The future is INSANE.

That's totally fair. Every now and then I do see a "you're not working hard enough" flare-up on here though. But of course, the loudest voices are often minorities.

That last bit is a pretty interesting stat, though.

Really doesn't help that we've somehow created a culture where mediocrity is a sin. It's okay to be average. Most of us are.

Honestly, this is one of the many things that makes me feel incredibly lucky that I have the interest in computing that I do. Not only has it led me down a supremely well-timed and lucky career path, but I also have a no-impact hobby that I can look forward to continuing into my old age.

Might have to get a niece or nephew to crawl behind a desk to plug in the odd dongle, I suppose. Whippersnappers.

This is the least hacker news comment of all time and I love it. Maybe this weird era of SV-type a-social-life-and-sleep-is-for-pussies work mentality is actually starting the begin of its end.

Or not. Maybe we're fucked.

Jesus christ, this is the most depressingly real comment I've read in my life.

Yeah. Having read all three, they were interesting but not anything I'd re-read.

The opening of TBP had me hoping -- being a big Neal Stephenson fan -- that the whole book would involve a lot more of the historical context of the early PRC, and then it all went somewhere completely different. I strongly feel that the first bit of the book set in the past is the best part of the entire trilogy.

The idea of Chinese sci-fi in general becoming a thing is very cool though, I think.

I've been using KDenLive and it's quite competent for what it is.

> I have made this kind of typo maybe 2 or 3 times

Pardon my french, but that is some straight-up horseshit.

Even if you were the best programmer in the world, I would be skeptical at you saying that you make that kind of typo less than two or three times a year or per project, much less over the course of fifteen whole years.

Bill Buzbee is a goddamn legend

I'm not anti-WASM. Actually, I think it's pretty cool.

And I have no particular JVM love. I use it exceedingly rarely.

It's just that you're being kind of a frustrated, pedantic tool right now.

Thanks for teaching me something totally unrelated on accident today. I was under the impression that all of the post-clamshell iBooks were OSX-only and had to check everymac. Now I'm slightly wiser on a topic that no one gives a shit about.

> Are you saying that we could stick a JVM in the browser

More or less. I mean, that used to be a thing you know.

> the goal of WASM and the JVM were quite different

WASM: A universal write-once, run anywhere bytecode for heterogeneous networks of systems

JVM: A universal write-once, run anywhere bytecode for heterogeneous networks of systems

Incorrect. Gift that you give to me, no one knows,

I think OP's point was that the person gives a vague answer off the top of their head instead of checking the doc to see what the actual concrete type is.

In what world are files required to have an extension?

"Money can buy happiness if money could buy happiness"

Why? He never said anything at all about Communism or any other ideology being superior in particular. Looks a bit like you're itching for a fight that no one is actually giving to you.

WHOA. Alright, time to re-read that guy again.

Ironically, I clearly have something going on in that spectrum and I'm amazed it hasn't affected my career yet... but I've as of yet completely procrastinated on getting myself checked out for it.

You're making me so happy, because the most frustrating thing for me is that, with how tied up in personal and cultural identity and self-worth it all is, few people are willing to admit or recognize this.

Economy, at its core, is a network of transaction predicated on value.

Value, at its core, is nothing more than a perception.

And right at this moment, no one gives a shit about Mastodon.

Oh shit, I like this one. Nice work.

From everything I'm seeing, it sounds like it may be over automated if anything. (sorry if I'm going against code of conduct, I'm not sure what the rules are on making the link-footnotey deal)

Completely just to play devil's advocate, here: When has a major innovative company ever done better after ousting a visionary but perhaps somewhat toxic founder?

Maybe we could look at Uber, but it's too soon to tell. And The new management there seems earnest, but I'm not sure they're looking so hot from an actual business perspective.

I don't know where you live, but of the two psychiatrists I've seen both wrote me a prescription on my second appointment. And frankly, my mental health isn't the worst.

Brother, this system predates the concept of TTL by quite a fair margin.
