Trade is capitalism. It's how we push forward. It's inevitable, but some people do hardcore roleplay that it's not. The world is worse for that.
Yet isn't this more due to control and oversight versus desire or location? Perhaps the options that are presented to them as "free" contain other entanglements that tips the scales towards camping?
e.g. some of the 'copper coated' stuff that is 'PFOA' free
To me many of these seem fairly focused on short term gains at potentially long term detriment. It seems Sam Gerstenzang has never stayed at a single company for much more than 2 years which is about the time frame when long term costs start to overcome short term gains in my experience. So not sure if this is the best advice unless you aim to bounce at the 2 year mark.
If your business only exists to shuffle money, then yes.

Why no more? I'm sure they could script it as part of their build process. Even PowerShell is bound to have an inbuilt get-md5 or get-sha function.
A CEO taking a day out of their schedule to shadow "an employee" makes for viewer counts on TV, but it can't give them any insight they can personally action on, and it can't give them the several different perspectives they need to properly action on without doing _lots_ of shadowing of various employees in various positions: so this is why there's a management and feedback structure. If there are things the CEO should learn, they should be able to rely on their executive team to bring that up.

If you're not a CEO, you can learn a lot from shadowing your CEO, without impacting the viability of your company. But if you're the CEO, all you can learn is "how something seems to work at a level you are not supposed to have control over." Unless your company has an incredibly flat org, without a board that the CEO is accountable to, and where the CEO is actually makes direct hiring, product, etc decisions, realistically having the CEO shadow employees means that they're not being the CEO. The larger the org, the more people they'd need to shadow to get meaningful insight, and the more the board will go "we need you to be the CEO of this multi-hundred-million dollar company, so if you want insights: you should already have a team in place for that."
Hadn't heard of this one before. Tried it out. I think I found a keeper.
And I bet those apartments and homes carry roughly the same value/sqft...

The claim that housing is fungible is absolute non-sense, though.

If it were, we wouldn't see such drastic market variations, even within relatively close geographic markets (in some cases, literally blocks away)

We also wouldn't see such an intense pressure on evaluating real estate before purchasing (because if it was fungible - it's all the same, right?).

I basically don't know where to go in the conversation if you can't actually acknowledge the argument in front of you, and just say "No".
Some of us can change how we think, but big corporations and investment firms (and banks with investment divisions) are not going to adopt our way of thinking.

They are thinking of what to do with their piles of cash, and how to make their piles grow. They are absolutely not concerned about the wellbeing of individuals outside their own organizations/families.

This is basically the housing ownership version of the monopoly concept (and I don't specifically mean the game). There are, or were, laws to prevent companies from becoming monopolies. People (and governments) realized that once a company grows and consumes or blocks out all its competition, things eventually get very bad for the consumers/public.

There seem to be quite a few people on HN in the "regulation is bad" camp, but there are a lot of regulations such as the ones related to prevention of monopolies which are critically important. And now we see that there need to be similar regulations to prevent the equivalent in housing.

For this to naturally correct itself (and laws to become demanded by the people and written by the government) will take decades and likely some level of revolt. Maybe it will happen sooner than I think. It will be ironic if the camp that has been promoting gun ownership while simultaneously screwing its supporters becomes subject to forceful demands of its angry former followers. (Actually we see this right now in US politics when someone from "the good team" finally speaks out loud negatively about their great leader. The "good team" followers become immediately vicious and threatening. Perhaps once enough of those armed good old boys finally put their puzzles together and realize they've been fooled on a grand scale, we'll start to see some change.)
There's a line in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" where Bob Hoskins says (this was early 20th Century LA):

"Who's going to ride on your freeway when the Red Car costs a nickel?"
It adds too much visual noise for me, especially since you already need to double-quote the variables to protect against whitespace expansion. The rules around when braces are needed are simple so I leave them off when they aren't necessary. The rules around when double-quotes are needed are much more subtle, so I almost always use double-quotes, even when they aren't needed. e.g.

foo=$bar # quoting not needed but I'd still do this:
foo="$bar"

A bug-bear of mine is unquoted variables especially with braces, even when using them for optional args:

${TTY}

Using your original script as an example, I'd prefer this:

dc_exec=(docker-compose "${DC:-exec}")
dc_run=(docker-compose run)
if [[ ! -t ]]; then
# we have no TTY so we're probably running under CI
# which means we need to disable TTY docker allocation
dc_exec=("${dc_exec[@]}" --no-TTY)
dc_run=("${dc_run[@]}" --no-TTY)
fi

_dc() {
"${dc_exec[@]}" "$@"
}

_build_run_down() {
docker-compose build
"${dc_run[@]}" "$@"
docker-compose down
}

Of course, this uses bash arrays and isn't POSIX. But the ergonomics of using an array for construction a long command are so much nicer than backslashes or long lines that I use them all the time now.

cmd=(
/usr/bin/some-command
--option1="foo"
--option2="bar"
--option3="baz"
)
"${cmd[@]}"

I also prefer using self-documenting long-options like above when writing shell scripts.

Another thing that goes along with set -u is to fail early. So for example, your script seems to require global POSTGRES_USER, etc, so why not:

set -o nounset
# fail early on required variables
: "${POSTGRES_USER}"
: "${POSTGRES_PASSWORD}"

Happy to code-golf shell scripts. There's usually nothing but hostility toward them around here. :-)
Each tool has its own strengths and weaknesses. I have tried them all, including pans with aluminum cores but steel outer layers.

Cast iron is great for searing or for fried eggs or buttery scrambles.

I love my car on steel Matfer fry pan and try to use it as often as possible.

But for acidic or long simmering brown sauces that'll stick and tear off my seasoning, I'll probably teach for stainless steel. Afterward I'll scrape it down and it's good as new.

Nonstick has its purpose. One that I rediscovered recently is very low fat pan frying. Even though all my steel/iron pans are well seasoned, I still need more butter or avocado/grapeseed/coconut/etc oil when compared to cooking on a Teflon pan. If you are trying to cut calories, you'll need to count the additional cooking oil that goes into your carbon steel or cast iron dishes.

Yes, I am aware of the benefits of good fats in my diet. But sometimes you want to track or reduce total kcal consumption, e.g., if you are a weightlifter but aren't currently bulking. Reducing fat intake is the easiest lever, since you want to keep protein intake high, and want to limit carbs.

So yeah. Use the tool you enjoy using. I've seen Chef Jacques Pépin beat an omelette in a Teflon pan with a metal utensil, so who am I to judge???

Non-stick : JavaScript / Python

Cast Iron : C

Carbon Steel : Go

Stainless Steel : Java
Well said and interesting. Part of the problem with change is that there are always negative effects somewhere, but the answer should be to address those negative effects... not to postpone change until a mythical no-negative version is found.
So basically a commonsense policy which the entire world has trouble implementing but it should. Nice.
I read people's negative performance of FF comments, and I've just personally never experienced anything that makes me question if something is wrong. Then again, I don't use Chrome to do side-by-side comaprisons. I click a link, a page loads, I choose to read or not, and go on. That's pretty much all I expect my browser to do.
The maximum that renters are willing to pay is a function of the availability of cheaper alternatives, and a tax on rental units increases rents across the board and removes cheaper alternatives, increasing the amount that people are willing to pay. This is literal Econ 101, supply and demand curve stuff.
Of course there are alternative energy stores which have the capacity we need. What do you think we are using for energy storage now? Now we have huge piles of coal, natural gas stored in huge caverns, massive tank farms storing petroleum products. So the question is can we convert the electrical energy when wind and solar are at maximum output into gases, liquids, solids. The answer is yes. One obvious gas is hydrogen. And if the liquids and solids include carbon then to be carbon neutral we need to pull as much carbon out of the atmosphere as we will put back in (carbon capture technologies).

So it can be done. The problem is the higher cost than fossil fuels.

How does a rich land owner avoid paying a land tax? Or a tax on the value of his copyrights (which would be land)

Yes the middle class get shafted on things like income and capital gains based taxes, that's the great thing about a land value tax, it taxes the immovable land, not the movable person.
Exercise. Don't drink. Eat well. Skip news/media that adds nothing. Read vociferously. Get plenty of rest time. Appreciate the downtime because it's not downtime it's valuable reflection time. Doing several slow things at the same time works.

Examples: Walk to the subway, bus. Don't be in a hurry. When getting to the stop, take 3 or 4 minutes to chill and appreciate the sky, plants, whatever you have.

Wake up earlier so as not to be in a hurry. Eat satiably. Cook if you like. Cook a little more and take a packed lunch. Cook for loved ones. Take the stairs not the escalator. Read a book on the subway about something completely different than your 'jobs'. Listen to a quality podcast while doing morning stretching or abs.

Wish others a nice day. Being positive breeds positivity. Plan ahead minimising catch-up. Engage in office banter, do more. Always be the owner. Synergies happen in the funniest of places. Never feel guilty for reading around or into a subject more than's needed. Don't feel guilty for not knowing something. Give time generously. Take lots of breaks. Laugh vigorously when realising something was so simple. Take another break. Do not work a job that measures you on time. Drink plenty of water. Never forget what's most important for you.
I think you read too much between the lines! To me it says that you should only get as much as you need, not more, not less, and leave the rest for the others..
Yeah, this is just people overreacting to a minor defect as if it's some kind of wide-reaching ethical choice
Basically, yes. I work remotely, so I'm not a huge breakfast guy. I have a banana and yogurt on my desk as a quick breakfast right after I wake up and then start working.
What's the workflow for "I need to pass one argument to the linker" in the world where your build tool config doesn't even say which compiler it's invoking but your build fails with a bunch of linker errors?
> Sorry to be skeptical, but are the links affiliate links?

Err, why are you asking us that when you can simply look at the links yourself? (Since the very presence of your question could taint the author’s post, I will tell you - they’re not. Affiliate links contain a tag=xxxx parameter).

Writing a multi-paragraph rant based on an easily debunked suspicion isn’t a great idea.
This comment I made, and others in the thread, a while ago might shed some light on the subject: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27179677
You know I count that as a plus. I can't possibly go back to smoking, but enjoy it when others smoke, enjoy second-hand smoke, am a smoker sympathizer, have romantic memories of smoking, sometimes feel closeness to women while they smoke.

But don't smoke myself. I also think cigarette companies--especially American and British--should develop minimally-addictive cigarettes, like with no cadmium, and actually clean out the radiation from radium, which they're capable of but didn't decide to do. Just more freedom in the cigarette, the choice of whether to smoke or not for every single item in the pack. More choice.

Georgia sounds perfect.

Thank you for that point of view. Thinking as a customer here, the amount of times I didn’t buy a product because it was bad or in a state I would call incomplete is great indeed. Shipping something incomplete, broken or not up to task can kill a product well before it’s given a good chance. Only a few times I have given a product a chance if I saw some hope in it.

Yeah, it's a problem. By treating housing as an investment, any profit motivated entity becomes interested. Companies start buying and holding them like stocks or gold because it is an asset that reliably appreciates in value faster than inflation.

Meanwhile, average homeowners are practically required to consider their house as an investment as well. In an increasingly precarious society, owning a home is one of a few things that a middle class person can do that guarantees some financial stability. Homeowners are incentivized to support policies that drive up their home's value so that they can sell it later (and maybe have enough money for retirement). Some of these policies include supporting single family zoning (of which there is a shocking amount) and opposing affordable housing projects in their neighborhood.

When housing costs rise faster than wage growth, the barrier to breaking into home ownership becomes increasingly difficult. A class system of renters, home owners, and landlords is forming and becoming rigid.

Housing is not supposed to be a financial investment strategy.
If we are to assume that human rights are universal (the UN says so), premise two is invalid, as it is not universalizable.

Cocotte id a pan with a lid, usually in cast iron.

They can be small or big.

The French Wikipedia article is clearer than the English one : https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocotte_(cuisine)

Note that a pressure cooker is called a Cocotte minute. Because it cooks quickly.

Cocotte is also a term that can be used for chickens or chicks, but that has nothing to do with cooking utensils.
So to be clear, are rents in Paris vastly higher in general, or just for "high-end real estate"? If just the latter, then great, sounds like the policies are working.

No. It's fine that different technologies are used in different situations. The big problem is finding technologies which are cheaper than fossil fuels.
+++ This is so important and one of the hardest things for me. I discover that when you schedule for leisure, you are less likely to feel guilty about taking a break.
We don't generally speak in insults here.
Not really. According to the article, they have an energy density of 110 J/cm^3, or 30.5 Wh/L. Li-ion easily hits 400 Wh/L, with some already going to the 800s. Traditional lead-acid car batteries already hit 50-100 Wh/L. The weight story is probably going to be similar.

Capacitors like this are useful for short-term energy storage like regenerative braking, not as primary power store.
"We" as evolved social animals have pretty universally come to the agreement that humans should have a few basic necessities, such as food, water, shelter, (and less agreed but equally important) personal safety.

I could ask if you continuing to live is your human right.

I'm not sure there's any absolute decree that everyone can agree on that says you deserve to live. However, we evolved people tend to assume that every human deserves to continue living (at least until our differences become too great, at which time we sometimes just kill each other).

Therefore, your demand for proof that having shelter is a human right is bunk.
The point is that the statement “Asians value privacy less” doesn’t talk about “Asians” as a racial group, rather, it merely observes that for whatever historical/cultural/sociological reasons, a particular group of people, whom happen to live in a certain area of the globe, might be less predisposed to raise concerns about the privacy implications of their software engineering practices.

Thus the claim that the original comment was racist is false in my opinion.

Another argument against this claim would be the fact that Asian software engineers (here “Asian” is used in the racial sense) raised in Western countries with a strong culture of privacy, seem to be just as privacy conscious as their Caucasian counterparts.
You’re absolutely right about not even having to look. When my spotlight index gets corrupted and I command space, type “safari” or “tower” or “iterm” and then hit enter without thinking, it doesn’t find the app but then opens safari with a google search for whatever app. It is always jarring cuz I’m not paying attention to what matched, and instead it opens safari instead of the app window I expected.

To make things worse, I tried switching back to Alfred but it it seems to just piggyback off spotlight for finding apps.

Otherwise I would switch back to Alfred if it just had a “my index doesn’t get corrupted like spotlight” as a feature.
> There's no basic human right to have a roof over your head, for the simple reason that someone has to make the roof.

I guess someone has to provide food and security too. Would you say that these also are not basic human rights?

I agree that fusion is unlikely to be a cheap source of power, but I can see it being cheaper than fission because you need fewer safety measures if you don't have large amounts of highly radioactive material around.
And if your requisite level of demand isn't there then "coming soon" is a complete lie.

I suppose I would never want to start a business with a product that I didn't at least get some intrinsic benefit out of building. Worst case scenario I learn new skills that can be applied to future endeavors. Besides, if you solve a problem and no one is willing to pay for it, well at least the problem got solved. Maybe that tool will be useful later in some other context.

Plus I don't like relationships built on sand. Fake-it-till-you-make-it is to business what steroids/doping are to athletics. Sure maybe it's necessary at the Cutthroat-Business-Olympics where everyone's doing it and you won't win if you don't, but most businesses aren't playing at that level, and do the equivalent of taking Lance-Armstrong-Style blood transfusions to win their local bike club's weekend race.

Oh that’s super neat! Looks like a more elegant way to link Postgres and Elasticsearch:

“From a technical perspective, ZomboDB is a 100% native Postgres extension that implements Postgres' Index Access Method API. As a native Postgres index type, ZomboDB allows you to CREATE INDEX ... USING zombodb on your existing Postgres tables. At that point, ZomboDB takes over and fully manages the remote Elasticsearch index and guarantees transactionally-correct text-search query results.”

Landlords do not provide a service.

They take otherwise-purchasable properties off the market, then make money off preventing other people from owning them in perpetuity.

Some landlords also offer property management services, but that is a separate field entirely. It would be fairly easy for an apartment building to consist of entirely owner-occupied units, who could then join together in a co-op to either put individual local contractors on retainer for things like plumbing, electrical, and miscellaneous repair services, or find a one-stop-shop company to hire for it.
