It is, but only temporarily. Will you switch it over to a heat pump immediately after the cut off point is reached or will you operate till the end of its life before you replace it? If you keep operating it, will it really emit less over its lifetime than switching to a heat pump right now? Making the assumption that today's electricity mix is a steady state is flawed.

I use it for my home server and I love it because it takes care of Dockerfiles too and version changes are saved in git, which means that a rollback is just a matter of switching back to a previous commit and rebuilding your containers (in addition to restoring a backup of your Docker volumes).
>Why did Germany do all these terrible things to Susan and Patrick? Eugenics. No, this story didn’t happen in Nazi Germany, it happened over the course of the last 20 years. But why haven’t you heard this story before? Because Patrick and Susan are siblings. (...) If you agree that people who are genetically related should not have children, or should see a genetic counselor, congratulations, you’re a eugenicist.

Yeah, that's not what being a eugenist is about. In fact, it's precisely anything else added on top of that - even if it also deals with genes. That's the same way walking is not "running". It's going beyond walking that's running.

People who fought actual eugenics programs in the 20th century (that cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocents), often with great danger and personal cost, were still not for incest either, and it is insulting to insinuate they were "eugenists" through a BS ahistorical reductionism of the term for shits and giggles...

>The scientific consensus on behavioral genetics should allow us to appreciate that genes and reproduction will have a huge effect on the flourishing of future generations.

Yeah, because we got all other low hanging fruit right for making the future better, so now it's time to focus on an old racist and fascist preoccupation again as the means to get things even better better...
Thanks for clarifying. I was having a really tough time understanding your response. I thought you were saying you hadn't heard the dictionary definition that lazide was quoting, and were saying lazide made that definition up and you had a different definition you made up that doesn't match.
The point is that capital is currently trying to change the deal to win-lose and it's stupid to carry on as if we're still in the win-win glory days.
The biggest issue with IE is it was HEAVILY integrated into windows. That in turn made it really slow to move. To get IE 6, you needed windows 2000, to get IE 7/8, you needed XP, to get 9+ you needed Vista.

That particularly became a problem because the time gap between XP and Vista was huge (and a lot of people skipped it and went to 7/8/10). In the meantime firefox and chrome came up and started innovating rapidly. Chrome started it with the evergreen model and FF quickly adopted that model.

Thank you for your reply.

All I can say is that in my experience I've only witnessed (and on occasions been, sadly) the dysfunctional kind of EM+IC. I've never witnessed it working well, which is what I'm basing my objections on.

The best managers I had were full-time managers (with an engineering background, which meant they understood the technical constraints); the worst managers I've had were either 100% non-technical, or EM+IC roles which just couldn't keep their paws away from coding.

My 2 cents, anyway.

I don’t know why you think that, it certainly sounds wrong to me. Like, not just wrong in a technical sense, but like, crazy wrong.

Did you live through the IE5 and IE6 days? Does the term “quirks mode” mean anything to you? Do you remember how Mac IE was completely different from Windows IE? Internet Explorer, back in the early 2000s, was a serious support burden for anyone doing web development at the time. Around 2010, Google dropped support for IE6 (in apps like GMail + Youtube) and a ton of other sites followed suit. It made a big splash across all the news sites and all the web developers breathed a sigh of relief, because they could say “we’re dropping IE6 support because Google did.”

Meanwhile, there was a parallel world of IE-only sites. Some of them were built on future widespread web technologies like DHTML, others were built on stuff like ActiveX. ActiveX ended up in the trash bin (where it belongs) and DHTML became normalized. It was… common, and annoying, to deal with corporate sites that only worked in IE, and then build your own site and fight to get it working in IE. It was not a fun time to be a web developer.

Maybe 6 or 7 years ago, I remember that Safari was missing some of the newer features that Chrome or Firefox had, but when I investigated, it usually turned out that I was using some future/experimental feature in Chrome or Firefox, and it wasn’t a problem with the standards-compliance of Safari per se. Or sometimes I was relying on behavior that was not part of the standard at all). Nowadays, my sense is that Chrome tends to have more experimental stuff available and a better set of dev tools, but otherwise, most stuff works in Safari or Firefox with little to no modification.
IBD (including ulcerative colitis, which increases the risk of colorectal cancer dramatically) is also increasing in developed/westernized countries.[1]

It's unclear how much of this is is due to changes in diet, hygiene hypothesis, or environmental pollutants/endocrine disruptors.

Are We on the Verge of True AI? – By Michael Huemer
It's the difference between servant and subserviant.

The fact that your occupation is to perform tasks for clients does not mean you're not your own boss.

The relationship between you and the customers of your company of one employee is (or should be) really not that different from the relationship between you and the customers of your company of 2000 employees.

There is a relationship, and it is in your interest to care about what they want, but that doesn't make them your boss.

Them being your boss in your mind is something you choose to give them if you're not careful, not something they actually own.

They will happily let you think that they have a right to own your soul because they paid you a few dollars, but the simple counter to that is, do you get to own their sould because you paid them a few hours of work?

You're absolutely your own boss.

The Meiji restoration, as this was called, removed the Shogunate (=top dog warlord) which had ruled for a good couple hundred of years and re-inserted imperial rule (i.e. the Japanese emperor was again the ruler). This was done by the Japanese themselves (a bit of civil war took place for this to happen[0]). There was no external rule forced on Japan after Perry's black ships. No colonialism or external imperialism involved, so it's not really comparable to anything else.

> as the native GUI does

The native GUI does nothing.

If you lay out something and resize the window to be smaller, your GUI will just get cropped, and there will be buttons offscreen. That's not a good experience.

Also when you have, say, a chatroom where you have a huge box of scrolling content and then an entry area, you typically want the entry area to be constant height and the scrolling content to fill the remaining space, whereas there are other applications where you might want a percentage-based split. The native GUI doesn't know you want this. You have to somehow tell it that. CSS makes it super easy. Other toolkits make it very annoying to specify logic like this.
I had similar thoughts.

> I'm gladly reporting that he managed to do that and has indeed been promoted, and I still can't say what he does for a living apart from 'enable engineers to grow their careers.'

And that is the kind of person that survives purges like the one Meta is doing. The managers that did not grow an empire, the managers that did their jobs and cared for their teams are the ones that will be removed.

When an organization incentivizes managers, directors and vice-presidents to grow empires, when the axe comes down it does it on the people that did not play the game.

I do not understand why some people gets so happy when management gets the axe. Do you think that good managers that cared for the team instead of their own career are the ones that stay?

Firefox is great, but it’s barely hanging on at ~4% marketshare. That might skewed by Firefox users having tracking mitigations set up, but the result is the same regardless: devs and the suits above them calling the shots will see the tiny usership and ask why they’re spending anything on supporting it. It’s barely competing at all.

The thing is racism, at least the racism that actually matters to people's quality of life, is systemic. You're black? Higher mortgage rate for you, even if all other factors are the same. You're Asian? Then you're probably the better student, even if all other factors are the same.

The point of DEI is for you to recognize prejudices exist, we're all prejudiced in some way, and what steps are you going to take to prevent your prejudices from clouding your judgement. It's not about minorities getting preferential treatment (outside of the context of reparations which is a highly controversial topic), but making sure minorities get a fair shot. And in case you're wondering, yes, I remember "the good old days" when minorities were targeted for mass layoffs.

I'd argue if we weren't such assholes then we wouldn't have most of the problems we have in society but we just can't help ourselves, can we?

> Are Clascal, Lisa Pascal, and Object Pascal similar?

Well, they are similar in any case since all are Pascal descendants and all are specifically descendants of Apple II and III Pascal. Clascal added OO features to Lisa Pascal - some new keywords and semantic rules; you can have a look at the grammar here https://github.com/rochus-keller/LisaPascal/blob/master/synt... where the Clascal additions are framed by ifdefs. Object Pascal had yet other keywords and semantics to achieve the same goal (e.g. "object" instead of "subclass", class name prefixes for methods instead of "methods of" blocks, etc.

> how quickly Pascal and Object Pascal faded from use

Lisa Pascal, Clascal and Object Pascal had some disadvantages to e.g. C++; there were e.g. no namespaces; whatever was imported with the "uses" clause shared the same global namespace. Apple started to use C and C++ around 1988 for internal software development; according to the CHM interview with Larry Tesler MacApp only survived that long because with Adobe there was a big user; and there was external pressure so MacApp was eventually rewritten in C++; and remember that Jobs neither used Pascal at Next, but Objective-C instead.
>> If companies hear loud and clear from both their employees and from people they want to hire, they will do it if they want to compete.

Yes definitely they will.."today". Companies don't need to do anything special if supply overtakes demand. We feel we are special today only because IT is still relatively a new field and the demand still outweighs supply.

But the rate at which universities across the world are churning out CS grads and the increasing focus on automation, supply will definitely overtake demand. And when that happens we will end up in the same predicament as other professions. At that point, companies don't have to cave in to the demands from their employees or the people they want to hire.

Show HN: Ezy’s universal, extendable, typesafe gRPC/gRPC-Web client library
While working on ezy (https://github.com/getezy/ezy) - open-source alternative to Postman and Insomnia, I had requests to move the gRPC client into independent library which users can use in their projects and get the same behavior like in ezy.

The idea was to create extendable client as much as possible. You just need to pass strategies of protobuf definition loader and gRPC protocol implementation to the client factory and then make your requests!

Out of the box it supports gRPC and gRPC-Web protocols, loader by protobuf file. Also loader by server reflection is coming soon.

Typesafe and well-tested - 99% coverage. Give it a try!
Your point is correct and there is another changing thing beyond the clock that's common - the blinking caret in a textbox. Firefox used to have really bad battery usage on macOS for a long time because in order to only change the caret you have to do a lot of things the Apple way.
There are plenty of nice cities in the developed world where people making a third of that have no trouble buying homes. California is expensive, because people oppose building new housing in sufficient quantities. They may support it in principle, but they oppose what it means in practice.

Los Angeles also has other issues due to the way it has developed. The city is too large for everyone to commute by car and too sparsely populated to support good public transport. Building new housing is difficult due to the traffic it generates.
I'm glad you had this experience! :)

Do you think it's a local vs. global maxima situation? I've had a moment in my life where I had to work 16 hours / day for two months, but in the end it was worth it for me. Time out would have been the wrong advice in that situation. I've also had situations where the whims of higher-ups were misunderstood by my direct manager and direct communication unraveled the mistery. Shielding would have been the wrong help in that situation.

What does small-ish mean? I find that most small-ish (what I consider small-ish) companies had a rather flat hierarchy. Managers if anything were contributors and their managerial role was aggregating feedback for the executives so they don't get every IC knocking at their door.

> the potential for change is rooted in organizing and class struggle

I don't think this is a useful way to view it. I would say the potential for change is in people shifting to a more long-term viewpoint instead of always chasing short-term gain and satisfaction.

> Regulatory capture just is the capitalist class organizing to shape the structures of society to their continued advantage.

If you don't think of yourself as a capitalist, you are dooming yourself to always be on the losing side of interactions with those that do. Particularly if they are predators.

Regulatory capture is just one way that predators use the system to their own advantage at the expense of everybody else. But not all capitalists are predators. The immense wealth our society has was built by people who were both capitalists and cooperators: wealth building is positive sum, the aggregation of win-win interactions over time. But sustaining wealth building requires taking a longer term view in order to preserve the social institutions and social trust that are necessary for it to happen. Unfortunately, the current trend is in the opposite direction.

Qualitatively I think there's something different about the way that people under-40 tend to think about identity, particularly the people working in tech that we're discussing here. We used to have thirtysomethings and yuppies and other groups like that. But it hadn't infested everything the same way that Zoomies and Googlers and Pythonistas/Rubyists/Rustaceans has.
I'm going to suggest that it wasn't human nature that changed. Ie, the elites are not better or worse today than they have ever been as human beings

My real answer is that 40 years of low interest rates, have shifted all power to capital (not capital as a group of human beings. to literal capital) and now the workers are mad at a system setup to screw them and scapegoating the people on the other side of that system who really aren't the ones who set this up either.
