Is there an opposite of the Dead Sea Effect?

(I'm not talking about self-congratulatory conceits, like "raising the bar" and "fire fast", since the companies that first come to mind as saying those things tend to produce a large quantity of often poor quality, in very visible ways. Do we have concepts or terms lately for a place where most everyone does great work, and people who don't rise to that don't remain there?)
> There's a reason I still am skeptical of calling client-side devs "actual programmers".

Nothing in your comment actually supports this last jab at web developers. Can you elaborate? I imagine you can't because you're
arrogantly posturing.
> Kids are a massive expense

That's why someone's financial situation should be considered before deciding to have kids. It is a conscious decision that is actively taken and therefore no reason to put younger people at a disadvantage.

> As for age discrimination: is only letting people vote at a certain age, age discrimination?

Yes, that is age discrimination. It is usually accepted, because there is an argument for it: in the public's view you should be mature enough to understand the importance of elections and inform yourself before you can vote. That maturity certainly depends on age to some degree. Nevertheless, since it is still age discrimination, the specific age is often debated and here in germany it was reduced multiple times in the past, for different elections. I have even seen arguments that said kids should have a sort of "proxy" vote through their parents, by deciding who to vote for together.

As an option that's fine but it brings in a big dependency stack and lots of moving parts. acme2 might not look like it from the user end but internally there's a lot that's going on those acme programs are hiding. HTTP+HTTPS assures a site doesn't die just because of a cert renewal or CA problem (like LE's root cert expiring a couple years back, the switch from acme 1 to acme 2, your particular acme client having a dep that breaks on update, etc).

While commercial and institutional sites do have to operate with a different security model these days, human people not involved in monetary exchange or private information have the same requirements as ever. HTTPS is optional. A nice add-on but not vital. And definitely not HTTPS only if you want your site to last more than a few years without active manual mantainance.
The above commenter explained how. iPhones will sometimes simply refuse to send an actual text message if the phone number was once associated with an iMessage account. I have deregistered my phone number from iMessage, iCloud, and whatever else, and my parents' iPhones still send me iMessages despite texting my phone number, even replying to a message or geoup that I text messaged from my phone number. Apple has already been sued about this before. That and picture and video sending is horrible, I think because Apple has historically not implemented protocols that Android exposes.
Can we just have non-file tax system like other civilized countries? You know, like the ones that are able to provide for good roads and healthcare and housing? Often at even lower tax rates than America?
So they are following Tesla’s direct model?
It's a plug, sort of. There are fingers that interlock, but if the plug is moved vertically the fingers do not align and the "plug" can be removed outwards. There are supposed to be bolts installed (or in case of an actual door, a latching mechanism) to prevent this vertical movement.
100% agreed about U7 being kind of the best game ever. It was utterly mindblowing for me back in South Africa in the 90s, pre-internet, to have this massive "living" world. It's unfortunate that U8 was such a let down :/

Disturbing the peace? I got thrown out of a window! What's the fucking charge for getting pushed out of a moving car, huh? Jaywalking?
If there is a community contributing to a distro and those people can daily-drive it, it's perfectly fine for me. A small community is very nice to learn: I tried Adelie in the past and I had to do stuff I never even conceived was necessary on another distro, and the community was helpful. In the meantime, Ubuntu is busy helping newbies run their terminal.

Bonus if the distro does not use systemd or is not a copy of Ubuntu. Diversity is good.
> Plus, the Cybertruck is the most hyped/anticipated car in history

No it's not. And look at the Tesla forums around.

It is a massive disappointment in terms of range, price, off-road capabilities, repairability etc.

Stanford Statistics Course (online and PDF book)
I think it's an error to conflate the history of commits to being the "history" of the repository, simply because you're putting an assumed expectation that each commit represents a progression from the previous

to illustrate: I could create 10 different small commits from a list of unstaged changes that follow a pattern of progression, I could create 3 commits that group properties (e.g. "added interface and implementation -> lint -> add tests"), I could do all of this in a single commit, but none of those represent the reality that none of these commits werent done as the work was done and that the commits were arranged after the fact to conform to a personal standard that has nothing to do with timeline objectivity. it's not a history of anything other than of how the committer decided to layer their changes.
experienced buddhist meditators famously sometimes meditate despite chilblains, or incense burning on their scalps, or being aflame with gasoline, or starving themselves to death over a period of months

but if you try to begin your practice of buddhist meditation with incense burning on your scalp, you probably will not get very far; you will probably quit. instead, beginning meditation focuses on finding the pleasure in relaxing in a comfortable position, even though that is clearly not what motivates more experienced meditators

(and of course you're aware old don and old ed (rip) spent a lot of effort on typography, though they sometimes understood wirth's work better than he did himself)
What would new leadership really do? Make a T-150?
you are pointing out I did a poor job of distinguishing the material itself and the current pedagogy surrounding it.

I’m skeptical of the latter, not the former, if that helps clarify my position.
Both can be true. If you have cars coming from all directions that can easily merge with each other, it makes sense that throughput would also be increased since the other 3 directions don't need to stop to make a left turn from any direction.

Safety might be factor number 1, but a roundabout will sustain higher traffic loads than a traffic light, assuming that all directions are being fed with equal amounts of vehicles. For this reason, a lot of arterial roads in NL still use traffic lights because they prioritize traffic moving in a single dimension (x or y, but not both). The smaller intersecting roads need to wait on the light during rush hour since the priority is traffic on the larger road.

When two roads of a similar size/traffic mix, a roundabout can be used to facilitate changing directions. Here is an example near Eindhoven in the south part of the country: https://maps.app.goo.gl/SYMnP9jwNEj1ytx2A

There's also a fairly large roundabout about 1-2km north of that intersection if you're interested. It's increased size provides more throughput and slows down drivers coming from the highway and allows a smooth transition down to the lower speed allowed within the city limits.
They were able to stop Tesla from sending vehicle registrations in the mail. That is very powerful control of economy, if not speech.
I'm actually saying the opposite.

I'm saying instead of that (boom, etc) we should just make another commercial airplane company that makes regular planes, safely, in a normal way.

You and I are agreeing...
Over the year yes, but BYD outsold Tesla in Q4 (pure BEV). That's what's been doing the news rounds this week.
> Cambodia the genocide would have been prevented

It's not like the US or the UN were particularly bothered by mass massacres of civilians in South Korea, so it's doubtful that really was a significant concern. At the time, the non-communist regimes they were propping up in Korea or Vietnam were hardly any less brutal than their communist opponents as far as human rights are concerned (of course I'm not talking about the Khmer Rouge).

> It’s not actually clear that the US did support the Khmer Rouge

Well they together with China did support them in the UN at least. Which effectively was an endorsement of the genocide.

> intervention against communism in both Vietnam

Geopolitically it would have made perfect sense for the US to back the reunification of Vietnam under a socialist/moderately communist regime. The USSR had limited ability to project power in the region (unlike in Korea) and Vietnam would've certainly sided with the US instead instead of China despite the ideological differences.

Instead the US choose to back France in their desperate and and entirely pointless colonial war. After that.. well they had no choice.

> and would have been better served with a consistent anticommunist foreign policy at almost any point in history.

What do you think US could've done different in Vietnam (besides directly invading the north)? Not a rhetorical question, I'm genuinely curious because to me that was seemed pretty hopeless.
Cool car idea, but I wish someone would sit down with them to come up with a new model name. “YangWang” doesn’t sound like something I’d want to tall people I own.

If I could afford one, that is.
For me the A380 is the most comfortable. I'm slightly scared of flying, and turbulence making the entire plane jump around makes it that much worse. I'm only speculating, but I think it might be the sheer bulk of the A380 making it the smoothest rides I've ever been on.
A softer interpretation is possible. "*" should mean that the dependency cannot unpublish all packages and must have at least one version available.
What is even weirder to me is how could you be key manufacturer, go bankrupt, cause forcing a merger, then being promoted to Boeing to 'carry on!' ...
What? If left wheels are in reverse and right wheels in forward then the treads are wearing sideways against the rotation!

> it's more economically viable to run a plane building company whose planes accidentally falls out of the sky?

Business school may say if your product never fails perhaps you are overspending on it and some known small failure rate is acceptable to control costs to have better profits. Boeing leadership may have took that logic and applied it to airplanes.
There is a world of difference between slow study and a severe brain impairment that blocks the ability to function normally in the world. For example perhaps there is a minor focus or motivation issue where you would rather be doing something else and so find the studying less of a priority. A person with severe ADHD may forget what they were doing while they are actively engaged doing it. Imagine driving a car and your mind drifts and you begin to focus on something at the side of the road now completely unaware of what is in front of you as you continue driving forward without reservation. A person who struggles to study, on the otherwise, does not suddenly become unaware they are holding an open book in front of their face.

If you are concerned that you might have ADHD I recommend an evaluation by general physician.
> Oh, you're distracted by the stack traces

Well, there is nothing else. Capturing the stack in a value along with some metadata is all that there is to an exception. Were you wanting me to say something about the weather?

> It does not matter what's the _cause_ of a failure

Except when it does. Let's say the failure is that the user is a child when your requirements demand that they are an adult. age < 18, which produces an error state, doesn't create, let alone raise an exception. Hilariously, you have to resort to Go-style error handling:

if (age < 18) {
// Do something with the failure.
// Are we writing Go now? I thought this was Java.
}

> It's the job of the dev to ensure that the process can never leave a defined state.

If the developer ensures that the process doesn't leave a defined state, then this discussion is moot. You will never encounter an exception. Exceptions are raised when the process enters an undefined state.
Musk Derangement Syndrome on the first comment about a different car company making a very interesting product. I also saw this in comments in articles about Boeing and Toyota this week.

Is there a browser mod to hide comments like this? Bonus points if it hides the snide demoralization-style comments that have started infesting HN too ("Oh you are a software engineer? Let me tell you why you are ignorant without knowing anything about you")
Norquist is so flipping ridiculous.
787 program:

- designed to outsource most manufacturing to the lowest bidder, many program management problems, overruns and delays

- to bust unions new factory was created in South Carolina and this has very poor QC, there are rumors that a certain large middle eastern airline refuses to accept any planes assembled there

737 program:

- they decided that they are not going to do a clean sheet 737NG and use the existing platform to put on new engines and do other modernization. They did it the cheap way and tried to paper over problems in software to make sure that their biggest customers would not need to send their pilots through extra training. Killed hundreds already.
Enjoyed playing a friend's copy of Ultima 1 so much, I bought Ultima 2 for my Mac and played it through in black and white --- which was quite the contrast to the full-colour cloth map (which I really wish I still had).
I am hoping this gives publishers an important role of becoming the quality gatekeeper. The publisher has the relationship with the writer and ensures a certain level of quality. If a writer keeps coming up with nonsense (AI or not), they’ll cut ties. For me as someone who reads about 3-4 books a year, I don’t see an issue with this. It sucks for this indie market, but even before AI, someone had to plough through the shit.
Switch to a "softer" interpretation of "*" that rather than blocking unpublishing of every version, allows unpublishing as long as one version is still available.
There's a difference between features that need to be implemented as part of the engine such as Web Workers and those that can be implemented as a library, such as sorting; the latter can be shared between implementations much easier.
In all likelihood this is someone burning their BTC. Proof of burn can be used to convert funds, so this money may not be lost, although I don't think any other cryptocurrency uses that burn address. Technically someone may have the key for that address, and could spend those funds, but that's widely doubted.

When we reduce complicated problems down to inaccurate trivial ones by stripping out important details and nuance, we end up with a caricature of the original - one that easily devolves into a to strawman argument to serve someone’s point. This new representation masquerading as the original can carry the same weight as the one it was based off of.
It doesn't need to be "efficient" in terms of cost, that doesn't really matter. What matters much more is whether it is seen and being effective and fair in collection of taxes & enforcement of violators.
I like viewing most CSVs in vim. It can be a little annoying when the columns don’t line up well. Often I’ll replace all the commas with a tab, and then set the tab width to some very high value to make it all line up.

Of course, there exist plenty of CSV files that don’t follow any particular standard, so the trick doesn’t always work (if there are tabs in the data, if there’s some very wide field, or if there’s a comma in the data). Works good enough for the files I have, though.
You have no goddman clue what you’re saying.
The jetbrains one feels so much worse in my experience.
Umm, no we didn’t. We spent less as a percentage of GDP. But total spending barely shrank by the late 90’s. We hadn’t even started to shift spending away from piloted jets by then either.

Yes

In New Zealand where I live most people do not file at all. Tax is all "payroll tax" and sales tax

If you honestly admit you believe and respect crypto shills, I'll honestly admit I believe you still do, but you're still an exception, thanks to Molly White and people like her and Dan Olson and Stephen Findeisen and Chris Natsuume, who seem to irritate you so much by simply educating people about the truth about crypto shills and scams and NFTs and Web3.

Exactly, and unless you are on private property or BLM land you are also generally not supposed to be driving off the trails or roads. So there isn't much use for this other than on private property or on BLM land.
At a guess: we have all been watching blockchain stuff evolve for 15 years at this point, we understand exactly how it works and what it does and we don't like it.
You could also self sign - It's going to be grating for users, but your still afforded the protections against any hop on the path.

Tesla doesn't have a huge backlog of vehicles to service and recall nor a ton of expensive lawsuits active, though they're getting there.

And they're not making any $20k car which is how they reach 20 million cars. Guess what the profit per car for those is.
I've been following this story for a bit. I'm traveling to Mexico soon and the last leg is on a 737 MAX 9. I'm looking into contacting Aeromexico to see about changing flights to a different airplane.
I almost couldn’t believe this statement so I looked it up. Sure enough you’re correct. As a factor of GDP, it dropped by about half.

Incidentally, however, as a factor of gdp, it had gone down 50% since the Korean War before that too.

I think all this means is that military spending isn’t outpacing gdp growth (a good thing) rather than we’re actually cutting spending.
Yes, because the first thing I think of is the Facehugger from Alien.
I thought calling it autopilot was an understatement. All auto pilot does on an airplane is keep the plane flying in a straight line. Cruise controls on modern cars slow down and can keep a lane. It’s telling that Tesla doesn’t call it’s FSD “autopilot”, using the term instead for modern cruise control features that most other higher end new cars have.
Switch to satellite view, zoom into some red train dot and you can actually see the train there, running on the tracks. Pretty neat trick!
One thing you can do is sandbox your browser with AppArmor and/or Firejail to limit the fallout.
Because tabs are flexible space, you can render them really wide in most text editors, wide enough that all the columns line up. But it is a hacky solution!
Yeah I wonder the same question about UK taxes. If you self-assess they'll still say "actually we calculated your tax and got this number so you owe us £X".

The vast majority of people don't need to file taxes but even then it somehow still comes out wrong and you occasionally get a refund.
Because browser engines need to be all able to run the exact same applications (web pages) in exactly the same way. They are pretty straightforward to judge on that single metric.

Game engines run only their own games, each has its own specializations and choices, and they have and need zero compatibility with each other.

Yeah, I'm poking fun at the modern US engineering model.

Actually fixing the problem is much harder. It probably goes something like aggressively fire everyone at Boeing who looks vaguely associated with management and reconstitute it as a division of some company that seems to know how to build things that work.
