Location, location, location. Ceres, that's where you want to set up. Just enough gravity so you probably can't jump off it, lots of ice, a fair bit closer than Ganymede with easier take offs, convenient halfway between Mars and all those Jovian moons. Open 24/7 and sell the hot dogs at cost.
Only it's the inverse: no subtlety, no surprises, all plain.
Over enough time it is more stable than all fiat currencies. But most people don't care to consider that time scale.
I don't know if I'd use the word "mature" (Docker is quite mature after all), but as a long-time Docker user I did jump into lxc/lxd and can confidently say it's "system container" approach is better for dev environments.

I used to use WSL 2 or a VM, but on a Linux host LXD is a really nice workflow. I can create a fully isolated Linux instance with all my dev tooling on it (optionally script/automate the install of all my tools), and with nested containers enabled I can even run _Docker in that LXD container_ so that when I type `docker ps` on that instance, and `docker ps` on my host, they each have their own set of containers running. For example, I have an ElasticSearch and Redis instance running in the dev box but Syncthing on the host.

Then I can use snapshots to back up the dev environment, or blow it away completely once it gathers too much cruft all without affecting my host. It's really great.

Pair it with VS Code remote SSH and you have a very feature rich setup with little effort.
if your code gets merged upstream, then for sure you should be compensated. voluntarily making mods for the love of the game is obviously different from employment.

in this dota case, if the modders wanted to charge for content, they shouldn’t have modded a game that prohibits charging for content.
I wouldn't call this a loophole.
That's up for debate, for sure. My hopes are derived from the survival abililities of some close genetic cousins. Rats comes to mind. I do believe we could endure and thrive in much more hardship than we already have in any past period. We'll know soon enough.

Suppressing tumor growth is how you kill cancer, is it not? Cancer cells themselves, like the original cells they mutate from, don't live forever. Depending on which type of cell we're talking about, they can die within hours (e.g. skin cells)/days (e.g. blood cells)/months (e.g. liver cells). The issue with cancer cells is they are reproducing like crazy way faster than they die, which is why the tumors grow bigger and bigger. Chemo and surgery attempt to kill or remove the tumors immediately, yes, but my understanding is that's because we have no way to stop the growth and the only hope is to eradicate them entirely before they grow too big to treat, which is why the cancer could come back if any parts are missed.

You stop the cancer cell reproduction and overall tumor growth, you also kill the cancer.
Perfect collary, if you can't say things like that in a group, that group is incapable of change anyway.
I don't know about technologists who use it in writing or speaking like Rich, but you can trace writers' use of etymology to provoke thinking at least back to Plato. More recent, prominent examples would be Hannah Arendt's acceptance speech in 1975 receiving Denmark's Sonning Prize, in which she uses the etymology of "person", and at least Martin Heidegger's essay The Question Concerning Technology in which he plays with several, including the etymology of "technology" itself.
If you like that, you will probably also like "Alone".

Some disputes about quality are simply differences of opinion or style.

There's not really a book or standard on opinionated code quality that satisfies a majority of the people in the field. There's way too many ways to build things for that to exist.

This leaves it up to individual teams to approach a shared consensus (with some wiggle room) within their domain and tool set.

One thing that is universal is how strict the enforcement of a team's quality standards. So as a developer, you have to decide whether you like strict or lax enforcement of quality standards. Everyone can decide that but I think most don't.

So it isn't nothing. It is something. If it were only the states vs the federal government, that would be great! Unfortunately it is also all of the county, city (and other??) local governments as well that have a say. And then in california in particular, things like the environmental protection laws have become weaponized as well to stop.

I suspect it would take something spectacular (like how the interstate system was created) to actually make meaningful progress. And the irony is once it's in place no one could imagine life without it.
The korean guy say this is a 1d superconductor (as opposed to 2d sheet or 3d, which means you would need a single line of superconducting molecules from end to end. Its likely why it doesn't float all the way as only parts of it has these and scattered all over the chunk of solid.

However, if they perfect 1d production, they can layer in a bunch of them to create a quasi 2d or 3d superconductor.
Oh, thats not that simple. Curves in nature are never linear or exponental.
They are mixed, depending on several factors. But always you will hit plateau.
Not understanding it means you are poor at math.

Just take a look at human population graph past last 2000 years. And why growth was such small? Answer is simple, energy density. Once humans started to use coal and later oil (high density energy sources) they could utilize machines to do all the hard work and so, we could grow futher. (I skip other importand achivements, but they are directly linked to energy density anyway).

As for the winner, oh well.. Yeah, im lucky one that I born in western world, I can have nice job and live in pretty fine conditions. But also, I am not person that will deny such live to other people, like all those fanatics saying we can have 10B ppl living. Yeah, we can.. in shitty conditions. But why those saying that usually are very rich having serveral huge houses and acres of land for themselfs, leaving others in small flats and working hard.

Again, we cannot afford that for 10B ppl.
A rather pedantic point, don't you think? The idea is to speculate with highly unlikely, but impactful events.
This is part of an emerging trend that's a threat to the current symbiosis between open source communities their commercial sponsors.

Many of these companies have nurtured a lot of goodwill with the community and built successful businesses around enterprise customers. Once they're entrenched in the enterprise software business, there is value to be had by cashing in that goodwill and maximizing shareholder value. Even if their current leadership is unwilling to move in this direction, there are plenty of existing enterprise computing companies (e.g. IBM) and private equity firms who will.
Sliding off-topic...

I have mixed feelings on the Agriculture reference. There are areas that are being cut down for livestock and agriculture... I think that at in many places as or bigger issues come down the the lack of regenerative agriculture. There's a heavy reliance on chemical fertilizers, a lack of crop and livestock rotation, and just draining soil of life.

Humanity as literally optimized food production to the point where it's more detrimental than good.
> The issue is building too many of these rails to where ridership is not even enough to produce a profit in the beginning, let alone sustain it forever.

There's a ton of flights each day - the FAA says something around 45.000 flights [1], of which sadly there are no statistics if they are domestic or not. But even assuming just 25% are domestic, that's about 11.000 flights that could be done on a decent HSR network, saving local populations in the inflight zone of airports from a ton of noise and a lot of fuel/CO2 emissions.

No matter what, CO2 emissions will make air travel unsustainable very fast very soon, and the US is barely prepared for this new reality.

> Can you imagine if US built out an expensive high speed rail from New York to Detroit? or Seattle to Portland?

Well, that is how the US grew so fast from East to West back in the day [2]. IIRC, a lot of the existing lines are the same routes that were built back then.

Part of the problem historically (into the 2010s) was that MIT had a patent on doses of melatonin under 1mg[1]. So manufacturers could only avoid the patent by selling larger doses. That patent is expired but to some extent customers probably still think more is better.

Personally, I use a fairly large dose of melatonin daily without ill effect; and it works better for me than smaller doses.

Yes, that's kind of how intimidation works. The mafia doesn't get to claim the shopkeeper is intimidating them.
I agree that enterprise likes it. Developers hate it, though. We are a lot that are very picky about our tools.

Virtualization means images means standardization means everyone is using the IDE and tools that IT and "Enterprise" decides.

It has it's pros and cons. But one of those cons is that it can make for an intolerable work environment. At least for me. I've gotten to the point where I now ask about dev environment during the interview process. If they mandate Mac or Visual Studio I'm not interested (not trying to start a flame war, those are my personal preferences). I know that certain organizations need their control for auditing, security and remote wipe reasons, and that is understandable. I'll just go work elsewhere. It's fine.

I hope we'll manage to switch to renewables before the time runs out. Some hope is necessary :)
Great job on Gdańsk AI! How do you handle the speech-text/API latency?

On one hand, all of these conversations and issues are things I've dealt with as a manager at multiple companies.

On the other hand, the way the author normalizes all of these issues and, worse yet, perpetuates them is unsettling.

This manager had a few meetings and touch points to influence the company in the article, such as the planning and budgeting asides. While the budgeting process wasn't directly the author's fault, their careless approach immediately had real-world consequences across other projects and managers. Rather than try to correct the record, they shrug it off and make a snide remark about being glad that they don't have to deal with it any more.

The author even volunteered to be a "bar raiser" in someone's interview without reading any details, then discovered that they were unqualified to do it right before the interview. Can you imagine getting a shot to interview at a Big Tech company only to discover that they sent someone to interview you who doesn't really know what the role is? It's depressing that the author presents this as an "Oh well, oopsie" rather than feeling sorry for their mistake and looking for ways to avoid it in the future. Certainly if one of their employees made such a mistake they would have no shortage of criticism for them, as we saw in the rest of the article.

This is the type of manager I dislike reporting to, and dislike working with. They are dealing with chaos, yes, but they also gain their power from the chaos. They contribute to the chaos by firing from the hip and shrugging off the consequences. They justify it as being more important to move fast than to do the right thing, which ultimately turns into project churn and wasted effort down the road.

I have a similar process, but I do it after hours because I treat it as exercise.

The task isn't about what the resulting system does, but how - the aim is to figure out where certain patterns are applicable and where they break down.

Ideas include: using a design pattern like Entity Component System, exploring whether a certain way of formatting code is actually more readable, producing a drop-in replacement for a small utility.

I firmly believe this makes you an overall better programmer. That being said I think it would be wise to refrain from doing that at work.
I think that's super reasonable and I have no record or memory of dosage, sadly. Although nowadays I approach such things from a very different angle: why do I think I need to medicate at all? Why am I, a relatively young and healthy person, not sleeping well? Jet lag in my book is not a strong enough reason to self-medicate, just suck it up and learn to enjoy early mornings =)

I have been reading a book about biological effects of daylight and how little sun a modern person is exposed to on a daily basis. There has been more research on the topic, especially since a recent research on receptors in the eye responsible for detecting gradual changes in daylight (ipRGCs). Spending more time in the daylight might be a better way to self-medicate.

And elms. Lots of US cities had streets completely lined with elm trees that were never replaced.

> [starting in 1928] The disease spread from New England westward and southward, almost completely destroying the famous elms in the "Elm City" of New Haven, Connecticut, reaching the Detroit area in 1950, the Chicago area by 1960, and Minneapolis by 1970. Of the estimated 77 million elms in North America in 1930, over 75% had been lost by 1989.

The exact same pattern has covered enormous areas of Sweden, where industrial-scale timber production, often for nothing more than wood-chips, has replaced diverse old-woodland area.

The ancient forests have historically contained bark beetles - but crucially also their natural predators in the abundant biodiversity of their environment, including predatory insects and birds that feed on both the larva and the beetles.

The new monoculture plantations are arid deserts where bark beetles thrive without competition or natural checks. Not to speak of the tinder these dry and wind-swept forests provide, when fires start.

They are very profitable for their corporate owners though.

You have the right to do whatever you want with the software. You don't have the right to force someone else continue to work for you and provide you with updates.
It can still be a lack of effort put in trying to convince product managers etc that more time is needed!

But almost all PRs I review have something in them that suggests the developer not putting as much thought/care into what they were doing as I'd like to see (and I'm just as capable of doing the same).
You misunderstand. I'm saying that there's more than one way to skin a cat. Again, I would like to know where my Jenga set is.

>Liquidity is high because the market makers role has exploded and they invest a lot to make sure it stay high.

This is another way of saying that organic liquidity is low and we needed a middleman to preclude actual price discovery, for reasons.
Ask HN: How can I improve my naming skills in software development?
I feel like naming variables, modules, projects, etc is half our job as developers.

I’m curious how to improve at this? As a native English speaker without a formal background in languages I wonder if studying something like linguistics would help.
what if the cost of undoing is too high?
This still reads like a success story of municipal networks to me. It is much easier to hold public institutions like this accountable than private regional monopolies. A private company is not subject to the whims of the Democratic process, and regional monopolies ensure that free market forces have a much harder time cultivating competition or disruption. The fact that your courts were able to put an end to these practices and the executives responsible are gone while Comcast continues to operate unchecked throughout large swaths of the US really demonstrates this.

In Utah, we've been fighting the corruption and anti-competitive practices of Comcast and CenturyLink for over two decades. And despite many small victories like the recent one in Bountiful, many residents are still getting screwed over with no viable recourse. The city my parents live in fell for Comcast's intense lobbying a few years ago and now they have no real path towards getting a meaningful alternative.
I agree that it depends on factors like what you describe which is why I am asking those giving the advice like this to consider the context at all. I also happen believe that the contextual bar should be placed high. I have to say, what comes to mind when I read your comment was "What about this does refactoring not accomplish?" In the metaphor of building a house, refactoring is what keeps it tidy and organized, and rewriting would only appear necessary in the case of your trash chute leading into a bathtub or some other critical design flaw that could only be addressed timely by redesigning the entire house.

If you are in a context where you are in danger of making critical design flaws often, or where circumstances make it hard to make changes after committing, then I absolutely agree that rewriting is effective. That's just what I mean by a high bar, one that I personally don't encounter very often in my work.
OSX it's as ugly as GNUStep/NeXTStep. Search for the Mastodon post on patching OSX to disable Aqua on MAC OS X < 10.5, and you'll see how they kept the exact same NeXTStep/GNUStep widgets. I am not trolling, Google/DDG it.

> If you're going to make a monumentap shift, why not do it right?

yes, that was the argument from the very beginning, and it's not without merit. I disagree with it, because it's making a monumental shift into one that is even more monumental and increases resistance to making the change at all.

But who knows? Both sides of this argument are just speculating.
Its not as simple as that though. The Nazis fielded the first jet fighter, and it was overwhelmingly dominant. But because of maintenance issues and material shortages, wikipedia claims that less than 100 were operational at any given time.

One hundred!

I'll concede that the mainline fighters of the Allies were superior to the mainline fighters of the Nazis, but my claim is that manufacturing at scale is a technological advantage all by itself. If the Me262 is worth 3 P-51s, then one way to defeat it is to build 3 times as many P-51s (which the US did).

I do wonder, maybe the reason strategic bombing of Nazi industry was ineffective was because Nazi industry (apparently) relied so heavily on manual labor. If that is true, the destruction of a factory would be less the destruction of expensive, complicated machinery, and more the destruction of a place to sit down.

It would still be a much smaller shift if they focused on only expanding the address, and I guess removing packet fragmenting while they're already changing the fields. Why not do it right, cause at least it gets done that way.

There have been other huge migrations pulled off in networking. HTTP->HTTPS is the first that comes to mind. Extra layer of security, no other changes. Browsers slowly made users more and more wary of unsecured sites, and it became easier for site admins to obtain SSL certs. Once plain HTTP was finally made uncommon, versions of SSL/TLS still got upgraded slowly. They also avoided making it too flexible and turning into a fragmented mess like email or XMPP, i.e. browsers strongly avoid self-signed certs and started banning old versions.
The point is taking it in the night if you're not able to get sleepy, especially if you fucked up your circadian rhythm. Taking it in the afternoon is going to fuck up the circadian rhythm if it wasn't already. For that you're better off taking chamomile and valerian.
