I recently bought an RC car because why not. Just started building a RWD drift car. I've spend way too much and driven way too less, but seriously, driving a few stupid toy cars on a parking lot always brings a smile on my face. Met some new friendly folks as well. Basically just hobby things..

I hope you can find joy in a hobby too.

Actually they often do. It is not that uncommom that politicians, government workers etc quit or get fired when embarrasing things are exposed. Esp if it relates to making personal economic gains from the position one has.
I didn't make a personal attack on Poettering; my objection is to the software his team produces. And I wasn't making any technical argument; I don't know enough about TPM and secure boot to do that.

My point was a political one, I guess: this is more software that runs very deep in the system, coming from a team that has a record of producing software that is hard to opt-out of.

For PulseAudio on Debian, you have to take firm steps to ensure the package manager doesn't reinstall it. Much the same goes for systemd. I assume it will be much harder to opt-out of a secure boot released by that team. I believe that's on purpose: they could have made it easier to run without those packages, if they'd wanted to. I think it's clear that they wanted the opposite.
"Passive Income" is the root of all of our economic troubles. People who are getting "Passive Income", are by definition not working and producing output for the economy.

In order to gain passive income, you must leech off someone else's work product. So in addition to not working yourself, you reduce the incentive for others to work by taking what could have been their wages.

The obsession with "Passive Income" is what is killing the United States and western economies. Capitalism only works when bad investing is punished and the investors contribute value to society by selecting productive and useful occupations for the labor force. In the current system, investors instead act primarily as leeches/parasites that are killing off the labor force.

There are too many governmental laws "protecting investors" that need to be eliminated, because they allow idiots to remain members of the investor class. If you are too dumb to recognize a ponzi scheme, then you don't need to be controlling society's capital and should be relegated to working class.

The idea of investing in the stock market as a whole and the creation of regulations that have made that viable are killing off the labor force in general.

Maybe 35-40 years ago.

My grandmother never locked her door when she was at home, for example, even in 2020, because she'd lived so long in society as it was that she literally couldn't believe that it could end up as it had; and this wasn't due to stupidity. It was actually safe and normal once.

Yes, I'd say you are absolutely right in that insulation is the most important thing to improve. I'm not familiar with cavity insulation, but I suspect that it's not the best in terms of efficiency. On the other hand different kinds of wall insulation might ruin one's health or one's house, so I'm not really sure what can be done (if anything).

My house has something called ETICS* (basically a thick outer layer of polystyrene with a weather resistant paint. Ugly stuff, but it works wonders!), mineral wool insulation in the attic (which I'm supplementing just in case), underfloor insulation with extruded polystyrene and of course double glazed windows. We don't turn on the heat until it's 3 degrees or less outside. Thermostats and stuff like in the article bring too small benefits to really consider.

I used dart for a couple projects just around it's 1.0 release. I really liked it back then. They were working on some neat ideas. I remember futures and streams being really really interesting in 2013 or so. Originally Dart was competing directly with Typescript. It wasn't clear who would win at the time. Typescript focused on being a superset of JS and Dart made the mistake of trying to push its own VM into the browser which never really got traction and so transpiling to JS and depending on gwt was the only answer for dart on the web (I think) and the js output was pretty hairy. Dart web was dead. Go was already getting popular on the backend and so Dart had nowhere left to go until Flutter. Dart's fate is now Flutter's fate.
>Going into a bike shop, I couldn't just purchase the cheapest bike. The person said maybe now I want to bike for 20 minutes on weekends for fun, but in 1 year I'll want to bike 50 miles. So I should consider buying bike that is 3X as expensive that is made of carbon fiber. Want to buy a pair of shoes to go for a 20 minute run? Well, then you want a custom measurement and evaluation of your gait and ... you see where this is going. When you go into a sports store to buy something they want to sell you a lifestyle, not a product.

Maybe all that cheap-gas-based industry was not very competitive in the first place?

I think a fair amount of people - particularly those in HCOL cities - could afford monthly payments that are on the high side, but saving for a 20% deposit has been more difficult because of how high prices have been (ie, stuck in a rent cycle of only saving a bit because of how high rent is and so on).

If you had already that license I don't think Adobe can revoke it. I don't think it is legal to revoke a license that is sold in the second hand market either.

Yes, there's a reason for that. People hate being employees and would like to take more ownership over their income / livelihood.
This is another thing people don't consider: housing is priced at the margin. One house has to sell in the neighborhood because of divorce / death / etc, and boom you have the one comp that everything else is tied to.

I have a feeling that this post is somewhat personal? Maybe your social circle, either online or offline is doing this?

It's also not very new. At my previous job, many people had side gigs. And people have done this for a very long time. In the Netherlands we even have a word for it, 'beunhaas', which is a person that does a job they have no formal education for. Like the school teacher who lays flooring on the weekend.

These days, however, there are many things that probably used to be considered hobbies, that can now earn you a living wage. You don't have to be a PGA pro anymore to earn money playing golf, you can just make video's and post them on the internet.

And then there's all the stories about hobby projects that turned into businesses that are all over the internet. So in stead of laying flooring or fixing roofs on the weekend to earn some extra cash, people try to do so with their hobbies.

Personally, I'd love to earn some money with 3D printing or flying drones. It just seems that the market is saturated with everyone wanting to do so.
Yes, many person years were lost, mostly among the elderly and infirm. I am truly sorry for your loss, whether your father was in that group or not. But the fact on the ground is that "do nothing" and "do something stupid" were the only two choices that actually happened around the world, and regrettably mostly the latter. Pretending otherwise is not useful to the discussion or any future policy decision.

There is really no example of a country that successfully "did something well" as a matter of policy; the countries that fared better in terms of death rates did so on the basis of their demographics or their cultural habits. Countries with younger or fitter (less obese) populations did much better. Countries with more group-minded cultures, like the East Asian countries, did better, but those countries are also much less obese so it's unclear how much the habitual masking in those places helped. If you have counterexamples, I would love to hear about them.

In the end, there's not much policy-wise you can do in the face of a highly transmissible airborne disease that's not actually deadly enough to scare people into staying away from each other. Governments can issue as many policy decisions as they would like in the moment, but in the end everyone is going to get it, and some will die.

Long-term policies that encourage people to actually be healthy would help a lot more; but instead many countries, and especially the developed Western ones, did the opposite and encouraged or forced people to stay home, next to their refrigerators, in fear, away from laughter and joy from their social groups, all the while demonizing those who broke the arbitrary and capricious rules at the same time that political leaders were visibly flouting their own rules. I suppose we can agree that we learned a lot about what not to do for the next pandemic.
> It's always easy to say "just be better and more diligent programmers", but that doesn't work. If the language promote spagetti, spagetti will be written.

Oh, I completely agree and I would never say that.

But at the same time, Java promotes complexity and overengineering. I've seen 10+ nested classes for something that was a 5-line function in Python.

The big difference for me is when I talk to Python engineer they agree that their spaghetti sucks. They want to evolve out of it, they just haven't found a way yet.

It is much harder to convince Java folks that their class hierarchies are useless.

Fixing Python spaghetti is way easier than fixing Java folks mindset.

Pekka has previously expressed that test resource management should not be included in the core and is better implemented as separate keywords. One example would be the limited resource management that Pabot supports (basically a single global semaphore that tests can increment/decrement through a pair of keywords.)

The problem with 3-rd party keyword-based solutions is that the resource acquisition becomes a part of the test process and could a test report to look like "ran for 6 minutes, then failed" when what really happened is the actual test couldn't be run at all because resources weren't found. It would be nice to be able to queue tests based on the resources they'll need.

Also, another feature that's more difficult with custom implementations is static analysis of the test base. If resource requests were a declarative part of the RF language (much like tags) you could do things like "run all tests that exercise resource X" or "run all tests except those which require more than one Y". This is technically possible with a keyword library but requires an additional global lexing pass of the entire test base, and this is the kind of logic you don't want to decouple from RF and it's test discovery behavior.

Perhaps Pekka can be won over in the future.

> The only company which builds all their hardware with comparable quality to other manufacturers' pro lines is Apple.

Well, that's not strictly true either. Apple has had a well documented history of building some very poor quality items (amid it's history of generally building very high quality items, to be sure). However, when it does so, it promptly tells the consumer there's nothing wrong, and if there is, it's the consumer's fault for using it wrong.

The more I think about it though, the more I'm aligned with the idea — except the home address part, that's just mental and dangerous.

So all your details like salary, social security number, etc. are public. What's the end result? For me, nothing. I _could_ care less, but not by much.

I know people get all worked up about things like their social security number being exposed, "because fraud!", but really? How? They'd go somewhere and try to open a bank account or something with your details? Without an government approved ID?

On the other hand, I can see a lot of good coming from this level of transparency. So much crap is possible due to secrecy being the norm. It's like how at work you're expected not to share your salary with co-workers, but the C-levels know how much you get paid. Same thing in society; we're expected not to share information with each other, but the government knows everything. Put it all out in the open and let's see what floats.

Show HN: Villagers – A group travel app
I've built Villagers, a group travel app, in an attempt to overcome my own social isolation while working remotely, especially as someone who's friends are now largely parents and much less available for group travel.

I find small group travel magical from an interpersonal and experience standpoint but organizing trips is absolutely brutal. With Villagers, I wanted to see if software could overcome some of those planning challenges with financial incentives, social features, and automation -- especially around messaging.

I love climbing, so I've built a trip to co-work and climb in Red Rocks (Nevada) in November.

https://villagersapp.com/t/gkkfv

I'm looking for 4-8 high EQ tech folks who'd like to co-work and climb. Everyone's identity will be verified and I'll make sure it's a broad culture fit (i.e. polite, respectful, reasonably extroverted, etc.). We'll keep the costs down to less than $500 per person for 3 nights.

For more social proof before you join me on a trip, you can click through my profile on the trip page above to see my LinkedIn work history as an early engineer at Plaid and most recently the founder of a 70+ person company (Tremendous).

I don't think I ever found out about that particular one.

The ones that I've found more annoying than amusing are things such as:

- The maximum cash of 30M (10M or something in the deluxe edition), at which point you can no longer make a profit without jumping through hoops

- Not a bug, but the limits on the number of trains and stations combine poorly with the above

- If you have multiple rate wars at the same time, you only get the periodic status report on one of them, forcing you to play blind in the other ones

- In the deluxe edition, I'm pretty sure there's an overflow or some other kind of a bug in the final score calculation that has significantly dropped my final scores on multiple occasions

One that was more amusing was that I think if you bought control of two if the other companies, you were also able to access the third one (e.g. to transfer money to yourself) by using a bug in the broker menu.
Yes, I would rather pay usurious rates with a commensurately low price. Even though it would be terrible basically having the vast majority of my monthly payment going purely to interest for a long time, it's possible to:
