>>Whenever I see people closing and opening VSCode instances, I feel like: "Why did you close that?! Can't you just do things in your editor without frequently closing and opening it again?" It feels like an inefficient process.

This is one more thing which emacs/vi people don't get. Most people don't care for things like start up time, or restarting their editor/ide a few times. Because time spent writing code far exceeds a few minutes/seconds of this sort of stuff. When you optimise for things like these, at the expense of features like full remote integration you are optimising for things that majority don't care for things that are irrelevant in the context of modern day development.

>>You can run Emacs as a server, for example on a remote host

vscode is all about doing work the user should be doing. Nobody should be spending lots of times, in case of emacs that's often weeks to months of effort configuring and tweaking things that should come and work right out of the box.

So, apparently PBO registration was very recently ruled illegal in the EU: https://www.transparency.org/en/press/global-civil-society-o...

My personal opinion is that this is a terrible decision. Anonymous speech - which requires privacy - is valuable for democracy; but anonymous power is corrosive to it. So we should treat these two things as mutually exclusive. If you are wielding the power of the state or a monied corporation, you should be surrendering your privacy in the process.
Is there a legitimate concern that they won't figure it out? This is just an exercise in engineering, and they've been expanding the grid for decades. The kind of growth required to support EVs even if every single car sold today was electric is entirely within the bounds of past success. How is it glib to assume that power engineers are capable of engineering a grid that can support our needs?

Plugging in a book aimed at developers for design - refactoring ui, which is also written by the tailwind author to help developers approach design easily. Highly recommended book.
I will check out the books you mentioned. Judging from the books and your experience, it seems like maybe what changed for you was taking it all a little less seriously, which resonates with me. I do get the sense that some people approach life a bit more like a game, where sadness, joy, and fun are just naturally a part of the journey -- nothing more, nothing less. Thank you for your kind words.
The fact that I can upload images and gifs to create demos made this useable for me as my demo I'm trying to create is for desktop software. Looks really solid, I'll likely convert to a paid customer once I have a bit more time tinkering.
It's interesting to see how popular this saga is, with punch by punch updates in the main tech communities.

Now, losses may be piling up - but Twitter was always unprofitable. Burning money at a higher rate - and even finding new ways to lose it (impending fines due to no moderation seem imminent from the EU) - still doesn't appear fundamentally different. The workforce cuts have decreased operations expenses by a large amount - although we don't know how much.

I'll be happy to see an analysis of this in a few years - but so much speculation is tiring.
Europe’s anti-American itch:Europeans have themselve to blame for strategic fail
I think the opinion here comes from other compile-to-x languages.

Let’s look at typescript, or sass. There is (afaik) no construct in the underlying js or css that cannot be represented using them.

You could conceivably never learn javascript, learn typescript and basically be fine.

So when people say “leaky abstraction” they seem to be assuming that tailwind, which is a framework will allow you to represent every possible css output.

…which it can’t do, obviously, and was never intended to do.

All I’m pointing out is that the expectation that it could might not be quite so daft when viewed from the lens of “I expected tailwind to be a framework in the same way sass is” or perhaps “the same way this framework that compiles using sass is”.

It’s like if I was using vue, and found that the template language can’t express complex logic without writing js (h() expressions) and not using the template language at all.

It’s wrong to say it’s a leaky abstraction; but it’s maybe not completely asinine to say, it a bit rubbish that you have to do that as soon as you hit any non trivial use case…

> Like most frameworks, it's not there to handle your niche and complex use-cases. It's there to provide bumpers that push you into a pit of success for common use cases.

…but as you say. Quite so. Im just saying I can see the frustration people encounter when they have the naive expectation that those edge cases are rare enough they’ll never hit them, and then immediately run into them.
> In my early twenties, I would self-medicate with various addictions

Which ones? Some drugs are more social than others. On the other hand, your problems sound pretty deep-seated and you probably won't relax enough to bridge that gap with recreational use. You'd probably be better with a therapeutic approach.

> Setting personal goals is even more hopeless when at the core, I just feel empty. Every time I try to set even small goals for myself (starting personal projects, hobbies, etc.)

I don't think 'deciding' to have a hobby ever works that well. It is perfectly normal to get interested in something, try it out, and then lose interest after the initial thrill has worn off. But drive comes from being obsessed by something even if you're useless at it. Avoid comparing yourself to others, which is a huge problem in this age of social media. Your solitary tendencies are an asset here in that you can take time to get really into something that fascinates you. It's fine to find this late or be lost along the way.

> [...] gravity pulls me back into the void. Any sort of direction or intention feels like trying to build a house of cards on a non-existent foundation.

It sounds very much like you're judging your efforts on the foreseeable outcome, and lacking depth/experience that outcome doesn't seem that great. Don't worry about it. It's perfectly OK to just please yourself, and even if all you ever work on are simple things, those might be the useful examples someone else desperately needs. Don't worry about the outcome, do it because you like it. Being goal-oriented is not the only way to go and tbh I think it's massively overrated.

Some of that is cultural. One approach you should consider is trying out a different culture for a while to see if you like it. Moving to a different country for a while is the closest thing there is to a life reset button. You have to deal with people because you don't know your way around, to the point of perhaps needing language classes. And you have to work differently at it because you'll need to meet people across linguistic and cultural gap, so you'll get a lot of practice telling your backstory and answering the kind of predictable questions about it (from superficial to serious and thought provoking). It's totally OK to be kind of awkward in this situation. In general it's fine to be awkward as long as you're nice. You'll also be able to practice listening and asking other people about their lives, and making it easier for other awkward people to communicate with you.

Having a solid economic situation gives you a huge head start. Figure out the logistics, pack a bag, and head off somewhere - don't overthink it, just follow your whims. If your first whim isn't that rewarding, try somewhere else. Just go be a part-time tourist for a while and immerse yourself in some different environments until you stumble on something you really like.

Nah, I went to an old slaughterhouse turned temporary art gallery when I was like ten (and my brother 8), I saw more disturbing art than that.

I also was into the 'danses macabres' at some point and went in four different museum to appreciate the art, in three different countries. I kinda like those photographies, they're not great art, but one or two could have their place in a museum (art show called 'danses macabres et capitalisme' could probably be done. Film/tv show extracts could be added)
That’s just not how explosives work.

Any detonator explosive to set of a main charge must be reliable for dozens of good reasons. Over time an as a required condition. Asking for something decays or approaches an unreliable state after time is a non-starter.

Another user pointed to a basically failed electronic program, but even then, you have to detonate the mines, you can’t just disarm them and make the highly efficient explosives ready for other uses. You wouldn’t ever give your enemy deliveries of repackagable charges.

Right, it's conflating development stage with a value judgement thereon.

Someone else might acknowledge that increased complexity is typically an indicator of a later development stage, while preferring or finding moral goodness in an earlier stage of development, or having no value judgement on it at all.

Now, of course, these are more likely used for internal analytics (save distant scenarios of hackers or malicious actors tracking specific home owners) - where the gains are a little less palpable. I wonder how much the data collection infrastructure costs Anker in terms of servers, engineering time etc. vs. what they're getting out of it.

I'm averaging every 2-3 years. With the growth of OS and application usage they tend to bog down over time. e.g. My previous laptop wasn't fully compatible with Windows 11 and my hard drive was filling up, so I bought one with a newer processor, more RAM, and a faster/larger drive. I have a couple of older machines for old software and usually keep the previous machine for testing.
I cringe to think of myself as a "lifer" but I've been doing this for 10 years so draw your own conclusions.

I've done enough things to know how rare that is, and how frustrating it is not to have it, and what a blessing it is to have the trust of the people I work for and with. It's so important to me that I feel it as a different baseline state in my body.

Usenet Ban a Slippery Slope? (1999)
I worked at a computer rental shop in the mid-90s (renting computers was a thing back then). Customers used to leave files on the returned computers all the time. My colleagues and I used to look at them sometimes. It was almost always boring stuff. Until once a customer returned a computer with CSAM jpeg images. Hundreds of them. Very bad stuff. We called the local police. They were basically useless. They just didn't know what we were talking about. Remember, this was almost 30 years ago, before the web. We asked if they had any contacts at the FBI, and if so, to forward the info to them. The next day a couple of FBI suits showed up and took the computer. They knew exactly what we were talking about. The suits were very technical. I was totally impressed.

The FBI suits came back about a week later and took statements from everyone. We tried to get info from them about the case, but they wouldn't give us anything. However, one suit said the computer wouldn't help much for a conviction or even making an arrest because too many hands had touched it. Depressing. However, he did say that the customer is on their radar, and an active investigation had begun. He hinted that it was only a matter of time before the dude was caught in the investigation. I felt a tiny bit better after that. But still, the only experience made me feel like shit. It still does.
> I didn't know dogs were used to clear mines. I would have thought they would be too heavy to walk on mines, considering that mines can kill children, and military working dogs have a weight comparable to children.

Remember that a dog almost always has two of its paws on the ground. Forgiving for dynamics, if a 50lb child is walking, it could place all 50lbs on a trigger. A 50lb dog should only be able to place 25lbs.

I would think they just use smaller dogs. And maybe some do still blown up, we wouldn’t have any idea.
R&D is not a total black box. Management sets a budget, "Scientists you are allocated $XXX this year for reagents + equipment." Sure there are plenty of unexpected gotchas (equipment X broke, unexpectedly announced equipment Y is a must-buy, etc), but more or less there should be some ability to forecast expenses. If the company is in the red, cut that number down.

All conjecture, but as a former bench scientist (spending money, not making budgets), it felt like our burn rate was reasonably constant.
Yes—Neovim has gotten a lot of press the last couple of years on HN and elsewhere.

Native LSP and Treesitter support for Neovim shipped nearly 18 months ago.

Someone asked if the uptick in interest in the venerable (Neo)Vim and Emacs editors was due to the neckbeards awakening from their hibernation… something to that affect.

Frefire
A little switch on the card might be useful though. Especially if it can be set/unset by the base station (might be getting mechanically complicated).

For example, perhaps a game that has a general flow of: players have their cards, there’s a central base station, but most play is not digital. Maybe they somehow battle their cards, they can go around and battle people as much as they want, but their “moves” are tied to the switches and when they use a move, they flick the switch off (wonder if it could be made to actually get stuck in position, to provide physical feedback indicating that the moves are “used up.”)

Then, when they want, they go back to the Pokécenter — I mean, oops, base station. It recharges their abilities (unflips the switches), maybe runs some “level up” logic, etc etc.

I mean, this quickly started to stretch credibility as far as the mechanism goes, but the idea of giving the players/game designers a couple bits of state that they can toggle away from the base station might allow more asynchronous type games.
That's more-or-less the plot of the movie "The Brainwashing of My Dad". The Dad in question is interviewed in the film. He is generally aware of what happened and happy about the situation.

Is that a guaranteed result? No. But it's more likely than you might expect.

--

The problem in these scenarios turns out to be that people aren't "brainwashed" or delusional or psychotic; but that they spend enough of their attention on bullshit that the bullshit feels like their identity.
can't speak to pizza; can speak to airlines

airline consolidation is largely driven by razor thin profit margins (low ticket prices, stratospherically high capital costs). one bad summer can knock an airline out of profitability forever.

consolidation is a big reason why i can fly to NYC from Houston for less than $300 round-trip but is also a big reason why flying with anyone but United is almost guaranteed to be a high-misery trip (because hubbing is extremely efficient compared to point-to-point or waypoints).
It's a little hard to provide good advice when you say that the deep sense of emptiness has always been with you, and that you have no idea what you want to change.

I'm sure you've spent a lot of time thinking about how you feel, so I find it interesting that you're unable to identify what potentially could fix the sense of emptiness. Have there been any times in your life when you felt significantly less empty or even somewhat closer to a sense of meaning?

I agree with a couple of the other posters that what society expects people to want can feel very sick and pointless, and that people in such a society often internalize unhealthy assumptions over time (selfishness, isolation, etc).

Maybe spending time in a foreign country with a healthier culture would be good, or trying to carefully reconsider some of the most fundamental axioms / perspectives that you might have unconsciously internalized. Maybe it's worth dropping some of those axioms or adopting new ones? If you feel like you've hit a bottom, then testing out new perspectives just for fun might be worthwhile (or at least harmless, since the only place to go is up).

It has to be a lot better than what I'm using right now or give me a clear capability that nothing else has. There's that term, "There's no silver bullet" and that makes some people skeptical of the next best tool. It hurts if the learning curve is too long and good documentation/tutorials can help. Another consideration is if it comes out as a competitor to other tools in its class (e.g. UI Component libraries) during a version upgrade or when starting a new project, which is when I would evaluate which tools to use for the project.
Explosives are not generally very fragile. They require special detonators to go off and are otherwise mostly inert.

No, retail and politics do not compel untruth. Being a shiesty piece of shit (or pathological liar) is why they lie. However, occupation isn't mentioned in the linked metastudy, and most of the studies used students.

The article quotes "small group of prolific liars" seems to come from here: https://www.oakland.edu/research/news-archive/ou-researcher-...

However, that study states "prolific liars are much more likely to work in business professional and technical occupations". Politicians aren't mentioned.
