It feels like you’re trying to snark, but in case you’re earnestly trying to have a discussion:

No, “almost every other person on the planet” doesn’t have a “steady job” in the way you’re implying.

There are portions of the workforce that work a 9-5 full time position. There are others that do contract work where they’re temporarily focused fully on one job for a short time span, and also contractors/consultants who take smaller time commitments and work multiple contracts at the same time.

This isn’t just a tech thing, it’s true across many industries.
Fukushima was not a freak accident. The japanese coasts experience huge tsunamis every couple of decades. Yet the engineers completely underestimated the flooding risk when building the reactors. This raises the question which other risks were overlooked elsewhere.

If these ten devices are mere SKU updates, then maybe yes, they create a sliding five year support window (plus however long they're being sold), instead of a ten year one. Keeping software working for a five year old hardware platform sounds a lot easier than doing that for a ten year old one. A lot less Git branches also.
Slightly unrelated: A great way to solve this specific email issue is to store hashes for emails only, similarly to passwords. When a user needs a password reset, they should send an email to a specific address, the sender mail is hashed, and if it matches a user, a password reset link is replied. That way a data breach can’t expose user emails.

> Economics is not the thing stopping people from having kids, reduction in lifestyle is.

Technically you're somewhat correct, because it sucks to have kids when you know they'll be raised by an economically poorer you.

And as most of the people don't see themselves as economically stable given the socio-economic conditions that have been in place for the last 15-20 years, that means that many people give up having kids because of said economic reasons (so, you're also incorrect, because economics is indeed stopping people from having kids), saying something like this: "I'm already only scrapping by as it is, bringing a kid into the equation will only make things worse for me and my spouse and definitely for the kid".

Not saying that everyone thinks and acts like this, because otherwise no-one would have had children by now, but it's a strong part of the population I would say.

It's a honeypot. It prioritizes feminism / viewing issues under the lens of feminism, over solving the issues boys/men have. In bad cases, the advice given is downright self-destructive, as the political/social climate is not there for individual men to act the way that sub would recommend.

So yes, you're correct.

> "it means go bananas"

Surely it means "Balls."

"Go bananas" means "go mad", I think, although I can't derive an etymology.

"Nuts" seems to mean "mad", as in "nutty as a fruitcake", which for me brings to mind something like a Dundee cake (heavy mixture of dried fruit and nuts). I still can't derive an etymological connection between madness and (fruit|nuts).
> You have to rebuild every damn container.

I can say with great certainty: Almost no one rebuilds their damn container anywhere near as often as the the gray-beard in the basement updates the Debian packages on the the server that runs the container.

I had the debate with a client, we did monthly security update, unless something horrible happened. The client was rather upset that we didn't patch more frequently, like weekly or daily. My argumentation is that it doesn't really matter if the Linux kernel or bash is patched, when the only thing running is a container with a beta version of Tomcat that hasn't had security updates applied in three years.

Even worse are the people who just pull things from Docker Hub, with no plan as to how and when they'll pull newer versions. But fine, let's just keep running KeyCloak from 2017, and that old Postgresql image which the developer never configured to do backups, I'm sure it's fine.
I'm surprised they don't make a torrent available, instead of encouraging users to rsync the entire site.
> Our elected leadership are captive to stupid market force arguments

Perhaps recently, but the state driven housebuilding programs have met similar failures. Local authorities and their residents seem equally hostile to housebuilding whether it's made by the private sector or public sector (see the backlash faced by Labour governments under Harold Wilson or Tony Blair).

Perhaps one of the better arguments against democracy in general is that it makes housebuilding so difficult.
For me it was completely useless. I have tried to find evidence that it helps and have never been able to find any.

I hear what you're saying. :). People need to hear home truths that's for sure. Its the only way to improve. However, a bit of humour and warmth wouldn't go amiss would it? When I was a kid I played in a wind band. One weekend we had an ultra-sarcastic military guy conduct us. We reacted first with , WTF? This guy is really rude. It soon became apparent though that he had a heart of gold and could make us play really well. He cared about us, and his brusque manner was only skin deep and/or put on / an "act" . It all turned out to be pretty funny. "You do read music, do you?" was a memorable quip. We were like "can't believe he said that", but I think the recipient of that remark rather liked him in the end. It seemed to me Miles appeared not to know the people need that warmth. Which makes me wonder about autism. I must say, Herbie Hancock, who seems like a nice person and full of the warmth that Miles seems to lack, speaks warmly of Miles. So, maybe I should go away and re-read what Herbie had to say about Miles. ;)
Of course, but I was just trying to explain that sometimes you are forced to innovate due to external interfaces/dependencies.

And maybe these were introduced in other companies because their IT depts. are run by "fashion of the month", but whatever the reason, you now have a problem. And if your sw and your skillset has remained frozen in jade since the early 90s... this will be painful and probably require at least one false start before getting it to work reliably.

I have noted a tendency in people who work always on "very stable" technologies to go in crisis mode as soon they have to (for example) produce a file in XML or JSON format after 2 decades of CSVs... this unfortunately almost routinely ends in stuff which is very brittle ("XSD? you do not understand, we need to produce an XML, ... I dunno what an XSD is or has to do with this requirement - except that they both start with an X, maybe - so please do not make things unnecessarily complicated and just go back to coding, we were supposed to start testing one week ago.")

This is terrible "magic thinking" advice.

Kids are VERY counterintuitive (mine at least). Our kid has had behavioral problems at school and at home. And it's extremely difficult to understand the root of the issues (it turns out that the pandemic, moving houses, starting school and having a baby brother all at once can be a bit much for a 3 year old).

Literally EVERYONE who is not a professional told us to smack our kid into submission. But by reading stuff and talking to professionals, you learn that some kids do have weird ways of expressing their emotions, and that acknowledging that and supporting them works. You have to completely turn the way you speak to them around. It's really hard to do cause nobody wants to confort a kid who's annoying, but it works.

None of the stuff I do with my kids would have been possible had I not learnt it as an adult. Stop the magic thinking. Read about children, they're weird and wonderfully different.

I use ini files for my Windows application [1]. They are enough if you don't need multiple levels of nesting. The simpler the format is, the better.

When storing settings in config files, you can just copy the program folder to another computer and your settings will be transferred. This is called "a portable application" in the Windows world. When using the registry, you need to export the registry keys and import them, which makes it hard to backup all your apps with their settings or to set up multiple computers to use the same apps with the same settings.

Having read both the featured article and this comment, I had to look up the meaning of “thirst trap”, a phrase I had never previously encountered.

For the benefit of others not au fait with social media culture, Wikipedia describes thirst traps as ‘a type of social media post intended to entice viewers sexually. It refers to a viewer’s “thirst”, a colloquialism likening sexual frustration to dehydration, implying desperation, with the afflicted individual being described as “thirsty.”’

- These are not paid opportunities for Open Source work. This a job board. The title makes you think that there are gigs to work on some open source projects and get paid for it.

- There are no guarantees that these "open source friendly" companies will hire you to work on Open Source. Working on Open Source projects is the exception, not the rule. Unless the company has gone the full OS model, which is just a few startups. And still, sometimes these companies have other kind of work (customization for a certain client) at which point you are not involved in the OS work at all.

TLDR: once people own a house, it is no longer in their interest to let anyone else build one, and in Britain this tail wags the dog.
Note: I originally said Britain built 30k houses last year, which commenters have corrected. Thank you!

I don't really understand all this. Surely the main reason for a lack of housing is the difference between house demand (e.g. Britain took in 606k people in net immigration last year) compared to house supply (Britain built I think around 200k houses last year).

The state shouldn't need to build houses (in fact it doesn't; it just uses your tax money to pay private companies to build houses). It should just make the building and zoning rules simple enough that it's possible to make money from building houses and selling them, and let people get on with it.
I mean, there's a few things inaccurate with this statement.

The UK's targets meet the very minimum which they agreed to with other nations (Paris Accords: https://unfccc.int/process-and-meetings/the-paris-agreement) but are trotted out by the conservatives as if they're very forward thinking.

However, it was 2008 that the UK agreed that it would build more nuclear energy generation plants, and EDF planned to build 4 of those by 2017.

On 26 January 2017, the UK notified the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom) of its intention to withdraw, following on from its decision to withdraw from the European Union. Leaving has wide-ranging implications for Britain's nuclear industry, including regulation and research, access to nuclear materials and impacts about twenty nuclear co-operation agreements with non-EU countries.

The UK withdrawal raises the question of nuclear fuel availability in the UK, and the need for the UK to enter into new treaties relating to the transportation of nuclear materials, which haven't even begun.

In 2020, nuclear power generated 46 terawatt hours (TWh) of UK electricity, just over 15% of gross electricity generation, and about half its 1998 peak of 91 TWh.

The new EDF sites aren't ready and are expected to be commissioned by 2026, just in time for Hartlepool and Heysham 1 to close down.

This is actually pretty hard to get right. Just yesterday I was confused why opening my text editor under KDE didn't pop up a window. Turns out some update to KDE's focus stealing prevention (or some other involved component) changed things so the new text editor window got pushed behind existing windows.

This isn't an argument for not trying though.

1. It's not a login wall at all, "private" subs rarely have regular users receive access privileges -- generally "private" means even sub members can't access it, just admins/mods.

2. Reddit is already trying to force user signup and app usage, a-la Musk-era Twitter, this is nothing new (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24208958) -- but the blackout of subs has *not* resulted in "tons of new users" -- quite the opposite.

3. The blackouts are in response to Reddit making a bunch of shitty decisions (huge ramp of API pricing, basically killing off third-party apps... eventually making a minuscule concession for some "dedicated" accessibility apps after receiving a bunch of bad press... taking it upon themselves to take over protesting communities and install their own mods and reopen them, effectively a hostile takeover / coup to further their own ends... etc.)

That position assumes that society is relatively dumb and can be dupped into anything given enough money is spent. While in short term some of this might work, long term people tend to “wake up”, sometimes too late.

This is where various checks and balances are vital and society needs to constantly remind its young people that ends do not justify the means. Something we are definitely losing these days.

In my experience (in Edinburgh) the vast majority of people I speak to tend to view the private developments (especially the insatiable appetite for student accommodation) and short term lets far less favourably.

Granted, Edinburgh is a special case with an incredibly high demand for short term letting and students.
