Along these lines, if there's one place where the left and the right in the US have an easy opportunity to cooperate and yet for some reason don't, it's on Chinese emissions.

China's responsible for almost a third of all the CO2 emissions in the world, and they have some of the dirtiest industry on the planet [1]. They got their own relaxed version of the Paris Accords and haven't even been meeting those standards. You don't really see anyone dinging them for any of this though.

Now the left really dislikes emissions and the right simply dislikes China. So you'd think there would be an incentive for them to cooperate on this issue but they don't.

I think it underscores how so much of politics is basically secular religion now and really about identifying with your tribe, like the issue on the left is probably that they don't want to admit a lot of this climate problem is someone else's fault, and the issue on the right is they don't want to admit there's a problem in the first place.

In October, the American Bar Association rated Barrett "well qualified" for the Supreme Court opening, its highest rating.[115] The ABA confines its evaluation to the qualities of "integrity, professional competence, and judicial temperament

The ABA rated her as well qualified. I'm doing to defer to them. I do understand your point that she had never had a judgeship before her appeals appointment in 2017, of which she served a little over 3 years in that position.

Ok, that's great, but anthropomorphization of nature isn't at issue here. The world is better for humans like me and one assumes also you when humans care about environmental impacts on humans.

Like...if someone is in a nihilistic death mindset, doesn't care about their own survival, doesn't care about whether the planet is hospitable to them personally, whatever, great, personal choice, knock yourself out. Literally. But there are quicker and more ethical ways to accomplish that without also taking down the people who do care.

I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted. This statement is 100 percent accurate. It is tough being middle class right now. Inflation has drastically outstripped our pay raises. The price of housing, gas, and common food items is way up.
i love s-expressions, but they have closing tags, so to me they are precisely not what the parent example shows. i prefer writing html with closing tags because then i can use any xml parser and my editor can jump from opening to closing tag and back.

The other nice thing abuot xhtml is you could generate it with xslt. So your AJAX calls (returning results as XML in those days) were easy to format for display and easy to sort, filter, and query without making another round-trip.

> Just because someone says you are a Christian because you were baptized or whatever doesn't make it so. Religion is just as much a choice as an occupation.

Hard disagree here. I didn't choose to be born to parents of a fundamental baptist cult. I didn't choose to be subjected to physical abuse in the name of that religion, or to be sent to seminars ingraining deeply harmful ideas about self and the roles of men/women. I didn't choose to spend my entire adult life in therapy unwinding the bizarre ideas that had been hammered into me as a kid.

Yes, you can "choose" to leave your religion behind, but many cannot choose to avoid the indoctrination, abuse and twisted mental models that can come from the experience.

I left my faith behind around age 18. 20 years later I'm still actively working on getting rid of the rest of the baggage.
If anything that's a good thing because it seems to reduce inequality. There's too much inequality for the investment/consumption balance to be healthy long term.

From what I've read, the current theory is that access is initially possible using the cellular modem. Building and running a custom Android wouldn't necessarily help in that case, because the modem/baseband firmware is completely isolated and runs independently of the OS.

Yes, and I find the arguments against quite funny. Because we are already deep into geoengineering it, only in the wrong direction. This is the whole idea behind the proposed, new anthropocene epoch. There is nothing natural behind what is happening now, it’s all literally engineered. Sure, the point hasn’t been to directly affect the climate, only inadvertently so. But that’s even worse.
> Note: it remains the responsibility of the author to know which tags are self-closing.

And they should be able to get almost all of the way there by remembering one very simple rule: self-closing tags to insert something at that point in the document, open/close tags to describe the content they surround.

I disagree with this conclusion because it's taking as implicit the assumption that the organization is the thing to be victorious, which is a misunderstanding of organizational politics.

There is no organization. There is only people. Some of those people, like your boss or your investors, may want you to burn yourself out or do unethical things to your customers so they can make more money. It's your prerogative to tell them to fuck off, and go work somewhere else if you don't get your way. Some people don't have that capacity. Software developers generally do.

Perverse organizational incentives will pressure you to be bad. Refuse.

> Reminder Linux is too big (MLoCs, and megabytes of object code) for it to be anywhere near bug-free.

I don't necessarily disagree, but I also think that almost every piece of software in common use is probably too big to actually be bug free. The bar is far lower than millions of lines of code for "to big to not have bugs"; I'd expect that line to be crossed in the tens of thousands, if not lower.
My code, by twisting this finding, is bug-free.

"I know WSJ has coined the term "richcession" to describe the elimination of high paying jobs and their replacement with more lower paying ones."

"Middleclasscession" would be a better term although even harder to pronounce. It seems no matter what's happening, the rich will get richer, middle class and lower will get poorer. I still can't get my head around the fact that during COVID the top x percent doubled their net worth while most of everybody else lost out.
Yes, exactly. I called them goals in my original post. You call them use cases. Diataxis refers to them as modes. I think it's worthwhile to explore whether there are more modes out there, and whether the existing 4 modes is the most useful framing. And the natural way to do this is to look at docs in the wild and think about how they line up with the existing modes.
Not all debt is bad. I have enough cash to buy a car, but the manufacturer was willing to give me a loan at 0% interest. I pay for as many things as possible on my credit cards and then pay them off every time I get paid while accumulating rewards. There are tax benefits to having a mortgage, and the loan is backed by the house; it is usually a far better situation than renting.

On the other hand, taking out massive loans (several times what you had) for education is questionable in most cases. I've known people who are reasonably intelligent who think it is a good idea to send their children to private universities with high tuition for undergrad degrees in fields that the school isn't known for, which I find baffling.

Almost any web server can be configured to provide a generic response to a specific request, for example by ignoring some or all of the url path, and in practice I would bet that a majority of actual instances do this for at least some sets of requests. (To confirm my theory in 20 seconds I checked if https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=nonexistent_user_1620 returns a 404 or a 200 - it's the latter.)

It's silly to pretend that the use of a 404 in this type of circumstance is either clearcut in the standards or ubiquitous in practice.
Man, that is hooey, if we're talking launch (day one) titles. The US Dreamcast launch lineup was spectacular.

Leading the way was Soul Calibur, one of a handful of games to earn a perfect score from Famitsu[1] and it actually blew away the arcade version (!)

NFL2K was also a launch title and while I'm sure a lot of the HN crowd is allergic to sports titles, it was far superior to contemporary versions of Madden... got correspondingly high reviews as well

Sonic Adventure was pretty spectacular too I thought, I would call that an 8.5 or 9/10 (like a lot of 3D platformers it maybe hasn't "aged well" but at the time, I thought it was spectacular and it was well reviewed)

Power Stone was a blast too.... Hydro Thunder.... bunch of other solid ones. Day one.

https://www.mobygames.com/group/13786/launch-title-dreamcast...

Here was the PS1 launch lineup. Ridge Racer is the only really good title here, excluding previous-gen ports like NBA Jam and Rayman. Toshinden was obviously mindblowing as the first polygon fighter many played but it's sort of a notoriously bad game.

https://www.kotaku.com.au/2020/06/playstation-launch-titles/

But in some ways that just shows Dreamcast had already lost the war before it launched. Sega did everything right and hit the ground running with what many consider the greatest launch title lineup in history, but their rep was too tarnished.
