Not mentioned at all is most people's salaries cannot buy you the same life that it was able to afford baby-boomers. The work-life balance re-assessment is partially based on a recognition that they are getting less benefit per hour spent at work, and for many the tradeoff is no longer worth it.

If the best that people with degrees, trade qualifications or good ol' fashioned hard work can look forward to is just scraping by, forever on the rent treadmill, then what was all the hustle for? They may as well scrape by and enjoy their life.

No-one is under any illusion that just by making it to the next tier in their company they'll suddenly be bonafide middle-class Americans either. They can tell their management is in the exact same boat.

I won't bother mentioning dollar figures, because that really doesn't translate well across the conversation. People are looking for a good life in their chosen community, whatever that costs is what is fair for a hard worker. If I were to mention a salary amount it would mean a different level of living for everyone who read it, depending on where they live.
There is so much empty space. I assume this is because it's built on blocks but it's the exact opposite of clutter and equally as unattractive. I have said before that the overall design was copied from what a four year-old designs when given a 4ft by 6ft white canvas and a box of crayons.
The Quest 2 is pretty good when connected to a PC and is way cheaper than most alternatives
You are addressing two diff issues. America Vs Rest of the world is a diff topic from America vs Musk. I wasn’t commenting about anything that would suggest that America should/should not be above the rest of the world. This was merely about relationships between America and the billionaires USA fosters.

Without a doubt, the billionaires of America wouldn’t exist without American govt’s benevolence. The difference between other oligarchies and America is that America is benevolent to those who keep our economy stable and it is in the interest of the people(employment, environment etc).

Talking about American exceptionalism is slightly off topic, imo.

America is not cursed. It’s not perfect but very naturally, it’s interests are aligned towards the welfare of Americans and America’s position in the world. America will support anyone who makes this possible. This isn’t always true of many countries in the world as corrupt leaders and tribalism destabilizes the nation.

We have a stable economy. On balance, America is better than most other countries in terms like environment, hunger, employment etc. Cultural factors of our diverse population is not the failure of the nation. It’s called freedom. Example: malnutrition in poorer countries is due to lack of food or drought or famine. Malnutrition in America is mostly due to bad food choices of individuals. It is not the failure of America to keep its populace well fed. We have the cheapest food and the best supply chains. That’s all the govt can do. Etc.

America is not perfect but anyone ..including immigrants..can become billionaires here. As it’s been proven again and again. I doubt if this is possible anywhere else in the world at our scale and reach. Bashing America for perceived fill-in-the-blanks is weak. Often it’s a case of sour grapes even though US is not perfect.
Why didn't he specify that he wanted a y-axis? Or vertical axis on the left side? This is the issue with prompt engineering, you need to know the concepts and their names in order to elicit the response/image that you have in your mind.
What game should I pick up instead?
It is horrible idea, PayPal is payment provider, not some sort of morality police!
> It’s no coincidence at all that WeChat is the only “everything app” anyone can cite, and it comes from China, an authoritarian regime.

It makes sense that it would come from a more authoritarian country first. But Whatsapp, say, could add payments and similar features if they were valuable to users.

This is all commentary on something Elon Musk probably said in the hope that investors would fling cash at him, of course.
Well, LLVM being written in C++ is fine for memory safety, but let's not kid ourselves. If LLVM were written in Rust it would have function level parallel compilation already. LLVM compilation is not parallelized yet because it is written in C++.
> Its baffling to think that the same company is responsible for Teams.

In an absolutely symmetric comparison, the Germans first gave us Goethe, and then..

Same company, but different teams I guess :)
I'm surprised to hear this. It seems like the point is clearly to allow existing Dvorak (desktop) users to avoid switching formats when they switch devices. It shouldn't matter whether Dvorak is optimal for typing on a phone.
Imo there's still too much friction in tethered VR and not enough good content in standalone VR.
International market prints have a different ISBN so those shouldn't get mixed up. Pirate copies could be an issue, I have only heard about this issue on Amazon. I'm not sure about other stores? Skipping Amazon is likely sufficient.
> but then deleted it when it turned out it wouldn't work unless you gave it access to your physical location (I assume that was for their data marketing side business).

In order to use bluetooth or internet access through wireless means you must request location access because it's assumed that you can match a person's location with the access points and bluetooth devices around them (BL beacons). It sucks but Android is semi-right on it. Something that doesn't use wireless means of communication doesn't need location access.
Digital currencies solve exactly zero parts of this issue. Nor are they magically "non-inflationary"; that's just hilarious.
I think one thing this doesn’t mention is that you also want to create separate root and home subvolumes because it allows you to roll back last month’s OS upgrade without having to roll back your home directory, too.
Spotify already has a "Discovered On" section on the Artist page which has playlists that include the artists.
Let's slow down here. Paypal has a long history and we should give them the benefit of the doubt.
Are you serious? Long time Linux guy here and I'm always gobsmacked by finding out stuff like this -- knowing that a lot of developers use Apple. The extent to which Apple stuff is locked down never fails to just strike me as absurd.
I was banned for telling a black person that "person of color" is a silly term, and that he should just call himself black. The justification cited : racism.

These are the people in charge.
Any sufficiently complex "one-time setup cost" quickly becomes an ongoing maintenance quagmire. And I say that as a full-time neovim user for the past seven years.

Neovim is still my favorite vi, but I think I erred when I started bolting on so many plugins and supporting processes... when I want a lightweight IDE, I'll use VS Code.
I just found this recent writeup on the subject, I didn’t have time to read it yet but looks interesting (he hasn’t been active on HN for almost two years, by the way).

Non-inflationary currencies are a bad idea. Without inflation, hoarding is incentivized, and investment discouraged (or at least, decreased). Currency is most useful when people spend it - money in bank accounts is useless for society.
On the other hand since we don't get the plastic bags for free anymore I'm usually struggling to find a sturdy plastic bag at home when I need one, e.g. to wrap shoes in a travel bag.

No, that's not an argument about not banning them, just a funny observation how these things change. I also used to often not buy any trash bags and just use the decently sized grocery store ones, but maybe in never tossing but reusing them I was already an outlier.
while endearing, it does endanger the trajectory of the main feature. 'how many paid FT devs are being added per feature' is what should be asked.

People asking "Is it fun" are missing the point.

Don't 'fun' yourself into a job under terms you didn't get to negotiate, state your requirements and adjust your work funnel accordingly. I've witnessed a lot of 'fun' projects manifest themselves into serious projects that fall apart because this forethought was neglected.
Exactly. They should have thought about that before they started it. But I guess they fucking didn't....

Anyway, what game should I pick up instead?
Now vs. IPO: Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Tesla
I’m an alter cocker and I feel way too tired all morning and not tired enough when it’s time to go to sleep.
> This is a fairly broad problem

Permission greed is definitely an issue but it's still the choice of every developer, and there are still plenty of apps that do not do this. You were right to refuse using the app if you don't trust it.

> Handed over to the American authorities

At least on paper they need to have a reason, unless the corporation is very accommodating which also happens. But some companies are more strict about this and at least in theory accessing private information is not as easy in western countries. Or so I'd like to believe. I'm not sure in China you can tell the government official to come back when they have a warrant in a meaningful way.

> The only real solution is data protection laws

Sign me up! Unfortunately, the current state of things makes a lot of money for some parties, and legislators don't really have an incentive to do anything about this. However, it sends a very clear message when the Pentagon closes the door on some companies or when certain vendors like Huawei or ZTE are banned altogether.
I know you were talking about conventional warfare, but unless your apocalypse-causing list includes inflation upfront, it's not complete.
Purchased for Android, love Flutter and been trying to learn guitar off/on, so this could be helpful.

Question re: web (where I have not been impressed with Flutter as a platform) - I just get "Failed to start listening thread." I tried both Firefox and Chrome, latest versions.

Side note: Also noticed I can't highlight/copy the text (common usability/accessibility issue with Flutter Web. I believe it's not that hard to allow?)
Love this though I have to ask, wouldn't getting the HWND of the Edit Control via WindowFromPoint and sending WM_SETTEXT be easier than digging through memory?

I guess the point may be to learn how Cheat Engine can be used in a practical way to hook things which is definitely more along the lines of some of the author's other posts!
Not all DJI drones have a GPS.
The internet is the everything app; it's currently somewhat decentralized but it's becoming more and more centralized every day.

And the benefits of centralization are immediate and obvious; the downsides are hidden, localized, and not clear.
I ran a BBS as a teen, on my Amiga, out of my bedroom, and it was such a fun project for me.

At the time, it was expensive to make phone calls outside of your area code. And that was a healthy natural constraint on the community: Nearly everyone calling into a BBS was local. One of the bigger BBSs in my town even had meetups.

Other great things about BBSs: Most of them were run out of someone's home. No one was going for growth at any cost, as a VC-backed startup would. There were dozens of BBS software platforms, no single walled garden, lots of room for customization. And, of course, the ASCII art was amazing.
Members of the rust community were often accused of being overly-enthusiastic in recommending that things be rewritten in rust, so much to the point it more or less became a meme unto itself.

Now, visceral anti-rust gut reactions are more commonplace than inappropriate suggestions to use rust are. Even that is petering out, though.
pretty sure the ones without a handle were invented a person who simply loaded them from the cart into their trunk and then from their garage into their house. No rain, 5 meters. But surely not something you'd carry home by foot for just 500m.
Setting aside whether you should have been banned, what you did was incredibly stupid. What made you think that you should go around telling Black people what they "should" call themselves? That's not your business or your job. Just keep your mouth shut about things that you have no right to comment on.
Can anyone shed more light on why it takes 7-10 years to get to an actual store?

In my head you’d start signing up suppliers / farmers, find a suitable place to rent, get some more funding, build out the store, hire, and start it up. What makes it slower than other businesses?
South America was also much more populous than North America. I suspect we weren’t as successful at eliminating stouthearted americas culture.
F-droid often has nice apps, but too often, they are just not good enough for what I want or need[1]. In that case, I'll gladly pay on the play-store because the paid version is nearly always (but certainly not guaranteed to) have less or no trackers ads, and malware included. The free apps far too often do.

I use https://exodus-privacy.eu.org/ to check for trackers, ads and "malware".

[1] Far too often, the apps there are "OK, but...", clearly the work of a someone building a quick "works for me" or someone learning how to build apps. For some tasks, "just OK" is good enough. More often it just isn't.
I've used vi from Linux terminal sessions for more than a decade, and VS Code as a GUI editor now most times when not in a terminal session.

Am I missing something not using a GUI vi editor? I came across some dude on YouTube that calls himself "The Primeagen" that swears by VIM, but I couldn't follow his use of it.
One of the quotes from younger people is "I realise the things I’m doing are above my pay grade" – "above my pay grade" is definitely not a term invented by the youth. Nothing being attributed to young people here is new. If the author can't see that, and thinks this attitude wasn't present in the Boomer generation, then they themselves aren't putting in the necessary reflective work.
There is room for others to firmly believe that Amazon could simply preclude some items from “customers also bought” product suggestions, when those product combinations create serious issues. That’s all many here are asking to see changed.
By reading the homepage, I can gather that this is a service that offer onsite or online captioning by HUMAN, not by machines. Being a live interpreter at medical conferences myself, I would say these people have mad skills. Listening, translating, and typings live? That's just pure talent.
Back during the Palm Pilot days I was a big fan of the FITALY keyboard. I sometimes wish there was a version of it for android.

Not to shove Emacs into a Vim thread but Emacs file browsing is actually pleasurable. You can have a tree if you want (neotree) but C-x C-f with Ivy fuzzy search makes navigating really easy. It's one of the things I wish Vim had for a long time and one of the things that eventually drew me away from Vim to Emacs.

Anyway, to add to your point there are also cases where highlighting a large chunk of code is often easier with mouse based nav.
I miss del.icio.us – the web’s discovery-engine and link classifier
How are they more optimal than the "traditional" (for the last few decades) method, a missile? Missiles have the advantages of bigger range, faster, different profiles (hypersonic cruise, ICBM). A drone might be harder to detect today, maybe, because anti-air systems didn't need to deal with them (while they did have to deal with missiles, so are optimised for that use case), but that's about it?
No discussion of ConTeXt?
> they could overtake windows in 40-50 years.

Is that also your overall estimate on how long the mobile paradigm will overtake the desktop one? I would guesstimate that to a decade, or a decade and a half at most, with the degeneration of written language following closely.

People aren't stupid.

If a PC company came out and charged premium prices but gave you the best quality PC's with a well engineered interfaces and hardware, it would do just fine.

But almost all PC vendors produce bottom of the barrel half ass crap consumer grade computers with terrible QC, that will start falling apart in a few years.

Even the big name brands like Dell and HP who could do better.... prefer shipping a crap product to reduce the bottom line.

And word gets around.

Every single dell xps I had failed via hardware after a couple years. I have Mac's that are still going after a decade.

We should be thankful that Mac exists to show us what's possible with a computer...or we would be at the mercy of these terrible computer manufacturer monopolies and thier crap consumer machines.
Sounds exaggerated but I see the point you're trying to make.

You need to consider that the underlying thing for these censorship machines, is an automaton of algebraic optimizations (I refuse to call that AI intentionally as they are not intelligence) trained to mimic judgments by people with ideologies.

These ideologies form a cosmovision of life, the universe and everything and judge everything based on it.

When they are stupid, they impose the judgment making their stupidity mandatory.

PS: your last two sentences are highly accurate, and note that a big problem resides in the part were you say you can somehow avoid the deplatforming because for most people, that means adapting themselves to obey the madatory stupidity of these machines, treating them as peer pressure and molding our behavior. But do they deserve that obedience? Why are we giving it to them? Is this the beginning of a slippery slope that ends up making in the future imposible to organics to disobey artificials? (great for SiFi movie plots BTW)
Facebook and Instagram have the same ad tech behind it, and that's the most poisonous part.
going this route too - django is a solid framework - well supported, and documented. Ill be going this route, and as others said rebuilding entirely once product market fit is found
Imagine some medieval equivalent of the ordinary modern suburban household.

In particular, the lighting and the entertainment available.

It'd have to be some kind of grand, once-in-a-lifetime celebration at a palace, right? To even get close. A real blow-out. Gotta be royalty, and powerful royalty, not just some minor prince. This is empire at its fullest.

Thousands of mirror-backed candles burning, a dozen of the best musicians from the known world, a dozen troupes of players, a dozen master storytellers, all taking requests. Ambassadors with news from the farthest reaches of the world. Wizards, philosophers, writers, ready and willing to bend your ear. Jugglers, game-tables, and sports—lit by torch-bearing servants aplenty, why not, even in the depths of night? Your friends are there, to chat and gossip with. All the notables from a hundred courts with their own juicy tales. Merchants, aggressively hawking the latest and greatest wares that the wealth of three continents could provide.

And that's before we even consider the sex shows! Anything your heart (ahem) desires is there.

And the party never sleeps. You might, but it's always there, any time you like.

Ponder the following:

1) If there were a fable about a palace that kept this kind of revelry up for a whole year, what might the lesson be? How would you expect living in that environment to go? How would the kingdom do during this time?

2) The above is in some ways less distracting and tempting than the way we all actually live, right now.
I consider myself fortunate to love these damned infernal machines such that my passion and the-good-work aligns. Early in my career at AWS, after a bit of ego alignment, I realized the tremendous opportunity to just grind and get things done.

Going above and beyond was learning more and more. I read years of COE reports learning why and how massive distributed systems fail which made me a better team mate, better code reviewer, and help me help managers. Sure, I had a job to do, but the going above and beyond should be self interested.
I agree that your definition would be more intuitive, but I think that ship has sailed. It seems to be almost universally used to mean "performing the required duties of your role, and no more"

I think it's an indication of a totally dysfunctional work culture that "not doing extra" can be synonymous with "not working at all"

The fact that the author claims to have given "200% of [their] energy" to their job "throughout their career" is, to me, depressing rather than admirable
Are you also black or a “person of color”? I’m curious why you think one term is somehow more appropriate than the other.

Rampant privatization is not any more enticing than what you describe.
Feel free to correct me if you think I'm wrong but I always interpreted "above my pay grade" as lacking the authority to make certain decisions.
In isolation, perhaps not, but musical taste plus another characteristic can say a lot about someone. (I might be biased because my future wife caught my attention when I overheard her say she liked a certain band in a group setting where most people hadn't heard of it.)

Spotify doesn't have its claws in real-life gatherings yet, but they might have something with their music (personality) and podcasts (interests, affiliations) data.
Most of the popular boards in my area code only had one line, two if you were lucky. This of course meant only one user could be online at a time.

As the evening falls, and more and more people would turn their modems on, you were met with nothing but busy signals. You'd redial over and over, waiting, and then you'd hear the modem connecting! You were now online, and if the BBS had a time limit, the clock was ticking. You'd go through messages, play a couple rounds of door games, maybe download a new file.

After your time was up, you'd connect to some other BBS that wasn't quite as popular. But the door games weren't as fun, they didn't have as many downloads, and maybe the messageboards were dead.

It's weird now, since everyone can use Twitter (or the rest of the internet) at the same time. There's no limit to the amount of people who can download Angry Birds from the app store.

When the PlayStation Network or HN is down, I guess it's kind of a reminder of those times.
