~30 years programming. I use vim the same way I use Notepad on windows: for basic editing. I can move around, insert, delete words, etc but nothing more complex than that. And it’s fine.

I’m the most productive on IDEs like Sublime or IntelliJ so I mainly use those and jump into vim when I need to on Linux.

It’s been more than good enough for my entire career. I used Ultraedit and Visual Studio whenever I could as well, and always used vim when I needed to.

I was a huge proponent of Andrew Yang and UBI. I was skeptical but thought why not, let’s try. I thought all it would do is create inflation but I was willing to try because the way things are going right now is clearly not working.

After the pandemic distributing so much money to so many people, I think my initial thoughts were right. All we saw is inflation after 2 years of essentially UBI. I think it doesn’t work and we need a better idea.

That said, I still support Andrew Yang and the Forward Party.

Only on the profits, if you even have it.

No, people like you really highlight the “If they don’t help everyone then they are being immoral” mentality. Which is wrong.

Down grading security for the benefit of a tiny minority with an especially ridiculous use case is not the greater good. If the homeless people think they are at risk of losing their phone then they should pick another free email vendor.

The biggest fallacy we have right now use that all use cases need to be treated equally and if they don’t then somehow they are being immoral.

Google is not being immoral.

The homeless people can use a different service.

Dealing with the use case of someone losing their phone every few weeks when you have billions of others to worry about is unreasonable. I think handling that situation should be considered out of scope.

I have bought around 100 movies on iTunes. I get the argument that I don’t “own” the movies but it’s too convenient. And the best thing about iTunes is that it upgrades the movies when new features come along. I didn’t have to pay extra for 4K or Dolby Atmos when the movie itself got upgraded. That itself is enough for me.

The cheating claims for the poker example are absolutely stupid. Only people who know very little about poker would claim that.

What is obvious is that the lady made a mistake. If someone were helping her cheat, there’s no way they would have told her to call, especially after the flop.

She was behind the entire hand after the flop, and even after the turn she still had a disadvantage. She shouldn’t have called it at all and there was no reason to even think about it. If she were cheating her accomplice would have told her under no uncertain terms to fold. Who would advise anyone to make a 6 figure bet on a coin flip???There’s no circumstance under which her actions make sense except in the case of her making a mistake.

She made a mistake and got lucky, that’s all there is.

I wonder how long it will take to find the Malayan airlines plane

I worked at a 5000 person tech company and it was a mish mash of different services. It may have seemed smart but learning so many different interfeces, literally dozens, was exhausting. When I was at another bigger company with a better devex investment, all of the internal tooling has similar look and feel and felt a lot better.

When you’re a startup I understand you can’t invest in devex but there is a point where investing in your own tools makes a huge difference to internal productivity.

I studied my ass off! I did 300 LC questions and could finish LC mediums pretty easily and I found that most companies concentrated on easy and medium.

I’m also in my 50s. My last job search got me 6 offers, from startups to FAANG. I’ve only accelerated my career as I’ve grown older.

Cut scope. You are on the exact definition of a death march. Your management must not be very experienced, this is a tale as old as time.

I loved Phabricator. It’s the system that made the most sense to me, with no real issues. I was shocked when I saw that no more work was going to be done with it and I’m glad to see someone pick it up!

Your rebuttal is wrong. The number of drivers exploded by 100x or more after Uber showed up. Before Uber, the taxi industry had a monopoly on rides. Uber destroyed that and orders of magnitude more drivers showed up and then more customers showed up.

So the supply increased, there are less jobs there are orders of magnitude more.

Educate yourself.

It’s comments like yours actually that make me lose faith in HN. It’s a lazy argument parroted by activist with no actual contact with people who drive for Uber.

Most Uber drivers are happy because they can select their hours and the more they work the more money they make. It’s pretty simple. They aren’t poor, stupid uneducated masses that need saving by the likes of you. Your elitist views looking down on their ability to discern what is good for them is exactly why Trump disastrously won and we all suffered. And unfortunately why the Republicans will probably win again in 2024.

Your statement is so absurd that the only explanation is that you must not have had children. Hunger is only 1 of a dozen different reasons why babies will cry.

Cinematic mode for me is a bust. At 30 fps it was extremely choppy when I panned side to side, which makes it unusable. I was shocked at how bad it looked so I’m wondering how 24 fps can be any better.

Meh. There’s no indication that those Twitter accounts are of people who are any better or worse. I’ll take mudge’s reputation over two unknowns whose motivations are unknown.

Revenue recognition 101. This is about as basic as it comes. Moving revenues to subsequent quarters was “fixed” during the dotcom era.

I’m surprised the CFO and CAO doesn’t get sacked for this. And PWC should have caught this. Will the engagement partner get sacked too?

You are insulted very easily over extremely small things.

Do you get insulted over the fact that food producers have been decreasing the size of their food servings while keeping the same price? For example, a “pint” of ice cream is no longer a pint, it’s 14 oz. And the size of OJ had been decreasing Constantly but the price stays the same.

Here you are actually suffering a loss. You are being deceived into believing you are getting the same but you’re not. Are you upset and insulted about this?

With Google all you’re not getting are the results you wouldn’t have used anyway. You don’t actually suffer a loss. And yet, this is what you’re insulted over?

Thank you for your response, in appreciate it! I will try out the link you gave me!

I’m in my 50s but I trust their certification plus I have Applecare! I get a little worried about the salt but I will just assume that apple care will fix anything that goes wrong, although it might have clauses against it. But the underwater photos and videos are fun!

Phones have been doing this for years. I regularly take my iPhone into the pool and into the ocean. I get that message for a few hours afterwards. Sometimes if I need to charge I will try to dry it out with a hairdryer.

So WHY are transistors important? How do you use them to create computers?

In this thread are dozens of people complaining about something they would never use, ie going through a billion results. It’s really weird how hateful HN can be for no real reason.

This looks like an article that wanted to give a particular outcome (that trees are not enough) and backed into that out with a study that “proved” it.

However I can’t find a link to the actual study in the article.

Has there ever been a study that linked the increase in CO2 to the increased logging efforts in places around the world?

What percentage of YC companies fail to take off?

As I explained above I didn’t mean solitary confinement. I meant simply not mixing with other prisoners. They should be able to see counselors, educators, visitors, etc.

I didn’t mean solitary confinement. The prisoners can interact with other people during their sentence, just not with others prisoners.

I think the biggest problem prisons have is that you collect large groups of criminals and let them hang out together. It breeds an even more concentrated form of criminal. Often times minor criminals need to join racist gangs just to survive which Is inhumane.

I think they should all be separated from each other. They should be put in single cells, and given access to as much education as they want, and just basically put on time out for weeks, months, years. Let them chat with their families and understand the hurt they did. Let them meditate on what they want to do with Their lives after. But keep them separated. It makes things safer for guards as well, lowering the tension.

What we are doing now is useless, inhumane, and counterproductive.
