I think it was Mencken that most popularly called this sort of thing sophomoric, and chastised "schoolma'ams" trying to impart conscious thought and logic into the unthinking that don't much care for what it is they're doing (e.g. writing, composing music, etc.).

I think using "very lazy" is quite fine. If you're not just simply lazy, but much more so -- yet fall short of *exceptionally* lazy: you are very lazy.

The same with very tired. If I'm exhausted, I will simply use exhausted. But if I don't feel exhausted, but simply very tired, then I feel I would be acting "puerile"[0] in trying to exaggerate my emotions to be something more than they really are. If I am exhausted, then I feel that I urgently need rest immediately; and if I'm tired, then perhaps I could do with some rest, but it can always wait; but then if I'm very tired, perhaps it means I'm somewhere between urgently needing rest and within my ability to put off rest? Some sort of in-between state? But how can that be: needing now or not needing rest now is binary -- there isn't any notable in-between there, like the cliche of "you're either pregnant or not" (but perhaps that too breaks down depending on our exactness of the definition of "pregnant." Is pregnancy determined as the exact moment the egg is fertilized or only when a woman's urine, a short time later, contains an elevated level of hCG?). In that case, then we could do away with "very tired." And if for some normal reason another person were to have different personal definitions for what they feel is their "tired" and "exhausted," then this would be reopened again, and we'd have to start again into another discussion.

I cannot find a fitting end to this carb-fueled rant. I've become self-conscious of all of the "technique" English teachers beat into me, and I really don't like it, and don't want to keep on writing. Run-on sentences: "cannot ever ever use those." Transition words: "they must be used liberally." Punctuation: "there is an agreed upon set of rules on how and when they should and shan't be used." Passive vs. active voice, prepositional placement, cliches, etc. "If you don't follow these rules and techniques, then you are simply a fool! We will learn you write good! Mark Twain's stylistic choices be damned."

I find I cannot enjoy writing, when the spectres of pedagogues long past haunt me at every sentence; and I am spending more and more time having to unlearn what was taught to me in school.

It's because our compassion evolved to respond to visual stimuli, not facts about sufferring.

We should be cautiously skeptical and analytical about these things. Otherwise we get paradoxes like the monstrosity of factory farms, the produce of which we use to feed our pets that we love. The end result is mass scale harm and suffering if we rely on gut moral instincts and don't use reason.

We already have the solutions. Use nuclear, use renewables, use carbon from the atmosphere and not the earth's crust. Really not that hard to figure out, but you'll notice no end to the supply of "wait but." They'll eat up science-y rubbish like reflecting sunlight because it sounds really clever, but then find any reason to ignore reality which, guess what, will always be more or less dirty. It's the siren song of the free lunch. Catch any one here on the street and ask them on the spot what they know about the carbon cycle and chances are they couldn't tell you anything about it, but they'll readily supply you an opinion on carbon emissions.
Ignoring the ethics and whether or not you agree... is it desperate or is it a tactical strategy?
Hacker News people being overly literal? Can't be.

Jesting aside, yes, I would echo this and a couple other comments: the point is to nudge yourself to think a bit more about diction, and spotting the word "very" is an easy trigger to do that.

Most replacements for very + something will be more precise, more evocative and just sound better. Of course, while more precise, they may be more inaccurate. You trade the shotgun of "very" for a sniper rifle, and that requires more careful aim.
I think the word "surprised" gets a lot of unfair implication added. (Usually in the format, "why are you surprised that..." or "you shouldn't be surprised that..."). "Surprise" just isn't as dramatic an emotion as people seem to imply. It's not like the word "shocked". I might be surprised that a one-in-five occurrence happens. It doesn't mean I had some kind of conviction that it wouldn't.
And we might end up reducing atmosphere humidity and having torrential rain.

I first thought about different warning that GNU grep >= 3.8 emits: about "stray \" (it's also in the changelog - https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2022-09/msg00001...). I have personally seen this one several times already and I only have grep 3.8 on my desktop, as I use Debian stable everywhere else. But this warning may prevent hidden bugs in the future.

I had the most success just replying to inbound recruiter messages for companies that seemed interesting. I mainly used LinkedIn and YC's WaaS. Also, be sure to create a detailed profile that contains the alphabet soup of technologies that you have experience with, because this is how companies search for a potential match.
Personally, myself and several others I know don’t care to work on the problems that the big tech corpos are working on, no matter the salary. I make well below what I could because the things I work on are important contributions to society rather than helping an advertising business or help a closed garden become more closed.
I'm saying that each criteria is open to interpretation, so you can very well satisfy any of them if you play your cards right and craft a good narrative. I've seen directors and VPs take on new projects, get praised, hold talks, get promoted and then the project is abandoned a year later. Failing upwards is very much a thing in FAANG. Not always, but it happens.
Unless you have reason to worry about the internals and how they’re implemented (which last I used Clojure is unavoidable for non-trivial code, but I don’t think that’s intended), the data structures should all conceptually desugar to s-expressions. And they certainly do at the reader level. All of the non-list literal types are semantically equivalent to some kind of list representing how their values are defined or generated as a [specialization of] `(seq . …)`.
Feel free to suggest your own bad solution!

most crypto assets can fall 99% from their initial trading price (like IPO price) before employees, founders and investors are at anything resembling a loss.

99.99% from all time highs

thats true for newly or to be launched crypto assets, and for existing established cryptos the fully diluted value (non circulating supply that company holds) is often many times the supply that “marketcap” sites show, and this is paid to employees and slowly increases the circulating supply

all while the cash compensation and bonus structure is now similar to FAANG

so I think you might be right that there are potential employees that don't understand that and can only relate to their or their friend’s attempts at day trading
I'm not one of the downvoters, but:

> they are finally ready to publicly admit to what they have clearly been planning and likely doing secretly for ages

I'm not going to take a post like this seriously unless there's some effort to say who "they" are, and how they advance their schemes. Partly that's because interest group politics are complicated and conspiracies are hard, so a story's not much of an explanation if it leaves out that part.

And partly it's because --- look, I don't think grandparent meant they-the-Jews. But a disturbingly non-negligible portion of the time, people who throw around shadowy "theys" end up meaning the Jews. So the mode makes me personally a bit uncomfortable.
Most respectable services will have an abuse@ address you can contact. They should at least be able to get your issues where they need to go internally. I've had very good results for companies and networks in the US.

Portability is important but it's not as important as having tools that meaningfully improve how you perform the task you're trying to accomplish.

I'm sorry but until you've experienced a startup shutting down the product that you built your whole knowledge repo around, you won't really understand the need for portability.

I could care less about the shiny features, because I know that in 10 years this product will be defunct, while markdown will still exist.

> I think it is quite possible that humans attempting to “fix” nature is what will ultimately lead to the extinction of the human race.

Do you feel similarly about freezing CO2 out of the air in the interior of Antarctica and burying it as dry ice? The natural temperatures are within spitting distance of the freezing point already (supposedly there have been occasional natural CO2 snows, although this is dubious because of the low partial pressure). Seems like it would be much less intrusive overall, although it would undoubtedly cost trillions to accomplish at scale.

Painting roofs white seems like a good idea, and I remember seeing a study once saying it could have decently significant effect.

But it does have one disadvantage: if you don't like the effects, you have to paint all those roofs again. With stratospheric aerosols, if you don't like the results you just stop doing it, and they'll fall out of the atmosphere in a year or two.

I do wish it were referred to as "single payer" or what have you instead of "free". Not because I think it's really fooling many people into thinking it somehow makes healthcare cost nothing to society as a whole but because it constantly detracts conversation into pointing out that it still bears a cost.

I don't think any implementation of any healthcare model in any country is without people who wished it served them better who may be interested in pursuing alternatives to it. As such comparisons which only talk about how an option isn't without problems does little to really answer which options are preferable. At best this informational alone will only tell you half the story needed. I've never really seen a solid way to compare how effective different healthcare models are though. It's hard enough to detangle the impact of the funding model from other factors at one point in time let alone over decades between countries.

It is strange that you did not name the company. Other people here might want to learn about your product.
I think we all have a hard time believing this could work. These aren't new ideas, they're long shots and everyone knows it, but we're concerned enough that we're researching it. Dumping a few cargo jets of sulfur and chalk isn't going to fuck anything up more than we have already, and learning anything new about how the atmosphere works is a win in my book (even if it's: hey, don't do that). That being said, I hope we never consider deploying this at scale.

Personally, I think the answer is more of what we're doing right now: financial incentives for provable results. Taxes or fines for pollution, credits and subsidies for green energy. Subsidize the energy, not the equipment and you'll discourage bad actors.
Decoupling what? That is not the cause of recession and it isn't happening.

Any sufficiently rich data structure is probably enough on its own. Lists certainly are. For example, you don't need arithmetic separately, since you can simulate it with lists in any number of ways; e.g., the von Neumann-esque `0 = ()` and `succ n = n : n`, according to which a number is represented by a canonical list of that length. Once you can define `succ`, you can define all other arithmetic. If you're willing to give up canonical representatives, and represent a number by any list of that length, then you get an easy definition of addition by concatenation.

If you'll forgive my giving an answer that clearly wasn't what you intended, rather famously, lambdas are sufficient: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_calculus. See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combinatory_logic.

> A lot of development jobs can be simplified into a web endpoint that hits a database.

This doesn't ring right. It might (maybe) be educational to do this, but I'd say that any "development job" that is about software development is not trivial like you say.

An "endpoint-to-database" job doesn't exist [1] - I think you're making a simplification here and the real argument is if its educational.

[1] find a job description that says REST or GQL endpoint directly to database, and doesn't have a long wishlist of other skills, experience, or design - I'll gladly take 100 of those and be on my merry way (!)
It's not just about temp change and ocean levels- it's the shifts in climate affecting ecosystems (for example, speeding up desertification in some places and bringing extreme weather to others). Sure, people can move inland, but moving inland isn't going to help the ecosystems. Humans are very adaptable, we have technology and skills to handle rapidly changing parameters- other organisms can't. Changes of salinity in water, drier soil, excessive rain, first/last frost, etc. are happening too fast and causing widespread destruction to and collapse of ecosystems worldwide- the affected flora/fauna aren't like us- they simply won't survive.
We're already doing that. The human race would have to literally go extinct to reverse global warming by only cutting carbon emissions.

Actual use cases? Ludicrously quick AI inferencing, media transcoding, 3D render offloading, SIMD-bound simulations and anything that uses CUDA. Dedicated graphics will dominate in these scenarios, and it's such a large market that the 4090 is hardly the tip of the iceberg. Nvidia's server-grade AI chips are genuine monsters. People definitely use these cards, and there's a demand to scale them for datacenters too.

Gaming still drives the sales, but you'd be surprised by what you can do with a $500 GPU plugged into a Linux box.

I'll defend Meta for once. Let's take accessibility out of the picture for a moment.

Imagine you have an idea to sell a product and have 100 potential customers. Your research indicates 95% of those prospects need a set of use cases to be solved in order to be convinced to buy the product. 5% need a very unique, different, and challenging set of use cases. What should you do with your $10M product development budget for version 1.0?

Does it make sense to equally prioritize both sets of use cases and users? Of course not. If your company was developing a new product/service, would they not prioritize requirements based on the percentage of customers that would benefit from each?

If Meta never addressed people with disabilities, that would be a major PR problem for them. They have billions of users today and obviously want all of them and more in their metaverse. Is it realistic to believe they'd forever ignore the huge, raw number of users with various accessibility needs? No.
The only geoengineering approach I see discussed in the media is this sulfur dioxide aerosol method. Does anyone know why seeding iron filings in the Southern Ocean doesn't get more consideration? That's always seemed a more straightforward route to me, and one that could be pursued more cautiously.

For those that don't know, coccolithophores are single-celled phytoplankton that grow a calcium carbonate shell, of sorts. When they die, their shells sink to the ocean floor. It's posited that their population growth in the Southern Ocean is inhibited by the availability of iron in the water — the theory is that if you dumped some iron filings in the ocean, you'd get a coccolithophore bloom, sucking out carbon for their shells, and then sinking it permanently.
I have seen nothing that says it is recommended and not mandatory- do you have a source?
>I wish that was the case, but my experience is that there are fewer PHP jobs.

Someone told me early in my career that "my grandkids will be maintaining PHP applications". He was probably right. You might be seeing less on the job boards nowadays, but half the web still runs on PHP.
I mean, I agree anyone can do anything with enough effort, but some people have an easier time. It’s really easy for me to program computers. I routinely am perplexed that people I know can’t understand or see the algorithms and structures I see. That doesn’t mean I’m the best or that others cannot learn it, just that somehow my brain is structured, whether through nature or nurture, in a way that helps me do logic and math required for programming. On the other hand, I cannot learn other languages. I just cannot figure them out. I still worked hard to learn that skill, but I definitely worked way less hard to become experienced at this than so many programmers I know.

In my view, not everyone needs to be good at everything, but I do get that society sets up maths and science as way harder than it has to be. Part of that is how we teach math, too. I hated math until I went to college and roundabout earned a maths degree.
I don't think people should be down voting you for this comment, but I imagine the reason why is because that's generally not how things work at large companies. Someone in product and/or sales might have made the same argument you have, but in my experience the business response to that argument is something along the line of "you can quantify the cost, but you can't quantify the value (i.e. sales upside) and there's no change in business capability? No." Revenue doesn't come into it... money is money. Or perhaps more correctly, value is value.
Show HN: I built a site to view Elon Musk's Text Messages
A lot of cars completely disable the modem when service expires (which makes sense since they don't want to pay $5/month to keep it active) which makes your car harder to exploit. But if you want more assurance, it takes less than an hour to unplug the antenna in your car. Look for leaked service manuals, repair videos on YouTube, or search for a replacement module so you can look at diagrams on parts websites.

Once you know where it is, you can pry the interior panels and find the module (it should have an IMEI on it). Then find the cellular connector (it's often a standalone coaxial antenna/cable).

For example, my Hyundai has cellular connectivity integrated into the head unit. I removed 2 screws to pry off the dashboard trim, removed 2 screws and 2 bolts, and pulled out the head unit (10 minutes). There were multiple coax connectors (such as for the FM antenna and satellite radio), but the cellular module was clearly visible through the ventilation slats so I yanked its connector (5 minutes). I taped the connector to the wiring harness so it doesn't rattle and reassembled everything (10 minutes). Less than 30 minutes overall, not bad for a hardware mod!

I'm not against these systems because they offer a lot of convenience for people who need them. Some people need to pre-cool/pre-heat their car when it's parked several blocks away from their home or office, or they need warnings if they absentmindedly leave a window open or a door unlocked. Not to mention you could get to your car quickly and deter a thief if it sends glass break notifications. That's not worth the software vulnerabilities nor $10/month to me, so I disconnect the antenna for peace of mind. But some of my family members are glad to use these features because it improves their QoL. So I'm in favor of legislation that mandates a few years of security updates, and requires that a disable switch will actually disconnect the modem.

Are you planning to use this just for yourself. Or, are you planning to start a SaaS company from your home?

A flood of requests, bots, or even a ddos attack can cause issues with your internet connection. If you use that same connection for work for example that can be a serious issue.

Unless you have a static IP address you'll have to deal with the IP changing.

If there is a vulnerability in your express app, it could lead to the compromise of other machines and other parts of the network (unless this windows machine is isolated from the rest of your LAN.)

Just things to consider, probably not deal breakers!
Alright, you got me. :D I still think I'm probably right about the implicit assumptions in the product design, but that does mean their advertising is misleading at best.
I find it pretty interesting that this company/product (Metrist) has created a monitoring tool for different cloud products, because their monitoring is so bad. Honestly a good idea, but a bit sad these companies can't do this themselves.
