A question for those of you still using vim. Why do you use it over Neovim (if you have heard of it)? Neovim is backwards compatible with existing vim packages, and has a better looking future as far as longevity (multiple maintainers vs benevolent dictator) along with using lua for scripting (there's still support for vim script).

I can't quite think of a good reason to keep using vim over Neovim, but I was curious if anyone had a reason.

Creative Science is excited to announce that we are launching a behavioral science and product design online course. We developed it from our CEO's, Nate Andorsky, book, "Decoding the Why", and it will provide a foundation in behavioral science and a framework for conceptualizing and testing successful product and feature ideas so they more closely resemble product market fit in the first go.

The course will be taught through a hybrid model so you can work through lessons independently as well as come together with Nate and the rest of the cohort for collaborative discussions, feedback, and new perspectives. We will also be offering a fully self-paced option.

Click the link below to find more information on the course and submit your information for enrollment. Behaviorally-informed products is the future and we would love for you to join our first cohort so we can help you up-skill to get ahead of the curve!
This is an extremely tortured reading of "bearing." SCOTUS has never determined that "bearing" means that any disposition of a firearm is acceptable; they have repeatedly determined that the Second Amendment does not extend a universal right to brandish (or not brandish) a firearm in any way you please.

Scalia is extremely explicit about this in District of Columbia v. Heller[1]:

> Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose. For example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment or state analogues.

The story pacing was horrible. However thematic elements in the story were revolutionary sci-fi at the time. The whole AI/replicant/consciousness thematic elements really spawned from this movie.

Terminator 2 is an example of a movie that sort of built on these concepts but had incredible pacing.
Ooof, no HN comments before coffee. Thanks.
Given how easily they reimburse customers, I suspect it's intentional - one can be "fixed after the fact" and the other can't - if your site goes down during a slashdotting and you lose sales, etc, there's no getting those back, but if you inadvertently run costs high, they can just refund/cancel those costs.
Depends at what stage. Current abortion friendly states do allow killing unborn babies at 7-9mths pregnacies. They follow your definition of fetus isnt people even though these "fetus" can survive even back 100 years ago without modern healthcare interventions. With modern healthcare, the number can dip as low as 4-5mths. Essentially you are ok with exterminating babies (the moment this fetus pull out of the world they are babies and can survive and actually some do cry but executed in abortion clinics). Not every pregnacies are at the first few weeks of pregnacies. Those if you choose to consider as non people fetus, a lot will agree. Unfortunately majority of pregnancies are terminated in the range of 4-9mths. I suggest you do a bit of research a dark market exist of those fetus organic materials that these clinics are engaged in. Think for a second, these clinics are not free to operate. The people coming in for the service isnt paying exorbitant fees like those in typical hospitals charging patients or insurance. Something else must befunding these...if you say tax, then isnt it weird, people getting forced to pay for others misadventure? The ruling is exactly that. Some states that are pro can go on as usual. Some states that are not pro, can stop funding it. At the end of day each states behavior dictate by the people votes. Why a small minority groups insist everyone else to food their bills?
Rules required to make sure the militia was “well regulated” (functioning properly). But the rules (other than race, money) only excluded those without equipment, everyone was still a part of the militia otherwise.
Something I never got around to setting up that you might find interest in if going for a few different "modes" is using NFC tags / stickers to trigger the light change. So you can have a couple stickers on the wall or w.e and tap you phone to work or hobby or normal and have things change automatically.

going into the phone isnt really a big deal, but I always felt setting up a physical trigger would be way smoother mentally
I want to offer two counterpoints to common sentiments here regarding AWS billing.

1. Don't be afraid of playing around with AWS (and even spending some money). AWS is really good at refunding you if you accidentally rack up a couple grand in surprise bills. Also even if you legitimately spin up big servers to try a kubernetes cluster for a couple of days, that $20 you spent is almost certainly great bang-for-buck for the benefit of learning that experience and getting your hands dirty with AWS.

2. AWS billing is actually really good for what it is. If you've ever run any non-trivial operational system (in the real world), you would know how hard it is to collate all expenses and get them tallied up. AWS collates all billing data with ~24h lag and you can slice and splice it to your heart's content. After all it's a complicated distributed system that they've managed to build that doesn't slow down your services or otherwise get in the way!
Deno is an open-source javascript runtime similar to node.js.

You're talking about "Deno Deploy", which is a commercial service based on Deno and by the same company that maintains Deno.

Your comment will look rather nonsensical to somebody who is only familiar with the runtime.
It also shuts down an entry into the world of web development (and development in general). Sadly, I know some see this as a feature, not a bug, but I know a number of people who are great developers who started out doing HTML/CSS and learned programming (JavaScript and much much more) along the way. Some are in very high positions now at companies most of us in this industry are aware of. I'm not saying they wouldn't have found another way into the industry, but it would have been significantly more up front learning before they could start working professionally. I know that entry-level positions of that nature (mostly just HTML/CSS) are getting more and more rare, but to me that is very sad and limits the potential for some really great people to be part of our industry.
People just use whatever their programming language provides. There's a concept of sorting "stability" in which equal elements stay in their original order relative to each other. If stability is important, then usually some variant of merge sort is used. If it's not, then some variant of quick sort is used. If the list, or sublist you're working with is small enough, insertion sort is used.
Patriotic feelings or values? (Admitting that both the left- and right-wing sides of America's culture wars have been doing their best to stamp those out for quite a while now. Ditto the "Greed is the One and Only God" capitalists.)

I used to work for a defense contractor and I heard that they had moved away from Ada to C++ for newer projects like the F-35. I don't think that one went so well.
Why... might the answer to that depend on the applicant at all? I don't know what you're getting at. Is this to find out how much time is spent on Mandatory Fun and other such garbage?
I appreciate your point, but I also remember hearing that exact argument being used against Python in 2001. A Perl developer was explaining how Python was a nice language, but would never be able to make in-roads into business. It was too hard to find a Python developer and most programmers don't to want to learn a new language. Furthermore, CPAN provided such a wealth of packages that Python developers would have to implement for themselves. He did concede that Python code did tend to have fewer bugs, but the previous mentioned advantages, alongside the fact that it was much easier to write Perl than Python, meant that Python would never make business sense and Perl would settle into being the Lingua France of the development community. The guy's site even required a Netscape plugin that allowed him to script pages in Perl instead of JavaScript, which he stated was merely a stopgap until Netscape officially added a Perl interpreter into the browser.

This was about five years after industry representatives argued that my school should stop teaching C or C++ and focus on the more modern Visual Basic. They explained that, by the year 2005, there would be more COBOL jobs than C jobs. Meanwhile, a semester of Visual Basic experience would guarantee the students a lifetime of employment without learning a new language.

I'm under no delusions that Haskell will be the next Python or that Python itself will go the way of VB, but it always makes me take these "industry" arguments with a grain of salt.

But even more important than delicious flavors and meticulous care is Japan’s gift-giving culture. It is a sign of respect to give gifts for business dealings, for special occasions and social events, or when returning home after traveling (known as omiyage). High-quality, expensive fruits are a valued symbol of respect within this practice.

Ah, if it was only the thought that counted... :)

Honestly though, I wonder if there's a cottage industry around expensive gifts in Japan, if this is the case. Is it easy to market a new fruit growing technique to produce the hot new omiyage and sell it at an insane mark up? Because that seems to be what matters more than utility or thoughtfulness.
Not exactly, because this example from Deno is using Preact, a stripped down React-like framework. Server Components relies on React fiber and the latest async features in newest version of React. They do both aim to limit the JS sent down the wire though.
Don't forget 'forge the most beautiful, magical set of jewels in the history of history, and then Satan will steal them from you, so you and the boys go on a bloody, genocidal crusade to retrieve them, bringing everything you touch and everyone you meet to ruin.'

That, and 'structure your society towards acquisition of material wealth and technological advancement, so you start plundering and enslaving your neighbours, and eventually, under the guidance of Satan Jr, you decide to invade heaven. And get Atlantis'd.'

Asking why ME didn't have an industrial revolution is looking through a very particular, very uninteresting cultural lens. (It's uninteresting because 'economic growth at any cost' is a common, and rather uninteresting modern view on life, and rarely takes into account it's externalities. Which Tolkien really, really dislikes.)

Tolkien's Middle Earth doesn't need, or want more clever, vain people. Most of the horrible things that happened in it were caused by them.
Isn't this encouraging spamming MORE communication because the inbox or whatever channel is full?

Now what?

I half suspect the just "hello" messages are a form of this whole game, rather than write a whole long block of text that might be ignored, they think they have to spam someone so they just fire off a hello... and maybe another ... https://nohello.net/en/

Great job guys...

Depends on the context but I really don't want to have to follow up with everyone. It happens in some cases so I will, but as a rule having to repeatedly follow up means I stop caring. If someone is so busy I always have to follow up I'm not wasting my time just to hope to get their attention ... maybe.

Rice and beans are considered hazardous cargo because, when exposed to moisture, they expand significantly and can rupture their packaging.
I am entirely correct. The comment does indeed violate the guidelines, and I will point out exactly which ones:

"Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation[...] Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community."

"Eschew flamebait. Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents."

For instance, "For instance, "It's all about kumbayah and spreading positive vibes in the "community"" is snarky, not curious, sneering, flamebait, and a generic tangent.

"Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something."

For instance, "Part of being in crypto involves suspending disbelief, even your own." is a shallow dismissal.

> Just because you disagree does not make something unthoughtful

Your attempt to try to use a low-effort emotional argument to distract from the fact that the comment does, indeed, violate the guidelines is not appreciated. This is not about "disagreeing" - this is about the comment not having value and not adhering to the guidelines. It's pretty clear that statements like "Part of being in crypto involves suspending disbelief, even your own." and "It's all about kumbayah and spreading positive vibes in the "community"" aren't suitable for HN if you actually read the guidelines.

> as evidence by it not being removed post flag

Which is clearly not evidence - the mods likely don't look at every flagged item, and other users can always vouch for a comment that violates the guidelines but that they agree with (which is the behavior being displayed here).
I don't know the answer, it's an honest question.

Obviously having children changes your life completely, it is a huge burden and you have to "sacrifice" a lot. But almost nobody regrets it. Probably because we are hardwired to have children. The joy outweighs any sacrifices.

I don't know anyone that wishes they hadn't let their children be born, no matter how harsh their circumstances.
Be that as it may, it will never even come close to the 100s of hours of leetcode grinding.

It's not even the same order of magnitude. Like I mentioned, it is common to spend months grinding leetcode. How can people rationalize this and prefer it to a closed scope assignment? I honestly don't get it.
>>She has the right to control her own body and her own life

You know, the sad thing is the party whose mantra has been 'my body my choice' for the past 40+ years, completely lost that moral high ground when they started demanding that people get vaccinated against their will - and yes, there were plenty of people talking about forcibly injecting people, even though it never happened, and yes abortion vs vaccines are not the same thing - but its either 'my body my choice' or it's not - the message and meaning was crystal clear, up until 2 years ago.

The were no shortage of pro-forced vaccine people who were saying 'yes, the government can force you to do things to your body against your will' - and now in light of the abortion debate trying to make the 'my body my choice' argument again just rings a bit hollower.

I said it to my spouse the first few days when you had mainstream politicians and talking heads on TV calling for forced covid injections, I said 'this is going to blow up in their face', and, imo, it did, the absoluteness of 'my body my choice' argument, is no longer as clear.

Did this directly cause the SC to revoke RvW, certainly not, but imo, the 'my body my choice' argument has been tainted.

Is that kind of a container less capable than just about any client (except embedded of course)? Sorry if it's a stupid question. I'm not familiar with web SSR.
I disagree. I have the same same mailbox I’ve had for 20 years and have lots of unread emails.

I have to prioritize time and use the time that I would spend on 100k unread emails to better purposes. I think there’s probably zero important unread but tons of unimportant stuff.

I think people have very individualized email coping mechanisms and I work on not assuming that my method works for everyone or thinking that someone has “no excuse.”

If you are gainfully employed and produce good work and are professional to me, I don’t judge your email.
Perhaps Travis would only have 25k emails if not everyone was expected to send him 4 emails where 1 would have sufficed.

Or to manage his inbox rather than spending time reading self-help and 'art of productivity' thought pieces from 'very important' people / his self-selection of 'influencers'.

I'm reminded of an article entitled 'Wanted: employees who are good at getting things done' https://www.ft.com/content/d77f4d06-4fc0-11e4-908e-00144feab...

The 'getting things done' take-away was, conscientiousness.
My assumption is that it caused by the fact that democracy is broken in the US. They have only two parties, whereas most countries in Europe have many.
With only two parties the differences get exxagerated and causes polarisation. With only 2 parties is often a question of "them or us".

Ask to join a standup, ideally with the team you'd be on, if they do them. If there are five teams working on unrelated projects all in the same standup and everyone's checked out and they're all clearly only talking to their manager and listing every little thing they did and trouble they overcame yesterday, to justify why they should keep their job... run away.
They don’t need the capacity to become human they are human. How else would you describe these unfertilized eggs except as living organisms, species human? Unless you want to suggest your ancestors are egg, human, egg, human, egg, human …

If you want to give all humans the same rights then they should clearly qualify. Of course giving an egg, fetus, or baby the right to vote in an election is going to run into some practical problems.
> It's not killing someone. A fetus isn't a person.

At 13 weeks, a fetus looks a heck of a lot like a baby: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Threedimensional-3d-ultr... (3D ultrasound image). And Roe guarantees elective abortions for another 9-10 weeks after that.

> A fetus isn't a person. It's not sentient. It doesn't have hopes and dreams.

Neither does my infant!

> Lots of people are uncomfortable with the concept of consequence-free sex.

Lots of people are uncomfortable with ending human to eliminate the predictable consequences of sex.
Hey look, it's the very same bro culture that caused Travis Kalanick to have to step down from Uber in the first place!

Maybe it's true, but acting like it should be true, and insulting the people reading the article for apparently not knowing it's true is toxic masculinity.

Is the author an early Uber employee? That would make a ton of sense, and if not he would have fit right in.

Exactly! You will never learn anything about JCL from a COBOL textbook. Heck, I'm not sure a JCL textbook (if they exist?) would be of much help either. When I went to college I was in the last group of students whose client/server classes were all mainframe based. We had a class where JCL was taught and a valid answer for "Why is JCL syntax so irregular?" on the exams was: "Because it was invented in Berkeley in the 1960s and everyone was on drugs."

I need a little amount of money to sustain myself while doing open-source and building my own product.

I imagine that finding a full-time job won't be hard. However, I have no idea where to approach this when it comes to short-term work. I have a lot of experience and I think I can be useful to a lot of teams, even in the short-term.

Do you have ideas on how I can approach this?

Update: I think either 2-4 week project or 2-3 hours a day for a longer period will work for me.
