From the article:

> You don’t need to use any special desktop software; you mount the Walkman as a USB storage device and transfer files. Wait… that’s it? Yes!

>The player indexes any music you add, but keeps the files in place. This lets me use rsync to regularly diff and copy new ripped CDs or downloaded tracks across, even on FreeBSD. It also decouples syncing from music organising, so no more finagling iTunes in Wine, or using the garbage new macOS Music.app. As a (diagnosed) OCD suffer, this literally makes me happier than it should.

These are features I had in my MP3 player about the time the first iPod came out (looked like a thumbdrive with a couple of buttons and a 2-line LCD screen on its side). Features I highly prefer, along with the fact that no internet connection is required at any time. I'm not looking for a device to be the front end for Spotify, Apple, or any other service - just an MP3 player that lets me play podcasts, music, lectures, etc. - e.g., any audio file that I want to, ideally in most of the common audio formats (including ogg).

We are converging :)

I guess it is just a matter of terms, I would have never called what you just described as a "software consultancy" since you mentioned building, developing, code reviewing and such terms a lot of times.

By talking to you I understand that the meaning I give to the word "consultancy" is not as universal as I have thought. For me consultants never dive into anything "practical", they limit themselves to aspects of the software that stay all around the actual development.

From my point of view you I would call you an experienced freelance developer, or a development agency (congrats on growing BTW, going from 0 to 1 employee is a big step). Mind that developing is not simply coding, so IMHO you are still a developer even if you "stay involved enough in the development of the rest that I can ensure what the team delivers is what the organization actually needs".

You happen to advice your customers about stuff not strictly related to the actual development process, and that would be a consultancy, but it doesn't sound from all your comments that this is your main focus so from my strictly personal point of view I wouldn't call you a consultant.

Developer: code, output, stuff that works and implements some business logic.

Consultant: advices, indications, expectations... and then it is up to someone else to make it work. (and they don't care if ever, how, when, why, who)

Anyway don't take it personally, and by the way I didn't mean to be disrespectful towards you. Maybe my first comment was a little harsh, so I'm sorry if you felt it as an attack on your person or your professionalism :D
>need a web browser

you'd be surprised how many people here (and many FOSS zealots in general) live in their own little bubble of command-line-only existence. who eschew modern things like javascript and social media and only want to take part in that which is easily done from a text terminal.
> Part of the saturation levels of tooling has to do with the job market.

.. but it works like this:

You have this thing that you can use for all kinds of purposes, called ECMA Script, or JS. As marketing people say, it "adds value to the product"

Problem with it (the JS) is that it is really easy to get started with it.

So, the people that have spent years developing these fancy (value add) "solutions" rightfully fear for their job security, as:

- when the time comes that they should demand a raise, the manager might rightfully reason that the added cost isn't worth it as they could just train a college grad for the job much cheaper.

So, what do they (experienced devs in big corps) do? They build "Barriers To Entry" so called: Teh Frrrrrameworkz! ta-daa

Invent convoluted layers upon layers on top of this very simple yet efficient thing, JS -- layers that grow so complicated that they require significantly more study and practice to master than the very simple tool (JS) that anyone can learn to solve very basic tasks with in an hour.

That way they make "development" a bureaucratic standardized hell of a process in stead of just "getting things done", and the effect is that they increase their own job security.

...and you can still accomplish the same things in vanilla JS, only these "developers" (now as senior as to being the ones doing the employment interviews) spend great effort trying to convince every new/potential colleague that you can't.

End result: all teh Interwebs filled with "spinners" and lazyload and much other user-hostile stuff built to satisfy automated testing, search engines and whatnot - not users. Very little that "just works" ... and a totally recalibrated job market, introducing roles/functions such as DevOps and much other nonsese like it.

This is so strange, and the exact opposite of America. In America margins on drink are 100-200%+ while margins on food are much less when you take into account untipped workers fixing it. It must be the tipping difference, since bartenders are basically free labor in America.
Yes we have no problems for 2 years. Then we had problems.
They also passive-agressively set the default to a paid shipping option for non-Prime, so every order you have to manually pick the free shipping option. It's very obnoxious, especially combined with the multiple "sign up for Prime" pitch attempts.
well, i almost guessed that you meant something like that. and you are right. it's not quite as extreme yet, but it does tend into that direction, so you have to be careful which sets you buy.

fortunately, it's not just lego anymore. there are a lot of alternative brands that offer a wide variety of sets which offer a lot more flexibility.

From the Method section, just a few paras in (I just clicked on the link provided, I do not subscribe to any journals): We assessed proportions of adults with optimal cardiometabolic health, based on adiposity, blood glucose, blood lipids, blood pressure, and clinical CVD; and optimal, intermediate, and poor levels of each component among 55,081 U.S. adults in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

This is an extension and continuation of the basic principle that only conservatives/Republicans can legitimately rule. The mainstream press, and even Democrats to some extent, buy into this. As an independent, I'm appalled.
>Some of the most useful inventions that we use today every day have been made by very stubborn people who were told thousands of times that their idea was stupid.

That's true; Zuckerberg's parents told him that Facebook idea is stupid and that he should get his Harvard degree. Larry and Sergey couldn't sell Google to Excite for $350k because Excite's managers thought Google was unnecessary.
They don't require it. When I used it, everything was just written in assembly (you get a few more instructions but you're still basically doing bitbanging with cycle counting, so using C is a bit awkward anyway). The PIOs are a pretty neat trimmed down version of the idea though, clearly someone put a fair amount of effort into making them as flexible as they are for how minimalist they are.

"A lot" is a stretch. There is some evidence in mice and a few hypothesis but I certaintly wouldn't say "a lot." The exception to this I would say is soybean oil. There is a decent amount of research pointing in direction that soybean oil isn't great.
Then I'd recommend getting a test framework installed, probably PHPUnit, and get CI/CD - Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment- set up to run the tests on checkin, Gated checkins if possible (prevents merging in of code that results in test failure), get branches in your repo for different environments - Dev, Test, Production, etc. and have the CI/CD deploy those branches to different environments (if possible/have the budget, if nothing else it'll let you or other devs run smoke-tests) - once all that is done you can guarantee a degree of code quality, cut down on broken builds, get a tighter feedback loop for changes, can refactor till your hearts content, etc.
Who the rural folks in Georgia keep voting for? In record numbers?

You're kind of making my point.

However, yes, these rural folks ARE the ones standing in front of abortion clinics and assaulting people and shooting doctors. They ARE the ones who drove up to Washinton, DC, to take part in an insurrection. etc. All at the behest of a really shitty conman from New York and his criminal cohort.

I can go on if you would like?

These rural people ARE shoving the pointy end of the stick into people. Directly and individually as well as with their votes.
I spent a while trying to approach this post with an open mind. In the end I was disappointed.

rel/to title: yes. (just say scroll position. fine.) But also I think this is pretty well understood! (No?)

- In declarative UI / FRP / whatever, you model your basic UI state through a pure mapping from your business logic 'model'.

- But (as in procedural programming) the UI has its own state — that's not necessarily part of your initial business/domain/model.

If you want to model it, you'll have to understand it, read it, and add it to you model. That can be annoying—especially if the APIs for getting or setting the state are bad.

This doesn't really sound like a fundamental flaw conceptually to me. It's just an API with defaults you don't have to deal with unless you need to.

- don't care what your color is? fine. system default for you.

- don't care what tab a link opens in? fine. user default.

- don't care how scroll position is managed? fine. system default.

- want to handle any of them? cool. you can.

It sounds like progressive disclosure of API complexity to me. Great.
Why? Materials get imported from outside the EU all the time and exports can also go across EU borders. It's not like Americans pay their BMWs with euros.

No country has a trade surplus/deficit of exactly 0, or even near 0. There's always at least half a billion going either way. If you know of any treaties that put limits on these numbers, I'd like to know what they are because I'm very curious about the intentions behind the people who would draft something like that.

Going by https://trade.ec.europa.eu/doclib/docs/2013/december/tradoc_... (link says 2013, but document says Q1 2022), Germany had an intra-EU trade surplus of about 0.2 billion euros. Germany is the closest to a perfect balance within the eurozone in the entire EU except for Bulgaria. Their surplus is almost entirely extra-EU, which isn't a problem for EU members.

I don't care about such crossings, it's trivially easy to check for a train. I live in a rural area with many of these crossings and (to my knowledge) there haven't been any problems.

Personally I think Sarno is BS. He's telling people what they want to hear and covering up for the failures of of our medical system.

He basically says that your pain is coming from stress from psychological issues and what you need to do is therapy and Journaling.

I believed this nonsense in regards to my own back pain for a long time. Ironically my pain of 5 years started to subside as I gave up these beliefs although I don't think that was causal.

I had a physical injury to my neck muscles. It turned out what I needed was years of rest and pt to that muscle system. No amount of Journaling is going to fix real injuries
> I’m sorry you live in one of the worst countries in the world to be disabled in.

At least in the USA, the ADA ensures that many places are built to be wheelchair-accessible; bathrooms in public places have accommodations, grocery stores have ramps, stairs always have an alternative, etc

I'm pretty sure in most countries in the world, mobility would be far lower for the disabled.
The idea of defining the South in this way is appealing, not least because it will annoy people who like the "Sean of the South" website. If we do this, however, we won't be able to stop at Delaware. [0] Maybe thread parent could have said, "The author blogs pretty much exclusively on the cultural tapestry of USA", and I wouldn't have complained.

Communication is seldom improved by more vagueness, however. Sean Dietrich has apparently honed an oeuvre that makes a certain sort of American feel better about things, which is explicitly related to a particular understanding of the South. He doesn't hesitate to invoke Maine or Colorado or wherever while layering on more saccharine banalities, but his audience doesn't love precision the way HN does. (An example of the fuzziness of his POV: the fact that the train illustration depicts tall pine trees amid steep slopes rather than the gently rolling farmland with deciduous forest and scattered cedars around Mendon.) Presumably this benefits his project of assuring us that everything is just fine and we shouldn't think too hard about possible improvements. I oppose that project, so I think we should continue excluding him from various locales until he is completely fenced into a tiny Alabamian postage stamp. So, I don't agree that Mendon is more Southern than it is Midwestern or even what Colin Woodard would call "Midlands".

Thanks - I will have a look.

Maybe we're having different definitions of hard-coded.

My definition of hard coded: something that's innate in us - something we're born with, e.g. encoded in DNA.

I don't think men looking for women to cook for them etc is hard-coded - because there are so many counter examples. Nature vs nurture.

Why do you think I was attacking your view? I was simply trying to understand why you think it's hard-coded.

And if you think that NG article is just speculation, then don't you think what you're claiming is also speculation?

I'm happily admitting that my comment is speculation based on what I'm observing.

But since I don't have a clear understanding of how this work, I'm asking these questions to get a fuller picture.

But you said you don't really know - so fair enough.

I do want to broaden my perspective and ideally with scientific research / reading articles by experts who have studied this subject for decades and I thought maybe you had those at hand to support the view that men are hard-coded (born with) to "looking for a wife— take care of my house and children, be attractive and cook"

That's all.

An easy, not much equipment needed, activity is drawing. What I like about it is that it incentivizes visualizing things (not everyone can, and that is okay, drawing what you are looking at can be fun too!) and since I generally was not great at drawing nobody felt they were too "bad" at it to participate.

A program the girls took advantage of was Reikes Nature studies. One of the things they do is catalog as many things they can see at a nearby wooded park. When I read Feynman's discussion of how the ants became a source of fascination for him I realized that there are zillions of questions right in front in our eyes if we think about it. Or perhaps more accurately wonder why things are the way they are.

David Macaulay has a great book called "The Way Things Work." (and it has funny illustrations of mammoths figuring things out) Reading it together and talking about how things work led to interesting questions which led to interesting projects to see if we could answer those questions.

And generally "active reading" where you read together and talk about the characters in the story, what they might be feeling, why they might be acting the way they are, and how things might be different if something happened in a different way than it does in the book.

Perhaps the best idea to be genuinely interested in what they are interested in, rather than trying to get them interested in something you are interested in. That may seem obvious but it wasn't to me at first.

> The bazaar's fragmented mess of "desktop environments" is certainly not a strength compared to what the Cathedrals have produced.

I will have to disagree. I like having options. Before Wayland having options meant that your app starting GUI and your file manager was different. If Wayland had meant there were now two options one deprecated and the other coming this wouldn't have really been a huge problem.

It's a problem now because insisting on standardizing on so little means we now have fragmentation the likes of which we never had with X and will likely have for many years to come.

Even more so because it isn't yet ready about 6 years after its fanboys started insisting it was and shitting on other options and dismissing actual problems as the mutterings of crackpots and luddites.

What does "competative" even mean in this context? Linux has had a nicer GUI since 2003 and if you don't hop on the pointless change parade a fairly consistent one. I literally switched to linux for a better interface 19 years ago and its still better.

Supreme court determined a long time ago that a state cannot implement a residency requirement (e.g. 1 year minimum residency) before accessing that states benefits.

> If a state wanted to implement something like Medicare for All, I think they could just do that.

Yes. But for the problem explained. Also you can throw in issues such as states can't issue their own currencies or treasuries to finance things.

Really the USA is not set up for this kind of "confederation". We are a federation of states that have very limited powers and very stupidly drawn borders. If we want what it sounds like you're after then we need more a European Union style set up. Not separate states. But entirely separate countries. Basically we should decide if we're a country called the USA and are all American's first, or if we're all Kentuckians, Texans, Washingtonians, first and American's second.

Another big reason i can think of is market size. Europe is not (yet) a market. You can't "launch a product in europe", you have to pick one european country, then move to next, and at each step you'll have to adapt to the country's specificities.
