It’s probably because it isn’t laggy or cluttered for many of us. I do think its usefulness depends a lot on which tools you’re working with and what sort of VSC plugins are available for them.

One or the things we really like about VSC is how “easy” you can “enforce” opinionated coding styles and tool setups through sharing the .vscode configurations directly in your repositories. We’re not too fascist about it. The opinions are semi-democratically decided and you’re free to override them to some degree. But because our deployment pipelines are in fact fascists, it’s very helpful to have those “global” settings at times. Like when we’re onboarding new developers, or when we’re using external consultants. Because it lets anyone just jump in and build code the way everyone else does.

Now, from the sound of things getting your VSC groove on with Ruby isn’t as easy as it is with something like Typescript. Which leads me back to the thing about tooling. Because VSC is certainly better for some things. Even something like C# which is getting good in VSC, is still “better” in VS. You’re probably very likely to use VSC for C# as VS sort of sucks, in our team only one person is still clinging on to VS as an example, but it all comes down to support.

Now, my VSC isn’t slow or laggy, but it can be. I have a couple of extensions that are just horrible for performance, but I tend to turn them off any time I’m not using them to avoid this. Similarly you’re going to need to know your way around the settings to get it to really fit your needs and you’re probably not going to have a good time if you sort of “google” configure your VSC because many of the guides are absolute trash. As it is with many things, it’s very hard to tell the trash from the gold, so the only way will often involve reading the manual. You can get away with not doing that for most usage with common languages, but for power use you’re eventually likely to have to dig into Microsoft’s horrible documentation.

Well, yeah: the lack of motivation is the problem. But here's the thing: just like a depressed person can't just "snap out of it", someone with ADHD cannot just make themselves get the motivation. Why? Because we can't remember that we need to. ADHD is primarily a working memory impairment.

All brains have an autopilot mode, and an ADHD brain on autopilot thinks thousands of thoughts at once. When I am not medicated I can be cooking, having an imaginary conversation about politics, planning the weekend, and listening to a song playing in my head - all at the same time, and doing all of the above badly. When I am medicated I do the same thing, but after 10 or so minutes a thought pops into my head: hey, you are distracted, focus! Without meds this thought may take an hour or two to arrive.

A deadline seems to raise the baseline of executive brain activity for a similar effect to the medication, but it's not guaranteed. Now try explaining to a boss who doesn't believe that ADHD is a thing why your performance is inconsistent. Don't you care about deadlines? I do, but I can forget that a deadline is a thing that exists in this universe.

OK, you'll say, just build routines. Discipline. Of course - I couldn't survive without routines. The trouble is: I forget I have a routine when my brain is in that fuzzy state. I can get to work, not know what my tasks are for the day, and start daydreaming. Why not just look at JIRA? Because in that state I don't remember that such as thing as JIRA exists in this universe. I actually have an alarm in my phone that tells me to check JIRA around the time I get to the office. I rarely forget, but when I do - the failure is epic.

HN has a pretty negative view of Ruby/Rails overall, but I wouldn't let that deter you. Every language/framework has its downsides; If you're enjoying Ruby/Rails then I'd say keep going!

It's brilliant for side-projects and smaller teams; At 50+ devs working in the same Rails codebase, it can start to get pretty chaotic which is potentially where a lot of the HN-negativity comes from.

Cloudron 7.6 Released
Fork performance is a much more severe problem on Windows (WSL1, MSYS2, etc.) than Linux, so I'm not claiming you'll personally run into it per se, but it can affect users of some scripts.

But: performance was just one of the problems I cited. I gave you more than that -- one was a correctness reason (which you do care about) and had nothing to do with performance. And, again, incorrect buffering (which can make the script literally unusable in some cases) was just one example. I've seen needless redirection interfere with Ctrl+C handling too, though I don't recall the exact example. Oh, and there's terminal coloring and ANSI escape processing too, which programs detect differently. Point is, being unable to see the end of the pipe can definitely cause an unnecessary mess in some cases.

As for readability - honestly, part of the reason you find it less readable is that you're missing something else. Namely, this:

sed -e 's/pattern/replacement/g' -e 's/reallybigolhonkinpattern/other-replacement/g' wrongfile.conf | tr... | while read line; do...

should really have been:

sed -e 's/pattern/replacement/g' -e 's/reallybigolhonkinpattern/other-replacement/g' -- wrongfile.conf | tr... | while read line; do...

which is in fact both more correct (at least when the file name isn't hard-coded, which is the common case in shell scripts) and more readable than your example; you can immediately spot where the file name is. The difference between that and cat "$blah" | sed ... is very minor at that point (and in fact you should be doing cat -- "$blah" as well...); anybody reading a command like sed without a pipe input knows to look for an input argument. The important point regarding readability here is, it's not like the code gets overly tricky if you write it one way vs. another way. It's just a matter of spending 1-2 extra seconds glancing over. So it's very much a minor thing to be prioritizing above everything else. (If the logic became harder to reason about, that'd be a different story, and it'd put more weight on the readability aspect.)

Amid Layoffs, Google Hikes Employee's Salary by 300% to Retain Him
Sadly I haven’t been able to write any production Go for a few years now after switching companies. However, I got bit by the seemingly innocent _platform.go “feature”. I had a file that organized a bunch of windows for a cross platform GUI app. Well it turns out something like file_windows.go only compiles on windows. Our CI environment was compiling all the code but suddenly all platforms except windows started failing.

Was funny when it was diagnosed but not so funny for the time where I was deeply confused why things broke.

This is kindof an odd statement because the transformer is not the most generic neural net. It's the result of many levels of improvements in architecture over older designs. The bitter lesson is methods that can scale well with compute win (alpha/beta beats heuristics alone, neural network beats alpha/beta), not that the most obvious and generic approach eventually wins. Given the context-length problems with transformers I think it's fair to say they have scaling problems.
There’s probably a piece missing in the article’s simplified explanation, but if corrosion were in fact “instant” as claimed, nothing should help, as the damage would already be done. Probably it’s not really instant, just very fast, and displacing the water with alcohol is the quickest way to get it out before it can do even more damage.

> Concern about the justness of an action the government is taking is not an "emotional strawman";

It is clearly a very obvious emotional strawman. It's not about fairness otherwise your complain would be about how all student debt should be forgiven. It is not. Also, if you cared about fairness in how governments treated people it would be expected that you'd care about citizens having to carry government-mandated debt for decades while struggling to pay it off. But apparently that concern never crossed your mind.

OP's complain was very explicitly how this policy could lead people to vote for a candidate. There is no way around it. This blend of criticism is not about fairness, the economy, the role of government, even education policies. It's about political pettiness following a logic of cutting the nose to spite the face. It's the same logic that led a political party to throw out the window the best border deal in generations just because a prospective candidate was concerned it would make the incumbent look good.

Gusto adopted it when I was there (I left at the end of 2022). Like other comments, it's a bit polarizing but I found it to be useful when working in large codebases because you one didn't have to reason about return types and could just read them from function signatures.

Getting it to play nicely with Rails and other gems that did metaprogramming magic was a constant pain in the butt though.
The problem is that Youtube severely nerfed their search (ironic given that Google still pretends it's a search company).

Maybe this is just a fundamental problem of bundling. It makes more sense for lower value content but less sense for higher value content.

In the pilot episode, which aired March 4, 2001 (exactly six months and one week prior to the September 11 attacks[5]), rogue members of the U.S. government remotely hijack an airliner flying to Boston, planning to crash it into the World Trade Center, and let anti-American terrorist groups take credit, to gain support for a profitable new war following the Cold War. The heroes ultimately override the controls, foiling the plot.

In "What you get with Atuin" the first(!) point is "Sync your shell history to all of your machines, wherever they are". That obviously cannot work with a local SQLite. Without syncing, this is a better ctrl+r, which I won't disagree is nice, but not the real point of this software. If the page says this is "trusted" by pretty much all major software companies, I would assume this includes syncing, which is the main feature.

Also, even the possibility that the software would send this to the outside would make this impossible to use at my company, and I don't think we are overly strict in that sense here.

It's a good thing to call out. The short version of this is that nuclear proponents are a bit hand wavy on this topic and that there is no good plan for this; nor any economical modeling worth talking about.

But there's no such thing as nuclear power deployed on an insecure location. At best you have nuclear plants on very remote or hard to reach sites where the security is a bit minimal. But essentially all existing nuclear is the subject of intense and costly security. Under current non proliferation treaties, that's neither optional nor likely to change any time soon.

Logically that means co-locating small nuclear plants on larger sites is the most cost effective way to secure them. That's something people have speculated about. The most suitable locations for that would be existing nuclear plants and decommissioned coal plants. Of course if you do that, you need to compare the efficiency of having lots of small reactors in one place and compare it to having 1 big reactor in the same place. Big reactors tend to be more efficient.

The notion that you can just fedex these things to wherever, plop them down and then check back in 30 years is a bit naive. That's not how it works in the real world. People deploying these things are going to be on the spot for securing them at a non zero cost. 24x7 for life time of the reactor and the waste.

Total cost of ownership is not limited to production and shipping (also needs security) but also has to include inspections, day to day operations, site security, waste disposal, handling, and security. (though that is commonly excluded and off-loaded on future generations of course), etc.

If you exclude all those things the cost per kwh looks more rosy than it is. The real cost is something most nuclear proponents avoid talking about simply because it generally looks pretty bad. But somebody still has to pay for that.
