Vim's online documentation (in the original meaning of "online") is second to none in the text editor/IDE space.

- A quick and easy interactive tutorial to teach you the absolute basics: $ vimtutor. No prerequisite whatsoever.

- An extensive tutorial that takes you from noob to wherever you want to go in a gentle and iterative way, the user manual: :help usr_toc. This one is pretty much the natural next step after vimtutor if you ever want to use Vim efficiently. Too many people think they are smart enough so they skip it. They are wrong. Even vimtutor is not a prerequisite.

- A heavily cross-linked reference that covers literally everything, the reference manual: :help reference_toc. This one can be anything from extremely detailed to very terse. You get there when you are not sure about something are to take a deep dive on a specific subject. In general, this part of the documentation makes more sense if you went through the user manual first.

There's more. Colleges that perpetrate these rip-offs should lose their tax-exempt status. Otherwise, we all continue to subsidize them.

A lot of these schools wallow in obscene endowments and own a shitload of prime real estate, while paying no taxes and bringing in loads of money on sports. It's time to bring them to heel.

I got bit by this on my 13-inch first gen M1. I have a three monitor set up, and didn’t check the specs because I assumed basically any laptop worth it’s salt today would support that.

Also see "Why most unit testing is waste" and "Segue" by Jim Coplien.

The main takeaway is that if you test your code on the wrong ("unit") level, you may easily get ~100% coverage, but that is mostly worthless. Test on higher levels instead, ie. against business requirements, and don't worry about code coverage that much.

>That's not really true. Zoning was usually set up later. Often the existing buildings wouldn't be permitted by the zoning rules but were "grandfathered in". (If we made this practice illegal and insisted that you have to demolish anything that doesn't fit the new zoning laws, that might be one way to keep zoning laws sane). Even if the final state of those people's buildings is legal, often the process by which they were built wouldn't be.

No disagreement there, I'm no expert but think it just wasn't as formal as we current have it. But informally it still roughly matches how we currently do it (residential areas, commercial area, industrial areas, etc). Building codes, technologies, materials, etc change much more frequently which is a bigger reason that old buildings wouldn't exist today. I happen to reside in a part of the US that has seen massive sprawl and growth in just the past ~50-70 years, so it's been mostly planned. I can currently see how the next generation of exurbs will be developed and I think it's been that way for at least 30 years.

> Guess they should've had the foresight to get born earlier? It seems absurdly unfair to say that zoning set up for a population that was half the size should bind the current generation. I get that it's individually rational to want to pull the ladder up behind you, but it's disgusting. (And for the "people shouldn't be forced out of their home" crowd: my generation gets forced out of our homes every 2-3 years because we can't afford to own and have to rent. So I won't shed any tears for boomers getting forced out of their home once in several decades)

Are we out of land in the US? (I'm assuming you're in US). Why do you need that specific piece of land that the person you are displacing already owns? Job/commute, convenience, etc are unacceptable answers in my book. Employers can and should be dispersing, you're likely broadly employable and could find work elsewhere. They could put their office elsewhere. But you're choosing to live in an area that you can't afford to own (and they're choosing to office out of a location that their employees can't live in). Ignoring those or pushing them on the current land owners makes no sense. Curious if you have any evidence that rents are not market driven? It's my opinion your generation is forcing each other's rents up by refusing to move to a more affordable location. When a boomer bought that house, decades ago, it probably wasn't as desirable of a location as it is today. I happen to believe you are more in control of the entire situation than you care to admit but would rather stay put and blame the boomers or change the rules because you don't like the cards you were dealt. The "shed no tears" thing goes both ways, but they did get there first and they do already own their house, so it's an uphill battle for you.

I would love to do art, but life is full of opportunity cost. You can't do everything.

This technology will enable so many people to create art without having to devote thousands of hours to practice. That's a good thing!

I'm sure many artists used to say the same to artists that utilized tablets when they first came about. Or C programmers joking about early Perl and Javascript programmers.

It's rhymes a bit with the Luddite argument.

We're seeing the emergence of new workflows. Few people hand wash their clothes anymore, and we're not worse for it.

> the people interested in content creation for content creations' sake are not likely to benefit.

I'm telling you that I would directly benefit. I love creating content, but I can't draw. I don't have the time to learn. These tools will empower me, and they'll only get better with time.

> For every "successful" Youtuber raking in millions, there are hundreds, thousands for whom it just didn't work out

There are more people making money creating content now than in any time in history. These tools and platforms have democratized access. People now have a path where there wasn't one before.

These platforms and tools don't, however, remove the requirement to be good at what you do and to find, understand, cater to, and grow your audience.

> Sure, everyone can upload, that doesn't mean most people do.

90% rule. There are still more creators today than in the past, and the field will only grow from here.

> Now, it's extremely centralized

That's orthogonal. I agree with you about platforms and centralization being a bit of a problem, but for what it's worth, the platforms do make it easier for most people.

I've had to use Teams daily for the past two jobs I've had. Over-engineered is not what comes to mind when describing the app. It's not a complicated app, the UI isn't overwhelming, and if anything it seems like it lacks functionality.

Visual Studio - that's seems over-engineered (excellent app in many respects, but still...) The whole Lync thing felt over-engineered. MS has more than a few good examples of over-engineering, but Teams doesn't strike me as one of them.

I'm sure Teams has crashed on me at least once in using it for the past 3-4 years, but if so then it has been extremely rare - I wouldn't call it a crashy app. I've experienced performance issues with it, particularly when I've got my laptop hooked up to a larger monitor and I'm sharing my screen. There too though, I've learned to live with it and Teams works fine for me day to day.

However, I do see it as a lowest-common-denominator slack clone, and I agree with others here in that the overall Teams experience is lacking compared to slack.

It feels like MS is trying to do something different with it, but it hasn't worked. They keep pushing it so hard though that more and more people find themselves having to interact with it. Similarly, more and more shops pick it up because "nobody ever got fired for choosing Microsoft" and they're probably already neck-deep in Azure and O365 anyway.

Teams is not particularly buggy, it's not crash prone, it seems like it's missing some functionality, and other functionality seems like an afterthought (e.g., the wiki feature). It's just not a great app.

People bypass account authentication, that's been a thing for over a decade, so a ban would be fairly meaningless on a huge chunk of servers that authenticate through their own systems, which most NFT-focused servers likely already do. Admittedly, looks like a lot has changed since I used to dabble in the 2011 era, though this was only introduced in June 2022 lol.
huh, well I didn't know there was a crime wave but this answers one of my questions about if people don't want to work anymore what could they be doing to make ends meet? Which I asked thinking that there was not really any significant crime right now.

on edit: however the article doesn't seem to tell anything about property crimes or other things that lead to people getting money out of it, it seems more concerned with violence (which I guess should be concerned with) but then I still don't know, hey how are all these people who don't want to work getting by. It's not really the kind of problem you can assault your way out of.

Yes, you are right. To rephrase, you say that a browser could first increment its clock to the value larger that the backends, and then synchronize and "win" with the backend, setting the backend value to some bogus "none".

I'd say that it's "fine" in a way that the browser and the backend agree to "something" and are in sync. The case we wanted to prevent was that the browser and the backed hold different values and cannot agree which value to converge to.
Daily Teams user and I agree with you. Maybe the scope is too broad. But the UI is the worst part. I have around 50 chats open and switching from one to another usually takes more than 10 seconds. Joining a large-ish meeting takes 30 seconds of hearing audio and no response from the UI.

Usually the day to day experience is really, really bad.

Except it's kinda hyperbolic beyond good faith.
I’m happy to accept that these words are fuzzy, but I’m not sure the article really settles on a better mental model. In fact, it just seems to say “but everything’s declarative underneath!” which may be equally meaningless.

The thing we should care about is the cognitive overhead of these languages and systems. Control flow adds to complexity, as does state. But often in declarative languages you’re still having to reason about what the underlying runtime is going to do with your declarations (SQL is a truly monstrous example of this).

I don’t think we’ve stumbled onto the final, best approach here. I suspect the long term answer isn’t the YAMLification of all things. It probably isn’t a JavaScript DSL either. In the longest of long terms I assume I can just hand my requirements to an AI at AWS and say “boot up something like that please”. Lots of room for interesting ideas in between!
I blame a particularly macho form of management which takes "tough" decisions regardless of the impact on their employees. Every time I have encountered this style of management (most recently in my last role), it has led to an exodus of talent, both in the short term (expected) and the longer term.

Three years later, the few people I know who still work there say the culture is now irretrievably damaged. What was an attractive, fun place to work is now an unhappy place. They are struggling to recruit good people where before their reputation was an asset.

But the manager concerned remains, has no doubt hit her goals of cost reduction or efficiency or whatever. And has hired more of her kind.
It doesn’t, it’s been carefully boundary-set so that it only impacts a small handful of large US tech companies. They probably would have just come out and written their names in explicitly into the law (like Australia did a while back), except that sort of thing is frowned upon.
In my opinion, you should realize that your view of this is shaped by your own strong commitment on the topics you care about. Because of that, you're much more likely to notice the points you disagree with, to overinterpret them (as you've done with the link you mentioned in the sibling comment), and to weight them more heavily. It's the charge of your own view that attracts this view of moderation, like a magnetic field attracting iron filings into its own pattern.

Pretty much everyone with strong views feels this way about HN moderation, but the specifics of what they feel (and see) are as different and as disagreeing amongst themselves as their underlying views are. We get this sort of complaint from every angle under the sun, literally every day. When you're forced to look at the problem from every perspective, you realize that the dynamic at work is completely different than what each specific perspective thinks it is. But those perspectives are awfully convincing, because the force driving the perception is so intense.

The very same intensity, of course, is what leads people to break the site guidelines in the first place, while feeling entirely justified in doing so—because, after all, one is so right and other people on the internet are so wrong. This is the dynamic we're trying, to the extent possible, to nudge discussion out of.
