Even with IDEs, I find that I grep through source trees fairly often.

Sometimes it's because I don't completely trust the IDE to find everything I'm interested in (justifiably; sometimes it doesn't). Sometimes it's because I'm not looking to dive into the code and do serious work on it; I'm just doing a quick drive-by check/lookup for something. Sometimes it's because I'm ssh'd into another machine and I don't have the ability to easily open the sources in an IDE.
I find this very entertaining, for some reason.

It reads quite humorous to me, self-deprecatory. They took little disagreements without importance and put it in writing. Nobody is trashing anybody.

To be able to write this, in this amount, they must be loving each other strongly.
The way I read it:they inserted the manager as a litmus test AGAINST aggression / toxic culture. Kind of like when a psychology test is given, the __thing__ they're trying to measure is always one level removed / abstracted to avoid subjects gaming the system. I suppose deceptive practices in interviews don't bode well, but I could see the argument given the interviewee could be deceptive (something that this site complains about a lot with upper management / ChiefBullshittingOperatives etc.)
They're mostly decent about getting the systems unlocked after you pay. The incentive for these groups is that if they become known as unable or unwilling to get you your systems back they're far less likely to get paid. A few years back I read an article talking about this exact problem where the groups were fairly active and responsive so that their victims are more likely to actually pay.
"Trash is an inescapable element of the human condition."

It is an inescapable element of the current consumerism economical model, but it should'nt be of the human condition.
Probably not. I can't imagine anything we currently landfill that we're in any danger of running out of. Even rare-earth metals are quite widely dispersed and readily available. It seems more likely that we'd divert e-waste to places where materials can be recovered long before mining old trash.

This assumes that the banking app receives push data about the transaction by the bank, and simply has an "approve" button A simple 2FA app like Authy/Aegis that produces a number has the same problems as the keyfob.

The threat model is: malicious actor posing as the bank website, but legitimate keyfob or legitimate app. With the keyfob, the website intercepts a valid password and a valid 2FA code; with the app, nothing happens because it doesn't receive push data from the true bank.

I hope it is more clear now!

> if it's a project that isn't my day-to-day but is in a language I already have set up in my IDE, I'd much prefer to open it up in my IDE and use jump to definition and friends than to try to grep and hope that the developers made it grepable.

It's funny, because my preference and actual use is the exact opposite: for a project that isn't my day-to-day, I'm much more likely to try to grep through it rather than open it in an IDE.
Sorry to hear that. My blog posts are intended to build intuition. I also write academic papers, which of course involves a different standard of rigour. Perhaps you'd prefer those, only one of those is about diffusion models though.

> IVF is moving the goalposts

IVF replicates a critical part of making a baby, conception, and artifically steers another, implantation. From a miraculousness perspective, conception is high up there. Certainly one that a hundred years ago someone would have similarly scoffed at being able to be done in a lab not only at all, but almost as well as in nature.

> Even our 'natural' food mass produced in monoculture fields is devoid of nutrients compared to small farms

Sure. What do you think most mothers are eating?
Aside from emergencies, there are other scenarios where the term price gouging is justified, as described in the Wikipedia article I posted. Those include monopoly pricing, and excessive beyond fair market pricing, and more. Your example of insulin is one of monopoly pricing. Obviously monopoly pricing of insulin isn’t subject to seasonal demand and wasn’t caused by an acute geographic emergency, which is why calling it price gouging is justified in that case, and why your example isn’t very relevant to this article.

The article wasn’t even about price gouging anyway, that’s a slightly click-bait title, and it never provided evidence and instead went off discussing investment financing at length.

It’s absolutely standard practice, and considered “fair”, for hotels to charge more money during busy seasons and busy weeks, globally. You need more evidence than the existence of high-demand market pricing in order to justify calling what’s in the article ‘price gouging’. I have in no way defended price gouging. If you’re anti-free-market and don’t believe prices should change based on demand, that’s fine, but that’s a different debate entirely.

I believe the point is multifaceted:

1. Relationships are hard.

2. If you take a step back and look at the things you argue with your significant other about (or anyone else close to you), it's humbling to see how silly it often is.

3. Love doesn't always agree; if you actually hated the person, why would you stick with them through the annoyances and arguments instead of leaving?

On Wikipedia it says that 3DS Max version 1 was only supported on Windows NT 3.5 and 4, later coming to Windows 95 with version 2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autodesk_3ds_Max#Version_histo... So that makes sense with my recollection.

IMHO, your strategy has always been the Correct Answer™. "Web browsers" should be based on URI/URL, HTTP, a canvas, and a stock virtual machine (eg WASM).

HTML/CSS support should just be another MIME type among many. Java Applets, Flash/Shockwave, PDF, Markdown, VRML-97, Quake .map, or whatever. Most sites would use one of the many stock renderer & runtimes. Some would implement their own, like your CSS reimplementation, as needed.

In other words, just skip the need for HTML shims.

Lastly, your efforts bring us that much closer to bringing us full circle. Next step: implement Wayland (and/or X11 if you're nostalgic).

Yet another reason to move on from C++. I could not help but think, “Why do I have to know any of this?!”
Really all this tells me is that, for most people, the only thing standing between them and being a husk of a person is their job. Which is kind of sad.

I saw a similar line of reasoning when WFH took off. Many people lamented the death of their social life. But, if your social life consisted of going to the office, did you ever really have a social life? Or did you have the bare minimum and then used to convince yourself everything is fine?

Sometimes people say the true purpose of modern human society is to keep people in poor enough conditions we can extract the maximum value from them, but in just good enough conditions they will never revolt. I think that's ridiculous, but then I read stuff like this and think... maybe there's some truth to it.
Show HN: Icebreaking AI. A free tool to help you find close friends
Hello, everyone!

My name is Alex, and I'm an expat in a new country. Two years ago, I moved to Germany where I didn’t know anyone. Starting the job, I realized that becoming close friends with colleagues can be quite challenging and slow. The feeling of loneliness was gradually growing.

To change that, I started attending various meetups based on my interests, hoping to make new friends. However, I often found myself answering the same generic questions that didn’t really help me understand if someone shared my values and interests. As a result, lost energy and 0 friends.

SO - That’s when I began using icebreaking questions in smaller groups. Surprisingly, these questions quickly changed any conversation to a deeper, more engaging and meaningful level. I was able to identify people I genuinely connected with and started spending more time with them.

BUT - preparing and using these questions was a pain. I would Google the top-100, pick a random number, and choose a question. I felt a strong need for a simple „one button“ that does everything for me.

AND - After searching and not finding such a solution, I decided to build it myself. I created a vast database of questions across various topics and integrated AI to generate questions on any subject.

The idea has resonated well within my communities (university and expat parties), and more people are starting to use it. I’d love to hear your stories with icebreaking questions, your experience, and your feedback so I can make the service even more useful for more people!

Check it out and share your thoughts!
The bigger issue imo is the assumption that because something is effective/useful this must necessarily "solve a problem (for society)".
that's my question: if you were the ransomee, how do you establish that you're working with a "reliable" ransom group? Is there a BBB for ransom groups?

If so, how do you establish that the ransom group is actually the group with the good reputation?

I guess I'm intrigued by how you achieve all that when you're talking about the perpetrator of a crime that is obfuscating their identity.
It doesn't matter if you've worked on this at a different company, especially considering how much Musk changed about Twitter. You either know the reasons they were banned and restored or you don't - it's disingenuous to claim that a) they weren't banned, and b) to claim you know that the reasons definitely aren't XYZ.
> Owning a constant 70% of a market that’s growing consistently each year is not saturation - was the portable music market stagnant by 2007?

iPod sales grew by 18% in 2006 and 17% in 2007. It was 140% 2006 and 373% in 2005. So yeah they weren't technically really stagnant just slowed down significantly. Even if we look at combined iPod and iPhone sales they grew slower than Nokia and Sony phone in the same period (Motorola had peaked in 2006). That didn't change until the 3G came out in 2008 and "high-end feature phone" market collapsed by 2009.

> It’s important to remember that consumers don’t make decisions on what CPU is in a machine

Yes but IIRC G5 had pretty awful performance per watt and Apple never put it into any laptops. They were stuck with G4 which wasn't really competitive with x86 by 2006.

> 2007 which is when growth had started slowing is when the iPhone kept up the growth.

It didn't initially though, not until mid 2008 if we compare to how fast Mac sales grew in the same period. Between 2006 and 2009 Apple's laptop sales increased by almost 3x or so. While even if we add up iPod + iPhone sales they "only" grew by 2x. Especially 2007 to 2008 was relatively pretty bad since iPod + iPhone sales only went up by 1.3x. Macbooks were the fastest growing product/segment between mid 2006 and mid 2008.

To be fair I'm mostly nitpicking at this point since I do agree with your longterm analysis more or less, but since Mac sales grew at the fastest during the period when iPod sales were relatively stagnant and iPhone sales were still relatively very low (2007 to mid 2008 before the 3G, the original iPhone wasn't a particularly good smartphone it had a large multitouch screen and that's about it..) it's not that obvious to me that iPod/iPhone sales were driving Mac sales that much.

Of course that specific period was pretty unique. Laptop market was growing very fast and Apple finally was offering devices which were incredibly competitive with other laptops at the time. It doesn't change the big picture too much (most growth was coming from iPod sales before that and iPhone/iPad afterwards)

How Air Conditioning Took over the American Office
If anyone cares, he used to have a mailing list, with emails such as this (Mon, 13 Jun 2005):

Good day, my handsomes.

Demonstrating the sedulity for which I am rightly famous, it's another full-size Mail this time. A colossal, sprawling thing, packed full of work-dodging nourishment: to you, a warm bath of idleness in which to soak; to your parsimonious employer, both a thumb and a nose.Its varied time-wasting confections include:

1) A small anecdote that, if you're a women, will have you valuing your partner all the more, or, if you're a man, may be recounted at a crucial moment as a defence for your otherwise wholly unacceptable behaviour. Basically: Women - See? It could be worse; Men - Here, let Mil take a bullet for you.

2) A few links to things to which I said, in some moments of weakness, I'd provide links.

3) Want to be a writer, eh? That's because you know nothing. Get the opportunity to 'be' me for the duration of a questionnaire, and experience the reality of life as a novelist in all its disorientating horror.

4) Probably some bridging sentences.

"But, how do I read this Mail?" you howl, clawing at your cheeks and running about setting fire to things like Rochester's first wife. Well, in the usual way, of course. What are you, dim? You know the rules: no dim people are allowed on this List - unsub now and go back to the Internet, dimmy. For the rest of you scented and verifiably undim Mailing Listers, the standard methods apply:

To read the Mail online, visit here:

http://microurl.com/mil/sixsquared

Or, to receive it as a near-instant auto-reply in your Inbox, send an email to:

gummibandpost@mil.theweekly.co.uk

(mailto:gummibandpost@mil.theweekly.co.uk)

(NTL continues to be rubbish, and analysts expect it to remain so until we're all dead in the ground. So, the auto-reply service in now provided by a cage of urchins at The Weekly. Hurrah for The Weekly and its keen-eyed exploitation of Science and foundlings.)

As you are aware, the method you choose to employ is down to nothing more than how best to bypass the particular filters your company has decided - ineffectively, but still to its lasting shame - to employ.

So, put aside all thoughts of labour while you spin away a few minutes at the Mail. It is Monday. Far better to not to jump straight back into work with jarring abruptness after the weekend's pause: that way lies only personal injury.

Mil.

Brexit had a role. The weeping and wailing began the night of the referendum. By the next morning we were confidently told by the press, Reddit, and Twitter that millions of Leave voters were already regretting their vote, and that another referendum was thus the only fair/democratic/correct thing to do. (That even if such millions of Regretters actually existed that does not mean that a revote would occur is a minor technicality.)

Since "they" were for Brexit "we" must be against it, with "it" thus resulting in an ever-firmer embrace of all that the EU says and does. Since then we've seen every single ailment in the UK blamed on Brexit (while every single time the UK does better than continental Europe blithely ignored), even while similar pressures/desires elsewhere are ignored. Macron admitted in 2018 that the French would probably have voted to leave in a UK-style referendum. <https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jan/21/emmanuel-macro...>
I have similar feelings... I still use IntelliJ IDEA for JVM languages, but for C, Rust, Go, Python, etc., I've been using vim for years (decades?), and that's just how I prefer to write code in those languages. I do have LSP plugins installed in vim for the languages I work in, and do have a key sequence mapped for jump-to-definition... but I still find myself (rip)grepping through the source at least as often as I j-t-d, maybe more often.
Thanks for the answer, very interesting stuff.

I guess my next question is how do you establish that it's actually the group with the "good" reputation, and not just one claiming or pretending to be them?

> But considering how inconsiderate kids are and how much everyone around you depends on you having kids, some amount of putting up with those kids, collectively, seems very okay.

Which is why letting you bring your kids, but then also politely letting you know when your kids are being a distraction should be a totally acceptable compromise.

The problem is only when a parent takes any amount of confrontation to be a form of societal oppression and writes an expose on it on Business Insider (for example).
And I'm okay with that! As other people have noted, this is a relic of the old internet. I think we're all sick of the same generic cookie-cutter dribble being monetized and pushed in front of us.

If there's a lesson to be learned... I'll remember this way more than I'll remember any template-y Launch HN SaaS site marketing page. We're all desperate for something different; something that stops us for a second like a little speed bump during our 8 hours of consuming the same pre-packaged generic crap over and over again.
For sure. I have friends who are in long term relationships and very happy and they bicker a lot. I have friends who never fight or raise their voices. Compatibility of sensitivity is a real thing.
Honestly, we did desktop first because that seemed to be the default for most websites we looked at.

> They will work for our pensions and care for us when we are old.

That sentence sent chills down my spine.

Life is an end in itself. It is a not a means to the ends of others. Your children are no more my responsibility than they are my tool to serve me in old age. My pension and care in old age is not their responsibility any more than their behaviour is my obligation to put up with.

If this sounds strange and overly "individualistic" then let me frame the issue in a slightly different way.

If we accept that children are an "absolutely necessary part of society" because "they will work for our pensions and care for us when we are old" then what happens if people choose not to have children? Are childless (by choice) people parasites in such a society? If more and more people decide to not have children is there a point where this becomes a social crises to the point where we start forcing people to have children?

And what about children who decide to emigrate as adults? Is there a point where you prevent people from travelling in order to guarantee that you have enough people around to pay pensions and take care of old people?

Not that it should matter, but I write this a middle-aged parent of two adult daughters who I do not hold to any sort of moral obligation to take care of me when I'm old. If they choose to then cool, I guess, but it's their life to live as they choose. The mere fact that they exist does not automatically obligate them to anyone else for any purpose.
