I wonder how many dissidents and escapees remained fans of communism along this line of reasoning.
i am using fish for more than a decade and i don't have any dotfiles for it. (do i win? :-p )

your commands to help not working in fish? that is rather surprising. i would think that fish users should be aware that shell specific things in fish are different, so they should have been able to cope and translate as needed.

and it's not what you can do in fish that makes it special. it's how you do it. the syntax coloring, the completions, the syntax itself...

the key thing for me is how it handles searching history and autosuggestions. i just learned how to somehow recreate this setup in zsh, and i am very curious if bash can do that too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37274207

btw i believe bash got a lot better at command completion after fish popularized the idea.

Sounds like they are kicking ass on multiple fronts at the same time.
Usually it’s more structural than that. Too much competition, too few customers, too little scale to afford the type of talent that can optimize inefficiencies. There is a reason these small localized businesses tend not to produce outsized profits.

I really enjoyed Stolen Focus. But that's because I wrote a similar book the same year.

Some of the most thought-provoking resources on this topic in my opinion are:

- Amusing Ourselves to Death

- Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television

- The Century of the Self

- The Shallows

- The Attention Merchants

- Much of William James philosophy

If you want "as boring as possible" and "never want to debug" then you probably shouldn't be using Jekyll in the first place; for simple boring use cases all you need is:

for f in ./posts/*.md; do
dst=site/$f:r.html
cat head.html >$dst
markdown $f >>$dst
cat footer.html >>$dst
done

Or some variant of that, in your preferred language. There's loads of things you can do wrong in Jekyll even without any plugins, and this applies to most static site generators.

Anyway, I have a list of plugins at [1]; some are as simple as "don't use leading 0 for dates but a space" so it looks nicer (IMHO) but still aligns well, and others are a bit more crazy such as "use Vim's :TOhtml for syntax highlighting because I think Rouge looks horrible".

Stuff like "show all posts with the same tag as the current post" could be done in pure Liquid template too, but this is usually a lot more awkward and a lot slower, and convenience tags like {% warning %}Watch out!{% endwarning %} are completely unnecessary as such, but it's just convenient and nice.

I’m not familiar with the Ancient Greek objections here, but I remember Renaissance scientists being hung up on this same thing.

They had measured the visible diameter of stars and without any parallax, would’ve also meant that the stars were absurdly large in addition to far away.

I don’t think they had a problem with the distance, per se, but the implied size.

I felt at the time, and still do, that the arab spring was fueled by the ability of people to see life in other places via satellite TV and Internet. "Hey, life doesn't have to be as bad as it is here."

Would it be better if they had went to get an advanced education in the humanities and had excellent knowledge of Walden, anthropological studies of papua new guinea, and intersectional feminism?

For a brief time, I had the NYT sunday edition delivered to my house. I quickly discovered that the information was mostly useless to me, and it took way too much of my time to read all the way through.

I ended up subscribing to Delayed Gratification (https://www.slow-journalism.com/) as a sort of middle ground. I get a nice, physical thing I can read. I'm able to read about current events, and all of the noise is filtered out for me.
I don't see why we would specifically need an open client protocol, the goal is to prevent gatekeepers from locking users inside their networking effect.

The EU does not state specifically how gatekeepers must open up their services. For all we know, iMessage will open up a web API that offers the same functionality rather than sticking to MIMI. The IETF called for a unified protocol and people from several projects started laying down their requirements and suggestions, that's it.

In my personal opinion, an open server-to-server system would be better than an open client. An open client protocol would pretty much limit messengers in their functionality for the next ten years, because WhatsApp couldn't possibly alter their image upload API unless they're willing to risk an EU investigation. You'd also end up with ten different APIs, all in various states of feature support and implementation details, and if someone does manage to make a unified app, you'd end up with ten different contacts for the same person.

You're never getting a simple client API with modern chat messengers. E2EE is practically a requirement these days, and E2EE is hard to accomplish. Requiring a simple client would actually make the situation worse, allowing the EU to basically force chat apps to break their E2EE properties because of "API compatibility" reasons. I don't think anyone but the worst politicians want that.

I don't know anything about user specific certificates. There are some EU countries that permit authenticating to government services using a smart card, but that's got very little to do with this whole system. It's certainly not something we use to authenticate with chat services.

> Allow me to point out the millions of immigrants that walk across a continent to try and slip over the border into America.

Sure, but even when they get to America, unless they already have some degree of monetary means, a large portion of those immigrants will end up stuck in low-paying, high-labor jobs, often in agriculture and heavy industry, without savings or means to move elsewhere for years. Those paths to better work, education, or location once in America are not going to be open to them as they will have no resources to draw upon. Not being a citizen also can be severely restricting. Most mobility is not seen for one or more generations and many immigrants simply remain in deep poverty indefinitely. Immigration is not a silver bullet to a great life, even if an immigrant does everything correctly. Would you say they get stuck here of their own volition after risking their lives and the lives of their families to get to America, or that it is systemically hard for an immigrant to rise out of poverty in America?

> Nobody there has their feet nailed to the ground.

I am trying to highlight that moving, especially to a higher cost of living area, is expensive and people risk being homeless for a non-trivial amount of time at an often slim chance of doing better. That can be very dangerous for a myriad of reasons and I imagine a risk that is simply too great for most, even if they are willing to do difficult things to do better. I would argue that this is not their fault for simply being born in an area with poor wages, education, and support systems, but that the area they originally lived in has a more systemic issue preventing mobility.
> The real solution is ... to force ALL kids...

As a general rule, I've found that forcing anything is rarely a good solution. Sometimes it is. But not usually.
But that is the entire point - you alone can't do much about this. It's not an underwhelming conclusion, there is nothing else to say, really. The way to solve this is societal change, not tweaking around the edges with your behaviour.

I mean, it's true that you might see phenomena that echo natural systems or things, but I suppose what I'm getting at is: unlike natural systems, the "rules" can be changed.

Honestly, what helped me a lot is: Economic systems are more like video games than "nature." Sure, video games can look like nature, but also are extremely malleable.

Thank you for introducing Easy-ISLisp. I'm the author, Sasagawa. Racket is incredibly excellent. I used it back in the days of MZ-Scheme. I believe it's an extremely capable implementation. There are many other outstanding Lisp implementations as well. Easy-ISLisp is remarkably simple. If you look at the source code, you'll quickly understand its mechanics. During the early days of personal computers, I had a lot of fun analyzing, modifying, and extending Basic interpreter. I express that kind of playful spirit as friendliness. Modern implementations are highly polished, making it difficult to perform internal analysis for simple tasks. So, please enjoy Easy-ISLisp with a mindset similar to modifying vacuum tube amplifiers.

My situation is simple. I have one spouse and one kid. I’ll have the equivalent of few million bucks between annuities and savings at 55-56 and will retire, with an income allocated to spend about 60% of the total by 70.

There have been three human-driven car crashes on my busy street within a 10 second walk from my front door just in the last year. A multi car collision woke me up last night at 4 am. All three crashes completely closed the road for several hours. I've even seen a human driver trying to outrun the police, ignoring their instructions to stop.

Clearly, the rollout of human drivers isn't working and we should start blocking roads until the government bans them.
You can’t do that without a mutex. This provides a way to read a consistent snapshot of multiple atomic values without a mutex.

"No one has any right to complain because muh license agreement"

What a tiring argument. Why complain about anything? Why do anything differently? Maybe it's because people have invested time, money, and effort into supporting and using the project and because of your stupid decision they now have to do more work. There were a lot of comments about people showing up that monday to pin+vendor the old SerDe. Others planned to remove it entirely in favor of other libraries. Almost like actions have consequences even if your "license agreement" says otherwise.

> is a rather toxic mindset that should be kept out of open source.

I wish I lived in your echo chamber where everyone who uses your stuff is just totally, like, accepting of your garbage ideas. The precompiled binary idea was a classic garbage idea. Refusing to make it reproducible was just the corn on top of the cowpie. The author made a major screw up, doubled down, tripled down, and then finally gave in. The author has no idea what scale and scope of project this is used in. They also clearly did no evaluation on potential damage OR ask for feedback before moving it into mainline. For a library with 3M+ downloads this was the what third? Fourth? Classic ego-driven folly.

You know what else shouldn't exist in open source? Ego tripping morons.
I developed a pathological need to monitor Slack at all hours. It was largely based on the culture at my company (a startup, at the time) - while there was no written rule to install Slack on your phone, responding to Slack messages at 10pm was clearly a way to get ahead at the company.

I switched jobs and continued to run Slack on my phone, as everybody seems to do.

Some time in 2021, I got a new phone and just... didn't reinstall Slack. The world didn't end. I found myself just as much on top of things as I was, in spite of the fact that I was now making intentional visits to my laptop off hours (I didn't quit it entirely).

You're probably expecting me to say that this was rainbows and unicorns from there on out, but the exact opposite is true. Two years later, I'm still finding myself anxious much of the time, that I'm missing an important Slack message - sometimes at 10pm, sometimes at 6am. Sometimes I have, indeed, missed an important Slack message. Not having the capability to be notified instantaneously isn't a panacea. I'm only finding it better than the alternative.
> Anything to make static website builds faster is welcome

Genuine question, but why? My assumption here is that builds are infrequent and static sites gravitate towards being smaller in size, and that in most situations you’re building as an automated action following the addition/modification of a page. Does it matter if the build takes 1s vs 20s?

Even dynamically building during authoring, I rarely run into situations where ruby/js static site builders feel overly slow. Curious if my assumptions of how people are using these are wrong however so would love to hear your take.
It is a known fact in philosophy that spelling mistakes automatically invalidate whatever thesis you are defending.

I'm disappointed to hear that ruler and compass constructions didn't engage them. I'm currently working on digitising a Hebrew translation of Euclid's Elements, and I was hoping that the very physical aspect (almost like art class) would be more engaging than theoretical stuff, and the fact that it's independent of any numbers would make it less scary than usual maths class. I still think there's educational value in Euclid's Elements beyond the historical importance, but it seems that I might be wrong on it being more engaging in an educational context for most kids.

> Trying to figure out who is better at penalty kicks based on counts of scores/misses.
