> the odd thing is that there is little dirigisme for healthy foods like broccoli and spinach but a lot for mass carbohydrates

You can't run a nation on broccoli and spinach (unless your population consists of Popeye-clones) while you can run it on starchy foods like wheat, corn and potatoes. They may not be the most healthy alternatives but they'll keep you - and your army - alive to live and fight another day. If a nation can not get any broccoli or spinach they'll just get some other green vegetables or do without. If the nation can not get any bulk starch products it is in dire straits. The high status of green vegetables is more of a symptom of overabundance than of their capacity to feed a nation. They certainly make for a healthy addition to a diet but they lack a number of essential things - proteins and fat as well as some vitamins, B-12 being the hardest to find in plant-based foods.
Does that mean employees can sue their ex employers for wage-theft if they can plausibly show they e.g. worked extra hours without compensation? Or is this one of those cases where it only works one-way?

I have a System76 galp5. It's fairly thin and lightweight. I have mixed feelings about it. Linux support is good. But Windows support is pretty bad. All available drivers are here: https://github.com/system76/windows-drivers but even after installing everything in that repo listed under galp5, I still have a ton of issues including laptop not going to sleep when lid is closed, touchpad occasionally not working until I toggle it on/off from settings, etc. Getting Windows working from Pop OS using Virtual Box was also a massive, fragile headache. I would get it working, but then sometimes when using Visual Studio from inside virtual box it would freeze and the VM would be permanently bricked unless I had previously saved a snapshot.

All this to say that if you care about Linux and only Linux, System76 could be a good choice. But if you need to use Windows at all, I would steer clear of S76 until their Windows support is a little better (also YMMV - I've just had so many issues with Windows on a galp5, but that might not be the case with other models).

I'm not really interested in making value judgements about entire population groups here. A lot of things would need to be considered if one were to do so. For the record, Europeans spent most of their history fighting bloody, costly wars against one another, and now aren't able to reproduce at a sustainable rate so I don't know about them having the "best" behavior.

But my comment wasn't about saying any one group is "better" than another, I was just pointing out how incongruous it is to believe that population group genetics have a significant effect on physical features and disease susceptibility, while having zero effect on temperament and behavior.
As others have noted, part of the problem here is that the engineers in question are actually not yet smart enough. It usually takes substantial experience to identify simpler, more-maintainable ways to meet challenging performance goals. If you are not fortunate enough to have a veteran engineer who can lead the way in pushing back against unnecessary complexity, you'll want to try to grow your own.

This requires some luck, but there definitely are things you can do to help the process along. In particular, I recommend allowing some probably-unnecessary complexity -- I'd expect your engineers to innovate less and learn at a slower rate if you try too hard to stamp this out -- but be strategic in where you allow it. Software that is already load-bearing for your business should be subject to higher standards. Set an expectation that stable functionality becomes easier rather than harder to work with over time. When the backend has to become more complex to achieve performance goals, ask your engineers to do their best to encapsulate that complexity, and keep the higher-level interfaces simple.

How much of that is because they forced it to be relevant? It's one of the few obvious ways to separate people into groups, so they did that for their studies. A popular categorization of humans before the mid 20th century was into three groups: "Caucasoid", "Mongoloid", and "Negroid". If that continued today, then there'd be tons of studies in the social sciences about how these three groups differ from one another, and it'd be therefore "very relevant" to a multitude of sciences. But we abandoned that false-trichotomy long enough ago that science does not miss it now that it's gone. It wasn't made relevant, so it's not.

Of course the arrangement of my internal organs is relevant to doctors and medical sciences. As is my blood type and my cholesterol level. That doesn't mean you should be asking for my blood type when I'm registering for an online service (unless, of course, that service involves blood donation or something). That's the whole point -- it's really, genuinely, just not relevant to the vast majority of cases where it's asked.
The only thing that keeps me from moving is the interview process. I am surprised there hasn't been some novel way to get staff without the traditional interview.
One note on energy in nat gas: that assumes 100% efficient gas furnace. Cheaper furnaces are ~80% efficiency. Really good furnaces are ~95% efficiency.

Adding natural gas infrastructure to a building that does not currently have any is extremely expensive, even if the natgas furnaces aren't particularly expensive themselves. I agree it's cheaper if you have it now, but that assumes you already have a gas furnace.

I think the fear for most people is that natural gas can easily become substantially more expensive. European natural gas pricing is currently ~$20/mcf, and spiked to ~$80/mcf for some time. Natural gas pricing limits you to a single source for power... whereas power inherently has many sources it can come from. If natural gas becomes more expensive... you're stuck paying more with the furnace. With heat pumps, there's options available to alleviate pricing either for producers or for consumers (namely, solar for consumers).

Also, importantly on the COP point: you need to talk about the area under the curve in terms of cost. Although it may be more expensive per unit of heat when COP drops below ~3, you have to think about it in terms of overall cost. A furnace will be the same efficiency if it's -50F or if it's 50F outside (for the most part...). So for the periods when it's mild, but heating is still required, the heat pump is an obvious winner. I suspect that the math works out in favor of heat pumps, even with reduced efficiency during winter, for many climates. The only thing is that you'll get a much more peaky power bill. Obviously there's exceptions, but there's vast swaths of the world where a heat pump is going to make a ton of sense.

> It's just basic neighborhood safety awareness of where not to walk.

Sure, I disagree with none of this particularly. My fundamental contention here is that Citizen with its sloppy text-to-speech of the police scanner plus no real follow-up on reports drives users to perceive their environment as more hazardous than it really is, their basic motivation being to push for pumping money out of people. Having awareness of your neighborhood is great but it strikes me that the better way of getting that awareness is through your community, not someone trying to pull cash out of your pocket. I'd have no problem at all with an app like to Citizen that plugged directly into community emergency services, run by the community as a public good.

you pay a price for ref counting on every usage

What do you mean by 'usage'? References don't change when reading or writing the data being reference counted, they change when being passed to a function or returned from one. In C++ it's rare that you would even use reference counting, since that essentially means you don't know the lifetime of your value. Most variables are going to be on the stack and the vast majority of dynamic allocation is going to be referenced from a single scope at one time.

The reality is that it takes gross incompetence to have a speed impact from reference counting.

I mean how many people said tech would be in a bubble until ZIRP was gone and then they'd need to "come back to reality" or similar? And the minor freakout in 2014-2015 when the Fed tried to raise rates? IIRC it was primarily in Tech like it was this past year.

The most successful companies/investors seem to be the ones which kept assuming ZIRP would continue when it shouldn't. What we should take away from that is probably worth an entire separate conversation, but it was the general sentiment. You couldn't really explain the size of VC deals any other way than "invested somewhere is better than invested no where".

Edit: Re another comment of band wagoning - It could simply be easier to do because others are already doing it, sure, but there are plenty of HN posts explaining the huge risk you're taking by laying people off to losing your best people.

Others have pointed out what struck me as assholeish: perceived snarky tone, seems antagonistic for no reason, and completely unproductive. Like, why did they make that comment? I can't see any point other than criticizing and demeaning the other person for their statement (which also seems to be intentionally misinterpreted).

Of course, there could be a language barrier (which I didn't think of immediately), in which case I'm the asshole

As the saying goes, 'the human mind is a stationary target'. At some point the idea, that average people can build enough self-control to resist all those temptations that are constantly being optimized into being the most tempting they can be, just doesn't work anymore. Nobody would argue for giving kids free access to heroin and let them 'train their self control'.
You could and should do this with Write Freely or similar today. I don't think a company’s desire to close off its ‘product’, host ads, and require sign-ins align with that the Fediverse wants to do. This isn’t like a co-op where funds are spent just to cover maintenance and server fees.
I personally remember when Soda taxes were being proposed in Philadelphia. I did and do see soda as a luxury, so it sounded reasonable enough to me compared to alternatives

A lot of otherwise reasonable people that I had known at the time told me that I shouldn't be racist by voicing my support for these policies

I asked them to explain, but they would not, (do your own research, etc.) so I never really got a hold of their logic since the research that I pulled up always seemed so tenuous at best. I don't really recall if the taxes went through or not

This sort of shines a light on all of it though. Shows how susceptible we all are to this kind of manipulation =\

I just did some very casual back of the envelope math for my backyard flock. Assuming worst possible outputs and highest monthly costs, it works out to the equivalent of $5/dozen. In my area, roadside stands and/or grocery store “free-range, organic” eggs have been more than $7/dozen for years now. My gut tells me that over the time we’ve had these chickens, our actual break even would be closer to $4/dozen once our startup costs (coop, feeders) were repaid. We eat them, we don’t sell them, and we have fun with the chickens so I haven’t tracked any of it very closely.

Says that the DCI definition of 2K is 2048x1080, and that 2560x1440 should be called QHD or WQHD. (Quad = 4x, HD = 1280x720).

I lived in a condo where the upstairs neighbors kept chickens on their deck. That was not my favorite neighbor.
They eat so much that I don’t think you could. In the wild, a chicken lays an egg every few months to once a year. Domesticated laying hens lay an egg a day or so. Imagine how much energy it takes to convert bugs into a 60 gram egg.

I do graphics programming for Planimeter (https://github.com/Planimeter). Even when you use game engines, you still actually have to understand some OpenGL/Vulkan/DirectX/Metal level details.

If you understand one of the standards, the knowledge carries over to others.

Most game engines will abstract away shader attributes, but if you're not aware of how to define them, you're probably not writing them, either. So even if you're not touching glGetAttribLocation/vertex attribute APIs, you still actually have to know how to use them. Otherwise, the assumption is that you're only ever going to be able to use basic predefined rendering information exposed from the host game engine.

There's a bunch of other information like that which you have to be somewhat aware of once you step outside the bounds of "just draw this for me" with the host's default shaders.

It is about the same level as Nextdoor, which is littered with posts that makes you question when your neighbors have time to engage in that level of vigilance. I am comfortable with assigning 'fetish' qualifier to it. It genuinely is that bad.

As much I as do not like people losing their jobs in general ( as it tends to have a lot of downstream effects ), I am starting to believe, a good chunk of current internet must go down in flames for society to survive. I am not exaggerating. My personal belief at the beginning of 2023 ( without coffee kicking in yet ) is that, social media is a pox upon this earth that must be eradicated.

I can agree with the spirit of #1 but also I think it has a subtle bad implication. You do want your juniors to talk to you and you should want to talk to them. You should also want to push them out of their comfort zone (slightly at least) so they can grow.

For #2, I don't think it's fair to say complexity is always equivalent to "experimental." We're getting close to conflating code that takes skill to write with code that has no benefits or will be buggy/experimental. The OP doesn't really deny that his engineers can write this code without failing at it or that it wouldn't improve the product in a measurable way. The post in regards to complexity is really more about the spirit of your first point in which he thinks some subset of his team can't easily deal with this type of code.

I would say that "complex" code that provides a measurable benefit and that some of your team can "wrangle" isn't necessarily a bad thing. If you want your product to be differentiated and better versus your competitor's product you're going to have to do this. If we all program (100% of the time) solely to lowest common denominator on a team(and I don't mean this disparagingly) then the company's product can only be as good as its "worst" engineer.

Otherwise, we can all get off of this site and build the same todo app from the same step by step tutorial :)
Not sure why you're getting down voted. This seems like a valid point. I'd also note that if you are connected to a larger 1440p external display, 1080p on the smaller one keeps the dpi closer so you don't have to use different scaling settings.

What you wrote is "Per capita, the people committing the most murders are white." My original statement was very obviously made with reference to a US legal context, and in that context, your statement is completely false.

> Were actual crimes committed? Citizen doesn’t know.

Often enough in my area, there is an actual video from the scene and/or police response (e.g., "police confirmed that the suspect is on the run" or "12 shells were found on the scene by the firefighters"). In those cases, it is clear that the crimes were actually committed.

And sure, there are plenty of instances of incidents on Citizen where those confirmations and videos from the scene might not be available. I just simply filter those out mentally. But let's not make absolutist claims like "everything you see there is unconfirmed and is just spreading panic", because there are more than plenty easily verifiable incidents reported on Citizen.
