The standard western diet:

Grains & pasta (bad) - Meat (bad) - Cheese (bad) - Sugar sugar sugar (bad) - processed foods (bad)

Basically everything in "cultural" cuisine slowly kills you.
Point out anything as a general concept of a "meal" and you'll find that, yes, that meal is bad for you. Not surprising most people are fat

Funny, I agree with you on both points: that in principle, all links should open in same tab and let the user choose to open in new tab, as needed; and that in practice, I filter all external links to open them in new tabs - though still feeling a bit conflicted about it.
Switch to Linux.

If the capability and stability of your development workstation and tools are important to you, there is no better option than a platform controlled and continuously innovated by the community itself.
It's ironic, but HN is one of the most anti-startup communities out there.

I think because running a startup is well within the grasp of most people here, but there's a personal reason not to, and like religious or political beliefs, it gets amplified.
On the other hand, absolute freedom (and convenience) of expression for each of our disembodied and anonymized selves is problematic in the opposite way.

To bypass the sources of those chilling effects by remaining anonymous may in fact only allow them to grow stronger.
Initially, I attributed the difference in the sentiment of the show to them being developed by a different team of writers. However, reflecting further on the matter and taking into account that similar changes occurred in other sci-fi franchises such as Stargate SG-1 vs Universe, it does seem to be somewhat related to the eras' changes in their perception of the future.

Regardless what the reason may be, I would like to see a return to shows like Startrek Next Generation or Stargate SG-1 and a depart from their current versions. A return to the exploration and selflessness that contrasts our real-lives' hardships, socio-political discussions and routine. The utopia of Startrek.

I, for one, could not wait to engineer my next thing after an energizing episode of exploration focused sci-fi. Something that does not happen after watching the dark, emotional facsimiles of today.
Well, interestingly Microsoft claims that Windows is the largest git repo on the planet (2017).

And it looks bigger than Linux by its repo size:

> the Windows code base is approximately 3.5M files and, when checked in to a Git repo, results in a repo of about 300GB. Further, the Windows team is about 4,000 engineers and the engineering system produces 1,760 daily “lab builds” across 440 branches in addition to thousands of pull request validation builds.

I'm not sure what any of that is supposed to mean. You might be conflating my comments with someone else's because I'm not singling out anyone. Unless you're chafed at my use of your own words -- I assure you, it was meant as a kind word of caution and not as mockery.
Made me think of our old student project - a drawing robot with CD-ROM tray mechanism that handled a marker pen and drove on a piece of paper with stepper motors and toy wheels, drawing arbitrary vector images: https://youtu.be/GWRNpv_topQ?t=50

It took it a while to draw anything though, and you had to be super careful to not pull on its cables while it was working as that would destroy the drawing - it had no way to orient itself in space whatsoever :)
I felt the same way years ago, but in my case, that frustration was born out of lack of familiarity. With familiarity, I came to like the changes and directions the language was going. Maybe it's Stockholm syndrome, though.

In the end, I'm glad that Python is changing to meet the changing developer zeitgeist, even if I might have to play catch up with new features sometimes. It means Python will stick around and won't be considered "old and outdated" and fall out of use because it failed to keep up with what the developer community wants and expects. It's also the same reason why I'm glad that Go got generics.
Pod learning, on the other hand; allowed teachers to teach and non profits to provide the benefits of a 6 person classroom.

I'm really glad to read this. Kubrick really lost me at the end. I thought I was just not getting it. The first 2/3s though are as good as any film I've ever seen.
His replies make me reminisce the good old days when digital TV was first introduced in my native Brazil all the way back in 2007.

It was most people's first contact with actual HD video (remember, DVD's were king back in the day with a resolution of 720x480).

Suddenly, everything needed to be "digital"! You saw combination front-door locks being rebranded as "digital locks", ovens with a timer function being rebranded as "digital ovens", motion sensing faucets being sold as "digital faucets" (although this one specifically felt more like a hail mary to get those insufferable things some traction in the home market). You get the idea, any old regular household item that they could stick a piezo buzzer in there was trying to surf the hype wave.

But my all time favorite was when they tried to rebrand video doorbells as "digital doorman's", which is ironic because it relied on 100% analog composite video. lol.

The same thing happened again when Avatar (the movie) sparked the resurgence of 3D movies, with some companies being as desperate as releasing "3D White" toothpaste into the market. Fun times.
The paradox of tolerance was aimed at those who would with "fists or pistols" prevent others from sharing their views and was premised on the right of self-defense.

In historical context, it's seems squarely aimed at the paramilitary organizations of various movements popular around the 1930s or so who physically injured people for saying things they disliked.
Generally anything that does not fit the ideologies of a typical reddit mod, and yes they will have certain belief systems, as most people do not have the time or desire to be moderating even for a few hours a day for no monetary rewards, which the average reddit mod sort of needs to have.

This is why reddit leans heavily socialist/communist/anti-capitalist (moderated by people who believe moderating for free is more important than a real job).

Its a rabbit hole to dive into, but once you dig deeper you realize just how much political manipulation is occurring, not just in reddit mind you.

Its tearing apart society.
The Black Museum episode also touches on these themes. Like the repeatedly executed prisoner.
I'm also liking strange new worlds, although the latest episode was really boring.
I've watched Star Trek pre-Discovery ad-nauseum since I could watch TV; easily my favorite singular piece of media/franchise. What JJ Abrams, Alex Kurtzman and the rest of the production brain-trust have done to Star Trek is an absolute shame. Maybe it's hubris, money or a heavy-handed Paramount not fundamentally understanding Trek but it's been a real tragedy watching something I love being systematically torn apart and become a shell of it's former self in the worst way.
I rambled on and forgot to make my point.

My point is, maybe the same way those markets couldn't figure out the fact act of creating a "digital faucet" did not automatically made all the existing faucets "analog", this guy can't figure out that because he made a piece of software that can do things without being explicitly told what to do, does not automatically make it "AI".
> This new wave of Star Trek is internally consistent, then, in harboring a pessimistic view of the future, one that seems to emerge from a particular contemporary sensibility.

This is very accurate. But it has nothing to do with liberalism.

The view of our current future is bleak if you're young. Climate change is poised to devastate large parts of the planet, disasters that used to be once in a century will be once every few years. Corruption is increasing, what leaders are getting away with now would have been totally crazy to think about 20 years ago. We live in a gilded age more extreme than in the 1920s, where the rich hoard the majority of resources. Many of the technologies that were supposed to lead to freedom and utopia have turned into a stark dystopia, like the internet, that threaten the very foundations of freedom. At the same time, the basic necessities (housing, education, healthcare) are almost out of reach for most young people. If you don't already have a house, it's hard to see how you will ever get into the market now. College is insanely expensive. And healthcare, particularly childcare since this affects the young most, has become completely unaffordable. New wealth isn't shared anymore, since income become disconnected from productivity. Social mobility is down significantly. The rich barely pay taxes compared to everyone else. Major new social projects are increasingly unaffordable, that's why our infrastructure is crumbling.

The US is coming apart at the seams in a way that hasn't been seen since the civil war. It's hard to see how the country will ever come back together. No one sees a path toward this. And one party is going down a dark road (they just had a convention in Hungary to learn how illiberal democracies work).

These problems aren't specific to the US. They're everywhere, different counties are just at different points along the path of decay. There's now a nationalist party running at the federal level in Canada. France almost voted for a Nazi party. Poland and Hungary are barely democracies. Almost every index worldwide is going down sharply, from freedom of the press to the corruption index.

Star Trek isn't dark because of liberalism. It's dark because in the 1960s through the 1990s we lived through a golden age. Housing was affordable. Education was affordable. Healthcare was affordable, and childcare wasn't a hurdle. Major climate wins were made (acid rain and the ozone hole). People were getting richer (at least until the 1980s). New technologies seemed poised to make life better.

Star Trek is dark because the future we see is dark. And it's getting darker.
I've certainly had interviews like that. In fact my first full time job out of uni was one of those and I made the error (in hindsight) of sticking it out until I could transfer into another role. Now I'm much more careful to screen for sys admin keywords in job descriptions.
You have a point in that codepoints aren't useless. But I'm in agreement with the author that they are not the majoritarian concern, and so, they shouldn't be the default way to access a string.

Instead, there should be enough flexibility to use them, bytes, or whatever representation you need. But the default interface should still pretty much be grapheme based.
>That's not an argument, that's a conclusion without any supporting arguments. Dismissed as nonsense as easily as posited without effort.

This is HN not nature. It's not a scientific debtate, just a general conversation so the level of proof is not super high.

You just have to trust me that I'm born in China, and Fantasy is not Wuxia. Just like you would have to trust a black person when he says he's not white. Don't go calling a black person white and don't go around saying you can move fucking star wars into Ancient China to a Chinese person who knows the culture and the genre.

Actually don't listen to me. Go ahead and say whatever you want to people. When a black person tells you he's not white, demand a scientific inquiry to prove he's black.

Either way agree to disagree. I think star wars if sci-fi. You don't.

But I will say, if you ask most people, most people will say star wars is sci-fi. At least we can agree on that point.
In addition to what @pdpi said, for me, there are a couple of key factors why the larger form factor makes sense..

When I am shooting birds and wildlife, I want to control the iso, shutter speed and/or aperture without taking my eyes off the viewfinder. Further, there are several times where I would tune the focus which means switching to manual and back to auto as needed. All of these need appropriately placed wheels and switches. Small form factor makes everything screen based and hard to access.

The second and probably the more important aspect is heat dissipation. Sony A1 shoots a 50MP image at 8k and can shoot upto 30 frames per sec with compressed raw. Its autofocus system runs at 120 times/sec. All of this processing needs a lot of compute and that heat needs to be moved out somewhere. A large form makes it easier to have decent airflow between components.
You got 6 channels? What luxury that must have been?

We only got 3 reliably - the ABC and CBS affiliates, and an independent UHF station. That's right, we couldn't even get NBC programming. Once in awhile it would come through, and rarely the indie Channel 5 from NYC.

There was a small city several towns over, maybe a 25-30 minute drive, that had a daily paper. Locally we only had a weekly.
It's worth thinking about the consequences, but I don't think a realistic solution is "just don't try to improve software security"
> For things like "The majority of sampling methods are unsafe and incorrect in the presence of offset axes" I agree that this is just some unfortunate combination of library code and concerns that the library authors had not considered, but the numerous correctness issues in the language and stdlib seem like they would often make it hard to figure out what exactly the problem is.

I am not sure what we are arguing here. You asked what Yuri originally wanted to highlight and I answered based on my own insights. I have re-read what he wrote and I still stand by my conclusion and I see no point in arguing back and forth as I have stated here and in a comment when Yuri’s post was originally submitted [1] that all the issues are derived from how Julia as a language handles types and dispatch. Everything beyond this is arguing minute semantics and frankly very uninteresting compared to a discussion as to whether it can be resolved and how.

> Sorry about that. I'm not sure how to highlight the recurring nature of these less-than-factual posts and their effect on some members of the community while respecting the wishes of those people.

Not sure if I can consider this an apology when you in your very next breath make exactly the same kind of vague statement that I called out in the first place. Since you apparently know these people, how about collecting their opinions and presenting them anonymised? Likewise, if there are lies spread across so many posts, why not simply collect and refute them? This all seems obvious to me, but maybe I am missing something? In fact, I find posts such as yours in very stark contrast to what Yuri wrote and accomplished with his post, so perhaps you can find inspiration there?
I mean, the economics of National Socialism aren't what people usually hate about it, they hate the authoritarianism where you were either their kind of socialist or they would beat you up and cast you out of society, even if you were some other stripe of socialist.

So they became nearly universally hated by fighting anyone who wasn't one of them.
The Orville is inconsistent and often unpleasant.
I assume the reason is that it's not about a super hero and/or it can't have 5 prequels and 7 sequels spun off if it. Seriously, why can't we just have an occasional great story that has an ending?

I am well aware that pharmacists can and do refuse to fill opioid prescriptions. The difference is that they refuse to fill opioid prescriptions based on fill patterns that are suspicious for criminal activity: If one person came in with an oxycodone prescription from Dr. A last month and Dr. B last week and from Dr. C today, that triggers some alarm bells and the pharmacist may refuse to fill the prescription. If Dr. A is writing 10x more opioid prescriptions than any other physician, that may also raise suspicion.

What a pharmacist does NOT do is refuse to fill an opioid because they think the prescriber or the patient is being dishonest about the prescribing reason even though they don't have any specific evidence to support that. What a pharmacist does NOT do is refuse to fill an opioid because in their opinion it is unethical to take opioids for any reason, even reasons that are considered medical standard of care. But that is exactly what happens with misoprostol.

Some examples:

Refusing to prescribe due to ethical beliefs:

> A Walgreens pharmacist refused to provide an Arizona woman with miscarriage medication, citing his ethical beliefs.... Several days before going to Walgreens to pick up the medicine, Arteaga’s doctor told her that there was no fetal heartbeat and she would have a miscarriage.... Walgreens said in a statement that the company had contacted Arteaga and apologized for the handling of the situation. However, the pharmacy chain noted that the pharmacist had not violated its policy with his refusal.

Source: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/25/walgreens-pharmacist-refused...

Side note - This is a miscarriage. What ethical beliefs apply when the fetus is already dead?

Refusing to prescribe due to not believing the patient and/or prescriber:

> A Michigan woman says a pharmacist for a regional supermarket chain denied her medication prescribed to treat her miscarriage because it was against his religious beliefs.... He could not “in good conscience fill the prescription” because he thought she wanted to use it to end her pregnancy, the letter states.... Peterson explained to Kalkman that her doctor said the fetus was not viable, but he responded “that was just [her] word," the letter says.

Source: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/meijer-pharmacist-denie...

Refusing to prescribe with no explanation at all, even when the indication is universally uncontroversial:

> One Austin pharmacy chain sent a letter to doctors in December saying it would no longer provide methotrexate, even for ectopic pregnancies.... “I have interviewed 20 practicing OB-GYNs, and almost all of them have said they had a patient who could not get a prescription filled at a pharmacy when they had an ectopic pregnancy,” said Dr. Charles Brown, the Texas representative on the board of directors for the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

I tried to impress my 11 year old with the opening sequence; flames belching over LA, Vangelis, etc. -- which I've always found aesthetically stunning.

He was not impressed. This made me sad.
This is the best bet if the OP is looking for an existential thriller.

> doesn't prioritise images over information

This is, to me, the clincher. Is old reddit perfect? God no (i sometimes block certain elements to clean it up), but the information density is vastly better.

I read/scan quickly and don't care much about images. I can very quickly see if there's anything of interest on the page i'm on, and then move on to something else, or queue up a few comment threads to read through in other tabs. If there's an image, it's usually trivial to quickly zoom in to look at it rather than even bothering to load it again (hit or miss depending on quality).

It's obviously not perfect, but I don't think it's just nostalgia. I legit desire something fundamentally different that what new reddit is trying to offer. I'm looking for a website i wouldn't mind quickly browsing from the terminal using keyboard hotkeys, not something that I swipe forever on my phone with. Even on the phone though I prefer old reddit (was best on firefox for mobile with blockers but i'm back on apple so i need to look into my options.)

Someone like me just wants more text based/information dense screens that can be quickly navigated and then drilled into if i desire more information/content.

> Uber owes almost a billion in non paid social security and worker expenses in Switzerland

I totally agree with your basic point, but can the amount you've mentioned be true ? I'm assuming you referring to "almost a billion" USD. Tesla sold ~5,000 cars in Switzerland last year. The European HQ is in Netherlands and manufacturing/assembly is split between Netherlands/Germany, so I'm assuming that Swiss employees are essentially sales/service. For a hundred cars a week how many of them can there be ?
Perhaps, but I saw no reason for it to be named Star Trek. They should have named it anything else and I'd probably have enjoyed it more.

I think the first half was perfect.

But then once the second half starts, it really feels like whole scenes are just omitted from the movie, it’s kind of all over the place (indeed, Ridley Scott says the whole film is over 4 hours).
I'm not sure you realize it, but TOS, TNG, DS9, and Voyager were all extremely preachy. Picard is literally known for lengthy preachy monologues about how people should be.
