For me it seems that it's more that the few people at helm didn't really bother to learn any modern language or update themselves on theory so it feels like slighty nicer 90's language, not something developed recently.

And their weird entrenchment in "doing things the way plan9 did"

Hell, how you design a statically typed language and go "nah, we don't need sum types! That's too complex!"...
I don’t agree that making personal sacrifices, even small ones, generally makes people _less_ invested in an issue.
Yes our solution was to make all fallback functions into tail calls. It solves the problem, but requires a lot of discipline and can be a bit awkward.

I recently saw this, which is a very interesting approach for using non-tail-call fallback functions without trashing the code: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/v8/v8/+/4116584

My friend's brother in law was a river guide- 25 years old, arms like tree trunks, wearing his life jacket and helmet, and with years of experience. Drowned anyway while kayaking one summer afternoon. It was a terrible loss, he was a wonderful person. Rivers are dangerous.

Your response to my comment is as irrelevant to the original one you posted.

I never said anything about "regulation being inherently bad" or "all regulation should be abolished". I certainly never said or implied anything remotely along the lines of "slavery-adjacent things should be legal".

Please make sure that your comments actually have a connection to the thing you're commenting on before posting them.

Lots of sites do this. Lately for me there's

I'm mixed on it. It means it's mostly useless for having your own list of creations because you have to manually store the URLs (PITA) and you need to store them somewhere accessible if you want to repo the UX of the site actually storing them where you can more easily access them from anywhere.
Yeah, this is incredibly bizarre, to the point of being hard to believe
I think you might be reading the wrong books. Admittedly many of the latest nonfiction books (especially tech books) are 90% fluff, but this is hardly universal
I'd agree, and not being connected to a good ground helped.
Could not agree more. I also find that I don't retain information that I read on a screen but I retain information from print media quite well. I've started to wonder if memory relies heavily on additional senses, like touch, and sensory experiences that are almost entirely visual don't stick with us the same way. I can remember specific passages from books I read 15 years ago and I can even picture where they are on the page and how far they are into the book, whereas I can barely remember which articles I read on HN during work on Friday, let alone the content.

I become more convinced each day that online life is a shallow substitute for a human existence in so many small ways that will only become clear to us in retrospect.
I never took beyond Precalculus in school, thanks for the tip!

Except that they might. Maybe your particular service is of little value, but the data about your users can still be of use, when motivated parties can associate it with other datasets and match up people across services. Easy enough to do with email and phone numbers. That can be a source of information to hop to another service used by the same user and compromise a more valuable service, say a bank account.

In other words, your idea is based on the presumption that you're only protecting your service and the data of your users you keep, but in reality you risk your users' other data by offering an easy hack.
Came here to post this myself, too. Tom7 is a treasure.
I guess that depends on Paul’s use of the Greek word(s) we use for the English word resurrection. If the Greek literally means “raised up”, does that mean the body was reanimated, or Jesus ascended into the heavens? Paul doesn’t have any post-resurrection narratives of Jesus walking around in his reanimated body.
This way of thinking is the exact opposite of what we need to do in the IT for reducing our impact on the environment. 4 GB is an enormous amount of data. It's enough to listen to 21k hours of music, or having a small dump of all french wikipedia (no pics, main paragraph). It's enough to completely travel off-line in Germany. It's enough to watch 3 to 4 movies in a good resolution. And that's per day.

We must absolutely reduce our resource usage.
DVD + HD didn't hit the quality plateau for everyone but it did for a lot of people. I'll generally buy BluRay discs on the rare occasions I buy a movie. But I'm not getting replacing a perfectly good 60" plasma TV in favor of whatever the latest and greatest is.
Big Rigs: Over the Road racing usually gets mentioned in "worst game ever" discussions. For a while, at least, it had the lowest metacritic score.
don't understand your comment. maybe I should have put and/or. downvoted because I go against the grain here, clearly though, everyone must concede you don't live in a vacuum and social/biological dynamics do not bow down to your personal cultural ones. if you've never been punched in the face before I encourage you try your very best to and only then can I take what you say on these sorts of matters seriously.
> She thought I was crazy and was laughing cause I had been conned by an ex. I then explained if I never saw my $40 again it was money well spent. One less person in my life bringing with it their chaos

I was surprised by some of this, especially this last part.

Firstly, $40 is not a lot of money. Hardly a "big con".

Second, I think the "money well spent" part is that you helped her in some small amount, when it was obvious she was suffering, and you didn't expect anything in return.

I think if she had come back expecting continued/sustained support, then you'd be right to pull away. But that sounds like the story of somebody who struggled in that moment and you gave some small gesture of support. I think it's good. Hardly an "investment to get her to leave you alone". That sounds too cynical and harsh.
This really does look great. It makes a lot of the common things I want to do with a Makefile really easy.

The big problem I find is changing process in a big team is hard. One of the great things is make is usually installed on most developers machines. It reduces the friction when trying to get a team on board.
The issue isn't from user-initiated requests. It's from the hundreds of automatic refreshes that the proxy then performs over the course of the day and beyond. One person who was running a git server that hosts a Go repo only they use was hit with 4gb of traffic over the course of a few hours.

Thats a DDoS.
I thought that would be a language for sampling from the LM. Why no one created one btw?

> Deere's forgotten the point of their business: to provide farmers with what they need to do their jobs.

That’s not the point. That's marketing.

> When you make the company about maximizing profit, you interfere with the purpose of your business.

Maximizing profit is the general purpose of business in a capitalist society. Serving other ends is a means to that end, not the purpose.
I recently went through a "re-structure", and the result was a massive layoff, including Staff-level engineers. So I don't find that as a particularly compelling argument, your job description is never safe anyways.
Could it be that by loaning more money than they expected, they spent that money and then entered into a negative cycle where they were never able to gather the money again?

I used to do the same thing as you on a smaller scale (in the hundreds, never the thousands). I noticed that while loaning more money made more sense to me, whenever I did that it was a struggle to get the money back. Meanwhile when I loaned the exact amount, it more often came back.

I lost several friendships this way for a short while, with the only way to get the person out of the guilt cycle to surprise them at some random Christmas or birthday with "my gift to you this year is to give you the money you owe me". With them later telling me that they were feeling so guilty about the money they avoided talking to me because every conversation would make them feel miserable.

Now when I loan money, I enter the amount in an app we have in common and then actually put in place a (vague) payment plan. I find it helps people structure the entire situation and since they get to pay some money back the guilt is less present. It seem to remove the expectation that they need to gather the full amount before paying back.

As someone who was/is in the circus world as well as software development, there are certain things that you can never learn without having access to the right people.

In circus, I had to travel to specific cities and work with specific coaches and pay them quite a premium to get access to the information that they knew - there is literally no alternative once you get to a high enough level.

My thoughts on the finance and geopolitics space is that there are some alternatives to the podcasts listed here, but they are really hard to find and aggregate and sort through all of the noise out there. I consider that a valuable enough service that I'm willing to pay and subscribe to the podcasts. I was also previously a subscriber to Lyn Alden's premium research service.

I like hearing what smart people have to say and I don't subscribe for "stock picks", so I'm not sure exactly why you would call this grift. It is a research service and almost like an auditory journal (is the Economist a grift too? the Financial Times?)
It’s actually difficult to do this in the UX.

Suppose that you have a hierarchy that was opened. Do you want to store all the hierarchy breadcrumbs in case you hit refresh, and reload all of them?

Furthermore, what about URLs to initiate an action from a particular context? If you refresh what should it show? It should show a dialog / lightbox above the page, showing the form / interface for filling out before taking this action.
Definitely. We still have this unfair situation today, where "founders" get most of the upside, and "founding engineers" hired immediately after get ~1% or less.
I do feel bad when it seems needless. Lost a good friend to an avalanche in an avalanche-prone area, in dangerous conditions (weak layer in the snow from earlier in the season, big wet dump on top, turns into a slab slide so easily). He could and should have known better. He’s at peace now, as are those of us left behind. I just miss my friend.
It's not equally viable; there are centuries worth of checks and balances designed to prevent voting fraud and errors vs. the ease of speaking a lie on video.

If electoral boards around the country or at the national level were all sounding the alarm for irregularity in voting returns or procedures then an election might have been stolen. As it stands, the election results match the earlier polls which is a strong indicator that, at best, the election became a tossup at the time it was held, and the military also didn't find any reason to suspect fraud or error.
This is an outcome of what they have done in the warehouses to "optimize". Instead of requiring all of each vendor's items to exist in each warehouse they have commingled them (with what seems extremely little checks and balances). All items they accept for warehouse are tossed into the same bin location and any orders from any vendors for that item are pulled out of that random bin (instead of segmenting the vendors stock).

In this way when your order Acme Widget A from vendor X you could be randomly getting stock from vendor C's items (which are knock offs), Vendor "acme"'s items which are the actual company items or vendor Z's items which they have setup to toss back into their stock from returns with little if any checking).

This optimization provides warehouse "leveling" allowing Amazon to ship local products faster without needing to ensure each vendor splits tock or shipping via warehouse/warehouse but obviously builds in a huge carrot to game the system for vendors and makes it hard to have checks that identify the actual problem vendors.
This is not the standard I can tell you, lend $40, 100 or more to someone, especially with an addiction problem and you see them the next time they need more. You're now the easiest path forward. same thing happens when you over-help someone at work so their job.
I agree, but I think some aspect of it is that we are presented the same facts as novel in each genre and if you've read one you've read them all. Whatever the case it's to the point where I quit nonfiction books quickly because I find them boring, where as I used to read them constantly when I was younger.
One thing about the Firefox gesture support is that it seems to be hardcoded gestures rather than using browser.gesture.swipe.* prefs like it does on macOS. I would love to map swipe-down to close tab and the back swipe to also close tabs if they are at the start of the history. However they seem to use some other non-configurable system.
I feel like the phrase "you only regret what you didn't do" is survivorship bias. I'm pretty confident the majority of the people that die in these situations were not happy to die.

Wouldn't this just make the failures more mysterious and harder to track down for users? Failing sometimes for no reason that's obvious or apparent to end users is worse than always failing, IMO.

E.g.: source-based packages on distributions where users may not be Go programmers, or even non-programmers, will compile and install Go software where some nested library dependency is on sr.ht. These packages will now fail and, sadly, this is going to cause widespread disruption. I think it'd be worse if those failures only happened occasionally, and not reliably repeatably.
I'm a long-term emacs user who recently learned vim for fun. Deciding when to exit insert mode has been part of the learning curve.

From insert mode, vim lets you run one command without explicitly switching back to normal mode. :he i_ctrl-o for details. It's very handy for positioning the cursor for more input, for example ctrl-o f)

Also works in evil.
Most of the scientific claims seem pretty uncontroversial to me. It's true NOx is bad for respiratory health. It's almost certainly true that gas cooking produces NOx, and higher levels of CO2 and probably some carbon monoxide as well. It comes on top of the VOCs from the cooking itself.

Public health is probably a sufficient reason to phase out gas for cooking wherever we can.
I think you should pick friends rather than choose whether you loan or not.

I’ve never loaned money to folks who I don’t have a strong relationship with. Extended Family has found this out the hard way. On the other hand - I’ve never thought twice about money transactions with closer friends. Obviously they value the relationship the same as I do. I’ve had friends loan me 5 digits for a couple of days because my Schwab didn’t settle in time and I wanted to close a property. We’ve have done so many vacations with friends where thousands are transacted and settled. It seems weird that you’d special case money alone.
The key tenants of Buddhist are on point. That is:

- Life is filled with suffering

- The root cause of mental suffering is attachment or aversion

However, the Buddhist solutions to these tenants is completely misguided.

Buddhists suggest that the solution to mental suffering is to get rid of all attachments and aversions. If you actually practice this, life is extremely boring and lacking of motivation.

The true middle path is to focus your attachments on things that are both authentic and within your control. I call these attachments 'intrinsic values'. Examples include: integrity, hard work, perseverance, pursuit of excellence. Intrinsic values are the opposite of extrinsic values such as wealth, power, fame. If you chase after extrinsic values, you are setting yourself up for failure because they're, by definition, outside your control. However, focusing on intrinsic values is resilient to external circumstances and results in higher levels of satisfaction.
Director-level here. It's great that you gave it a shot, but management isn't for everyone! In fact, when most engineers come to me and say "I want to be a manager," the first thing I say is "No, you don't."

Not in a judgmental way, and not in a mean way, but more as a warning system to say "You want more money or responsibility, and management is one of many ways to get those things."

The other thing I say is, "At some point during your management career, _you will stop writing code on a daily basis_." If you like writing code more than anything else, this probably isn't the right role for you!

We then spend the rest of the conversation talking about what their goals are, and how we can get them there. Some folks are insistent that they want to be a manager, and we figure out a path to do that, and some folks are sufficiently deterred by the things I said.

It's not that I don't want you to be a manager, it's that I want you to have a job that you are excited about, and for _most_ engineers, management is soul-draining. They want to write code and solve problems, not sit in endless meetings!

Because of this, I personally have zero compunction about anyone who becomes a manager and then comes to me and says, "This isn't for me. I hate it. Can I go back to being an IC?"

No problem at all.

So with all of that said, management is NOT "a part of career progression." You do NOT have to go into management. Most tech companies have two tracks for career progression: technical and management. At most companies, a Staff Engineer is the equivalent of a Manager, and a Principal engineer is the equivalent of a Director. You can continue to lead teams in a technical fashion without losing your entire week to meetings and people management. It's possible. Your current company may not have that structure, but a lot of companies do!

If you feel comfortable doing this, I would go to your boss and say, "Hey, I don't love this management thing. I think I would have a bigger impact as an IC. Can we work on a transition plan to get me back to full-time IC work? I am happy to help hire my backfill."

This is very, very normal. Anyone who says otherwise is simply wrong.

Do not feel bad for yourself, do not feel like you failed. It's simply a bad fit, and you are looking for a way to improve your own happiness and your own career path.

Good luck!

You're right that copying their title exactly was probably not the right thing to do, and may cause confusion. I'm not trying to hijack anything, I think there's enough room for both of us to research this at the same time.
As an amateur pianist trying to learn organ specifically to play "drab" church hymns, I can say that while I admire the complexity and scope of the organ, At the same time, I don't find the organ particularly interesting musically. I just don't think it "sounds" great. I think this explains the lack of popularity of organ more than anything else. In my free time, I would much rather listen to piano music than organ music. I remember even recently finding a new pianist I liked who also played the organ, and I simply didn't like his organ tracks.

> You've basically got make friends with a church music director to let you play theirs

No one is stopping you or any other secular organization from building your own organs. It seems weird to complain that churches were the only organizations willing to spend the money to build and maintain organs. If anything, you should be grateful they invested the resources in the first place. Without these churches, is it not possible the organ would be virtually extinct at this point?

Humans are notoriously bad at evaluating probabilities and expected outcomes in probabilistic scenarios, especially in when one possible outcome is catastrophic with low probability. Otherwise you wouldn't see so many reckless distracted drivers on the road.

You are advocating for a public communication strategy that only makes sense in some kind of rationalist fantasy world, but not in the real world.

It's not some conspiracy to infantilize the public, it's just good sense to not do dangerous stuff and tempt fate.
> Dijkstra said that if we ever had the misfortune of having machines programmable in natural language

We have humans, and we spend a lot of time constructing formal specialized languages for specifying instructions, expected behavior, etc., for them (ironically, many of them, in the history of computing, specifically targeting the people whose job is to program computers), so that's... a pretty obvious prediction.
Well, I hope for both of you that you are right and that he _really_ wants to learn, because it will be a drag if he actually doesn't.
