The present-day, mainstream, proprietary chat systems are open to anyone to join and chat with anyone.

Most of whatever restrictions they have are necessitated by spam. Allowing new members to immediately post unlimited amounts of material into any chat room or any other member's inbox is a bad idea, even in an open-source, federated chat system.

I haven’t had an interview that mattered in 18 years, so I’m not much help there. Once you find something, make sure to take the time to learn about how things work inside the company and what the real issues are before you try to go changing everything. A lot of people show up and start trying to prove their worth through change right out of the gate and make a mess of everything and erode any trust existing employees may have had. Also, expect things will take longer than you’re used to, especially if you’re at a big company. There will be a lot of systems and politics to deal with. This slows everything down and can be frustrating for a lot of people.
I don't think most people who drink raw milk are dirty or hippies and I don't hate people who are dirty or hippies and I never said anything that even remotely implies that. I have no idea where the fuck that came from.

Communicable fatal diseases are objectively scary. Tuberculosis is a communicable potentially fatal disease. You probably won't spread your e.coli. that you got from your undercooked hamburger by coughing on them, but you can spread your tuberculosis that way. These risks should thus be taken a lot more seriously and the statistics become more difficult.

I frankly do not give a shit if all you ever drink is raw milk in regards to disease that get you sick, use it to replace water, bathe in it for all I care, far be it for me to tell you how to live your life, but infectious airborne diseases are a different story to me.

I know all of this comes down to calculated risk, you can't get anything involving food down to zero risk and I never asserted as such, so fundamentally everything in regards to food comes down to "which risks do we want society to put up with?".

The reason I keep fixating on the tuberculosis point is that is a particularly nasty disease and I don't know the actual number of cases we should be willing to tolerate as a society, and AFAIK there's no TB vaccine.
The way I typically handle that is via native terminal-app tabbing. Tab 1: local tmux session, tab 2: remote tmux session. (My normal workflow doesn't go beyond 2 systems, 3 in an edge case.) You don't need much support from the terminal to do it this way; it works in gnome-terminal on Linux and iTerm2 on Mac, and probably also macOS's built-in native terminal. You just need an app-level shortcut to go forward/back between tabs, then tmux's shortcuts for navigation within the system.

(I don't use iTerm2's native tmux integration, so any poor interactions with that when I'm on Mac aren't a concern, and when I'm on Linux gnome-terminal has just as much utility for me.)
It's not exactly alpha, it's quite stable, but it still misses some things that are planned to get implemented at a future time.
H200 1979 TFLOPS includes sparsity, real one is twice smaller. So basically it’s on par performance to H200.

My comment is not saying "contraceptives = bad", just commenting on the irony of OP saying "next generations" having even more reproductive freedom when many countries are below replacement levels of fertility even before new techniques like male contraceptives.

What a weird way to describe it. It sounds more like an alternative to gnu screen [1] to me. Comparing either of those to i3 seems like a category error to me.

You've made some interesting points, which are debatable, for sure. But you've failed to address the question being asked about "verifiability".
If your language has modules, like in the syntax and semantics, and you're still requiring external tools to hunt down dependencies, your module system must somehow be a failure.

The idea behind modules is that since they are part of the language, the compiler for the language understands modules and follows the dependencies. All module-related tooling, like incremental builds, is hooked through the compiler. You don't use make or external dependency generators.

If someone does need a dependency generator for whatever reason, the compiler has to provide that function. You give the compiler the proper option to spit out dependencies, point it at the root module of the program, and let it do its thing.
But does it work on wet rope?
But if I hibernate my computer twice a day, once to take it to work and once to bring it home, then twice a day my SSH connection will be killed due to hibernation (or even if I didn't hibernate it, it would be killed during network disconnection), meaning this setup is only good if everything I do fits into a single eight-hour workday, or if I work exclusively over a cellular connection with transparent network migration and never put my computer to sleep. Simpler to just have a program running on the server that I can attach to.

Ask HN: How have you used a printer in your home or office?
I haven't owned an inkjet or laser printer in over 10 years.

I can think of a few mundane things I could print on occasion (notes, websites, pictures), and laser printers are temptingly cheap.

How have you used a printer in your home or office?

Is there a particular usage that is valuable to you which you might recommend to others?
I would soften this to always consider that possibility. The probability that something is just wrong, or the requirements have evolved in a way that makes it wrong, is probably not that different than the probability the original author had a very strong reason for doing something a certain way and that really did survive the test of time. Considering everything preexisting to be perfect is overly conservative and almost certainly wrong in most real world software engineering scenarios. The history of software engineering is full of examples of things that got replaced with much better things because the original was just not good enough.
Were still talking about it because the movie very effectively sold a lie.

Heat pumps are becoming more common but almost every home or apartment I have lived in used Natural gas for heating and maybe a wall mounted or central A/C unit.

Some homes in Detroit don't quite have modern HVAC ducting, instead using 'water circulated' heating. Theoretically they can 'cool' but IDK if I remember seeing that in a commercial/municipal building/school or if that was just a fever dream. That said, some buildings will use a 'shared steam' system (My college had Shared Steam for all the class buildings, IIRC lots of buildings in downtown Detroit have one.)

But those examples are in a specific part of the rust belt.

Up in the far NE (i.e. Maine, NH, etc) the remote areas use 'heating oil' and that may be harder to change; putting NG lines in would be unprofitable, and when the power goes out a heat pump is going to be, relatively, larger capacity drain than a blower on whatever's burning the heating oil. Only way to mitigate that would be an even larger generator, or an even larger bank of batteries.

Which is a long way of saying, 'it depends'. And Heat pumps are 'relatively new' commercially. People won't be driven to replace until the cost of a repair vs cost of a new heat pump unit 'makes sense' financially (i.e. it's possible just getting a heat pump in may be 'cheaper' than whatever repair is needed within a certain timeframe... but to make the determination, someone first has to bother to do the math.)

Because raw milk shouldn't be a controlled substance like cocaine.
What, pray tell, is the real issue?

Fast food serves too much food? Just eat less. Its an absolutely absurd premise.
yes, it does.

I love tmux and hate the default hotkey
Why wouldn’t you? I surely wouldn’t drink it but I don’t mind if it’s legal. It’s America baby.

If someone consensually drinks raw milk and gets sick, that’s on them. If a parent makes their kid drink that and the kid gets sick, that is potentially child abuse.

I think the main concern here is some undereducated or easily buying into conspiracy theories/conservative individuals would feed their kids raw milk.

There are lots of things that are not good you that parents give their children and they are totally legal.

I think debating this or trying to fight against it is a waste of time rather than bigger issues.
No, they tested for organic fluorine, and then acted surprised when they predictably realized that many floss products contain PTFE, widely known as Teflon, which we've already known for decades. It's not a secret, and it is in fact the only floss that I can use on my tightly arranged teeth.

PTFE is not a PFAS in the sense used in health research. Teflon is a hard, waxy plastic which is among the most inert, biologically inactive substances known. It is used everywhere from medical implants, Gore-Tex, and other clothing, teflon tape used to seal plumbing joints in your house, and many other other common uses. There is no evidence (that is, evidence from scientifically solid studies-- there are a couple poor ones), that any dental floss raises physiologic levels of PFAS.

The reason you know this reporting is bullshit is that nobody is proposing that we outlaw teflon tape in drinking water plumbing, even though it's made from the same plastic as the best floss products.

Also this from the NIH [2]:

It's a fad from those wanting to eat like ancient man.

But because it is a regulation, it has also become a call for "FREEEEEeeeeeddoooomm".

Who cares about germs? Really, people are free to not wash their hands either, but it isn't the smartest thing to do.

100 Years ago when the lack of food safety was killing a lot of people, there was an outcry for laws. Now, laws are viewed as bad, just let me kill myself if I want to.

No, sorry, I never wrote it.
Why would you want to ban it?
> Sure, but how often do you need to touch that config?

It’s not only the config, though. It’s the arcane shortcuts and the weird way it seems to handle most things (trying to get the mouse working is a bloody nightmare and it regularly borks the terminal). I have a mouse with a scrolling wheel, for example. It works fine with most programs over ssh, why is it such a pain with tmux? Such pains remain even after having felt down the rabbit hole and spent 2 weeks tweaking settings.

iTerm2 is fantastic and I would be very happy to just use it and call the problem solved, but I don’t have a Mac at work.
Like the overly helpful person at the local hardware store.
Google’s transformation of conventional methods into means of hypercapitalist surveillance is both pervasive and insidious. The “normal definition of that term” hides this.
My pet theory is that social media isn't the problem, the always-on surveillance created by smartphones is.

When I was in university, we had nude parties. I'm pretty sure nobody would risk that nowadays. That cherry-picking you mentioned goes both for highs and lows. In this day and age, you always need to plan for your worst moment to end up in someone's picture. The ubiquity of cameras has made everyday living more risky in the sense that you're constantly at risk of losing social standing over insignificant mistakes.
I have seen a tremendous amount of bad advice on bikewrench.
"Small law firms" seem to have a history of adopting and hanging on to specific software. IIRC they used Wordperfect for years after Word had taken over almost all other business and personal word processing, because there were so many legal templates for Wordperfect and they didn't want to abandon what was working for them.
I do the same for one-off tasks. I use ^a as the escape key locally and leave the remote server(s) to use the default ^b because I might need to login to random servers with no shared home or login as a common user and they often have restrictions on adding/changing custom dot files.

If it gets too annoying, the remote session is openend in a new terminal tab and I temporarily remap the escape key to ^a on remote tmux.
Shame that it is (basically) a Windows exclusive application.
If you can't find things to criticize about yourself, it means you aren't improving. Sharing these critiques helps others both learn from your mistakes, and that it's ok to learn from their own.

No doubt it's related to the stories about H1N1 in raw milk remaining active and dangerous.

At this point I'm starting to think that we can kill two birds with one stone, and have the government announce that gravity can kill you if you fall off a bridge, and then just wait for some people to take that bet and lose.
No. Whether a person should eat a certain number of small rocks each day is not a matter of opinion, it's not a deep philosophical problem and it's not a question whose truth is not resolveable. You should not be eating rocks.
Ignoring the necropost in the OP, I want to take this space to point out that if you want to live like it's Little House on the Prairie, you may discover that people had diarrhea more often than you'd like to think back then. And there's probably a factor of your gut not being used to such diverse flora, as well. I guess whatever makes them feel better while they're sitting on the porcelain throne.
I like how iTerm2 can act as a UI for tmux via tmux’s control protocol. We don’t need to reinvent tmux to fix some of the UX issues of tmux sessions inside terminal tabs inside terminal windows.

Is it Schedule I on the DEA list? If not then I don't understand the comparison.
Yes you can define your own key bindings. The default is the same “prefix key” that ‘screen’ uses - Ctrl-b. Personally I like to use Ctrl-j because it’s easier to type and has fewer conflicts with shells and other things. Most of the key bindings that follow the prefix key seem natural to me, stuff like ‘c’ to create a new tab, ‘d’ to detach from tmux, ‘n’ to go to the next tab, etc., but all of that can be customized.
Regardless of what caused it, it’s definitely hilarious
This approach to remove bad search suggestions manually reminded of a different approach Google once took, where they weren’t satisfied with manually tweaking search results but rather wanted to tweak the algorithm that produces these results when there were bad results.

'Around 2002, a team was testing a subset of search limited to products, called Froogle. But one problem was so glaring that the team wasn't comfortable releasing Froogle: when the query "running shoes" was typed in, the top result was a garden gnome sculpture that happened to be wearing sneakers. Every day engineers would try to tweak the algorithm so that it would be able to distinguish between lawn art and footwear, but the gnome kept its top position. One day, seemingly miraculously, the gnome disappeared from the results. At a meeting, no one on the team claimed credit. Then an engineer arrived late, holding an elf with running shoes. He had bought the one-of-a kind product from the vendor, and since it was no longer for sale, it was no longer in the index. "The algorithm was now returning the right results," says a Google engineer. "We didn't cheat, we didn't change anything, and we launched."'

No, it isn't. Humans interacting with human-generated text is generally fine. You cannot unleash a machine on the mountains of text stored on reddit and magically expect it to tell fact from fiction or sarcasm from bad intent.
>Not sure how the same argument doesn't apply to the death penalty given that a dead person presumably has also "lost the right to have rights."

Precisely. It is a back justification for a religious notion that universal/cosmic justice is actually a thing and not a product of human psychology in groups. Karma is one example of this pernicious religious thinking. Supreme Court can't come out and say that though or else the magick trick of governance and statehood falls apart. It relies on both your consent and your belief in its inevitability to maintain its existence and influence.

Allowing for banishment will teach the other animals on the farm that the farmer is not god. Separation of church and state is impossible as statism is itself a religion with a god (the state, maybe in proxy for the ephemeral We The People); all the separation accomplished was plastering a neutral color wallpaper on the old system.

every proposal for C/C++ modules feels like it's by someone who has not used a working module system and doesn't believe it's truly possible to create
Not a surprise, CL's most marketable advantage is that it is infinitely moldable.

It has the most powerful macro system which enables one to define arbitrary syntax, essentially creating mini languages. So, CL is flexible enough to be able to create many languages without changing its fundamentals, such as those in the article. CL is like clay,not even lego bricks. And while this sounds wonderful and liberating, you end up having to learn many different mini languages for each library you use. I like this idea(l), but I do not have sophisticated enough needs to use it (I wish, feel free to hire me on a common lisp project, anyone), but I can imagine that for most programmers that much flexibility may become a source agony, especially if they need to work with other people's code, essentially having to learn (frequently badly?) designed mini languages.
I have also seen a recent case where they forced someone to give up their password. So I'm not sure you are safe either way.

> Sure, but how often do you need to touch that config?

More often than I’d like! tmux config has broken backwards compatibility on me multiple times over the years.

This is fine for most software — you upgrade your config once and you’re done. However, the nature of tmux is that I use it on many servers, some old and some new, some with tmux 1.x and some with 2.x. Getting a ~/.tmux.conf from my dotfiles repo that works across both has been papercutty.

Love tmux though & can’t imagine tty life without it — I run it locally as well as on remote machines.
