Wrong question. I think you meant to ask "Why can't I stop reading HN?"

I suspect very few people obsessively look at HN all day. The site doesn't have any inherently addictive quality, especially when compared to other social media platforms that actively try to steal time and attention. A few people might spend too much time scrolling through HN out of boredom or procrastination, they should ask themselves why they choose to do that rather than looking for something "addictive" about the site.
Find your nearest juggling club on https://jugglingedge.com

Not exactly free but very cheap - you can buy props for a few bucks and they last for years. Not exactly solo but pretty close - many Jugglers are introverts that go to juggling clubs mostly to practice by themselves in a corner.

As a bonus a large proportion of Jugglers are also SWEs so it's a great networking opportunity. I have personally received multiple job offers from fellow Jugglers.

TLDR version. UP switched to some fancy "efficient" system several years ago, laid off thousands of employees. At the time many people predicted collapse of the company in a couple of years. Three years later it is plagued by rampant theft and trash on the tracks. This year it refused to ship fertilizer during planting season. It also refused to ship additives to diesel fuel earlier this year (amidst general truck shipping issues and skyrocketing fuel costs). Meanwhile the CEO is smiling like a Cheshire Cat and giving out Bloomberg interviews about efficient management.
I think the colloquial term for (edit; the most commonly well-known) many wild bees in English is "bumblebees". They're often burrowing species that don't have honey producing hives (They do stuff like make little caves in moss, dirt, and underbrush), and are often crucial pollinators of certain species of plants which are specifically attractive to certain wild bees (Orchids are a good example here) but which domesticated honeybees might not even touch.

I was once dreaming how cool it would be to get into beekeeping but after realizing it might be at a greater detriment to wild species in my area those dreams have become somewhat faded.

"flagrant polluters."

This is such a sloppy take, backed by no data. If anyone would spend 10 minutes analyzing GHG and other emissions they would find that BURNING / USING these products is what produces the most emissions. So 40 million+ tons per year easily (in the US) of JUST carbon monoxide. FAR worse globally. Billions of tons of CO2. And heads up, LNG is much CLEANER than many other fuels currently in use, particularly coal.

Have used just about everything at one time or another since Fogbugz back in the day. Recently canned Jira at current shop and went through several rounds of "what's next" with the team. The goal was not to find something everyone liked but to arrive at something everyone could agree sucked just a bit less than Jira.

TL;DR We arrived at Google Projects Beta and to our collective surprise just about everyone likes it a lot. Took a bit of experimentation with custom fields to setup — what makes our boards sing is the timeseries custom field type. Makes it easy to map our long term goals over the individual data points.

One minor quibble we solved with some name spacing conventions for issue titles to make it easier to scan a gird of issue titles and see what are "parent" issues and what are "task" issues.

Summary of our decision making process:

Jira

Because of complexity, at the mercy of the individuals putting the most time in Jira doing the setting up, organizing, creating tasks, managing workflows, etc. This encourages top-down flow, not team collaboration.

Has a lot of structure and opinions about data buckets and workflows. This is optimized for project managers types managing engineering types. Encourages treating engineers as a fungible commodity (imo).

To state an opinion bluntly, terrible tool for non-engineering tasks. Which engineering tasks should be synergizing with.

Trello

Easy, everyone can use and understand. Without creating a whole bunch of additional structure, happy path is a hodgepodge of cards organized loosely. This scales very badly.

Creating structure in Trello mirrors the mind of the person who does the structuring...per board. A single team might have a nice snowflake to be proud of but diffs between teams/boards can be jarring. At the organization scope you still have hodgepodge.

Shortcut

Easy, anyone can use, people like to use, different disciplines can use, comes with Just Enough™ structure, organized view from any scope (org level down to specific teams over to specific sprints down to specific individuals), easy to zoom in/out....

So my grandpa was an engineer and I love railways...

"different signaling systems, different voltages for electrical trains" isn't that much of a problem nowadays. There are almost always enough multi-system engines available that can cross borders and cope with those changes. We have a jumble of voltages in Czechia and yet another voltage on our German/Austrian borders, and trains go through without a hitch, not even slowing down, full speed.

A break of gauge is a different beast: a real tough problem. Even the railcars are wider on wide-gauge railways, which means that they cannot pass through some European tunnels etc.

Frankly, the only solution is to re-gauge the entire Ukraine to 1435 mm and introduce a new fleet of railway vehicles there. As an added bonus, that would complicate further Russian invasions in the future, as the Russian army still heavily relies on rail for its logistics.

This will be expensive, but the EU could pay for that, plus a lot of that work could be done by European contractors.
In my second-hand experience, foreigners that do not speak German well are unfortunately sometimes not received friendly by government and other public staff. I don't know anybody with a darker complexion closely enough to comment on how they are treated. My suspicion is that they would feel a little like they stand out, and then depending on their German will be treated a little bit worse on average. (Sad but my best guess.)

Educated young people don't believe in pensions but usually also don't have a backup plan. People 45+ expect to receive a pension.

>Why should code be copyrightable?

This was an open question for a long time. Is it just a set of functional instructions about how to do something (which wouldn't typically be copyrightable) or is it a creative work?

It wasn't even an interesting question in the early part of the computer industry because software was mostly something created so that companies could sell hardware. Or it was written for internal use.

However, in 1974 the Commission on New Technological Uses of Copyrighted Works (CONTU) was established in the US and decided computer programs were in general copyrightable. Congress added this to copyright law in 1980.

I thank that is a crappy attitude. If I am on a dive and there is a lost diver or some other incident in the area, I want to have the skills to be able to help.

I would note that "asked or expected" is different than "required", so there really is no downside to doing a rescue diver class or a divemaster program. In fact, I highly recommend it and it was a lot of fun.
Something like a container crane? I'd argue even that is too complicated.

Bulk cargo like grain is often unloaded like this [1]: doors on the bottom of the wagon that allow dumping the cargo next to the rail, or in some configurations below it. Loading happens by dumping stuff in from the top.

Now it doesn't take much to make a structure to have one train drive below and lightly to the side of another, enabling one train to dump their cargo into the other.

The problem with all those solutions is that they have to be built, and before the war Ukraine had little reason to invest. Shipping bulk goods by ship was cheaper, thus train infrastructure for them was neglected. It's the same story as Europe underinvesting in port infrastructure for unloading oil and lpg because in peace time pipelines were cheaper.

> How is "reflog" the correct and intuitive choice for "undo"? Was there something I wasn't understanding? No, I'm just supposed to accept that.

Actually your initial intuition was correct. There are things you obviously don't understand about git. "reflog" is short for reference log. As "git help reflog" will tell you:

Reference logs, or "reflogs", record when the tips of branches and other references were updated in the local repository.

It isn't arcane. It's perfectly logical choice for what the "git reflog" comand does, as explained in the man page: "This command manages the information recorded in the reflogs."

Now if you don't know what a reflog is, you will be confused by this. But the solution to that is for you to learn what a reflog is. And yes, in order to use git well you need to have at least a rudimentary understanding of how it works.

I know that some people do find git hard to understand. Often that is because they want it to work a different way than it does. But git is a fairly complex tool designed to solve a very complex problem. It does an outstanding job of doing what it was designed to do. However, if you are not willing to invest the time in understanding git to a minimal level (and many people aren't), you will find it to be confusing.

There is no need for "sanity" to "come to the naming of commands" for git. The commands already have sane names. But if you don't know what those names mean, it will seem to you as if they are in a foreign language. Most of the confusion people have with git is due to them having an insufficient level of knowledge of how it works. Again, if you want to use git well, you have to gain that minimal knowledge . If you are not willing to do that, then you should either become willing or choose to use some other version control program that is more to your liking.
You didn't read the article, did you? The author did not diminish CCD. Let me spoil it for you, this is the summary

"It’s really just a matter of time until there’ll be too few bees to pollinate some of the flowers or too few insects to support some of the birds, or too few birds to spread seeds and so on. And we may be able to fix a few of these problems with technology, but not all of them. So, while it is important to talk to your kids about the birds and the bees, it really is important to talk to your kids about the birds and the bees.

We simply don’t know what’s going to happen in response to what we do, and I’m afraid we’re not paying attention which is why I’m standing here recording this video. Because if we don’t pay attention, one day we’ll be surprised to be remembered that in the end we, too, are just part of the ecosystem."

Our situation is still really bad and we don't even know the extent of how bad it is. Everyone just reflexively has to believe it's not really the end of the world as we've known it for most of human history, and that we can't really be bringing about an extinction cycle that will end a significant percentage of species. We are, though, every scientist in the field knows it. We are inducing a hot earth out of the planetary cycle because of carbon dioxide at the same time we're weakening ecosystem. It's going to end badly, and instinctively we all know it.

if you assert from that metaphor that the computer's "entire reason for existing" is to look up ip addresses, you've gone beyond metaphor. People don't have an "evolutionary purpose," evolution is just a thing that happens when ecological pressures are present. People do this all the time and it's really annoying. We don't need a secular version of intelligent design.

And it's relevant because even if you assume that there's some magical driving force to persist a species, there are ways individuals contribute to it other than having offspring. Thus, it is not their sole purpose.
lets bowdlerize everything!

oh wait fuck that let’s not.
My suggestion is that we build a dedicated freight network of Soviet gauge and SA3 couplers and leave the existing network for passengers.

We're only going to need more capacity for climate-friendly transportation of both passengers and freight, and stronger tracks and couplers for heavier trains is going to help with efficiency of the latter.
> Dalle can make a team that has one designer go to 0 designers.

It is the same as what happened with digital photography. In the old days every single publication, no matter how local or modest, that wanted to have a photo to accompany the text needed a photographer. With the invention of digital photography and smartphones, this is no longer the case. Any writer or editor can snap a picture themselves and often it even looks kind of ok.

However, for a real "professional" look and and quality, you still need a skilled expert to take care of the imagery. Because part of providing the image are the mechanics of producing one, but another part is knowing/deciding what the right image is for this occasion. The latter part can only be done by humans for the foreseeable future.

The result is that it is much easier to acquire some picture for you publication, but also there there still is a need for professionals that can do it "proper".
??? I have to imagine you've misread the thread and think that I'm saying states should be able to unilaterally restrict minority interests.

I'm actually arguing against someone who made that argument.

> > If voters in a state don't want interracial marriage to be legal, should people outside the state have a say?

> Yes. if you even have to ask...

That's called a rhetorical question. Person I replied to said that majority of people in a state should determine if abortion is legal. I say that the purpose of the judiciary and a well-crafted representative democracy doesn't just allow the majority of the people of a state to run roughshod over an unpopular minority-- whether that minority wants to be trans, have interracial marriage, or get an abortion.
It's a shame the author didn't go further into CreateML , the app.

I can honestly say that I won't be buying another Dell. A BIOS upgrade on my PowerEdge T40 changed something in the ACPI area which caused one CPU to spin constantly at about 50% load.

After numerous attempts to get information out of Dell as to what they changed, I gave up, because all I received was corporate doublespeak and non-awswers.

Please America stop using more and more artificial modern chemicals in your farming and go back to tried and tested agricultural methods.

Your soil is getting destroyed through mega tractors. Your buying everything glaxo can sell and your harming your own wasteland that for some reason you grow copious amounts of corn on.

I believe it works similarly in countries with taxpayer funded healthcare. Some group of people at some point in the process decide what is eligible to be paid for by the government.
I'm always surprised how Americans have a radically different interpretation of diversity. This debate always comes up.

Large American cities have many minorities that tend to congregate socially and geographically, hence "Koreatown", "Little Russia" etc. You have your Cuban-Americans and eat Thai food.

An American will say this is diversity. I guess it is in a sense, but with very flawed integration. Other countries also had large influxes of immigrants in the past century and they eventually are integrated, enriching themselves and their host country in the process. I wish people would reflect more why this doesn't happen in the US.
That seems like an over complication when you have automatic gauge adjustment system [1] (already in use) that can change the cage while the train travels through it at 15 km/h. At the same time you can easily build locomotives to run on electricity of any voltage and also diesel at the same time. Also changing locomotives at boarders is quite common in Europe so even if you can't get the locomotive to work you can switch them easily.

We have a light rail here in Zürich Switzerland that is a Tram while in the city and a Train when it is outside. It switches from 600V to 1200V and back halfway through the journey and it does this all day long without any issues. [2]
