I largely exited the standard food supply about two years ago after my partner developed a number of food allergies including Celiac. It has been altogether a wonderful experience. Our mix has been since then around 50% from farmers' markets, 20% bulk goods from an organic grocer, 20% we grow ourselves (or more between June and August), and at most 10% from a high-end butcher. Our expenditures have increased only minimally (from ~10 to 12% of income; we are graduate students so it is relatively high). We now spend less time overall getting food: we spend ~1 hr a week the farmers' market (and see friends at the same time) and ~1 hr a month at the grocery store. The butcher takes about 10 minutes a week. Charcuterie like chicken confit and smoked duck breast keeps for weeks so we can keep a supply in the fridge; between this and the bulk goods we never make extra runs to the grocery store.

Some observations on the transition:
-Expensive fresh items are easy to grow in small amounts of space (e.g. herbs, berries)
-"discrete meat is a treat": we eat steaks, fillets, etc. less frequently and instead use stocks, bake vegetables in animal fats, fry veggie cakes, and the like instead
-Charcuterie is amazing: pork and chicken are relatively expensive, and a lot of the French preparations take very little time to prepare to serve
-Fruits and vegetables at farmers' markets are only marginally more expensive
-Our farmer's markets are a mixture of certified organic and conventional produce. We buy both, what matters more is that it is small-scale.
-Growing your own isn't for everyone, and is certainly more expensive than buying it through a store (factoring in opportunity cost for time and land, and you don't get economies of scale). However, I would recommend it as a hobby to pretty much anyone on HN: I spend 8-12 hours a day on a computer, so spending 2-4 hours a week planting things, pruning fruit trees, thinking through drip irrigation systems, and learning about soil ecology is a ton of IRL fun.

We are very conscious that our diet is not 'natural' or in some way a reversion to older ways of life. I can get ridiculously cheap drip irrigation equipment on Amazon Prime delivered to my door, many of the vendors at the farmer's market take Stripe, and there's no such thing as a crop failure in mid 21st century coastal California. Our food system is what's next, no what came before.

I don't understand why this matters? In every transaction, there is a buyer and a seller. Even if Columbia divests, someone else is buying in.

The bigger impact is if no one buys newly issued equity.

The biggest impact is stopping them from collecting revenue, i.e. stopping the government from having privately run, for-profit prisons.

I was always intending to pay for Sublime but I no longer use it, now using vim for all of my editing needs.

Opinions on nagware aside, Sublime is a good tool and I did feel bad about using it to make a living and not contributing.. but I was also afraid to get too attached to a closed source editor. I think maybe sublime is kind of in a deadzone of being a nagware text editor that is free to use, but not an IDE with a huge feature set for an ecosystem that requires it, or an IDE that accesses some kind of propeitary vender-locked tech stack. For everything that's good about it, ultimately it's just a text editor and there are a lot of text editors of similar power out there if you're not looking for a sexy GUI.

So, I have no idea.
I, for one, wish we had more memoirs of those who lived behind the Iron Curtain and the philosophies espoused by those countries in practice. I have an uncomfortable feeling that knowledge is dying out. :-/

That's a false dichotomy. You basically say that the stubborness usually comes from a deeper understanding, which is a ungrounded assumption at the very least.

Lets reverse your example:
If five people on your team think it's ok to accept logins via HTTPS and one person says "uh no, HTTP is enough, and also cheaper and faster" would you ignore what he or she says, because the other five disagree?

I've seen countless people arguing even before looking at the code for example, or advocating software solutions they never tried.

I've also seen people frustrated enough by the pointless arguing that happens in some workplaces to just give up on their opinion and switching to the try-to-limit-damages mode.

The problem is one of character and team collaboration, not a merely technical one.

Eclipse Foundation announces Mars release train
"Regardless, I would gladly pay twice as much for the device if it came already set up. I am very pro-hobbyist, but in this case I want a fully formed product."

So something as simple as a Raspberry Pi B+ ($25), an OmniVESA (approx $7), a USB WiFi dongle (approx $9), a 4GB MicroSDHC card (approx $6), a micro USB charger (approx $4) and a short HDMI cable (approx $7). Total cost $58. Could add a cheap case if you wanted. Perhaps there are ways to do all this cheaper with an Android mini PC, but a RasPi setup would be very flexible, and wouldn't require too much setup. It's also easy to boot straight into a web browser (can find some distro recommendations here https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=8502...).

What you write may be true: spy agencies feel like they can spy on everyone else, but everyone else can't spy on their country. Or something.

But that position is illogical: according to USA laws NSA can spy on everyone else, according to UK laws, GCHQ can spy on everyone else, etc. And everyone points fingers at everyone else for "breaking the law". That position leads to immediate contradictions. Also, it's a "Well, they're right because they're OUR guys" sort of thing.

Once you take the "OUR guys are RIGHT and YOUR guys are WRONG" position, there's no limits, just insufficient imagination to justify anything weird, dangerous, unethical and in a larger sense, immoral.

Math is immutable. Feelings aren't.

I'd rather work with a guy driven to be technically correct and ruthless about describing why than someone who throws garbage in or allows garbage in, just to make me feel better about myself and have a better relationship.
They kept me for about 6 hours. Mainly because I phoned up a lawyer and told them I wouldn't be speaking to them unless he arrived. Took the lawyer a few hours to get there.
Interestingly, I feel like the more experienced I've gotten the less I find there to be "technically right" decisions. There are just trade-offs and picking the set of trade-offs that make the most sense at the time of the decision making is the best you can do.

That decision may turn out to be wrong for a wide variety of reasons, most of which do not invalidate the decision at the time it was made.

When I was less experienced, I thought there were right answers and I strove to get to them. Now I just want to be explicit about the trade-offs I'm making.
When I started using Sublime it seemed that the new version was just around the corner, and I thought there would probably be some sort of release (or near release) discount just around the corner as well.

Then the project went silent, came back, but had this weird we're back but we are mostly telling it to paying customers, so it was a bit confusing what was going on. I'm kinda still waiting to see if I should switch editor or if the release of sublime3 will reawaken the plugin ecosystem.

tl;dr: bad excuses.
Honestly the coding was never the hard part, and it becomes less so every year as the tooling gets better. Making a product that people want is the hard part.

not that i completely disagree with your vision of future, there are many +- lovely fantasy projections out there. but let's get back from utopia to this harsh real world we live in. People like you always point to just things that are wrong with this system (and let's agree on this, there are plenty) and come up with star trekkish almost perfect world where all is nice and super cool, without thinking a bit (or at least sharing with rest of us), HOW THE HECK DO YOU WANT TO GET THERE? FROM HERE?

I mean from this, current world, that is not only, but also thanx to US command-and-conquer approach burning, and that fire will hurt many of us for generations to come? Some iterative, realistic steps please, that could be voted through on various parts of this planet, by populations with vastly different mentality than yours (and mine).

How do you know that McDonald workers want just this and don't have higher aspirations? And btw I am not aware of any country that has McDonald franchise open that people are dying from hunger on streets, there are always options for survival. In many of those, people can reach practically all human knowledge with a tap on screen of a phone. What if they want a brand new ferrari and feel like they really need it? or "only" BMW? who will decide what is good or not? YOU??

Many doomsday stories here don't reflect fuildity of our existence - things really don't change overnight, more like over generation. politicians have a lot of power, and last time i checked they still got voted by humans. so for example why don't you consider this slight possibility, that when situation will come worse, something will change in our system and we won't continue same direction blindly? I for one have +- confidence that, with some oscilations, will move in proper direction, whatever that will be.

> Because someone wrote an SQL query with string interpolation of variables and no escaping. Why? Because the values at that time were actually coming from a limited set and were safe to provide that way. Yet I argued that it should be a prepared query anyway, so that we avoid it potentially exploding in the future.

I'm curious if you had coding standards (internally developed, or adopted from another party / standard) that stated best practice?

In my experience, an objective standard is really important in these discussions. If you did, and they wanted to avoid it, was it referred to? If you didn't, was developing a standard taken as a learning point to be adopted in the future, or not pursued?

In Angular you'd assign a property called $inject to make "DI" still work even with minification, so it's not really an issue.Or you can explicitly pass a array with dependency names when a service is registered.

So there is no issue here.

Now I don't know how Famous works and i'm not interested in using that 2M dollars vaporware. I'm just saying.
This happens when someone's job is deeply tied to their identity. I find that people who have a separation between their self-identify, and what they do for work are less likely to get defensive when their technical "correctness" is questioned. People who suffer from job-identity are also more likely to adopt the "You don't understand why I am right, because I am smarter than you" stance.

If it feels like someone who questions your opinion is attacking you personally, take a step back, and remember that you won't convince anyone you are correct by insulting their intelligence.
I find the categorization of masculine and feminine words in this tool to be very presumptuous.

This is what I got from a few random JD samples.

Masculine Words
- manage
- manages
- under pressure
- best-in-class
- whatever it takes
- drive to
- exhaustive
- overseeing

Feminine Words
- community
- interpersonal
- be part of
- serves
- strive
- care
- encourages
- connection
- helpful
- comfortable

Isn't this just enforcing false assumptions about gender differences rather than preventing gender bias? Who is to say that women don't want to oversee, manage, or have the drive to be the "best-in-class"? Who is to say that men aren't interested in fostering community, working in teams, being helpful and caring?

Utrecht is indeed great and really pretty. It's where I usually take people visiting NL, cause I always feel like a tourist myself when in Amsterdam, plus it's only 15-20 minutes by train.

Rotterdam is so huge that it really depends where you look :) I've heard an equal amount of love and hate stories :)

And other recommendations ... as I try to think of some, I realize it's pretty much a list of the rest of medium-large cities in the Netherlands. Unless you don't like cities, in which case maybe check out a tourist or bicycle guide. Try the province of Friesland for some real pretty non-city places? But there's so many others, just pick a spot, any spot, then Google it. The Netherlands isn't that big ;-)

You might have sensitive information you need contained in your network.

It get's expensive very fast.
I think you're on to something. There's enough magnetic field there to levitate a couple hundred pounds. It you can shape that field electronically, or even by interposing the right kind of material, it might be possible to create some lateral force.
If the price point gets too low, the IPv4 address might become the bottleneck. Bandwidth is cheap, power is cheap for a device like this, and the space could be very low. So you might get close enough to the sun to hit the IPv4 cost limit.

Keep in mind you can buy a much more powerful machine than this from Amazon or Microsoft for around $10 all in (yes, running Windows). So they'd have to be looking around $5 and IPv4 addresses can cost $1.5-2/each.
I think that's an excellent issue to be stubborn about. Even if the string interpolation didn't matter in that situation, whatever alternative you were using, an orm or prepared queries, must have been equally convenient. So the reason your colleague used string interpolation must have been because he didn't knew about the better alternatives. Then insisting on him refactoring his code to use prepared queries is correct because for a small time-investment he learns to use the correct api:s and can write better quality code in the future.

Protecting personal feelings over the correct technical decision is the wrong thing to ask of someone that is hired to make the correct technical decisions.

I am dogmatic, stubborn until proven wrong, and I can be perceived as difficult if I know that the product/consumers will be sacrificed only so sensitive people feels better.

Having said that, there are ways and ways to discuss differences. There are many ways to deal with conflict resolution.

So far, every time I have been asked to come back and train the rest of the team.
I can agree with that. Every option is likely to have pros and cons. If you know what they all are, you can make the choice based on which cons you can live with, and which pros are the most important to you.

Deadline-driven development? At least for security, that sounds like a dangerous approach. What if something that's not the first priority but is still important doesn't make the cut?

In almost all cases, it's not that they're dogmatic, stubborn, or difficult just for the sake of it. Don't make it personal and imagine them to be poor empathizers or know-it-alls.

By shouting and getting frustrated, they're really just demonstrating that you and they have poor communication skills - in both directions. They either aren't actually understanding the broad requirements for the decision being made, and/or aren't really articulating why their take on it really is the right way to do it. They have the confidence to think that their solution is the right one for the problem as they understand it -- which is why they get loud and forceful -- but don't make legitimate progress in decision making because either the problem or solution just isn't making its way across the table effectively.

Poor communication skills are indeed very hard to deal with and rampant among people across all divisions. They may be the ones who are having a hard time regulating their emotional investment into the debate, but there are things you can do to make them more comfortable and better heard.

Does the interviewer, or anyone for that matter, actually think Elon Musk will be the first person on Mars? Seems like a weird question to ask, I guess its just for the headline. I think I remember him saying something like not wanting to risk the fate of the company just for the experience of going. I could be completely off on that though.
Yes. Yes. Yes.

It would be ideal if everyone was pleasant and accommodating of everyone else's ideas at all times. There are usually ways to 'win' or otherwise arrive at the correct solution without having to browbeat everyone into submission. IMO the people who can do this tend to be good at a lot of other things; they are just talented people, and in my experience end up being the 'good' higher level management and technical leadership.

That said, I think you are seriously oversimplifying the work environment. People are frequently overworked; or participating in a group where other people are trying to make decisions they don't have the experience to make (but don't realize it); or are having decisions made in front of them about the effort they will expend towards x, without their input, by people who do not understand what they are asking and/or don't care; or are otherwise not being given the level of respect they deserve. Consider that some of these people take a lot of pride in what they do and are personally invested in the success of their work. Consider that over time, in this situation, these people may become grumpy and combative.

And that's just in the work environment. I don't personally have a work/life balance, but other people I know do have this and sometimes their personal troubles bleed over into their work behavior. We're not all able to compartmentalize.

This is a long-winded way of asking you not to jump to the conclusion that there is something wrong with the personality of your grumpy coworker. Consider that maybe it's an effect, and that you could even have helped cause it.
