One reaponse is to say “life is happier without this news” but we can’t all be ignorant all the time and for better or worse the social media conversation does reflexively influence the broader social norms and conversation. I try to remind myself sitting on twitter being angry is MOSTLY a waste of my time, but just because social media is optimized to produce moral outrage, doesn’t mean morally outrageous things aren’t happening.
That's true for information transmission, like what happens in wires, but as I understand it, switching in semiconductor diodes, transistors, and vacuum tubes actually requires the electrons to move in and out of depletion zones (or the vacuum). Switching in relays or pneumatic valves requires moving solid assemblages of atoms around instead. That's why it's slower, even though the drift velocity in the wires connected to a relay is the same as in the wires connected to a transistor.

Well, first you join HN, :) but after that:

1. If you're into in-person, there's groups for startups and particular tech topics (like a programming language), on meetup.com and elsewhere. Just Web search for your city and the topic. Also, some universities will post calendars of talks that are open to the public (and some departments will have their own calendars that have more things than the main university calendar does).

2. For online activity throughout the day (but which you can turn off), there's online chats for various tech topics. Some of these turn into long-term online socializing (sometimes with a forked channel, so the public topic one remains, but some people also off in the one where everyone is familiar and generally talk about other things).
You can add your user to the docker group, which does require sudo, but only once.

How much would it cost if the river diverted? Would a huge part of Louisiana need to be geo-engineered to restore the literal bloodflow of US trade (in the East)? There would be dozens of states that would be hosed economically if the Mississippi entrance were to be blocked.
I very frequently open the wrong Google app on my phone because they're too similar. I can't even begin to count the number of times I've gotten Photos when I wanted Maps or vice versa. I sometimes hit Slack when I'm aiming for one of the other two.

Jackson is 1/3rd the size of New York City (114 sq. mi. vs 302 sq. mi.).

Yet Shockley was able to make quantitative predictions about, say, solar cell performance that are still considered useful today. And I don't think kT shows up en the Ebers–Moll model just by chance.
It's a somewhat unusual arrangement though, to have a division of the armed forces perform essentially civilian functions, isn't it?

Maybe not globally – gendarmerie come to mind – but certainly in the English-speaking world?
Almost certainly yes (and one could similarly make a good argument for federalizing a lot of our services).

However, having services run by larger jurisdictions is directly at odds with the American need to ensure that the "haves" have distinctly better living conditions than the "have nots," and so this is a political non-starter. Put another way: poor services (such as healthcare, schools, and even potable water) are a design feature, not a bug, of American civics.

Are you complaining about "Scheme" or "Common Lisp"?

Scheme has longer-function-names than Common Lisp.

Also Scheme use a more functional style and skip the intermediate variables. Sometimes the name of the intermediate variables are like self documentation and make the code easier to read.
I joined some Discord servers for maps, webgl (I'm building a mapping application) and I created one of my own. This has mostly filled the workplace Slack void. I hop in there or mute it whenever the mood strikes.

I answer some questions on StackOverflow to fill the void of mentoring in my past jobs.

I work from coffee shops or WeWork to have the opportunity for random small talk with strangers.

I do a few running clubs, pickup soccer games or hikes from Meetup to meet and talk with new people.

I try to read and reply to comments on Hacker News.

This mostly fills my socializing needs, but I also live with my girlfriend and we're semi introverted so it might not be enough for people who lean more extrovert.

The remote server provides backup and sync in a convenient format which will lead to more people using password managers.

When it's down you only need to lose backup and sync.

Refusing to unlock your local database because it made some check on the backup and sync server is precisely remote disabling and is a great reason to transition off of bitwarden as it is a pretty good sign of them testing the waters for vendor lockin.

I've been using silent reds since they first came out and recently have started using speed silvers. They really are great. Capital G Gamers don't know what they have. All of the reviews I've read involve mental gymnastics to explain how a higher actuation point doesn't actually reduce response time. This is a product that a sane market would love. Instead what really sells is colored LEDs.
Aren’t most cities also part of a county in the US, and therefore include the suburbs? I was under the impression that where I live, Richmond, Virginia, is somewhat unique how the city is totally independent.
The True Story of Lee Kuan Yew’s Singapore (2020)
The problem is that there has been over a century and a half of histrionic propaganda within the United States asserting that government can’t do anything right, government and regulation are the root of all societal problems, the only proper role for government is to preserve property rights, and so on, starting around the late 1840s for some reason.

So there have been multiple generations of Americans who have marinated in this their entire lives, resulting in large populations who assume more local control is always better, people only deserve what they can afford themselves individually, and so on—and entire societal systems built atop the ensuing systematic deprivation.

At the same time, there’s also an almost North Korean degree of jingoistic “we’re the pinnacle of human achievement” nationalism so any change to the status quo is opposed even by those who would directly benefit because they don’t really believe it’s possible for things to be any better. After all, if they could be, they would be, because We’re The Best! So if things are bad, well, they’re worse everywhere else so quit complaining.

This is why Americans get such culture shock going elsewhere in the world. They see that others can actually have a society that’s just as good or better, and they have to figure out how to integrate that into their worldview.

TL;DR: Many things in the US stay as bad as they do because multiple generations have been brainwashed into thinking they’re the best they can be.

I've noticed that pattern as well. You put it into words nicely.
Yes, I've also struggled to pause many disagreements just to clarify terms, ironically because the other person didn't get what I was doing since there is no common word for this sort of disagreement.

If anyone has a good one, please chime in.
This is the key observation: these kinds of profound utility failures only happen in municipalities where the wealthy have removed themselves from the tax base. This comes in innumerable forms, but one of the most common is building their own little (unsustainable) suburban enclaves beyond the political borders of the cities they draw their salaries from.
A biased expert is perhaps worse than an unbiased non-expert. The expert knows where the bodies are buried, so to speak. He can make all the arguments for one side and frame an issue to favor his desired outcome.

Even if he's not doing so maliciously, bias can lead someone to convince himself that he is right/righteous.
> Consider all those hundreds of thousands of people that tramp thousands of miles just for a chance to get into the US? What do they know that you don't, or are they just fools?

This feels like a strawman, but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that it’s asked sincerely. Nothing I said was intended to suggest that the disparity across borders wouldn’t justify their journey. Many making that journey certainly do know something I do not, and I wouldn’t call anyone a fool for it. I’d add that my own response to myself below might better address this than the comment you’re responding to.

> Why is there not an exodus of hundreds of thousands of poor Americans tramping to other countries?

Last I checked, more people cross the southern US border to emigrate out of the US in recent years. Not sure what the numbers are, not going to dig them up to win at being right, I just think it bears mentioning that people migrate for a wide variety of reasons and I’ll leave it at that.

> Much of that occurred long before government social programs, high taxes, unions, anti-trust, etc. Take a look at things like height statistics for Americans throughout the 19th century. Height statistics are a good proxy for standard of living - people don't grow tall if they are malnourished as children.

Alright, I’ll grant that people got taller around the same time they were likely to die in factory fires. I won’t grant that being taller is an aspiration I care about as much as not dying in factory fires.

> Amazon has scores of millions of customers. They wouldn't be shopping at Amazon if Amazon was cheating them.

> Amazon turnover is such that the average employee works less than a year. This is incongruent with being forced to work there at subhuman conditions.

I’m not going to bother responding to these paragraphs, because I don’t understand your reasoning, other than I don’t think they say what I think you think they say.

Ssshhh. Nobody is supposed to know about either of those things :)
The argument presented by strongtowns is that suburban sprawl and associated infrastructure is a ticking time bomb financially, because federal dollars fund the construction, but localities are responsible for upkeep and eventual replacement.

... which they can't keep up on. So in 20-40 years, the water supply and roads and other infrastructure decline without any means for replacement.

Sure, perhaps with intelligent setting aside of funds, localities could handle it, but that kind of long term thinking is really hard to expect to happen across all local governments without some sort of federal mandate. Plus, there is always a hidden assumption that you let things get bad and wait for a federal bailout. In some ways, some dramatic crisis like this is exactly as planned.

Finally, we are talking about Mississippi. The South is unquestionably more corrupt at the local and state levels, going back to the reconstruction and post reconstruction eras after the civil war and the intense entrenched racism.

All you really need to do is look at how the South collects more federal aid than blue states, yet Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi routinely rank in the bottom ten for public education by states. Their universities are noteworthy for SEC football and little else.

Things are compounded by the fact that these are frankly really really poor states. It is a bit unfair to cast them as horribly corrupt when Illinois and New York also aren't exactly poster children. BUT, Louisiana/Alabama/Mississippi don't have floods of northerners enriching them like Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina. People do go to New Orleans for tourism, but that's about it, and I'd posit that New Orleans likely still has not recovered from Hurricane Katrina.

Finally, politically these states are owned by vehemently far right anti-government Republicans, and have been for decades. They are all horrendously gerrymandered, so reform is basically impossible. As California shows, when any party has long term control of a government, corruption and incompetence results, and it's only worse when one of the pillars of your party is to hate the government you run. Which gives full license to corruption.
> Reference counting is deterministic and safe, but not as performant.

Not as performant in a theoretical model with unlimited memory that all costs the same to access. ie it’s not actually faster in practice when peak memory matters and swap exists.

You sound like a rent seeker who, you know, is seeking for more rent.

I urge you to think of the people and not only of your investment portfolio. A lot of good honest people out there are periodically told they are not doing enough while they have been on the brink for years.

Would you want that for your parents? Would you want increased stock profits on the back of millions of families?
It holds up fine if you think about it for like two seconds. It's only possible to purchase Ferraris in San Fran, no other cheaper kind of vehicle is available. So a lot of people have no vehicle at all.

Speaking as the OP, I'd agree with what you've said.

I'd also argue that @xwdv's comment implies that I'm destined to be a wage slave whether I climb the ladder or not.
Nix doesn't use most of C++ features though. It's just the way project was organized and code was formatted that it looked beautiful and easy to skim through.
To me Plate Up seems probably as similar to Overcooked as Mafia is to GTA (maybe even less similar, actually). Yeah both are sort of about a similar thing with a similar third-person view but after that similarities end. If you don't care about a genre all games in it are the same to you.

Definitely no need to be discouraged if a game you want to make already exists, but "same game with different polish" is not the case with games in question...
I don't know why you say that in past tense. They still do.
Those are not provided by GNU grep, they are an Arch thing (could exist on other distros as well, I'm not sure). The scripts are hand-written for keeping the support with older scripts.

I imagine Arch is not using GNU's egrep and fgrep anymore because of the deprecation.

This also answer the question on why is not necessary to GNU to maintain those different commands. Distros can easily shim them to grep if they want to, similar to how a lot of them already link /bin/sh to bash

I find your comment amusing considering:

1. You just wrote 5 paragraphs of anecdotes.

2. Bourbaki Elements of Mathematics is the driest book you can think about. It’s mostly formal definitions and extremely rigorous demonstrations.

Your snide costs you a lot of credibility at least as far as I’m concerned.

It's not about the why, it's about the fact that because it's possible, the language has to allow for it.

Unless I'm mistaken (and please correct me if I am), no Python linter can address the fact that

`y = myVoriable + 3`

... is valid Python code because there's no way to know a-priori that `myVoriable` isn't a valid global variable, even though human inspection makes it obvious that it's a typo on `myVariable`. For that reason, there's a practical limit on how much static error checking Python allows as per the design of the language.

Has this been changed in the past decade? If so, I should give this language another chance.
I went solo about 2.5 years ago and Twitter has surprisingly filled that gap for me. I ruthlessly prune the folks I’m following which makes me enjoy the space way more than if I followed a ton of folks. The relationships go so far as to meeting IRL with a bunch of them at a recent conference.
I don’t think that your first sentence has anything to do with the rest of them.
Why should GNU maintain 3 different command profiles on their own? If is really necessary or useful distros can easily shim them to a grep wrapper if they want to
So I don't necessarily want to get too far into this because this is HN and religious discussion kind of doesn't belong here... But let me say very briefly that if someone calls themselves a Christian but mocks you for not having children, then in the selfsame breath they are mocking every modern Catholic priest; most monks, nuns, and hermits; the guy who wrote half of the New Testament; and yes, even Jesus himself. So that the community as a whole is open to New Life and that each individual person feels like they are not in a rush and could potentially parent children if that is the gift that they are called to, should never be mistaken for a requirement that each individual person must do whatever they can to have children.
I would disagree. The C++ parts were very terse and unreadable.

If you look closely at the Blender file in the example, you will see that some geometry elements in the Outliner feature a small icon that looks like a chain. This signifies that it is referencing (linking in Blender parlance) that geometry in other files. Linked files cannot be edited unless you round-trip to the original files. Max would not have this problem.

Sorry if I came off as anti-Blender, but I am anything but. I have written over 100 pages of open-access Blender related learning material and was responsible for moving our school (400 design students) from max and Maya to Blender. No one regrated this move, even those who have spent their entire creative lives in Autodesk's shadow. However, it was not without cost.

My top animator loves Blender, but says that its animation tools are not yet equal to those of Max/maya. And Max/maya can crease through files which Blender (currently) chokes on.
