If your mom drives you around and makes sure you put in some extra time on top… I’m not sure it takes much effort. Especially when stopping those activities is not a choice. Zen monk and prisoner schedules may seem similar, but skills to follow both are very different.

I don’t agree that office drone life in rat race is worth looking to anymore. It’s a miserable mix of depression, obesity, long hours away from one’s family and likely loving a cramped life in a non-humanly-sized mega city.

Generative AI will probably take a lot of less soul sucking jobs on that front. While certain cultures embracing 996 will compete for others.

Yes, exactly!

Well, I'd rather not become an unpaid moderator myself. This is why I said that there's not enough moderation to go around.

Another problem with emailing the mods, related to your first quote, is that once you're well and truly mired in the Fire Swamp, your own hands are not clean anymore, and you've probably violated the HN guidelines yourself to some extent. Condescending repliers often bring you down to their level.

I disagree that it's merely a UX deficiency, but I agree that it's not a protocol deficiency. Yes, indeed you could just use an IRC bouncer: the problem is that many users don't have easy access to such a bouncer. What IRC "needs" is a network of open bouncers that users can subscribe to.
I have two Discord accounts. The desktop app supports this and lets you log into multiple accounts at once. So I doubt it's against TOS.
Actually, if a previous account happened to have a phone number attached, and you're asked for one again when making a second account, then provide the same number, Discord will automatically ban both accounts with no way to appeal.

Which happened to me because I apparently had an old account I had forgotten about. So now I need a new phone number if I want to use Discord.
The amount of inaction you’d need to be guaranteed to comply with the GDPR would be equivalent to never starting a business at all.

Even a cash-only business with no electronics anywhere would still need nontrivial GDPR compliance efforts because it has employees. Just because you need the data to run your business doesn’t automatically make you exempt without further paperwork. Your lawyers definitely do occasional GDPR compliance work.

It’s a bit like accounting. You can structure your business operations is ways that make the accounting easier or harder, but unless you shut the business down you will always have done enough somewhere to need to think about (and probably file paperwork for) accounting/GDPR. And much like accounting, I’m not saying the GDPR is bad, but it’s also not a business activity that you can just ignore because you’re not running an adtech data vacuum or whatever.

> "I don't want to live in place with lots of Muslims, they mess things up".

Devil's advocate: this actually may have more to do with culture generally than religion specifically. Muslim countries may still have more clan-based / tribal social structures:

> Henrich’s ambition is tricky: to account for Western distinctiveness while undercutting Western arrogance. He rests his grand theory of cultural difference on an inescapable fact of the human condition: kinship, one of our species’ “oldest and most fundamental institutions.” Though based on primal instincts— pair-bonding, kin altruism—kinship is a social construct, shaped by rules that dictate whom people can marry, how many spouses they can have, whether they define relatedness narrowly or broadly. Throughout most of human history, certain conditions prevailed: Marriage was generally family-adjacent—Henrich’s term is “cousin marriage”—which thickened the bonds among kin. Unilateral lineage (usually through the father) also solidified clans, facilitating the accumulation and intergenerational transfer of property. Higher-order institutions—governments and armies as well as religions—evolved from kin-based institutions. As families scaled up into tribes, chiefdoms, and kingdoms, they didn’t break from the past; they layered new, more complex societies on top of older forms of relatedness, marriage, and lineage. Long story short, in Henrich’s view, the distinctive flavor of each culture can be traced back to its earlier kinship institutions.

> Why, if Italy has been Catholic for so long, did northern Italy become a prosperous banking center, while southern Italy stayed poor and was plagued by mafiosi? The answer, Henrich declares, is that southern Italy was never conquered by the Church-backed Carolingian empire. Sicily remained under Muslim rule and much of the rest of the south was controlled by the Orthodox Church until the papal hierarchy finally assimilated them both in the 11th century. This is why, according to Henrich, cousin marriage in the boot of Italy and Sicily is 10 times higher than in the north, and in most provinces in Sicily, hardly anyone donates blood (a measure of willingness to help strangers), while some northern provinces receive 105 donations of 16-ounce bags per 1,000 people per year.

> Climate change is caused by pollution and overconsumption. We're perfectly capable to change that ... we just don't want to.

Yes, we can turn rich countries into poor countries by taking away transport, energy, and protein from the working class, and there's growing support for that approach.

But that approach also destroys most of the hope for technological solutions.

And even if the richest countries did sacrifice everything, would it be enough, if many other countries continued pursuing growth of economies, consumption, and population?
Other people listening in on private conversations hasn't been "fine" since the the first private conversation. It wasn't okay in the 90's and it isn't okay now. More people are aware now so more people are asking about it, which is making it seem more important, but it's always been important.

Incase the website owner is checking HN and sees this:

On mobile the links in your header are fiddly because the links clickable area overlap.
If you practice test-driven development, the mindset is slightly different.

Humans can't think of everything all the time - TDD guides you to think about one thing at a time.

No one is sitting there adding a disabled prop on their component that then disables an input for no reason. You had intent when writing it. It's possible that a co-worker distracted you, or you went for a break, or you went down another rabbit hole, and ended up skipping disabling the input based on the prop.

If you're practicing TDD, you would have written a failing test before creating the disabled prop. That test will continue to fail until the productive code has been written. It helps to protect against those thinking errors in the first place.

Amazon Alexa: Control Bluetooth Mesh Devices via AWS Lambda (2019)
“What’s the relevance” was a rhetorical question teeing up the next sentence, not an actual question.

Then, after “answering” the rhetorical question I was prompting myself with, you say, “Insults don't show good faith,” as if that’s a telling point against me (or at least, that seemed to me to be the rhetorical structure of your response at that point). What insult(s) are you referring to, because at that point I was just puzzled.

Finally, you’re not the first one to say “it's not up to me to determine how/if Dang responds to it” in a way I interpret as suggesting I was saying that, so I’ll own that one. But I meant it more in a jokey sense of commiseration at the thankless task he has, given that in almost immediate response to a long-form article going into great depth illustrating his (earnestly attempted) thoughtfulness in moderating came an angry.l accusation (because the commenter disagreed with the substance of some moderation decisions, I guess? The anger in the comment seemed to me to come out of nowhere.)

That's exactly what makes it better. People keep saying "echo chamber" as though having rules and standards is a universal negative but their definition of an echo chamber is just any platform that doesn't want to deal with their bullshit. Fine, it's an echo chamber. Go make your own with blackjack and hookers if you don't like it.

We can't adapt to something that keeps changing. If we keep putting out CO2, the climate will keep getting hotter. It's not as if giving up will make it stop here. It really can go to 8C or more, a temperature that will make large parts of the earth uninhabitable.

We're going to be forced to make changes -- not just "adapt" but substantially alter society. The longer we wait the worse it will be.

> The fundamental fact that Discord users refuse to see is that the platform isn't run on magic dust and fairy incantations, but actual human beings. Using Discord is no different from having a group of strangers sitting in your room with you, noting down every word you say to your friends and everything you run on your computer, and doing the devil knows what with it.

Anyone making this argument doesn't understand why people use Discord. These articles about why Discord is bad crop up over time and they ALL miss the boat. If your argument is that "Discord isn't private" then you've already lost because no one who uses Discord cares about that and you've shown that you don't actually understand Discord.

I never trust these things. Suppose you make a claim and you don't know you end up with a flag on your account and then months or years later they'll find a bs reason to close it as a retribution.

The system is broken, because these things are just a cost of doing business for companies violating rights. They suffer no consequences and likely any settlement or fine will just be recouped from higher fees or already being factored in.

I think these things will never change until regulators start taking it seriously. I think if Meta was forced to be closed down or had to close the part of business that caused a violation, maybe other players would have taken those issues more seriously.
I worked for an OTA (currently a brand owned by Expedia, like most of them, but a real company back then) and we always had issues with airline bookings, as the airlines did not want to expose all of their offerings to us so they could make extra money later. We always got yelled at by people who booked Spirit, as their "price" in our system was always the lowest, but after booking, the airline would add on fees for so many things that the flight was no longer cheap, but it was somehow our fault.

Airlines also give up almost no commission to anyone, local travel agencies or online, so it's generally profitless to book them for someone other than hoping you get to book a hotel as well, which is negotiated to provide profit. Airlines also hate comparison shopping; they want you to book on their website so you can't see what someone else might charge for the same flight. Southwest was/is the king of that; they allowed no sales elsewhere, so you could never tell if they were cheaper/cost more. It's like insisting that a monopoly view on prices is best for the customer.

It seems like a racket. Big corporation does what it wants, lawyers get their cut, regulators have boxes ticked, yay! system is working!

But for whom?
I understand (and agree with) the distinction you're making. An employee's level isn't necessarily the same thing as the level an employer needs for a specific role. The latter sets a desired minimum for the former. And realistically the former usually implies some kind of desired minimum for the latter if only because working at a much lower level than you're capable of will reduce compensation and slow career progression.

Where we perhaps disagree is your final paragraph. The roles might be fixed but there is no rule that says they have to be. Usually things like budgets and the work that needs to be done that are fixed for the team as a whole. An employer might have multiple hiring options available that fit those constraints - for example hiring a smaller team of more senior developers or a larger team with a wider range. My argument above is that if you can hire a smaller team of good senior people then this is often cost-effective.

I don't really recognise the picture you're painting of a senior-heavy team being prone to conflict. A big part of that ability to operate autonomously that I suggested characterises senior developers is learning how to communicate and collaborate effectively without needing constant intervention from above or heavy formal development processes.

What you described seems like what happens if you want a senior-heavy team, hire people who aren't at that level yet, then still manage them as if they were seniors. The team doesn't reach consensus and get behind its choices collectively. However it also doesn't have the stronger leadership and safety rails that less experienced developers might need to be effective. I agree that situation is bad but it's not what I was advocating before.

The name of the blog already sets you up for being gullible.
Assuming the service is not operating on the whole format, then it's already implicitly depending on the presence of those fields and also implicitly depending on the fact that they are a strict subset of the overall set of fields in the protocol. I'm not sure why making this fact slightly more explicit by having the client add a single interface would be a big pain.

In principle, this also enables type checking the whole pipeline before deployments since the interfaces can be known upfront rather than latent in the code.

I find it curious that lots of people always drag in Kafka as comparison to message brokers. Their own architecture (log of messages, vs. delivery of messages), but in particular the system architecture they lead to when used (event sourcing, vs. "react to events and commands"), are extremely dissimilar.

Kafka has its uses, in particular for massive influx of events, e.g. in a large IoT system - I'd say the perfect example would be continuous measurements of tens of thousands of gauges and sensors on an oil rig or any other large production system, or e.g. the energy meters in every home.

But I would personally never use such a system as the inter-service communication layer for a multi-service architecture. It is WAY to heavy coupling. Event sourcing looks fantastic on the surface, but is a disaster for a decades-living system with tons of developers. REST/gRPC is better, but async messaging really rocks.
