Hungry is still reacting and moving to the right after the failed socialist governments who took over after the communist left. Hungry is going through a natural balancing act. Germany will shift back to right after years of going left.

Going left solves some issues and creates others. Going right same thing. A country needs to shift back and forth to evolve properly. Going too far left or right brings a correction next cycle.

A little bit off topic, but in case anyone wants to try out the new Steam Deck UI on their desktop you can do it without installing Steam OS, just follow these steps:

1) Quit Steam

2) Find the "package" directory inside of the main Steam install directory (typically C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam on Windows, ~/.steam/steam on Linux)

3) Inside there create a file called "beta" (no extension), with the following content: steampal_stable_9a24a2bf68596b860cb6710d9ea307a76c29a04d

4) Reopen Steam with the -gamepadui argument

Fair warning: it's a little bit janky when it's not running on Steam Deck hardware. At least it was when I tried it out, but it'll give you a pretty decent idea what it's like. Also to undo it just delete that file and relaunch Steam without the extra argument.
Your post made me create an account because I'm in a very similar situation. I was not "good" at math until later years of undergrad, where more abstract topics made me fall in love with it. I never could follow courses by going to class and had a much easier time just reading and taking notes. I'm now finishing a robotics PhD where I had the opportunity to do pretty well as a slow thinker by taking the time to understand and apply concepts from computational algebraic geometry.

Currently I'm doing an ML research internship at a SV company and this problem of "slowness" at meetings is really resonating with me. I have a hard time following quick verbal communication, I just need the time to think in order to contribute. I don't know it's like I just phase out or forget what we were talking about.

Have you found any useful techniques to do better in this type of environment? Is there any advice you would give your younger self?

So, as I understand it, the conservative party cannot have another no confidence vote for 11 more months since Boris won one last month.

So the only way to remove him of he won't quit is a House of Commons vote of no confidence.

But that, by convention, means a general election.

And a lot of the conservatives that would have to vote for it would almost certainly lose their seats since they only won them narrowly and the polls show they're down.

So unless MPs put aside their own interests and act in the national and democratic good, we'll likely be stuck with Boris?

The problems I pointed out with the JavaScript ecosystem as a whole is that it’s low hanging fruit. It’s not that there aren’t financial opportunities elsewhere, outside JavaScript. There definitely is. But the perception of financial incentives is the low hanging fruit, plus high reward.

In this case, it will boil down to how much Bun innovates versus just being a thin wrapped around existing solutions. And again, I don’t doubt this. Skeptical, in general, but not ruling Bun out.

> then don't install third party apps on your iPhone and only install Apple software? Like I literally cannot understand the thought process behind this. Someone needs to physically restrain you from installing an app that you don't want?

Because not everyone understands tech very well. There will be tons of social engineering campaigns to make you install the app you don’t want. And enough of them will succeed. And have succeed on Android.

We might also see a shift where big players will not release their apps for App store, because they want to collect more data from you. I think for example Apple’s cross app tracking notification is dependent on the app store policy.

It is really complicated problem. Giving a stock Android for some non-tech user is much more risky than giving stock iPhone at the moment.

When there are too many features, the user is the biggest risk. While HN audience might not be in part of that, a major population is.

You could add additional security to the process by first validating some cryptographic signature or verifying that the downloaded content's hash matches one that the author published.

I really encourage you to read more deeply on this, as I think you're painting climate advocates with the same broad brush you decry others for using. It is extremely common for climate people to insist that a just transition is the only transition worth making - which includes both gigantic structural changes around how we interact with the climate & also structural changes to society to change the material conditions of marginalized & adversely impacted groups. These recommendations are included in basically every climate change document produced by international efforts.

The inclusion of these considerations is also routinely mocked by US conservatives. Lots of people think that "climate is about climate" and the inclusion of social safety net reforms or serious retraining is a bad-faith inclusion from the left who are just using climate change as a cudgel.

If you're interested in a pretty up to date holistic (though to the left of many of the IPCC recs) take on climate recommendations, I would point you at the latest season of scene on radio[1]. It links together the chain of reasoning about why it is essential to address climate with other sources of marginalization and victimization.

The understanding of "what climate change activists want" that you're taking about in your post is frequently brought up by people who would like to obstruct action.

> it can take actual minutes to find out where to place a dependency in a simple tree with npm. God, why ?

npm is famous for a lot of things & reasons, but none of those are "because it's well engineered".

To this day, npm still runs the `preinstall` script after dependencies have actually been downloaded to your disk. It modifies a `yarn.lock` file if you have it on disk when running `npm install`. Lots of things like these, so that the install is slow, is hardly surprising.
I think some creators pursue products as ways to fund their passions. For example, was deno deploy always the endgame or is it just a way to fund working on deno? Aside from motivation, how it's implemented and how it affects the community matters.

There’s an idea in some business circles about businesses where the savings _is_ the prosperity, “scaled shared prosperity” is usually the term thrown around.

Insurance would be another example of this business model.

It's sounds incredibly unbelievable so I've been reluctant to share. I'm just looking for technical help.
> It doesn't work that way.

Not in actual reality, but it works just fine in virtual reality, which is what people are actually observing when they contemplate reality.

I continue to worry that improving on our (be it mainly Western people or all people, I don't know) inability to distinguish between fantasy and reality at least to some degree may be a pre-requisite to adequately solving climate change. I simply can't see how it isn't an extremely important variable.

If intelligent people can't be bothered to wonder what is true, how do we expect climate "denialists" to manage it?
I like Cory, but he's an optimist. He's missing a key fact about the first class passengers.

Globally, classism has become so pronounced that, to preserve the metaphor, if anyone tries to swerve the bus the first class passengers will just kill them and won't stop killing until the bus is light enough to jump the gorge. They don't see the need to now, because nobody is making any serious notions to grab the wheel. But the 1% can pay another 5% or so to leverage the asymmetric warfare tools available against the remaining 94%.

There are approximately 8 billion human beings on the planet right now. Cory is proposing a solution that saves 6 billion of them, maybe, if we play our cards right. But we already have weapons that can atomize cities. Removing a few key, highly populated cities from the planet would crater the number of people that our resources need to sustain, which is to say the number of people generating the sort of pollution that is threatening the biosphere, into the one to two billion range. And hey, bonus effect, overuse of those weapons results in a global cooling phenomenon. Win-win.

I wish those grabbing the wheel luck, because they're going to have to grab it faster than the first class passengers can reach for their knives.

Context-less translation can be done quite successfully these days with online services. You could simply make a few hundred calls to something like Google Translate and get good quality translations in multiple languages.

This is built-in some of the top software translating platforms to "seed" the initial translation. A bulk kickstart that can optionally later be refined by human translators.
I'm also pretty cynical of most JS rebuild/reinvention projects. I'm very tentatively excited by this one _because_ it looks like all it does is incrementally improve. Having something that is a drop-in API compat replacement for yarn 1/npm and node makes it potentially really easy to get the benefits of incremental perf improvements _without_ needing to reinvent the wheel like yarn 2 or deno.
> Replace npm run with bun run and save 160ms on every run

Maybe you can’t falsify this, but it’s a question of risk vs reward.

It’s currently at 0.1 release. Chances are it has a much higher chance of breaking. And when that happens, it would likely take occupy way more time to debug than the hundreds of ms saved.

Also by being new, it means it has not had a chance to cover all the cases yet. That’s the devil. It’s fast now, but it’s an apples to orange comparison until Bun is at a stable release.

twinBASIC backer here. It's been many years since I wrote any VB6, or even VBA, but I got my start in software engineering that through classic VB and still hold deep affection for it. I'm happy to support it even if I never end up using it.

Please bear in mind that twinBASIC is still pre-release / v0.x, and has not been widely publicized yet. The IDE, and in particular the forms designer, is very recent. Originally an extension to VS Code was envisioned (it's currently paused), but VSC was not extensible enough.

It's under active and rapid development right now, please judge accordingly.

Forgive my ignorance, but how do we know that Apple doesn't track more data than they provide to developers?
Not just routing. When a plane or truck arrives and is unloaded, thousands of packages have to be scanned, which triggers a cascade of messages to different systems. In addition to the routing and whatnot, customs declarations might have to be sent, track and trace gets updates (both from arrival scan and customs), there's billing etc. All this flurry of activity happens within an hour or so after the plane lands, and then it quiets down until the next plane or truck.

I could easily see FedEx can save money by dynamically scaling capacity to track the arrival of their planes or trucks.

It is scary, but it already seems more stable and backward-compatible than Deno. With some testing and further stabilization, I have a feeling bun might be a much more feasible and beneficial move.
This analogy is too hopeful for a couple reasons. First, the swerve is made to seem like a decisive action that is taken once and then is never repeated. In practice, if people don't like that we've slowed the bus, they can speed it right back up again. Second, the one's blocking the swerve are supposed to "first class passengers", which seemingly stand in for the rich and powerful. In practice, its many of the least well off who are against decisive action to stop climate change, which they perceive as being especially harmful to themselves. If all it took was one person rushing to the front of the bus and yanking on the steering wheel, then it likely would have happened by now.
Not necessarily. Those poor people, today, are malnourished and lack access to the many benefits that higher energy use brings. And some of the same things that the top billion of the population has been enjoying for decades.

Telling them that they cannot get this (energy to bring water to the fields instead of hand-carrying it, tractors to work the fields) and, by the way, it is for their own benefit may not be very convincing. I think those poor people just got on the bus and think they are OK with where this bus is heading. And would club someone who tries to grab the wheel and put the bus in a ditch. My 2c.
So then how about you get onboard with fighting for what I said, not the other position you're arguing against.

Invest in alternatives, capture solutions, etc so that they get better faster. It's the same thing we've done in wartime, or for a moon mission.
