On the utilitarian front, I would prioritize my mother, but it would be because I care about her, not because I would be acting morally. I accept that I can't ever be a perfect utilitarian. Perfect is the enemy of good though.

I don't have kids, it does make a lot of sense that that would affect a person's psyche. The bit about having to define what behavior is good or bad seems to me like you are working out your beliefs through others, which seems like a reasonable way to do things since you get to have an outside perspective on the effects of what you are internalizing.

About debating morality though. That's exactly where principles become needed. It's great to say that we should be kind, but who are we kind to? It can't always be everyone at the same time. To bring things back to the trolley problem, I may save my mom, but it really is super unfair to the 20 people on the other track. This sort of thing is exactly why people consider nepotism to be wrong

I'm in my early sixties. My longest owned possession died last week. It was a dinner plate from the set that my mom served us with growing up. I still used it every day. I put a butter dish down on it a bit too hard and it shattered. Bringing it to the trash can felt like a funeral procession.

Somewhere along the line I read advice not to let objects become totems. I heeded that over the years and have let things go when they seemed to acquire power over me. But sometimes I wish I held on to a few more things from sentiment if not practicality.

> Welcome to France! France is built on the idea that the public can't be trusted, has not really reached adulthood (won't ever) and needs to be coached by an army of civil servants whose job is to protect the State and its finances.

Sounds a lot like Germany. One notable exception to this is when the public tries to interact with the government. Then it is expected that citizens are experts in public administration procedures and can decipher deliberately obfuscated language that abuses the passive voice (among other dark patterns) to sound more abstract and inscrutable.

> the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) would be eliminated

The DHS was created in the wake of 9/11 by GW and has furthered the security/police state. They fail pretty hard at securing the border as wlel.

> the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) would be privatized

The TSA is a jobs program for rude/mean people who also steal/assault passengers. It did not exist pre-2001. Privatizing it makes sense. Its workers form unions that extort the taxpayer.

> The Department of Education would be eliminated and oversight of education and federal funding for education will be handed over to the states

Good. All the DoE does is service loans and hand out free money to the broken higher education system. They don't set curriculum. Every state has its own DoE as well. Every educational metric has declined under the DoE as well. Its essentially a jobs program for bureaucrats.

> The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is to “privatize as much as possible” and close many hospitals and clinics.

As a Vet, the VA is a total mess. I can't see how it could get worse by becoming private. Lets shake things up.

> The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) would be taken apart and send much of its work to states and other agencies

HUD is probably the worst landlord in the country. States have public housing agencies already as well.
I made a point, but you got defensive and missed it. I’m not defending theism, I’m pointing out what I find to be an amusing irony about supposedly rationalist atheism.

I’m not pointing out open questions, I’m presenting offered answers. To the atheist that all these things happened for no reason at all isn’t an open question, it’s a definitively held belief.

> Just because there are open questions doesn't mean there is a god. There are unknowns -> ? -> Must be god.

> I were to follow your argument as "there are unknowns thus god

You are hallucinating an argument I never made. If you want to engage please address what I actually wrote. This has nothing to do with “god of the gaps” or any such thing. It’s simply highlighting the definitively held atheist belief that reason played no role in any of the given phenomena.

> All of the same arguments you made also apply to aliens.

This doesn’t make any sense. But sure an atheist might believe that alien life also evolved, once again, for no reason at all.

Or are you trying to propose something more sophisticated like that our reality is a simulation created by advanced aliens? Positing that our reality was created by an in some sense superior alien intelligence or intelligences does mean things didn’t happen for no reason at all.

It’s moderately interesting to compare simulationism with other intelligent design theories. I’m not going to do that here, but I will note that “supernatural” literally just means above nature, so vis a vis our perceived reality the creator or creators of the simulation would be supernatural beings. Similarly any admin actions they might take would be miraculous.

Yeah, steel is real.

Reading between the lines, the frame is one of the only components that has stayed constant over the lifetime of the bike. But then, it's also the one we most strongly associate with the bike's identity.
> someone put in their full name (not their real name btw) as "S. Ryan Jackson" and when they send out emails it reads as "S. wants to collaborate with you"

There’s nothing wrong with "S. Ryan Jackson wants to collaborate with you"
But what churn? I started using Webpack, Express, TypeScript and React around 2013/2014. I still use the exact same stack. The only difference is that my config files are simpler now. React switched to functions/hooks but class components still work; all of my code from the beginning runs just fine and the professional projects I worked on continue to be developed.

I switched from classic .NET Framework because they deprecated WinForms and WPF was not usable and they churned the entire damn platform and replaced it with alpha-quality software. How many UI frameworks, and how much other churn happened in the past 11 years there? Way too much, everybody is so fed up that the past decade of my career consisted of rewriting desktop apps to this stack.

NPM makes it quite easy to publish anything and for others to start using it. Just don't, stick with the proven solutions. There's - adjusted for user base - the same or worse amount of churn on Pypi and Nuget. If you wouldn't choose a random library nobody uses in the C# land, don't do it in the Node land. At least the Node libs continue to grow, while the Nuget stuff continues to die.
Out of interest, why use this over rsync?
Maybe we can reverse engineer Windows to source code from the DLLs and exes.

And then take the open source, remove recall and other useless features and compile a stripped down version.

The same applies to blobby drivers.

They also feel extremely different to the touch. Capybaras have really rough coats! They're not soft at all.

Same. When I’m actively coding I have a sense of relationships and how things fit together, and I often discover problems by a sense that things aren’t fitting together the way I expected. Then I have to look closer.

When I think out a problem I tend to do so in words rather than diagrams, on paper, or in Obsidian (or the FreeMind mind-mapper, which is really just a graphical outliner) until I have the whole thing in my head and all the relations are clear in my head. I don’t mean that I picture them, but everything fits together and I know it. By then I can write down and implement the solution.

It’s a very non-visual process, and I can’t really explain just what’s going on in my head. I think of it as loading the problem into my back-brain, which then condescends to let me know certain things about it. The actual structures, if you can call them that, are mostly hidden from my conscious mind.

But it works. I’ve been at this for four decades, and I’ve a reputation for writing reliable code. But it’s deeply weird, even to me.

You said "incredibly regressive", which is what I disagree with.

It's at best slightly regressive—the fee is $5.60, so it's not like it's substantially raising the price of a ticket for someone who can already afford one in the first place. And the fee does scale with income to a small degree in that the higher your income the more frequent your flights tend to be.

Could it be a percentage of the ticket price? Possibly, though I'm not sure that would elicit fewer complaints. But it's already in the bottom quartile of regressiveness in how we do taxes in this country, so calling it "incredibly regressive" is either a clear exaggeration or a sign that you have no idea how bad the tax situation is here.
I'm amazed that people still fall for the PR stories from Elom.
The only universally useful advice is "all good advice is context dependent". SOFA is a good idea when you are learning, or when you want to have fun or feel inspired. It is obviously terrible advice if, you know, you need to finish things because other people only care about finished things.
You are confusing the people who you think use ebikes vs the ones who are actually using it. I'm not sure about the future but ebike riders are generally people who would never bike to begin with or who couldn't do the trip ahead of them with a normal bike.

And if a previous bike user switches to ebikes, generally they would have been considering another alternative instead (e.g. Motorbike, car, public transport, etc.)
I recently bought an ebike and realized as I bought it that I was buying a bike that had a limited lifespan because I won't be able to replace the batteries once they stop making that model

it cost more than 4x my regular bike and that was at 45% of its list price because it was used
This is where Lisp-like languages excel with macros. An example in Clojure:

I think it’s great that there is more than one project in this space. Sapling is pretty cool too, though I haven’t used it as much.

I've been using Zen for around 2 months now as I mentally prepare to leave Google Chrome, and I have been pleasantly surprised. A few annoyances:

* there are bugs-- for example, I have been unable to launch Zen and I just get the bouncy icon on my macos task bar.

* when using the minimal tab view on the left hand pane, you cannot easily close tabs on a laptop because there is no "X" on hover-over

* for some reason youtube is less reactive than chrome. when I watch YT vids I frequently tap the right arrow key to skip ahead a few seconds, and there is a noticeable delay between zen and chrome. For now, I continue to use Chrome for YT videos.
Thankfully. Azor (NL) and Achielle (BE) to name just two brands available in the Netherlands today. My Achielle is over ten years old now and requires only minimal maintenance. It's also one of the few brands with 70cm frames in their line-up! Great for tall people.
Definitely, I've had my bicycle for about ten years; after a couple of years I replaced almost everything with parts from the frame I had for about seven years before that. I don't consider that I have that bicycle any more, and I would say that I have the same one now that I bought rideable, even though I didn't keep any moving parts from it.

Also, people speak languages other than English, and things like Unicode normalization mean that identical characters can be encoded differently depending on what's being used to type the password in, and I'd be willing to bet most websites don't handle that properly. Not to mention non-latin alphabets, which can be even messier. Good luck explaining to someone that the reason their bank's website isn't matching their password is due to there being two ways to encode "olá" (and there isn't a good way to use a specific one, or know which one was used to set the password!)

This is a solution I could put up with as long as it wasn't being run by a company (and especially not an SV-type company, and doubly so with Worldcoin specifically). That requires me to have a ton more trust in them than I can summon.

If we have to have something like this, I want it to be run by governments instead. Governments already have our identity information anyway, so I wouldn't be leaking any data to a new entity, and if the government is remotely democratic in nature, the citizenry has more say in how things are done than they do with companies.

Their argument is that Matt admitted multiple times in public that he banned them from the systems in order to coerce them into paying for a completely unrelated trademark license which they don't actually need. They argue that that qualifies as extortion, which is explicitly called out in CFAA.

Zim is very much based on the file system. Each note is a text file and if it has attachments or embedded images they go into a folder named after that text note.

Whilst not in markdown the markup used is easy to understand and convert. Zim itself allows you to copy a note to the clipboard in pandoc markdown and export the note to markdown and/or html (though admittedly the styling for html it atrocious).

Show HN: Never Launch Without a Waitlist
Hey!

I've recently launched Waitlister, an app for creating product launch waitlist in minutes (or seconds if you wish to).

Why you should build a waitlist before you launch your product? Because,

- it'll help you validate your idea before spending too much time on building,
- get first users that will potentially convert/sign up as soon as you launch,
- and you can generate more buzz for your launch than you could without one.

How does Waitlister help you with this? With it, you can:

- create a hosted landing page,
- create an embeddable waitlist form,
- send automatic welcome emails,
- send email broadcasts to keep subscribers engaged/updated,
- incentivize virality with referrals,
- and more...

Hope you'll find it useful.
