Yaa101··on “It's Not Cancel Culture – It's a Platform Failure.”
Same here, it is like some people on here take any chance to down vote you at any given opportunity over mundane stuff.
Yaa101··on On Liberthielism
It's about life as human being, people or even generations are progressive if they have a world to win. Once they have what they need, they will have a world to lose and become conservative. The majority of people in the west are risk adverse often in extremo and becoming more and more conservative. Funny is that they will lose a lot due to this behavior, and the cycle start will all over.
Yaa101··on Ask HN: Why doesn't Google Weather not show duststorms?
Why are you looking for weather forecasts with a company that is specialized catering adverts instead of institutes that are specialized forecasting weather?

These people are called chimeras, some of them are so dangerous that they replace a person in real time, yes meaning that they kill the person to take it's place. Nature brings strange creatures.

Yaa101··on How do you stay grounded when writing software no one wants?
Write software that you need yourself.
Yaa101··on Audacity 3.0
I tend to agree, in a commercial sound control program like IzotopeRX one can set settings on a modal window while keeping the ability to control the main window. Also one can playback all previous states on the fly by clicking on a list of states, because it treats the process as a graph of Fourier states just like Gimp wants to create with GEGL. It is very important as a creator of a program with a complicated flow of tasks to let people feel that solutions are easy to accomplish. Now is Izotope easier as one imports only one track, but even Ardour in many ways is easier to handle than Audacity, and don't get me wrong, I love Audacity for what it does.
Yaa101··on Python is not a great programming language.
https://xkcd.com/1987/ This is the main reason I use Golang, apart from speed, clearer syntax and utf-8 baked into the core instead of an after thought. Programming is hard enough, I don't need a rotten toolchain.

But all these companies need a government that does compete with them the moment they stop innovating and start rent seeking, it's really best for them.

Yaa101··on Extraordinary Patient Offers Surprising Clues to Origins of Coronavirus Variants
I agree, these people should take a refreshing course about evolution.

Every cell from any organism gets variations of base chemicals in their DNA/RNA when dividing. These variations are called mutations.

Most mutations wither away, however some of them under the right circumstances, when an evolutionary gap presents itself, have a chance to become a dominant mutation.

As long as we humans cause evolutionary gaps, you know killing off species (plants, insects and animals), something will fill that gap, and don't be surprised if that turns out to be hostile to our species.

Also when we weaponize viruses without developing antidotes together and stupid doctors carry them to markets without setting off alarms at their laboratories, we should not be surprised that this will bite our species.

Yaa101··on Future Plans for Autotools
There is nothing wrong with improving, just make sure you have a frozen version that can handle the old cruft, some software is so stable that you wouldn't dare to update, I have some software I made myself that does what it was designed to do and never give problems. However it does not keep one from ever going forward and design new ways of solving the same problems. So my advice would be freeze and move on.
Yaa101··on HR is not your friend, and other things I think you should know
The problem starts with the name, humans are not resources. Stones. metals and food are resources. It's a slave term to see people as resources. I will never contract myself to those companies and people.

I wonder what happens, if the magnetic field fails and plasma of 150 million degrees C spills onto the ground?
Yaa101··on Departing senior engineer refuses to introduce replacements to OSS community
To be honest, if they screwed me as they did Gust, I probably would have arson-ed the whole office, not only did they screw him, they also claim to have a right to steal his buddies code? This is one of the good examples why the US has a trust problem among all it's inhabitants, constantly getting screwed by anybody, especially by the companies. Sad mentality, really...

Yaa101··on Ask HN: How long does it take for chronic programmer back pain to get better?
He means going to a chiro that puts a strap to your head and starts pulling short and hard. Your spine should decompress slowly with exercises if you want to keep things safe.
Yaa101··on Ask HN: How long does it take for chronic programmer back pain to get better?
Go to your doctor and ask for a physio consult at a therapist near you if you really need to know a specific place of your lower back pain. The exercises are common for the whole lower back, you can find some when googling with "mobility exercises lower back". Success solving your problems. BTW upper back problems can also be solved with the right exercises, upper back problems also often can cause intestine and other problems like stomach, kidney and liver. Nerves have 2 main functions, steering all parts of your body and feedback to the brain.
Yaa101··on Ask HN: How long does it take for chronic programmer back pain to get better?
When you have a sitting job, the chance of developing a stenose in your L1-L5 vertebrae when getting older is very large. You need to get off your chair at least once an hour walking around a bit, also you need to do low impact sports like walking the park or something like that. For acute back problems you need at least do mobilizing exercises for the lower back and if a vertebrae stays stuck you can opt for a chiropractor to force it to go lose. Most back problems that cause back pains are stuck vertebrae that make muscles working hard to compensate. So deal with your issues and don't wait or rest, that makes it much worse. My experience in acute situations is that mobilizing exercises can take 3-4 weeks to make the pains go completely, after a few days however they already get rid of the worst pains like nerve pains from stuck nerves between vertebrae. After that period I personally start mobilizing exercises immediately when I feel the slightest back pains and then it helps within a few days and keep the pain levels low, so keep exercising. Since doing these exercises, my need for painkillers for back pains went away.
