I've been using Ledger for years now and with thousands of entries a year. I track investments, income, expenses, and budgeting. For mobile entry, I keep my ledger file on Dropbox and use the Drafts app and TextExpander on my iPhone to quickly append properly formatted ledger entries to the file from my phone, the moment the expense occurs. Every two to four weeks, I spend 10 minutes and use ledger-mode in Emacs to reconcile accounts with online bank / credit card transactions. It works really well and I love the flexibility and long-term portability of keeping my ledger in plain-text.
Can hledger be run in a Haskell repl? That sounds way more useful than a command line terminal. (Otherwise I'm not sure why it matters whether it was written in Haskell?)
I discovered that album in 1999 (via Hansi's "Demons and Wizards" project with Iced Earth), and it's one of the few metal albums I still listen to regularly 25 years later. (It really helps if you've read some of the Silmarillion, of course.) Hard to pick a favorite track since it's so consistently excellent, but maybe "The Curse of Feanor" gets the most play.

Also, attending a BG concert at the old Graceland in Seattle back in 2004 or so and singing along to "The Bard's Song" with a few hundred other fans who knew all the words was definitely a peak geek moment.
You're losing the point. It's not outrage at the amount they are paid. It's outrage at the Shirky Principle-- they are incentivized to keep the homelessness problem going and growing.
Thanks again to the KiCad team. I know a few of them personally and every person has been nothing but helpful.
Our most recent project was started in KiCad 5 and it shames me to admit that there have been 3 KiCad releases since we started and we are now just getting finished (with the first board). [1]

I personally use the #kicad@liberachat IRC channel whenever I need help (when a web search doesn't find the info). It is always a great place to get help or find out the status of the next release.

Again...much thanks to the KiCad team. The work you are doing does not go unnoticed. Now...if we can just get FreeCAD the same amount of development maybe we can strip away a bit of the pain in switching from the other mainstream CAD software.

> How many people have internalized every part of SOLID such that they can immediately start critiquing one of the items?

There was a post here the other day (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39460829) where someone was giving advice about interviewing at Amazon and knowing their "sixteen principles" because "they're not just words, here more than anywhere we live and breathe them". He even went on to talk about how they specifically used them all in interviewers, and "bar raiser" interviewers were chosen for their "deep and profound" understanding of them all (there was more than a slight narcissism and smug superiority in the article, if you ask me).

My thoughts were: "Quick, you work at Amazon. Name all sixteen principles that you live and breathe every day. That people are expected to have a deep and profound understanding of."

(My other favorite quote in that article: "I have certainly referenced Amazon's Principles when discussing parenting techniques".

Yeah, sorry, when I said "entire database" I was handwaving over "the entire database of posts relevant to them". The Merkle tree structure is the root of the scaling issues which is why I think it's fair to describe it as "bitcoin-like" and it serves as an intuition pump for people to understand why it was so difficult to use on mobile, regardless of whether it was actually quite as bad as Bitcoin or not.
If science can’t figure out the causes of the so-called obesity epidemic, even the best aspirational interventions won’t help. Ancel Keys’ tirade against saturated fat turned out to be pseudo-science, but it didn’t make the population instantly larger.

Something happened in the late 1970’s, and the population’s weight on the scales started ticking up around 1978-1980 [0]. All the interventions since then haven’t helped. If we can figure out what that 1970’s mistake was, and what it was that used to protect us from the food industry’s pseudo-science, we can begin to correct course.

Very interesting. Might help very much with "where did the time go?". I'll try to give it a shot, remembering every week.
As a developer, I’m not at all surprised, I suspect it’s negative from almost all points of view except at the district or city or state level where they pat themselves on the back for bringing technology into classrooms via spending some money, what little money they have, on tech that they don’t use and don’t understand. I don’t even have that much experience with it, but I’ve tried making educational software, in the form of multi-user whiteboards teachers could use for their classes. The people approving purchasing decisions don’t use the software, and don’t ask teachers or students about the experience or value of the software. The insane sales cycles are a never-ending nightmare of requirements and delays, far beyond the reasonable concerns about kids & privacy. After years of run-arounds, we gave up trying to use any official channels and just let teachers use the software free.

As a parent, the experience was also very negative. My kids hated almost everything the school forced them to use, because the software was terrible compared to non-educational software. Teachers didn’t get any training on the software, and didn’t have the resources or time to use it effectively. Hardware was always outdated or supremely cheap and crappy. Possible the single worst software experience was the automated essay grading software. It was beyond broken, actively harmful, and it literally didn’t work. I came home from work one day and my oldest kid was in tears and my wife at her wits end trying to finish a homework assignment to write a short concise 2 paragraph essay on a specific topic and achieve an arbitrary 90% score or whatever within 10 tries, and they’d used up 8 of them and scores were going down each time. This software isn’t even supposed to be used unsupervised for grading, but the teachers didn’t seem to understand, and weren’t following recommendations. I figured out quickly the software doesn’t understand english and would score higher if you fed it more words, regardless of their quality or relevance - the polar opposite of the assignment’s goal. So I gave it a wikipedia article on why people shouldn’t use software grading robots, which scored 100%, and then scheduled a meeting with the teacher, who proceeded to complain about the software and told me she didn’t have a choice because it was district rules and a state software contract.
Nice example, but one exception doesn’t disprove a trend.
I still don’t fully understand. Would there be unwanted gasses coming out? Could we not burn the specific plastics where it’s economically worth it for electric generation? I don’t know the full science so my assumptions might be wrong but I wonder how much worse it is compared to coal and natty gas plants?

If you read the OP you will find a link to Google statement where Google officially admits they did this intentionally. They tried to shoot an arrow, and they "missed the mark", oops. They're not sorry for shooting the arrow, they are sorry for missing the mark.

Nobody who worked on facial recognition that failed to recognize black people, nobody in that team was intentionally trying to fail on black people. They didn't try to shoot an arrow, although they accidentally shot one in their own leg.

That much is true, since college costs have increased dramatically since Thiel attended. If he cared about that, maybe he should offer to pay for people's student loan debt or finance some scholarships. Or promote government-paid higher education for all, like with pre-college education.

Inability to regularly collect trash is the failure mode we're concerned about.
> I had no idea the compiler needed external tooling, I thought it was self sufficient.

It used to be self-sufficient. But, we had to give up on our linker because we didn't have the staff to keep a linker up to date, and decided to stop chasing windmills and just use what was available. ImportC, in order to work, needs a preprocessor. We do have our own Standard compliant preprocessor, but it had a major problem. All the C preprocessors predefine a ton of macros (cpp predefines up to 400 macros). Different combinations of compiler switches turn on or off those predefines in poorly and usually undocumented ways. It differs from preprocessor to preprocessor, and was a hopeless nightmare.

So, ImportC uses the C preprocessor of the associated C compiler, and that works like a champ. The downside is you'll need to have that preprocessor installed and on the path.
Who do you listen to speaking on the subject? It is brought up constantly. You can have a documentary on TV about climate change without bringing up Venus as a cautionary tale, for example. People who concern themselves with climate change genuinely think it will lead to mass human die offs, in my experience.

It doesn't invalidate that he created Bitcoin, but what he wrote over the years sounds much more like a devoted hobbyist who was far from extremely wealthy, for example taking a public bus to UC Santa Barbara to do his research [1]. Once afflicted with ALS, he became an avid ALS fundraiser. For someone in 2014 with 1,000,000+ BTC @ ~$500 per, and trying to be anonymous, I doubt whoever Satoshi is would have taken the path that Hal did.

Isn’t that the same thing?
This is extremely good news.

MapLibre is an awesome project, but it has huge problems with 3D terrain. In my opinion the entire 3D "stack" needs to be completely rewritten in order to properly support terrain, because navigation panning/zooming is badly broken, where the devil is in the detail. At a first glance all seems OK, but when you really use it, you'll notice that it's pure chaos which leads to errors in navigation. Also overlaying images over terrain is broken. It's always terrain what causes the problem.

In 2D it's rock solid.
Paper recycling was worth it when it was mostly newsprint. Now it's mostly packaging so is too contaminated.
A fine reason, I just thought you had a niche need prompting you to do it like this.
that's musk approach, which is double edged sword

interesting that bill joy did use a similar way, but i assume that an incomplete text editor is a lot less critical than a failing compiler :)
I mean that’s kinda the point right? Maintaining the power structure, keeping them in their place. “Making them miserable” is more or less the same thing, if by making them miserable you mean making them feel subordinate and powerless. But again, from the boss’s point of view that’s a positive.

I think tech people vastly overstate how much Apple devices are status symbols to the average consumer.

Most non tech adults I know buy them as low effort ie just works devices. The perception isn’t that they are great just that the other options are worse. It’s a combination of useful defaults, reasonable UI, and few gotchas like a short lifespan or poor battery life. Most of them had multiple phones before the iPhone, but ran into various issues.
vcpkg is well on its way to becoming the de facto standard, with support for just about every major platform out there.

But FetchContent / ExternalProject in CMake is super convenient and works really well if you just have a couple simple dependencies.
The convoluted framings come from people who want to actually persuade those who don't already agree with them. If you want someone to listen to you you have to first meet them where they are, not because you're worried about offense but because you want them to change their mind more than you want to state "bare, basic truth".

The people behind Gemini's "diversity" sincerely believe they're doing the right thing. Calling them racist doesn't help change their mind, it just gets you filed under "reactionary" and ignored. This piece takes a more effective approach by saying "I'm with you, I think you want to do the right thing, but here's why what you're doing is actually counterproductive".

It's an effective rhetorical strategy for the target audience, you're just not that audience because you already see the problem.

> "I want a model that produces racially diverse images of people, but I didn't test it in racially homogenous historical contexts"

You are again misrepresenting the OP. If you go actually read the OP you will find it very clearly describes Google's initial steps towards fixing the problem, which was: double down on race-swapping in historical contexts. The OP very clearly (and correctly) argues that this is not the action of a person who goes "oops forgot to test in this context" but is rather the action of a person who very intentionally wanted the image generator to behave this way in this context.

Been using ledger and hledger for about four years, love them dearly. I find ledger + Emacs ledger-mode the most convenient for daily use. Hledger has a somewhat nicer way of formatting reports on the CLI, making it useful for creating ad-hoc reports and digging into your data.
> the politician then notes that this would also mean that everyone stops paying for their current health insurance - and thus quite a lot cheaper.

Unfortunately, not so simple:

1) Health insurance is already required to pay out at least 90% of your contributions, so even a hypothetically perfectly efficient replacement could only eliminate 10% of costs, all things equal.

2) The government run system would realistically be expensive to run, like any program covering all Americans. Many of those private insurance costs would just be transferred to a government-run operation. In theory it should be more efficient to have single payer, but it would also be extremely expensive in the short term to build and overhaul the system.

3) The actual cost savings wouldn’t come from operational efficiency (not the government’s strongest ability) but from forcing prices down because nobody would have any choice but to accept the government insurance. They were going to drive costs down by forcing doctors and hospitals to take lower payments and, as unpopular as it is to say, by limiting the types and amounts of treatments available to people.
> Have a scale or a topic carveout

This (topic) is a sign your framework is flawed. Unless there is a fabulous reason to believe this is the sole legitimate carve-out.
But actually people predicted this positive effect of warming long ago. I believe the specific prediction was that global food production would increase as warming + co2 enrichment increased production in politically and economically stable and responsible nations (at the expense of... Less stable, less responsible nations). You can argue if the aggregate measure of production is more or less important than the distribution, but that prediction was made nonetheless.
There are effectively no limits to natural resources, as accessible resources are a function of technology and market price. And the solar system is vast.

Get out of the Malthusian thinking trap.
I'm gonna have to play advocate here for The Institution over The Individual. The jobs you mentioned (pest control, basic car maintenance) exist because a lot of people can't be bothered to learn how to do it properly.

(Or, to put it more cynically: a lot of people are idiots. Like, a lot. Cue the quote about the average man and the thought that half of humanity is dumber than that...)

A lot of things can go wrong with the $10 spray you bought from Home Depot. You could end up spraying it where you're not supposed to and at best you end up poisoned in the ICU, at worst you contaminate your area's water supply. You could spray it on a lazy Saturday afternoon but you forgot about your dog who loves to lick the floor; at best you end up with a very expensive vet bill, at worst your dog then licks your kids in the face and you end up with a dead dog and a dead kid.

To be clear, I'm not saying your gut feeling is wrong; I'd probably do the same, honestly. But it most certainly doesn't apply to everyone.

Further, oil and filter changes might be super easy, barely an inconvenience but you could end up not resealing and tightening a valve or a nut enough and the worst time to find that out is when you're doing 100KPH on a highway. Don't even get me started about people who think they could save money by using olive oil where they are supposed to use a specific type of coating grease or lubricant; after all, they buy olive oil from the grocery once every month so, as a car maintenance item, it's "basically free".

These people are not only a danger to themselves. They are a danger to everyone they share a road (or a residential area) with.

Of course, having an industry around these tasks doesn't eliminate the possibility of these dumb outcomes but having "professionals" who are have read the fabulous manual and are regulated put them head and shoulders above J. Handyman Smith when doing said job. Emphasis on regulated, we give that far less credit than it deserves. You might have also read the fabulous manual but if you are not regulated, not beholden to a specific standard or process, how do I even check you didn't cut corners? If you mess up somewhere, how can you and everyone else even begin to assess the magnitude of your fuck-up and thereby respond appropriately?
> Of course it wasn't or they wouldn't have released such a ridiculous embarrassing product!

Then please do explain why their first reaction was to double down on "diversity" in historical contexts, before eventually retreating?
It’s a plug door, you can’t open it at altitude.

Also, throwing debris into the engines would just result in an emergency landing.

The TSA is ridiculous and there isn’t a need to try to contrive examples to justify what they could prevent outside of hijacking.

If their goal was to prevent killing just a plane load of people, they would have to setup perimeters far around the airport to prevent people with a 50 caliber rifle from shooting up the cockpit during takeoff roll.

They would also need to block private air access to the airport because someone could just drive a truck of explosives underneath a plane load of people taxiing.

Put differently, it their job was just mass casualty prevention in transit caused by other people, they would need to be near every bus station, controlling road access near buses, guarding all railroad tracks with passenger routes, etc.
