> I think a startup could overcome the break-of-gauge limitations pretty fast with moderate investment (and less red tape)

I am not sure what the angle is, here. Variable-gauge trains are things we can build, and as a matter of fact there are a bunch of them crossing the French-Spanish border every day. It’s not some magical disruptive technology that boring old engineering firms could not crack.

It would not solve the issues already mentioned, which is that infrastructure is built for a set gauge, and wide-gauge carriages cannot physically fit in some places in a narrow-gauge network.

And the red tape is not at this level anyway, it has to do with certification, with which the startup-ness of the designer won’t help.

Not everything is best solved by just setting up a startup.
Or from a rational perspective.

Killing a baby is an effect on someone around(technically inside) a person.

So while it's not contagious, the effect of killing someone is the same.

And therefore no bodily autonomy should be allowed in this case.

It's the exact same logic used for covid restrictions.

You don't have bodily autonomy in cases where you can hurt others.
Thanks for creating this new version—and thanks so much for creating OSG in the first place! I’ve been using it as an educational resource since I found out about it.
I just read this story for the first time and gathered similar insights on character, intelligence, and personal excellence.

What stood out to me most was that he consistently tried to excel with what he was given. To do better for himself, and to help those around him.

Another point that stood out to me is that from his most gifted vantage point, he correctly identifies the all too human fallibility of his Scientific Observers. Jealousy, greed, and feelings of inferiority.
Sites like this are great but make me wonder if I'm the only one who prefers using high level ide menu options instead.
CFA and CPA are not really comparable (even though they're both 'finance'). A CPA charter is closer to a JD degree / bar exam in that it is the necessary entry requirement for a legally defined profession (with quite steady demand). A CFA is more like a Master's in that it can help you get an interview for financial analyst jobs, but it is neither necessary nor sufficient to work as one. But it can help a great deal, that's true, especially when you're transitioning.

Also, those are some pretty serious things to do as a hobby.
There was also VQF from Yamaha, people seriously had discussions on whether MP3 or VQF would become the dominant format.

Oh also Fraunhofer uploaded the mp3 source to the ISO website for years with no license, let the community build on it for years (I feel like they knew) and then asked everyone for a minimum of 10K USD.
It's in the FAQ. Scroll to the bottom of this page:

"What can I do to reduce GitHub Copilot's suggestion of code that matches public code?

"We built a filter to help detect and suppress the rare instances where a GitHub Copilot suggestion contains code that matches public code on GitHub. You have the choice to turn that filter on or off during setup. With the filter on, GitHub Copilot checks code suggestions with its surrounding code for matches or near matches (ignoring whitespace) against public code on GitHub of about 150 characters. If there is a match, the suggestion will not be shown to you. We plan on continuing to evolve this approach and welcome feedback and comment."
If we're talking about trying to stem the destruction of wild species here (The problem really isn't about domesticated honeybees), then you should definitely consider the fact that spraying at night won't help those wild bees which are nocturnal [1], nor does your point of view on these address the fact that these pesticides have a degree of environmental persistence. [2] This isn't demonization, it's just straight facts when there's plenty of alternatives out there which aren't feeding the giant agri-industrial complex behemoth.

Not exactly a direct response, but see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrison_Bergeron which imho is the best statement for gifted education that I have ever seen. It anticipates the current situation better than any speculative fiction.

Again, they would simply either argue that the rights of the fetus supercede the rights of the mother, or that even though the mother has a right to bodily autonomy she would be committing murder and could still be put on trial for murder.

These are lines of arguments they already use. A constitutional right to bodily autonomy doesn't change the math at all.
Yeah, the trick sometimes is ask for "burglar alarm" or "actual two-wire" or similar so they give you a real pair to the CO.

Rust in incremental build mode is not slow at all, I really don’t see why people say so.
Take a step back and think “why would the economist publish such an analysis that is clearly subjective”?

The answer is the analysis gets tons of press, people get worked up over the rankings, share the link, more eyeballs, more arguments, more eyeballs —> more ad revenue.

It’s the same reason starts up do blog posts of analyses, it’s free PR.

Pretty clearly it works based on the HN discussion alone.

> Collective intelligence is not the same as individual intelligence.

How do you know? :)

> If human attempts to enslave AGI, it in my opinion will be the end of any humans who feel that’s appropriate.

One of the results of Cybernetics is that when two systems are connected the system with the greater variability is the control element. So yeah, from first principles, if we make a machine mind with more variability than we collectively have then we're automatically the slaves, whatever the surface appearance.

> you agree true AGI is not a threat, which to me was what I was addressing

Yes, but I consider my (our) opinion to be faith-based in the sense that I don't think one could scientifically prove it.

> not “almost” AGI; point being that much like a child grows up, true AGIs will too ...

Kids can do a lot of damage, eh?

> and they will independently communicate with each other without human interference.

Sure, but I don't see how this connects?

> While I would agree corporations are a great example of clustered collective intelligence, governments are far more powerful; for example, by law, governments by definition have a monopoly on violence.

Sure, but governments by definition are the legitimate (more-or-less) expressions of a nation's self-rule, they are supposed to have agency.

Corporations, on the other hand, are semi-independent of any particular human grouping or interest. In a very real sense they are independent organisms running on a "substrate" of humans much like multicellular lifeforms "run on" cellular collectives.

I think this part is really telling:

> And worth mentioning, the question’s partially moot for people using Github or other hosting services where some GUI tools are built-in. Using the CLI for all interactions with Github, and using the site for the visualizing diffs & branches is totally reasonable.

GitHub's branch view is uniquely awful, and doesn't try to call out branch history at all. Commit lists should either include a railroad diagram or only include the left-facing history. Anything else is just inexcusably broken.
Add a Blockchain and that sounds oddly realistic.
I think you phrased it well. The distinction I wanted to make is that it's more about clarity of thought than absolute brevity.
Funny. The way I found to not get yelled at for having too many commits is to just “git commit —amend” every time I want to checkpoint and only push when the ticket is done.

Git has an extraordinary collection of foot guns and unwritten rules. I’ve been using it three years and often feel like I just get by (and also the devs who came up with the conventions in my org maybe could have chosen better)?
This is great! Very juicy visualization. One bit of feedback though: some of the algorithms take a while to complete, and it doesn't seem like I can "stop" or "reset" while it's running?
Lots of people are negatively impacted by these regulations, even if you personally didn't feel as if you were making much headway in enforcing them. The difference is that you only see meaningful results if you can enforce the regulations nearly all of the time, whereas the individual victims of these regulations are significantly harmed when they're enforced even once.
But you're still going to have a worse history than you would have by just letting git merge Do The Right Thing.
That's an exaggeration yes, but not that much: I was in the USA for a project, I want to try a local gym and they give me a 60+ pages or so contracts!

Here, and at least in most EU country, the contract is just one page with the list of services and the relative monthly or per-entry fee + privacy notice. It's not even a real contract in the end. All I need is a generic medical certificate that declare I'm healthy enough to go to the gym.

Surely it's not a valid meter for a country, but still a significant sign of really exaggerated bureaucracy where a lawyer might be needed just to be sure not get trapped somewhere.

I’m trying to write a helpful reply instead of downvoting. If you use those kind of criteria to determine someone’s knowledge, you’re going to come across as dogmatic, reductionist, etc. I doubt you are really that way, but it’s how it comes across, and it doesn’t make for good discussion. I’d suggest laying out why you think someone’s preference for a gui means they know nothing.
Profanity is simply unnecessary in all but an extreme minority of cases. I judge the people who use profanity liberally to be simply unregulated as to how they dish out their emotions. Either that, or they don’t spend enough time around kids. In the remote environment, you never know who will hear what you say.

I work on a project that has been around for ~8 years and there have always been ~5-10 people working at the same time on the codebase.

Nobody rebases, nor do they squash branches on merges into the branches. It's about as good as you'd imagine.

Worth noting that carpenter bees are also furry fat bees, and often confused for bumble bees.

Carpenter bees tend to be a bit shinier, and at least around me, bigger. Which is how I can tell them apart.
Yeah: How is it possible that "she's been unable to work for the better half of the year" is a direct consequence of Dell customer service being bad?

If the job isn't important enough to merit buying another laptop to do it, maybe that complaint is exaggerating the impact just a tad?
The whole point of being alarmed of the Bee Apocalypse is that you look at the honey bees as an indicator, just like the lichens on trees are an indicator of air pollution (few lichens mean a bad air quality).

When honey bees are dwindling, pretty much all the insects are too.

The Bee Apocalypse has not gone anywhere, it's just still here, and it is in fact an Insect Apocalypse, which is many orders of magnitude worse.

As an American, I recognize that Abortion is a complexed issue where both sides believe they are representing good and opposing bad. It's a little disheartening to see how easily both sides demonize the other side.

I know this is a controversial opinion and will probably get a little hate on HN's, but I would support almost all issues being decided at the state level. This allows people to move to a location that agrees more closely aligns with their political views.
Perhaps it is that they actually are curious, but the amount of knowledge to be had is quite substantial.
While walkability should be a factor, less walkable cities could be better than more walkable cities due to other factors that impact the standard of living - opportunities, public transit, housing, etc.
Aren’t there still some wild dogs, cats, horses, sheep, goats, and everything else humans have domesticated? Or are you being very specific about what went extinct, or maybe predicting future extinctions (in which case I’m curious more about what you mean?)

Ocaml, Standard ML, F# or maybe some lesser known one? Right now I'm mainly using Go because of its simplicity, rich ecosystem (many libs), great docs, great tooling etc.

> which one would you rather read? No one fails to pick this one.

I actually liked the first one better. Sure, it had to "contend" with a not-so-easy-on-the-eyes monotype, but I liked its organization and I very much liked the ASCII art divider line at the top.

The second one felt like someone was too much in love with the "Center" alignment.
Yes!

AOL was a major component of many people’s lives back then and there has been literally no way to emulate or reproduce the experience 20 years. I’m not saying it was a tech utopia or anything but I consider it to have somewhat historic merit. For that brief period of history, the internet experience was unique and only a certain generation really lived with it.
> I am relatively certain that MS committing their entire code base as training material would do the trick, if that's what it took

I am more than relatively certain that it would provide far worse quality, if not be unusable by developers on average.
I wish they were as careful of other's people's code IP as they're with their own.

If this is not derivative work, how come they didn't use their own codebase instead of taking the opensource ones ?
Either their codebase is low quality, either they think it would leak their IP, meaning it's derivative work. Neither solution sounds great for them
The problem with high level IDE menus is that they are a leaky abstraction. And when something goes wrong at a lower level you are stuck only knowing how the abstraction works and need to figure out the how the actual tool works at the point of maximum stress, in situation complicated by something already having gone wrong.

I don't have wilderness first responder but I do have wilderness first aid and keep it more or less up to date.

I wouldn't try something complicated like a traction splint unless there was really no other option and possibly even then--not sure they even teach it in WFA any longer. But, for the most part having a weekend class to refresh a lot of first aid isn't a bad thing even if you don't practice it all the time, may have forgotten some of the details, and maybe your splints aren't the world's greatest. But so long as you're cognizant of your limitations having some even somewhat stale first aid training is probably better than having none.

Author seems to understand how a certain kind or degree of grief makes people crazy -- I spent a year or two in that sort of condition after a couple of untimely deaths in the family, (as well as a couple of other personal setbacks) when I was younger. I think some of the superficially negative reactions in this thread actually describe the authentic insufferable-ness of persons in such a state. They can become bitter, nihilistic, self centered, unreliable and just bizarrely ill-behaved. The story might seem overwrought and hard to believe, but I was really like that for a while, and couldn't seem to stop even when I knew it was happening.

>Socket is shared across several calls. The only thing that's a bit of the eyesore is that extra socket being passed around. But this is a problem that can't be gotten rid of. You either pass the socket all over your code or in the OOP example you pass an instance of a logging class around.

The concept of a "logger" (defined as an interface, for example) isn't tied to any particular implementation. Imagine you have 1000 files that pass sockets around (a plausible scenario because logging is essential). The requirements change and we want to write to a file or use a third-party library. You will have to change 1000 files. If I use an interface, I only touch the initialization code (often 1 single file) by plugging in a different implementation - all 1000 files immediately start using the new implementation with no effort. That initialization could be a dependency framework of your choice, or manual initialization. In OOP, you usually don't pass dependencies around as function arguments, you inject them in constructors once somewhere at startup time and forget about it. So no, it's not only about calling the destructor. If you emulate this behavior with structs, it's still OOP, just without the syntax sugar.
