I teach outdoor ed for a program where kids come for a week at a time, so I get to see thousands of kids per semester. I would very much agree with this statement. Overall, Ive experienced that today's youth is largely very empathetic and kind, much moreso than I was as a kid, but anxiety absolutely plagues them.

A very notable exception to this is the rich/well off kids Ive been with. They very much do not show the same empathy as even the middle class type kids (or upper middle class) that I work with. There is definitely a massive divide there.

The location of the school also has a significant impact on this too.
I purchased a table and a store, and they needed my email address to contact me about delivery.

turns out they use square, and now when I use that credit card with unrelated purchases, square will email me.

so I get email from unrelated vendors.

I contacted them to stop this - and they didn't do it. waste of time.

So I don't pay with a credit card for businesses that use square.
I come from working with mostly golang for the past decade and have been very happy with it and its concurrency capabilities, but after playing with elixir for the past couple of weeks, I realize there's something to this, especially in terms of what it has to offer for distributed computing. Very cool to hear that they're working on making it more performant!
I completely agree with the advice in this article, in a slightly different way. I write a blog, which is more or less like an online journal for me to dump my emotions into. However, I don't end up publishing all of my journal entries, and not even in the correct chronological sequence. I write a lot of shitty first drafts. *The idea is to dump all your ideas without prejudice against imperfection*. Eventually, a few weeks later I pick up those terrible first drafts again and rewrite them.
How would these compare to a stabilized camera, like the Nikon P1000?

I understand you can't use both eyes, but for that price you get a very long zoom (~3000mm equivalent) and can take photos.

Not that it _should_ be this way, but me and my friends would scooter/bike to school all the time in elementary/junior high (~2002-2008) and it was easily a few miles each way in Western Washington (not rural).

I don't plan on having kids but I wonder if I'd let them do that today.

Now that I think of it, I'm not sure I ever told my parents I did that.

The taxi companies in my hometown don't give a flying toss about complaints.

The customer essentially has no power of making an informed choice when it comes to picking a driver. A driver might have been complained about 800 times in the last year, but you can't know that, and therefore it can't be used against the driver.

A frequently complained driver brings the same amount of money to the company as a well-behaved one, so as long as they don't cause any legal trouble, the companies don't care and don't act.

This is what I don’t get about google. I was all in on their ecosystem but then things like google speakers not working with google work calendars despite thousands of requests for 5 plus years.

I’ll think about it
Another thing I am concerned about is the removal of default integration with FE build pipeline and npm libraries. I understand the complexity of the pipeline, and Rails is doing the same. But the difference is that Rails has a replacement in place (importmap), while Phoenix recommends vendoring the lib. In additional, Rails has suitable replacement for the use case (hotwire) and a clear focus on the philosophy of productivity. I am not sure why Phoenix did the same things without a clear path forward.

Fuller wasn’t a con artist. He certainly had a few ambitious projects that went poorly, but he believed in them and made every effort to deliver on them. He was skilled at building hype and publicity around his projects, and directing attention away from negative aspects, but that is the type of skilled PR necessary to succeed in projects like that, and isn’t lying.
It wasn't designed to be inspiring. That is nonsense. Non of the designers involved would ever claim that's what they did.

It was designed in an environment they couldn't iterate and test, and tried to go from very little knowlage directly to a massively complex system.

And no only that, they were very limited in terms of funding, so anything that required to much development had to be kicked.
Wouldn't investment in automation solve that?
> My understanding is that calculating ranked choice isn’t the easiest thing to do.

It really isn't easy. There's an outer for loop that adds significant complexity because you need to do a reduce sum and pop the argmin each time. The more complex the system is, the easier for mistakes. There are plenty of voting systems (see Cardinal Voting) that don't have this computational penalties and can simply be argmax(reduce_sum(votes)).

> Ranked choice voting is, to my knowledge, the most representative process to elect. No vote is wasted.

I highly encourage you to look into more voting systems then. Especially because there are many versions of "ranked choice" voting. I should note that Australia's system is slightly different than what many American states are doing despite them looking the same. There are also Condorcet voting systems (which are ranked/ordinal) and are far more representative. But many people advocate for cardinal systems because you get the same properties as ranked (and some more like handling a strong spoiler -- there are strong and weak spoilers btw) but are far more computationally efficient. The common ranked systems aren't that great on that representation front but as far as ordinal systems are concerned they are computationally simple.

Definitions:

- Ordinal voting: systems where candidates are ordered or ranked in comparison to other candidates.

- Cardinal voting: systems where candidates are assigned a score or preference value independent of other candidates.
You turned large parts of this thread into nationalistic flamewars and broke the site guidelines in countless egregious ways. That's vandalism and abuse. We ban accounts that wreck threads like this.

I appreciate that child-rearing is an intensely emotional topic and that standards differ between countries, but that doesn't make it ok to pour dozens of flamewar comments into a thread about it. Please see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34194158 also.

I took a quick look at your recent comment history and fortunately didn't see other cases of this, so it should be easy to avoid in the future. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
Elixir does have a very good autocomplete despite the dynamic typing, it's probably the best autocomplete I've ever seen for a non typed language.

The reason for that is simple, the language works with modules and data pipes, not objects which means there's way less magic to parse

As a vegetarian, I never eat supermarkup or fast food labelled 'vegetarian' or 'vegan'.

There are so many good quality fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes that provide all I need.

The dangers of supermarkup and fast food are that they are full of salt and manufactured flavours. They are designed around profit and patents over consumer health.

Last time I did buy a 'vegan' bean burger from a supermarkup it made me sick. I got a pounding headache. Just stick to the real food that has served us for centuries and learn how to cook it well. India does vegetarian/vegan food really well (not in western Indian restaurants though).

The stats on the Impossible/Beyond are not too bad - though I wonder where they get the saturated fat from? If I wanted saturated fat I would use butter or ghee - it does taste good!

I was in college early '90s in CS&E (Comp Sci & Engg) and we were taught Pascal first, COBOL and then C. Pascal and COBOL in the second year and C in the third year. C++ was already there, and gaining traction and I taught myself C++ (through the Annotated C++ Reference by Stroustrup). By the time I graduated most jobs were expecting C/C++ coding skills and my first job involved coding in C++.

Nothing compares to the raw power and control we get with C.

Around '97-98 Java was all the rage. Then Bill Gates did his internet pivot and we had .NET arriving in the '00s. The allure of being able to program in any framework language and interoperate looked like a good thing.

Over the last 20+ years I had been in the .NET world and just this year I went back to writing in C and it all came back. It is quite refreshing to be completely responsible for every aspect of your code's working. While it is sometimes tedious, nothing beats the power and control of working close to the machine abstraction.

Just my 2cents.

You seem to be saying that you don't feel you're succeeding unless you have a creator-level social presence with fans oohing and ahhing about your coding prowess.

Sorry to be stark about it, but that's the problem right there. Why do you need to be singularly noticed? Most people in general aren't. It's not a rut. It's a gazillion people who are all aiming at being at the top of the curve, and a certain smaller portion of them with the funds to make an attractive package with their dreams that will be shown forever as a YouTube suggested video.

The most productive folks out there aren't dividing their time trying to please an audience through entertainment. They're usually part of a team and take pride in the product they and their team are working on. Much less pressure than judging your value in comparison to an online celebrity.

The author of The Wandering Inn [1], a web serial, has been trying to write less the past few months (the past year?). They peaked around 80k words/week, and have been aiming closer to 30-40k words/week with more breaks. They've had mixed success (e.g. last week they wrote and released 70k).

They only post updates/reflections on their progress towards this goal in the author's notes on the biweekly chapter releases, so I'm not sure how you could follow along, if that's what you're looking for. I guess you could just follow the releases and only read the notes. Or you could try catching up haha.

This argument is also a holdover from a time where supply chain attacks weren't considered a serious threat.
Actually, I now know what seemed so weird to me. If they had planned to sell a bag for $x (41 or 41/case_size) retail, but now realized that was per case not per bag, this would have reduced their profitability by a lot or completely killed it. Since there is no mention of this in the story (it was only a bout the size of the order), I'm still believing that they thought their per-bag profit was unchanged by the now larger order (otherwise they would have mentioned it or immediately renegotiated the deal).

I guess we'll never know unless we see the order details...

You also posted a large number of flamewar comments to this thread and broke the site guidelines very badly and repeatedly yourself.

What's worse, you hounded unity1001 in a variety of different places, which is a whole other form of abuse. That sort of spat is emphatically not what this site is for, so please don't do it again.

If someone else's comments are driving you crazy, the tools to use are downvoting and flagging—not commenting, as the site guidelines say ("Don't feed egregious comments by replying; flag them instead.") - and certainly not showing up to flame them in multiple places.

Ask HN: Duplicate Real Estate Listings
I live in a city where house prices have been increasing tremendously over the past years. Unfortunately most of the prices are artificially inflated by real estate agencies who sometimes charge even 100k more than the owner’s initial request.

Navigating these listings has proven unnerving to say the least. Especially when multiple agencies post the same property shot from different angles.

I would love to scrape those listings and be able to identify all pictures depicting the same house. The scraping part is easy enough, but how should I proceed with the image grouping/recognition. Is there any trained model that is able to say if the pictures belong to the same house?

Please note that the agencies will not post the exact address and most of the time they will do interior shots only. This prevents the potential buyer to go knock at the owner’s door.

This year I'm focused on trying to grow my Patreon. It's for a niche NES game development hobby that I don't expect to pick up any real steam, but I'd like to see if I can get enough side income from it to de-stress my day job a bit, let me consider a soft-retirement down the line where my primary income isn't the only thing keeping the ship afloat.

Do you get to return condom boxes at CVS ?

> It’s worth more than the value of the product to be the vendor that got me laid.

This is of course the key. Is it actually worth more to them ?

To jest, if for instance you were ready to give up on Amazon and go buy everything from Wallmart at the first sign Amazon isn’t treating you well enough, and expect to be buying high brand goods at lower than market price, your LTV will probably be pretty low to Amazon. And of course, as you don’t like their condoms, you’re also basically dead to the seller.

On the other hand, if you were willing to eat up the price of a box of condoms, see high value in the Amazon experience, will continue to buy Amazon stuff even if there’s occasional hiccups, you’re a ton more valuable to Amazon. But then their real value to you won’t be wether they force the seller to accept the return, but probably wether they can get you a box of a different brand ASAP.
Been a golang dev for a long time, although got out of it recently (I got very tired of it). Many contributions to k8s in the early days, etc.

Thing I find the most frustrating about golang is the community. It almost seems to be made of people who never used another programming language in their life. Defense of things like lack of generics, lack of a good collections library, lack of good error handling, lack of good dependency management, etc. It's so bizarre to me.

As a former Java dev, we all at least admitted the flaws of the language and came up with ways to deal with it (see Effective Java).
