> Put another way, is it better to be a ultra pragmatic could-care-less hacker or an opinionated craftsman.

Is that really put another way? You can't swap out generalist for careless hacker and specialist for craftsman, they don't mean the same things.

You're also attaching it to people's identities which doesn't make sense to me. A better question is - when is it okay to be sloppy in order to get something done and when should you take your time and pay more attention to all the details. << that way it can be the same person who is sometimes making some tradeoffs to meet a deadline and sometimes moving slower and thinking about long-term consequences, instead of someone always carrying the label "quick generalist" or "opinionated craftsman" or whatever.
The GDPR became enforceable beginning 25 May 2018, but most EU media did not comply with it until recently. Some now even try to pretend they comply when they do not.

Yet in France major media such as "lesechos.fr" or "lefigaro.fr" did not comply with it until a few month ago. At least they now present a good information to the user.

In Germany, "dw.com" present a much simplified GDPR message stating:

"We use cookies to improve our service for you. You can find more information in our data protection declaration. More info OK"

With "der spiegel" the message is there, but after this one, which hints that you have little choice:

"Continue reading with ads

Interesting. But why did you make a point of telling us you eye color? Quite an insight into your thought process actually.
Fair enough and props to Stability for giving people the benefit of the doubt, not to mention actually open sourcing almost all of their work, unlike other "open" projects. Speaking of which, Dall-E bans a decent chunk of the English dictionary in the hopes of preventing people from generating anything even remotely offensive, which can be somewhat frustrating.
The more you realize that for Japanese society, it's been the same as how it was since a long time. Zaibatus/Keiretsu is just a modern evolution of feudal era Daimyo/Samurai. As a rule of of thumb, they're trying to good for the masses but indeed they are (benevolent) dictator in some ways.
I believe at least part of the reason is highlighted in the article:

> Most of my sense of accomplishment came from navigating the steep curve of learning how to drive a stick shift with my dad at my side—it’s not something you master overnight.

I've noticed, in general, when people have invested significant effort into developing a skill they are reluctant to let it go. This happens a lot in programming too.
Why are not the two comparatively huge browsers (at least to Tor and Brave!) Edge or Safari covered in the "Learn more" section? How do these compare to Chrome. I feel like they are obliged to cover them if they put them in the other "less respecting" list.
Yeah, nobody is forced to do anything, but humans are weird social creatures and feel pressure to do certain things even when not externally forced. If people were just doing a robotic cost/benefit trade off then this wouldn't really be an issue, instead both sides get a bit emotionally invested in it.
Now if you could make a startup that makes call center workers not dumb, that would be groundbreaking.
Due to the pain that concurrency is in Python, the codebases I've seen mostly shared data only via external processes (queues, databases).

I was very surprised to read the article. I think in the code I have in mind the borrow checker would only add overhead.

The most frequent errors I see in the Python webapp code are: 1. logic errors, especially around concurrent DB transactions, 2. type errors (missing values, improperly modeled data), 3. performance problems.
I currently use a (automatic) borrowed car from the shop while my (manual) car is being repaired. I mostly do city-driving.

One of the biggest issues with the automatic is stop-and-go traffic. It's absolutely trash at accelerating smoothly but fast, and I have no choice but to either go very slowly forward to not make it janky, or really aggressive acceleration. With a manual car, smooth-but-fast acceleration is easy to achieve, but with this (Audi Q3) borrow car, it seems short of impossible to achieve.

More pet-peeves of automatic VS manual I'm experiencing are outlined here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32591426 but smooth city driving is probably what I miss the most currently, as that is mostly how I spend my driving.
The vast bulk of the Porsches is sold with automatic transmission.

https://www.topgear.com/car-news/supercars/how-many-people-a...

It's basically 'daily driver' versus 'enthusiast' or 'track car' now even for cars in that bracket.

One big advantage in the second hand market is that if you look for an automatic you can be fairly sure that the engine won't have been overrevved. (The engine computer registers this and if you read it out you can see how long and how often it was overrevved, for stick shift cars this isn't unusual at all, on automatics it just doesn't happen.)
They probably meant compiling Rust to WASM, not comparing WASM vs native code which is a choice you would make separately to the programming language.
I am bristling a bit at the suggestion that split finances lead to divorce. I honestly don’t think it changes anything fundamental. You either agree on your priorities and approach to life and finances, and therefore spend your money in a roughly compatible way automatically, or you don’t. Keeping money in one pot does not automatically align or keep you aligned. It’s either a problem or it’s not. Doesn’t matter where you put it.

In my relationship, we avoid force or ways to control the other person. It’s a voluntary relationship. Love is the glue, not a shared bank account or financial dependence.
My cellphone is on silent most of the day. During work I only look at it for some 2FA things.
The main part of the browser is its main developer. In this case it is Google. If Google decides to add QUIC support to the browser it will appear in all of the clones too, because they are not standalone. If Google decides to move to the Manifest V3 then all closes will move to it too. Whatever Google decides to implement deep in the Chrome browser, other will have no choice but to accept.

> the list of abandoned open source projects because the maintainers burned out is I think a lot longer than the list of projects that ended because low quality complaints were ignored.

The list is the same, because a healthy project grooms people to take over if you're burning out.
If paying the maintainer is not possible, you can always pay some third party or hire more people internally to maintain the required libraries. If the company chooses not to pay anyone, it's a risk they brought upon themselves.
The military talks about 'embracing the suck'. Some people like to trace this focus on work and the grind to the US's puritan roots.

I think learning to be ok with the grind is one of the biggest life hacks a person can make. Whether it's eating healthy, exercise, or shipping your startups first product, there comes a point where it's grind - almost every single time.

There is a danger of falling in love with the grind and losing sight of why. As long as a person keeps sight of a goal, grinding is skill to help get them there.

Accepting the grind is a skill can be developed. Carmack talks about wrestling and then grappling which is an absolute grind. I developed the skill through sports and powerlifting, and now I also train Jiu-Jitsu. There's very little at work that moves my emotional needle anymore.
"paying upstream" is fine for little independent open-source projects, but for the big popular dependencies it doesn't actually work. You can't just pay Google to work on Android/Chrome, or pay Facebook to make changes to React...
In terms of human hours used, it's possibly one of the more expensive education programs ever mandated by a government. And I haven't seen any evidence that it's actually moving corps to minimize their PII usage, since they don't pay the cost in time of having to read the banners.
Manuals are also quicker to go from a standstill than automatics. All automatics I've driven have a noticeable lag and don't inspire much confidence. This is important because we have a lot of roundabouts and it makes it much easier if you are confident about taking a small gap to get on to the roundabout. It doesn't matter at all with traffic lights which are more prevalent in the US.
"dirtwork" construction. Get yerself an excavator, dumptruck, and trailer. The "swimming pool digger" kit. Then hire out to do all the jobs that that set of gear can do, which is a lot. Most of the work involved will be operating the equipment, which is not killing hard but not sedentary, and every job will be different enough to engage your brain.
Yeah, I do a lot driving in Spain and surrounding countries (Portugal, Italy and France mainly), sometimes with my own car (manual) and sometimes with rentals. I prefer manual but it's getting really hard to even find rentals that are manual. In the few cases they advertise a model as manual, it's a 50/50 chance the car is actually automatic when you come to pick up the model, and when you request to change it to whatever model that has model, they tell you they don't even have any manual cars anymore.
> But that was the promise and hope.

There was no promise, no sign of this ever happening, and no chance of it ever doing so.

There is no economic model that makes sense for it - music is licensed collectively because the economic cost of producing music doesn't vary that dramatically (and the difference has shrunk dramatically since the advent of Spotify et al). That's not true for AV, nor would it ever become so.
Matt also did the part about focus (between the projector lens and the fresnel lenses) but ok, I guess it is an important distinction that you made.
I use this for people that get easily carsick, it allows me to pull away in 2nd gear rather than first and that means fewer gearshifts and more smooth starting. It's not super good for the clutch but it certainly beats cleaning up...
As others have said, the decline is much too rapid in the last couple of decades for it to be explained by evolution. It sounds more like a theory spouted by chemical-/food-/etc companies who worry about getting the blame.
Information warfare is pretty dangerous too!
> "My understanding is that naturally twins are a rare phenomenon, but much more likely if doing something like in vitro or artificial insemination?"

There are various factors that increase the chances of having fraternal (non-identical) twins. Genetics (a women who is a twin herself is more likely to have twins), age (older women are more likely to have twins), and, of course, fertility drugs which stimulate ovulation can result in more eggs being released and thus more likely to produce twins.

Identical twins, on the other hand, are a natural phenomenon that occurs in about 1 in 250 pregnancies. There are no known factors that increase the chances of identical twins.
>What I'm saying is that there is a point where improving your website when it's already better than competing websites stops giving you enough value to be worthwhile.

There's indeed a point where optimizations stop yielding meaningful results, but it is certainly not connected to the performance of competitor websites. As soon as an user lands on your website, only its own performance and accessibility matters and positive ROI can still be achieved well beyond the point when your start doing better than competition.

Where did you get this idea about competing websites from?
> in addition of the game you purchased, which might have its own stipulations

Since I don’t see any additional agreements when I buy/play the game on steam it seems unlikely there is one.

It seems the steam license agreement only allows you to make non-commercial use of paid games. I can imagine that Nvidia just didn’t want to go into the battle of whether pre-installing steam content that (other) users have already paid for constitutes a violation of that provision.
In my experience, the same people who have "live love laugh" signs have this framed somewhere, but think it's medieval wisdom or something.
I really don't understand OSS maintainers that encourage or require people to fix or change things themselves. For a small patch the work of ensuring that the work of a new contributor is good enough is easily greater than just writing the patch yourself. And the time the contributor spent is likely much more.

Give me someone who does enough work that they get well acquainted with the code, or none at all.
You’re allowed to run your project any way you want to achieve your goals.

But I think the post still applies. If I use your project, it’s up to me to communicate bugs clearly and in a manner useful to yourself if I want a chance of getting it fixed. Otherwise, I shouldn’t expect anything or go and do it myself.

Cars are terrible platforms for anonymity. Car is registered, you're registered, hard to swap cars, you travel as a large, predictable discrete block down the road, etc.

The bandwidth used for single images is dwarfed... massively by streaming video content... I don't think it's a use case that is worthy of excessive time/effort to optimize for size because of bandwidth cost/effects.

edit: I'm not saying don't do it if you can get away with a smaller image dimension, or do basic optimizations... but if your concern is the environmental impact from a simgle high-resolution image from a photography site, you're putting the emphasis in the wrong place.

These movies are nice but when I watch them, I have the feeling that I am not truly a man because a man has no time to watch children movies ...

Therefore to avoid that my self-image takes a hit I do not watch them anymore.
this. As a dev, this is not your problem. If you had a dependency forced on you, and that dependency has issues that the maintainers are not willing to deal with, then escalate the problem to your manager.

Of course, if you included a dependency because you thought it was a good idea, and it turns out to not be a good idea, then that's a different problem. You'll have to let management know that you'll need some time to refactor the code to remove the dependency. That could be a difficult conversation, but the answer is still not "hassle the maintainer to fix my problem"
I'm now imagining this ancient grandma writing 125 MB/s into her pirated text editor, just cranking out volume after volume of cheap detective and romance novels. Later, after her death, it is discovered that this lady was the ghostwriter behind all of the top 50 bestsellers of the last 30 years. She would write faster too, if it weren't for that crappy SSD her grandchildren set her up with.
>I have the feeling that I am not truly a man because a man has no time to watch children movies

Paradoxically that's a very childish thought.

4-member family house rent/buy ratio in Korea is really high because of its unique Jeonse system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeonse Nobody rents 4 member family house because rent is more than mortgage.

On the other hand, bachelor studio is rather cheap even in the downtown Seoul(like 1k USD per month at most)

Jeonse system is unique in Korea and it really weird. It took me a few years to understand it and it shouldn't really work anymore because the housing price has stabilized in last 4 decades or so.

The point being, any of these commentors here who haven't heard of Jeonse, they don't know anything about housing in South Korea.
I trhink it's more complicated than that (IANAL). Isn't it most common to make such a settlement offer "without prejudice"? Then the fact that offer was made can't be brought up in court, so it can't affect the costs ruling.
A Review of PostmarketOS on the Xiaomi Poco F1
Just finished "Stolen Focus" and it has a whole chapter on how lack of free play and helicopter parenting completely destroys a child's ability to thrive and focus. What we are doing to kids is criminal, and it's getting worse. Solution? Just give them some pills. We are destroying a whole generation, and their brains are already mush from social media.
Surely this depends on your goals?

If you are an OSS maintainer who wants to build a succesful project used by a lot of people and companies and that has much mindshare, etc. etc. then yes, you will need to evaluate people's opinions, listen to them, and decide when it's in your interest to fix something or change the design or whatever. Because then keeping people interested in and using your project and in fact growing their numbers is your goal, so obviously you will need to attract and work with them.

If you released some code you wrote that was useful to you and sometimes update it or fix it for others because the fix is easy or helps you too or you just feel nice, then the calculation might look a bit different.

Most of those tests are generated. It's wrong to focus on this metric IMO.
That's true. I'm saying there should be a discussion and a positive attitude.

At the end of the day there might be toxic problems where someone will get pushed out. But I think these are things we as maintainers should feel bad about. It happened to me once and I feel sad that I wasn't able to resolve those problems. OP seems to be flaunting/celebrating what to me seems like a failure to communicate and build the community.

I have been here for a while, in the earliest days of the gig there was a mini-rush of startups to Chatt. Low cost of living, relatively small/quiet city, access to basically all major southern cities (barring southern Florida) by either a quick flight or couple hour drive… makes sense that it just works out nicely.

I live about 20mi out from town, in a relatively rural area, and we still get excellent 1Gbps here. They wired as many drops as I asked for when we built here. It’s like a dream for a remote worker.

The city still has presence from some startups (I’m a bit out of the loop on who all is here), and I’ve known quite a few remote engineers who have lived in the area as well. Not sure how much this differs from an alternate universe where Comcast rules the land.

EPB is excellent all around. Service is incredibly consistent, it’s a bill I happily pay every month.

An Unfair World-The System is rigged
We live in an unfair world where a few folks control the majority of wealth while the majority toil as hard as possible for a basic subsistence. The funny part is most don't ever realise they are nothing less than foot soldiers that the proponents of capitalism are using to benefit a few folks at the top of the food chain. The economic equality that we tend to see across the globe is actually deliberately created because greed is difficult to deal with for a few folks at the top. What's even more surprising is that it's been clouded and shielded from most of the folks who don't see anything beyond their mundane lives. Read my blog to know more
