The answer is right there in the article: offshoring.

Post-war US had close to zero economical competition for a few decades. Which is exactly the time where your grandparents and parents spent most of their adult lives in. Middle class on easy mode, a simple job supports an entire family.

What changed is that the rest of the world caught up. Middle class on easy mode was a blip, not a permanent standard. What the west lost, the developing countries gained.

There's of course secondary factors too: different demographics (more workers, less elderly), women were not in the work force making labor more scarce, work was more stable and not constantly technically disrupted, etc.

It's complicated, but the idea that uneducated labor can support a middle class family is not coming back, ever.

Honestly, the thing that made me step into this project was actually this plugin interface.

Adding support for halfway decent Perl syntax highlighting took literally 5 minutes with no familiarity with the editor at all, and not having used lua in years.

It was extremely straightforward and refreshing, compared to say, writing a plugin for something like Code::Blocks.

Seriously? Because "when you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras." It is far far more probable to be domestic.
Why compare those of us who write software with engineers? It makes more sense to compare us to say.. composers, poets or something. Writing software is an art form and has nothing in common with engineering other than some uncreative types trying to come up with a more official sounding name.

I threw all of my random USB C cables and Lightning cables away and standardized on these:

The year is 2029. Farmers everywhere are confounded by new weed strains which look more and more like the crops they intermingle with, hiding more perfectly among the plants every year.

Then someone had the idea to not vaporize a small percentage of the most conspicuous, ugly weeds, so they'd survive into the next year, crossbreeding with the stealth strains and keeping the weeds from getting too stealthy.

The End.
> the fact that some numbers of people comply or do not comply in accordance with divine law does not imply a disagreement with the validity of the law. Rather, it may be due to someone’s ignorance, or shortcomings that they make mistakes.

That's not a true premise and an argument based on that isn't sound.

In any case, I'm not on Hacker News to discuss religion, so I'll end the discussion here.
Putin doesn't care one iota about the Lord of the Rings Western non-sense. In fact, most of the people around these parts of the continent (Eastern Europe) don't care about the novels themselves, apart from a very thin layer of the Westernised middle-class (I'm part of that Westernised middle-class layer and I don't care for the books, the movies were interesting for an one-time viewing 20 years ago).

But, yes, people from the West will always make everything be about them.

Later edit: If anything, it is Tolkien who has borrowed "the giving of expensive jewellery as an act of power" from Tsarist Russia, see articles like this one [1] about how 19th century Russian emperors were delighted in making such gifts. If anything, Putin wants to be a 19th century Russian emperor, again, he doesn't care at all about Western-created stupid memes.

I'm 90% sure this was written by / with assistance from ChatGPT; I previously prompted it for some React examples and some of this structure of how to setup the env is extremely familiar.
In the 90's the notion of autonomous agents negotiating to fullfil our goals were for a brief period all the rage.

Being able to tell an AI what you want and have it translated to actual goals for agents to use to negotiate, and have the result of their search translated back to concise plain text would be great.
I enjoyed the piece and this is one part that I disagree with. As I understand it, being in a flow state simply means being totally absorbed by what you are doing during that time frame - it doesn't necessitate taking any more time away from other activities/priorities that you otherwise would if not in a flow state. I also enjoy working like this, and can relate to the feeling of frustration when being interrupted when the going's good. The most effective way I've found to avoid it is communicating that I'm "head down" and turn off all (non-emergency) notifications. Being able to shift away from work when you're not on the clock is a certain kind of discipline that is necessary to living a healthy and (IMO) worthwhile life - working in a flow state does not have to impede this.
I'm almost as close now to the age when I can start drawing social security as I am to the age when I started saying things like your comment :)

I've only become less convinced over time of the likelihood that SS payments will stop at some point. There are various kinds of restructuring I could envision, but I really don't see any mechanism by which SS payments entirely stop without replacement. We would let the real value of the payments inflate away way before we'd legislate them away. There's just no political mechanism by which that legislation could be passed.
And it is absurd to say it has no direct practical implications. We still don't know all of physics, and part of the reason is precisely because we're stuck in the wrong mindset regarding how nature works. Only a better insight on the true nature of the universe can give us the correct mathematical models.

> Why would you recommend 1Password over Bitwarden for less technical folks?

Primarily out of personal unfamiliarity with Bitwarden, although I feel safe recommending it to certain users because of its reputation with HN users. Because 1Password is my (and my family's) daily driver, it's easier for me when people who are new to password managers invariably come back to me for help.

Other considerations: My impression from reading "vs" reviews is that 1Password edges out Bitwarden in terms of user experience and features. Also, I do (possibly unfairly) assume that Bitwarden is focused more on corporate IT and technical users based on the availability of self-hosting, etc.
You can use ChatGPT to get the recipes for these:

------

spicy marrow & sea-salt farfalle bun

Ingredients:

1/2 cup bone marrow, chopped

1/4 tsp chili flakes

1/4 tsp sea salt

4 farfalle buns

Instructions:

Preheat your grill or broiler to high heat.

In a small bowl, mix together the bone marrow, chili flakes, and sea salt.

Split the farfalle buns in half and spread the bone marrow mixture on the cut side of each bun.

Grill or broil the buns for 2-3 minutes, or until the bone marrow is melted and the buns are toasty.

Serve the buns warm, with any additional toppings of your choice (such as arugula or tomato slices).

------

fingerling ramp & blistered corn discs

Ingredients:

1 cup fingerling ramps (or green onions), trimmed and chopped

1 cup fresh corn kernels

4 plums, pitted and quartered
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp honey
Instructions:

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture over the plums and set aside.

In a separate small bowl, mix together the butter and honey. Set aside.

On a grill-safe pan, place the fingerling ramps and corn kernels in a single layer. Grill for 3-4 minutes, or until the ramps are slightly wilted and the corn is starting to blister. Remove the pan from the grill.

Place the plums on the grill, skin side down. Grill for 2-3 minutes, or until the plums are tender and slightly caramelized.

Remove the plums from the grill and brush with the honey butter mixture.

To serve, place the grilled plums on top of the grilled ramps and corn. Serve hot and enjoy!
Evil, but strong. The two often go together.
Those aren't so bad, they're reasonably intuitive to anyone who knows how to read an analog clock, and though they're easily fat fingered, you do one click for hour, one for minute and AM/PM in the non 24h versions. Imagine a scrolling time picker where you couldn't scroll the hours, only the minutes. That's what common date pickers are like.

SDL will let you push geometry directly without needing OpenGL now with its geometry API, and I think all of its drawing functions use that by default now. I don't know if that's adequate compared to OpenGL but it isn't entirely CPU bound. Dear ImGUI's SDL renderer uses it.
OP claimed that Comma's approach would be able to handle edge cases better, but I don't think it's fundamentally a solution to that problem. Tesla is struggling with the same tech limitations certainly.
Not every step needs to be automated, no. What's wrong with the way it is right now? I hand over my passport at the airport, it has my fingerprints saved on it and they can check those against whatever databases they have. No need to access European databases.

The US government has just lost databases with biometric data of millions of afghan people, together with the information whether they worked for the ISAF forces which puts those peoples life in immediate danger. When confronted with that, the US government did not indicate that they care about it.
Yeah, most of them have, in my country, called Licensed for Professional Practice while software engineers don't. If developers were to stay comply with standard quality, we would get license cancelled very fast. For example, look at how frontends don't like to talk about engineering metrics like memory / size / perf etc, it's as if this is literally a fashion industry.
Can people from the periphery still get power in Russia? In the Soviet Union, many did:

Also been thinking this.

What I want from a text editor is:

- Like you said, running tasks with a button/keybind, easily customizable (Like I wanna open a config file, add a function/script, bind to key/create UI button, done, not make a "plugin" not compile an "extension" or anything like that)

- Fuzzy finding/search - ripgrep and fzf can do that, so just bundle those I guess, or write my implementation of those.

- Must start instantly, load files instantly, every action needs to takes at most 100 ms.

- Be a "portable application", i.e it sits in a folder with everything it needs and I can copy that folder to any computer and be up and running with exactly the same configuration.

and NOTHING else.

Perfect. In that case I'll be trying it out on a headless machine soon.

It's a bit more complicated to add the OpenGL renderer, because of subpixel font rendering. You need to sample the framebuffer to do it correctly in all cases, as well as a custom shader. It's on the list of things to do, but as you say, CPUs are generally powerful enough these days; so it's not super high-priority at the moment.
0) I typically only swiped right on girls who seemed to be actually interested in dating. This meant reading their profiles. If she has her IG in her bio, left swipe.

1) EXCELLENT photos of you. If you believe you're not good-looking, you're wrong, take better photos, get a better haircut (and if you're balding severely, shave that shit), change your clothes style. Look at how the girls do it on their IGs. Longer term its also a good idea to work out/lose weight/clear up facial skin if possible (although both can be edited in your favor with some photoshop).

2) Pickup line: make it catchy, short, personal to her, funny, and somewhat risky/raunchy. combine those and usually you're much more likely to get a response after a match even if she's not really interested at first (this is where ChatGPT can help, this is actually somewhat difficult bc of how little some girls will put on their profiles). Depending on whats there though, you could make puns about her name, risky comments about other people in her photos, etc.

3) Texting game. Keep replies witty and short. Once you've gotten a few responses in, ask her to move the convo to text messages. Number acquired.

4) Text some more. Move relatively quick (within an hour or so). Ask her on a COFFEE date at a place of her choosing (if she prefers tea or if she prefers you choose the place, thats fine too). Asking her to choose the place is good signal you're not a creeper. Asking her to a short coffee date keeps things simple in case she, or you, do not like the vibes.

5) Assuming you've made it this far, absolutely do not miss the date. Check with her a day before you go that things are still on. Also its a good idea to continually text back and forth with her throughout the week. Again, keep it short and witty, you don't owe her anything (and neither she you).

6) Go on the date, fall in love, get married, have 2.5 kids, yadayadayada (JK, this is where things get really hard but I'm not gonna write a novel for ya).

You'll find that almost all airlines keep staff on call in various places and with various reporting times, because already at very small scale, you'll have some crew not making it to work for whatever reason all the time.

Maintaining right sized and right placed operational buffers is an entire sub-category of within airline scheduling software/consultancy.

Those buffers will never cover a major disaster of course. They should let you hit your on-time and cancellation targets at smallest possible cost, though.
I'm running ubuntu server on my 3b as well, and other than some initial networking finagling, it's been painless.
Yes because it’s not like Apple already has been shipping iOS based devices that support USB C that can be used with any USB C cable and supports all the relevant standards including video over USB C.

Also, Apple will be forcing all Mac apps to go through the Mac App Store any day now. Since it introduced the Mac App Store a decade ago.

This should be celebrated!

I don’t think there will be negatives. There are only positives that can come with this.

- lots of people can’t take it anymore living in this cruel world without good job and economic prospects, or looking at the bleak environmental future

- less people on Earth will make the Earth have a chance of recovering

- labor will be more valued, less competition

- less demand for housing, making housing cheaper

- less demand for education, goods and services, making it lower in price

- less strain on the economy by people who can’t contribute

- we can donate the organs to healthy people who need it more

- we can use bodies for science
Persuasively communicating cost-savings in a budget increase request?

I'm so sorry to inform you, but you have management written on you.

While the article makes some good points I still prefer having a laptop with a decent desktop setup (docking station with external monitor and wired networking, mouse, keyboard; the laptop sits on a stand and doubles as a second display) my two main reasons are : I only need to manage a single machine (I have little time or patience to look after a flock of computers) and when I do need to travel I just unplug the laptop and off I go.

She's not confused, the RIC literally is the recycling symbol by any useful definition of the word "symbol". The plastic industry intentionally adopted it in order to lie to their customers.

Another example of a symbol is a stop sign. When you see a stop sign with a slightly different color or font than you're used to, you (correctly) think "that's a stop sign, I should slow to a stop before proceeding". You don't think "that orange octagon that says STOP isn't the exact vector image that I saw in the textbook, so it could mean anything and I will just ignore it".

It's like if I bought fat-free milk that actually had fat in it, and the company said "oh you must have been confused, Fat-Free™ is our line of products for those who feel liberated to consume as much fat as they want".
> I still think it's less likely to get banned from gmail than my local hdds to fail

Uhh the whole discussion is about exactly this problem which you've decided won't happen to you because ... ?

Thunderbird rules and isn't going away, and makes things like blocking remote images easy (as opposed to gmail where you lose basic UX if you turn it off so most people don't).

What's more, gmail's basic features have really suffered in the last 10+ years. I search 20 years of email in Thunderbird faster and more efficiently than the bloatware POS gmail is now.

But best of all, I don't use gmail! I never have to worry about the nightmare scenarios presented here and nobody spies on my email (other than the NSA :) )

Oh -- physical backups rule too. From rotating through various drives my email is backed up at least 16 times over.

The examples given in this article are extremely weak, e.g.:

* "Meta announced plans to make staffing cuts on September 21st, just days after Queen Elizabeth’s funeral service broadcast across the globe and the associated news cycle."

* "Meta then also announced layoffs on November 9th, in the middle of the U.S. midterm election cycle."

Yeah, shit happens around the world, but saying Meta is somehow trying to hide bad news because they announced some layoffs "days after Queen Elizabeth’s funeral service" is a pretty ridiculous stretch. It's like those jokes about adding up random numbers and then saying "ILLUMINATI" when you've become convinced of your own made up conspiracy theory.
