Fair point and thanks for asking that question and giving me the opportunity to elaborate. I was saying "neo-Marxist" because the DIe agenda essentially takes Marxism and ctrl+f replaces "class" with "race/gender". Comparison:

Marx -> Use the power of the state to seize power and economic opportunity from the "bourgeoisie" and distribute them to the proletariat to fix the inequities of history by any means necessary.

DIE cult -> Use the power of the state to seize power and economic opportunity from the "privileged"[1] and distribute them to the "underprivileged"[2] to fix the inequities of history by any means necessary.

[1]: aka "white-looking" men who can't be easily sorted into a "BIPOC" affinity group of "oppressed" persons. The jury's still out as far as where Asian-Americans, who largely out-perform and out-earn whites, for example, or white South Africans belong on this imaginary spectrum. Because "diversity" is inherently subjective, one's privilege rating is dynamic and can change at any time.

[2]: aka maybe women or people "identifying" as a woman, people with maybe slightly darker skin (unless they "identify" (which shouldn't be an intransitive verb anymore) as such, immigrants, morbidly obese, trans-identifying, gay-identifying, mental-illness-identifying, two-spirit-identifying, indigenous-identifying (Elizabeth Warren tried this), plus whatever cool new identities will be discovered from now to eternity.

And let's not forget that diversity of political viewpoints or opinions _never_ counts. (Yes, even if you grew up in east Germany, son/daughter of Soviet citizens whose parents were killed by Stalin and you are accordingly wary of new, trendy ideologies - when applying to work at a DIE-adhering corporations, you may be shoehorned into the "privileged" group, based on skin color or a subjective measure of relative "diversity" compared to current employees.

Our state (KY) has not passed a ban yet, but there are 2 bills to do so and I expect them to be passed next week when the legislature resumes. The state IT dept is already blocking TikTok's website.

The way the bills are worded, the network ban will also include public libraries, schools and universities from being allowed to access the website.

I have two M1 macbooks, one that I use almost daily and another that I only use a couple times a week. None of them have had any problem with sleep or battery life, I'm actually extremely happy with them in this regard.
Ask HN: DigitalOcean vs. Render
I’m planning to build out my own SaaS tool with hopefully real users, and I’m trying to decide where to deploy it.

In the past, I’ve only hosted small projects, blogs, etc on DigitalOcean, but I’m not too familiar with devops and am in fear something could go wrong.

Would using a PaaS like Render work a lot better? I plan to use Postgres/Redis.

Would love thoughts, tips, or resources for help!

Edit: how difficult is it to actually fully manage a DO droplet at scale?
It seems to me it never took off which I partly blame on the direction. It's beautiful but a bit too simple and I had a locked in feeling I haven't felt before while using Linux (to the contrary in fact). As long as I remained within the ecosystem it was fine, but otherwise it was like jumping off a cliff. That strains the ecosystem and emphasizes available software a lot. How fun the OS is to use becomes a factor of everything besides the OS.

I couldn't really use it like that and I didn't need to anymore either as GNOME had caught up and I'm now a happy Fedora + GNOME user. It also shares a "simple" and macOS like design language/goals, but with many advantages from technical, development backing, and community size standpoints.

You’re criticizing the fact that the person commented three times. While you’re not directly telling them “don’t do that”, you’re still admonishing someone for doing something well within the guidelines and even intentions of this site, to talk about things that are interesting to the user.

Let me guess: you didn't ever solo drive for work. You can certainly use a paper map while driving. When it gets too distracting to safely drive then you are lost and should stop and use the paper map more thoroughly to find out where you are.

Source: I intentionally tried to be a parcel delivery driver without a GPS-based navigation and only with regular road map and printed out rough plan of the route. Not to mention that for most of my long driving trips I used to simply print out the itinerary from RAC RoutePlanner and ignore the navigation (it is a shame that this service apparently does not exist anymore).

There may be some who disgree with your view, but let's assume most people want the 'ultimate' goal of being 'liberated' from work in order to 'live more'.

However, that's a wildly simplistic view of things.

You can't just say this without realizing that there are severe drawbacks to this. We can't just all work 4h instead of 8h and expect to maintain our standards of living, all the benefits of our times, maintain scientific progress, maintain national security and many, many others.

The ultimate goal should maybe be productivity, and if 4h is better than 8h for whatever reason, then let's do that. But it's definitely not so simple.
What makes Forth really distinctive is LIFO, not merely being postfix. You can have stack-based LIFO human languages, too, but it's very hard for humans to parse things that correspond to non-trivial nested constructs in them because of the need to maintain said mental stack.

Having been through a SOC2 audit: this wouldn't fly. It's on the checklist of issues that you get hit with regardless of what kind of company you are: when customer accounts are terminated, the data retention clock starts ticking.

You can pick an arbitrary time frame for retention, but whatever you pick, you have to communicate to users, and you can't just change it on a whim. Normal customers want this clock short. They don't want you to retain their stuff after they cancel.
No in-app notifications, no emails, and I was travelling and not following the news closely. I don't think I should have to rely on forums to know if I'm going to have all my data deleted without warning as a paying customer anyway.

> Badco also got a funding agreement with Goodco, which gives Badco the right to be reimbursed by Goodco for any expenses incurred as a result of the talc liabilities, up to ~60 billion

From what I can tell from the source documents this is either a misreading or misleading.

Yes Badco can ask Goodco for up to $60B, however that is too cover administrative expenses and payments. However, payments will come from a trust fund decided with Badco in bankruptcy. From what I'm finding online, J&J has proposed to cap that trust fund at $2.5B. Meaning effectively they are trying to decide the max amount they will be held liable for across all cases.

So apparently not $60B, if I'm reading that correctly.

Five floors may be the best for the parts of a city where the land is relatively cheap, but I doubt it's the most cost-efficient for, say, Manhattan, or the city centre of Hong Kong. At a certain point, the construction costs are dwarfed by the cost of land, and constructing a slightly larger building becomes a rounding error, unless somehow the marginal cost of the sixth floor increases astronomically.
I asked it for "hard space sci-fi", and it gave me a book about space (not sci-fi), a book about mental illness set in the ocean (I think? It was hard to tell), Congo by Michael Crichton (not space), and one book that might have been hard space sci-fi.

Edit: I asked it again, and got: a book about space, another kind of book about space (spacetime and geometry), a sci-fi book that definitely wasn't "hard" sci-fi by my definition, and a "Cat in the Hat" book about space. Certainly amusing!
I know this is a paradox, but the fact that verb tenses in English are so simple and give so little context compared to Spanish makes them very easy and global. Pick this sentence:

Joe flew yesterday to Paris, he had never flown before, so he was nervous.

Pretty much every speaker no matter where from will use the same tenses here, past simple for recent past and perfect for older past. We have similar rules in Spanish and I'm pretty sure that another person from my region would use the same tenses as I would. But I'm not quite sure if someone from, say Costa Rica or El Salvador would pick the same tenses. In fact, I don't know if someone 500km south or west would use the same tenses. This is usually not a problem because usually you don't need that much correctness, but in engineering it can be a problem.

Because English verb tenses are so simple they are used in a way more consistent way and from Australia will use the verbs in a very similar way as a Brit, and even non native speakers can use them in a pretty correct way.

Another problem is that in Spanish verbs give you a lot more context and people rely on them, but again they are used differently across regions. In Englosh because they give so little context means that you're forced to add a lot more context in the rest of the sentence in a much more explicit way.

Yet another problem is that verbs in Spanish are super complex for non natives, and because we rely on the verb so much they may end up saying something that they don't mean. Also this is usually not a problem in casual conversations but in technical conversations it may be an issue.

Finally, English handles certainty well. It's very easy to tell how certain you are, if something is mandatory or not, how likely is something, etc. I can't explain why, maybe it's because I've read countless RFCs and not many specifications in Spanish, but this is a general feeling that I have even though I cannot give you an exact reason but I think it would be easier to translate a specification from Spanish to English than the other way around. Even if I find more often things that translate poorly from Spanish to English than the other way around.

> Like "I now actually prefer road-tripping 700+ miles instead of flying" rock solid.

I am completely uneducated on the state of EV charging right now. But for a 700+ miles, you would have to fully charge 2+ times? And how does it compare to a gas car given the availability of superchargers, excessive demands on long weekends, etc? Not trying to dismiss EV because of these factors, just genuinely curious of the compromise.
Not different from the current system, where we elect politicians who promise not to raise taxes, so they defer maintenance on all infrastructure, until in 70 years we have to spend trillions replacing old pipes/bridges/roads that could have been kept up for decades longer with better maintenance.

Except they can't go begging to the feds, because they've also have been voted in under platforms of "minimize tax increases" for 40 years, so they're also indebted.

The price is also set by developers. There's no reason for rent to increase 30-50% in a single year other than literal greed. Will people pay it? Yes, because they have no choice in the matter, they need a place to live. But it's still greed raising the price.
Apparently, I've been doing lat pull-downs the wrong way for like 20 years, using too much biceps instead of the lats. Took a trainer just a few minutes to correct me and I def feel the difference.
Restricting supply obviously increases prices. That's economics 101. Their claim is that they are doing it precisely for economic gains. Whereas I'm saying that it is actually not about the economic gains because they are giving up economic value (much higher land value) in order to preserve non-economic things (neighborhood, view, etc.). My point is that an acre of land in the center of Manhattan is worth a lot of money. That value goes drastically down if something prevents you from building above 35 feet.
> They usually have no information why code works this way

They need to if the the way it works is significant. If it is not significant then the value of a comment becomes somewhat dubious anyway as the code is expendable and doesn't really matter. It is not necessary to understand the program and if it is flawed you're going to rewrite it. Comments can add a lot of value, but there is a line where the value quickly diminishes.

I have a number of git repos that the original developers deleted - because I sync’d them to a usb stick with gitea. I think that is how you have to do it - never entrust a service, especially a free one, with your only copy of anything you value.

If the YouTube algorithm nukes your account and all your videos, you should be ready to upload them to a new account. Same with anything else digital.

My current is standard is one copy in AWS S3 which is super reliable but too pricy for daily use, and one copy in Cloudflare R2 or Backblaze B2 which might or might not be reliable (time will tell) but is hella cheap for daily use.
> I support the remark about how the scientific community made science a team sport – for no good scientific reason.

No good scientific reason, sure. Political reasons abound. But had Science not presented as much of a unified front as they had, any message of theirs would have been fragmented to oblivion.

It's basic psyops; even children know how to do it-- take a unified front and split it over arbitrary issues. When players on the same team opt for melee between themselves instead of the other team, the opposing interest quietly advances their own goals.

So in his bid to "restore credibility" to Science, he's indirectly advocating for opportunities to get two experts on the same team to publicly disagree (by invoking Diversity), thus making the entire institution look non-credible. He's outright trying to do this himself by publicly acting as though Science has a deserved credibility problem, while also waxing apologetic as a [junior!] member of that team. It's scummy.

Where Science at least tried to act in good faith based on things like evidence and data, they were competing with fabricated/unsubstantiated claims and mockery. They didn't always get it right, but they weren't trying to cause harm/chaos or derive personal benefit through deception. But clearly, it's Science that needs to atone-- we'll just ignore the hostile noncompliance and lack of critical thinking skills demonstrated by everyone else.

Nothing he presents here is helpful; it's apologetic to the point of subversive and would have paralyzed a public-health effort that struggled to cross the finish line already. Trying to derail it with appeals to diversity is contrarian shit-stirring.
> Our ancestors would kill for the ability to replace their existence by a desk job

Likely many of them did kill for the ability to make sure their children had a better life than they did.

But also, why would we need to be sensitive of their feelings?
A) Have you ever read the E-Myth revisited. In it, deeeeeeeep inside the BS, there is a valuable point about not mistaking the fact of being good at doing a thing with being good at running a business that does that same thing.

B) My point was that it wasn't really work, hence the quotes. The leisure/aristocracy of the past did need to turn it into work. They simply did it because they liked it.
Nobody is forcing anyone to go through all the different DE offerings.

Sometimes, innovation springs out of reiteration. You find out new ways of doing something, with its own set of tradeoffs, by pursing different avenues.

So please direct this energy towards something productive. Maybe write your own DE, or your own IDE. Who knows what would come out of it. Certainly something better than wasting energy on aimless ranting, that is for sure.

You're probably right. My understanding is that the primary limiter of agricultural performance is nitrogen fixation.
There's no reason to believe that we'd be more efficient if we worked less. People working part-time don't become more efficient, they just work less.

Which is understandable, and that choice should be theirs to make -- if they accept that it has a direct impact on everything they get, and don't rely on others working more to compensate for them working less.

Very much this, I was going to comment similarly.

Every discussion is not a debate. Perhaps this is what Sivers was trying to communicate, in which case, he did so rather poorly.

The examples offered all revolve around lived experiences, lifestyle preference (taste), and articles of faith, for which there really isn't much of an objective truth, let alone one which can be demonstrated through evidence and reason.

There's something to be said for simply choosing to absorb a story, to bear witness, even to validate a person's view or choices (though that last isn't necessarily always appropriate).

From my experience, some years back I encountered a ... local character ... who was known for accosting strangers on the street and ranting about various topics, generally rather fantastical. I'd seen this happen several times over the years, and one day it was my turn. After the tirade slowed, and unsure how to respond, I simply said "thank you". The transformation was immediate and profound: they were immensely grateful and their entire demeanor changed.

I don't pretend that this is universally applicable. I do know that there was no point in rational argument with the person. The circumstances were such that there was no obvious danger to myself or those around me. But I've thought more than once over the years of how a simple acknowledgement might often be an excellent choice of response.
