YES, it was for-sure cooler.

Memory mattered. Ditto CPU cycles, disk, and network bandwidth. (Not that your code could count on there being a network, in a lot of cases.) Security wasn't a Garden of Eden...but now that can feel more like being a night-shift ICU nurse during a COVID surge that never ends. And the software stack under your code was orders of magnitude smaller, and slower-changing. These days - that can feel like you aren't a programmer, but instead a Wall Street attorney who's trying to pilot some giga-corporate merger through the shifting regulatory and political obstacles in 37 different countries.
> I think "manager as supervisor" is frankly dead.

sorta. as someone who is an EM, so i guess take the bias with a grain of salt, the difference between a really good EM, and someone who warms a seat is astounding. the really good ones have strong opinions, can coach well on a variety of topics (e.g effective communication, organizational thinking), and understand the technicals at least from a level of where you can see how your direct reports are doing. they also understand the economics/business of a company and can foresee which teams are dead-ends so they can offer good advice to direct reports to grow careers.

the ones who warm seats are glorified project managers. no real advice beyond "should we do standups, when are retros" and basics like running a board, or taking notes during meetings. usually pretty disconnected from the day to day, no strong opinions on the actual hard stuff, just topical high level advice. plenty of those in the field, and its unfortunate because its not a hard science, so they tend to BS their ways into these positions and make a lot of money.

either way, managers aren't going anywhere and no amount of code will automate them away.

Successful suicides are up, not actually only suicide attempts. Changes in attitudes toward mental health don't result in changes in how bodies are counted.

It's funny that the "backronym" does not tell us what GNU is, but only what GNU is not.

At least in some cases, you need the options --orig-exe (Posix) or --embed-dlls (Windows) to make the binary standalone. For me that worked for command line programs. The options are described at https://docs.racket-lang.org/raco/exe.html . You can use both options at the same time, regardless of running Posix or Windows.
Sure, foreign words are very often adapted.

But BLM is targeting a very specific type of racism, that is almost not applicable in Sweden.

It would be like them protesting Asians being treated unfairly on University acceptance, another American form of racism, that is also not applicable to Sweden.

Protesting your government on issues that don’t exist and they therefore cannot address is odd, and unless I’m missing something, extremely stupid

I guess Pankow is also pretty large. The parts I stayed at had mostly wide streets with lots of traffic, but it includes Prenzlauer Berg and goes all the way to the north, so it'll have plenty of different places. And gentrification likely changes it as well.

You're right about small towns, they're probably a good compromise before looking at villages, but it is a very different life style, so probably not for everyone that currently lives in Berlin or Hamburg by choice. I'm curious how it will develop, and I feel fortunate that my personal preferences align with what's cheaper. I feel for those who desire the hustle and bustle of the inner city.

Apache Empire-Db: Full SQL Freedom for Java
A wealth benefit for who? Maybe in terms of aggregate societal wealth, but in terms of relative wealth things have gotten worse (you can't buy a home and raise a family on a single income anymore for instance).

Before: everyone had one wage earner per household. Prices for goods meets this reality.

After: everyone has 2 wage earners per households. Prices for goods meets this reality.

Nothing has changed except now you need 2 people earning to live just as well as before. More aggregate output means "more GDP", but who cares when your life is relatively worse in many ways.
The bigger problem seems to be private homeowners colluding to increase their house prices by voting to prevent development in their neighborhoods.
> think the example of Switzerland shows that there is no problem if spoken language is different from official language.

Most Swiss speak at least two of their four official languages. It's actually an example of how having multiple official languages isn't expensive nor hard to achieve (and the country is on top of most human index charts).

But the EU should make Latin it's official language.

They're working on it. For example, knowing that you can use async in some contexts (functions) but not in others (traits) is complexity that needs to be learned. By making it work everywhere, the language becomes simpler.

But no, there will always be some inherent complexity in the language because it has new concepts not present elsewhere. Newer tutorials in novel formats are being made all the time and they help with learning, but there's no way around having to learn new things.

I might have to reframe my photographic thoughts...

A long time ago (during the film era) I remember taking all kinds of photos on vacation. I would routinely take photos of mountains and rivers and other beautiful landmarks. But in the end, when I would get the batch of photos back from the lab, having people in the image made it more interesting, and people I knew much more so.

I wonder if time will invert things and the interest will revert back to the landmarks.

The Paradox of Empty Storefronts (2009)
Exactly. Whether you control the underlying operating system (or network connection) or just the content at the application layer, you're still relying on someone else. If you don't have good content to share, it's moot anyway.

At the end of the day, any service trades control for convenience/access. I run a podcast hosting service that's slightly more expensive than hosting yourself with WordPress. Paying me to host your show gets you a platform that's had 99.999% uptime for years. You don't need to think about renewing your domains or certificates or installing WordPress/Apache/nginx/Ubuntu/whatever updates. You don't need to think about how to get accurate analytics or filtering out automated requests from your log data. You don't need to worry about your show being protected by a single auth factor. If your time is worth $60/hr and my service is $10/mo, is your podcast taking more than two hours a year of your time (minus hosting costs)? Some people don't want to make that tradeoff and that's fine, but it's simply a better choice to find a third party that you trust to do stuff for you.

Anecdata:

I've found something as simple as a daily calm stretching routine goes a long way towards keeping the mind+body on board with everything else I call on it to do.

Not that I'm some new-age meditation and yoga solve all problems type at all.

But stretching in particular is a surprisingly effective mind+body exercise because there's all these safeguards in place to prevent carelessly damaging your muscles and joints. When you increase your flexibility and condition your mind+body to allow reaching these extended positions, it's like you're earning the trust of the system. It's not purely a physical flexibility thing, there's a huge mental component.

That seems to translate into greater self-trust elsewhere, be it pushing physical limits of endurance/strength or constant long coding sessions.
The transition to renewable energy cannot come soon enough. Why we allow our economy to be held hostage to foreign dictatorships is beyond me.

I stood behind some German-speaking people at the hotel check-in recently (I think they were Swiss), and I noticed they would sprinkle English phases into their conversation in a sort of jovial way. “Up in the room.” At breakfast I saw the same group, probably recovering from a night of partying, one said to the other on sight, “under the weather?”

Yes more or less. Bell's Theorem stated that if local realism holds (very roughly things continue existing separate from observation, and things can't influence other things faster than the speed of light), then certain measurements cannot correlate at higher than a certain rate. The relevant experiments show that for increasingly well designed and controlled cases, that these measurements correlate above the limit, and therefore local realism cannot be true.

> How much of the Italian cuisine they're trying to protect would exist if they had the same attitude in the 1500s, when the tomato was introduced to Italy?

Nitpick, but there was no such thing as "Italy" in the 1500s. There were several kingdoms and city states at war against one another. Modern Italy is a 19th century invention.
I thought about this too. I am and only child and have no biological children. My stepsons were already 9 and 14 when we got married and they were never close to my parents and neither is my wife.

> 1. developers get assigned by the maintainers/core-team so there is no duplication of effort, there are never multiple developers working on the same bounty

I have read the website docs again and I can't find any reference to this or how the process work.

As a company, I would hope to see more docs related to the business before trying it out, the docs assume that you are already integrating the bounties, there are even API docs (which are fine) but no clear definitions on dispute handling (these cases will occur sooner or later).

> 1. As a developer, I have had customers paying me to contribute improvements to open source projects they depend on, this case is very tricky because there is no guarantee that the upstream project will accept the change.

So far, my understanding is that this case is not supported, is there any plan for it? it is the most common I have been hired for.

Were the educators shielded from law enforcement:

Article 1 > No, they were arrested by law enforcement.

Article 2 > after first accusation, yes - school administration argued that the initial accusation was not credible. After additional accusation > No, the educator and their organizational leadership were arrested by law enforcement.

Did the public school system moved teachers accused of child abuse into different schools in a new community allowing them the opportunity to abuse again?

Article 1 & 2: No.

In any case - I’m glad we agree that adults in a position of trust and power over children, who then abuse those children, should all be arrested, tried, and - if guilty - put in jail in their crimes. There is no amount of whataboutism that makes either group sympathetic.

> I live in Sweden, but I think Europe is much less race-oriented (although classism is still a massive issue).

Europe is not less racist than the US. However, Europeans are much less used to reflecting on and taking about racism in their own countries than Americans are.

That reluctance to talk about race is exacerbated by the fact that, in many European counties (Sweden being one of them), it is either difficult or impossible to legally collect meaningful data about race, making it impossible to actually report on objective racial disparities and issues.

> The real question is why Europe has to deal with it when it was the USA which started the wars.

I see Europeans express sentiments like this quite often, and it's quite amusing. Racism isn't something foreign to Europe - Europe is literally the birthplace of white supremacist ideology, and racism has been ingrained in European society for centuries. It's quite ludicrous to pretend that it somehow evaporated overnight without cause, and even more absurd to make that assertion when there's copious evidence of direct and overt racism in across Europe literally every day.

as a rule, billionaires don't create wealth. They play games with power, accumulating wealth locked up in financial engineering systems that produce more wealth by taking money out of the hand of real wealth producers. The people that create wealth are inventors, scientists, engineers and laborers that create, figure out how to make and move the product out the door. capitol is needed to produce goods but is not the only recipient of the results of work.
First-order, yes: Redistributive policies don't have the sum of the country's wealth as their primary optimization objective. Arguably, their goal is closer (but not quite) to the sum of national utility, which follows from diminishing marginal utility.

That being said, there are also claimed and real second-order effects of policies whose first-order economic effect is deadweight-loss. The entirety of government fits this description! To use the most trite and least controversial example, confiscating resources to build roads is redistribution from heavier taxpayers to heavier road users (incl downstream beneficiaries), but the second-order effects of a functional transportation are enough that we don't consider it to "make the country as a whole poorer"

Fair points. I'm definitely a fan of Netflix, and their european productions are very shiny visually although sometimes the the quality of the script is kinda bad. But some of their european productions are really great. But in those productions, at least if they play in the current day, they are using paypal, google, tinder, etc all the time. But yeah at least sth like Dark would probably not have gotten funding by either the public or private broadcasters in Germany.

Show HN: Pleb.us – Find your U.S. government representatives on social media
Hi HN!

My name is Goran and I'm excited to share a civic tech project I've been working on.

Pleb is a search engine that helps you find your representatives at all levels of the U.S. government and browse their embedded social media feeds. At the moment, it shows feeds from Twitter and Facebook.

Other websites offer similar search functionality, but I haven't seen any that combined it with social media. I thought I'd try to create a full-fledged social media client where constituents could connect with their representatives. Let's call this an MVP.

It's still rough around the edges, but I'm hoping you'll find it useful. I'm more than happy to answer your questions and I'd genuinely appreciate your feedback. I'm sure I have blind spots you could help identify.

If you're concerned about privacy, I tried to explain precisely how your data is handled in the FAQ: https://pleb.us/faq

If you find any inaccurate information, please leave a comment or email hello@pleb.us. I'm able to make corrections to any representative or remove them from search results if they have retired.

Thank you!
> Why are you presuming that UBI will be funded through creating more money, instead of redirecting money and/or increasing taxes?

Those are the same thing.

Increasing taxes = raised prices.

Raised prices = inflationary pressure.

Inflationary pressure = higher UBI.
