They company had the freedom to enter into a contract that restricted their ability to fire employees, and they did so.
You are advocating riding a bike instead of a car in Finland of all the places? And doing it all year round? And as supporting argument you point to YouTube videos? I'm speechless...
Should according to what? Genuinely curious what your foundational reasoning is?
I somewhat agree with this when they’re running smoothly: you can pay for a few quality of life upgrades and get an experience only a little bit worse than a more expensive airline for somewhat less money.

When things go wrong, though, I feel like Spirit does a pretty awful job. I had them cancel a flight on me at the last minute, and the only thing they would offer was a much later flight to an airport three hours from my destination or a flight to my destination in five days.

As a result, I’d much rather fly something like Southwest. Buy a ticket at the right time and they’ll sell it to you dirt cheap, you’re pretty much guaranteed a decent experience, and if something goes wrong they have enough flights and routes and customer service policies to get you taken care of.
Let's not pretend that passenger vessels are less likely to be subject to accidents.

The Famous Article (TFA) is an exemplar of dispassionate substantive, liberal criticism.

The shortcomings of systemd seem likely the overall shortcomings of open source: none of the $PROJECT maintainers experience $PAIN_POINT, so it is simply not a priority for $PROJECT.

Somehow this seems a variation on the tragedy of the commons => https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons

Without some capitalist skin in the game, the $PAIN_POINTS become difficult to prioritize.
My interpretation:

Good APIS, preferably declarative, allows the scientist to write concise code.

I’ve seen it in person. At that time (90s) they had it open to one page, and would turn the page every week or so.

Unfortunately when I was there some clueless old codger decided to take a picture with a 35mm camera, leading to a massive flash, after all the signs telling everyone not to. It really brought home how much safer these artifacts are when the idiot public has no access.
So three books and then ChatGPT.

Not that you can't learn anything in the world though ChapGPT, but if you don't know what questions to ask then it won't get you as far.
The public, correctly, perceives these all as just "stupid ideas with no power to build things." It's like "supply-side economics." Nobody really cares what "scholars" in the field actually think that label means. I'd note that aerospace engineers don't have to chide the public about the precise labels to apply to their field.
> the state of both X and Gnome were atrocious.

X was working fine. Gnome was always a child with problems.
That's contingent on how Apple implements the features. When Apple works with standards and local computing, we get great user-respecting software like the OG iTunes and QuickTime. When Apple works against standards and local computing, we get headscratchers like Apple Music and AppleTV.
To suggest a harsh opinion on things here:

If you’re in a position of power, and not medically licensed, then giving authoritative medical advice to the public should be a crime - especially when such advice results in death.
This is some kind of problem at OpenAI.

Agreed!

This C compiler, at ~2297 LOC (this number includes empty lines, actual LOC is less) -- is certainly worthy of being included in the group of small C compilers for study!

9.5/10 for me (could still be smaller and could still be better documented -- as could all other small OS'es/compilers -- so not a criticism -- a global group observation!)... but that being said, kudos to the author for what was no doubt a lot of hard work!

Well done!
It's interesting how rapidly the beancounters quashed CSR autonomy and put everything behind inscrutable ticketing systems.

Even at relatively small companies, with internal tools and support teams this happened pretty rapidly in the 2010s. I've worked at all sorts of small companies with as few as 500 employees where we initially just had a list of "guys" to call for different issues.. and eventually some Big Company MBA Type would come in and kill it. Next thing you know there's 5 different ticketing system queues obfuscating the fact that it's still the same 1-2 guys supporting each queue.

Turnaround time got worse, users were unhappier, support team was unhappier, we had to pay SaaS companies for their ticketing system, and probably hire a Global Head Of __ to run the whole thing. BUT.. we now could measure all the misery! Incredible!

How about the basic freedom of and from not having your life arbitrarily ruined by a company that has very specific incentives that often involve the destruction of the environment, social health, individual health, the economy, etc.

We've already put a straightjacket on corporations because everybody has accepted that their incentives lead them to cause untold damage when unleashed.

Simply allowing them to harm individuals is the worst kind of "compromise".

Your worries about negative feedback are premature. It's hard to get anybody to read a blog regularly. At best a post will make the FP of HN and get ~50 comments. Maybe you'll get an email from someone who subscribed by RSS and thus gets your content updates. That's not so bad, is it?
Eliminating employer-based health insurance doesn't require socialized healthcare. Another approach would be to require everyone to purchase private insurance on a retail basis, with subsidies for low-income people.
Sure, but couldn't you get the same advantages is systemd logged to a text file instead of a custom binary format? The advantages is that it's handling stdout, stderr, log creation, log rotation, etc.

I'm not comparing it to sysvinit here, I'm comparing it to any other modern init system.
Here is a recent perspective.

[1] "Why Swiss trains are less punctual — and what is being done about it" - https://www.thelocal.ch/20220110/why-swiss-trains-are-less-p...

Once more a variation on how to lie with statistics... It does not matter if the overall statistics show a somewhat high value, mostly driven by predicable and frequent travels between Cantons in the mountains, where there is maybe just one track. What matters is the experience of the majority of commuters on urban centers. From [1] in 2022, the year of most recent statistics.

"The punctuality values in the last three months on some major intercity routes are below the threshold:

Zurich HB - Bern: 73.5 percent of on-time arrivals and departures

Lausanne - Geneva: 71.5 percent

Basel - Zurich: 67.5 percent

Zug - Zurich HB: 76.1 percent

Olten - Lucerne: 66.7 percent "

Interesting, thanks for posting. I was looking for something similar although aimed primarily at drum patterns programming and later arranging them into a song, not unlike the older drum machines allowed, but more modern with visual representation of patterns as objects on screen and the ability to create variations just by cloning them for example by drag&drop then applying the needed changes, then link them together. This could be also used live, possibly creating different paths according to MIDI signals from external devices (pads? - pedalboard?) for example to choose to continue a song for a few more bars, or a different ending, a song variation based on the audience mood, etc.
Comments are a rare occurence. In fact even getting negative feedback is an indication that you have engaged readers, which is a big deal.
Ask HN: Isn't a spec for parseable man pages and –help output long overdue?
This isn't a criticism of man pages / roff / etc -- they've done and continue to do a great job.

However, it would be fantastic to have a widely accepted standard for parseable man pages and CLI --help output.

I understand that getting adoption for public specs is hard, and that existing man pages and --help are rather well established, but humanity has to do this at some point! What initiatives are there / have there been?

> The mindset … might be fine in a research setting

A vast amount of software is written for research papers that would be useful to people other than the paper’s authors. A lot of software that is in common use by commercial teams started off in academia.

One of the major issues I see is the lack of maintenance of this software, especially given all the problems written in your post and the one above. If the software is a big ball of mud, good luck to anyone trying to come in and make a modification for their similar research paper, or commercial application.

I don’t know the answer to this, but I think additional funding to biology labs to have something like a software developer who is devoted to making sure their lab’s software follows reasonably close to software development best practices would be a great start. If it’s a full time position where they’d likely stick around for many years, some of the maintenance issues would resolve themselves, too. This software-minded person at a lab would still be there even after the biology researchers have moved on elsewhere, and this software developer could answer questions from other people interested about code written years ago.

That freedom exists. Anyone who didn't want to work with this person was free to quit at any time.

We use a bit of asymmetrical freedom here in the US; we don't FORCE anyone to stay, but we don't allow you to bar people from being present without a good reason. And in general, "at will" employment is the norm and this is a special case; it's only when a company shows that it is incapable of being reasonable when stuff like this happens.

They forfeited the control over their employment by being irresponsible, by being incredibly unprofessional, by holding employees to personal standards outside of professional bounds. They stopped acting like an employer, so they lost the benefits that come with that status.

My theory is that people prefer the mixing on vinyl releases. They are in fact mixed differently in order to cope with the technical limitations of the vinyl medium.
Just watched a train leave and another arrive at Untervaz Bahnhof: https://www.rhb.ch/en/interactive/rhb-livestream. The live map showed it leaving before it did on the cam, and has a timestamp that is closer to my computer than the live map. They are maybe 30-45 seconds apart.

That stream page randomly shows different stations and ads, so you have to time it right!

Huh I wonder if I could setup a local police force to do keyword research now for cheap with a few overbroad warrants.
This sort of freedom only benefits capitalists, at the expense of everyday people, and threatens democracy itself. The employer-employee relationship is not a partnership of equals, especially in places like the US where lack of employment is pretty much a slow death sentence.

A company isn't just a bunch of people who want to work with each other, unless it's structured as a worker owned coop, partnership, or similar. More often than not it's a legal institution created for the express purpose of extracting profit by extracting value out of poorer people's labor. There's no inherent "freedom" for any such entity, only what society chooses to give it.
Lol, I had the exact same thought. There's something.. Off about its writing style; reminds me of marketing copy or 'HR speak'.
Very cool! I think it's missing some entries though. I'm pretty sure we've had at least one in third_party/ffmpeg. Those fixes often land upstream first which might make tracking difficult.

Compare C++ and Ada. C++ standard is an order of magnitude bigger and more complex and yet C++ is thriving. So Ada's failure definitively is not due to the language complexity. C++ has been supported heavily by the corporate, too. Biggest C++ champion was Microsoft, after all.

Why is it absurd? It's already illegal. The only absurd thing is that said authorities or former authorities have faced no significant consequences for it.
“We want to make sure that people know that the incident was very distressing to us. We can’t believe that it happened,” he continued. “I don’t think anything can really remedy this. We’ve been remunerated for the insurance value, but it’s not about the money. It’s about the preservation of American musical history and heritage.”

They sure are clutching pearls over something that supposedly isn't about the money. Of course, they only insured it for 40k by accident, but they did say it wasn't about the money, so it must not be about the money.

You know what they mean when they say it isn't about the money?

Its about the money. Thing was massively uninsured.

Personally I know nothing about guitars and as such, if I saw a replica in a movie versus the original, I would have no idea it was different. I think this is more about Terantino wanting the original to be used than about any potential viewer.

What would the outrage be, exactly, if it was discovered the one portrayed wasn't the original? None, that's what.

If the Martin Museum forever more will no longer lend musical instruments to all of hollywood.... oh well, I guess?

Many of these texts have been around long enough for many dedicated people to put forth their own translations, and if relevant (like with many Chinese texts) with some kind of further researched commentary/citations to better explain linguistic concepts/cultural references that may not immediately be obvious otherwise.

It helps a lot of texts without/before involving deities can actually be quite short and sweet, comparatively. Personally, I've found the greek classics to be much more difficult to get into than most of these "sacred texts".
You're claiming that someone who you disagrees with you is brainwashed.

Do you not see the irony?
My impression is that the problem with health insurance is that it incentivises hospitals to mark up all of their invoice items by factors of tens. And that behind closed doors the insurance companies negotiate lower actual prices for themselves, so that they don't ever even really pay that much to the hospitals. Which, on its own is not a problem. But the problem is that the end result of this is that anyone who is without health insurance is completely screwed the moment they get a severe health problem. And I don't see any reason why anyone should end up economically f*cked for life just because they didn't have health insurance in any one particular moment of their life where something bad happened to them.

But as a first approximation, it would still certainly be an improvement to untangle the employers from the health insurance. And have people buy health insurance privately for a couple of decades and then with the experience of that in hand improve things further. Not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good an all that.
What freedom? You get locked up if you take certain drugs.
“meta-analysis” are still taken seriously in the medical world?
That hydroxychloroquine became that widely used was a big policy failure. The initial data was bad, maybe even fraudulent. And that was certainly noted by experts at the time. Doing some larger follow-up studies would have been sensible, and those did show that it wasn't useful. But what happened as well was that the hype derails other studies as HCQ became kind of the standard of care before it was properly evaluated.

And then there were all kinds of grifters and charlatans that promoted this drug, even far after the point where we knew for certain it was of no use. Though many of them switched to ivermectin then, which also didn't work (unless you also had the parasites it was designed to treat).

Sorry to the repliers here, I hadn't checked replies in a couple days...

The car in question is a Dec 2016 Tesla Model S, location is Northern Colorado, USA. I don't have space in my garage, so the car is outside. My normal trips are 5 miles around town.

How is this not a deal breaker? It's happened for maybe 10-15 days of the 7 years I've had it. It's not going to be an issue if you park in a garage. Much further south and it's not going to be a problem. Much further north and you're going to want to have a garage, or...

Charge after you drive, so the battery isn't dead cold. Much of my lack of ability to charge has been due to scheduling the charging to start at midnight, so if I drive the car and plug it in, it will sit there for 4-8 hours before it starts trying to charge. When you drive it, the battery warms up enough that you can charge.

This means that if you plug it in and it won't charge, unless the battery is nearly dead, you can go drive it for 10-30 minutes and plug it in. Also, if you drive more than I do in a day (10-20 miles a day), if you plug it in after driving and start charging immediately, you'll probably be fine.

The more time of the year and the further down you tend to go, I'd expect more issues with charging if your car is outside.

But, this is from my perspective. If you live in a dramatically different climate, see if you can find someone in your area with your usage patterns to get their opinion.
Unfortunately corporations are not democracies, so no matter what happens, they can ignore our 'vote' when we use dollars. Spending or not spending money does not compel any company to do anything. So, the comparison is not valid.
Why don't we have one open source SaaS boilerplate?
Sure but the relationship between assembly and source lines can be very complicated, even for trivial code:

https://godbolt.org/z/hjW4T934q

And that capability is not remotely unique to C - look at the list of languages Godbolt supports! Not all of them support linking source code to assembly but a large number do: C++, Rust, Zig, Ada, even Dart.

Sorry to hear that, that's awful. I'm glad you (and everyone else hopefully) made it out (relatively) safely.
Your friend sounds like they are not telling you the truth, because applying for a loan requires a social security number and your friend would have noticed being given their own.

Even if your friend was given information that was not hers, that’s not any better. To use someone else’s information to apply for a loan is identity theft and wire fraud.

That would be why the fake company had your friend do all of it, because they didn’t want their systems or IPs linked to the federal offenses they were doing, and instead they conned your friend into committing the crime and taking the fall, because if the company packs up and vanishes after the payday, the story your friend gives to the Feds is going to sound like something they probably hear all the time “people who used fake names and a fake company that vanished tricked me into committing wire fraud I swear it wasn’t me”

Your story smells fishy and not realistic imo, but that’s because I’ve known my SSN since I started working and filling out w4s at 14. I’d notice if someone gave me my own ssn to apply for a loan. I’d also never go apply for a real loan using my info or anyone else’s for some company asking me to. What other crimes did your friend commit on behalf of the mystery company?

As Todd Snider once said, "I might share some of my opinions with you over the course of the evening. I'm not gonna share them with you 'cause I think they're smart, or 'cause I think you need to know 'em; I'm gonna share 'em with you because they rhyme.".

You don't need to worry about negative feedback if you don't have a comments section. I implemented my blog myself with Django, and the reason it doesn't have a comments section is because I didn't write it, because I am lazy. But a side-effect of that is that the minimal effort it takes to open up a mail client and write something to the email address in the footer tends to weed out the lowest-effort shitposts & flames.

As for me, I started one (link in bio, as the kids say these days) thinking that it might become a tech blog, because tech is what I do all week, and probably what I know most about. And then it actually became me mostly writing occasionally about my car projects, because that is what I love. Don't worry too much about staying on topic, is what I'm getting at. "Be yourself" is a silly cliche (arguably not really a meaningful concept, either), but like, be yourself; regardless of the topic I can always read someone who writes about the things they are really passionate for.
