I've yet to see a CoC used for good (sample bias I know). You don't need a CoC to ban and remove fuck sticks from your spaces. But you do need one if you want to ban someone who crime was doing something you found offensive. Offensive here is doing a lot of heavy lifting. I don't mean something actually objectionable, I mean something manufactured, where it's reasonable and worthy of a friendly conversation when you assume good faith, or something that's barely enough to trigger some part of the CoC to be used as a weapon. CoC give unfair power to people who want to be offended, and want to choose to assume bad faith, and abuse people they disagree with.

Yes, CoC as they commonly exist are bad because they're a net negatively tool that can be abused.

I don't apply that to all of them, I have a back burner idea to write one that can't be abused in the same way the popular and ambiguously written ones are. The primary issue is because they're written to be ambiguous so they can catch edge cases, and curated behavior intended to evade a more specific CoC. But that's not hard to fix. If you want your CoC to be fair, and just. It needs to have rules to prevent a single person from strongarming, and using it against an individual. It needs to have explicit tests and requirements for any fact finder to prove a violation, and demand a clear rational. One of these tests could easily be a pattern of behavior, and a finding this behavior is more likely to be designed specifically to evade this CoC than organic behavior, and that can serve as a single reason to implement a response. None of the ones I've read try to put the accusers on a fair rhetorical field as their targets. they're all written as if they they would never be abused by someone in bad faith, but that's not the reality we live in. Too many people enjoy pretending to be the victim, while actually being the bully.

Get an EV instead

Be choosy about the EV, not all of them have this feature (Tesla, for instance, doesn’t last I checked). That said, after we got our Hyundai (and the vehicle-to-load adapter), I sold our generator to a neighbor. Less than a year later, we both got to test our electrical backups.

Hopefully you were going to buy an EV anyway, because a nice generator is about $1000. A Hyundai Ioniq 5 is considerably more than that.

There's nothing fundamentally different about the "passive-agressive" license compared to other licenses.

All software licenses work the same way:

- you'd normally be forbidden (by copyright law) to copy the code;

- the only thing that allows you to copy the code is the license;

- the license has terms that you have to agree to in order to be allowed to copy the code.

A license might have terms that are unenforceable (the most extreme example is something like demanding you to give up an unalienable right), that's the domain of contract law. But "you agree to refrain from running the executable" doesn't seem egregious, I doubt it would be unenforceable.
Your site covers perhaps the most oversaturated genre of Internet content: ad-stuffed K-Pop sites.

From a sociological perspective, the interesting thing about this to me is that it is reflective of a major sea change. The era WW2 to ~2010 was characterized by an adulation of science, and in the collective mentality science was associated with atheism. But atheism is an outlier in world (and esp American) history. As a conservative Christian I think that Thiel's theology is deeply flawed, as are the theologies of many, many others. But there is no longer, it seems, a taboo against spirituality, broadly understood. One of science's heroes is Isaac Newton, but he was into all sorts of occult spirituality. I say: If you've decided to become open to the idea of God actually existing, read the Gospel of John, and perhaps listen to Alistair Begg's 1990 sermons on 1 John.

By the way, people gave Donald Trump a hard time for saying "Two Corinthians" during his first run for the presidency. I think it is actually just a British (or Scottish) thing! You'll hear Begg say "One John".
Some years back, I was driving to the town of Apt, in a hilly area of Provence. I was on a secondary road and going roughly the speed limit, maybe a little more. I was passed on a curvy section of road like I was standing still by a woman who was simultaneously smoking, talking on her phone and examining her face in the mirror. It was an amazing display of needless risk and even though I was alone, I started laughing.

The Vietnam era is totally different. LeMay and Powers were sociopaths whose goal was to nuke things and intercept things that would nuke the US. Survivability wasn’t really a consideration - assuming you finished nuking the Soviets, there would be nothing to return to.

The needs of Vietnam required different tactics, and the airmen paid in blood for the myopic vision of the leaders.
Remember that having PV isn't enough, you also need to have the circuitry to disconnect your house from the grid, because your personal panels probably don't have the capacity to power the entire grid on their own (plus it wouldn't be safe for line workers to have random pockets of energy in a grid that's supposed to be down).
Exactly! And even a possible mechanism for the Universal Translator (as long as you don't Darmok your Tanagras too hard).
They also allow you to package up and share your entire development environment and all the tooling you use with it.

That means that someone coming into a project has nothing to setup on their local machine - runtimes, compilers, etc.

You can use them for this reason without doing remote dev. But yes for remote dev you wouldn't even need to setup docker locally, and you're able to develop on a different architecture.
Hardware store backup generator => $500 - $2000

vs

EV => $8000 - $40000

Bidirectional charging infra => $2000 - $5000

PV => $5000 - $15000

Heat pump => $5000 - $10000

That's an awful lot of money that you're proposing people spend in order to cover a rare occurrence. Of course there's day-to-day value in having all of that which a backup generator cannot provide, but in a power outage, you'd probably rather just have the cheap gas generator, and maybe a $1000-ish "solar generator" (i.e. battery pack with inverter) that you can use to load-shift the generator. Run the genny during the day to charge the battery; run the fridge, lights, and phone charger from the battery overnight.
Giant flywheels exist, in some systems, which can easily start or restart backup diesel generators on the fly, though probably not for whole grids.

A bit of decentralization goes a long way.

This is such a fallacy of "If it is evil, it must be competent". Did you actually look at the software? In no universe can you confidently infer that it's a "really great implementation", it's childish at best. You're just assuming it so you can make the rest of your argument.

Maybe? Co-locating teams that work on a singular thing physically clearly has advantage for some organizations.

But yes, mixing remote and on-premise and expecting it to produce improvements is broken. Or being done for the wrong reasons.

Also, I've noticed that during the transition, when people have a mix of incandescent and LED, they internalize the potential efficiency of the LED, and then use the incandescent bulbs in a similar way. So the incandescent light on the hall table that's more appealing gets left on for longer periods as if it were an LED.

I'm guessing this is more common in households with legacy light fixtures and legacy nostalgias, though, and that's its own diminishing set.

Not to take away from the main point of the article, which is true but:

It seems to be at intern level according to the author - not bad if you ask me, no?

Did he try to proceed as with an intern? ie. was it a dialogue? did he try to drop in this article into prompt and see what comes out?

For skeptics my best advise is – do your usual work and at the end drop in your whole work with prompt to find issues etc. – it will be net positive result, I promise.

And yes they do get better and it shouldn't get dismissed – the most fascinating part is precisely just that – not even their current state, but how fast they keep improving.

One part which always bothers me a bit with this type of arguments – why on earth are we assuming that human does it 100% correctly? Aren't humans also making similar mistakes?

IMHO there is some similarity with young geniuses – they get tons of stuff right and it's impressive however total, unexpected failures occur which feel weird – in my opinion it's a matter of focused training similar to how you'd teach a genius.

It's worth taking step back and recognizing in how many diverse contexts we're using (like now, today, not in 5 years) models like grok3 or claude3.7 – the goalpost seem to have moved to "beyond any human expert on all subjects".
I think I did something like that creating a couple of pokemon card type layouts in html where you could change the pics. In my day we often typed programs in from books/mags and then changed stuff. Maybe you could create a simple web layout and let them change names, colours and all that stuff.

My kids both did scratch from an early age at school maybe 6-7.

I think my son would be kind of interested in minecraft modding or creating fortnite games, better to make/do something like that that relates to their interests. If they like birds make a wildlife detector etc!

To be honest I've not got massive amount of enthusiasm for this kind of stuff but would support them if they were interested!

> The lawsuit describes Automattic and Mullenweg’s conduct as an abuse of the open-source internet architecture, alleging that “a single individual (Matt Mullenweg) exercises apparent singular control over what they claim to be more than 40% of all websites in the world through his personal website (WordPress.org).” It calls this level of control “an appalling deception” that is “contrary to every conceivable public policy.”

That seems like a specious argument to me. There's no deception involved as far as I can tell, and I can't see how public policy has anything to do with this. It sucks for many reasons that Wordpress powers so much of the web, but it's pretty rich for someone whose business is built on Wordpress to claim its success is an existential threat. I will not comment on what I think about a cybersecurity business that is built on a Wordpress site, as it's simply not relevant.

> Are Late-Stage Bugs More Expensive?

> (...) While there's no smoking gun, I think the body of research so far tentatively points in that direction, depending on how you interpret "late-stage", "bugs", and "more expensive". This is a newsletter, not a research paper, so I'll keep it all handwavey. Here's the rough approach I took to reach that conclusion:

> Some bugs are more expensive than others. You can sort of imagine it being a Gaussian, or maybe a power law: most bugs are relatively cheap, a few are relatively expensive. We'd mine existing projects to create bug classifications, or we'd interview software developers to learn their experiences. Dewayne Perry did one of these analyses and found the bugs that took longest to fix (6 or more days) were things like feature interaction bugs and unacceptable global performance, in general stuff that's easier to catch in requirements and software modeling than in implementation.

> I've checked a few other papers and think I'm tentatively confident in this line of reasoning: certain bugs take more time to fix (and cause more damage) than others, and said bugs tend to be issues in the design.

As I see it, this is not so much about how long the bug has been in the system but about what kind of bug it is. Unacceptable global performance or fundamentally incompatible requirements often kind of require you to restart your system from scratch, which means throwing away a lot of your code. But that doesn't mean that it's trivial to detect them (necessary to fix them) before you've written a lot of code, and throwing away all your code and design documents doesn't mean you're actually starting from scratch, because programming is theory building, not building construction. If writing "the same program" a second time takes you 30% of the time it took you to write it the first time (but the right way), in a sense you retained 70% of the work you did from the first time, even if not a line of code is the same. (Of course, a "bug" that costs 30% of the total project budget is a pretty big bug...)

Also, with iterative development, a requirements or design bug can be introduced very late in the project. Emacs has been around for 40 years but only got native-code compilation for Elisp (a huge requirements and design change containing, probably, many requirements and design bugs) in the last 6 years. 85% of Emacs development was before that. And people were testing it within months of embarking on adding it.
Oh that's the key point. I barely noticed it. OK, well, this is very literally about the first steps in how brains evolved. It's akin to theories of abiogenesis like the one involving clay crystals "reproducing". But it's steep to say this is about minds, which only works if we accept the various parts of the article that urge us to stop being so egotistical and anthropocentric as to expect that a mind should be capable of doing something clever.
Stop Word Clouds
It is not. (There are no square roots, for instance.)
It’s like the entirely of the project is completely self contained. Your host system can be running anything and you don’t need to worry about installing tools on your system to get going. You also don’t need to worry about different dev environments for different projects.

Is this a Go project and you don’t have the right Go tools installed locally? Not a problem, as it’s in the container.

Do you have multiple node/js projects and you don’t want modules or tools to overlap? Each project has its own container.

Do you work on Mac, but want to deploy on Linux? The container makes this work too. (This one is my primary usecase). With a devcontainer, I can work on my Mac without having to install dozens of homebrew packages. Better yet, I can work with others and it doesn’t matter what computer they use, as the dev environment is standardized.

If you ever used Vagrant to work in a dev VM, it’s like that… but much faster to get started.

> There is no way to look at this codebase and give any kind of feedback

Less than a minute and I know how to use it. It's not complicated. The source code is available and fairly easy. If you can't figure out how to use it in a trivial amount of time, you aren't going to be able to offer anything of value. When did HN go from being about interesting stuff to making bold, ignorant statements like "There is no way to look at this codebase and give any kind of feedback one way or the other without that understanding."

You should know better.
There is no "after the pandemic" (yet). The pandemic is still ongoing. (Source: WHO)
If the ship's current position is 200 miles from its destination and you are 400 miles from its destination, you need to go faster than it to deny the ship from its destination. Conversely, if you are 40 miles from its destination, you can go much slower, though if you go too slow you still won't make it. You have to get to a point ahead of it before it gets there, and the faster its moving, the less time you have available to get to any particular point.

Dealing with evasion is a whole other matter. A stationary iceberg can hit a ship that tries to evade if it does so too late. Conversely simple error in your knowledge of a ship's position and velocity can cause it to be miles away from where you expect it later in the journey.
> Not because of abundance, but because eating well is too expensive.

No it isn't. Eating poorly is often (much) more expensive that eating properly. Non-processed food is actually reasonably priced for the most part. Fruit and Veg is reasonably cheap. Premium cuts of meat can be expensive.

Just looking at my recent trip to the supermarket:

* A 6 pack bag of apples (Pink Ladies) was less than £1.50

* A bag of easy peeler oranges was less than £1.50

* A bag of new potatoes £2

* Large Bunch of Bananas are about ~£2

* 12 Pack of Large Eggs - ~£2.50

* 12 Rashers of Bacon - ~£2.50-4

* 1kg packet of Chicken Thighs (Raw) are ~£3.50 (2 chicken thighs a day).

* Broccoli ~£1

* Spouts ~£1

* Beans ~£1

* Berry flavoured Tea Bags ~£2

* Bag of Italian Ground Coffee ~£3-4

* 240 Pack of Yorkshire Tea Bags (will last me a month or two) ~£6

* Store brand Olive oil based Margarine ~£2

* Premium Wholemeal Loaf of Bread ~£2-3

* 4 pints of Semi Skimmed Milk £2.50

* Various table Sauces ~£1-2

That is less than £50 and I don't need to buy some of those weekly. Each day I am eating about 1800-2000 calories (I've put myself on a calorie controlled diet to lose weight) and this will last me most of the week if not the entire week.

If I buy ready meals they are £3-6 each. Premade Pizza is £4-6. So much more expensive and objectively worse for your health than cooking yourself.

One takeaway meal from the local Chinese will cost me £22 (a main and a side), Noodles will cost £7-11 depending on the dish. A pizza from the local pizza shop is £8-10. This excludes delivery. The local deli will charge me £4-5 for a meal deal (Chicken Wrap, Snack and Drink).

McDonalds is about £7 for a Big Mac Meal. KFC is similar for one of their Box Meals.

Eh? Isn’t that what the tilde (~) represents? Or am I hung up on symbology and missing your point?
I use them as a last resort. They're nice in theory but you'll lose your extensions (which you can configure but if you check it in you're imposing on everyone else...), bash history, and most debugging tools you have installed locally. Unfortunately, those are really "features" of being in a container and if you work around them it's kind of defeating the point of a container.

They're helpful for cross-architecture debugging and serving as a source of truth that the build actually works on a dev machine but definitely the ergonomics leave a bit to be desired.
