>So while in the 50's, the advantages to being more high status seemed almost cosmetic, today, they're anything but.

I disagree. There's plenty of people who are secure in their finances that you would never know about just by looking at them or hearing their name. Status is for the ego, security is way more important. You can go for status after you've achieved financial security if you so desire. The only status you need is when someone asks someone you worked with if you are good at your vocation, they say yes. If you are honest, they say yes. If you are a good person, they say yes.
Yeah, that's the part of your story I find most disturbing.

People will disagree on all kinds of issues, but would take a major crime for me to call the police on my neighbor. Imagine living next to someone after you did that?

Managing everyone's impression of you is how I understand you're supposed to make friends. If you don't fit in with a group then they'll stop wanting to be around you and you'll no longer have them to talk to. Arguably having a single friend is similar to the idea of being part of an exclusive club without the pointless vanity; on the contrary it's a critically important factor for not going insane from isolation. The tradeoff for receiving that benefit is you have to acknowledge their wants and needs instead of always acting in your own interest, and coexist with them peacefully.

I’m not sure it’s a corner case. I print a handful of times a year. I’ve had my $80 Dell laser about 10 years and just had to replace the toner and buy a second ream of paper. This seems about average for people I know.

If I’d bought an inkjet I suspect I’d have had to buy a new cartridge at least once a year wiping out any savings on the printer itself even if I had gone for the more expensive Brother (which would have been less of a pain on a Mac now that the old Dell drivers barely work on current macOS.)
Are there any implications with this for software piracy? IE: Can I run my trial software in a new "Sandbox" every time?
One interesting thing I've tried to understand is emotions.

They are deeply personal and deeply physical. It's hard to talk of strong emotions in ways that don't reference the body's reactions along with those emotions. Emotions are tied to our physical bodies, chemistry, etc.

We also know that animals have emotions. That they are mostly guided by emotion.

But try to imagine emotions that, say, a sperm whale has, but that humans do not have. We know that the sperm whale has emotions outside of our own. They hunt at tremendous depth where the partial pressures of sodium and potassium change the chemistry of nerve conduction. We can try to think about the emotions that a hunting and hungry whale has in the abyssal darkness miles away from air. All attempts at it are just shoehorning our own emotions onto theirs though. Try feeling it, try having empathy with it. Who has any idea of the extra emotions that mammals with such radically different lives have, or what emotions they may lack. I may be a special case, but I just can't even imagine what a diving sperm whale is feeling.

Emotions in other animals are something that we know must exist, do exist. But that we can have no real insight into. A forbidden box, outside of logic and our great minds, sleeping in a dog on the floor beside me.

I always found it interesting how every business that used to sell a product based on demonstratable customer value and quality user experiences wants to instead cling to the ad industry.

Whether or not there's a little more money to be had there now is somewhat irrelevant. The bigger deal is that advertising is a hyper-fickle industry, very much subject to tossing out babies, bathwater, bathtubs, and entire metropolitan water infrastructures in a single fell swoop. There's a clear and identifiable risk factor here.

Somewhere, at the end of the line, there's someone actually writing checks for to ad service providers, who's going to ask "We're spending (collectively) 829 kazillion dollars to feed these adtech gigaunicorns, basically out of FOMO that we had to be more data-driven than our competitiors. Did this actually move $829 kazillion more Pepsi than just running a 30-second TV spot with a hot boy band would have?"

When the bubble bursts, how many otherwise viable products are going to implode because they've become too financially dependent on ad/data sales, or have become so eroded by the compromises for ads that they won't be able to recover their reputation after the adpocalypse?
I'm a millenial. At 7, I was allowed to cross the street and walk within one block (quiet suburb). At 12 I went to a school outside my immediate area, and I took the city bus there on my own. At 14 or so, I was allowed to travel anywhere in the city, provided my parents approved. Went to a concert with friends around that age. I took my first overnight trip away from home on my own at 16 to go visit a friend who had moved.

That experience seemed normal to me at the time, but me and my friends may have been the tail end of that degree of freedom. Funnily enough I rarely exercised it. My parents encouraged me to explore more than I did. I was a very introverted and nerdy type who spent most of the time indoors. But I would spend my weekends and summers with my friends. And my parents wouldn't usually be willing to drive me once they considered me old enough to walk there or take the bus.
>You should not be permitted to deliberately harass people you don't know doing nothing wrong in this way

I doubt that most people who call the police about kids playing outside are trying to harass anyone. I think they are just misguided.
Well, if the recent Utah thing is any sign, they're ready to overdo it when it comes to the internet, too.

> The bills will give parents full access to their children's online accounts, including posts and private messages.

Where "children" is defined as anyone younger than 18. I can see the point of some of these controls, but legally disallowing a 17 year old from having privacy from their parents? Absolutely not.

I also would definitely not call the risk of nuclear war decreasing, with the Ukraine conflict ongoing and multiple nuclear powers experiencing growing instability. The number of friends I have who are knowledgeable about surviving a nuclear strike and/or own a CBRN mask went from 25% to 90% last year.
Agree, and the best security is obviously money. But to me, status means warm intros for new business opportunities, or that your resume will reliably get past the recruiter screening stage. Stuff that can help you maintain or rebuild security.
First a typo.. funding=finding.

When there is a complaint about a company not providing things a certain way, there’s a degree of unfairness owed that was perceived.

Companies do not owe anyone a location based factor of San Francisco and allow the employee to arbitrage it, or not. They have a hard enough time staying sustainable.

My preference is that location indexes are always in the employees favour.

I’m a familiar with some of Vancouver’s challenges, incl downtown.

Depending on one’s situation, it’s often easier to live elsewhere and fly to Vancouver on weekends to live, or schedule flights in advance cheap enough to be in for work meetings.

Anyone who’s had an Amazon recruiter chase them from outside of Vancouver to move there may have done the math.

Van has a lot of sustainability challenges, between schools closing, the amount of household income required to buy a home from outside of its circle, the cost of living.

If someone is able to live in Vancouver, and if they have a family, those kids may not be able to own a home of their own.

Ask HN: Any text editors plugins/extensions to help with coding web extensions?
Hi HN,
I'm studying MDN docs regarding web extensions. It occurred to me that it could be very useful to have some helpers when coding them. An obvious thing is an extension skeleton, and it seems there are plenty of them. However, what I'm thinking about in particular is a "snippet on steroids". It would be pretty cool if I could, for example, insert a template of the code sending a message (e.g. using `browser.tabs.sendMessage`) in a background script I'm editing, and at the same time a template for the listener (using `browser.runtime.onMessage.addListener`) would be inserted in the content script. I assume other helpful things could also be possible. Does anyone know of a package/plugin/extension for any text editor having such capabilities? What other things may be useful in such context? (I may be tempted to code something simple for Emacs, but it would be nice to see some "prior art".)
You haven't actually offered any evidence of this being the case. It's just as easy to make cheats for games on Windows as it is on Linux. In fact most cheats are made for Windows precisely because most of the people buying these cheats are using Windows.

I have ported this to go for myself. Works really well for my use.
Status is an intermediary step between behavior and true goals. In some cases status might be an effective part of the path in actualizing the real goal (for example, community organizing). In many cases status distracts and becomes a goal of its own, much like money and pleasure tend to do in our lives.

As a personal exercise I find it useful to trace my behavior to end goals (and back the other way), and then disregard false goals/traps while problem solving other obstacles.

I suspect the common real goal on the other side of status from one’s behavior is to be loved. All humans share this goal with widely varying strategies, and some of those strategies expose the individual to the status trap. The most effective means to overcome this trap is to accomplish the real goal, and in the case of being loved one convenient solution is to appreciate the people in our lives, from acquaintances to close family. From appreciation comes kindness and openness, and from there we experience love and feelings of belonging. Status then becomes either irrelevant, or a tool one can now effectively wield.
I program in Pascal every day, and I still love it.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central has a built-in development environment with a language called AL. AL is a variant of Pascal.

A bit of background, Pascal was very popular in Denmark in the 80'ties and 90'ties (Turbo Pascal was created by a Dane, Anders Hejlsberg, later Delphi, c# and TypeScript fame). Business Central was a Danish piece of software created for IBM before Microsoft acquired it, so choosing Pascal as the base language was a very natural thing.

I got my first job because IBM needed Pascal developers for this new accounting system they got and I already knew Turbo Pascal.

Today the AL compiler is built on Roslyn (same as the c# compiler) and have a fully capable language server supporting all the fancy intellisence stuff in VS Code, also supported by GitHub CoPilot.

p.s. I even created my own AL compiler, written in AL https://www.hougaard.com/toolbox

Birmingham Alabama is another similar example.

>The "cars" angle feels more like a favorite boogeyman around here than an actual explanation for the change.

It is. Especially on the internet, once people find a cause to champion they'll try shoehorn it into everything, regardless of relevance. I'm only surprised someone isn't trying to pin this on a lack of nuclear energy power plants, which is another internet favorite go-to.
You misunderstood what I was saying. Those statements are from the perspective of the hypothetical language proposal I was critiquing. That proposal turns off all the optimizations by default and forces you to add annotations to turn them back on. At the same time, it does not actually give you anything useful for your trouble because it still doesn't solve the problem of signed overflow giving incorrect results.

The way C is now, you get the performance by default and safety is opt-in. That's the tradeoff C makes and it's a good one. Other languages give safety by default and make performance opt-in. The proposal I was responding to gives neither.
Maybe this is counter-zeitgeist, but managers are just people like you and me.

As you get “higher” up the org, you get further and further away from action/result. But you can see more.

The narrative around “why don’t managers just let people get their work done without annoying them” is comes down to a lack of leadership. Both from the manager, and from the direct report. This is the missing ingredient that few managers and almost nobody on the ground “gets”. The manager needs you to step up and lead, so that they can manage. They just generally can’t articulate this because the manager and you both think you’re not in a leadership role. But you are, everyone is. That’s your path to not being distracted by your manager.

This is really just bad man. It's why people shouldn't get legal advice from places like HN.

First, the vast majority of contract law is common law, not statutes. Second, you seem to think something being illegal means it's criminal or civil. No the contract itself is an illegal contract by its very nature. In fact any contract whose purpose is to acheive an illegal end is an illegal contract. This is not in any statute but rather a common law principle:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_agreement

Please, I get people don't like my tone, I'm rude, people want to downvote rude people and that's fine... but for anyone reading this please do not get your legal advice from HN. It's really just a very misinformed and poor place to try to understand the law.

In this very thread we have someone saying you can unilaterally modify a contract just by striking sections out with a pen. That just doesn't fly even if you do manage to trick the other party into signing it. And now we have someone who tried to be all clever and pedantic about the difference between a legal contract and a binding contract (before completely walking back on that distinction) and thinks there's nothing illegal in contract law about a contract that requires someone to rob a bank.

Be very skeptical about what you read on this site on matters other than programming and technology. That's all I ask. Too many people pretend to be experts on matters of consequence, and it creates a great deal of noise. Downvote away.

I need to read more about hooks and forks to answer that. Klong itself is relatively straightforward, however with Python integration there’s a lot that can be done.

Multiple backends would be quite interesting. There’s still some gaps in fully supporting CuPy so perhaps after getting that further along it would be interesting to expand the backends.

Related to multiple backends, I think there’s a lot to explore with JIT and other tricks to make KlongPy faster.

Generally, the bulk of my focus will be on performance going forward.
>But I have never seen a software company die because of these things.

Now, no. I mean you have to have a good product, but once you've gained traction and market share, it can go to shit because you've got lock-in. In 1995, there were a lot of small software companies. Novell ruled networking. Now it's mainly mega-companies. The trick now is if you are a mega-company, you have to buy out the competition. Most startup exit strategies is to get acquired.

The rise of the mobile phone device has become a curse as much as a blessing. Previously there was no way for parents to be apprised of their children's activities at every moment. Now, not only is it a simple matter for neurotically overbearing parents to check on their children constantly, but it's also simple for total strangers to "karen" your lack of parental attention. If a busybody passed by a bunch of kids playing without supervision in 1990, they would have to wait until they got home or to their destination, remember the location of the children, call up the police, and by that time the kids might not even be there. Even if they are, the busybody's sitting at home by the landline and doesn't get the visceral satisfaction of seeing the prepubescent gangbangers brought to justice. Where's the fun in that? Now, as a meddler, it's a simple matter of spying the unlicensed skateboard wielding urchins from a safe distance and reporting them to the cops in real time while you triumphantly wait there for the squad car to arrive and haul those little miscreants off to cps and hopefully get their parents' rights terminated for good measure.
Ibn Khaldun's 1377 work Muqaddimah is a very old book that essentially says this.

The concept of "ʿasabiyyah" (Arabic: "tribalism, clanism, communitarism", or in a modern context, "group feeling" , "social cohesion", "solidarity" or even "nationalism") is one of the best known aspects of the Muqaddimah. As this ʿasabiyyah declines, another more compelling ʿasabiyyah may take its place; thus, civilizations rise and fall, and history describes these cycles of ʿasabiyyah as they play out.

Ibn Khaldun argues that each dynasty has within itself the seeds of its own downfall. He explains that ruling houses tend to emerge on the peripheries of great empires and use the unity presented by those areas to their advantage in order to bring about a change in leadership. As the new rulers establish themselves at the center of their empire, they become increasingly lax and more concerned with maintaining their lifestyles. Thus, a new dynasty can emerge at the periphery of their control and effect a change in leadership, beginning the cycle anew.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muqaddimah

From studying history a bit, I do agree that it's striking how often new powerful civilizations are formed from groups of people that existed on the periphery and had very little institutional power a generation or two beforehand. The Mongols, the Ottomans, and Napoleonic France are just a few examples.
Realistic means it's likely people will put considerable effort into achieving said climate goal, not whether it's possible. Everyone on earth could join hands and achieve world peace or governments could decide to pour trillions into terraforming Mars. But neither is likely to happen.
