I traveled around the world for over a year because I wanted to experience more cultures - I found the same problems of humanity basically everywhere just in different shades. Anyway, a hack for you - if you want immediate respect, gain some muscles. It's possible your current presence is non-threatening and people subconsciously undervalue you due to the first impression.
> #3: Object construction with closure function. We tried that wholeheartedly at contemporary project, and it was awkward. I haven't seen any popular framework do this approach either.

yeah I have been struggling with this for a while, at my project we use typescript and non stateful objects we just use plain objects, no classes. However we started using classes for stateful code, I was opposed to the idea and thought that using closure-based state would be better but I ended up losing that battle
A lot of those classes are single-instance in the application, which feels even more of an anti-pattern to be classes

To be clear I am not advocating for closure-based state, but classes also feel awkward. It feels we should just have bit the bullet and used some kind of state-management library

I'm guilty of this too, but when I look up and see 3-4 people staring down at their phones I put mine away. It's a really stark image. We are blind. It doesn't matter than the screen isn't yet mounted on our faces, we are already so oblivious to the power it holds over us. I'm staring at this screen but I should be staring at the beautiful view out of my window. So I might go do that now!
> He has demonstrated his frugal lifestyle, has publicly given away an incredible amount of money to good causes, and has stated his future goals for his businesses will be for charity.

Pretty much all of this is typical “rich philanthropist” stuff, just dialled down to appeal to a demographic cohort of 20-35 year olds.

It’s incredibly easy to be altruistic when literally every financial and social incentive says you should. I think people are uncomfortable with this because he hasn’t sacrificed anything. His financial incentives just line up with “doing good things”. When they no longer align it still remains to be seen whether he will act the same.
In this context, I’d probably just call it “experimentation”.

I was about to type that maybe it's about intention, but then I realised that expectation of feeling good is a reward based motivation.

Having behaviours that benefit your group rewarded and reinforced seems an obvious survival trait. It feels good, like reproduction. I wonder it's purely societal evolution or if there's a genetic component there.

Maybe it's hard to reconcile all this because calling something altruism is subjective, since we are not all knowing.
I hit an oddly specific realization this weekend while working on an architectural spec: I make better documentation with a color multipen.

The reason why is because it allows a diagram to support more of the cross-cutting concerns by drawing a red arrow or a green arrow through things instead of a blue one.

It's a big moment in my realizations around technical communication. Like, I already knew this stuff mattered, but it's made more concrete when you can look at a diagram and the holistic whole helps you make more sense of things even if the details aren't right yet.
intiially i wanted to point out a potential issue with using large /etc/hosts file in windows, but ended up finding a (potential) fix in this thread.

regardless, after using this list for a long time, i do recommend setting up your own dns server or use a service that does (such as pi-hole and nextdns already suggested by others) with this list enabled.

on mobile, i found that ad-blocking dns services that offer DNS-over-HTTPS (such as adguard dns) offer a much more elegant option that does not require an app nor configuring every network you connect to.

I'd like to add that doing this is very risky, because it can be quite hard to know how strong the tea ends up being, and so it's easy to take too much.

It's slightly more verbose but I have mostly stopped using the & notation to produce functions out of thin air[1]. I find the following code is much more easily readable - more welcoming to the less experienced, less brain load for the more experienced:

#/usr/bin/env elixir

"file.json"
|> File.read!()
|> Jason.decode!()
|> Enum.flat_map(fn x -> x["children"] end)
|> Enum.map(fn x -> {x["id"], x} end)
|> Enum.into(%{})

[1] The `&a_function_with_odd_arguments(&2, &1)` type notation can still be very useful and is (subjectively) a bit less symbol-salad.

Not really because she mentions SEC doesn't evaluate the businesses themselves when they apply for an IPO.

Coinbase doing an IPO (and them using this argument against SEC) is not being compared to heroin.

The comparison is that Coinbase would go to SEC and ask "hey we want to sell these bitcoin futures and securities, is it okay?" and SEC says "nope it isn't" and Coinbase just says "okay we'll sell it anyways", which is exactly what they did.

They knew the law existed and applied to crypto, yet they decided to go against it anyways because they thought they could get away with interpretation shenaningans.

This changes what, exactly? Are you suggesting that the government act as a free lawyer to everyone asking?

Example: 'Would it be fraud if I bought an Amazon gift card with my credit card and sold it for cash since that would be a cash advance but it went through as a regular purchase?'

CUDA is the best supported solution, tends to get you access to the best performance, has a great profiler (it will literally tell you things like "your memory accesses don't seem to be coalesced properly" or "your kernel is ALU limited" as well as a bunch of useful stats), even works in windows, all of that.

OpenCL is (was?) the main open alternative to CUDA and was mainly backed by AMD and Apple. Apple got bored of it when they decided Metal was the future. AMD got bored of it when they developed rocm and HIP (basically a partially complete compatibility layer with CUDA).

There's also stuff like DirectML which only works on windows and e.g. various (Vulkan, directx etc.) compute shaders which are really more oriented at games.

There's also a bit of a performance aspect to it. Obviously GPGPU stuff is massively performance sensitive and CUDA gets you the best performance on the most widely supported platform.

AMD are also the main competitor in the space but all but totally dropped support for GPGPU in desktop cards, trying to instead focus on gaming for Radeon and compute in MI/CDNA. They seem to have realised their mistake a bit and are now introducing some support for RDNA2+ cards.

As much as I agree with that analysis. I still think being charitable instead of blowing money on hookers, drugs and cars is something to applaud.

Just like many other celebrities that continue to make money of their lifestyle which isn’t something to applaud.

I believe Snoop Dog did his fair share of charity but I definitely don’t applaud his endeavors in pornography and drugs.

On the other hand I don’t have any idea if mr.Beast spends money on hookers.

But if I would choose which content should be more available on the internet I’d go with me.Beast not Snoop Dog.

Wait, what assumption did I make? You said that Ribena, Irn Bru and friends are "childhood tastes". I made no other assumption. The rest of my comment is my experience of living in the UK.

And there's nobody more sorry of this than me but the food in the UK is shite. There's this story I like to tell where I was buying bread from the Waitrose and it tasted like carton, like it had a distinct taste of wet box. So I figured they just don't know how to make bread because they're British and bread is not their thing. So I bought some flour and made my own bread... and it tasted exactly the same. Because it was the flour that tasted like carton. That was wholemeal flour, Waitrose own brand, and Waitrose is supposed to be "posh" or "poncy" or whatever. "Supposed" as in the British call it that because it has decent produce, imagine that.

And if it was just the bread! Everything I've ever eaten Made in Britain tastes bland, odorless, tasteless, like the perfect murder poison.

Then I take the ferry and cross to France and finally bread tastes of bread, again, cheese tastes of cheese, coffee tastes of coffee and not of boiled rotten socks. The fruit and veg is still not stellar, mind, but at least I can finally enjoy food. And if I take the train and go back home, every stop on the way I can taste the coffee getting better the farther away I move from those wretched, miserable rain-drenched isles.

But, you know, the turnips are fine.
> I'm trying to put myself into spez's shoes. If I were him, I would sue.

Yes, that's what I'd expect from an admin who abuses their power to win arguments through manipulation and falsely accuses others of blackmailing him while being disproven by evidence.
If he sues "spezless" it's not because he's being reasonable, but because he's spez.
Agree with it or not, it does make some sense I guess.

Entryism has been a fairly effective strategy for subverting conservative institutions, and I don't think McCarthy style communist hunting was actually in the long run an effective solution. It just ended up creating martyrs and justified a persecution narrative that bolstered the left-wing cause.

The logical solution for the right is to form institutions with such a "stink" from a leftist point of view, that nobody wants to associate with them for fear of permanently tarnishing their reputation.

I'm just a bit allergic to unnecessary dependencies and Guava is a massive blob of a jar. It's not properly modularised so you can't just pick the bits you need, if you want to use a single feature from it you have to include all of them. This can cause problems if someone who wants to use your framework also wants to use a different version of guava.

In general the fewer dependencies your framework has the easier it is for people to use it.
I agree my hypothetical is a long shot, but it is mainly just to illustrate that even if the U.S took this hypothetical road and decided to argue for cutting copyright back to something like 20 years that people on HN often seem to think is the way to go, it is unlikely that European countries would find that acceptable - which means that probably it would get dropped because it would be a pretty big issue if in Europe it was 70 years and in US it was 20.

Uniqlo's core business is apparel. They buy in massive bulk. Mr Beast buys in maybe tens of thousands.
And in terms of technology specifically, HN is too cynical and curmudgeonly to ever find itself ahead of the curve, or even aware of the state of the art much of the time. Most of HN's predictions are obvious extrapolations, wishful thinking or blithe dismissals of whatever the kids think is cool.
True. But often, you have to work on things you don’t necessarily enjoy to survive/succeed. Eg. Marketing for indie developers who likes to code and like independence.

In real life, I’m sure prestige and dominance are mixed. Pure prestige and pure dominance would be hard to find.

But I see it as a useful construct to delineate the differences regardless, because it maps pretty easily onto the traditional question of “is it better to be feared or loved”? Most people have been exposed to Machiavelli in one way or another, and understand the distinction between the carrot and stick.
Showing signs of stress already, takes too long for posting comments, searches across federated instances won't always show up, etc.

A federated social network is good in theory and ideal to achieve, but when you actually go and implement the designs and code, it gets too messy and complicated too quickly. On top of that, the lemmy guys also tried to create a generic standard to achieve federation with mastodon instances too! That I think was a bit too much than they could chew. They should have made lemmy robust first and tried including others.

Another fun one is scroll-triggered animations, as one would commonly find on an Apple product detail page, as just an example.

The problem is that it assumes smooth scrolling input, typically a touchpad or a touch-only device. The experience completely breaks down into wild stuttering when scrolling with friction: mouse-wheel that scrolls with discrete steps or the classic "drag the scollbar" interaction.

Even when using smooth scrolling input it sucks, as you carefully need to time/verify your scroll speed as content appears/disappears based on force applied.

I believe americans are obsessed with status as some sort of social marketplace. But it seems that technological societies place less of importance on status. Apart from business CEOs, and academics (where status is mandatory for survival), most technologists don't appear to be obsessed with status. People go about with nicknames, you rarely see "credits" pages in applications, and most of the world's best engineers are not known outside their small circle.

The most socialist societies seem to place a lot of emphasis on the process and less on status , making people interchangeable

As for whether social status increases number of offspring in today's world, please show me the data to support this instead of making wild extrapolations from thousands of years ago.

This is a bit of a limited view on how this clubbing goes down in practice. I'd even dare say it can on occasion work out just as well as therapy. The effect it has on how one experiences, feels, gets drawn into, the music is hard to describe, but for that experience alone it's not wasted in my opinion. Apart from that there's way more to 'clubbing' on MDMA than just being in the club. People more often than not go outside or to a quiet(er) space to just talk (easier on outdoor parties/festivals/warehouse-type raves etc but you get the piont). In fact this switching between partying and talking just makes the whole thing a lot better, the partying gives you a break of the deep conversations. The bonds formed with friends or strangers who become friends by shared thoughts there are pretty much for life.
On a technicality I can truthfully state that I once DJ'd at Revolver in 1998.

I dislike Elixir's abuse of sigils (it's inhereted from Perl via Ruby).

The capture operator syntax in Elixir isn't a very ergonomic design.

It uses the same symbol for both fun and arguments, and also for MFAs (&M.f/a).

It doesn't allow nesting, so in these cases there is no choice but to use the full notation.

In case the intent isn't clear from the code, I'll also use the full notation.

Also, I think it's much more acceptable to use shorthand/sugar in one-off scripts rather than in "real" code.

NOTE: in your example you use "x" for argument, so it's not much better than "&1". Since you already using the full notation, it's better to meaningfull argument names, such as "item" and "subitem".
