Project Code Rush

Code Rush is a documentary following the lives of a group of Netscape engineers in Silicon Valley. It covers Netscape's last year as an independent company, from their announcement of the Mozilla open source project until their acquisition by AOL. It particularly focuses on the last minute rush to make the Mozilla source code ready for release by the deadline of March 31 1998, and the impact on the engineers' lives and families as they attempt to save the company from ruin.
You should see the unsubscribe process of FAZ and SZ in Germany. It is like signing up to a gym or a phone contract. FAZ does not even accept credit cards! they want your IBAN and approval for them to charge you every month (like an utility bill) for one year. Then if you forget to cancel x days in advance it restarts.

And wasn't there a law (in EU) that signing up should be as easy and cancelling, if anyone remembers. Most of them allow signup via website but ask you to call to cancel (even after cancelling online, SZ).

I say this as a previous subscriber to FAZ, SZ, and the Economist.
According to ACS 2010-14 data, the average commuter in the Chicago metropolitan region has a one-way commute of 30 minutes. This figure is slightly above the national average of 26 minutes, but on par with many other large U.S. regions

FWIW a random survey on the internet lists Austin TX, Miami FL, and San Diego CA as the 'most stressful commutes'
It boggles that someone thought that dropping a keyword from a search was a good idea.

How ironic! I considered linking to an interview with this author about the phenomenon of online swindlers in her home country when a debate about same sprung up in a company listserv. One side of the debate was offended that the topic was broached at all.

I self-censored, realizing a factual account from a prominent Nigerian author would probably be dismissed and I would be tarred for appearing to take a side in a debate where race and colonialism were being held up as reasons people like me just don’t understand.
Ask HN: Do you look angry while you work?
So people have always told me I look angry when I'm focusing, and I figured "Yeah I look like every other engineer when they're focusing".

Today a friend walked by a cafe where I was working. He saw me, sent a pic and asked me if everything was OK. I looked furious, which I don't understand, because I was being super productive and am a reasonably happy person.

Who else looks like they're going to war, when they're writing code?
I plan on being a lifer now that I've found my current company.

1. I work with brilliant people

2. I get to work on challenging problems

3. I get to work with a wide range of tech stacks

4. I'm treated as a professional and not micro-managed

5. Pay is not near FAANG levels, but more than enough to live a comfortable life (~150 now with a career cap closer to 200)

Methane does ultimately turn back to CO2, but until it does it's a much more powerful greenhouse gas than CO2. In any case, the decomposition in the landfill aborts the carbon storage argument, as the carbon is released back into the atmosphere.
I disagree because it seems to me OP is to comfortable with his life. When you are to comfortable you can't appreciate life and the things you have. The reason some of you don't enjoy the things he listed or basically anything that puts your self out into the world is because you need to retrain your brain to enjoy things again. The hardest part is starting but once you get going it's easy.
You need to create difficulties in your life to keep yourself from getting too comfortable. I have spent the past 4 years traveling living overseas in many countries dealing with covid regulations and all the hassles that came with it. I am glad i did it because now everything seems easy. Op's life sounds so relaxing to me.

Because when your in a third world countries and living in run down areas with no warm showers, no ac and there's giant cockroaches or other insects in your bed you 100% won't take things for granted again.

Even just being in America feels like i am so lucky and to be honest i have never been more grateful.

If anyone here wants to try to recreate your Sim Copter glory days, I would recommend FlansMod. It’s an incredible mod family that is pinned to the ancient Minecraft 1.7.10 I believe. It has tons of vehicles and weapons from WW1 biplanes to mechs. There are definitely helicopters and I think they have passenger seats.

The whole thing was pushing the bounds of the Minecraft engine beyond reason when it was being actively developed, and has largely been abandoned. Still, I was hosting a Flan’s server to play w/ my kids as recently as last winter. If you can live with the bugs it’s an incredibly fun mod, and a masterclass in Java hackery.
The function of a sensitivity reader. A sensitivity reader would, for example, remind a writer that "Eskimo" isn't actually a tribe, and suggest a much improved story by representing an actual northern tribe like Inuit or Yupik. They're there to help writers see past stereotypes, and that makes for better writing.

You wish their distillation and filtration process is any good. I bet it could be repeated 20 times and it would still be garbage.

I had actual vodka made from aldehyde free HPLC grade dry alcohol and deionized water. (Remained after some cleaning of things.)

That thing literally has no taste and it's both smooth and burning sharp at the same time.

The other vodkas tend to have sugars and esters in the mix. You can detect them using a classic test.l, which shows how much the marketing about distillation process is worth.
They taste completely differently - depending on brand as well.
I agree with the adage that one loses weight in the kitchen and gets toned in the gym. But Diet and exercise are very much convolved.

Many folks gain weight very slowly. It creeps up on them. Typical scenario is a sedentary office job, family responsibilities, and little time for oneself. Calories are very much cumulative, so all it takes is some regular snacking (or stress-eating) to get the weight trend going up and, whoops, 20 extra lbs can easily appear in a year. A lot of this happened during the pandemic.

Losing that 20lbs, in such scenarios, can be done with a simple exercise regimen (or even some thoughtfully increased physical activity). One thing that's interesting is that you DON'T have to RUN a mile to burn 100 Calories. You can burn the same amount, 100 Calories, by walking a mile. It takes longer, of course, but it's easier on the joints especially for overweight people.
Bing is much more useful. yandex.ru is more useful for anything that might have political connotations. I suspect it's the new focus on content policing versus search quality and corresponding resource allocation, that did Google search in
Google started with nerds; nerd learned to write good queries. Then normies appropriated Google and wrote dumb queries in massive volume; Google optimized for handling dumb queries. To get good results today, you have to write dumb queries. For example, a nerd would never write a question as a search input – nerds would write a series of hyperrelevant keywords. Normies don’t understand keywords – they ask questions of Google, like it’s a person. So, only way to get good results for most queries is to reform them as questions.
This captures a very interesting time back when the internet was seen culturally in a positive light with much academic potential. Later documentaries about the internet became more pessimistic and focused on cyber stalking, privacy abuse, hackers/viruses, et al. It truly was simpler times.

It's confusing that Sky News in Europe has done a complete 180 degree turn on climate change, while the australian one keeps spouting the same old lies:

https://www.desmog.com/peter-ridd/

> Ridd presented a lecture based on the rejection of scientific findings that Australia’s sugarcane industry was damaging the Great Barrier Reef. [35]

> Ridd’s appearance was sponsored by the Queensland CANEGROWERS association, which opposed legislation to enact new water quality enforcement measures aimed at protecting the Reef from industrial runoff. The Australian Institute of Marine Science and the Center of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies supported the legislation, while the industry and Ridd claimed that it would be bad for business. [35]

> Commenting in advance of his lecture, Ridd said:

> “As I have been stating clearly for some time now, the scare stories about the Great Barrier Reef started in the 1960s when scientists first began work on the Reef. Since then, they have been crying wolf. […] The Reef is actually in great order. So are farmers really killing the Great Barrier Reef through run-off of pesticides and fertilisers, and mud in flood periods? No.” [35]
DDG is my default but I regularly switch back to Google if the result I want doesn't appear in the first or second search.
Is it still that offensive? The linked article discusses a peak of the term around reform of 19th century "lunatic asylums" where the phrase was in common use and had dark connotations but aren't all those people dead now? Is the term still somehow problematic and if it is, doesn't that imply that words like "insane" have the same problem?
What you react negatively to is not that the description is inaccurate (it's perfectly accurate), but that it omits the ideological justifications. Many proponents of sensitivity readers would probably answer the question "what is a sensitivity reader?" with something like: "a sensitivity reader is someone who protects marginalized people from systemic oppression and etc...", which is not just a description but also a justification with a whole lot of ideological baggage. If it makes you uncomfortable to see a phenomenon like this explained in a simple, factual manner, consider why that may be.

Media Bias Fact Check describes it as a very right-biased outlet with questionable factuality. They are also categorized as "right-biased" by Ground News, "right-leaning" by AllSides and "far-right" by Wikipedia. Maybe not the best source for neutral and factual news coverage?
I’d love to be a lifer. I want to show up, give my honest 8 hours, and then be done until the next work day.

I find myself in startups due to circumstance, not preference. I’d rather be in a slower, stable corporate environment (provided it pays well and has good work/life balance).
I am in a very similar position, however with FAANG salaries / TC what they are it's tough not to feel like I could be doing better.
Just some plain common sense is needed.

Recently we had a spate of incidents of killings by pitbulls in South Africa prompting some people to call for the breed to banned and the dogs confiscated and put down.

So, one seemingly intelligent pitbull owner took it upon herself to record a voicenote on a pitbull owners forum that had members of all races calling for black men to be castrated instead because of racist tropes of dogs and black people.

She got arrested (we do have hate crime laws) and her landlord is busy evicting her from the rental property.

There is both self-censorship and literal censorship.

When I was working for big corporations and SV startups, I was extremely careful about what I said online, including anonymously. I was even afraid to like or give a thumbs up to certain comments. After I joined the blockchain sector and started earning some passive income, I started posting every single thought that came to my mind.

My ex-colleagues don't post anything on social media. They don't even click like on anything... They just consume but never interact.

I'm not surprised why ESG narratives are so pervasive on social media; people are afraid to express any view to the contrary. There have been no negative career repercussions for liking or promoting ESG content; quite the opposite.
I recently wanted to learn more about the python match operator and was hoping to find some good blog posts explaining them and I only found low effort, practically useless SEO sites that are probably all hyperoptimised for any searches containing python... At some point I just gave up.

In contrast, I also do SwiftUI development, and here you often find tons of useful, beautiful blogs from people where you can see that they really care about this and dont just do it for SEO.

SwiftUI example:
- Google search "SwiftUI in app purchases" -> https://blckbirds.com/post/how-to-use-in-app-purchases-in-sw... (extremely helpful article, and they are only at the very bottom briefly advertising their book)

So in conclusion, I do agree, Google search is becoming useless as for popular searches, i just brings up trash.
Pardon my ignorance but how would I let people know?

It is not famous or "important" works / books.
There would probably be limited interest.

I wonder if you could bypass this with a level of indirection.

If the GoL wizards can construct an expanding and initially configurable 'GoL in GoL' grid [1], they could configure the 'garden of eden' as the initial configuration for their 'GoL in GoL' simulation.

It's not the same thing, of course, but it would allow you to run Garden of Eden patterns still starting with just your initial 15 gliders.

To construct a garden of eden pattern, you must first construct the universe :)

Senators > Generals.

The Senate has a lot of power and is insulated from the electorate in such a way as an issue like this is not a threat to them. For whatever reason, the leaders who control what makes it to the Senate floor did not send it there.

They own that - it’s their call.
I agree with much of that, apart from the last paragraph but I think it is more likely that any deterioration of programming - while possibly coming from new pressure (including unwelcome political pressure from the government) - is indicative of a lack of depth in talent across the political spectrum that is exposed under the new light.

This has been clear for years, but perhaps there is a new urgency at the top to impress their new masters.

A lot of British comedians - at least those trying to be topical, frankly suck, with no obvious reason for their rise to fame over your average pub "wit" beyond plugging away, saying the right things, and being chums with the right people; the stronger shows succeeding despite their presence rather than because of them.
Google bet the farm on their ability to do just that though. PageRank and other technologies where suppose to suppress content farms that just aggregate the same content over multiple sites for ad revenue,

I have not done SEO in a long time but back in the day (early 00's) that was a sure fire way to get your site demoted in the google ranking was to have content 90+% similar to another site. It was a big problem for ecommerce sites that sold the same products as the larger sites because often they would just use the same product description from the manufacturer
'It just kinda went crazy': FTX's lavish spending highlights lack of controls
To me, it's like saying that poverty can be solved by people either working more or spending less. Well, perhaps, but it's not the core of the issue.

Absolutely true. CICO is an over-simplification and almost useless to many people who suffer from obesity. It also ignores that most people do better concentrating on the CI side of the equation (increasing CO is rarely enough for an obese person to permanently reduce their weight). Understanding the fundamentals of calories, the broader aspects of nutrition, glucose response (post-exercise, daily rhythms, etc) - if you’re desperate it can be quite overwhelming.

Telling an obese person to “eat less” or “exercise more” isn’t any more helpful than telling them “try harder” or “don’t be a fatty”.
Is the impact different when different mechanisms are used? E.g., Covid stimulus correlates with recent inflation, but quantitative easing more than a decade prior seemed to have little impact.
Pretty much all useful areas are being spammed ad nauseam. Humans are being overwhelmed with information overload and increasingly that information is AI generated or in some way misleading. If someone can implement the online version of Heinlein’s honest witness idea that would make the world a much better place.
I mean, I had to think about it. Whether it's hugely offensive or not isn't necessarily the right question here. With the whole English language to pick from there are probably better choices that are less ambiguous.
The elites (and the corporate journalists of billionaires) often control what is “allowable” as speech with reach. Free speech is allowable so long as it doesn’t have reach. Once you pass that line you become a target for elimination like Assange. Look for allowable discourse from weathervanes like billionaire owned and controlled media like the NY Times, Washington Post, The Economist etc…

Remember when the FBI would target black authors:

1 - if you don't understand why it is important to be browsable with light/lean/noscript/basic (x)html browsers, why do you want me to tell you? That said, I should read for good how they did define the <video>/<audio> HTML elements for the various types of video/audio content (HLS, rtsp, etc) in order to configure automatically and properly my media player.

2 - Well, I am currently working already on, what I think, are more critical projects, but "never say never". Currently, I can manage to "view"/browse twitch or youtube live without the massive browsers based on blink/geeko (financed by google, a vanguard/blackrock company via alphabet) or webkit (financed by apple, a vanguard/blackrock company), I just cannot have an account(I get the ad breaks) or chat(for the better actually).

I googled this because I was confused because I could not remember seeing his ideas there (which I remember finding totally ridiculous). Turns out this was a "by invitation" section, clearly presented as an outside opinion. I haven't seen them reiterate his ideas anywhere (which I'd summarize as "it's totally OK for powerful countries to scare neighbours into becoming 'buffer zone' client states without any say in the matter"), they're very much for Ukraine's ability to determine their own future.

If you're angry about a paper publishing opinion pieces you're going to be angry about just about every paper out there because every one of them is going to sooner or later publish an opinion piece that you disagree with. That's the whole idea of opinion sections.
Servers are not interoperable by default. There is 3rd party software that acts as a proxy letting Bedrock players connect to Java servers but it'll just remove anything that the more limited client doesn't support.

They both use completely different network stacks, Bedrock using RakNet over UDP, Java using Netty (?) over TCP, so they have to be translated accordingly.
