If the spirit of the original Jargon file was to be a living document, alas, it failed to keep with the times.

Hackers at large have moved away from Lisp despite Paul Graham and other evangelists, Linux ate Unix, and there have been several bright subcultures which have no meaningful presence in either edition of the Jargon file. Considering self-professed tribalism of the original authors, it’s hardly surprising.

Hackers also have moved away from academia at large, and 9-5 jobs at tech behemoths are more natural habitats for them, which also shaped the lingo. I mean, there’s a whole layer of slang usually pertinent to outsourcing agencies and to cubicle farms.

It would be interesting to have a compilation of jargon as it evolved through the 1990s and 2000s too.

Very much depends on your country and your particular tax situation, of course. The US is pretty good for FIRE (aside from dealing with health insurance). Ireland (where I live) is terrible, by comparison.
3,5% is actually the maximum ABV you can get in supermarkets in Sweden by law. For anything higher ABV than that you need to go to the government-owned chain called Systembolaget or go to a bar or restaurant that has a license to serve alcohol.

Because of the restrictions though, craft breweries have been making some great <3,5% beers that they sell at supermarkets.
Those are the same things.
This is rough. As a developer, I can 100% see why there could be a ton of legit reasons to need this. As a user, there's no way in hell I would trust you not to be nefarious, unless you had a very detailed and clear explanation AND the rest of your app also strongly signaled "competent and trustworthy." And even then I would be wary. The company/app you trust today could be acquired by a company you despise tomorrow. But also as a user, I find location tracking for myself to be incredibly useful.

To that last point, I am curious: is there any good comprehensive open sourced and audited alternatives to eg Tile or Find My?
Mandate? How about just compensating them differential based on the assumed WEI vs non-WEI clickfraud rates?
> The interested always find a way

Yes, I agree, those who are already interested or motivated need less help.

But to educate most people, and young developing minds especially, brief browsy exposure to unplanned topics is what might create the interest and motivation in the first place. The peripheral glances at compelling covers and spines. The topics you didn’t come to search for and maybe you didn’t even know exist.

You can’t search an opaque virtual library for what you haven’t yet seen a spark or crumb of. Hands-on, tactile, flip flip flip, put it back, flip flip flip … irreplaceable.
Very valid points. Those who have to conduct the war must consider these things - supply chain issues, production bottlenecks, existing stockpiles - and prioritize targets accordingly. Choosing between potentially causing a nuclear disaster and disabling power generation from cleaner sources is a no-brainer for me. I'd leave the reactor intact and re-evaluate the sensibility of that decision daily in case something changes. There are so many higher value targets available that would have a noticeable effect on the adversary's ability to continue waging war that those higher-value targets should get a higher priority.

It's a lot like WWII where Allied aerial bombardment campaigns tried to target oil refining, ball bearing production, railroads and critical transportation infrastructure like bridges, factories where tanks, planes, and other vehicles were manufactured, and rocket launching facilities. Those targets, if you can keep hitting them so that they never come back to full capacity will give a tangible advantage.

Another vote for Guinness NA. Mikkeller also makes good NA beers, but pricey at $24/6 pack.

> I feel like this perspective comes from not having coming face to face with the nihilistic, sociopathic behavior of a decent percent of the underclasses.

I got more experience in that than one might believe on a tech forum, from working as a bartender in soddy half-casino half-bar locations.

The entire point of dismantling and rebuilding police from scratch obviously includes creating actually sustainable structures to help people with issues: expanding mental health care access, housing-first programs, financial/food aid and safe injection sites would be the top priorities.

Someone with mental health issues and a drug addiction on top isn't going to get helped by getting arrested and thrown into jail repeatedly, and yet that seems to be the common approach to such people worldwide.
Show HN: Client management software for digital freelancers and agencies
I'm new to HN, so apologies if I get a few things wrong.

My co-founder and I were agency owners. I had a design and dev shop, he had a marketing agency.

We found that being super responsive to clients was a non negotiable for success (eg., responding to adhoc questions, justifying invoices), but it took a lot of effort during a project and came at a cost.

That cost was sales and building pipeline, resulting in the "feast or famine" situation that digital creatives talk about in terms of revenue. So we have started creating a CRM for digital creatives.

Our CRM takes is design for digital creatives. It is powered by AI and rules to make client management and engagement more efficient, by taking away those awkward money and scope conversations.

In Tango we have started with gathering information with less effort and simplifying proposals, contracts and payment, but will be extending further in the coming months to communications and pipeline management.

Would love your feedback!
Tinted windows are such a pet peeve of mine. I get it in the tropics but in most of America the individual benefits of dark tint seem like they’d be outweighed by the collective good of better visibility through cars, enabling eye contact with drivers, etc.

The SUV craze is really to blame - in general many US states don’t allow dark tint on traditional cars but do on SUVs. And since rear windows on vans and light trucks (aka SUVs) are exempted from window tint restrictions, pull up to a typical intersection in the US and look around and you can’t see worth a damn.

Somehow it’s ok for a Subaru Crosstrek to have dark tint but not an Impreza that is the same car but lower? There are even more weird situations like the Mercedes Benz GLA compact CUV which typically has tinted windows, but not the top-of-the-line AMG trim because that one has a lowered suspension, making it a “car” instead of a “light truck”.
actually the entire block of text, is from the article, none are my comments,
i posted this for convenience so people would have it righthere.

so please take this into account.
Why do I compare to the EU? Besides that fact I am from there (and you say you’re from there, so we have a shared frame of reference), rural commuting there is vastly more common compared to the USA. Over the last decade I have lived in villages in two EU countries where the nearest shop has been over in the next village, a few km along a tertiary highway, and the bicycle serves as a common way for me and my neighbours to travel that distance – and most of my neighbours are older people, since such are the demographics of rural areas.

That gives me an idea of what minimum infrastructure and driver behaviour is required for ordinary people to cycle. And in spite of your preference for 100% separated infrastructure, that doesn’t seem obligatory and I don’t think it crosses any of my neighbours’ minds.
"The average user" is literally never a useful metric here.

Federation and federation type ideas should be enough; let's get (back?) to a place like cars mostly used to be. You should theoretically be able to know a friend who can fix your car if you don't want to be a mechanic, and the same for "computer stuff."
So the job of police is (or at least should include) not crime fighting, but beating some sense into the underbelly of society?

You talk about preventing kids from growing up and becoming bad people, but consider what it does to a kid (or any person for that matter) to see the government only interact with anyone through violence. Is that not going to exacerbate the problem?
This guy asked for examples for my position and I gave them. All I can do is stand up for my position despite it being unpopular.
> Well, they care, but just not about the students who are already excelling (and already bringing up test score averages). I've got a kid in elementary school, and it's pretty evident most of the school's resources are spent on the worst-performing kids, leaving the smarter ones bored and unchallenged. Yea, it was like this too when I was in grade school in the '80s, but it seems much worse today.

This is basically the education reform movement of the 90s and aughts getting their wish via the monkey-paw. Schools and teachers are measured and judged on how kids perform on standardized tests. Your kid is likely in the 95%+ percentile so there’s not much room for “growth” as far as the metrics are concerned. So their efforts are on pulling up kids from the 5th percentile up closer to the median.

Also, it’s not uncommon for low performing students parents to sometimes freak out at the school if their kid starts falling behind, so everyone scrambles to get these kids back on track so the parents don’t pull their kids from school (which will only make things worse for the kids academics)
This looks like a living map of MMO OldSchool RuneScape. And since there is a cache drop down it probably is simulating many versions of a world.
Intelligence Squared does this but I think most debates suck anyways.
Some basic spellcheck would be helpful (it’s in wrong place, “parallize” missing el etc)
> The problem is that it was an opinion about me.

You are reading into this really negatively. I said nothing judgemental toward you in my reply and only mentioned that you don't always have to respond. I have no wish to argue with you in a state like this. I'm going to leave this conversation before it becomes any more negative. Have at it.
So? How is that relevant to this discussion? You're the first person bringing the phrase up.
As always, first promise promise only for the biggest crimes, terrorist et al.. then suddenly it used for someone consuming weed. And then we are all excited to see what happens when the next ruler with dictatorship ambitions comes into place.

All for the good, "I had a bad feeling when voting for it but it was against the bad guys, right?" blablahblah, "noone could have ever expected it", "why do people always assume it goes that way" - bah.
> Most other professionals get paid for the hours they work and then we either have to keep working or invest some of our earnings to have enough to live on

When people talk about the rich pitting the working class against each other, this is exactly what they're talking about. Rather than saying "yeah, fuck the man, we're all in this together!", you've chosen "why should they get out of eating the shit of our owners? They should learn to eat shit just like the rest of us!"
I'm not even American, I'm German. Our police are better than in the US, but still nowhere near the quality one generally observes in your police officers. IIRC, you Brits run a completely different, community-based approach, in contrast to almost anywhere else. And unlike even us Germans, there are barely any guns, which is a serious game-changer in how cops can interact with citizens safely.
The British police don't do anything.

Google is, to a first approximation, the web's only search engine. As such I think there's an argument to be made that declaring your bot's User-Agent as Googlebot is a technical necessity, similar to how every browser declares itself as Mozilla.
I always liked this viewpoint a lot. I'm enjoying with abandon some dusty lectures that Vito Volterra gave in Madrid on differential and integrodifferential equations, while helping also to create Functional Analysis (a Functional being the analogue of a dual vector). He is constantly exploiting this analogy method from finite variable constructions to infinite, also uncountable variables. Even up to showing some embarrassment of being too repetitive with the idea! People in teaching should join and take a peek.

In SQL as you've said, nullability is explicit. It's arguably the wrong way around (i.e. NOT NULL rather than NULLABLE), but it is explicit. I feel the issue comes from the intersection of languages without explicit nullability and their data storage techs; removing that explicit typing from SQL doesn't fix the issue.

(I feel you agree with this btw, just being explicit)
To start, I think it's better to avoid thinking in terms of an "outcome". That word implies an end scenario, such as total destruction of mankind.

The future will probably go through many different stages, also varying geographically.

There are many science fiction novels that explore futures with androids. Most of them have a different scenario.

I personally think that life will not change all too much. We will still mostly be busy eating, sleeping, trying to find a sex partner, and trying to avoid dying.

One random thing that I think will change society more than AI is human cloning -- things will probably change as soon as some rich people can buy 100,000 clones of themselves.

And that's just one random thing. Extending your life to an age of 10,000 years is another. Or a third world war because of climate change. Or some new financial derivative. All these should be factored in if you want to predict the future. More than two options :)
What did the Japanese council say? Link me something to read!

Also, what do you mean by "a site like this?" Lmao
Go indeed has a simplicity and elegance that makes it really easy to write code which is highly performant and easy to maintain. That is the only reason I picked go when moving from common lisp.
does he suggest that if we put police cameras in people's homes that would eliminate a lot of domestic incidents? The issue is a bit more nuanced than he's making out.
This is the exact opposite of what the article is saying. When somebody is deciding whether to walk or drive to their destination, they don't pull up a scientific journal and consult the latest studies, they think about whether it feels safe and dignified. If you ignore the perceived threat of cyclists whizzing every which way while ignoring all traffic laws, you'll find fewer people choosing to walk and have no idea why.
If the shop is on the way, then it's 0 minutes spent on transport, the only time spent is the actual time in the shop.
That’s a shame to hear. While I understand why Norway taxes alcohol, placing such high taxes on a low-alcohol alternative encourages purchase of higher alcohol options in the same product category.

Ideally low alchol beer would have a mild tax discount to encourage sustainable consumption.
I drink miller 64. It's 2.8%. I like it, very light.
Did you reply to the wrong thread? Where did defense subsidies come from?
Yes of course if you stop lots of people you will find criminals. If you go door to door you will as well.

Stop and frisk reduced crime as well.

It’s like the fact that the greater the number of people in jail, the lower the crime rate. It’s true because a certain percentage of people commit crimes and if they’re in jail, they won’t.

That doesn’t mean we should go these things. We need to evaluate net impact. Or just not do things that are wrong even if they have utilitarian benefit.
>> You've tricked the brain into believing a specific version of reality that is not objective reality

> Whereas civilians, of course, have a completely accurate view of objective reality with no illusions? It is to laugh.

No. It's just different; in some ways radically different than the niche reality of "military." .... That's the point.

Are you still in the military because you are sending clear signals that you are not in control of your own mind. Which gets into the illusion of free will and if that's real, but there's a boundedness that is tight or loose depending on the individual/group. And yours seems quite tight. As in, constricted from any thoughts outside your military programming. Scary stuff.
> Deck or CyberDeck is this mobile computer first imagined by William Gibson in Neuromancer ...

The Cyberdeck was first used in the 1980 John M. Ford novel Web of Angels, about half a decade before Neuromancer, and before Vinge's far more influential "True Names" for that matter.

I have always had a fondness for Ford's cyberdeck as it had analog sliders as well (and a few other absurd features).
Communism is an anarchist philosophy, at it's root. If it seems a bit weird because (IIRC) this historical dialectic goes:

- bourgeois revolution

- Workers revolution

- Bigger state

- Even bigger state

- Underpants gnomes

- Anarchist utopia

Only half joking... this is what turn of the last century communists believed.
I think he was a human with a rich multi-faceted life and this line of reasoning is exactly how we arrive in 2023 with people who, for instance, don't know about Columbus' genocides because "discovering America overshadowed the rest of his life so we didn't bother to cover it in school".

Yeah, no.
Personally I soldiered on to to the point of being able to extract objects from packfiles, before I realised just how monstrously and tediously complex `git rev-parse` is, and gave up. It's foundational to pretty much every porcelain command, so it's not really something you can leave out if you want a semi-functioning `git`. See https://git-scm.com/docs/git-rev-parse#_specifying_revisions and https://github.com/git/git/blob/ee48e70a829d1fa2da82f1478705... ; `git` really is an edifice.
> It really isn't that big of a deal... I just won't go back. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Why bother spending the time making a comment and subsequently replying to other comments. These actions seem to conflict with what you are saying.
Preventing crime and defending the authority of the state are quite different.

Plenty of protests that challenge the authority of the state are completely legal. The state will not lose much authority if laws broken behind the front door of a family go unpunished.

Most of us here are lucky enough to live in a country where the laws were written for more than maintaining the authority of the state.
It's basically becoming reality already, PEP 684 per-interpreter gil is the required structure for this (coming in Python 3.12), then only the interface on top of that remains to be exposed, see WIP like https://github.com/jsbueno/extrainterpreters The full interface to separately-locked interpreter threads is coming in <some future version of python>, independent of PEP 703 work.
The word "article" is used loosely, as it was later published as a (31,000-word, 160p) book:

There's a subtle but crucial difference. Service providers are free to offer end-to-end encrypted chat, but have to take responsibility for anything that's transmitted through that service. This means that services like Signal and WhatsApp will have to leave the UK, but I'm free to run my own service for just myself, my friends and my family.

I would prefer the bill not to be enacted, but I can live with it.
That is like saying 'we need to cure heart attacks because most people die of heart attacks'. Something has to kill you -- when your heart stops that's a heart attack.

Someone had to catch McVeigh -- it just so happened it was cop that pulled him over.

If we focused resources on the community instead of punitive 'catch the offenders (if it is convenient, like, you already stopped them)' maybe McVeigh wouldn't have wanted to blow up a Federal building because the FBI was involved in a string of mis-advised deadly interactions where they shot first and asked questions later (Waco, Ruby Ridge -- this is what McVeigh was specifically pissed about).
An extended interview with Christopher Nolan, director of Oppenheimer
What the other commenters haven't mentioned is that it's a 25 minute walk... to one store... then a 25 minute walk to another store, then a 25 minute walk to a gym, etc. Whereas in Europe when you walk to a high street, there's a reasonable variety of shops and services there.
My 6 year old is doing basic algebra and geometric proofs and I worry it's going to make him bored in math class. But even if my kid is a genius it's proven to me that we can be moving our kids much faster than we do. I don't think kids in Singapore have special DNA.

If it were true, wage theft would be the priority over shoplifting as it’s by far the largest category of theft
Their vision for their tool is that you tag stuff with emoji instead of characters, an arbitrary, deliberate limitation. Should they adjust that just because of a Unicode implementation detail?

Where was the attack? Does mschuster91 consider being associated with antifa (that's how I interpret it) an "attack"?
I find it amazing that the police of a given city will protest anything they think is unfair refusing to work. How is this not armed mutiny?
It's been a long time since I believed that police fight crime. I read an article a long while back in which policemen described themselves as humanity's janitors. They felt their job was about going to places and dealing with situations and events most people would prefer to believe don't exist. If a crime happened to be the cause, they'd take a report, but mostly they were just picking up the pieces of people's lives after they'd been destroyed by poverty, addiction, greed, or hate.
That also mirrors my experience, the whole dev ecosystem is very messy and I gave up on the platform
Traffic cameras are not a safety encouragement device. I'd classify them as a 'revenue generating device' or a regressive tax.

I would feel much safer if the majority of police resources were allocated to the 'worst' violations of the laws (hardest crimes) first.
From the full Sota article:

At the same time I was also developing an awareness that, performance-wise, my Cosmos had lost a step compared to similarly priced rigs. As with an aging athlete, the years may have taken their toll. Its reflexes didn’t seem as sharp, its sound as open or articulate.
Your joke made me chuckle. I then googled it and realised the kefir I make and drink every morning apparently has 0.5-2% alcohol.
Asahi Dry Zero has 0 alcohol, 0 calories.
Police act as the enforcement wing of the judicial system.
Would you mind pointing out what exactly is wrong in the article? Right now it isn't very clear what you take issue with. Most of what I've read about the surrender of Japan puts a lot of emphasis on the Soviet invasion, not only on the bombings, so I would be interested to know what you mean.
Plenty were concerned about overpopulation in the 2000s, including Indian government. Hence, (eg) National Population Policy 2000.
Potential solve: Amazon owns Goodreads. Amazon has a way of tagging reviews with “certified purchaser,” and they could start filtering for only these reviews, rather than just flagging and boosting them (as the article says they are doing now). Of course this means you must buy the book from Amazon

Edit: don’t downvote me just because you hate this idea, haha. Obviously there are tradeoffs
My suspicion is that society would be much nicer if we could find a way to reign in the nihilistic, sociopathic behavior of the upper classes much more than the lower ones.
I gave my kid it's own Spotify account (we have a family subscription), and I installed "island" in android enabling me to install a separate Spotify instance logged into their account. Now I have 2 Spotifys installed in parallel, one for me and one for them.
