> nobody gives a flying fuck about the underlying technology

That's the thing about money and value.

Value is a social construct.

Value is not created by the underlying technology.

Value comes from collective agreement among human beings.

That's why copying a coin doesn't automatically make the copy valuable.
This is true for most Gnome themes, but I used Chicago95 (on XFCE) for 3 years and could count the "jank" on one hand: https://github.com/grassmunk/Chicago95
Thanks for following up. Free Basics is the only one I remembered, but as you said it looks like there were multiple efforts. Your Smart link is good evidence that it's ongoing at some level. I don't know the carrier business, but to me it seems unlikely that a carrier would offer free Facebook access without getting something back from Facebook.
The people running Bitcoin came together to fix things they didn't like, rolling back some 20+ blocks in the process, at least twice. The people running Ethereum have no problem with scams and child porn and drugs and money laundering, but hacking the DAO, that's unacceptable and was reversed.

This is a great point. I think what you're really responding to is that it's a game without clear rules, and so part of the "game" is thinking about creative interpretations of the rules themselves and pushing the boundary of what others originally assumed the rules to be.

Granted there is creativity in this sort of game -- indeed, most "games" in life are like this -- but it's quite a different thing from winning a game with clearly defined rules like chess, or this game with the set of allowed operations specified up front.

The country is almost 340 million people.

That’s 340,000,000 individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and geographies.

They wake up every morning and go about their lives. Things like planes need to stay in the air, water needs to be clean, trains need to not derail in the middle of towns, dams need to stay not only structurally sounds but in some cases keep producing electricity.

The USA is the fourth largest country by area in the entire world.

To say that the government is too big and complex and it should be smaller and simpler feels like a drastic oversimplification and incredibly simple thing to say.
And how do you expect enforcement of anti-trust laws to happen without headcount and money?

The Chicago school Republicans were responsible for dismantling and starving the institutions meant to enforce these laws; then every Republican did their part to help install judges hostile to said laws. This has been going on for 40 or more years.

The MAGA conservatives are actively allied with these pro-monopoly conservatives, willfully blind, and instead just blame “the other side”.

I agree bi-partisan work
is needed here, but pretending this will happen when one party is actively undermining the effort is bad-faith smoke-and-mirrors.

Unless, of course, we take the dictatorship route and ignore rule-of-law and checks-and-balances… (for the record, which I’m very much opposed to).
It’s still isometric, luckily. I always wanted to have Ultima VII with Ultima VIII perspective, and this is kind of a superset of that.

I could live with the jank and functionality if it would stay consistent over time - but you know it's going to be broken at the next GNOME update, and the next version won't just suck more, but the theme will also not quite work anymore and it's like multiple papercuts every time. Nowadays I have xmonad, xterm and emacs and a few gnome apps but I would replace them in a heartbeat if they annoyed me enough.
That's going to be great. Many dead cars by the side of the road, and not moving cars is good for the environment. (yes the cat will also be destroyed but as a bonus so will your o2 sensors and possibly the rest of the engine with it, turbo's also do not like it)
Seems like a silly self-imposed limitation.
Ask HN: How to develop better technical decision-making as a beginner?
I'm at that intermediate stage - comfortable with programming concepts and implementation. I can build functional applications and understand how things work. Not a beginner, but not yet where I want to be.

Most online content seems heavily skewed towards complete beginners or specific tools/frameworks. I'm looking to grow as a developer in general - not just learn another technology.

The gap I'm struggling with isn't technical knowledge - it's about making better engineering decisions and writing better code. I want to understand how to design robust applications, choose the right approaches for real-world scenarios, and make informed technical decisions when faced with multiple valid solutions.

What pushed you beyond the basics phase? Please share your advice about the same.
And the benefits the USA has vs Hungary in the for mof stronger checks also leads to a wait and see attitude. We are all hoping the judiciary will stop the flagrant violations of law, and that some how two more years of foreign brainwashing in the media,that will now be completely uncontested will somehow lead to candidates that actually respect the rule of law. If the judiciary appears to put up a good front for long enough before capitulating, and the legislature pretends they might stop the worst abuses for long enough, everyone will just be comfortable with the new normal.

I live where the water barely gets warm enough to swim in during the summer, so kayaking is often a dry suit activity. When I was taking a class I had quite a time staying cool. Some people flip on purpose, or you just shove as much of an arm into the water as you can and wait. A dry suit makes 50°F water feel like a crisp morning with still air, instead of torture.

Water inside reduces that insulation. I wore my synthetic base layers underneath just in case.

I remember the massive PITA that was running KDE with Gnome apps (or vice versa). The eyesore was unbelievable, and the official fixes required installing extra bridge themes, that tried to unify the look of everything, which of course wasn't perfect. This is better now, but even in 2025 GParted looks wrong under KDE, and this is sad.
I think my preference is more towards conciseness.

I made a stack machine with single character instructions and needed to solve a variation of this problem. I had just the digits 0 through 9. The characters '23' would be push 2 followed by push 3. To actually represent the number 23 you would use

45*3+
or something similar.

That left me with the problem of how to encode each integer in the fewest characters.

Tools at hand.

The digits 0 through 9
'P': Pi
'*': (a * b),
'/': (a / b),
'-': (a - b),
'+': (a + b),
's': sin(a),
'c': cos(a),
'q': sqrt(a),
'l': log(a),
'~': abs(a),
'#': round(a),
'$': Math.floor(a),
'C': clamp(a),

'<': min(a, b),
'>': max(a, b),
'^': pow(a, b),
'a': atan2(a, b),
'%': positiveMod(a, b),
'!': (1 - a),
'?': (a <= 0 ? 0 : 1)
'o': a xor b scaled by c; ((a*c) xor (b*c))/c

'd': duplicate the top stack entry
':': swap the top two stack entries
';': swap the top and third stack entries

I have wondered about revisiting the stack machine with a complex number stack to see what I can come up with.

(Next time I post something like this I am not going to use my phone)
On the condition that boundaries are pushed.

I say this with partial ignorance though. I don't know that particular field. Generally, the number of drop outs at grad school is notoriously quite high across the entire spectrum. How much has the needle moved given what feels like a coin flip shot of completing an advanced study in all respective fields?

There's more graduates than ever before too. It will trend sharply down over the next few years, not necessarily because of the loss grants from the US government, but because of the birth glut that has been looming since 2008.
But this assumes that Docker provides _no_ advantages in time-savings, which is simply false. The person who recently responded to me noted that themselves. There are several scenarios where Docker is superior, especially in cases with external dependencies.

My point is that the universal argument that Docker is inferior to manually copying binaries is flawed. It's usually put forward by people who fit in the narrow scenario where that happens to be true. If we can agree that both options have trade-offs, and that a team should pick the option that best fits their constraints, then I think that's pretty much where most of the world sits in thinking. There are extremists on both sides, but their views are just that, extreme.
Toilets. Pottery outlasts everything else.
I know, I have similar issues with the world we're living in.

But that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with my brain, just different.

I can imagine a world where none of these problems exist.
> Why does Musk have the authority to do this?

Because nobody has stopped him. That may change, but until it does, he can kinda do whatever he wants.
The tangible value is that I support a locally owned business (the money i spend stays in the community), can use it as a third space (as you correctly pointed out) to find like-minded individuals, and above all else, be in a space where everyone isn't glued to their phones.
Yeah. Progressive web apps are a great way to hedge bets on this. They also bypass App Store censorship, binary tampering, etc.

Maybe someone will revive firefox os or build a better successor to it.

Ideally, there’d be a law saying that any government service (direct, or contracted out, so including infrastructure like parking and EV charging) must be offered via a PWA that works in EurOS, iOS and Android.
Given that education funding dwarfs foreign aid and is affected, it would seem inaccurate to label it as "generally foreign aid".

The other point is just because a contract or award is on usaspending.gov doesn't mean the funds are flowing - that was my point, my partner's school has many awards that previously they could draw from at will, and receive money overnight. They've attempted to draw from many of them now, and the funds just ... aren't being transferred.

That was part of the furore, "we have agreements and obligations in place and you're just refusing to fund them", it's not about the existence of the awards in the first place.
Not scientific, but when I snoop, I most often see the thumb scrolling and various incarnations of the video shorts apps like TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram, and Snapchat.

Interesting. Coming from a country where most people vote purely based on their ideologies, I wish they would vote more for policies. Grass, green, etc, I suppose.
Sure. The thing is, sometimes social sentiment changes.

Fiat tends to remain stable and valuable, because it is carefully managed to that end, and is the legally sanctioned method to extinguish debt and pay taxes.

Crypto is nothing but magic beans and a bad database. If its value falls, there's nothing to stop the fall but sentiment.

Hacker News’ submission character limit does not accommodate the full title. “Borrowing from a tactic at X, Elon Musk says government workers must detail their workweek or lose their jobs”

This submission is on topic and should not be flagged, because this is relevant to Musk’s takeover of Twitter and the management changes he introduced there. Prior submissions about the Twitter takeover [1] and Musk’s management philosophy at X [2] have usually been permitted, unflagged, on Hacker News in the past.

So, it seems HN would permit this submission to remain unflagged. Snd if not, it would benefit the community for HN to explain the reasons why.

1. Funding and Industrial Coordination:

If we can make cars, airliners and cruise ships, we can make military equipment.

Swedish gear is actually a good template: license manufacturing of what’s needed criss-crossing the Alliance, and joint develop new generation equipment and technologies as necessary.

After all, it’s being done since Concorde and goes on today - we just need to increase the scale.

Brazil was playing both sides, much like Sweden. Profiting from the war while staying out of it. Brazil only joined the war because the US gave big loans to Brazil to fund the creation of steelworks factories to kickstart the steel production in the country. The sinking of the ships was just the official excuse to declare war, but Brazil was aligned with the US a few years before that.

From:
https://guides.loc.gov/brazil-us-relations/brazil-world-war-...

> Foreign Minister Oswaldo Aranha's five-week visit to the United States earlier in the year secured Brazil substantial lines of credit, loans, and technical assistance for the development of Brazilian rubber and mining industries. On September 26, 1940 the United States and Brazil signed agreement for the financing and construction of the Volta Redonda steel mill. By the end of 1940, Brazil had privately resolved to throw its lot in with the Allies.

I recommend reading the whole article, very interesting. I remember my history teacher in high school actually teaching this (he mentioned only steel, not rubber), I am very surprised this fact is downplayed and a lot of Brazilians don't know about it. I remember my teacher also mentioning that Brazil tried to secure similar deals with Germany but with no luck, but I can't find any sources for that.

There's a difference between taking action to minimize your personal taxes and taking action to shape overall tax policy. The examples you give are the former.

On the policy side, while it's true that both parties have been reluctant to raise taxes, I think it's clear that since the Reagan era, it's Republicans who have moved most aggressively to lower taxes, and in ways that disproportionately lower the taxes of the wealthy.

I hear you.

Imagine I give you a Ferrari and it's your only car. It gets 4 MPG, tires need replacing at $15,000 every 4 months and you live in the city with hills and stop and go traffic, and you don't really know how to drive stick (when you were in driving training they said 'I'm sure you can figure it out' and focused on the other people). Sweet car, but it's not really the 'gift' that it seems.

Sorry, its my fault for introducing light into a discussion about electric current. In fiber optics I believe they add "cladding" to achieve "total internal reflection" that somehow keeps the light going - not sure how it stays coherent though! And in electronics, I assume that the boundary of the conductor with non-conductor (e.g. air) provides a similar function. I've heard that conductors conduct almost entirely on their surface, another curious effect I'd like to undersatnd, and I'd also be curious if any applications use hollow tubes to conduct large currents and save on weight.
