There's status silos everywhere. Chess, sports, games, prisons, inside companies, inside professions, startups, inside academic disciplines. Each of these status silos shares an abstract similarity. They are groups of people battling it out for their peers' recognition and prestige in a zero-sum contest. The criteria by which prestige is bestowed will vary from silo to silo. So it's up to the players of the game to know what the criteria is in their silo of choice, and optimize for it. In a prison, it's violence. In chess, it's competence. In a company, it might be politicking.

> I suffer from the problem of not paying attention to status.

Are you sure? Maybe you just don't pay attention to conventional status markers. But you are still competing in a status silo (such as a contest here on HN for points?), just an unorthodox one.
If you buy a laptop with good Linux support, e.g. a ThinkPad. It should be fine for well over a decade in my experience. That is better value than Apple offer.
True. The way I see is one category of people who would need first hand experience to know status really matters or not. They wouldn't find this advice much useful. But there is other group who would rather take the word of someone with status to believe status doesn't matter if they are saying so. Simply because they have status so they know better about it.

I think at core most of advice from haves to have nots has different effect on smart vs average have nots. Smarts tend to see a kind of hypocrisy in these proclamations. Whereas average folks just see the real world the way it is. So these advise seems useful info coming from important people.
Well, that was straightforward.

These are more like hit pieces by advocacy groups that are against all forms of animal testing.

The Vox article for example was written by the partner of someone who worked at PCRM - the advocacy group that filed the complaint.

The article is also packed with pictures of animal abuse that has absolutely nothing to do with Neuralink - which they do mentioned in the fine print.

These images of course are entirely misleading and have no place in the article other than trying to draw a false equivalence.
He's not going to fuck you.
Folding bikes are much more expensive, especially electric.
I’m having some trouble interpreting your comment, and I don’t know how much context you have for Neuralink, so I will share a small amount of context which you may already know.

The basic summary is this: Neuralink is Theranos, except with animal cruelty.

The improvements that Neuralink advertises aren’t there, scientists in the field don’t believe that they will materialize in the foreseeable future, and there are a ton of problems you need to solve first which you could probably solve by first working with organisms like worms or whatnot, instead of pigs and monkeys.

Adding a jet engine to your car won’t shave twenty minutes off your commute to the office, it will just kill you and spread your body across the pavement. Sticking one of those Neuralink interfaces in a monkey won’t give us insight into brain-computer interfaces, it will just make the monkey suffer and die.

Any advances that Neuralink is actually making could probably be made with less suffering.
other countries' perceptions of Americans, for some weird reason

it's because of American policies that have consequences on other countries. It feels more personal

BINGO!

Haven't parked your scooter in the designated area? -10 Euros fee on your credit card.

Driving recklessly on the scooter? -30 Euros fee.
I don't think you get my point. In the end it's simple. Helix misses many features I want and that exist in (N)Vim. To support all these features you need plugins because they cannot be all maintained by core and everyone wants different features anyways.

As long as there is no way to extend the editor for me or for anyone else (aside from contributing to core), I am not interested in adopting it when I have another option that already does all of these things I want.

So yes you need plugins but for that you first need a plugin system. If that takes a while I am totally fine with it. I am all for good software. But why should I currently choose it over nvim?
My cellphone has FM built in also, I just have to plug in headphones.

Yes, I get sad when I read most comments here. The way people have been indoctrinated with car-culture is just astounding. E scooters are like a drop in the ocean compared to the damage caused by cars: the space they occupy, the pollution they cause (mostly noise pollution). Cars have killed city-life and people are blind to it.
As a guy planning to use SQLite with Rust, it was interesting to me since you often don't have visibility on the performance cost when you cross the C-Rust barrier, or other FFI bridges. You have to write the code at which point it's a 70% done deal.

Plus the top comment gave useful additional data.

This saves time for other people looking to make an informed decision.

People disliking Rust seem to always be on the lookout for the Boogeyman to me. And degrading the quality of HN's comment sections. :(

Just look at your other replies. Seems that several people got lost on their way to 4chan and Reddit.
You were being asked about Surface vs Macbook Air - why're you bringing MacBook Pro into it? There's no extra upfront cost for Apple. It is mind boggling how good a computer you can get for USD$800 from Apple compared to anything else on the market.
I've never seen those apps on my machine, very strange. Is this an OEM choice?
Well, that's alot of "luck" then. If only everyone could be as "lucky". I wonder how many CEOs have in-depth understanding of their products? My guess is it would be few.
Tau is better for some equations (most of them?) and worse for some others. It would probably be a net positive to adopt it if you discount the huge chore of transitioning during decades. But what this fails to account is that most mathematicians regard 2pi as an important quantity on its own already; it's not a single symbol but it's close enough. So 2pi is expected to appear in many equations and any other value, like 3pi, looks fishy.

Really, the only problem with 2pi is that if you multiply it by a constant, it disappears. so people might write 2*2pi as 4pi. Sometimes you may not want to do that.

Anyway you don't need to fully transition to tau in order to benefit from it. Just like the planck constant has a reduced planck constant (which is probably more useful), and both are used, tau can be already used when it makes sense, without ever fully replacing pi.

Prusa was the first proper printer with bed levelling in its class?

32 bit isn't really a feature in this context.

Wifi, sure. Not for me but I get that some would want it.

Not sure what keeping up means here, prusa is killing it and it felt like their sales was reflecting that too. But prusa might not agree.

I've looked at the competition and the only printer I'd consider over mk4 is a voron. But I don't want to spend that time on sourcing parts etc. And it would be understandable if the voron built with the tradeoffs for any one individual is going to have it's own type of quirks.

I'd rather spend time on designing and using my parts than on the printer. Wasn't always the case though! There was a time where a voron would be ideal for me.
I always wonder what's going on in the mind of someone who leaves their scooter to block the sidewalk. Besides the obvious example of blind people having to navigate this obstacle course the same goes for the elderly, people in wheelchairs and so on. And these scooters are the things that block the sidewalk even in a city with plenty of bikes (such as Amsterdam) because there is no sense of responsibility associated with their use. When you're done you just need to get rid of it as though it is a disposable rather than a vehicle.
If it's preference is a variable that exists because a human thinks it would make sense to another human it has no connection with reality.
> But "Italian nationalists" aren't a thing

I don't think you've paid much attention to the last 25 years of Italian politics. Italian nationalists are definitely a thing, and they are winning. The current government is led by openly-avowed post-fascists. The last time fascists were in power, Superman became "Nembo Kid", Internazionale Milano became "Ambrosiana Inter", and people with foreign surnames had to italianize them or risk ostracism (how do I know? My great-grandmother was one of them). One of the reasons Italian national identity is so traditionally weak in the postwar period is that its period of unabashed strength was so clearly associated with an unpresentable regime; the latest move by this government is an explicit bridge to that period, a dog whistling exercise that will work very well with their electorate.
Gender pay gap: Parliament adopts new rules on binding pay-transparency measures
I was hired for a photoshoot of a teacher at an elementary school. As I was setting up a tripod, a light with a big softbox and the like outside the front of the school I had a resident busybody come up to me and "just make sure" none of the kids outside in the playground would be in the shot. Of course, I could have legally done so as they were outside in a public place...and the earlier part of the shoot was in the teacher's classroom with her students.

I had another shoot where I was covering someone's engagement that was near a playground. I had my wife with just to diffuse anybody worrying about a man with a long lens near a playground but clearly not photographing any children - and sure enough, she had to talk to a lady about it.

Another time I was going to photograph a high school senior at a playground the next day, so I scoped out my old elementary and middle school playgrounds (no camera equipment on me!). I made it all of 10 feet onto the elementary school playground before I had a woman essentially accuse me of being a creep. There were plenty of moms there. It didn't even seem to occur to her that I could have been a father, or just walking across the space to get to the baseball field or whatever.

For the record I'm a decent looking guy and I don't think I put out creep vibes in the least.
Fiber on utility poles is absolutely a thing, and it's usually far cheaper than buried fiber, not to mention easier to repair.

Here in the USA, the main reason that doesn't happen is incumbent providers. Whoever owns the poles is very unlikely to grant you access to hang fiber on them. The one exception is public utilities, they are generally required to offer open access, however, there are all kinds of rules about space between existing utilities and new ones. Unfortunately, you don't just have to deal with the local government because of incumbent providers, who are already hanging their wires on the existing utility poles. Phone and cable providers have incentive to make sure that the process is as arduous as possible and they will put up bureaucratic roadblocks and drag their feet at every opportunity.

This is just what I came to understand by spending a lot of time researching what it would take to start a rural ISP. It's a project that I abandoned after Starlink was announced.
Confabulate is a better word than hallucinate. How did “hallucinating” get popularized? It’s a terrible term in this context.
Most NL farmers are in favor of stopping all subsidies if it means that it also stops in other countries. Because unlike in other countries subsidies in NL come with lots of strings attached.
Viewing every woe as a policy issue is actually very technologist/authoritarian.

The South obviously has a unhealthy diet, but the inner cities are dramatically poorer than blue state cities with even more crime to match (St. Louis in particular). It's not a blue/red thing. It's more income and culture driven.

I'm definitely not white "BIO-Deutsch" looking if that's what you're asking.

But you still haven't told me exactly how the hate has manifested towards your half latino girlfriend in East Germany.

From my findings I find a lot of people are just snowflakes that exagerate the perceived hate towards them, for example if the waiter, service worker, bus driver, etc. was rude or mean to them, they immediately assume people are being racist and are hate targeting them for their race/skin color. No, bro, that's just the traditional East German "friendliness" or they're just dicks to everyone, nothing to do with hate or racism.
SEC Spotlights Crypto with New “Safeguarding Rule” Proposal

There's scooters and scooters. It's a bit of a misnomer but there are electric scooters that are like a Vespa scooter ('Absolute beginners') and there are electric scooters that are the ones that your kid would ride when they're 5 or so (plank with two wheels, you stand on the plank and 'scoot' with your other leg). The e-scooter of the latter variety is what is of concern here, ~20kg + rider moving at ~20kph (sometimes faster).

The former is definitely banned from sidewalks (though they are often parked there), the other is used on sidewalks quite frequently, in spite of that not being legal. They have shitty small wheels and are pretty dangerous for both rider and pedestrians.
A bit late but here is a list of plugins I could not live without:

- tpope/vim-fugitive

- samoshkin/vim-mergetool

- folke/zen-mode.nvim

There might be more I am forgetting.. and maybe something like telescope is already part of Helix. I will check Helix again in a year ;)

I have a similar experience to the author, but reversed. Instead of Windows 95 it was Red Hat Linux.

So if I had to setup a similar experience for my child today it would be with Fedora, which would be a lot better of course.

Because when I was a kid in the 90s my older brother was studying for his Microsoft certifications, but he didn't want to install Windows on a computer used by his kids (and me), so he installed Red Hat on it.

I have fond memories of being at their house and playing on their Red Hat computer that stood in my nephews room. My favorite game was Konquest.

I would love to give a similar experience to my child today.

Years later this kickstarted my Linux career as I started to play with Linux on my own computer. And now, 25+ years later, I have an established and comfortable career in IT.

It doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s users don’t like to tinker — just that they don’t want to mess with hardware.

I am absolutely a tinkerer. But I basically need Unix for that. I have a set of dotfiles and config that basically instantly works whenever I transfer machines, just by doing a “git clone” into my $HOME folder. I have a setup script included in there, which copies my config and installs all necessary programs. I have two Mac laptops and can keep them in sync this way. I’ve used Linux for years also, and can modify the Mac script with some changes to support Linux too.

There’s basically no way to do this on Windows because the terminal is a step removed from the system. I can’t open a brand new laptop and have all my programs and config transfer by just running a script. You need to use the UI during multiple points.

Part of this is because I’ve used all of the OS’s extensively (still have windows too!), and always end up needing to reinstall the system every couple of years for one reason or another — maybe just general clutter. This is regardless of OS. On Windows I always lose multiple days to getting it “back to how I want it”, but on Mac and Linux-based systems, it is much faster because (1) there isn’t a bunch of adware to remove, and (2) most/all of the programs that I need can be installed in the terminal with zero effort
Many farming communities only have AM radio for the migrant workers. So Tesla/Ford might actually be cutting off low income, non english speaking farming immigrants from access to local radio in their own language and community.

But they they probably are not driving EVs like tesla, still not cool thou.

Ford cutting it out of their f150 work trucks seems to be rather bad for many communities.
The same way they survive in places like Somalia.
It was a philosophical decision. Paraphrasing, he believes that if people live too long it will hinder political evolution.
I am sure there are people that are grateful and pleased they can get it. That doesn't mean that there are enough of those people to support a constellation the size that you need for global coverage.
Hey man, this is really good stuff and I'd love to conspire with you about the terminal. I can't find your contact info (I looked!), but send me a message (email in bio) and hopefully we find a way to chat. Cheers!
No I wasn't, but if I was it works like this: Surface Go = iPad, same rough price and specs, Surface Laptop Go, Surface Laptop vs Macbook Air or low-end Macbook Pro, same rough price (Laptop Go is a few hundred cheaper), Surface Book vs medium-high-end Macbook Pro, same rough price.

Right now a entry level Macbook Air in NZ is ~1600, 1400 on special, and a Surface Laptop Go 2 is ~1400. Same size, same ram, same hdd, higher res on the air, touch screen on the surface, m1 on the air, intel x64 on the surface, basically same target market.

Most species we want to protect now only thrived/peaked because people extracted nitrogen from the area, like in the case of heath fields and woodlands. Or became sand plains because we repeatedly burned down the forests for military reasons.

Replying on my X220, which is my go-to device for writing, non-graphic intensive gaming, and general web use. It's light enough for my needs, and is built like a tank. Plus, I cannot stand more modern laptop keyboards, and I'm hooked on pointing sticks. I've got my desktop for anything that really needs processing power.

I enjoy how my X220 really is a laptop of Theseus; over the years I've replaced everything except the LCD rear cover, bezel, hinges, and base. The biggest problem is getting decent batteries.
Bre Pettis of Makerbot even posted a blog post of similar tone back in 2010, titled "Open Source Ethics and Dead End Derivatives", admonishing copycats for using Makerbot's open-source design files without contributing anything back. It used to be at this URL but they've taken it down, and I don't think the wayback machine has a snapshot.

https://www.makerbot.com/stories/2010/03/25/open-source-ethi...

Not long after that, they went full closed-source (and got bought out by Stratasys for a fortune).

I'm sure Josef Prusa remembers that as well. I very much hope this isn't a sign that Prusa will make a similar pivot. I don't expect that it is.
If safety were an argument how comes all the other western countries where kids still roam freely don't have increased or at least statistically visible issues.

To pick up a few arguments. My neighbours are farmers, there are more ford raptors and guns than anywhere else in the country. Yet kids walk a hour to school by their own and play far from their parents vision.

- Or keep trying to fix the environment + hardware compatibility issues and not do the actual work/study. Or keep editing some random xorg.conf file because his monitor's display suddenly became weird. Or try to fix some other random files since the sound driver doesn't work. He's 10. I'm 40 and still horrified to deal with those problems on a daily basis as my company requires me to work multiple platforms. Linux doesn't care for a regular non-geek user, and its experts all over the internet are very condescending in general.

It's a sad reality that no platform actually cares for what a general customer wants. Macs these days have a few times more problems than Windows. His best bet is probably to just stick to Windows and keep checking for any new auto-introduced problems.
Nice workflow - I wonder what you're doing with websites that can't be displayed in reader mode or websites that renders awefully when printing to pdf with clipping text at the borders.

I just installed Fedora on my personal computer (X1 Carbon, 6th gen) and it is everything I've ever wanted. There was no configurations I needed to fiddle with. The semi-annual update is amazingly smooth. It also makes my old laptop feel like a hotrod again. I'm happy to have a computer without an AI chip. I use a Mac for work, and it is good, but I sense the subscription mania creeping in there as well. I couldn't make the jump to Windows 8 - because Microsoft created a UI without considering the customer at all. Windows 10 was a great reprieve, especially with one of the early Surface Laptops. But I can't even remain a Microsoft customer with Window 11. The whole system is built with the only intention of driving ad-based subscription revenue. The new Edge browser feels the same way. Sometimes I really hate what our industry has become. Boy am I an old curmudgeon, I think I need to go yell at someone to get off my lawn.
