That's just outright wrong.

On the last dozens of flights (it may be well in the 100s) within the Schengen area I hardly ever had to show id. And if so it was due to airline policy and checked at the gate.

You badge in automatically by scanning your boarding pass into the secure transit area and then once again fully automatically at the gate.

If you're admitted to the flight by ground staff on airports without automated gates they hardly ever check your id.
Not sure what the original commenter was looking for but I can give my thoughts:

- stackoverflow's UI actually serves well to provide a sort of "ambient" information that rapidly indicates not just the best answers, but the best most-recent answers. Oftentimes, and especially in rapidly-evolving dev languages/frameworks, what was the best answer a few months ago may no longer be the best answer and the ability to rapidly scan the comments that would indicate this is valuable.
- in addition those stackoverflow comments and links within them can point to additional info that can save the dev time (potentially pointing to the dev misidentifying the problem: "don't do this, this is the real issue <link>).

I think with the traditional google->stackoverflow or google->[some documentation site, forum, etc] user flow you actually get layers of ambient cues as to relevance, recency and quality that we've grown accustom to. Even if your product ultimately serves better answers I'd worry that lacking these cues would make a user like me feel as though I'm blindly trusting an answer that seems to have come from the ether (sort of like github copilot).

As low-hanging fruit maybe adding level-meters beside each result that indicates these dimensions could help (like npmjs.com does with npm pkg results in their ui).

I love the product idea and it looks like a strong start! Good luck!
100% this.

I struggle with this too. But I also know I'm low enough on the corporate ladder (senior dev! not even junior!) to know it pretty much is all irrelevant to my day-to-day work, so I show up, tune out, bill the time (and eat the free food if offered).

> I've asked merely to clarify whether your issue is with Python's asyncio (e.g. Python got it wrong) or with the tradeoffs inherent in async io APIs in general (regardless of Python)

Both, but the latter part is contextual.

> I, for one, am fine with async APIs in JS

Correct me if you think I'm wrong, but JS in its native environment (the browser) never had access to the OS thread and process scheduler, so the concept of what could be done was limited from the start. If all you're allowed to have is a hammer, it's possible to make a fine hammer.

But

1. Python has never had that constraint

2. Python's asyncio in particular is a shitty hammer that only works on special asyncio-branded nails

and 3. Python already had a better futures interface for what asyncio provides and more before asyncio was added.

The combination of all three of those is just kinda galling in a way that it isn't for JS because the contextual landscape is different.

I'm not really sure what your argument is. It sounds like you're complaining that he used a library to handle the actual javascript parsing/evaluation. There are still platform-specific things that need to be implemented and plugged in to the JS environment to be able to do anything useful (for instance, starting up a server and binding to a port isn't something that the OOTB JavaScriptCore sandbox is going to let you do - you have to implement that separately and plug it in yourself). The transpiler and npm client are completely separate things.

If you read "runtime" as "extensions that allow you to do actually useful stuff" instead of "parser/evaluator", I don't see an issue.

>Much of the hunger literature talks about how it is important to assure that people are well fed so that they can be more productive. That is nonsense. No one works harder than hungry people. Yes, people who are well nourished have greater capacity for productive physical activity, but well-nourished people are far less willing to do that work.

This feels like a weird take, especially for a UN article. I mean there may be some truth to that, but leave that to the philosophers. What does the UN want me to do with the information that hungry people work harder? How does this help them attain their goals?

The part about "hunger makes people willing to work, which is important for people who need cheap labor" also seems similarly strange. It's good for the people in need of labor sure, but they just gloss over the laborers. Surely, their condition matters too

I've used regular $10-$25 electric tooth brush for a decade and assumed they're good enough.

I've gotten Phillips Sonicare for holiday, and understanding that this is anecdotal evidence, I am shocked at its increased ability to dislodge food from the crevices. I could swear that sometimes the vibration it puts on the tooth, dislodges food from places it's not yet directly touching, just through the vibration through the tooth, which never happened with cheaper electric brushes. Overall, my teeth feel far cleaner afterwards, kinda like after the dental hygienist is done. So it gets my support, expensive as it may be.
Perhaps, but this is a pretty pedantic observation. I wasn't expecting to get even more for free from LetsEncrypt, considering their enormously useful core service is already provided free of charge!

It really depends on who is in the room. In my experience founders and people who are busy (C level folks, IC's) tend to prefer my style of commutation, it's middle managers who end up not liking me. Career wise that tradeoff appears to have been a pretty good one to make, but caveat emptor of course.

Sometimes you can be surprised with this question and they will explain a actual strategy with multiple moving parts and everyone is better off by having it explained. Often you can catch a technical gap or two during this explanation and improve on the approach.

> "...(more accurate than a pistol)..."

The incident was in a restaurant, not a shooting range. At almost point blank range, accuracy is not that relevant.

> "...capable of larger magazines unavailable to small pistols."

It only takes a second or two to swap magazines with practice so it's unclear that being restricted to the pistol he also carried and having to swap magazines would have significantly changed the outcome. Also note that the shotgun carries only 4-6 rounds, depending on the model, and is more cumbersome to reload yet he killed numerous people with that as well, implying several reloads.

Aside from that, magazine capacity is not what the general public thinks about when the words "higher power weapon" is used, so bringing that factor up doesn't bolster the original post anyway.
Most people today would freak out given only CUA cut/copy/paste though. It's also too old.

Too bad that Google does not offer this same “Lockdown Mode” as Apple does.

Instead, they (Google Play Store) removed our ability to see what “app privileges” that an app would required BEFORE we do the installation step from the Google Play Store. What we got instead was an obfuscated “Data Security” section that is pretty much always “blank”.

My flashlight app should not require GAZILLION app privilegeS nor hide that fact before I can determine whether I can safely install it, much like Apple App Store can do by doing the CRUCIAL pre-reveal of any needed app privilege(s) … for our leisure perusual and applying any applicable but personalize privacy requirement BEFORE we do the app install.
How do investors feel about this?

Being a dev myself and knowing how the sausage is made and how FOSS is the casing that holds it all together, this investment makes perfect sense. But I can also see how investment types would complain, it doesn't exactly look like an investment in the books.

(But other than that I agree with your point.)

Disagree strongly with this. It signals to me that the developer cares more about building a good thing than standing up FOSS tools to appease the zealots. Seems very pragmatic.

I don't think those people with legacy systems running on X11 will pick Linux at all. They will probably use XQuartz, or one of the many X servers that runs on Windows. BSD may even work for them. The only reason to use Linux is for dependency on some kernel features, X11 can be used on any other OS kernel.

Yes, and now, imagine someone from business joining our sprint starter meeting and having it explained in clear and concise way, as well as discussions over potential caveat/blocking points because we have two hours to give details and not fifteen minutes.

Imagine being marketing (so not business, not tech) and being invited at a corporate meeting, then at a PI planning from a big (50-100) dev team. I guarantee you will understand way, way more from the PI even if you are just being around and not actively asking questions (and actively engaging with adjascent team will make you understand more).
I remember sites used to incorporate a lot of on-theme graphics in fun (also inaccessible) ways. It sounds backwards because of limited connection speeds, but it was pretty common to have titles and navigation buttons and borders and bullet points all presented as GIFs. Back then corporate websites tried hard to look small and personal ( https://web.archive.org/web/19961022174605/http://www.cocaco... under the about page: "management wanted a place in the domain, so we decided to let them have this part" ), while today it seems everyone wants their website to look clean and professional with big splashy images ( https://www.coca-cola.com/ ). That style of unified content and presentation is gone, it's visually out of date, more effort to implement, and hard to do it the right way and have it work well for everyone. But man it looked cool, the web could use a few more cool looking sites.
Ask HN: What did you do with your x86 MacBook?
Based on conversations here, lots of you are upgrading to M1/2 MacBooks, even if you had a relatively-recent x86 MacBook. I've been tempted to do the same.

But Apple's trade-in prices for them are abysmal, and I assume they aren't selling well online either (are they?). But they're still solid laptops, all things considered, just significantly less awesome than what's now available.

So: for those who've upgraded, what did you do with your "old" one?
Speaking of spear phishing:

When I was at lockheed we had an incident whereby a bunch of folks had attended some defense conference, and after the fact received emails from folks they had 'met' at the conference, something along the lines of

"Hey Bob, we met at the [defense] conference this last week and I wanted to be sure you had my contact info: malware-contact.vcf"

or some other payload.

This installed a very slow sprawling worm which would slowly trickle data out of lockheed to China.

It was not discovered for quite a while due to how slowly it operated, but someone had complained about machine performance and IT looked at the machine and discovered the worm... after removing it - this somehow sent a signal to China that they had been found and all the worms started to firehose as much as they could until egress was closed. At the time, all of Lockheeds 150,000 employees had just three egress points to the internet. They had to shut them all down to kill that worm.
When I first got into crypto, a few things were pretty much drilled into my head:

Hey so I built a search engine doing largely the same thing (and also interviewed with YC during the W20 time) and ultimately we pivoted away due to lack of interest from the developer teams we were pitching, often the startups we were pitching didn't have enough accumulated internal knowledge for the paid plan to be useful. For the ones who did (at the like 200+ person 5+ yrs in business mark) we still weren't seeing the problem being painful enough where companies wanted to pay to solve it.

The trolley problem is set up in a specific way for a specific reason: the person standing next to the lever has no barriers to action, and comprehends the immediate consequences of their choice. This is not so for the kids in Africa example you give.

The trolley problem does not extend readily to systems involving incomplete information or some kind of inaccess to enacting a solution. That is why moral philosophers despise it as an illustrative example -- armchair ponderers apply it with gross negligence to the context and nuance present, so it ends up illustrating nothing much except ignorance for the details of the thought experiment.
