> As a user of something open source you are not thereby entitled to anything at all.

Wait; I'm not even entitled to software not doing anything blatantly illegal on purpose, or perpetrating a privacy violation without my knowledge and consent?

Also, "open source" has an even greater focus on getting paid than "free software". Surely, if people are paid, certain entitlements exist between certain people, even if none of them happen to be the author.

E.g. if you use a phone that runs on a Linux kernel, you may be entitled to kernel security updates, at least for a certain support period.

By the way, as a user of closed source, you're not entitled to a heck of a lot, either; according to the reams of text in a typical license agreement. If the thing causes data loss, too bad for you, says the disclaimer.

Last summer when options were limited we had kids flying in for our summer programs. It’s not intense but you will qualify to join a school or club team in the fall.

This summer because of pent up travel demand for the last 2 years even our locals have decided to travel for summer. Some weeks are fully booked some are dramatically less.

Have you looked at SailGP Inspire? I’m hoping to have a few compete in their programs in the next few years.

> The C.E.O. then said the company needed to crack down and work harder than it had before, “turning up the heat” on internal goals and metrics used to rate employees’ performance. He said he expected some degree of turnover from employees who were not meeting those goals and that some might leave as a result of the intensified pace.

How does this compare to previous years? Was the company very lax before and now goes back to normal or was it stressful already and now turns into a hellhole?
Human beings represent 3% of all animals on earth by weight. At this point, 90% of all birds and mammals on Earth are human-raised livestock [1].

There is room on this planet for more humans, but taking it for our own comes at a cost. If we choose to use it for people, then it can't also be wild. So, we have a choice to make about the kind of world we wish to live in.

I think you just have you sign documents saying you're responsible for paying whatever the cost turns out to be. Why would a regulation be required to enforce that?
If you take a 'planetary boundaries' view [1] we're outside of the safe operating limits for several factors: Extinctions, land system change, novel entities, biogeochemical flows, and climate change. 'Solving' emissions would only really address one of those (climate change).

Take a theoretical world where population was drastically lower (or individual consumption is hugely slashed amongst the top consumers): We would drop within the safe boundary for all limits simultaneously, because the underlying multipliers for all of them are number of people and individual consumption.

And those statements literally ignore the centuries of systemic violence and oppression used to keep African Americans poor and in the lower class. We have designed a system which keeps opportunities away from specific groups of people and then when they have strife and conflict that naturally arises out of these extreme poverty situations we have racist assholes who come along and say "oh but look at the black on black crime" while literally ignoring the fact that they continue to support policies and politicians that, while maybe not explicit, continue to support the systemic structures that have caused the situation in the first place

We live in a complex system with many moving parts and the majority of people are supporting the system that keeps poor people in poverty generation after generation. When people have no hope and are constantly shit on by the people who claim they help, I'll give you a hint (it's the police), yea they turn to crime and violence because they literally have no options to survive

All of that on top of our hyper capitalistic system which states that anyone can achieve the american dream where the ultra rich flaunt their wealth is just rubbing it in the faces of those living in abject generational poverty

Yea, if we design and support a system like that you're going to have problems. And racist idiots who can't understand these systemic effects are parading around talking about "black on black crime" like that's the issue at hand. Its not, not even close. The issue is systemic poverty and suppression which creates the situation in the first place.

Since I know someone is going to come along and say some crap about "making choices": we have less choice than people think and free will is an illusion. Our conditions, surroundings, and chance largely determine the path we take through life. If you want to see an explanation of why free will isn't real, I have a long recent comment on it as a reply to this comment:

I have been cashless for years. It is convenient if you live somewhere that invests in the infrastrure that enables it.
I think the main mistake as concerns EVS (and many other environmental questions) is the belief that tomorrow will have exactly the same comforts as yesterday. If having to wait 45mn every 400km is the biggest price you’re paying for the carbon transition, you’re very lucky
Ask HN: Am I incompotent for web development?
Hello,

i am a foreigner Bachelor Student (Business Informatics) in Germany (came a half year ago). I had experience with HTML and CSS. One and half year ago, I decided to learn JavaScript also. I completed FreeCodeCamp course and The Odin Project. My Portfolio was enough to get my first working student job as a web developer on December 2022.

I then started with Tasks like removing the BootstrapVue UI Library and replace with regular Bootstrap in small projects. That took like 60h, because I had to learn vue first. My colleagues said but nothing negative about my work.

Yesterday was for me like disaster. I worked until 22 o'clock, (I had to stop at 17 o'clock) to find out that I'm running a microservice in a Docker Container and the changes I made on a mail template had no effect, when I send them, since I was working on local files. I feel myself an idiot and can't tell anyone.

Am I doing the right job? I can surely say, that I love frontend development and also backend with java and Python. But loving a theme is enough to do it as a job?

Edit: Thanks for all your comments, all of them very supportive and made my day better. This long-time failing experience is the first time in my life, so maybe I had to live and deal with it. And yes, I love what I do and how I feel. For me there isn't any better feeling, after fixing a bug/completing a task. From now on, I will reading the docs more and not trying hunt the exact answer on stackoverflow at first place.
Yup. The snippet I like best (which can act as a TLDR as well) from this is the following:

> If you have expectations (of others) that aren't being met, those expectations are your own responsibility. You are responsible for your own needs. If you want things, make them.
I no longer keep things on Medium as I don't support them anymore. I'm sure there is a copy on wayback machine perhaps
Is this one of those repos that auto-close any issue, regardless of the topic, after a few weeks of inactivity? Those always have so many closed issues!

Wontfix is the new completed, from what I can tell.
Nominally, yes, but the actual economical value of doing so is most likely an order of magnitude below what buying the power would cost (sun shining and grid needing more power is only loosely correlated, and batteries take significant time to pay off). Subsidies have a large impact here though.
Actually this is kinda funny. But ignores the main problem!
I need to play this game again... I really miss the good old times of adventure point-n-click games. Too bad we kind of lost the genre. My favourites were Monkey Island and the Indiana Jones series. There was always a good dose of humour in these games
These stats are frightening. In the past I recall seeing several different sets of figures for the amount of food the average human consumes in a lifetime. One estimate was about 70 tons and the other was 100 tons. (If anyone has better or more definite figures then let's hear about them.)

Now, if we consider the other resources every new human will also consume during his or her lifetime - houses, vehicles, white goods, electronic tech etc., etc. - then that extra demand on the planet's resources will be enormous.

What's worried me for a long time - ever since I read Anne and Paul Ehrlich's 1968 book The Population Bomb is that the population will outstrip our ability to find extra resources to support this population growth. Whilst the Ehrlichs overestimated the exponential growth rate I evertheless reckon the evidence supports the fact that they'd gotten the growth trend correct.

It seems to me that unless we quickly take drastic action to either limit population growth or vastly increase food resources or both - not to mention simultaneously keeping environment in a state of sustainability (climate change, etc.) - then the future is likely to be very rocky.

Yes, it's a pessimistic outlook but it looks as if the stats are pretty much against us unless there's a collective realization that something must be done urgently.

I can only hope I'm wrong.
Agreed - I've been using it since Google Reader ended and have used it practically daily since. While they've implemented some limitations and premium options, the interface has stayed basically the same with some unobtrusive elements.

I did have to cull some inactive blogs at one point, to stay within my tier limit, but was happy to do so. Incredible that it's been 9 years with barely any UI changes - I think this demonstrates how effective it is.
Anyone who is bothered by that is not someone you should care about

Heating and cooling, just like what causes cracks in sidewalks. Fast heating and cooling is worse than slow but there is also electromigration which will increasingly become an issue as our process nanometer size decreases. My friend who majored in CS said his teacher recommended always leaving computers on.
Who says that everyone has to eat meat? And who are you to command that millions or billions of people shouldn’t be born in the future?
Heh. When the complaint is that the high birthrates of the world are unsustainable, it's the people with the high birthrates that are doing that. Also keep in mind that Africa relies heavily on aid from these countries with the high CO2 emissions. Cutting CO2 really means starving them.
> More people means more brains, more intelligence, more energy to achieve things.

More people means less energy and resources per person though, and people with little resources wont be using their brains to solve problems. Likely more people would have the opportunity to become Einstein's or similar if the population stayed at 1 billion than at 10 billion simply because we would have so much more raw resources to invest in every person and their ideas. I don't see the benefit of adding another billion people who have to live a life in poverty. If we could give them a good life, sure add more people, but we can't even give the population of earth a good life today so why add more?

Coronavirus FAQ – Can I get Covid outdoors?
Next time you have to bug out because there's a hurricane coming, and it's after your commute, so you haven't had time to charge the car, are you going to be regretting your choice? It's 95F out, humid, and your car AC is going full bore as you creep along in traffic to get out of the area.

Yes, that is not an average situation, but there's a lot of peace of mind not having to think about it at all. By the time I get down to 250 miles in my ICE, I can fill up in 5 minutes, but still have a very comfortable margin for anything that may happen.

And, worst case, if I run out of gas (never happened in my lifetime)? I can get a gallon of fuel and drive away. How does that work with an EV?
Indeed, I keep hearing this countless times. People genuinely think that people died in their 30s two centuries ago.
second that! and NetNewsWire is a great companion to Feedbin when you want native experience on iPad/iPhone/Mac.
People don't generally understand premodern demography. We have fairly good demographic record of England, where detailed birth and death records were kept.

As of the 18th century, about 30 per cent of people died before reaching adulthood, but this percentage seems to be much higher in urban areas, which acted like population sinks. (Pathogens were really concentrated there.) Once you lived to be 20, you had more than even chance to live to 40, and a good (AFAIK over 35 per cent) chance to live to 60, but the drop-off after that was steep, 70 y.o.s were already uncommon and 80 y.o.s very rare.

Interestingly, cardinals and popes lived significantly longer, 70-somethings were a common sight in conclaves. Easier life, no military threat, good water, almost no risk of famines.

I am writing this from the top of my head, so precise values may differ from my handwaving. But I believe that the values are roughly correct.
I also heard 3080 seems to be a good middle grounds in the 3000 series.
Happy to talk about it (who doesn't like talking about what they're up to?), and indeed it is nice if they're taking a genuine technical interest.

If they want a change made that's basically a completely trivial detail that was already within my ability to have done when I was doing the work (e.g. just putting some padding that just felt about right), then sure, I guess. Not sure it's actually important, but whatever.

If it will go against other work (e.g. the padding comes from some central styling rules), entails substantial off-route work, or adds future maintenance debt or project risk, it should go via the product manager if there is one. A good CEO knows not to preempt the people who decide how the product works, what it needs to do and how the team(s) are going to get there. He should also know that product will consider a valid suggestion (and he should know if they're so slammed that they can't even think about it, in which case he can help in other ways than moaning about padding).

In this case it sounds like Zuckerberg is bikeshedding over something trivial (doesn't get much more trivial than padding on a specific button) just to swing his dick about. If he has something insightful to say about the business logic, that would actually show engagement and understanding.
Really smart distillation, thank you.

You are basically reliant on your wife for accessing any kind of digital service without a website, communicating with anyone, or any computing whatsoever when not at home.

Once they move to the US they have a high carbon footprint like anyone else there. Their culture won't change though, that takes many generations and a relatively homogeneous culture to assimilate into which is going away (largely due to attitudes like this.)
It's also quite annoying it never finished, sounded like they were on to something then it just stopped.
Playing around with this, seems I created a new channel/room/page called "raar" (https://coffeehouse.chat/raar), I wasn't expecting it to just let me create something that seems to be just there on the homepage as literally the second channel, without any signup or anything. It also seems to be a public thing. I opened the link on my phone and joined the call from there and it connected. However when I tried again it wouldn't connect
That’s good advice. I have an idea for a slow social network that’s based on your town/region/city (like bbses, and then local IRC channels were like) to help provide a place for online local community.

It’s probably a pipe dream, but like I mentioned I always talk myself out of even trying it for fear of how hard moderation would be.
It was mostly a troll article not worth reading - maybe there is a copy on wayback machine
I don’t think anyone is arguing that specific groups will survive no matter what.

The discussion is around whether the human race will survive and continue to grow.

As you may have noticed, population numbers have increased since the days of the Aztecs.
I sometimes get feeling we are rather distanced from average consumers when 3080 that is the high-end card in series is considered middle grounds...
Not watching a lot of politics here in germany where I live, but im still impressed with how some of our politicians seem to lack basic highschool education or common sense sometimes. :(
We will never know, this site is just a fake js counter, actual population data is very much hidden and obscured by statistics. For example, Russia claim they have 144 millions but in fact according to all data it is close to 120 millions. Same for china, where villages increase their reported population just to get subsidized.
Africa? Middle east? Help me god India? Are you sure anyone know how many people died from hunger and anticovid measures recently? It must be a 100 millions deaths at least last two years due to shut down of medicine around the world.

Well, at least it is justified and make sense for the author.
ooh - discovered something interesting - the homepage seems to only list channels that you've previously visited - interesting
> is that really so bad?

I think in many situations, yes. I grew up with shareware and so I know that prompts are necessary to drive income.

What the prompts in this article are so bad at is that they are perpetual. Is it really necessary to nag a user over and over for something they don’t want and declined? That is probably not going to work in the long run as people associate a bad experience with the product.

Figure out a better way to get income that doesn’t involve perpetually wasting a user’s time and frustrating them.

Well, not feasible at all, our customs officers are very well known to hold your mail for random time which can be easily 6 months or more.
The answers are over complicating things though. There are built in libraries that make it trivial to do this. A waitgroup is relatively low level and gives you the function you can call in your defer to signal completion. An errgroup builds on the waitgroup and gives you start & wait primitives, similar to the nursery discussed in the HN post.

Learning Flutter State Management
There's so many state management patterns out there and lots of opinions. If you want to learn and conquer Flutter state management then have a look at this book:

https://jykdesigns.gumroad.com/l/ogyzu

It looks at the ins and outs of what you get internal to Flutter but then delves into some more complex patterns and ways to structure your code so that it makes sense.

Starting with simple setState, it then shows you different ways of passing state across your app to embedding state in your path. Later topics use MVVM patterns with GetIt and MobX.
There's also an advanced topic on using streams to listen for updates from timers or even external events from Firestore.

A good start for someone with a little bit of Flutter but struggling with messy state management.
