I think I disagree with both of your points:

> There’s simply no possible way for a minority of such a small size to make any waves happen anywhere, not even on anything as small as a popular video game.

There's an old quote - "Never assume a small group of dedicated individuals can't change the world. Its the only thing that ever has."

The radical left - for all that they're championing the rights of a small group of people, has been very effective at kicking up a fuss about diversity, inclusion and trans rights. It doesn't feel like a tiny fringe movement:

- Apparently most researchers and professors at a lot of universities now need to make "diversity and inclusion statements". Stanford is banning a lot of language. So is Google and other big companies.

- Authors like Roald Dahl are having their work retroactively edited to "meet modern norms".

- The pushback against this stuff is becoming a major rallying call for America's right. Now the american conservatives accomplished most of their big policy objectives in most states (concealed carry, banned abortions, etc). What can they use to "energize the base"? Fighting this stuff is being turned into a tool to get conservatives to the polls. (Source: The economist podcast.)

I'm not sure what the lived experience has become for trans people - but the fight for trans rights (as part of the fight for diversity and inclusion) seems to have made massive waves all over the place.

> The thing with hogwarts legacy is that the minorities who are affected are like 1% of the population.

The only people affected by your decision to buy Hogwarts Legacy are the developers involved. I promise you, JK Rowling won't notice the extra 50 cents in her pocket if you buy, or don't buy the game.

If you want to support trans people, do that by supporting them. The lives of trans people are unaffected by your steam purchasing decisions.
Currently I'm doing BGP over a wireguard VPN back to a couple of VPS providers. Actually, I only run OSPF to my home, the BGP part only happens on the VPS side. The tunnel does add about ~8 ms of latency worst case.
Handheld multimeter is what i played with when i was a child, there is always one sitting in my dad’s drawer. So it was a first piece of equipment i bought when i started doing electronics work.
I echo others here in the sense that “mastering programming” is not well defined. It’s interesting to try to define what that might be though. For example, I know people who would qualify as “master Java programmers” if there ever was one, but that doesn’t make them “master programmers”.

I think that in my life I have met one person that I would call a master programmer. He was intimately familiar with C, C++, Java, Erlang, Perl, APL, Ruby, Python, Prolog, Haskell, Scala, and more. You could probably find a person that is more of an expert in any one of those, sure, but that’s beside the point. The reason this fellow qualifies as a master of programming, for me, is that he seems to have complete knowledge of where every language came from, how that influenced its semantics, what the pros and cons of each language’s design are, and could code more or less idiomatically in any one of all those languages and explain why it was idiomatic.

Based on that, I’d say that if there is such a thing as a “master programmer”, it’s probably someone so well versed in computational theory and language design that picking up a new language is just a fun afternoon.

I am sure others will have different viewpoints. This is my two cents.
Interestingly, while I get what you're saying - and can agree that "screeching" probably is at least slightly gendered when applied to humans - in my experience I've more often encountered "screeching" applied to non-human entities, like birds. Enough so that I would not automatically make any connection to the use of the word "screeching" as specifically being a gendered derogative aimed at women (although context would dictate a lot about the interpretation of any specific case of course).
You really came back after four days just to try to spin this in a way that makes it look like you were in the right?

> You then took that as a premise that I somehow would also belive in (of course I don’t).

Lol no, I didn't. You're either still misunderstanding, or being deliberately obtuse. My point is that some companies DO have loyalty, and a subset of those are loyal to all the wrong employees. I'm fully aware that you disagree with both of those things. If I thought you agreed with them, why would I have commented in the first place?
All of your examples, bible etc, have all been repeatedly edited for different cultures and age groups.

People act like this is the end of Dahls legacy, yet his stories have probably been discussed more in the past 24 hours than the past few years combined.

I recommend the book Graveyard clay on the death on languages, and how the dead are still as chatty as the living- in many ways the dead are harder to silence.
That the former is unconditional while the latter is conditional is simply an accurate description of the situation.

I don’t think describing the conditional thing as conditional implies any judgement.
> I'm kind of disappointed to see so many people asserting there is no common, derogatory, gendered use of the term just because they are unfamiliar with it.

Maybe worth reconsidering if your understanding of the term is truly "common."

> That's fine, but it's arrogant to assume things you don't know are nonsense.

It also seems pretty arrogant to assert you know better than everyone else.
Data consistency is an aspiration which we achieve by many means, including pragmatic tolerance for inconsistency, when consistency is not possible and alternate mechanisms for handling it. Those mechanisms are almost always less efficient than consistency.

So to say consistency is "overrated" is nonsense. It's not always 100% applicable, but this comes at a cost.
Could be, I guess it just depends on the context. Emacs shines when it involves interactivity. For example, recently I was exploring a large CSV file with some columns being base64 encoded keys. So when exploring this dataset, it was nice to come up with a command to get the item, base64 decode, perform HTTP request, get the response, and display it in another buffer pretty formatted. Making a command to do this in Emacs Lisp is surprisingly easy (just need a few functions like thing-at-point, base64-decode-string, request, insert, display-buffer, and json-mode). A shell script for this use case may lack the desired interactivity.
> The idea behind the bet is stronger than the statistics of year shopping

But the fact that this bet could've easily been lost and Simon mostly got lucky is direct evidence against "the idea behind the bet"...

In the past 2 decades for example, the inflation-adjusted price of all 5 of these metals have increased.
I think the idea is that the IRS would buy TurboTax, and then write some sort of bridge that auto-populates TurboTax with all the info it needs so most taxpayers to have very little to do.

But that seems like more steps than you'd need. The IRS already must have the ability to fill in everyone's tax returns, because they're able to calculate what nearly everyone owes, pretty accurately. Since tax returns are basically "follow the instructions and fill in boxes so that you can eventually get a final number", then that must mean that the IRS can already do that.
Every gas meter I've ever had has been purely mechanical. Have you ever seen one that needed mains electricity to work, and that acted like a shutoff valve when it lost it?
Pretty much every game company has always insulted QA, it's a major problem in the industry.
This is classic supply and demand doing its thing. People in passionate industries (artists, musicians, game devs) have a hard time because there's a large over supply of people who want to do it relative to less glamorous/fun jobs which creates a supply surplus, pushing down the cost of labor.
Or just give them your card and tell them what buttons to press. When I take my 3 year old to the supermarket, they can scan and pay (contactless card) at the self-service checkouts.
The selection is a pretty generic selection of metals though. Pretty representative of metals overall
Wait, they stopped me before? I've always backed up my Steam library to my NAS just so I don't have to download 1+ TB if my Windows box decides to explode and take the drive and/or filesystem with it.
It really depends on the metro area. Here in Chicago I can get a dark pair about 3 houses down the block from me (never quoted out how much it'd be to extend to my address) going back to 350 Cermak. This ran about $600-1200/mo or so depending on contract terms and who you know. If you have other gear in the facility (e.g. transit and routers with a spare port) you're looking at another $150-350/mo (again, depending on your contract) x-connect to get into your panel in your cage.

Given I have equipment already in the datacenter, it's pretty tempting to pull the trigger on a 100G link. I just have no idea what I'd do with it.
I wonder if some of the more scarce materials needed for EVs will turn out to be like the peak oil concern in the 80s… once a material becomes important enough human ingenuity seems to find ways.
And it isn't spread around because the local government is incompetent. There are tons of other better solutions to manage the "too much income" problem.

The cities are fucked regardless with that level of incompetency.

Imagine your startup's problem is having too much money, and your CEO decides to fire the paying customers because it is too much money.
Hell, the IRS must already have a system that does nearly all of what TurboTax does, because they also know, ahead of time, what the vast majority of taxpayers owe. I'm sure they don't have a nice web UI on top of it all, but it's possible that building something on top of it would cost less than nationalizing and operating TurboTax. They'd still have to write a bridge between TurboTax and their systems in that case, anyway.
I could see myself being like your PM in some situations, depending on the nature of the data and how it was being used. To give an analogy that might perhaps help with understanding the sentiment, imagine how your fellow citizens would feel if the government used some {hot approximation algorithm} for counting votes in the next election, rather than a straightforward count.
They are globally ubiquitous wherever summer heat reaches ~30C/95F, and also in vehicles... just not so much in northern parts of North America and Europe.

Maybe he means rote memorization and studying the answers to the test rather than someone who is actually building and tinkering and wanting to understand how things work and apply that knowledge.

Until I saw your comment, I interpreted the downvoting as people taking issue with the astonishing lack of self awareness and bizarrely neurotic hypothetical purity spiral at the end.

IE: Describing a straight male as shrill might make passersby assume he’s abnormal and abnormal men are viewed as homosexual and it would be really awful if you accidentally did a homophobia so stop using the word shrill.
One of my cousins is a blacksmith, one of very few remaining in Western Europe. He has a ton of interesting knowledge and is the nearest equivalent to a real life Popeye that I've seen. One day, visiting in Canada there was a chunk of ground that needed to be opened up in spite of being frozen. He took a pickaxe, swung it overhead and aimed for the frozen ground. Then he ended up having to hold on to it for dear life when it rebounded. He looked quite funny, and I'm super happy that he managed to hold on to it, it would have done a lot of damage if he had not.

Most of his work involves horses, which brings in good money but is a real risk for your back.
Sure, which is why I said If I soldered a lot more often, I might feel differently. Context has to be taken into account. I'm speaking from the position of being a hobbyist who solders every now and then, and not for hours at a time at that.

For somebody who solders regularly and or does so for hours on end, I would totally agree with the need for a more purpose built and effective fume extraction setup.

So weird hearing that because when I was growing up in the 80s Japan was famous for having the most unaffordable property anywhere in the world. https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/news-trends/article/309...
I'd say buy the shareholders out at a rock-bottom, unfair price. Doing otherwise would perpetuate perverse incentives. It would tell people that it's a great business model to build a for-profit company around providing a service that the government should provide, lobby hard to prohibit the government from providing that service for free, and then eventually strong-arm the government into buying your company for much more than it would cost the government to build and operate a workalike product.
Influence text environment, it needs to leave traces of text. Like bingChat was doing when it looked up what the human was saying on Twitter about it "behind its back".
The local government is incredibly incompetent.

We should accommodate anyone who is willing to bring in the money.

There are tons of other better solutions. For example, why don't they just tax the shit out of Airbnb?

The "we earn too much money" problem is just straight up odd.
This reminds me of the Ubuntu docking phone[1] back in the day. Honestly I’m still bummed that didn’t really pan out.

For me the most productive method has been to have a project, pick a language, get a introductory book for that language and dig in. Start working through the book and doing the exercises and immediately apply what I learn to that project. Making progress on my project how ever small or poorly executed it may be helps greatly in advancing and as I progress I find it gives a much more clear understanding of the more advanced ideas since I see them in context of a real application and not just as idealized text book examples.

I supplement this with reading a more advanced book which I understand little of and do not worry about understanding or applying, I find it helps keeps my mind engaged while working through banal exercises.

I have also found putting in the time to understand the long pedantic conversations/arguments some people have in various online forums to be quite valuable, they tend to be about nuances/minutiae of the language and this is something which books and the like fail to teach. This is actually what brought me to HN, when it comes to long seemingly pointless pedantry about code I have found no where better and I have learned a great deal from it.
I've worked with some fantastic folks who came from Blizzard. Their descriptions of its company culture become increasingly depressing the more recent their departure.
That's all it needs, to work in a real environment that is not reset every 5 lines of interaction.

The majority of American taxpayers don't itemize, and take the standard deduction.

For those who do itemize, I expect the IRS does actually know all of the deduction for some people, and most of them for others.

The very small percentage of taxpayers who aren't covered by that can click the hypothetical "I want to add more information to my tax return" button.

In this scenario the highest achieving employees will be the ones that will quit first, as they will be in the most demand and therefore have the most options.
I have a photo taken in Manhattan, on a block where there were a lot of people walking their dogs.

The sunlight is reflecting off the sidewalk, and a woman is picking up her dog's shit. The place where she has picked up the shit has a spot remaining, and you can see, all over the sidewalk, similar spots. Not just a few, I mean all over the sidewalk.

As I took the photo, I wondered, how much of that shit is being tracked into everyone's homes?
Yeah this sounds like Apple shaking down Google for additional revenue, rather than Google somehow sidestepping competition. Google is paying for the privilege of being able to compete in the browser space on iOS, because if they didn't, Apple would find some reason to ban Chrome from the platform.

I'm thinking Satya is pretty jealous of this arrangement. Recent comments of his suggest that he thinks Google should be paying Microsoft every time a Windows user searches on Google.

Hi Timmy!
When Mommy and Daddy do a withdrawal, we check a list to see if their name is on it! If it is, they can't get their money, and any money they put in, we won't return!

Remember not to put Cuba, Russia, or Iran in the Memo field, or we'll have to call you to investigate the transaction! Any time you transfer more than 600 dollars, we have to notify the local tax authorities! We also hold onto your transaction records for 7 years, and hand them over to law enforcement on a regular basis, and if you structure your transactions, that's an instant felony! Actually, it'll cascade to about three Federal crimes! No more voting for you, you scamp! What's structuring you ask? Well, pfft! You don't need to know that kiddo!

Go over swimmingly, I'm sure.

'Course, no one in the bank is going to tell you about all that...
I don't think it's about the amount or the language. I have 16 GB of memory, and I don't expect it to decrease. I don't expect the number of cores and MHz to go down either.

I'm just saying that everything should be written to take what you give it and like it. If you do that, it doesn't matter how much memory there is, or if there is a GC or not - you have none of the problems of unpredictable resource usage.

I don't think (although I haven't been in school over a decade) most people come out of college with an experience of writing small programs to process everything in chunks. It's so...impure. I didn't have the experience of being taught in Scheme or something, but I can imagine.

The latest dsda-doom with its new indexed lighting emulation is awesome. It's fully hardware accelerated but the indexed lighting mode almost perfectly emulates the lighting and palette effects of the original software renderer. Basically you get the best of both worlds, super fast framerate and high resolution but classic looks. It's worth checking out: https://github.com/kraflab/dsda-doom

There's this adage saying that no two Emacs configuration are alike, and I concur. Not because of users' uniqueness but due to fact how flexible and malleable it is. It's like a mouthguard that even if it has same brand and colors it's always going to be different - everyone has different print and forming process is unique too.

There are many reasons for that - some good, some bad - but in the end I believe it takes very special kind of user who decides to use Emacs over other solution: one that hates being limited by tools so they pick ones bigger than themselves and care for it deeply.

A lot of people don't care for their tools and that's OK - it's not a requirement to get sh*t done. Some of us do, though. Development tool has to allow be cared for, though. If I don't tinker, work around, re-paint and otherwise spend time improving, I can't really build such connection.

This connection and a promise, that I can hack everything anytime is Emacs spirit. Fact that it has stable development and decades of consistence only adds to it.
