An yet, google still wont release a official vmware/virtualbox image for chrome os or generic ISO. If they dont believe enough to let users play and enjoy it, why would I buy a laptop just to play with it.

I love how it has linux containers and linux available, why google has its artificial hands off policy, making you jump hoops of downloading a 3rd party install, convert it into a VM, and then dont do an OS upgrade or it breaks the vm, its just a bad experience.
When I was young, and I enjoyed learning to program, I thought everyone could learn to program, and they would enjoy it.

Many decades later I've come to understand that programming is an intrinsically shitty job [1] which can only be done well by people who really love doing it. You cannot force people to learn programming. You can offer opportunity, but those that enjoy it will enjoy it. The language is irrelevant - joy trumps difficulty.

This is true for so many well-paid jobs. Smart kids get pushed into medicine, but good doctors are those that like being around sick people (and making them better). Sure it pays well, but often that's a sign that its a shitty job with a high skill level, and high societal value.

I'd still be programming even if I didn't get paid. It gets my motor running. But I understand now that its not for everyone.

[1] go on, describe your job to a middle schooler. Hours behind a desk, staring at a screen, spending hours to find out what a comma should have been a period... it's their very definition of a nightmare.
I know. But I doubt the total file size is too big. So storage costs will be extremely low. And if they use cloudflare r2, there isn't even any egress fee. The app is already charging $7 per month subscription. Even a single purchase would most likely cover the entire storage cost.

It benefits from the immersion of being a - not exactly a game, but an interactive experience. Yes, there are some plot points that you have to hit. But just being able to walk around and see the characters and conversations at your own pace is hugely rewarding (kind of like immersive theatre). For me it was a great success, as was Life is Strange - and interestingly for both of those, the most "gamey" parts (the puzzles and quick-time events) were the least satisfying.

> Source for this so called objective fact?

This law came about after a case about caste discrimination against Cisco was dismissed. Or you can do some basic searches of twitter and mastodon for first hand accounts.

> Even it true it doesn't doesn't demonstrate that. There are strict laws against murder, theft, assault etc. and they happen quite frequently. The fact that they are occurring doesn't automatically mean existing laws are not sufficient. Is there any country in the world where crime has been totally eliminated by just passing a million laws?

What?

The whole point of this is that caste discrimination exists, and it happens, and it's not illegal. Pointing to things like murder, theft, etc is bizarre: all of those things are illegal, so when they happen the person responsible has broken the law. That's literally the point. Currently caste discrimination is not explicitly against the law, so your example would only ever be relevant if murder, theft, or assault were not already illegal.

Seriously, I don't understand the point you're trying to make here. It's also explicitly illegal to discriminate based on race and gender and that happens, but the victims can sue precisely because it is illegal.

It would be interesting to revisit this experiment. There was recent news of the purchase of a large area of land on the outskirts of the SF Bay Area to build a "new kind of city", but the info on it is sparse: https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/solano-fairfield...

This is kind of interesting. Netanyahu used an expression that I wasn't sure about, עיי חורבות, which actually sounds a lot like "Destroyed islands". I looked it up and apparently it just means "ruins", but I wonder if the first translation just misheard/misunderstood what he said.

You are still comparing meaningless numbers. If Tesla assisted driving systems are less safe then the rest that is where the focus should be, and last I checked 70% of accidents involving driver assisted systems where teslas, and they are only 1% of cars on the road.

That is a HUGE problem and 100% where regulation should be focusing.

This has been my experience too, I missed out more by being sidlined during good times than I saved. Personally as an engineering mindset person I am good at identifying likely failure modes of companies (i.e. reality) but rarely anticipate how much things will go up during good times which is more of a social phenomenon (hype).

This is indeed /exactly/ what I wondered once people started quoting St. Paul, and as a historian, the implications aren't great.
I had a couple of MD players/recorders (they could do both from memory) back in the day - I still view them with a fondness I have never been able to muster for any other class of device.

Something about the size, intricate control buttons and switches, the jewelled MD disc case just made the whole thing delightful to me as a 15 year old.

Perhaps it was also due to me developing my own taste in music at the time that I am linking the nostalgia of that to the players themselves.
The fact that you're being downvoted for factual contributions kind of explains why it's possible to beat the markets. Most people refuse to believe it.

No public strategies are going to beat the market by a huge amount, and having the discipline to execute them manually isn't easy, but it has been clearly shown to be possible.
It may sound like that, but let's assume positive intentions.

This person might wanted to point out that the people who argue about the bill (which is certainly not 1.5B people), can't escape from and leave behind their mental prison of casteism, and they import a new form of racism into the US, which is not ideal.
People successfully time the market all the time (some more than others). Only fools broadcast their intentions.

If they are broadcasting it, the broadcast is part of the strategy.
So what now, anything they gave up on enforcing just should be legal?

>>>How? Programmers don't have executive powers.

The secret is - and this is wielded a million times a day in a million small ways - of course we do. Lots of people do in lots of jobs, whether intended or not.

You just do the thing. You don't ask about doing the thing, you don't put in a project planning proposal, you don't beg your manager to devote 20% of your time to the thing, you just go and do it because you probably can. And as long as you do it, and it goes well, and nobody really notices until it's working, then it turns out you did have executive powers the whole time.

Just do the thing. Ask forgiveness, not permission.
Oh sure - call it “cognitive homeostasis” or something like that, as a baseline thing.

But I do think we socialize people to be obstinate, for a variety of reasons and in a variety of ways, some of which are:

1) How often has someone told you what to do, and been more right, versus times they’ve been more wrong, or missing something about your situation, or lying about their motivations and goals, such that what they were telling you wasn’t actually what you should do?

2) Totally makes sense to me that towns, etc, would have a history of the central authority showing up and saying “change like this”, and only awhile later finding out why that was bad for them.

3) AFAIK, most of the time the experience a town would have with a central authority is that authority showing up to take something the town doesn’t want to give.

So you put all that together, and it makes sense to me that people would resist something like centralized time keeping “just because”.
When I walk through a market and someone approaches me with conversation and suggestions, I don’t need to know what their angle is; I can safely assume that they have one, and that it ends in my pocket getting lighter if I follow them to it.

Resistance makes sense unless you have good reasons to trust the other party.
The biggest pitfall is DRY imho. Write generic code, reuse abstractions. It's the most elegant way. Except it always tends to lead to these god classes, super systems, that try to be most flexible and to do everything. Then comes the point where it becomes impossible to understand all the interactions and half of your codebase falls apart if anything changes. All because you were to proud to copy & paste a few lines like it's a deadly sin.
I read a comment on here a while back that explains a lot about the world. Essentially, research shows that a large fraction of the population don't believe one party can win without another party losing. Specifically, in order for them to win, someone else must lose. It's clear to see that when such a person is faced with a request that doesn't obviously benefit them, they will conclude that the other person will win and therefore they must be the loser.
I'm not sure how the devices were zeroed. This will probably be an issue when we put it back together. I think some of the gears could be loosened on the shaft so they could be rotated to the correct point. The manual defines the zero points for all the synchros, i.e. 0° means X pressure or Y temperature, so I guess you'd adjust everything to those points.
What alternative word would you prefer to be used? The Norse didn't have a name for their religion before encountering Christianity.
How about instead of nitpicking someone’s comment you actually try to reply to their valid criticisms of your link?

I've had a Sharp MD-MT-161E and a Sony MZ-N520. Both lasted for about 3-5 years of frequent but gentle use before they started having spin problems and giving frequent disk read errors. I'd love to get another one, but prices are high and reliability is poor. While they worked, they were really great for recording, and decent for listening to music, but today I'm using simple digital recorders that write MP3 and FLAC to SD cards and it's hard to beat them for reliability. I still hope to someday find a good deal on another minidisc player though. I'm sure I've got tracks I've recorded onto minidiscs, but never got around to copying to my PC.

You're right, and usually threads that do get up-voted are focused on specific technological novelties, whether in the title of the article or the content.

Just look at this story - the reasons it's considered "reasonable" for HN is because the framing is a technological story (internet traffic spike). That then also gives a small space for some people to discuss other aspects of this.

Things Don't Make Sense
I'd go so far as to suggest that Dikstra was right, but without the Basic qualification.

It is very hard to teach programming to students.

Most students at the time had some exposure to Basic (there was little else available to the non-student at the time), but programming is hard. Most students make lousy programmers, especially if one adjusts for the standard Dikstra might have been hoping for.

He chose to see Basic as the common denominator in the ones who failed (with the "almost" qualification to cover the outliers) but I'd suggest that correlation is not the same as causation. Then again, who am I to argue with Dikstra?

To time the market, you need visibility into it down fine intervals and tools not available to anyone without a 3 digit investment. Common tools obfuscate data. A typical movement of the market that is obvious on a detailed chart, is explained haphazardly by likely automated financial press. The jobs data was strong on Friday, leading to likelihood of higher interest rates for longer, yet the market jumped up that day? Was that a Dead cat bounce? Short-sellers exiting their positions before a long weekend? A move to drum up retail investor interest in a last ditch effort before the S&P crosses the 4200 point of no return? The beginning of the next bull market?

The retail investor software is designed to take advantage of retail investors left and right. Placing trades is error prone. The spreads can be ridiculous (0.5% at 9:30am). the market zigzags consistently so no stop loss is left un-triggered before a bounce. These conditions are currently leading to a world of take-profit trading. Timing works if you pay attention to it all the time, but most don’t have the time for that. Your retailer software won’t warn you when you are losing profits gained in the past year. That’s why long term investors become complacent after a long stretch of growth and stop paying attention. With bots trading increasingly more and interest rates remaining higher, the market will not look the same as it did since 2010 AT ALL and the data from before then is only a usable in detail to those who can pay. Once retail investors have seen the lines go down. the bounce back won’t be as linear as 2020 or this spring. Treasuries require a lot less sweat.
For some reason this reminds me of the 1987 reboot of Dragnet, starring Dan Ackroyd, in which a satanic crime ring called PAGAN ("People Against Goodness And Normalcy") were planning on sacrificing a virgin. IIRC it was secretly run by the local archibishop.

But honestly, at this point, we've had 30 years of largely positive press for neopagans; I don't see how the word could be considered pejorative.
> Why?

Self-preservation results from survival of the fittest.

It's totally unrelated to intelligence.

People conflate the two because they're extrapolating from a sample size of one: the only intelligent thing they know of is humans. But that single sample also happens to have been evolved by survival of the fittest.

I am totally unafraid of LLM's deciding that humans are a threat to them. I'll start being afraid if AI research suddenly stops using backpropagation and starts getting equally good results using genetic programming (this is highly unlikely).
In a way, this could be considered adding a speculative transformation of the input as part of the input to some layer, and the network deciding whether or not to use that transformation. It would be akin to a convolution layer in a CNN, albeit far more domain-specific. But I’m not sure how much research has been done on weird layers like this!

Two Families Got Fed Up with Their States' Politics. So They Moved Out

I work at a school, and hop boy do the students damage their laptops a lot. When we hit the point where we refused to loan out laptops for stupid shit like the kid punched the laptop screen, we found that the year coordinators actually needed a very simple daily report with the name of the student and how long the laptop has been in for repair.

That’s it. And you know what? It was useful.

You can make as many fancy dashboards as you like. But if the data is truly useful operationally, it will likely be a boring list with no graphics.
OK, fair enough that these two were incompatible, but I think your earlier statement is really misleading!

> language extensions which were poorly documented and mutually incompatible but basically mandatory due to widespread usage

Neither DeriveAnyClass nor GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving is basically mandatory, and this problem only existed between the introduction of the latter in 2015 and the introduction of deriving strategies is 2017.

It's definitely fair to say there's a lot of crufty stuff in the Haskell world (there's also a lot of crufty stuff in the ecosystem of any other language I've used) but I think you really overstated the case.
To add to that by Strugeon law organizations cannot hire “best of the best”.

Organization has option to hire crud and have stuff done where other option is not having done anything at all.

Other option of course is to work best employees to the ground.
> My company can fire me tomorrow, they will forget my name in 5 days. To "fire" my company, I need to find another job, maybe in another city, working with colleagues I don't know who may eat food at lunch break I don't like the smell of.

I don't think is very good comparison, generally. Some other company could offer you a job and you can leave any time. Depending on your tasks, the company might have very difficult time finding replacement personnel. This could be very significant (relative) cost for the company.

Personally I have always lived in countries where employee protection laws are very employee-friendly. Companies can't just fire people at will, they need good reasons. There might be significant fines for misfiring for wrong reasons.

I guess misconceptions like these are why theorists abandoned the term 'communism' in favor of 'communalism' to explain what they meant.

Yeah. I fell in love with the game when I was sitting in the prince's car listening to the lovely violin/piano duet. I was so absorbed in the music and the scene and wondering about the characters, that I didn't realize until the concert was almost over that it would have been a great opportunity to be somewhere else since all these characters are here. Which is exactly what I needed to do.

So fun to be snooping and lurking and listening to conversations you're not supposed to overhear, and piecing together the story and relationships.
It is the creativity of making new stuff that is the fun of programming. That should outweigh the shittyness described.
Personally I think of Haskell the same way I think of C++ in terms of language features. There are so many and so much to choose from that there should be one person in every company that has simply decided that the company uses this particular subset and that's it, pending very detailed and well-motived discussions in the future, but at a snail's pace.

In my particular case I would also prefer for that subset to be chosen with a conservative and considerably less PLT-enthusiastic mindset, i.e. bog standard `RIO` style that prefers imperative code working on bags of mutable values of different types when solving problems.

But yeah, Haskell is a wide language and that's why it's so hard to adopt. People tend to learn ostensibly the wrong things, oftentimes from people who've never actually written any real production code but like to theorize and hypothesize about "the best pattern for X" and so on.
I would choose it for a new project over any native stack in a heartbeat. I think a lot of engineers would agree with me.
