Mighty strange definition of "unusable" you've got there. These are nothingburger complaints for 90% of typical Mac users. Sure, they might be annoying for you, but most users will just shrug at that list and think, yeah, but I can easily watch Apple TV on my Mac while I'm working.
I think that's a bit harsh. It's frustrating to translate an imperative task to an FP language, but it's also frustrating to translate a Bash command into Python, or Prolog semantics into Go, or any program full of mutations and global state into (safe) Rust.

I think a lot of the friction you mentioned comes from learning imperative programming first. Our vocabulary, tools, and even requirements come with an implicit imperative assumption.

PS: I didn't downvote you, though your tone is harsher than I prefer for HN.
That looks pretty good honestly!

As someone who loves both Lisp and Pascal, I really need to revisit Nim.
I have digital books from 12 years ago on my hard drive (I switched to digital 12 years ago and got rid of all my dead trees about 10 years ago). I don't see any reason why they won't still be available and readable in another 20 years, or 50 for that matter.

I used to have about 500 physical books, which took up a dozen or more book boxes and were back-breaking to move (I move a lot - every year on average). Every time they got moved they got damaged, and in one place the only storage area for them was damp, so they started getting moldy.

I have probably 2000 books stored on a couple of backup drives (duplicated). I can move them (and my e-reader) in my pocket.

I did lose a few in the early days because I stupidly went with Kindle and Amazon's DRM crap. But I managed to convert most of them to EPUB and now I only buy DRM-free books.
The guy might be an asshole and a boarder line sociopath, but I would still choose SpaceX/Tesla over meta/twitter. At least the formers didn't help unleashed the modern hyper-polarerized society.

The job better come with a premium for the foreseeable job instability though.

Musk also seems to demand his employee to devote their entire waking hour to the job and be constantly switching contexts to handle different tasks. Some people excel at that but not me, so I probably won't meet the bar.
I would expect them to move telnetlib to a separate, unsupported repo that you can then import.

Even if they don’t, from a cursory view, it seems it’s a pure python library (https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Lib/telnetlib.py).

If so, can’t you copy the current code into your project? You would take on the burden of supporting it, but looking at https://github.com/python/cpython/commits/main/Lib/telnetlib..., that doesn’t seem to be much of a burden.
The reason a euro-centric, Russia-centric view doesn’t work here is:
1( A huge portion of Russian casualties came not because of Nazi, but total and complete ineptitude on the part of the Russian commanders, and later in the war, casual disregard of strategy in favor of brute force, no matter the casualties.
2) it completely ignores the pacific theaters which the United States, Australia and New Zealand took on, but the rest of the allied and axis powers could not physically do anything in, until the very last minutes of the war.
3) Once you dig into the numbers, the American aid to both GB and Russia kept both countries in the war in 1942. the Americans where literally disassembling their power plants, steel mills, and entire classes of aircraft and shipping them to Russia. Sean McMeekin’s breaks the numbers down pretty well. Russias own industrial renaissance was enabled by the exporting of American industrialization and equipment.
Both my kids transitioned from Montessori to public school at 11 (grade 5) in the US. 13 and 16 now.

+ Love of learning and self-driven discovery

+ Top of class in pretty much all subjects

+ Comfortable giving presentations

+ Comfortable working in groups

+ At ease working with younger students/children and essentially mentoring them

+ Excellent handwriting

+ Respect for teachers

- Difficulty with testing that involves framing the questions in an intentionally deceptive manner

- Difficult transition to the cliques and more aggressive social dynamics of public school

- Tough for them to deal with the way many students treat their teachers and behave in general in public school

I would recommend, that a year or 2 before the kids transition they start doing standardized tests and worksheets to get acclimated to that. It's a big shock otherwise.

Overall my kids loved their time in Montessori and wish the program had gone through high school.
I guess it's a Gaussian, by the central limit theorem.
When I was younger and didn't have kids, I would have seen it as a great opportunity.

My priorities shifted to creating a more stable environment at home while my kids are growing up though. Consistent hours, not missing their activities and events, etc.

I don't have any issues with working long hours towards a big challenge, I just value my time with my kids more.
... and that's bad for the actual altruistic causes because?

Yes there are such people. I don't think they would be less greedy and exploitative if they didn't have a way to feel better about it. They would find another way to feel better, perhaps one that doesn't have the side effect of actually help out random people that would benefit from that help.
If the money was good, I would give it a shot.
I run my own server and "git pull" onto it, old school style (well, 2010's style anyway!)
Technically the mercurial pre and post hooks are mostly still there, but I'm not certain we want to support them long term. The existing hook design has some problems.

I'd be curious about your use case, since we don't actually use hooks internally all that much.
Same.
That would be fun to have a real Tony Stark on earth.

Publishing work open source is not magical protection from criticism, nor from requests, especially when using software with an issue tracker that you leave open to anyone. Whether they receive money for it or not is also irrelevant - would their reaction or their decision be better if they earnt a million quid per issue? No, so let's not bother with such facile excuses.

Furthermore, I haven't added anything to the project's issue tracker, and I didn't criticise them for turning down a request but the way they reacted to a request. Please try not to create straw man arguments because they're more convenient to rebut than what has actually been written, that's unbecoming.
Elon Musk demands Twitter staff commit to ‘long hours’ or leave
Err, did he find the leaker or just anybody who’d printed that file? Hypothetically one person could have printed it at work while the leaker printed it at home, right?
It's fifteen years since bitcoin came out. Why are you still pretending that it's early? It's absolutely not early anymore.
> So Consumer Reports put together 3 of their top hybrids here. The Lexus NX came out a few years ago in the premium luxury segment here. Very nice car, attractive car, good mileage there. The Ford Maverick. Now we actually had this truck. It is a small compact utility pickup truck. Unibody construction, 38 MPG with hybrid. Yeah.

What's really surprising about the Ford Maverick rated so highly is not really that it's a brand new vehicle from Ford, but that it was engineered to be the least expensive truck possible.
If I were my younger and more idealistic self then possibly yes, I can see the allure his kind of persona has to some engineers.

As I am right now with more responsibilities on my the shoulders and need for stability in my life absolutely not.
Yes.

A big part of being a business owner is that you fall on the spectrum of being an asshole. A little bit or a lot.

It takes being an asshole to do large things. And people end up hating you for it.

The bigger things you do, the bigger of an asshole you end up being.

Quick, name me the leader of a large company who is not an asshole…

And if they are not publicly one, privately they are.

The traits of a leader requires that at least half of the people you are leading will disagree with you.

So yes, why not? I would be an employee hired to do whatever would be needed.

Shift levers. Pound sand. Write code.

And since it is a free country, I would negotiate or accept a wage that I think is good for me and my family.

Or find another job.
lol at people saying no and writing a virtue signaling blog

Both Spacex and Tesla consistently rank as most desired workplaces for real engineers (as opposed to combucha drinking twitter employees w/e), fact is most of the readers here wouldn't even make it (me included)
Sure! If for no other reason that the likelihood of working on something impactful is empirically much higher than most jobs.
Your scale seems designed according to a philosophy that penalizes user experiences tailored towards fast consumption and prioritizing video content. Speaking as someone with a younger half-sibling in middle school, I would argue that one of the strongest social skills you could have is a strong awareness of YouTube/Tiktok culture. I realize not everyone uses the comments in YouTube/TikTok but if you acknowledge their crossover effects in spaces like Discord then I don't see how you can argue with a straight face that Reddit/Imgur are superior to either YouTube or TikTok. At best, I could see an argument that they prioritize different types of media and user experiences which would be true.
Maintenance <> reliability

Maintenance is planned. Reliability issues are unplanned failures.

An EV may have brakes that last longer and no oil changes, but some EV manufacturers are adding gimmicky and buggy electronics, or poorly designed body hardware that fails.

If I believed in the product we were building and that it was going to be a great product, then of course.

Elon Musk actually makes people excited for the future. He hasn't delivered on everything but he has delivered some pretty massive things that I don't think anyone else alive today could have. Or even would have.

He's an extreme optimist and working for a better future.
Did SBF take the wealth using better judgement or did he take it using dishonesty and fraud?

My impression is that it's the dishonesty and theft that people have a problem with, not just being clever and outwitting people in the speculative gambling game.

And when those people get the impression that the EA movement is okay with getting money dishonestly as long as it's given it to a worthy cause, they take issue with EA.

Edit: Just thought of an analogy. Some charities do raffles, right? You can put money into the pot for a chance to win a prize, knowing that a proportion of all the money people put in goes to the charity.

But what if the charity sold a bunch of raffle tickets and then announced that they would not award a prize and all the money would go to the charity? Or what if it came out that the prize was rigged to go to someone affiliated with the charity? In this case I don't think you can say, "Well, those people chose to gamble so they consented to having their wealth taken."
No. The idea that he's enforcing _high_ standards is laughable.

If my manager started shit-talking my colleagues in a public forum, I would resign in solidarity. That behaviour isn't acceptable and as the labor force that enables it, we shouldn't encourage it by not participating.

Sure, it's a free market. He's gonna get the people who want to work in that environment. I'd rather stick pins in my eyes.
I would want to work in the teams he's managed to attract, but not for him.
> The main disadvantage of hydrogen is that it is very difficult to store.

> It is the smallest element and simply diffuses through almost everything.

The people currently most serious about the immediate expansion of green hydrogen supplies (by a significant factor over current global production) are not looking at storing hydrogen for export | transport | storage, they're looking at ammonia - three hydrogen and a nitrogen.

There are something like two or three, at least single digits, genuinely legitimate large exchanges out there, they've been around for ~ ten years at this point, and even those I wouldn't trust enough to keep a balance at for more than a day or two.

All of the pure shitcoin exchanges, centralised "loan" providers, etc etc are probably going under. Most people I know have had this priced in since forever, they come and go all of the time.
It all started for me when he called that diver a pedophile because the diver said Elon's dumb idea was dumb. There's no politics there, that's strictly just an ugly person being ugly.
Leap seconds are an abomination. Anybody who needs astronomical time is not using UTC anyway. If necessary, we could have a leap minute in a century or two.

Google's 24-hour smear makes leap seconds, bad enough already, ever so much worse.

We could fix the problem just by never announcing another one.

> pacman or brew? really I don't care. Both install what I want with one command.

As long as you don't care about the fact that brew is slow as hell, or can't actually handle versions and dependencies properly (installed `gpg` the other day, it updated Python and SQLite and 50 other packages to the latest version, regardless of major or minor), yeah, it's a package manager. Kind of. It still boggles my mind Apple haven't replaced it with a better, official version.
It could be only hidden characters, but it could also be (and it most likely actually is also) a few commas instead of full stops, words like "many" replaced by "a lot of" or any other kind of substitution really.
Yes.

Twitter is unprofitable. People working there come off as lazy and entitled. They openly attack Elon, not contributing anything tangible except "rich man evil, worker good". Previous management wasted investor's money. Culture born in Twitter is awful, it's as if no one is proud of their work and low performers are loud and toxic.

I have no problem with Elon's stance, I don't even view him as narcissist like some have labelled him. I'd fire every single unproductive, toxic person I see and I'd want to work with people who are objective, who are there to be proud of their work and who genuinely like what they're doing.

I'm fed up with impostors posing as engineers, using the platform to blatantly attack and bear no responsibility of their own.

Elon's not someone who'll fire a person who is good at what they do.

Openly attacking the owner and boss, knowing it can only be net negative for both of you is downright STUPID and trusting people who were bad at their job (because money trail proves it) just to have a reason to hate on Elon is not even stupid, it's evil.

I wonder if the Nissan Leaf is fairly reliable because it was one of the first mass market EVs ever so they have been building them for almost 10 years. Our 2013 is fine but we bought it used so we'd already passed the descent part of the bath tub failure curve on it. I do dimly recall issues with early Leaf cars, mostly with the battery.

The other factor might be that it's basically a Nissan Versa with an EV drive train. The majority of the car is not different from their other cars, which I consider a feature because almost everything but the EV drive train uses standard parts and can be fixed by any mechanic. It basically just has a battery where the gas tank is and a motor that pretends to be an engine to the other hardware in the vehicle. (I read somewhere that this is almost literally true if you dip into its CANbus traffic.)

It's also a little bit hackable:

https://github.com/dalathegreat/leaf_can_bus_messages

I haven't done anything but I have a friend who's really into car hacking. Have chatted with him about maybe doing a side business upgrading these from CHADEMO to CCS. There are projects for doing that on GitHub with parts lists and code.
> Looking at other countries that don't have capitalism, everyone is worse off.

Interesting that all I talked about was a system of exploitation and your mind immediately filled in 'capitalism'.

I think there are many countries that temper capitalism with socialist ideals and people are not worse off than the more unfettered variety practiced in the US.
I have a lot of experience with public Montessori, wife taught as a middle school Montessori teacher for the past 3 years and both my kids went through the same school. My youngest is still there at grade 5 and my oldest is in 7th grade at a traditional middle school. My wife has taught traditional high school for about 10 years and then did a summer of training to be a certified Montessori teacher.

One thing we learned is that Montessori isn't for every child. My oldest did OK but he much prefers traditional schools and is thriving at his middle school (a public magnet). My youngest, on the other hand, loves the self-guided learning and pace. He's more organized and self-motivates better than my oldest which makes a big difference. He reads like crazy and finishes books in a week that would take me a month at least, not sure where that came from but he gets a lot of free time at school when his "works" are finished. Both kids are diagnosed with ADHD and so am I (my poor wife heh).

Another thing, the Montessori we attend is public so it still has to meet district and state testing requirements. That put it in an awkward spot where it could never be pure Montessori because of the district and state mandated testing. It also puts the teachers in an awkward spot because they're rated on testing results which contradicts the Montessori method. My wife got fed up and left last year and no teaches at a traditional public high school.

I live in DFW and the Montessori i'm referring to Mata Elementary. DISD is a notorious hellhole of a district but Mata is hanging in there. It's not perfect by any stretch but they're hanging in there and doing their best with what they have.

I wish I could. I don't think I am productive and focused enough, with my serious ADHD. Otherwise, I am happy for people who are strong and productive enough for the grind.
> If you make your billions unethically, no amount of charity will make you a good person.

I completely agree! I thought the context of the rest of my post made it clear that I assume they made it in an ethical way, but I guess it wasn't clear? I mean, if someone says they gave away billions to charity, my first question isn't immediately "but how did you make billions?". I just assume it's legit, because in most cases it's legit. And I thought I was pretty clear above that in cases it isn't legit, then that's not morally ok.
Same. Requested redemption from Gemini Friday morning (11/11), and notified it completed at 5am today (11/16), got the email about Genesis two and half hours later.

Everything involves tradeoffs. When Elon is thinking clearly and with vision, which appears inversely proportional to his celebrity, he seems like a great leader. He is a godawful manager, however, and I am uninterested in living for Elon.

Project a future where his operational style is normalized, and if you can't see the dystopian hellscape that results, then most likely you think you'd be one of the elites in that world so you're ignoring it, or you don't care so are part of that particular problem.

Uh, "No".

No. I have worked for a micromanaging, toxic narcissist who thinks he knows better than anyone (he doesn’t, demonstrably) and shifts focus after the next shiny thing too frequently, and engineers walk in eggshells because one wrong comment can get you fired.

> Elon puts a lot of focus on ability and skill over formalities and organizations

I'm curious what this means to you, because when I see people from inside Twitter correct him on Twitter, with specific technical statements describing what's going on—and then he fires them—that seems like formalities way outranking ability and skill.
When your code is sufficiently abstract, there often really aren't better variable names than a or x. My experience is that it's about the scope for that variable. If it's in a one-line lambda, then it'll be one letter. If it is going to be used in the next 10 lines or so, make an abbreviator. And it's longer, or particular unclear, spell it all out. Adding extra words don't make BusinessAbstractFactoryIBuilder more readable.
These days the rebellion starts from kindergarten apparently. There needs to be balance between understanding and respecting tradition, and questioning it. On one end you have Iran/Taliban, on the other you have modern USA. Galileo was right, and his persecutors were right too.
