buying one but I wasn't able to figure that part out yet.
here is an example filter ruleset and you can find others on github. https://github.com/AllanChain/politics-filter

it’s nascent but with a few more contributors it should be usable
Do you have anything more legit because these posts have nonsense like "setting array length on creation is a terrible idea" (Go with its `make([]int, 5)` must be a terrible scam language as well) and measuring the performance of a debug build, with slow backend, without vlib cached, and with vfmt on.

You can see that V is actually as fast as is claimed on the website:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvP6wmcl_Sc

Same with other points from the author that publicly claimed that "V has to die".

Like I said, if "most claims are false" on vlang.io, as you claim, it shouldn't be hard to list 3 of them here.
You also haven't really made any good-faith effort to read the neuroanatomy textbook I tried to suggest to you in another thread.
You don't. But if I said, "I'm not being sponsored by a rival YouTube channel" would you just go ahead and believe me? What if I also linked to a bunch of videos from a rival YouTube channel while repeating that I'm not sponsored by them.
I’m not convinced the cloud version isn’t terribly slow.

There’s a ton more indirection for userids. Screens that used to be part of my standard workflow have Ajax handlers.
Even name completion is slow.

The #1 question answer on the old ui survey workaround asking why are you using the old ui: slowness.

Confluence also got clobbered. I can count page load times.
> Gym's pay rent regardless of you showing up.

In my opinion, that's the industry (at least here in .au) that are the poster-child worst example of dark patterns in manipulative subscription charging.

They are infamous here for doing fucked up things in an attempt to make it as difficult as possible to cancel your subscription. I had one friend who moved overseas, discovered his gym was still billing him monthly even though he'd emailed to cancel explaining they didn't have any locations in his new country of residence, and they tried to claim the only way to cancel his subscription was in-person at the location he signed up at. He had to lawyer up when he cancelled the credit card (and told them he'd done so), and they threatened to send his account to a collection agency. (On single lawyer letter got him a refund of all charges since the date of his original email saying he was cancelling, so they _knew_ they were legally in the wrong and wouldn't have a leg to stand on it of ever got to court.)

Yhose are all nice when negotiating working from home or something similarly minor - but when it comes to foundamental business model, these things are unlikely to move the needle.
your assumption that only poor people live in apartments is troubling and very american
Agreed. If users can’t act responsibly, and they haven’t been for years, then effectively nationalise the river. Cheaper to pay farmers to not grow high water use crops, cease meat growing like cattle, and leave the ground fallow for a decade at least.
My dad is in his 80’s and has all the tech. (computer, iPad, iPhone, etc…) Thing is, he doesn’t believe anything (true or false) from his devices. He just thinks that everything he reads is from someone trying to sell him something and/or part him with his money.

I’m not sure if he’s wrong.

What happens if a minimum wage is set but there are people prepared to work for less? Or under lesser conditions? And a company cannot hire as many people because they have to pay them more?

Isn’t it fairer to rely on the free market to set wages? There are shortages and surpluses in many industries that vary over time. Unions seem to just distort the market.

Reviewing employment contracts can be done by one’s own lawyer via legal insurance too. Why does this need to be collective? Why not pay a fee for services you use rather than union dues. A lot of the benefits you mention doesn’t need unionization.
I do think you're on to something here: a lot of what we feel is embedded in our bodies.

So imagine we put your brain in a vat; we'll give you a webcam and a microphone for input, and for output -- ah, sorry, budget constraints, just an old printer. You visualize typing on a keyboard in your mind's eye and the characters are tapped out irl on a long scrolling sheet of paper.

Would you still feel? Would you still feel like you?

I'd guess yes and only sort of, respectively. Perhaps you wouldn't be as interested in sex (or maybe it would depend on what mix of hormones the vat was feeding you).

I think we can safely say your sister wouldn't immediately recognize you, though. But given some quality time QA, I think she's end up concluding you were still you, and more than just a parlor trick.

But what do you think? Is it you? If it is, it doesn't seem THAT different from the computer program you, does it?
