Independent thinking/critical thinking is valued in education, but punished in the workplace. The workplace is all about authority and dogma.

Each management decision establishes an authoritative truth which diverges from "the truth", and cannot be questioned because it is enforced by the company hierarchy.

If you grew up believing in the scientific method you will be frustrated as fuck having to deal with axioms created by people that are not necessarily intellectually inclined and are not up to discussion.

Having to spend time inside a castle of lies (i.e.: a company) is a miserable form of living, and much of the workplace burnout affecting people is due to learned helplessness.

You are hired to solve problems but then find yourself in a position where you cannot do much about many of them because of bullshit reasons beyond your control, and that the root cause of many problems are the organization itself.

Companies are a shitty version of the movie Die Welle with the only difference being that the uniform are not white shirts but a t-shirt with a startup logo. And that's also why many people do not want to return to the office.
> Please don't take HN threads into flamewar, and certainly not nationalistic flamewar,

I don't see anything 'nationalistic' about calling out trends that are manufactured solely in the US. If calling out the US warmongering of last 40 years is not 'nationalistic', this neither is.

It's more like assigning meanings to 1-6 before rolling the dice. One popular theory is that once the meaning is established, the subconscious mind somehow makes the connection and steers the result.

Of course the intuitive reading version is slightly more like what you described. But still, there's a difference.

Ultimately this is going to require legally enforced appeals processes. "But CSAM" is a great way to stop people hassling you but the underlying problem remains: it's arbitrary who gets excluded and the path back is at best obscure. It's not just CSAM which gets you locked out.

> You turned large parts of this thread into nationalistic flamewars

As I said, I dont see anything 'nationalistic' about criticism of US-endemic policies and trends. With that logic, we would need to flag anyone who critices the US imperialism of the last 40 years and its overseas wars since it would also evaluate to being nationalistic with the same logic.

Additionally, I didnt name any specific nation to elevate it over the US. I specifically criticized the US, and said that this kind of mainstreamed anti-humane behavior is not present in any other country on the planet. If that makes the rest of the planet a 'nation', Im fine with that.
I don't really understand what is a 'seat'. This abstraction seems kind of arbitrary and unnecessary?
I'm a bit uncomfortable with the fact that the ASN.1 encoding is actually inconsistent but that the implementation happily ignores that and just uses the derived values. Since these values are entirely redundant, it feels like a bad design to include them in the key file. I guess the point of them is to make operations faster, and therefore they have to be cached to make any sense.
YouTube recently removed the ability to sort video on a channel from oldest to newest. It used to be in the app. I wish I understood why.

It’s common to want to go back through a channels catalogue there must be some stupid reason like wanting to discourage viewing old unpopular videos that are cold cached or something? I don’t know. If anyone has any ideas…

Hello! Author here (again). Thanks for the submission and surprised to see it in the front page once more.

As dang writes, this hit the front page a couple of times before, and in particular some months ago in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31651881 . I answered a lot of questions back then and received the obvious feedback: "There is no GOTO, so this is not BASIC".

> Invoking evolutionary biology is not the strong point you seem to think it is. Humans have plenty of characteristics and behaviours that are not present in other mammals

Yes, but co-sleeping, rearing children, co-habitation, touching, grooming, infants depending on their parents are present in all mammal species. More sophisticated and derived behaviors may not be. But these, are. And the repression of some of these in modern humans causes considerable psychological distress and anxiety.

Reinforces my belief "actual" IQ is not testing much beyond recall for some culturally specific forms of problem solving and question.

(I've refused to take an IQ test since about 1970. The fact schools couldn't enforce it I find reassuring to my underlying thesis here. At the time I stopped, some obviously incredibly smart people in my school aced them and some people with thinking issues did poorly so I would believe they measure well at the extremes, but for happy mediums like me the fine distinction of grading is arbitrary)
Well, that would be a measure.

Very well said. I believe in the ideals of individual initiative and market economy as means to achieve a better world for everybody, but when externalities and systemic inefficiencies are ignored and frameworks to deal with them are shaped by the same entities that are supposed to be ruled by said frameworks, the whole system corrupts and devolves into a machine that only benefits the few, while keeping the facade of legitimacy, which makes it doubly dangerous.

I personally don't think this is "the problem". Every platform has more than one UI library: on macOS you have AppKit, UIKit and SwiftUI. Windows seems like the worst offender with WinUI, WinForms, WPF, Blazor, .NET MAUI, etc [1].

I do think it's just a incentive issue. Supporting a platform on React Native takes plenty of effort, so without a big app as both the motivation and test-bed figuring this out there's little reason to invest in it.

You can just ignore their messages and pings when you turn off notifications while you are concentrating - then when you are back you can respond to them. Similarly, you can assume that your messages will be asynchronously processed by your teammates in the same manner. It takes some time to get used to such an async communication style, but it works and its scalable.

Depends on the manager but at least a human is making a decision.
I think there are pros and cons to both approaches:

- Explicitly spelling out the column names has the advantage that you can search your code base for that name and see where it's used.

- When declaring a view which filters the rows in a table, using SELECT * would simplify maintenance, as you wouldn't need to update the view when new columns get added to the table.
I would like a stack trace of how you concluded that the commenter was partisan. I read their words three times, and all I saw was encyclopedic-style statements of fact.

IS binoculars are best for when you want to look up close with your eyeballs at a bunch of different objects right now in stereo retinal megapixel resolution and keep on looking until your eyeballs are tuckered out.

IS zoom lenses for cameras are optimal for when you know about how I might want to see a particular object up close, mainly for just a couple of 1/100th of a second intervals, but mostly later on after you get home and use software on it and whatnot.

Tamagui looks cool. I was evaluating it to see if I could use it in my projects. I got stuck on this bit of the documentation:

> Button only supports a limited subset of text props directly, and doesn't accept hoverStyle text props. If you need more control, you can do a simple customization using some exported helpers.

> Please note that this pattern is a bit antithetical to the multiple-components APIs that Tamagui generally prefers. In a future release we hope to fix this, but that change should be easy to migrate to.

I don't understand what any of that means, but it sounds like Tamagui doesn't support hover styles on Button components out of the box. That's a huge deal breaker for me. The docs give an example of what they mean by "simple customization", but the code is completely unintelligible to me, and far from simple.

I also haven't seen an example of Tamagui being able to render web and native React components from the same code. So it seems to me that either calling it "cross-platform" is a stretch, or the documentation is just very terrible.
If you read the response you'd realize that it depends on how the key is generated.

Is not a "bad design", is a feature that allows to include or exclude derived values, if you do so then the original values are used and the encoded private key would be smaller.

The reason why they'd keep the original values when the derived are available might have to do with backwards compatibility and/or legacy constraint

I went through a struggle trying to implement an MMI for a telecom product using Prolog, it was just not performant enough.

Around the same time, Joe Armstrong of Ericsson was experimenting with Prolog to build a switching system. Erlang came out of that effort, essentially stripping out the backtracking - wish I had thought of that.

Elixir is built on Erlang and is definitely a production language.

You might find both Erlang and Elixir viable.
Lying to avoid a loss would be fraud, and therefore a pretty dangerous game.
> The orphan rules are definitely necessary for coherence: ... and there would have to be some (likely unwieldy) mechanism to resolve that.

I think Julia, D, Nim, and others show its possible and generally easy to work with open ended type systems. I think Haskell does as well?

Though yes those come at the cost of possible conflict or user confusion, which is why I consider it a philosophical decision. It matches with the decision to not allow user code to use trait specializations in stable despite the stdlib having it.

Imports generally seem fine for controlling what gets used. Want a trait impl, import it into a module. Cargo crate features might also be a route to enforce package level decisions.

> And, of course, if you need an object to implement a trait you don't own, you can define a newtype wrapper over it, but that can also be difficult to work with sometimes.

Unfortunately that means you can't define 'default' or 'clone' traits for a type. That prevents you from using derives on your newtypes as well. That means manually implementing clone, or serde which is a PITA.

> Perhaps this situation could be improved by one of the "crate-local impl" proposals that have been floating around.

At least that'd make it somewhat easier to work with. It'd still not let end users / programmers to mix and match types and traits from different libraries without a lot of unnecessary work.
I don’t think prolog does itself any favours by advertising as a general purpose programming language.

I tried to learn it and it really screams “I’m not a general purpose programming language”.

If you take away the use cases more suitable for datalog or MiniZinc the only remaining strong use case I see is recursive parsers.

It’d be good to hear about how others see it.

To start off with, I think our elections are some of the best in the world and ranked-choice voting is a good system to use in that it's simple enough to explain and to work at scale, and still gives fair outcomes.

However, I don't particularly like the way we talk about it. I've heard a lot of people say things like, "You can't waste your vote." This is frankly untrue and there were even examples in the last election where certain voters could have voted strategically (e.g. by not making their favourite candidate their first preference).
I don't understand how this kind of resistance is supposed to work practically. Should they just go to jail then?

here in NZ we use STV (Single Transferable Voting) for some local elections - it's one of the fairest systems around, especially for electing multiple representative (or at large) wards - but it is complex because it passes fractions of a vote around (if only a portion of your single vote is used to elect someone high on your list the rest is passed on down your list).

So it's very fair, all of your vote always gets used .... but complex - to the point that the law (these days a regulation) specifies the floating point precision (9 digits)

That’s porous asphalt, developed in the Netherlands and used on 90% of the roads here. It is fantastic when it’s raining and it gets damaged really quickly when it’s freezing. In our climate the benefits heavily outweigh the downsides and we just apply a new top layer very often (once every 1 - 5 years).
It's not completely inaccessible. If you've ever lived abroad you quickly start using auto-google-translate in Chrome as second nature and finding out which are "the internet places to be" isn't that hard in the first place. Then having lived in about 3 non-english speaking countries I'm sad to report that half the content is ripped out of "English speaking" internet, including memes, but then obviously there's regional culture that varies per website. The subreddit for a specific country + google translate is a good start, but for some countries you'll miss their biggest hangout in reddit (ie: spain with the forocoches forum). That being said you can always Google "top sites by country" and immerse yourself. It's like traveling but for free.

All of this is super obvious but maybe someone that only speaks english is genuinely interested and hasn't thought about doing it regardless.

I think it's simply that most humans just want cash cows. Entrepreneurship attracts the most ambitious, but a lot of people just want enough money to do what they want and not be dishonored.

Also this seems to happen more with American businesses, which often specialize. Asian businesses tend to do everything, e.g. noodles, dried fish, electronic devices, data, wool, plastic refining, microwaves, logistics, real estate, education, lending, etc.

FAANG has proven that the specialization model works brilliantly, and so many corporations mimic the cash cow approach.

Another model is to have a holding company invest in multiple other forms of specialized businesses. Google does search and data, and doesn't innovate as much. But Alphabet can do all the experiments it wants, fueled with Google income. People look at Google and wonder why it isn't more innovative, but that's not the role Google tries to take.
