This might not be exactly what you were asking, but I found it to work well as the means to end with the best possible (given current knowledge) outcome, including considerations such as avoiding code that is too smart, or otherwise justifying and documenting it well.

Good commit messages. Why did I do what I did? How does it serve the end goal? What key decisions did I make? What were the trade-offs? What are the alternatives?

If I can't justify the commit, I can improve—and by doing this exercise, I will know where.

Ask reviewers to also review your commit messages. They might find gaps you missed, and it will help them in their code review.
It's true, but they are able to buy and sell power from the eastern grid (my understanding is it's less efficient, because it goes to DC and back to AC at the interface, but it does happen normally). They weren't able to buy any power a year and a half ago, because the eastern grid needed theirs for the same winter storm, but presumably during summer heat waves it works better as long as points north aren't all running their air conditioners nonstop as well.

The low natgas line pressure was also related to the fact that points north were using more than usual as well. In fact, one of the responses to the power outage was to stop all natgas flowing from Texas to Mexico. So it's not only the power grid, but also the natgas lines, that connects Texas to points outside.
I can see how it can be confusing: you argue that transit is safe insisting that any crime happening around the transit use is irrelevant. You get mugged walking out of the station because that's where criminals expect solid foot traffic? Not transit fault, even though there is no way to avoid this situation while using transit. On the other hand, convenience stores on gas stations, where most crime is happening against clerks, are making driving dangerous for everyone even though you don't need to visit these stores while driving. I suspect you are emotionally invested in propagating the idea of transit safety and there is no point in further argument, which I only entered out of curiosity about your math.
I think the comment is proposing a massive shift toward rental and away from ownership. The landscape would not look the way it does now.
> The author's statement wasn't a direct attack on the UBI proponent.

I think it was though. It's hard to read "ySo you want people to sit at home all day and collect free money" as anything but free leeching, lazy, people who don't deserve the money (obviously heavily reading between the lines).

While your version "UBI literally lets people receive free money even if they sit at home all day." has several advatanges, by using passive voice and saying "even" you take a huge chunk of UBI receivers and make the "abuse" of the system not malicious.

That's kind of the point of the article. Sometimes tone alone can bridge the gap between a mean, angry, unfair reading of an argument or a positive, best version, good intentioned reading. Yours doesn't go as far as being super fair on what many UBI people want, but it is certainly more charitable than the strawmanned version.

> By far the most popular UBI proposal in the US proposes

Arguing with someone over the benefits of UBI and trying to understand where they come from does not requiere knowledge of the currently proposed version of it. I want universal healthcare but could not give you intricate examples of the working of the multi-insurance service in France vs the fully public system in England.

The 12k proposal in the US I am sure is based on some analysis of cost of living, and tech business growth and what not. But it might not be universal. UBI proponents in general want to simplify goverment aid, help lessen the problems of automation and prepare society for post scarcity. These three groups sometimes have very different aims, goals and even starting points they just all happen to want UBI.
How would you pay the rent for your home in your theoretical world without working a job? You’re paying to live no matter what. At least when you own something you have something to show for your labor. Also, I think there’s a lot of truth to the old adage: “buy real estate, they’re not making any more of it.”
> I kinda imagine that people in 2072 are going to dig this paper out, look at the flooded skyscrapers in the Manhattan skyline and wondering what kind of political perversity kept this dream from coming true.

I don't feel like that question would be hard to answer at all, it's the same as "Who funded climate denial for decades?" - largely the fossil fuel industries (1)

Is it "political perversity"? Yes, for sure, and increasingly blatant, given studies like the one reported on above.

In 8 years of living in Chicago... I've had the power go out for approximately 2 seconds.
It’s an interesting idea, a few loopholes come to mind:

If the option to sell is at anytime through the year, there is the risk of city being on the hook when values tank across the board. If the exercise window is only say a month after the appraisal this risk is diminished.

I could see this system being used to exploit uneducated homeowners and essentially con them into selling below market value. Not sure how to lower the risk of this one happening.
I don't have a lot of faith in the namecoin or namecoin-derivative solutions. Just because an agent has a lot of cryptocurrency or hash power doesn't mean they should be able to steal or squat a domain. There are security consequences for domain ownership.

Users should get to explicitly decide for themselves who owns what domain, or delegate that power to a trusted authority to decide for them. GNS enables this behavior.

I think namespacing is a rather poor use-case of this type of consensus.
> In Rust, moves are destructive (which simplifies implementions - you don't need an "empty" state) and always bitwise (which is usually fine, so long as they're destructive); and copies are always explicit so you don't have the above problem.

Rust has implicit copies too, e.g. if you do:

let v = 2u16;
foo(v);

then v is being copied. What Rust does not have is implicit deep copies. The auto-copying depends on the type and is only done for types that don't have a custom destructor, or to be more precise, implement the Copy trait. So a big array of integers gets copied (because it implements the Copy trait), but a Vec gets moved (because of its custom destructor there is no Copy trait implementation).

To be fair, I don't understand it in sports either.

Would Brazil 1970 beat Spain 2008 or Man Utd 1999? Since we can't accurately predict the results of real games, it seems irrelevant to predict the results of hypothetical ones.

I know people enjoy it, but it's not for me.
That is only regarding death certificates.
Some states have rule to report COVID death like this: COVID death certificate plus if tested positive in last 60 days (California just changed to 30 after backclash). And California has only have natural death requirement listed for younger that 18. It is interesting these rules are only in dem states.

So I bet that California has overreported number of deaths while Florida has underreported.

I also did not believe this.
> At this point the only thing you're retaining is the chassis, keyboard, and display which makes up a small overall cost of the laptop.

I don't really agree with this take.

I've looked a bit around for laptops at the end of 2021, and it was my impression that the difference between cheaper and pricier laptops from a given manufacturer is exactly those bits that don't change that much: nicer screens, cases, speakers, etc. They all come with the same CPUs and take the same RAM and NVMe drives.
Ask HN: Where’s the comment that says The Pragmatic Programmer isn’t pragmatic?
I think it gave an example of how it isn’t pragmatic.

>Moral of the story: Don't piss off the establishment politicians, or bad shit is likely to happen to you and yours.

I think you read another article, someone with mental problems broke into a house and killed one of the occupants.

The house was famous because it was advertised for sale on Zillow and for some reasons, since it had a 3,000,000 US$ nuclear shelter, it became viral.

Allegedly the killer wanted to access this bunker "so that he could secure it for himself and his family and friends".

These are the reported facts, the rest is either embellishments by the New York Times or sort of conspiracy theories by the owner[0], who was a former member of the Kentucky House of Representatives.

When/if some actual proof of the killing being originated by his previous political activity will come out, then there will be something to believe your "moral of the story".

[0] from the article:

How could that be the work of an insane person? he asked.

He instead speculated about political forces that might have it in for him and his family. He talked about hired assassins and past C.I.A. experiments with brainwashing, and suggested that a violent attack on the home of a Second Amendment champion like himself had all the signs of an operation to justify more gun control.

> can we ask how we got here?

- most people have a stupid bias towards "doing something, anything, doesn't matter if it doens't work"

- politicians and "thought leaders" and "experts" amplify this bias to bewildering extents of stupidity (mostly for selfish reasons, is something goes wrong and they "did nothing" they destroyed, if they do something wrong but it was "the established best thing to do at the time" they can just say "oops, we were wrong, but now we've learned from it, we all learn from our mistakes and grow")

- so we get the shitshow we have/had!

And doing some simple experiments to establish faster that eg. masks work was only very very late done - "not a priority to do stupid pseudo-science pseudo-experiments now, let our scientists focus on the important things".

Our effor to "control" (lockdown) or "prioritize" (oh no, there won't be any masks left for healthcare workers if everyone buys them) or "efficientize" ("let's not have thousands of independent vaccines and do wasteful overlapping studies") or "be ethical" (oh now, forget that we have ~100k pople offering themselves as volunteers for proper but faster vaccines testing, we can't just put them at risk to accelerate the process) turned everything to shit.

It's kind of obvious that if we want antifragility towards pandemic we need less-coordinated responses, more divergent thinking and more organically-organized common sense approaches even when the evidence for them is still lacking.

...instead we picked the technocratic-authoritarian playbook and our plan for a potential future even worse pandemic is to double down harder on the same path (wtf).
The Unity situation is definitely weird and Unity basically introduced a lot of FUD about itself. I know a lot of indies are worried about things like Unity pushing microtransactions on all developers. I think I would be worried even if I was the developer of one of those huge microtransaction games. Unity has probably seen how much money Apple and Google are making from their cut of microtransactions while Unity itself is only making money from the engine seat licensing (at least that’s my understanding. I don’t believe Unity collects royalties). I wouldn’t be surprised if Unity tries to change licensing for future versions of the engine to try to get it’s own slice of the microtransaction money.

I said this is what happens when you don't have an income tax because I think it's true, not because I don't think this is better. People with property should pay proportionally more taxes because services go to people proportionally to the amount of property they have. I'm all for wealth taxes, and property taxes are wealth taxes.

This is the gentry getting gentrified.
Yeah, I too quite like the approach, but at the moment the components are too dissociated with each other, so something like what you suggested would come along way to making the platform more welcoming and useful.

And? Helicopters are easy to hide and fly in low. And most of those missions have been suicide. The idea that Russia (or any military) can detect and intercept everything is unrealistic.

I think a lot of people have a misunderstanding of how these things work because they're comparing this to the invasion of Iraq (a 3rd rate military at best with basically zero air defense).

You might be interested in this document from Credit Suisse: https://research-doc.credit-suisse.com/docView?language=ENG&...

There are more than 450 references to saturated fat in the document, but I found this phrase early on:

> Our view is that saturated fats intake is at worst
neutral for CVD risks and the current 10% upper limit should be lifted.

Apologies if there was some other property of red meat that you had in mind, although I've been convinced from people commenting studies purportedly linking red meat and say, colon cancer, are just based on poor quality epidemiological data. And, while there was some sort of intuitive sense in which one could imagine the saturated fat eaten with meat/dairy products would mechanically clog arteries, I don't see anything like this with red meat. In fact, we are made of it, why would eating it have a deleterious effect? To the contrary, it seems that abstaining from meat often quite quickly causes iron deficiency/disregulation, B12 deficiency and so on.
Cars are increasingly moving to a more-or-less rental model, with lots of finance and little eventual ownership.

But this doesn't solve the "less garbage parked" problem; for that you need short-term rentals and although ZipCar and others are making inroads there are real challenges here: the demand is bursty (everyone wants a car on a sunny weekend) and the model is inconvenient (can't leave stuff in your car).
It's not just the food that determines how our body reacts; it's also the microbiome, which produces a wide array of compounds that can enter our bloodstream, and possibly cross the blood-brain barrier. The microbiome is an incredible collection of microbes that is necessary for our health, and yet mostly a mystery at this point. The foods we eat have a direct impact on which microbes thrive, or don't thrive, in our gut -- which is a siginificant part of how our diet affects our gut health.
I need to bookmark your response, it really is the gold standard of “socialism is the answer” responses.

“You have no solution so that’s not helpful.”
I’m not offering you a target so I should be quiet. I’m not providing an alternative so the problem needs no more thought. No value from discussion not about socialism. Check.

“Duh to anything where I agree with you, you simply misunderstood my words and Lenin’s words, and nothing you said is original.” Not looking for common ground. General negation. Check.

“Progress is incremental,” and “we need solutions.” Rolls with shutting down discussion, socialism is the only viable and we have no time to look for alternatives, let’s just do. Check.

“I suggest you read my book. You don’t understand it.” Check and check.

From the above, I have to assume you are only interested in socialism, not the broader problems with the formation and decay of conscious society at a global scale. Let me know if that changes.

Do you really not understand why socialism isn’t working? Why people might fear it could just as easily be corrupted as anything else? Your reply is practically performance art on the subject.
I agree that it should have been named better (rvalue_cast might have worked) but that wouldn't have solved the core problem: Does f(std::become_rvalue_reference(x)) make a copy of x? It's more obvious that it might but I still lack the facility to make it cause a compile time error if it would (except changing x's class to disallow any copies at all).

I remember watching at least part of the film as a child (too young to appreciate it at all), and seeing this scene particular later as an adult. It's intense, and as mentioned towards the end of this analysis, the actual words of the anthem are brutal. They're not singing "God save the king", but rather "we will water our fields with the blood of our enemies."

What I don't think I ever realized is that the film is from 1942. Pretty much every WWII film is from long after the war ended, but this was released early in the France occupation. That adds so much to its meaning and power.
That's true, but at the same time, calling a Russian soldier a selfish bastard isn't going to stop him from invading Ukraine. Presumably, your goal is to motivate somewhat neutral people to support Ukraine or condemn Russia. In that case, the only thing you can do is to refute rationalizations used to justify the invasion.
Faked Beta-Amyloid Data. What Does It Mean?
It's likely that Intel wants industry adoption of the format for laptops and certainly the gushing from HN over the Framework laptop that has a similar swappable mainboard shows that there may be a market for such parts swapping for laptops. But considering the way that Intel abruptly abandoned their Compute Cards that preceded the Compute Element and how the few early adopters were burnt by that, I wonder if we'll see much industry uptake.
the investments included maintenance of existing infrastructure. france has more than half its reactor being off right now. guess what? invest more 5 years before and we wouldnt be there today. so yes. it is not overblown it is factual
Can confirm. Think of it like using an AI to do an initial pass at a conference transcription and then correcting the typos, rather than doing the whole transcription by hand. Even if it's only 85% accurate, you've still saved a boatload of time.

When I did "The Valley of Fear" as my first project, the PG text was used as the base, but if I encountered any kind of ambiguity in the text, I consulted at least a half-dozen other versions of the text via Google Books scans for agreement.

The team is also very particular about only using editions that have entered into the public domain. So if the first edition of a book just entered public domain, you must make sure that what you have produced only uses text from the first edition, and that you haven't inadvertently used a later edition as a base that may have included subsequent editorial changes.
Then why do you need a new name system? Just use the IPv6 address.
And the people who want a change in direction have an interest in calling out any of that sort of thing that may be happening. So if it is, I hope to see it called out in a scientifically substantial way.
Given Intel’s execution track record and even recent mishaps (where’s my Sapphire Rapids Pat, or the gpus?!) even getting this is a big step. They better deliver their A game if they hope to win any real trust.

No idea what GP meant but here's my take:

Right to Repair would imply that individual components of a vehicle can't be under a subscription to use because that implies you don't have full ownership of the part.

Also Right to Repair usually includes some requirements on manufacturers to publish the schematics and repair manuals publically or at least provide them to owners. That means whatever piece controls the subscription would be known, and could be bypassed or removed more easily.

I dunno though. This is just my thoughts

I find in the US there are at least a few airports that AREN'T malls, or are small malls. In Europe every last airport is a huge mall with special delaying tactics to get you to spend more time around the stores. Even regional ones are starting to be malls.

That's probably because a bunch of US airports are too old, and predate designing airports as malls to make sense, but still.

Even in the rear of the vehicle where things don't need to steer packaging is a huge priority. Removing the engine won't change this. The tire was never really trying to conflict with the engine anyway. It was the structural bits of the car that kinda need to be there to support the front and the suspension that got in the way.
Useless Math That Turned Out to Be Important
Unfortunately the local city can’t just print more money. I suspect they could raise property taxes instead though.
I think such a system, while good for theoretical discussion, would be ripe for all manners of abuse and problems as proposed. Perhaps in the ideal free market where everyone is equally educated on property values it might make sense. But such a reality will never exist.
A classic for anyone not familiar:

I can supply a specific, real-world example of this in action. There was a "green business" conference at our University town, with many MBA and entrepreneurial sort of people attending -- an auditorium with panel discussion, maybe about 300 persons with six or eight speakers from large companies active in the area. A person from PG&E (the power company here) a calm and well-spoken woman executive, maybe from a sports background? spoke multiple times about PG&E plans..

every. single. item. discussed by this PG&E exec was at a minimum of ten years away.. many of the replies, it was more years.. so many ways of saying "we are moving towards this" ... and "integrating these systems" .. and "new regulations in progress now" .. etc

within six months, the explosion and fire in San Bruno, California [0] and subsequent investigation, showed that PG&E had falsified inspection documents to avoid detecting existing pipeline maintenance, because of course it costs money to fix pipelines. The executive was repeatedly asked about what to do now, and repeatedly every answer was at least ten years away for "reasons".
