Michael Pollan's thesis is absurdly exaggerated. I've been on and off coffee for the past few years and it's not necessary to "make daily work bearable". His link between caffeine and capitalism is just silly.

I tried to pivot each time to alternative idea.

I started from: Rent random travelers rent your couch.

- Then: Platform that allows to rent amazing location

- Then: Connect with locals to show attractions

- Then: Partners with verified experts in various fields
(e.g. historians, chefs, artists) to offer curated, educational experiences

- Then: connect travelers with local, knowledgeable guides

- Then: connect travelers with local community members for casual meetups or activities

- Then: connect travelers with lnon-profits for volunteer opportunities

- Then: connect travelers with mentorship opportunities
This is a Monty Python skit. Chomsky called him amoral and his philosophy fake. He doesn’t disagree with Foucault’s “philosophy” he thinks it’s fake. A moral person doesn’t swingle people with lies. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ohDB5gbtaEQ
It can be hard to justify the cost of installing and maintaining any form of household cooling in colder areas of Europe. Additionally a lot of apartment buildings don't have them, and most landlords probably wouldn't appreciate a tenant installing one without permission. Evidently heatwaves are becoming common enough now that most people should probably keep a window AC unit ready in case of emergencies though.
Not an expert, but could you use something like https://enigmaprotector.com/en/aboutvb.html to virtualize a file system to create a portable exe. Not sure if the size would exceed your specs.

C# with WPF or WinForms only seems nice in comparison to other relatively painful tools IMO.

The old RAD graphical tools and newer ones like Rebol (that are now dated) show just what is possible. Mathematica is also pretty powerful and doesn't require a ton of code.
Good point.

My thinking here was kind of half-baked.

Thinking through it some more:
- Maybe it's more that I've seen teams reach for GraphQL when another option would've been simpler.
- You can get many of GraphQL's benefits with other, simpler solutions.
- But when you do need GraphQL, of course go for that.
> isn't it an advantage to have them move their funds on a network that can be completely traced and retroactively inspected?

Isn't that advantage precisely because of AML/KYC requirements on the networks?
It says it is normalized against actual published lost baggage statistics.

You can calculate a ratio of social media complaints to lost bags for airlines you have data on and then infer a loss rate for airlines that don't release data.
Windows (MS) and OSX (Apple) need to agree on a GUI interoperability API. Either hammer something out, or adopt one/more of the OSS GUI framework specifications from QT and GTK.

It MUST be open spec. It MUST be free for all/any to implement. It MUST either be included or be in the primary vendor (MS, Apple, distro) software center.

A simple Hello World, click OK to exit the program application should be able to be cross-compiled for any platform, and the resulting binary MUST NOT require including / embedding DLL / library hell like everything today does. It SHOULD be a small entirely dynamic program; possibly a few hundred kilobytes at most but even that seems too large. After all, it would mostly be the basic boilerplate of setting up memory, calling the system library loader, and linking in the shared libraries.

Unfortunately, if you are insisting on a single exe file, then you have to be way more flexible on your requirements than the author is. There’s a reason that practically every Windows program has an installer. It’s stupid and a waste of time but also probably more of a waste of time to try to be the exception to this rule.

Frankly I don’t see why C# targeting an old (3.5?) .NET framework version wouldn’t work for the author. There seems to be a tendency to fixate on how things should be vs where we are now. C++ native GUI dev is not a mainstay like it used to be.
See my (now buried) comment on cumulative years of precedent overturned using the same source:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40838536

I think we can both agree that the count of precedents overturned is important, but so is the time something has been established law, as it affects more decisions made by the individuals and the legislature.
Writing GUI apps for Windows in C++ is painful

There, fixed it for ya.

There are solutions if you're not hell-bent on using C++, be it .Net, Lazarus (FreePascal) or Delphi. We're using Delphi at work and for the most part it's super simple and easy.
Writing GUI apps is painful everywhere, and has been for years.

I remember the half-baked transition from Windows Forms to WPF, which was then taken-over by the Windows Phone initiative, which was also extremely painful and half-baked.

There's a reason electron is so popular, despite all the complaints about it as a platform. Don't blame the electron devs, blame Microsoft for completely failing to support their own platform. That lack of long-term support and consistency extends to a ton of areas in the Windows world, not just GUI development.
That's what I'm saying. Those are the things that need to be fixed, not cash mandates.
Huh. I was going to say, no, of course not, it checks that you're actually accessing a null pointer, but where there's a will there's a way.

Excellent FUD.
> You are confusing two things.

I doubt it.

The essence of the question is the definition of "you" in your sentences.

Who or what is "you"?

(In fact that question is the short wide path to enlightenment, if "you" are into that sort of thing. Cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-enquiry It's metaphysical dynamite.)

If you don't nail down that fundamental ground (who or what are you?) then there's no point talking about it.

What is the "you" that has "a systems perspective"? What is the "you" that is going to live in the imaginary computer universe you are postulating?

Because it sounds like you think you are imaginary.

> Likewise, you don’t need to know where the CPU is.

But it still is in space? It still exists? It's not imaginary?

> The game provides an environment that is independent of what kind of computer you are running it on (given enough speed to be indistinguishable).

The computer still has to have a monitor? A controller with switches and buttons?

> the Internet [is] independent of the exact physical things.

No my friend it is exactly those physical things and nothing else. There is no "the Internet" there is only physical things and subjective awareness. As far as we know "subjective awareness" whatever it is only occurs in brains, physical brains.

You are saying that "subjective awareness" can exist (whatever "exist" means) without any hardware at all. I don't think you (or anyone else) has any evidence that that's true.

Power isn't cheap, and inefficient is an understatement. In the heatwave last week in Germany I managed to get ours to cool a tiny bedroom from 30 to maybe 26 degrees Celsius.

Doesn't help that in new construction outer walls are usually very well insulated, and inner walls and floors aren't (by design; 70% of total heating cost is evenly split too), so you're working against your neighbors too. We have some stupidly complex building standards often driven by industry lobbying (which also makes building expensive), but installing a mini split hasn't made it on the list.

The behaviour of Math.random() is technically browser specific since the algorithm isn't specified, but I think all the big engines have settled on xorshift128+. That's probably good enough for most non-crypto things.

Still, if you want consistent quality and speed across all browsers current and future, you're better off bundling your own PRNG code. That's also necessary if you want a repeatable sequence from a specific seed value, neither of the browser built-in methods support that.
You can easily see that Trump will attack Ukraine? Really?

> You may want to read some MLK - he had some very clear words about the liberal who demands civility in the face of oppression.

It is not about acting civilly. It is about messaging.

If non-movement people consider you as a bunch of jackasses, do you think they will join your cause, or even have sympathy towards it? You need to communicate your message—words and actions—so that, at the very least, people will have a neutral opinion. If you're actually good, then people will have a positive opinion of you and your goals.

> Days later, King was quietly bailed out and ejected from prison by Albany police chief Laurie Pritchett, who had studied the nonviolence protest method and released King to undermine it. In other cities, violence by police against peaceful demonstrators brought outcry and sympathy. But Pritchett met nonviolence with nonviolence. Within weeks, the protest fizzled out. For King, Albany was largely a failure, and his takeaway was for the movement to better pick its spots.

[…]

> It was far from total victory, but King had something more important: the attention of an outraged and rapt nation. The legacy of the water cannons and dogs, of callused feet and imprisoned children, would be incarnated in the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act and the Twenty-Fourth Amendment, which banned poll taxes. Montgomery and Birmingham also formed the script for peaceably countering injustice in a nation founded on protest. From antiwar protests during Vietnam to Occupy Wall Street and beyond, King’s commitment to nonviolent protest lives on.

It is why violence is usually such a bad idea: most non-members of a movement don't want to get into that, and would probably see the movement as a bunch of thugs. In a survey of 600 movements since 1900, Chenoweth et al found that those that used violence were successful ~25% of the time, but non-violence had a >40% success rate.

You almost double your chances of success by gaining sympathy versus 'acting out'. Do you think the race riots helped or hindered the civil rights movement?

> Let me say as I've always said, and I will always continue to say, that riots are socially destructive and self-defeating. I'm still convinced that nonviolence is the most potent weapon available to oppressed people in their struggle for freedom and justice. I feel that violence will only create more social problems than they will solve. That in a real sense it is impracticable for the Negro to even think of mounting a violent revolution in the United States. So I will continue to condemn riots, and continue to say to my brothers and sisters that this is not the way. And continue to affirm that there is another way.

Historic, Powerful Hurricane Beryl to Hit Windward Islands

What kind of tooling modernization would even make a difference?

True, dat.

My first job, was as a bench tech for an RF/microwave manufacturer (defense).

I think that experience made me a much better debugger, when I switched to software.

A lot of my work was analog (Spectrum Analyzers, Oscilloscopes, Signal Generators, etc.), but we also did a lot of digital debugging.

One of the coolest tools we had, was what was called an "ICE" (In-Circuit Emulator).

You yanked out the processor, and plugged in the ICE, and it replaced the processor. You could view everything going on, inside the processor, registers, accumulators, the whole kitchen sink.

These days, it would be impossible to make an ICE for current processors (although AI-assisted design might give us some surprises).

A lot of issues came about, at the intersection of analog and digital. Ringing could wreak havoc on digital buses, and, in those days, we weren't as good at handling GHz frequencies, as we are now. Every solder burr would become a microwave broadcast antenna.
Definitely an apple to oranges comparison.

What I meant (and probably poorly communicated) is that you don't necessarily need GraphQL and its challenges to get type safety and prevent overfetching. There's a nice REST pattern that can do that, which happens to be what Remxi uses.
Batteries should be replaceable, but requiring them to be user replaceable, essentially banning glue seals, is ridiculous.

Glueing phones shut is a very effective way to guarantee longevity and make it safe from damage from water, sand and dust. Manufacturers should be required to provide replacement batteries and replacement seals, which allow any remotely competent repair shop to replace the battery, I there is a need for it.

Edit: If you are curious, this is one of the easier ways to get down voted on HN. This isn't the first time this topic came up, but as of now nobody has really tried to argue against this, which I always thought kind of disappointing.
I think OpenStep actually had something like this in mind and had a Windows implementation too. It's apparently even used in Apple Windows apps like Safari, but of course it must not be complete enough to be able to fully replace native Windows API, and the incentive isn't there either.
You and the person I replied to post 0 out of these "8 billion official and academic resources."

If you say supply and demand doesn't work for housing (science proven over centuries in human societies all over the world), you are similar to vaccine deniers.
Why? Letting people know if a part is genuine empowers the user. I can’t think of a single reason that giving them more information is a bad thing.

The last time they didn’t let people know about battery information they were fined heavily, even though it prevented unwanted behaviour (reboots). If a third party battery can’t supply peak current demand, they will have to alert.
How do we know the butterflies didn't piggyback on a flight?
As someone who doesn't use cash much, I'm curious about what happens when you enjoy some service like a restaurant, where you don't know that they don't take cash until you're done and they are waiting for you to pay? If they only take credit cards, and all you have is cash, what then? Return your food from your stomach? Surely they'd rather take your cash than have you walk out without paying. So at the end of they day, they aren't really no-cash companies...
My Samsung S5 was water resistant (IP67) and had user-replaceable batteries. They solved it by having an "O-ring" gasket around the periphery of the case[1].

Vim life.
They need it. Because of design choices by everyone involved, it's all gathered under the name "location Services", and they are necessary to get the product to work. I'm not sure if it's a bad name or not. Your phone's bluetooth and wifi can be used to locate where you are, so the backwards framing is that it's location services, which isn't a lie, but it's misleading. Because the operating system manufacturers are trying to simplify things for us, it's "location services", not GPS, wifi, bluetooth. An app with location services enabled could take your gps coordinates and beam them home to a foreign government, and it's entirely possible they do, but because of how manufacturers have decided to name things so as to not confuse consumers, apps need "location services" to use bluetooth/change wifi.
The dual-network cards are Visa/Mastercard "debit" cards, which look like a credit card but sometimes don't work like one. I never had a problem with my dual-network card when physically visiting the States, but for whatever reason, some online payment systems (especially ones in Canada) have trouble with it. And vendors are clueless as to what the problem is when the debit CC number fails to go through.

Just recently I tried to pay at a parking kiosk with my dual-network card, and it repeatedly failed with a generic error. So I had to use my credit card (which I only got for this kind of situation) instead.

So often when trying to pay with a CC number, only a credit card will work. It's pretty dumb.
I don't know how it compares in general, but quickly swappable/replaceable battery was the main reason I selected the Samsung XCover6 Pro, and it has an IP68 rating.
Yep, this was mostly a random thought.

What I should've said: GraphQL isn't the only option for type safety and preventing over fetching. There's a nice REST pattern which Remix happens to do.

Counterpoint, no-one I know cares about water resistance.

What does Super PAC spending have to do with what the ruling was “about?”

The legal issue in Citizens United was whether the government could punish a non-profit company for making a movie about Hilary Clinton during election season. During the oral argument, the government’s lawyer admitted that the government’s view of the first amendment would authorize the government to ban books.

Look, I think the Supreme Court has gone too far with the first amendment, like holding that stripping is protected speech and communities cannot shut down strip clubs. But making movies critical of political candidates is clearly within the core of protected speech.

And you can’t get around that by focusing on the corporate issue. If corporations don’t have free speech, then when Trump gets elected again in a few months he can legally require Facebook and Google to show its viewers pro-Trump advertisements.

The only principled way to do what you want is to say that the government can impose certain speech restrictions for the good of society. That’s basically what the Europeans do. But that’s exactly the interpretation that liberals spent the entire 20th century fighting against.
To what "leftist' protests are you referring, exactly?
