> where people won't take responsibility for their actions, so penance is needed

If people are really broken to the point of not being able to understand or control their actions-- what is the value of the prison time? Would you send a small child to prison for a criminal act? How is it different if someone is involuntarily mentally impaired?

In this case, it's not clear to me what is right.
Pedestrians play second fiddle to cars in Seattle as a whole. The walkable areas of Seattle are great, but they are a small portion of the city and are poorly connected. Some very active parts of the city have 4 or 5 lane arterials cutting through them with cars completely ignoring cross signals and pedestrians. Other areas lack sidewalks altogether.
“Dubai oil magnates vs. Boomers, who’s more gross?” is an interesting debate. But if you seriously believe that “the elephant in the room” with sex work is you wanting to haggle your prostitutes for lower prices, then I highly doubt they’re finding you as “yummy” as you think, lol.
I would be surprised if we had fewer specialists, either in absolute numbers or in relative numbers. The fields of specialization might have changed over time. Maybe many people who would've become botanists a hundred years ago now are geneticists or something like that.
This paper was posted only yesterday, 3 weeks after NIST announcement.

> IT team hates third-party repos

Make sure an allocation of your frustration is pointed at this.

Gnome tweaks should be a default package. Is it not in an accessible repo for RHEL?

I just switched from Pop OS to Fedora 36 on my laptop and am getting the hang of pure GNOME 3 quickly. Other than Guale not working for some reason, Vivaldi and terminal and python run just fine. Hotkeys are abundant.
My guess is that since the rest of the project (not in PS itself) is in C, it’s in C. And it may be borrowing from the PS interpreter codebase. I dunno.

Requiring another skillset, toolchain, etc. is onerous and has to be weighed in those decisions. Rust is cool for sure, but difficult to adopt in brownfield projects because of humans more than tech.

Also, it wasn’t written on in 2022, just made the default now. GS is a venerable codebase, and jumping on a “new” language bandwagon may have seemed dangerous at the time it was started.

All conjecture. I’m not an expert or involved.

What particular brand do you use?
You are gleefully ignoring the nearly weekly posts here about people getting locked out of all their Google services for terms of service violations that make no sense. Google has no support mechanisms.

My personal experience with an anti-spam service that got bought by Google and was cancelled was awful, as the "replacement" service was missing features that the one I was paying for originally had. More recently I tried for months to report a widespread Google Maps software issue to no avail where Streetview data was inaccessible. I had to resort to getting someone that works at Google to report the issue internally after which is was fixed within a few weeks.

It really is true that Google treats their users like garbage. The pretty much follows when users are merely an expense to be minimized in the quest to sell more ads.
Every site is different, but in general I have seen the greatest correlation between bounce rate and FCP. Ensuring sites are quickly responsive also matters, of course. But users will straight up leave after a few seconds of blank.
I edited my comment before I saw this, but I was definitely right about biological essentialism.

Nature may make a framework for things, but our brains can work us out of that framework very easily. Not to mention you’re just wrong - plenty of older people (mostly women) would describe their sex drive as higher than ever.
The 45 minutes on, 15 minutes off aspect reminded me of the increasingly popular modern "backyard ultra marathon", (run the same 4.1667 mile course every hour until one person is left). Obviously those aren't rigged or exploitative, and winning doesn't get you anything much except bragging rights amongst a particular set of people.
> It still has to be fast enough

Fast enough is relative.

I'm European and don't know the USA situation very well, but IMO consistency beats speed every time.

The route between the city of Monza and Milan in Lombardy takes 10 minutes by train and 40 by car (not including parking)

People take the car because that train line is not reliable and trains are often canceled last minute.

In theory the train is much faster, in practice it's a Russian roulette.
Lein templates are a great way to get started with a lot of pieces already in. Perhaps there's already a template for your needs
I don't know the current team, but I have met its founder: L. Peter Deutsch [1].

James Gosling, inventor of Java, once described him as the "greatest programmer in the world". They both used to work at Sun Microsystems.

It would be nice if this was a link that explained what happened. Right now the link is to search and that didn't tell me anything. Presumably it used to pop up a timer, but how am I supposed to know that?
> People are really nice

This was one of the surprises to me when starting something as well. People, by default, want to be helpful! Especially people who are current/former founders.
Competing paradigms of obesity: energy balance versus carbohydrate-insulin

I've used lots of little utilities and scripts in many languages, but I can't recall running across a clojure project. Occassionally java of course, but nothing with source code in clojure. Is clojure more serverside/business?
I tend to agree with you about e-bikes. A class 3 can go up to 28 MPH from the manufacturer, and getting them to go faster is an easy modification.

For anyone that isn’t aware, a Sur Ron X is essentially an electric dirt bike that can get up to 50 MPH when modified.
But they're already known to do exactly that. Here's how a lobbying group representing Google, among other companies, went full scaremongering in reaction to a proposed anti-trust law:

I agree that we should at least be concerned, I think the best argument against this stuff is that we should be building a world where AI replaces dangerous, repetitive, tedious work. Using it to take away the economic value of work humans ENJOY doing is dangerous. I think detractors that are eager to dismiss it as not as good as humans are wrong though and it's shockingly close to going far beyond what humans can do artistically. It won't be long before these systems can not only dream up an image from language, but make that image an animated 3d scene with dynamic lighting and animation and behaviors. If this technology keeps progressing media and artistic creation are going to be changed completely.
It would have been fun to see the exponential behavior unfold. Want to supply one soldier for one week? No big deal. Want to supply one soldier for n weeks without resupply? Better have a huge amount of resources dedicated to just supply.

Except I suspect the wagon equation is actually worse than the rocket equation. Rockets can have large fuel tanks, and rockets can throw away their stages en route. But if you like your army to continue to exist, you can’t throw away your wagon drivers, etc. So you have worse than exponential behavior — eventually any food-carrying resource runs out of the ability to carry its own food, and it can’t go farther even with exponential blowup.

I suppose that, if setting up supply caches is in the cards, then the rocket equation might emerge again. If one person can carry enough for a 10-day round trip, then they could walk 4 days, deposit 2 days of food, and walk home. Repeat five times and there’s a full resupply at the cache. Now the person can deplete the cache by visiting it, filling their pack, walking four more days, caching two days of food, and walking all the way home. So they can go on a 4n-day one-way trip by doing ~5^n advance supply trips.

At least once you boost a rocket to escape velocity, it keeps going!
The worst dam idea: evaporating the Mediterranean to power Europe
The final part of a trilogy of stories I ran in my newsletter - and since the first two were well-received on here a few months back, and got me some generous & good advice on tightening them up, I thought I'd push my luck a final time. Plus, this topic's both wtf-barmy and perhaps timely, considering Europe's energy supply issues right now.
Out of interest what did you replace G Suite with? All the paid options I've looked at cost more and/or have shockingly poor spam protection.
Awesome things happen when copyright gets out of the way.
From my perspective, they're all hyperscale for whatever that's worth. It seems like we may be hitting the end of Moore's law (actually more or less on schedule) and so I wonder how these cloud companies would keep pushing costs down and lowering or even keeping prices flat. If power and engineering and hardware costs keep increasing, then at some point something has to give, though I suppose Amazon does have large margins they could potentially erode first.

I miss just working on infrastructure and not having to try and guess at an economic analysis of your suppliers to try and keep from getting crushed like an unnoticed insect on the boot of one of these companies, but perhaps it was never that simple - I was just young and inexperienced.
> is an interesting debate

Indeed. What's not a debate is 19 y/o vs 91 y/o.

I did not mention race, political stance, skin color, language spoken or country of birth or any of those things. It's you who did that.

Slef driving would probably make the car problem worse.
I don't see in this article any discussion of the obvious possibility that it is dementia that causes the sarcopenia and obesity, rather than the other way around. I know anecdotally of cases where, as dementia increased, the willingness to exercise declined, along with the rise of a sweet tooth.

Not saying it couldn't work the other way (or both ways), but a longitudinal study that showed which way the causation worked would have been more persuasive.
I regularly rode when it was over 100 degrees. It honestly was not a problem. I know a lot of drivers find this hard to believe, but it's true.

- Being in good shape reduced how much I sweat in the first place. If an average driver started cycling, they'd see a reduction in how much they sweat from getting in better shape alone.

- I would wear lightweight clothes for my commute and change when I got to work.

- On hotter days, I would wet down my shirt and a stocking I wore on my head. That water would evaporate, making sweating unnecessary. If the water evaporated prematurely, I found that a small spray bottle would work great to add back water and avoid sweating. (If it's too humid, this won't work, obviously, but I didn't find the humidity in Austin to be a problem.)

- Don't ride too fast.

- My ride wasn't longer than 15 minutes. Obviously, the longer the ride, the more sweat. I found that even on 100+ degree days, I would only slightly sweat given the other things I did.

- If I did sweat, I'd wipe the sweat off with a bandana or rag and then splash water on myself to freshen up. If you do splash water on yourself, dry yourself off before going to see coworkers as some assumed that I was sweating profusely when I wasn't.

- A bike commute naturally places going to work at a cooler part of the day, the morning. I don't care if I'm sweaty when I get back home.

- Also, getting a little sweaty isn't that bad. A lot of people seem to think that sweating automatically makes you smell terrible. But that hasn't been my experience. Yes, getting extremely sweaty can smell terrible and feel grimy too, but mild sweat is pretty normal and happens to people who are walking outside for a few minutes when it's hot.
SQLite also has support for csv (even without this extension) so if you can process your cnab into csv that may be the easiest most supported way to go.
A damn good question. These old school mega merges are widely avoided in most places these days, and with good reason. So the skills for doing this are thin on the ground. Plus it’s one of the largest projects in the world and whilst Linus got to grow into the current role over decades, a replacement would be starting on an already speeding train.

An obvious solution is modularization and stable internal ABIs, but the Linux community have avoided that approach for a long time, and with good reason.

> Is it more human to live in a village where the local feudal lord has right of life and death on everyone?

Certainly, marginalized communities probably feel this was about their local police force. How do you think people feel about the police during the Uvalde shootings?

> Where people are bought and sold as cattle with the land they are forced to live on?

People live in expensive cities because that is where the jobs are and where they live are controlled by landlords who were eager to evict them during the pandemic until some cities enacted eviction bans for a time. Private equity are buying entire neighborhoods to rent them out. Sure, in theory no one is forced to live anywhere, but in practice they are.

> Is it more human to live in a kingdom that will go to war…

You mean the War on Terror? The proxy wars against communism (e.g. Vietnam)? The World Wars? The numerous conflicts the US fought to overthrow democratic elected leaders in South America and the world to install dictators more aligned with US business interests (for their oil, their resources, to “liberalize” their economy so US multinationals can take over the local economy)?

> Is it more human to live as a slave…

Is it more human that productivity has increased 10x in the past decade but wages have been stagnant? Is it more human that we are increasingly forcing people to have bullshit jobs when automation could do it better and faster and we could instead re-distribute the wealth robots make into a UBI so that everyone could enjoy a life pursing their real passions?

> An ever-increasing percentage of world population lives in the best of times…

An ever-increasing amount of the world are living under a dystopian nightmare where people are being dehumanized and the planet being made unlivable all so arbitrary numbers on a spreadsheet gets bigger and bigger.

———

The problem is not that we feel less human than we did before, but that we don’t feel more human now. With all of our progress and advancements, with our increasing understanding of ourselves and our world, why isn’t the world more human (more humanistic)?
Well this was a good reminder to add my website to my HN bio! Just crossed the 10k boundary, but I wouldn't say I'm "famous" at all. There are only a few users who I recognise – jaquesm, pc, dang, patio11, dannybee, maybe a few others.
Oh, sorry, forgot this hasn’t passed yet. Yes, they should be doing that regardless.
That's a very interesting thread. Looks like things haven't been figured out to the point of prescriptive directions, but thank you very much for bringing it to my attention. Will keep my eyes on it.

Yup. I didn't say that just to get in a dig at Google; I said it because after glancing at the search results, and having worked at a similarly "data-driven" company for a long time, it seems like the most likely and obvious explanation.
> in reality, Asians have the largest income gap with one of the highest poverty rates

The Asian poverty rate has been virtually the same as the white one since 23 years ago [1], and is currently the lowest of all racial groups, by a slim margin [2].

> Then in January, brutal hate crimes occurred across the U.S., specifically targeting the Asian elderly, including Vicha Ratanapakdee, an 84-year-old Thai man, who died from being shoved. [..] [My old neighbor] wanted an easy outlet for his rage. It was about exhibiting dominance in a society that rewards whiteness.

For all the blame the author puts on "whiteness", they fail to mention that Ratanapakdee was killed by a Black man [3]. And if we look beyond the very malleable category of "hate crime" (which includes crimes against society and property... weren't we recently told it's illegitimate to care about property crimes?) and focus on something objective, namely homicide [4], we see that in 2019 (the latest year for which I was able to find this data), of the 247 homicides perpetrated against the "other race" [5] group, 138 were perpetrated by other members of the "other race" group, leaving 109 inter-racial homicides. Of these, 39 were by non-Hispanic whites (57 by "whites" including Hispanics, minus 18 by Hispanics, that are nearly always classified as white), and 40 by blacks.

Meaning non-Hispanic whites, who are 62% of the non-other races of the US committed 36% of the inter-racial homicides against Asians, while Blacks, who are 13%, committed 37%.

Yet I am not surprised the author puts all the blame on "whiteness", and none on anyone else.

Show HN: Isla – Calendly for Task Management
In today's workplace, we use countless communication tools. They provide lots of value but quickly become uncontrollably full of noise. Plus, it's so easy to use these tools that people don't stop even for a second to think about what they ask (impact, context, etc.) and the consequences of interrupting people, forcing them to switch contexts continuously. This is detrimental to deep work.

Sick of this, I decided to talk with some 40 people at companies small to big (Uber, Spotify, Stripe, etc.) and dig deeper to understand if and how they solve this problem.

It turns out that in many companies with more than 300-400 people, the amount of tools and noise created becomes uncontrollable. Plus, it's strenuous to enforce communication policies in the workplace.

I then decided to build a tool that you can think of as Calendly for task management. Instead of allowing people to bombard you from everywhere in an uncontrollable and unstructured way (WhatsApp, Slack, Emails, etc.), you give them a link, and they fill requests with the information you previously defined as required/optional.

Plus, you can plug in Trello and Asana (more to come) so that you don’t have to copy and paste requests that come your way into your personal or team board.

Plus, requesters automatically update on changes without accessing your board or having an account.

Please let me know if this is total bs or provides any value to you.

Note: I developed this in 1 month so expect things to break potentially.

I sincerely thank any feedback either here below, at romeo@getisla.com, or in the site's chat.
What kind of development tools would this run though? Does it have things like tcpdump, gcc, or Python?
I’m amazed that you were single-handedly able to build such a complex utility working solo in your free-time. I’m impressed with all the features you’ve added and that the pro version only costs $4.99/mo. I hope you took notes about the progression of the project, as it would be an interesting story to tell one day on a blog or as a presentation.
$300k down and a personal guarantee for $5M.
That's a great service. I can think of various features to support more use cases:

* provide an optional label - for the use case where several clocks are used and shared.

* start and share several stop watches from a single page: start them one by one or together. For a race with multiple participants that either start sequentially or together.

* Support taking split times.

* Combine timer and stopwatch: count down from a set time, then start the stopwatch at zero. It currently does this already. This supports races like sailing where the actual start is preceded by a countdown period.

> And the city could crack down more on the drivers who blow through red lights or stop across crosswalks.

Based on my recent visit to New York, the main traffic issue I saw was really bad light timing. This trains both pedestrians and drivers to ignore the traffic signals.
Sounds like Sam Altman and Paul Graham. Thinking theyre good for the world but in reality theyre destroying it but not wise enough to understand their actions. Maybe high on their success from going from being nerds who've never kissed a girl to billionaires who can afford to lose their virginities.

Harsh, but I don't know why they're idolized tbh.

Certainly many people enjoy that type of life. The frustrating part is the one-size-fits-all zoning that has made it difficult to build anything but that type of community. It's illegal to build car-free apartments in many places because car owners think they should be able to drive and park everywhere.
Unless it was found late, I guess it's not an intentional launch but a bug. Today is Sunday and I believe Search prohibits making any significant production changes from happening Friday~Sunday.

This is very timely for something I've been wanting to do! Giving it a try now.

Edit: tried it. I like it, I hadn't used playwright before but it was fairly straightforward to set up the test I wanted. Since you requested feedback, some thoughts:

- I started by writing and testing my check locally, and then copied it over into a “synthetic test”. It would be cool if that were more seamless, e.g. if all of my tests were configured through a git repo and DevRaven had a GitHub webhook that was notified when the config changed.

- I had to double-escape some backslashes in my code for it to be accepted, you might be eating the escapes during some string processing?

- It would be cool to see timings of tests (i.e. the time between individual asserts as reported by playwright, but even the overall time would be a useful metric).

- This is probably just my inexperience with playwright, but it would be nice to have an example that used playwright's expect function instead of chai.

- TypeScript support would also be nice.
