"Maybe it’s not the achieving stuff that makes us happy, but rather the act of chasing after achievements."

I think he is up to something here. Some people enjoy (real world) hunts enormously; I don't, being squeamish about blood and death, but an abstract hunt feels captivating to me.

That said, the piece is written in a deliberately black-and-white way. There is a lot to happiness.

For example, I don't have anywhere enough money to retire, but I have enough not to be forced to bow down to any single boss or customer; they know it and treat me respectfully.

Meat substitutes taste great, you can still have that cheeseburger with something like beyond meat. Yes I'm biased but seriously give it a try.
As for porn, I wouldn't even put it in the same ballpark as eating meat (if you're watching some free porn somewhere your contribution to the industry is negligent) , but anyways it might be overwhelming to try to change everything at once so I wouldn't even try.

> What game are you playing?

Did you read the article? Yeah she's stepped back from the case and asked the state AG to do Mayor Breed a solid. More or less the same exact thing that people tried to flog Boudin for doing (his parents were part of the Weather Underground).

Meanwhile Ms. Tough-on-Crime Jenkins is claiming Soft-on-Crime Boudin overcharged a number of drug cases… which seems to run counter to the narrative being pushed of her being tough on drug crime.

What game are YOU playing?
This is actually pretty funny. There are less than 300 services registered, and a nontrivial number of them are individual mobile games, or duplicates of other registrations. (For example, the phone manufacturer Vivo has something like 18 registrations for individual subdomains.) If the mandate is that every foreign web site or service register... well, that definitely isn't happening.
Ask HN: What are the least frustrating languages/technologies to work with?
As a developer, I value my quality of life. I like to be as productive as possible, with as little frustration as possible.

I don't find challenging problems frustrating.
I find unnecessary problems frustrating.

What industries, tools, and languages are the least frustrating to work in?

Do you believe "modern" programming is more mentally ergonomic? Web development, dynamically typed languages, IDEs, co-pilot, etc.
Or do you take a more traditional and minimalistic approach?

I understand there will always be an element of frustration and difficulty in any given field, but I don't think the life of a developer has to be as low quality as it is currently.
Randy's law of config files:

In the limit, all config files become a language.

So if you have a so-called "declarative" config file, it eventually becomes a ... ? Language - that's imperative. Every time. Yes, really.

What is the only time this doesn't happen? If the config system ceases to exist.
It is, unfortunately, completely sustainable. I used to be a great friend of cash, but with automatic cashiers everywhere and a Garmin watch that you can import your card into, I don't even need to carry a wallet if I just want to buy a few apples. And Covid introduced card use to many people who used to be reluctant about it. (The older demographics, which was most threatened by severe disease.)

I still realize all the privacy and civil rights ramifications etc., but cash is slowly becoming an equivalent of steam engines fighting against diesel and electricity on the railway; high maintenance and inefficient.

Sure, I know. I still don't think this is remarkable, given the general belief amongst a not small number of republicans that the election was stolen in some way. The last president has openly said so, after all.

Ideas about people being bussed around to vote multiple times, about the dead voting, etc. seem part and parcel with this thinking.

I would think that some mechanism to identify voters would nip this problem in the bud, but there continues to be no appetite for it amongst democrats, so there's that.
I meant hack as in languages meant for primarily for manual memory can still have RC (rust, C++), but that will only be a conservative GC algorithm due to no cycle detection. My use of hack here was only to denote that library-only RC , while possible, may not be the best approach and is used as an escape hatch in rare cases.
> It triggers my bios update - to my surprise, I had no idea an OS can do that.

Linux can do that too, it's an UEFI trick (it reboots into a capsule loader, which loads the new firmware into RAM and reboots into the current firmware's built-in updater). Try it: "fwupdmgr get-updates" to see if you have an update, then "fwupdmgr update" to reboot and install the update.
Scan the World is a fantastic open-source photogrammetry project to digitise notable artwork, sculpture, and other objects of cultural significance. I've taken a scan for this project myself using Meshroom, one of the apps mentioned by this guide. It was fun and surprisingly easy; the scan turned out decent despite only using photos taken with my iPhone SE.

VRChat has a museum world built with a selection of these models ("Ancient Art Museum"). Fun to visit in a VR headset.

Reporting comes at a cost to the store. They've got to have their personnel working on it, possibly managerial staff, and they've got a lot of other things to do, and staffing shortages, etc. If reporting doesn't result in police actions that reduce future theft, it seems like it's a waste.

If retail theft is as endemic as reporting would seem to indicate, I don't know how they could get insurance for 'petty' theft anyway, so a police report isn't likely to be useful. Likely their business insurance has higher deductibles anyway, so it's more useful for major theft or damage, not for smaller claims.
I haven't watched Rambo. Well, I feel differently about army vets as a total population than civilian killers.

But perhaps there is a difference to the way we perceive the world. I'll ask you a question in turn and tell you how I feel.

Imagine there are two hypothetical groups of people. One is a group of people who will punch you for "looking at them funny". The other is every world heavyweight champion. The latter has punched more people in the head than the former. Is the second group (far more punching performed overall) or the first group more preferred by you to walk by at 1 AM at night?

In the spirit of fairness, I will answer my question first. For me, I would actively avoid the first group and not be concerned by the second group.
I killed FB in 2019 and Twitter in 2020.

No regrets, I am a bit out of sync with the mainstream, but when the mainstream is all about the "outrage of the day", it might actually be a net positive.

When it comes to social contacts, my life has reverted to the 1990s standard: if you don't meet somebody in meatspace, you slowly forget about that person existing. Not totally, but "out of sight, out of mind" works.

> The jackpot accumulates. It grew so high because there are many weeks worth of 75 cents. It's an average. Most weeks 0 cents goes to the jackpot because nobody wins, so on the weeks somebody wins, it's often significantly more than 75 cents.

This sentence does not compute. If nobody wins for a week then however many tickets that were sold times 75 cents get added to the jackpot. If somebody wins, the jackpot is reset to $0.

> This is obvious because they're selling $400 million worth of tickets to a $1B jackpot.

$400M this week? Because they should have sold about 1.33 billion $2 tickets without a winner to reach a $1B jackpot, however many weeks that takes.

Fast forward to today and I only see Facebook as a place for the loonies of this world.I've tried to browse it a bit a couple of months ago using my wife's account. The whole spectrum of conspiracy theorists and useful idiots on any subject. Granted, not everyone's like that, but the crowd sentiment is huge.
I also got very annoyed that my daughter's nursery uses FB group to discuss day to day stuff & had one software product where the whole support community was based on Facebook.
All in all I feel I made a good decision to quit it.
I would say yes. If you're writing that YML by hand, and that YML doesn't have extensions that provides control-flow (e.g. CloudFormation's if syntax), then you're writing something declarative. If you're using an imperative language, and you're using control-flow, then you're using that tool in an imperative way.

It doesn't make sense to define the attributes of a tool by its artifacts. If we applied that logic across the board then Haskell isn't a purely functional language because it eventually gets compiled to machine code which is imperative.

What matters is the source, not the artifact. In the case of Pulumi you are using imperative languages, so Pulumi is effectively imperative, although it can technically be considered declarative when you consider the Pulumi runtime. If Pulumi had support for a declarative language, then I would consider it a declarative tool.
You can do many things but if the source is external or material it can vanish at any time.
Kind of reminds of the days of Yahoo! Toolbar and friends. I think today we have several ways we can go about this. There are browser extensions that can be used to both complement and alter the behavior of a website. Extensions can interact with the OS and other apps on a system which offers a lot of potential for integrations and customization. (e.g., on iOS/macOS, Shortcuts allow integrations with 3rd party apps, AppleScript, PowerShell (on Windows), etc.)
That's not security. That's submission.
It was a little frustrating the last time I wrote a Tampermonkey script, mostly because React is being used on the site and I had to find some algorithms to traverse the state being stored in the React Fiber required some DOM traversal and knowing about the inner workings of React to figure out things like the Download URLs I needed for my script to work. Basically I had a list of files that I own on their site and wanted a "download all" button, so I made one.

It added a substantial amount of complexity but it wasn't insurmountable. The scripts he talks about sound like there's stuff I'd have to sub in a shell script or use a two stage process to do, as there is some post-download processing I'd like to do automatically, but there's no way for me to access my OS from the sandbox of Firefox (I mean, for good reason, although it would be nice if I could override that in some cases)
By requiring non-cyclic data structures or provide "weak" references. It's actually pretty easy to write most code without cycles. I program a lot in Nim and generally compile lots of programs with ARC and no cycle collector without issue.
I still have it but rarely login and have unfollowed most “friends”. I don’t belong to any groups or anything, so it’s pretty boring. The main issue is the same messenger. Occasionally I get a message which I only see after a month or two, because I can’t seem to appear as “I don’t use this” mode. My wife asks me to keep the account so that a) her married status goes somewhere b) in case she needs to share something. I rarely see any posts to be fair and she will keep me updated on any relevant things happening. I don’t need to check for myself. I have a personal feed curator ;)

Had a few instagram accounts and deleted them all now as it just got boring after a while and nothing much of value. I had an account to enter competitions but with each one being “tag 4 friends” it was difficult as I generally just followed companies or people I didn’t feel like I could tag.

Had a twitter for a while but it became too much work trying to keep up with all the posts and eventually also tired of the same old content.

I use WhatsApp because of the network effect, as well as signal for another group of friends.

Never quite got mastodon or others of that ilk either as no one I know or wanted to follow is on those.

LinkedIn also had zero value and I ended up getting “friend requests” from my mum who I know doesn’t have an account. The dark patterns like this were enough for me to shut the door on that too.

People always complain why they can’t contact me on Facebook etc. I say you can call me, email me, WhatsApp, signal, SMS, or write me a letter. That should suffice. Really.
IMHO, we need a browser optimized for power or professional user experience (PPUX), instead of browsers optimized for dumb users (DUX).
Some people have a blasé attitude towards shoplifting/shoplifters: "Why are you defending rich companies?" This assumes that the company just eats the loss. How much of those shoplifting losses are passed onto your average consumer I wonder? If shoplifting is subsidized by everyone else, does this relationship make it an unofficial social program?
I just briefly skimmed the docs, so my observations may be inaccurate, but I got the impression that "stackful coroutines" are basically green threads (not C++20 coroutines, as the name might hint). Green threads need a dedicated stack per thread, with all that implies, and also I don't find the cute "magical" implicit yielding helpful readability- and comprehension-wise, but that's more a matter of taste.

It is either telling or a glaring oversight (let's assume the latter) that there is no comparison with Seastar, which supports both C++20 coroutines and callbacks, with helpful syntax sugar for latter (coroutines are still nicer though!), has green threads too (which it calls "threads"), and can use io_uring, dpdk, etc. Seastar is free, actively developed, and is used by real software with demanding performance and scaling requirements, so in light of Seastar existing I'd expect any new C++ async framework to approach the task of "selling" itself more seriously than "it's like Go or Python but in C++!".
Could not disagree more with this take. Multiplication of fractions is simply the division of two whole number multiplications. Which, if you are teaching fractions, division has already been taught. Seems like a contrarian take for the sake of being contrarian rather than based on pedagogy. Glad he wasn’t my teacher as he would have confused me.

> Function calls (present in C and other structured, procedural, and OO paradigm languages which are also imperative) do not make a language declarative.

“Declarative” and “imperative” are not really features of languages in the first place. They are features of code (and coding paradigms), and you can write code of either style (and usually most paradigms) in almost any real-world, Turing-complete, higher-level-than-assembly language.

The specific replacement of an imperative loop with a map call you made the non-sequitur response about function calls to upthread however, made the code it was in more declarative, though, and is typical of the ways that the functional paradigm (where map is typically the idiomatic way to do that) is more declarative than the structured/procedural paradigm (where building up a collection in an imperative loop would be.)
Sorting integers, floats and strings are surely some of the most widely used ways of sorting? You have some table-like thing, you want to sort it by some numeric column or alphabetically by some string column. Sorting some generic structure is surely the edge case, and even when you do that, surely the most common case is to compare one or two structure fields which are either ints, floats or strings.

In languages which try to be efficient, surely an expensive compare function is the outlier.

free() calls that have to run for a data-dependent amount of time are more or less equivalent to GC pauses (assuming a concurrent GC that doesn't need to stop the world, like Java's). The most typical example is free()-ing a a linked list, which takes O(n) free() calls to free with a simple RC mechanism.
What a weird article.

In places with net metering, it doesn't matter when you use it.

In places (like CA, under NEM2.0), where you get credits proportional to when you generate, you're still better off charging your car at night because you're getting multiplier effect when you generate during peak hours and consume at off-peak hours.

Everyone says to buy a bigger system than you think you'll need because your consumption goes up slowly over time. We're a net consumer despite our solar. I've gotta say, having solar has done something of the opposite to me. It's made it clear that the power you generate is not really yours; if you're grid-tied, the more you get into the minutia of what you make when you generate, what you're charged when you consume, grid interconnection fees, tiering, lack of grid sync when the grid is down, etc, the more it becomes clear that owning rooftop solar is NOT generating your own power for your own use, it's merely an arbitrage scheme where you're really trading your rooftop real estate for cheaper power.
