> I propose to have 2 profiles, the first a professional one with portfolio of projects, blog, articles and what's not and the second for your private views (nobody should track that profile to your person using publicly available information).

As someone involved with online privacy&security for a long time... I think almost no one on HN (including myself) can keep multiple online personae unlinked by commercial data brokers for as long as the threat model would seem to require.

If you have alt accounts, consider them low-security that eventually will be revealed, and figured into many employers' data science ranking&filtering, and their AI-model-summarized profiles they can pull up on you. Ideally, it won't be revealed before there's a more enlightened US culture of social tolerance, and more comprehensive and serious US data protection laws, but you can't bet on that.

You might also want to simplify by minimizing use of alts, and instead trying to self-moderate how you put yourself out there. For example, if you voted for a political candidate who rubs a lot of people the wrong way, either own it, or don't rant about it with alts in online public forums. For another example, dating -- without data brokers spying on some of your most intimate private interactions -- is nigh-impossible, but with an awareness of this, you can still try to save some things for offline pillow talk only.

When I created an HN account, I knew I'm more liberal/progressive than a lot of tech people, and that there's some currently popular practices in the field that I'm inevitably going to be outspokenly critical of, and that's going to alienate some techbros and employers. Having my name on the account is partly a reminder to me to try to only say things that I'd be willing to stand behind. (I'm certainly not perfect, but it's an attempt, and always learning from it.)
That is the right approach. We were sucked in by the claims that Hibernate would make life “easier”, with the idea that we could represent everything in Java. This was very appealing.

I think another factor was that for a while, databases were seen as a necessary evil, rather than the beating heart of our application (see also: NoSQL). Working in a “real” language was seen as better than working with this messy data thing. The whole “impedance mismatch” nonsense.

(I’m not defending our decision, which in hindsight was wrong and stupid. just trying to explain it.)
You can't be (a) a socialist and (b) not believe trans people are the gender they identify with

It goes against the essence of socialism and communism.

I know who TERF non-socialist Meghan Murphy is. You can see here that she is not a leftist: https://www.spiked-online.com/2022/06/08/why-i-left-the-left...

She keeps saying she is. She doesn't understand (I mean I'm sure she does, but she's a lying bigot) that socialism and all the wonders of it don't work if youre being a SWERF and TERF. Things don't work that way. You have to want better conditions for every one. Otherwise...how are we giving people equal chances to succeed?

I think the problem is the vast majority of people have no clue what socialism is. Most people have read no socialist texts, but are inundated with right wing and capitalistic propaganda all the time.

tldr: SWERFs and TERFs are not leftists. Like how people like Jordan Peterson (before), Tim Pool, Dave Rubin are all right wingers through and through, but keep pretending they are centrists. You have to act the act. Not just talk. This applies to Meghan Murphy too.

I have spent dozens and dozens and dozens of hours getting into TERFs. Radical feminism didn't originate on the political right, but at this point trans people are dying and in danger. This is abundantly clear to any dyed-in-the-wool socialists in the 2020s. Even if it wasn't clear decades ago. Or even a decade ago.

Edit 2: I had actually relevant thoughts, but I don’t have them on my pasteboard anymore because HN told me I was posting too fast so I went and walked for awhile with my pup.
I'm about 25% through this book and struggling with it a bit. It's interesting, for sure, but it's kinda just going in one ear out the other for me.

All these immigrants are going to live where? If I’m not mistaken there’s a massive shortage of housing that resembles affordability when over occupied.

Who’s going to teach them about all the fucked up shit we all tolerate daily. Christian nazionalism. Lost causers. Anti vaxers. Need I continue?

Who’s going to explain to them that a visit to the hospital can bankrupt them?

What about predatory creditors and gambling?

How are they going to be prevented from succumbing to a life of despair, like so many other Americans are experiencing on streets across the country? You think people want to immigrate to America to bag some out of touch tech bros groceries, pump their gas, wipe their ass, drive them home drunk, or deliver their farm to table meal kits for sub minimum wage app based gig work?

Yeah. Sure. Immigration is the answer, but not in the way I suspect you envision. Immigration like that would bleed the few social services left out, and something will fill their places. I suspect it’ll look more like mass murder and crimes against humanity than the romanticized plantation era .

> add center island obstructions to limit long distance views

Limiting view distance sounds more user-hostile than speed cams. I'd like as much information about my environment as possible.
I'm not sure I agree that ORMs are a code smell. I've used NHibernate (the C# equivalent to Hibernate) and more recently, Django ORM, both extensively. It's possible to get out the SQL generated by each, and 80% of the time, it's roughly what I'd write if I were writing SQL, and performs comparably.

The other 20% of the time there are performance differences, but only about half of those are big enough and in hot enough spots to warrant fixing. For those cases, some of them can be fixed by doing things a bit differently in the ORM, but often it's easiest to dip out of the ORM and write a little SQL. The mistake I see people making here is "fighting with the tools": if you find yourself fighting the ORM, just dip into SQL: the ORM doesn't make this hard to do.

What emerges from this strategy is that the ORM handles all your trivial cases, while you dip into SQL for your more complex queries.

It doesn't have to be all-or-nothing. The ORM can co-exist peacefully with a little SQL. If I had to choose "everything ORM" or "everything SQL", I'd certainly choose the latter, but we have other options.

All-SQL has its own problems. As your number of queries grows, you start to find duplication between parts of the code that moves tabular data into more user-palatable object forms. If you create abstractions to remove that duplication... slowly a half-baked in-house ORM emerges. Some projects aren't large enough or long-running enough for that to happen, but it isn't usually the small, short-term projects which have non-trivial datasets that ORM's can't handle.

Some of our differing ORM experiences might come from the different ORMs: maybe Hibernate is just bad and you'd have had a better time with one of the ORMs I've used. I wouldn't know as I haven't used Hibernate.
There is. Any game that allows trading has a potential to create a secondary market.
I get the aesthetics of wanting something like that, but I feel like the Deck plus the dock (I didn't wait for the "official one," the third-party one is fine) is close enough? Isn't the functionality technically identical, if slightly clunkier? 4 Xbox controllers and I'm good to go.
Everything outside the core product should be bought. Building an email marketing product for internal teams does not lower costs nor does it give you a competitive advantage.
I thought the same, so I tried to find Wunderlich. The only source I could find (https://www.google.com/books/edition/_/3-wHAAAAIAAJ?hl=en&gb...) seems to have Wunderlich reporting "98.6F", and then converting to Celsius:

> The average normal temperature of the healthy human body in its interior, or in carefully covered situations on its surface, varies, according to the plan of measurement from 98.6° to 99.5° Fahr. (37° to 37.5° C.). It is about 98.6° in the well-closed axilla, and a few tenths of a degree higher (.5-1½ or 2° Fahr., .7° Fahr. average) in the rectum and vagina.

So, as far as I can tell it's not a sig-figs issue in conversion, but the actual original source that produced "98.6°". It almost seems like Wunderlich should've used 37.0° to 37.5°C to be consistent.

Isn't this the crux of the issue? If OP was getting real human contact, they wouldn’t feel lonely.

This pandemic has really thrown us for a loop. New habits have been formed that are hard to break.

Lauren's outlook on social media is monochromatic, apocalyptic and incorrect in one respect.

When real names and pictures are required of everyone, cyberdisinhibitionism, the tendency for people to act horribly and without boundaries, is reduced and conversation becomes more civilized. Signalvnoise (Basecamp / DHH blog) points to this observation.

We do seem to be in an odd transitionary period as you say.

I got basic 3D graphics for my Common Lisp system up and running rather quickly using early OpenGL calls which I was familiar with. I first used GL from SGI in the mid-80's.

We are now looking to move to Vulkan across all three desktop platforms, and it's a major undertaking. Installation and dependencies especially are a concern of mine. Our system is open source, and having painless onboarding is important to me.
Yes, so much this. It’s like someone looked at OpenGL and said, “Hey, how can we take all the hard, ugly, terrible parts of OpenGL and throw out all the nice, useful parts?” And that became Vulkan. I’ve written code for OpenGL since the 1.0 days. These days I do Metal. I wanted to check out what it would take to port something to Vulkan. I couldn’t make it through the basic Vulkan tutorial of putting a single triangle on the screen. It was too long, and required too many really low-level things. It felt almost like you needed to write your own memory allocator to use it properly. It was nuts.

It's easy to imagine other structures. Whether they'll work better or worse is something else entirely.

Business has evolved into the current structure, and since in a free market it's survival of the fittest, it appears to be optimal. After all, businesses exist to make money for their owners, not CEOs.
Centralized projects are more likely to be deemed securities. If that were to happen with a coin Coinbase actively trades, they would be in legal trouble.
Back then, it was spelled "Internet". Frmr VP Al Gore described it as "the information superhighway" while the late Sen. Ted Stevens called it "a series of tubes."

The transition from BBSes (with UUCP and CompuServe) to dial-up ISPs was tedious. Newsgroups (NNTP), IRC chat, FTP servers, and Gopher search clients were as important as web pages.

And placeholder icons, red-on-yellow scrolling marquee Comic Sans, page visit counters, and blink tags abounded. (Oh, and page rings, broken deep links, and capture auto-redirect pages. That was before the era of pop-under popup pages, embedded plugins (SWF Flash, ActiveX, Java Applets (which could be cryptographically-signed) controls, and sensible browser security controls.)

Around 1996, I wrote a shiny-new HTTP/1.0 (!) CGI chat server in Perl with a HTML-JavaScript client using (inefficient) polling. The client exploited HTTP/1.0 to keep the server connection alive almost indefinitely with periodic no-op messages. The server could push new chat messages by writing them to all N clients.

Later on, on LANs, multicast UDP could sometimes deliver a message to multiple listeners.

Multicast, SCTP, UDP lite, and broadcast don't really scale across the series of tubes. UDP is "best effort" and not guaranteed. UDP's advantage is lower latency. IPv6 will take another 30 years to deploy unless a collective of telcos conspire to phase out IPv4.

I’ve personally heard police say the exact opposite: criminals can be the last person any would expect …
This article doesn’t resemble reality at all. It indicates that China’s subterfuge is succeeding. But all evidence points to nearly every political wing of most Western countries becoming ridiculously suspicious of China.

Australia’s most left wing government in a long time has adopted an incredibly anti-China stance.

The UK has become incredibly anti-China despite basing Brexit on the idea that trade with China will compensate for trade with the EU.

A couple of years ago the EU was looking likely to collaborate far more with China. That has changed dramatically since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The U.S. political class is broadly anti-China. The current Democratic government has taken extremely strong steps to reduce trade with China and Trump the Republican made opposing China a centerpiece of his campaign.

Edit: Unfortunately this article is little more than BS propaganda. None of the claims it makes actually follow from the evidence it provides. Just as an example, it claims that many Western countries had stricter lockdowns than China, which may be the most asinine claim I’ve ever heard. And it pretends lockdowns were about eliminating COVID. That’s absolute BS. The entire lockdown argument in the West in the beginning was about “flattening the curve”. The entire idea was to avoid the acute need for medical services that were seen in China that required it to build hospitals treating tens of thousands of people in days, the massive deaths in Italy and NYC due to the explosion of illness at a time when we knew nothing about treating COVID (the gold standard of treatment at the time, using ventilators, was almost certainly wrong and led to the deaths of thousands of people in NYC who would have been alive if we had the information we did even a few weeks later).

Lockdowns happened to be extremely effective at preventing COVID, but that was a pleasant after the fact surprise. However their original justification was always “flattening the curve”.
> When I asked “what about sanctions” he gave me the blankest look I’ve ever seen.

Yeah, in the same position I wouldn't care about those either and would give you the same blank look.

Economic sanctions are a political act, and I can think of many ethical positions (class, ethnic, religious solidarity, rejection of extremism, rejection of central economic controls, immediate humanitarian need for items that are sanctioned, etc..) that may lead someone to disregard them entirely.

A practical concern here would be security (not knowing who is involved == not knowing if they have alternative goals). I suppose they may have been trying to implement zero-trust development practices (can that even exist?) but that sounds like a great way to put a big fat brake on any work being done.

(Disclaimer: Never owned any crypto, nor have I ever violated any sanctions)

The exact same thing can be said of your reframing of "physical harm" to be "violence" exclusively. You've clearly never debated someone from the voluntarism persuasion, because otherwise you'd know about the concept of externalities. But here is your chance to shine: will you acknowledge the fact that industrial pollution causes physical harm and that your unnecessary reframing creates that blind spot, or will you double down and hamfistedly attempt broaden the definition of "violence" to include pollution (and a thousand other things I could follow up with)?
