I am not clear how this proves or disproves anything. Deer seek out mushrooms that are poisonous to us. We seek out coffee beans, whoch are poison to insects but caffeine is fine for us in small doses. Etc.

Also caffeine is a top tier drug.

What you’re saying is only partially correct - Yes, for more exploratory programming for a new product with full US/EU/CANZUK based dev workforce it makes sense to prioritize maintainability.

For a company complaining about infrastructure costs for a product that has been cloned many times over, and which is large enough to hire offshore devs, the cost equation favours rewriting in something like Go, Rust or even Java. These are quite tailored towards Reddit’s current use case and many companies including Twitter did that rewrite.

This just isn't true.

If your parents are rich and you get some of that as an adult, you simply won't have to work, have strategy, and won't need as much discipline. You might not need these things at all, at least not on the same level as anyone poor. Or heck, you won't need as much as anyone mildly comfortable. Setbacks won't even affect you the same way, and you won't even have some of them. You won't risk losing your home because you had to miss work to get your car fixed, for example, both because your job allows for you to miss work and get paid and because you aren't driving those sorts of cars.

Not spending $5 gambling on the lottery (a vice!) isn't going to get you financial freedom, nor is avoiding drinking a couple times a month. If you are born in America and born poor, it is very unlikely that you'll be able to do anything but work your life away and barely make it. That sort of mobility - the sort folks site with the 'American dream' - simply isn't a thing. You don't work your way out of poverty: You luck your way out. Having rich parents is one of the biggest factors in whether or not you get this freedom in life.

Great work and great concept - I found the copy to be clear and communicated the value proposition effectively, and I would certainly consider using this when selling my house since I could potentially get 10s of thousands of dollars more. I will also check back to see if there are different listings here than on Zillow, but will probably forget if you don’t send me a reminder.

One small UX bug: on mobile
the hamburger menu obscures the Sign Up form, and I missed that I needed to click the X - closing the menu when I click an item would solve this. Other than that, it was pretty easy to use!

The idea of being able to get information directly from the person living in the house is appealing to me.

I understand the up front fee to sell, but wish I could de-risk by being able to get it refunded if I don’t sell.

Very interesting, I hope to keep an eye on your company!

What I meant is that in German there is die, der and das (neutral) which at least gives an idea of something neither masculine nor feminine.

In French we indeed have "je" (I) and "tu" (you) that is non-gendered but as you noted the sentence still holds the genre.

The idea to introduce "iel" (and contraction of "il" (he) and "elle" (she)) did not catch and I think I never saw it being used in practice. Now, your last point is very interesting - there is no way to say "I am new" in a non-gendered way in French (I have not seen anyone discussing this, actually)

Ah, yes. Only work will set you free. What a reasonable statement.
I experience it exactly like you.

I need some time to recover to get my brain functioning again. When I finish my 8 to 4 work day of average intensity (as in not exceptionally stressful or busy), WFH I'm with my kids, there are a lot of things I can't do until I have some rest. You mention hangover, perhaps. Is more like waking up after only sleeping 4 hours.

When the kids are on bed and the house jobs are done, say 9pm I can have a shower and I may be 80% to do any intellectual activity. Sometimes, as you say, may be watching a series or something like that; definitely not rockets.

Exercising to lose weight is a myth and this is well known in all circles relating to fitness, sport, etc. The main question is why is this idea so prevalent in the mainstream if more or less everyone who's even a bit educated on the matter agrees that it's bogus?
Thanks for the link. Among other things it made be feel old, as in I have a post on my blog from back then writing about the Lisp to Python switch that Reddit was carrying out and it’s interesting to see computer programmers that look like they’re in their early 30s or such and not knowing about it at all.

Those were more interesting and especially more vibrant times when it came to the web. Granted, the money was not as abundant as it is now.

Shorter work week doesn't mean you can't work more. People like Carmack (and me) would still fill up most of our lives with "work". But there's a big difference between doing it because you want to and doing it because you have to.

I worked for a little while in a scientific institute. I worked as a programmer but I had to know a bit of the science to do my job. I quickly realised that I would never be truly successful in this field because I just wasn't as into it as others were. For many of the people there the science was their life. Similar to how computers was my life before I worked there. My work could never compete with their passion.

The point of the shorter work week is to stop forcing people to do what they don't want to do for so long.
What do they mean by "gyro-based"?
That’s my point - I think fire is a density thing and there is a lot of it in most buildings.

We have had some earthquakes of greater magnitude than 7.9, and some with truely massive ground movement relative to their magnitude.

Napier earthquake (7.8) would be the closest in time and magnitude, but the population was tiny (<20k) in comparison to San Fransisco so building density was much lower.

We have had some very bad ones, but the low population has been helpful but some cities (like Christchurch) have been hit very hard.

You surely can say some things about "average". But someone working physical still has greatly different food needs, than someone only working in an office and being a couch potato afterwards.

Or for example I usually avoid sausage and fat meat as it is heavy on the stomach and weight. But the last days I have been in the mountains, walking over ice and snow. Fat meat was excellent, because with the cold, I burned lots of energy.

'I was persuaded to deposit the funds to platform that would generate us much profits on a daily basis. The profits generated significantly, but on asking on how my withdrawal of the funds ,the swindler provided multiple excuses and was asking me to invest more funds.

Time flies. I still remember when there were quite some discussions in the communities when the initial reddit team made it public that they were switching from Lisp to Python for development. It created a lot of controversy, especially the specific reasons they named. I think quite some of them happened here on hacker news. Back then of course reddit was just a tiny startup as many.

So it is funny to see this now popping up as a news item. Shows, how long this is in the past and how much reddit has grown in size.

I think the most charitable interpretation is that they're having some kind of mental health issue. You could tell them that if they're currently unable to work for unrevealed personal reasons then they have to be considered on sick leave. That means that after some reasonable grace period they have to supply documentation. At that point, you'll either know more about what the underling issue is, or have very solid grounds for firing them.

I think firing them now is also a reasonable decision to make (but perhaps a little on the harsh side, depending on the time frame).

That is no different than how cocaine is purified from its respective plants, forming an addictive substance.

I have had single-drive btrfs filesystems lock up on me twice; i.e. file manipulation commands like `ls` freeze and "take forever". In both cases, there was a hardware failure of the drive. I believe that the frozen processes went into uninterruptible sleep (so they couldn't be killed).

It is totally understandable that if the underlying driver starts returning errors, btrfs (or any other filesystem) may be unable to provide access to my data; but I was not at all happy about having to reboot the entire machine.

(I must admit, it is possible that the "freezing" was happening in underlying block device driver code and not in btrfs. I don't remember if I ever checked wchan to see which it was. My impression from reading dmesg output was the issue seemed to be with btrfs.)

I did once have a similar experience with ZFS as well. Sigh.

This is an example of a XVI century French text: https://transcriptions-actes.pagesperso-orange.fr/16eme_siec...

Reading the original is close to impossible (but, hey, I think the same of my children's and mother's handwriting so this is not a good argument :))

The transcript si very, very difficult to read. Both the vocabulary and the grammar are significantly different from contemporary French. It is possible by carefully analyzing the text to understand the general ideas (having learned latin and liking etymology helps).

The texts from the XVI-XVIII centuries we learn at school are basically translated (some words are left to pretend that the text is close to the original).

Lemmy is the closest thing to Reddit. The community is small now, but it's growing exponentially due to this Reddit protest and migration. I'm looking forward to see its future. It's a bit confusing at first for new joiners though. But when you get it (it works like email), it's truly brilliant. Luckily I moved to Lemmy to see a whole new paradigm that excites me about the Internet again.

But for Discord, it's good when you need to interact with someone, but otherwise it's overwhelming with chat flows. And it's also a blackhole of information.

I’ve been migrating workloads away from x86 and towards ARM on AWS and GCP since they’ve been available. This review does a great job of kinda giving you an idea of what you are gonna get as a platform, but if you are interested I strongly recommend the experience on any cloud provider.

While there was some work to benchmark and validate, the cost savings have been non-trivial. Plus this change happened as we were all switching to the M series Macs so ironically now our entire chain end to end is off x86.
