My theory is that (in current society) this starts with spreading money. That's not trivial either but it feels at least a bit more tangible to me.

I read that as a preemptive counter against any argument involving upsides; even if they are there (possibly only for or in the eyes of some of the beholders), the division and abuse of power are a(n immediate) problem (and that's putt

Yeah, I you should see the curation totally from the top, so fully dropping certain platforms is part of the curation. I mean, in essence we all already do that as certain platforms are not even considered a candidate in our 'portfolio

I remember discovering something like this in the first (?) Sim City. I must have been like 10 years old at the time. For some reason I had built so many police stations that the upkeep (was it 100 per station) was so high my monthly losses

This line had me laughing: "But that doesn't make sense because Sally can't be her own sister." Having said this, how many 'lines' of reasoning does the average human need? It's a weird comparison perhaps

Yeah I had a mid-2012 macbook pro and it lasted me almost 10 years, as a full time software dev that is. Replaced a fan, a cable and the HD to SSD, and the battery was over, but other than that kept going strong until I was sort of forced t

Sure, although I still think a system with less of a contrast between how well it performs 'modally' and how bad it performs incidentally, would be more practical. What I wonder is whether LLM's will inherently always have th

This is impressive. But at the same time, it can't count. We see this every time, and I understand why it happens, but it is still intriguing. We are so close or in some ways even way beyond, and yet at the same time so extremely far a

And: > Whether the positive effect of sun exposure demonstrated in this observational study is mediated by vitamin D, another mechanism related to ultraviolet radiation, or by unmeasured bias cannot be determined.

Engineering is part of many sports, skiing, snowboarding, swimming (albeit limited after those floating suits), running. Even if you say they should all be about the sports performance only, there's engineering behind training schedule

Reading a lot of this discussion I'm thinking whether DRY itself is the problem or it's more about mixing different (but perhaps comparable) things into one function (be it for the sake of appearing DRY or otherwise).

Well you could at least start with solving everything in 24 hours that can be solved in 24 hours. More often than not such bugs take days, weeks, months not because of time in IDE, but because of backlogs, prioritization, time in test and

Fair enough, especially if structural. I've always felt most comfortable with a work relationship where I don't mind doing some work in evenings or weekends, but where it is also very much ok to do some personal stuff during the w

And then lets the services like health care, prison and education be butchered for profit (that doesn't come back to the public good but feeds inequality)

At a bare minimum it then should also not be about making if for profit

This is actually the case where I live (the Netherlands). It has pros and cons of course, balancing of which has over time put some restrictions on the usage of the system (both subsidized college fees and separate study funding).

Still you could in Java avoid the (under the hood) memory allocation and garbage collection by reusing the same objects. If you wanted to, of course, it probably takes a bit more effort / caution at the developer's side but may pr

Is bakfiets an international word or are you Dutch, but if so aren't most Dutch roads/routes pretty safe for (electric) (bak)fietsen?

The article explains this quite early on, as I understand it, it means that every spot has the same chance of being picked.

This is already happening, but I don't know to what extent (especially over multiple countries), but we moved into our extremely well insulated house (thing 3 layers of glass) in the Netherlands mid 2020. Heating happens using a ground

When I was ~9 (maybe 8, maybe 10) I picked the GW-Basic book from shelf (my dad had that for some reason) and started reading. I was fist thick and mostly a summation of commands, so it did not made a whole lot of sense, but hey, I had a da

Yeah some supermarkets in the Netherlands even let you do this with your phone (camera). Haven't used it for a while but even some years ago it worked quite good.

I only just learned about the concept of weight checks, I'd assume they weigh whatever you 'present' to have bought and compare that to what you scanned. If you don't scan it and you put/keep it in your backpack,

The way you phrase it (but maybe I get you wrong) suggests that the customers are somehow in their (moral if not lawful) right to do this because of previous policies from the supermarkets. They (supermarkets) may have been wrong, but so is

No anxiety, just wondering if, since it is on HN and highly upvoted, I'm missing something. That's what you get if you go to the website first and only then read the comments :)

I guess this can be said about your entire stack, OS, webserver, used libraries, etc.

Well we were looking world wide so that would be a lot of governments. Having said that, here in the Netherlands I could see it happen, the gouvernement does have (had) quite a few open data initiatives.

I once was on a project that started out with OSM, but then realised there was nothing that compared to Google's Places API (might be different now) in terms of completeness and correctness. And your are not (or at least were not) allo
