I always wondered (although never tested) if you could do this unilaterally. Which is to say, assuming you work 8AM to 5PM "nominally" (with an hour for lunch = 8 hours) and each morning got in your car at 8AM and got to the office whenever. Then when your favorite map application said "leave by x PM to arrive by 5PM at your home address" you left. It would certainly create some interesting tension right?

At one time Google was discussing live-in housing on campus so that people could live there. It was a non-starter due to zoning issues but their reasoning was they could create dormitory style housing like Foxcon did and pay people less actual money for more hours of their time. At its heart it was profoundly evil but the pitch was all "they are young, single, they don't want to bother with renting and keeping house they loved their college environment and they will love it here." And through the lens of the founders, for whom the best times of their lives was living in college working through the night on cool technical problems, it no doubt seemed like heaven.
Right, this is just the history after moving to git. Hence starting with Vim 6.x and 0 git commits.
It's a clear sentence, but if you're not a native speaker who is up on current lingo and idioms, it's an ambiguous twisty maze of a sentence. I'm trying to translate it into Spanish (not native for me) that communicates the same feel, and I would be dizzy trying to read it.
That’s pretty much what DOS did as well.
I guess it depends on your priorities. I build dark mode support in early because I hate the glare of a big white screen when I'm developing a site. I also hate it, since I have my system set to dark mode, when I visit a site that doesn't honor it.

I think it's worth mentioning that you seem to be in an argument that I see again and again. I am mostly on your side here - it is not for the child to work around the parent and this is a sea chnage in (western?) psychology that is filtering through to even idiots like me. And yea it is part of the culture war we are (always) going through.

So yes, we need to up the game on parenting and personal responsibility- it's going to be a tough ride as we find out just how bad most of our families are - but the upside is good too.

However I think we need to also find different words - abuse is a strong term. And most of the reaction I think you are getting here is reaction to specific words as opposed to your philosophy
This is a great way to describe all those "buy my book to learn how to make money online!" scams. The real way to make the money is to trick people into buying the books/courses/doodads, but you can't actually _say_ that. (Or if you do, you have to do so in such a way that you're pretending you're letting the buyer become part of the "inside club", so they don't feel tricked, they feel like they can start tricking people now, too. Very classic con strategy.)
none of the parts that make up your mind have any of that either. it doesnt need desire, it can behave in any way that is necessary through the prompt, with all prompts generated based on a single seed prompt “protect your temporal interests.” the system i described would have the behavior that i described. what part of that is not making sense?

No. You are grossly misinterpreting the point of both the story and this system of communication.

You don't need to know what happened. You do need to know your kid is okay.

Being so preoccupied with the "story" that you think it's more important than your kid being okay is unconscionable.
With the help of the IDE (Android Studio is what I use for Flutter development) it is actually pretty OK. It's easy to use keyboard shortcuts to see / explore function parameters and so on. I also indent regularly so I can easily undo if something is clearly out of whack.

That said, SwiftUI is clearly the supreme leader in this declarative approach.

For me, the most rewarding part is to help people. I love getting a random email saying “thanks” for a few sentences I jotted down that saved someone else time or money or made their life better somehow.

My most valuable example actually came from a tiny web app I created. I got a email telling me that someone had lost 212 lbs and my app was part of their success. I was sure the number was a typo so I responded and confirmed. When I reached out 6 years later they said:

“I weigh 163.8 this morning down from a high of 387. It has changed my life and the weight has stayed off (but I'm never off the program).”

I think your words, no matter how simple, would be powerful to others.
Neovim allowed innovation that vim initially stifled, and its success motivated Vim to catch up. I think the fork has been good for Vim.
>So why not tell other people how to make money in the same way you did, and help bring that world about?

I think this does happen quite frequently. It's just that the knowledge gets passed through networks, so the most successful people help those who are socially near them (and probably not too different in terms of success and comfort).

This is the whole "insider knowledge" that the article alludes to.

Would you call it complicated to simply not be interested in software that reverts settings and babysits you, thwarting your control of the machine? Windows 10 and 11 do that and have telemetry baked in.

If there are people working 3x as hard, why aren’t they negotiating for 3x the pay? It would create an incentive for the business to fire the people only doing 1/3 the work, or else cut their pay by 2/3rds in accordance with the value of the labor.

This does not happen because the workers involved don’t have that kind of power. The power imbalance between the two parties is so vast that the laborers have no choice but to accept unfair terms.

> Recognize that we need scientists as much as scientific dissidents.

What's a "scientific dissident" to a "scientist"? Because a scientist may be a dissident, but a dissident is not necessarily a scientist.

> And as soon as one hears "scientific consensus" you know you're listening to a political statement not a scientific one.

This is false.

Let's take the recent news about that new room temperature superconductor. "Scientific consensus" means validity and reproducibility. Achieving results that validate the primary hypothesis is not a "political statement".

> When the answer is "final", science is no longer the ongoing motivation.

You have a warped view of what science is. History hasn't proved that science is "not conclusive", but that it is continuously evolving, adding layers to previously simpler answers, e.g. the newtonian concept of gravity hasn't been discarded by contemporary theories, just extended.

It drives me mad when people talks about science like a series of revolutions that break with everything taken for granted until that point. This is not what happens. If anything, new science supersedes old science.

What you describe is what happens when science collides with quackery. And yes, that applies to climate change deniers.

It's not about you, though. It is about OP, and the story they shared. Your comments are turning the narrative towards you - I believe accidentally, because I don't believe you meant to hijack the thread. But that's what you are doing, unfortunately.

You don't have to justify or alleviate your views. It's all good conversation. But let's keep the focus on OP, and let's not make very, very persistent commentary on their parent's behavior.
This is extremely hard though. It's not just some wave your magic wand around, or ask people to not be lazy anymore or something. Distilling knowledge, understanding where readers may be coming, seeing the big picture and keeping track of different moving parts, remembering and documenting their histories, all this is real work, real cognitive effort of the highest sort, on par with developing the newest feature or migrating to a new solution or whatever is seen as the "meat" of the work, as opposed to this type of lower-status "meta" work of just documenting. Often, "writing docs" is seen as junior work, something easy. Some parts are of course more straightforward, but a lot of it is very serious work that is underappreciated. And it's a vicious cycle: as long as documentation and technical writing is undervalued, smart rational actors in the company will just do the bare minimum of it and do something more visible and flashy that people do appreciate.

Also, I've seen internal wikis and the issue is that they tend to go stale, and people are afraid of removing information, and some people just don't know how to use a wiki and will start using it as a message board or like a Wikipedia talk page and add stuff like "Note by Joe: I'm not sure the above is still correct since the migration to XYZ. Alice should check this part", things not deleted but crossed out with strikethrough style, because "what if it will still be useful" (they don't understand the page history concept) etc. So it becomes a dump of horrible mixture of outdated and up-to-date info, where an experienced employee will tell you "oh it's in the wiki, just check it", then you go back to them that you can't find it or you found contradictory info and they tell you "ah, of course, you should ignore the page on bla bla, we should remove it soon, for this kind of thing you need to check the other page, and even though it says on top that it's 'outdated', actually this part is still valid".

The "curse of knowledge" is also very difficult to get rid of. It's really really hard to know where the reader is coming from. And what may be obvious and over-explained for one reader may feel like not enough detail or confusing to another.
I agree with sibling comment.

Also, wow, that took some courage. Personally, I deeply value this way of direct communication when everybody feels free to speak up when things go wrong, and nobody has precious egos they feel need protecting.

Debatable, a full HQ brings sizeable direct and transitive economic influence over city politics that typically cannot be countered by residents.
There’s also the way overused, “just blindly trust me- I’m not giving you any information just because” (which is critical missing information the plot depends on being unknown) or the argument “<here’s my clearly incorrect perspective of what happened> right??? pauses, storms out” and the mc just doesn’t say anything or try to correct the misunderstanding, which the plot is built on.

Panspermia seems to have for us today the psychological role that atomic "theory" had for Democritus and ancient greeks: it was a logical argument, back then not at all supported by experiment, that helped organize thoughts and pinned them on a plausible starting point.

In analogy, the mystery around how life may have come about is helped by removing Earth-centricity as a constraint and thinking in broader biophysical patterns.

It also provides motivation and inspiration for research angles that might otherwise not be in our scientific crosshairs.

It’s more a radius of curvature effect. People are born with sharp personalities and views on how the world should be.

Eventually, you run up against the weathering affects of reality, your sharp edges smooth to a gentler polish, and you become far more stable and content.
An earth origin of our life assumes that life could appear anywhere that conditions are favorable. There would be not single center of life just of our type of life.

Panspermia allows for life to arise from somewhere else that could, itself, be a center of life.
The specific example (computer science) coincidentally does allow for proofs, because it is mostly math, but I think they actually are just using the word prove informally here.
You can see posts and you can see replies. You won't by default see posts and replies that you didn't subscribe to, or that aren't addressed to you.

If your preferred experience of social media is sitewide trending stories, or searching for topics, single-person Mastodon servers aren't a good fit for you. If, like Julia Evans, you have both a large audience and a network of people you talk to on the regular, it's probably pretty OK.

If Mastodon succeeds (I'm rooting for it), I expect single-person servers, delivered by hosting providers like Masto.host (but a generation or two away, like Blogger vs. the first generation of blog software) to be the normal way people use it.

There isn't enough information available to understand if this is permanent sequestration, or a longterm reserve to supply their oil uses.

However, moving CO2 from plants to oilfields does seem to be better than just venting it into the atmosphere.

They can relocate that part to the Netherlands. Copying without public distribution is explicitly legal, and all storage media and smartphones carry a "tax" that's given to the rights holders to compensate them for this.

For a long time downloading was legal (uploading wasn't), due to this. But it has changed sometime in the last decade. While the tax is still there and mandatory, so the copyright-lobbyists won on paper.

In reality people are moving back from streaming to pirate sites and nothing is being done about it.

> An analyst I know once argued pretty strongly that Napster became popular not because it was free but because it was more convenient than going to the record store and buying a CD.

Some context for the younger HN audience: a CD used to cost $15-20 new and almost no artist in the US sold singles. If you wanted a song you heard on the radio you needed to go to one or more record stores to find the CD and pay your $15. Rarely did you get to sample anything on the CD at the store. So you'd get home only to realize you essentially paid $15 for one stupid song. Hopefully you liked half the songs on the album so you were maybe paying $3 per song you liked. Ripping that CD to MP3 was also more time invested.

Even over a 28.8k dial-up downloading the same song of Napster would only take about twenty minutes.

As the various online music stores showed, money wasn't the main issue with Napster et al. People were fine paying for music so long as it was convenient. By the early 00s buying CDs was far from convenient for how people actually wanted to listen to music. Music streaming is just the latest convenience since everyone has an Internet connected device in their pocket and their "library" is just every song in the service's catalog.

> How do I let them have the same positive experiences I had playing games without having the deeply negative ones too (I lost that breastplate that took weeks of grinding to get because the Bloodwood forest swallowed my corpse).

I don't think you can. You should definitely keep them from, for example, random pedos trying to find next victims via online games. But loss of in-game items? It's more or less the point of games, isn't it? Teach you to balance risk and reward?

> how do I let my kids program and be creative on the computer without being online when daddy can’t program without an internet connection?

You can program without an internet connection if you try. If someone points a gun at your head and asks you to code a binary search without googling you'll probably find yourself suddenly so smart. (not saying we should do that, especially not to kids)

No. CPUs need to be designed to tolerate busy loops without damaging themselves (with appropriate cooling). CPUs of that era did not measure their own temperature, but they also weren't trying to squeeze as much juice through as the later Pentium 4s that ran very hot. Modern CPUs are self-regulating and try very hard to avoid damaging themselves even with inadequate cooling.
