Besides the suburbs being an unsustainable pyramid scheme, you mean?

We're already seeing the start of cities going bankrupt or into heavy debt because all of the sewers and infrastructure they built 30-60 years ago need replacements that taxes can't possibly cover - and that's before you consider how subsidized the suburbs are with roads, cheap gas, and so on.
But where ? On the power pole ? Within neighbor property ? For what I know you’re the first one to plan long distance drones (beside military), am I wrong ?

I feel like this is a bit unfair. Rust takes most of its names from C++ or OCaml.

You just are exposed to different languages than what was used as the base.
We've resisted many trends and sticking with AngularJS 1.8 in our 8 figure ARR SaaS. Customers have no clue we are running AngularJS and even if they did, our SPA is as snappy today as it was in 2017 when we launched v1 of our SaaS so why would anyone care?

Backend is a python Falcon REST API and there too we resisted internally calls for moving to newer async frameworks, port some parts to Go, etc.

Here's my anecdotal data: I'm sitting on a bus writing this wearing a respirator, as I have every bus trip for the lady few years. I've had several vaccinations. I've changed a few behaviours, but not many (e.g. I avoid packed indoor environments where possible).

I am yet to get COVID.

Saying "masks" without qualifiers is mostly pointless. Most people still associate masks with basically useless blue surgical masks.

Maybe I'm just lucky but the science of respirators is compelling and I find it hard to believe we wouldn't see a dramatic reduction in infection rates if everyone wore them.
Good points and info, IMO. One suggestion, though:

I think the current antagonism is something that started with management many decades ago.

I think the pattern goes back, well, as far as you want to go back. There have always been individuals who think that they* should be in charge. There's a continual 'tug-of-war'.

For centuries, only a very few people were able to participate directly - when the world largely consisted of monarchies, empires, "hoards", and all of that**. Ancient Athens, and more recent "Enlightenment" ideas about "natural rights" and "mandate of the masses" etc. have generally been unusual in practice until quite recently.***

The data strongly support much more shared power past a certain level of technological and economic development, but, even if aware of the myriad examples, people with power-lust aren't going to stop. It's directly contradictory to that worldview, ambition, etc. - in multiple ways. And, any given person is likely to tack more towards or away from such notions over time, depending on multiple factors.

Right now, it seems there's much more interest, in multiple realms, on consolidating power, again.

Caveat populus.

* Not consciously intentional play on "the royal we"

** Before that, there's a lot more variation, AFAIK, but also a lot less confidence and evidence - though, ancient Egypt and China (three kingdoms etc.) come to mind as particularly early examples with solid enough information regarding ruling over large numbers of people by individuals (and various attempts &/ smaller "kingdoms" etc.)

PJ Vogt (of former Reply All podcast) recently did a really thoughtful podcast about "What's it like to slowly go blind?"

Tell HN: macOS Terminal remote connection manager
I just came across something that I have always subconsciously missed in my 20 years as a macos Terminal user.

`Shift-Command-K` [0] opens a dialog window, from which you can initiate ssh, sftp, ftp and telnet connections in a new terminal window. You can also keep a list of hosts.

It would be even cooler, if it would parse your .ssh/config for hosts.

What is the "standard linux file system"?

ext4 on an old system, feeble in comparison to yours, performs much better.

ext4, 8GB memory, 2 core Intel i7-4600U 2.1GHz, Toshiba THNSNJ25 SSD:

$ time ls -U | wc -l
555557

real 0m0.275s
user 0m0.022s
sys 0m0.258s

stat(2) slows it down, but sill this is not as poor as your results:

$ time ls -lU | wc -l
555557

real 0m2.514s
user 0m1.126s
sys 0m1.407s

Sorting is not prohibitively expensive:

$ time ls | wc -l

Drop caches, sort, and stat:

In addition to this, is the new (stage 3 even!)explicit resource management proposal[0], supported by TypeScript version >= 5.2[1]

>Even the much-maligned whale- and whaling-specific chapters say so much about the craft (is it even a novel?) of writing.

It's been a while since I read Moby-Dick in my 11th grade English class, but the impression I got is that it's a whaling ship's operating handbook with some revenge-plot narrative flair here and there.

This is why Adam Smith hated rent seeking behaviour and I think its the biggest flaw in how we do capitalism: the wealthy create wealth by controlling stuff - especially natural monopolies like land, not by doing any actual work. It's parasitic.

Maybe that is the optimum way to get investment? Like how coders at an interview could talk about how they solve business problems with simple solutions, but instead need to talk about how they have kubernetes and microservices experience, know Martin Fowler's patterns inside out, can recite what the L in SOLID means, etc.
This is nifty, thanks for sharing! I had no idea that sed had a hold buffer, and it's very cool that you can swap it in and out within the sed command like that. It's funny, because I went essentially the opposite way that you did: I used to know sed and awk basics, but then I properly learned awk. Since then my sed has atrophied a bit, and I still only know the basics. I'll have to run through that tutorial you linked
Okay… please… someone implement ‘nand’ and write a script that does something simple using only it.
IIUC this should be fine - MemoryChunk doesn't seem to deallocate the memory (so we leak), unless there's a dealloc somewhere (sorry, not logged in to GH so cannot search). Which is not the worst outcome here, because as you said, we don't want to deallocate this memory since there may be places that still refer to it...

If Fig goes down, you fall back to the regular shell that doesn't have autocomplete etc. If Fig gets hacked, that's scary, then again GitHub and others are similarly big targets.

Idk though, this doesn't seem useful enough to me as an individual that I'd bother looking into it. Maybe for a team or company.

I don't think that's such a sure thing.

Good enough is good enough.

Hire people who you can coach up a bit at a good value and get the job done. Hardly any job needs the best people available. They really just need to get enough out out people who are good enough.

If that's not the kind of place somebody who considers themselves a good programmer wants to work, that's fine, too.
Peter, I am sorry that some users drove you away, possibly myself included. I am personally doing what I can to keep the Fortran open source (and commercial) community together, I have done this before (e.g., with SymPy), and the Fortran community can be very tough in some of the responses.

Moby Dick is a combination of a beautiful story combined with the most boring details imaginable about whaling. As far as I recall those details add nothing to the story beyond Melville being worried he would not have enough "street cred" with whalers unless he added enough details to show that he knows what real whaling is all about.

I have often been tempted to use a razor and go Jefferson Bible on that book, cutting out all the pointless detailed sections.

The dissent even quotes Impact Theory's framing of the NFTs as an investment.

Given everything else, this is a pretty vanilla Howey test: they were selling shares with jpegs attached.

This dissent is really about the nature of enforcement, not whether these were unregistered securities.

This is what a trial is for? I'm not sure if you understand how a civil trial works. But lawyers from both sides get to present evidence supporting their case. Unless you're suggesting that 3M (market cap: $57.5 billion) did not have the resources to defend themselves against a frivolous suit.

Because that’s the number of days teachers are required to work in Georgia and many other states. School is 180 days and then they have 2 weeks worth of teacher work days etc..

This has nothing to do with the south. Take the highest minimum wage in the country, Washington D.C., at $17 an hour.

The state with the lowest paid teachers pay more than that even assuming 12 hour days.

A masters degree isn’t required, you just start out making a few thousand a year more if you have one. Each year the gap grows though so that it becomes more and more worth it.

Also $62k a year is the starting salary for a teacher with no experience, but it’s only slightly lower than the median salary for anyone with a masters degree.

Also in many states teachers get defined benefit pensions and other benefits which are far better than what nearly anyone in the private sector gets. In Georgia, teachers can retire with their full pension after only 30 years. I know many teachers who retire in their early 50s. 10 years before nearly anyone else.

Teaching is a hard job and they probably are underpaid for the value the provide, but this misconception about teachers making below minimum wage and Jen accounting for hours worked is just wrong. Also I know a ton of teachers and most of them aren’t working more than 45-50 hours a week during the school year after their first year or 2.

Curious to learn more about your switch from Emacs to VSCode?

I'm a super confused soul, and currently I use all of them:

- Emacs (for clojure / lisps / big projects).

- NeoVim (for when I want to work in the shell, smaller scripts/playground, ssh).

- VScode (js / ts / frontend / figma / etc).

I've made both my vim and emacs keybindings / features almost identical, so there is limited context switching there.

I feel very slow in VSCode, I don't even have one of my most common task optimised in VSCode yet: grepping something and quickly moving to that buffer.
If I’m not mistaken this dates back pretty far before the time when time capsules became “a thing” so to speak, which makes it very unlikely in my mind it’s a prank.

Because a prank like that only makes sense if a time capsule is already a common cultural phenomenon.

Also I think the effects of 200 years can not be understated. Clothes that have been sitting in a closet under certain conditions for 50 years can fall apart when tried on. I wouldn’t be so sure that only paper could have been in the box, but the people putting it in would not necessarily have realised paper doesn’t preserve well in a time capsule if they were among the first ones creating one.

This is a rather simplistic and politically motivated perspective. Europe is not the liberal promised land it’s perceived to be by US Democrats. Politics, like humor, is lost in translation. Fascism is on the rise. Domination by the ethno-religious majority is uncontroversial. Governments are bureaucratic and hog-tied by regulatory minutiae. Society is classist and insular. The barrier to crossing the continent for better pay and opportunity is high. The economy lacks innovation and dynamism. People are poorer, taxes are higher, and financial independence or early retirement is much more out of reach. The social safety net, like those beautiful old buildings, is always at risk of crumbling.

The food is spectacular and the culture is top rate. The cities are incredibly livable, the vacations are long and life comes before work.

Personal experience with CBT-I from years ago. One technique my therapist helped me develop was keeping a mat/ pile of blankets next to my bed.

The article mentions getting out of bed if you can’t sleep for 20-30 minutes. For me, that would mean going in my “second bed”, and tossing and turning down there, before getting back in bed after exhaustion.

The whole goal/ success was associating bed with “sleep, sex, and being sick” (three S’s)

Basically, even now, as soon as I get up, I try to get out of bed as soon as possible. I rarely lay in bed on my laptop or watching TV. When I feel like lounging in bed and using my laptop, watching TV or playing my Switch, I move to my guest room. My brain/ body has pretty solidly learned the habit that laying in my actual bed = time for sleep.

It took a long time (maybe a year?) to develop the pattern/ habit, and of course YMMV, but, CBT-I has done wonders for me
The title seems like a play with Harold Bloom's concept of the "anxiety of influence" in which a "strong poet" has the uncanny effect of making a predecessor seem like poor imitator. In either case, the title gave me a chuckle since it might casually mean Homer is a "weak" poet (no predecessor edge-case).

The article is another primer on the old debate on whether a single person authored the works under Homer, whether there was an original author and many editors/co-authors (analytical), or (Parry) the result of an oral tradition (which died out, hence no successors).

The amusing thing is to find there is no condition here in which Homer could be considered a "strong" poet according to Bloom (which is totally irrelevant here, save for a possible allusion in the title).
