Since the user's email address was hidden, it isn't like their reputation will be harmed or anything. They are just being used as an anonymous example. If they have some embarrassment -- good, being used as an anonymous example is the least damaging way for somebody to learn to be more thoughtful about the types of messages they send out.

Notepad++ is a popular project, I bet he already gets plenty of feedback. Most people probably won't hear about this. Of those who do... some will decide to not send anything. Some will be more careful to produce a useful message and avoid this reaction. Reduce signal slightly while slightly improving SNR? It seems like a wash.

> and probably the best benefits package anywhere

That would be public safety, not public education, usually. By a fairly enormous margin. Teachers probably have better benefits than the average private sector worker, but not outstanding among either public sector workers generally or knowledge workers generally (though, relative to salary, probably outstanding for the latter category.)
If you have an active/passive HA setup and don't test it periodically (by taking the active server offline and switching them afterwards), my guess is that double disk failures will be more common than single disk failures for you.

Still, I see no reason for prioritizing that failure mode on a site like HN.

On the one hand, I agree with you. People should be more responsible.

But if your strategy is "people should have less sex for a while" then your strategy will fail -- just as our "everyone stay home for two weeks" didn't work for Covid. Even if most people will follow the guidelines, enough people won't and your strategy will fail.

So, yes, it is a government failure that we didn't have vaccines on hand for virus we stopped vaccinating for a long time ago. These are things we can control. We give the CDC a lot of money to help prevent these things.

By the way -- you can't get a test if you're not a man that has sex with men -- and that's very likely skewing the results. On Twitter many straight people report having blisters and symptoms but are denied tests because they don't fit the profile.
I do not think the lack of trust in police is unfair. Police brutality is an issue in the US that disproportionately impacts minorities. However, I also do not think the response to police brutality has been at all constructive. What have we achieved in terms of lasting police reform?

My point is simply that police has been a respected pillar of society. Police falling out of favor has very real consequences. When people do not trust police they turn to others for protection and justice.
I think people in the USA understand bloated telecoms with monopoly power that means they don't need to compete.

In my neighborhood, I have one effective ISP, that is the cable company (who offers phone+internet+cable), the other is an old-school phone company who offers DSL (with bonded DSL, up to 12mbit). I thought that I could get a slow DSL connection to back up my cable, but no, there's some neighborhood line concentrator that means I can't get DSL at any speed.

So I really have only one ISP to "choose" from. (well, in theory I could get Starlink, but my area is still waitlisted, as is Verizon 5G home internet)
>the mm-wave, roughly 25-50GHz, a frequency band that overlaps that used by the Starlink phased arrays.

And those require line of sight or be very close to them to achieve high speeds. That's why there is little incentive to provide them.
Show HN: Wiby is now free software
One of the very funny things I've found is that proprietary freeware devs are often much more receptive to feedback than open source authors.

The crime rate is not linked to gun crime rate in that country as the guns are completely illegal. Even 10 gun deaths per year is virtually impossible if guns are totally banned - where are these guns coming from?

At the same time there is violent crime, just not with guns.
Discussing such petty issues with strangers online must be very amusing. Torus wants to increase his local native population, Chaos regards all humans as capable to improve economical challenges. Until we unite as species I am afraid we are gonna just end up destroying each other and going back and forward discussing reasons why our fellow humans can't decide to move to another piece of land for x/y reasons in this small planet of ours...

Why can't we just give people the freedom to do whatever they want, society will sort itself out and everything may balance out in the natural order of things. One point is that unites both, right and left, is to make life a living hell to those who dont give importance to these petty issues and just wanna work together with others to make this globe a better living place for all...
>Lower employment for the very young and very old is generally a good thing in places with a robust welfare state

No, this is never a good thing. No welfare state replaces the lost income - it may reduce the pain but does not remove it. Otherwise those people would not be unemployed - they'd be retired.

And especially for the young - each year lost is a year behind for wages their entire life as they lag in raises, promotions, skills, and opportunities.

I'm not sure why you think this is a good thing. I've never heard anyone ever claim it, and I've read and worked with econ stuff a long, long time.

Can you cite a peer-reviewed paper about the claim you made? Did you read it in econ literature?

> overshadowed by the positives of unions, such as the lower rates of poverty, lower mortality and accident rates, and higher job satisfaction and overall wages as a percentage of productivity across many industries

These only accrue to those in the union at the detriment of others not in the union and consumers at large. Unions reduce employment, have slower employment growth, and raise costs, which is borne by society. A union is a monopoly on labor, which has all the downsides of monopolies on goods or production.

Some examples:

[1] " We find that unions adversely affect unemployment rates and the growth rates of gross state product (GSP), productivity, and population, while increasing the rate of wage inflation. The impact on the employment growth rate is negative but not significant."

[2]: "We find evidence that links union influence to slower job growth during an economic recovery, a finding consistent with previous studies reporting that unions negatively affect average employment and employment growth."

[3]: Lists data for many countries and many time periods about how union shops have lower employment growth.

I could go on and on. So while there are benefits to union members, it comes at a cost to those not in the union, to economic growth overall, to employment rates and employment rate growth, and wage inflation (thereby eating up the gains of union wages to begin with). The literature is pretty clear on these effects.

Re-analysis of a fossil finds it’s from the earliest vertebrate branch
The bad guy with a gun has already shot someone. The good guy can put an end to the violence in some cases, but almost never before the bad guy has harmed someone. In societies where guns aren't ubiquitous it's the bad guy with a knife or a brick versus the good guy with a lawn chair. It's still the case that the bad guy can cause some damage before he's stopped, but it isn't as much damage, and it's less likely, because you can run away from a knife and dodge a brick.

Very bizarre to me the way that avoiding covid was moralized and yet the same public health professionals seem more than a little skittish to do so around this. Particularly when the behavior is easier to avoid than breathing the same air as other people.

I'd also like to add that having group sex in public places is not the only way to have sex. Your comment seems to conflate this with all sexual activity.
Lol. There was actually a lot of work so it really did work out well for me:P

Yep! That's why our government sets rules for their use.
I think Angular has a pit of failure for performance problems. It's use of RxJS is highly compromised (Angular "best practices" are often RxJS worst practices) and that infects all of Angular development and fills the entire ecosystem with memory leaks and other performance problems. (I've blogged about some specifics before and I've built/published an open source library to try to compensate as best I can as I currently work in codebases now sunk cost fallacy stuck to Angular.)

I don't think any of React/Vue/Svelte are nearly as compromised and have nearly as big of a pit of failure. I find React a good option with an active ecosystem. React especially isn't ashamed of and doesn't hide its learning curve like Angular tries to, and that learning curve is especially designed to more often than not lead towards pits of success.

> anything that puts more money in Apple’s coffers and not developers’ means it’s automatically a stupid idea

The reason why it is a stupid idea, is that the recommendation only gives Apple more money, and does nothing else.

> or anything remotely related would ever sustain their operations on 0% revenue

Apple sells iPhones. It can make its money off of that.

Apple is getting more than enough money, from its phone business, such that it will continue doing what it is doing now, even if it loses some revenue from alternative app stores.

So no, I am not convinced by your argument of us having to be worried about a multi-trillion dollar company losing a bit of money.

> is completely up to the creators of those systems (in the App Store’s case, Apple)

It is actually not completely up to Apple anymore. Because now there is a law, and they can either follow the law or leave the EU.

> And yes, they ought to pay up particularly to the hardware platform provider! Don’t think it’s fair? Well, go complain to Nokia or Blackberry

Actually no. Instead of your recommendation, we can instead make laws to force things to change, and this is what just happened. Apple is the one that lost here. You, or them, are the ones who are crying about the current situation.

Apple can either follow the law, or leave the EU market if it doesn't like the law.

You are the one crying here. Everyone else is basking in our victory. You are the one who is going to have to go cry to someone else, to change things.

Apple lost. You lost. The laws are being passed. And none of your arguments are convincing to anybody who is in support of these laws.

A convincing argument would instead be one that results in Apple getting zero money, and also protects users in some way. But you do not seem interested in a better outcome here.

And no, I or these law makers don't have to come up with another solution, because people like me who support this law already won.

Instead, it is Apple, and people like you, the one's who definitively, and completely lost, that are going to have to come up with a solution that convinces everyone else, that actually results in a 0% cut going to Apple, because you are the loser in this political situation.

The winners do not have to change anything, because we are getting our laws passed, and Apple is going to be forced to follow the law or shutdown in the EU, or other countries soon.

To me it seems like the people who created the fork may literally not have any known means of judging engineering merit aside from how detailed commit messages are.

If it's a large group then detailed commit messages are critical. If it's likely that between 0-1 people are actually going to read the message in the next month and there are a long list of other plans you have to implement with between 0 and 1 people actually helping you, then the value of more detail in commit messages moves toward the limit of 0.

Having lived in Canada and the US, with telecom plans with providers in both countries, I think Canada’s telecoms take it to a new level. To give you a sense of how distorted the market is, it was cheaper for me to keep my US Verizon wireless plan than to use Rogers, Fido, etc. when I lived in Canada!
Pick any list related to crime world wide, and Japan is in top 10 or far better. It is one of the safest in the world no matter how you slice it. Why is that such a controversial statement? It’s like you’re moving the goal post, and Japan still gets the goal.
So there is no difference between "spam" and emailing someone information they've requested?

> Have you tried to sleep in a cold room but with warm covers (good isolation).

Most of my childhood and teenage life (before I moved out of my parents home), since almost nobody heats bedrooms where I live.

With lower temperatures, I have to wear very warm shirts/sweater as I inevitably uncover my shoulders and pull my arm out of cover. Getting into cold bed is uncomfortable. Getting out when the room is cold is even worse. Also, cold bedrooms are terrible for sex (for me at least).

This is all solved by heating the room nicely. Mind you, I still use relatively warm cover (light clothing, though) when bedroom temperature is 23°-24° (during the winter). Right now it's 26° and light cover is fine.

> HIV is still a thing too and people continue to engage in this high risk behavior.

UK technical briefing (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/monkeypox-outbrea...):

Similar stats in Europe - 40% HIV positive where known. (https://monkeypoxreport.ecdc.europa.eu/)

You don’t have to be maximally informed.

It seems weird to me. Why do the people approach the creator in such an odd manner? Even if you paid, it does not help anyone by starting the conversation in such a negative way.
