Papercuts might matter, but there's a time and a place for everything. If you have limited resource-constrained, and the choice is between solving minor issues or driving the product forward, do the latter.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't be improving quirks and annoyances in the product, but such things should be proportional to work that delivers value.

At some point, it can devolve into perfectionism and grind all meaningful progress to a halt.

Your article is pretending that the water access issues are caused by lithium mining. This is a specious argument that only makes sense because they omitted the obviously pertinent fact that Chile is in the grip of a decade-long drought.

That's FUD, my dude.
> that doesn't grant you the right to subject everyone around you to them

It seems to me you are switching to a third argument, which is societal (rather than personal) health risks, along the lines of second-hand smoke. I haven't seen this argument made in a serious journal, but maybe I've missed it. Can you point me to a rigorous analysis of this?

I will also point out that, as I mentioned above, it seems fine to me to require vented fume hoods in new buildings with gas stove lines. I'm hoping that addresses at least some of your argument.

That's IMO a much more fascinating question. What does it mean that simple systems can exhibit "life"?

The first three kinds of simple system are, um, pretty obvious: Boring is static, Oscillators have movement but are static in time so to speak, chaotic systems overwhelm themselves with too much movement, "living" systems seem to balance stasis and chaos.

But what does it mean? ;)

That's the exact issue.People that point at humans and say we are bad at cooperation are really saying they are uncomfortable with the level of violence we have/are exhibiting. As far as cooperation goes we are clearly the most cooperative species on the planet as we are cooperating across pretty much the entire surface of the planet across diverse kin groups. Most of the insect examples trotted out (i.e. ants) are colonies made up of one kin group. If you put another kin group in the same territory you won't have two kin groups for long because one will kill the other or push them out of the territory.

It should be noted that one of the reasons this WCC was exciting is because of Richard Rapport who helped Ding Liren with his preparation, he is well know for being creative with his openings, and his contributions were pretty obvious in games (we even saw a London System), specially that Ding is usually predictable.
Diversity should only matter in that it furthers the level of basketball being played. Diversity because it opens up additional markets is an awful incentive. That they only care about diversity because it makes them richer is very telling.

On top of that, the NBA is always going to have a problem with height diversity. I don’t think this is a problem, but viewed with an equity lens it is.
ok, i kind of understand that, but it is still very different than a metric.

metrics become problematic because they are reductive and they are tied to compensation, promotion, or other rewards.

here we are talking about a raw dump of all data, which is the opposite of a reductive metric, and there is no compensation or reward tied to providing the data.
Yes, substantially.
You may have confused the debate with the legislation. In NYC all gas is out under Local Law 154 of 2021.
In Chicago landlords have to send you an annual check paying out the interest, which during the low interest rate years amounted to 10-30¢ a year. The postage stamp cost more.

In response landlords started to require non-refundable move-in fees in lieu of a security deposit. These can range between about 40-60% of a month's rent.

In theory they are supposed to be reusable but in practice I think they are going to wind up being single-use for most people. Maybe we'll start using them as garbage bags as they accumulate around the house.
This does some good, but Microsoft’s ever-increasing Windows system requirements is creating quite a bit of eWaste anyway. If Microsoft really gives a shit, they should slim down and optimize Windows rather than adding more telemetry, more ads, and random features no one wants or asked for.

Unrelated: They should also rejuvenate offline Office and bring back Works.

Unrelated, one other area where MS could make a big splash is hobbyist boards. An x86 SoC with BASIC would probably sell like crazy right about now with nostalgia cycle being where it is.

Having a hood fan should be part of the building code for natural gas stoves. Gas stoves themselves should not be banned.
Question is whether one's product is for "my one thousand true fans," or every such user in the problem space, or a mix?

If possible, (like it is here on HN), metavariables should be in ALL_CAPS_AND_ITALICS, because that’s how it’s done in Unix manual pages.

If italics is not available, it might be more clear to use the $SHELL_VARIABLE convention, depending on the audience.
I think I agree with you in that I am too feeling weird that Magnus decided to let go of his title, and unlike others like Bobby Fisher he is still playing chess.
No one is banning gas stoves. They’re banning gas hookups which will indeed remove gas water heaters and furnaces.

The fact that NY’s decision to ban gas hookups in new buildings is being framed as banning gas stoves is in itself the result of gas industry propaganda. In fact,
Gas stoves are the one thing that can easily be continued because people can use gas cylinders.

As a former citizen of the USSR, I have to object to linking environmental issues to private property. The Soviets did all kinds of tremendously bad things ranking, from geo-transformation to placing the heavy industry in the middle of cities. From what I read about North Korea, the entire country is ruined by various extraction and industrial projects.
How does a gas stove make your landlord wealthier? What you are really saying is you want the entire world to adjust to your personal preferences, that is childish.
Because gas stoves are the easiest to replace. If someone doesn't have gas lines in their house, they'll just use an electric stove. Replacing a water heater or furnace either needs heat pumps or resistive heat and it becomes potentially much more expensive.

Stoves don't matter in the big picture here, they are secondary to whatever people are already doing for heat.
> It means you can buy jewelry you might want and just throw it away like you're in Brewster's Millions. At that level, who cares about utility?

If you want it, you are predicting it will give you utility. Even if it is just a few chemical reactions in your brain, and not an ROI measurable in currency.
precompile costs are 1 time. if you want to deploy, you build a sysimage and ship that. startup time is then about .5 seconds.
This looks like the biggest honeypot for legal libel.
They can continue using gas stoves with cylinders.

Most of the world does that.

Of course, what actually serious chefs find is that once the subsidy for gas is removed (by removing legislation requiring utilities and buildings to provide piped natural gas), not only are induction stoves much more effective, cook faster, etc., they also keep their kitchens incredibly cool and make them much better work environments than having a bunch of gas burners around.

For the restaurants that need woks they can use a gas stove and have a gas cylinder shipped in every morning.
A long time ago, Karsten Self did a stock demand curve analysis of software piracy:

Turns out that software piracy keeps prices lower. As consumers, we are regularly told that price of goods or services is absolutely all that matters. Therefore, why should consumers care of some pirated books appear on Amazon?
Maybe every quarter (or some other time period) have a timeboxed story to search and destroy these papercuts. One variation would have the story opened and collecting papercuts over a period of time; then when it hits a certain number, the story gets bumped up in priority.

I suspect too many of these papercuts might leave a door open that lets bugs in.
This match was super exciting to follow, I would not have predicted this outcome even a few games ago. It really felt like in both the candidates and now here Ding just grinded things out, so props to his mental endurance.

I hope they find better journalists to ask questions next around, they rightly got a lot of flack in this one.
It's unfortunate that due to a hardcoded prefix it is unusable in secondary Android profiles.
It's not that the inclusion of this one word is offensive and so the entire product is ruined. It's a matter of accessibility. The more of it (accessibility) your thing has, the more accessible the thing is.

Why add something to your product that some users find makes their time with your product worse? If there is little to no reason[0] to include a feature and removing it could help some users, then not including it or removing it is a no-brainer.

If it took you a month, it sounds like it wasn't trivial. As presented, it sounds like your prof saying that was pointless at least.

Just subjective opinion.
Hydrogen Line
I understand your comments including above and the one about CUDA binaries. Just one clarification on the concurrency in tests failure, do you mean it overloads the machine running multi process tests that then tests fail due to assumptions by the package authors?

I've found that quite some test suites have race conditions (e.g. simultaneous modification of files, etc.), which manifest themselves e.g. when a package uses pytest-xdist (and the machine has enough cores).

My main point is that Nix as a system is so incredibly powerful that perhaps there is an ability to “shadow” boring distributions,

I think things would improve vastly if it was possible to do CUDA builds in Hydra and have the resulting packages in the binary cache. My idea (when I was still contributing to nixpkgs) was to somehow mark CUDA derivations specially, so that they get built but not stored in the binary cache. That would allow packages with CUDA dependencies to get built as well (e.g. PyTorch). Nix would then only have to build CUDA locally (which is cheap, since it only entails unpacking the binary distribution and putting things in the right output paths) and would get everything else through the binary cache (like prebuilt PyTorch). But AFAIR it'd require some coordinated changes between Nix, Hydra, etc.

Then I started working for a company in the Python/Cython ecosystem and quickly found out that Nix is not really viable for most Python development. So I am now just using pyenv and pip, which works fine most of the time (we have some people in our team who are very good at maintaining proper package version bounds).

> Hmmmm, it's difficult not to assume you are yourself a lobbyist or politician

Well, it probably is difficult if one is not very good at thinking.

Regarding your edit, sure, but that's not the content of the post I replied to. That was about banning lobbying and I'm making the point that consequences of that could be counterproductive and make for an even less level playing field.
It's not just your own health though. Kids can develop asthma partially due to gas stoves and the toxic fumes that stay in the apartment for hours/days after. Some studies estimate 1/8 of all asthma cases for kids is due to gas stoves in USA.

I don't see this policy as having much of an effect against climate change but it is another step in making people aware of climate issues. Congress does not have the ability - right now - to ban cow meat or eating fish, but this would be a much better policy to aim for.
I agree as a spectator that draws are boring. However strategically it probably makes sense to draw ambiguous games and only push for a win when you have a certain advantage.
They've announced plans to do so and those plans have issues and wil take time:

I like seeing people be successful. With Elon there is always too much celebrating of announcements vs celebrating successes. He's done well selling EVs and Falcon 9 is great. Mostly he lies though so that's what I assume with any forward looking statements
I read something a while ago that resonated, and I tried it out and have had a lot of success with my kid.

If the kid is hesitant to try something that you know will end up being easy, the natural thing is to tell them it's going to be easy.

But if you tell someone something is easy, and their personal experience is already that it's hard, well, the conclusion isn't necessarily "oh I was wrong, now it's easy, thanks dad, I'll actually try now". It may instead be "oh wow I suck at the easy thing I guess".

So now I do the opposite. She's struggling with something? I tell her it's hard. And I pair it with some indication that it won't be hard forever and is worth learning.

So now if I see her struggling I don't say "This is easy, let me show you". I definitely don't say "This is easy, just give it a shot".

I say "Oh yeah, this part's hard at first. But I know a trick."

The problem with using "simple" is that it's ambiguous. Are you talking about the opposite of sophisticated? the opposite of difficult? the opposite of complex? It has virtually no meaning without context.

So if you're tempted to write simple, remove it and say exactly what you mean.

Often times, documentation writers say "simply do X" when they mean "as a prerequisite, this document assumes the reader has an understanding of Y such that they can accomplish X without any further instructions". There's nothing wrong with having prerequisites; you have to assume the reader has some knowledge upon which to build. Make that explicit rather than hidden behind a "simply".
Environments where people do stuff like that usually don’t have code review.
As someone who is team anti-papercut, Jira I think is a good example. Chances are if you use jira at work you know many people who hate jira, devs complain about it all the time, stuff that seems like it should be 1 step takes 3, and every so often someone proposes an alternative. It sticks around and dominates the space because it does solve a lot of problems and is flexible enough that it becomes entrenched in your teams workflows and for any give papercut you can generally workaround it and ignore it. Still if it didn’t have these papercuts people wouldn’t even consider replacing this behemoth with something else and I am sure there is a fair amount of user churn due to these issues, e.g. dev who hates jira starts a start up and vehemently opposes using it due to previous experiences.

The report only concluded that women didn’t have worse outcomes in acadrmia _after_ getting their PhDs. How are you taking this as a vindication of all affirmative action?

Given through my decade long academic journey I barely saw any African American PIs in biomedical sciences, I don’t think that it’s a solved problem yet for other cases. Even within gender biases, the moment you include PhD enrollment and graduation rates you’ll likely see a massive difference anyway.
If they didn’t want other use cases, they should have rethought the feature.

The reality is that proxies came first. They see a LOT of use in reactive libraries making it very likely that your classes get passed into one these proxies (and breaking if private fields are used).

They knew all this when ramrodding it through over the many protestors warning about this and other things. The fault is 100% on the hubris of the spec committee.
Joining the Apple developer program requires that you dox yourself to Apple, and ties that government identity to device hardware serial numbers. I buy my Apple devices for cash and use each one with a unique disposable Apple ID created with a burner email address and burner prepaid phone number.

This is also one of the reasons I can't pay for IAP cancer - attaching payment methods links identity to the Apple ID and hardware serial number.
Okay? Without knowing how often this happens and how often the engineers are wrong, we don’t know if this is newsworthy or not.

Out of interest, in what way does Apple break SMS usability?
I believe the only correct way to solve this is to add an RTA header on sites that permit user-generated content and require the most common devices and browsers to once again recognize this header and instead of just treating it as adult content, also use it for user-generated content. Then put the liability on the parents to lock down devices. Let parents decide which domains/urls to approve-list in the devices.

If a site with user-generated content is missing this header give them a warning, then fine them {n} percentage of their net revenue per day until remediated. After {x} days out of compliance seize their domains.

If a child/parent is having compliance issues on their devices leading to problems, hand it over to social services like they would for any other social/family issue. Social service issues are not tech platform issues.
