Static websites can be beautiful and easy to use without being complex.

PG's blog and HN can definitely use some CSS tweaks. I can't remember how many times I clicked the wrong thing in HN.

On the other hand, it's easy to get reader mode/custom CSS/alt frontend working for such websites, so maybe it's alright after all.

The original "agile" is a reaction to the overly rigid planning and emphasizes worker self-management. It makes sense since the people who are closest to the work (the workers) know best how to plan and implement the work.

It immediately breaks down when a specialized management tier emerges and tries to push their own agenda, i.e. to sell themselves rather than do something meaningful.

At this point, whichever form is used doesn't matter. The management, endowed with the power from above, will exploit the weakness of any agile-shmagile methodology to push their own agenda.

If I can pull myself up, I'll just have the pie in the sky.

Meh, it's what you get when you write a language in a different language's "style".

Meh, it's bold of them to assume the government will still stand by 2044 at this rate.

What's "inside" about this report? None of the people inside responded to interview requests and the only development (McCarthy resigned) is from a public source.

Somewhat related. Since discussions about working conditions are heavily censored in China, people have recently started to use Palworld contents as a disguise/satire/substitute for it. For example, see this game media's video if you know Chinese. Compared to the first world "controversies" around PETA, third world people are more acutely aware of the parallelism between Pals/Mons and their own conditions and thus people "just understand" the underlying problem rather than argue about what it is and what it isn't on the surface level.

It's not presented as a loop and there's no wife panel after the fourth one 🤔

BitTorrent has partial seeding. So if someone extends a torrent with some files, the original one can still be used for seeding.

Another reason for the last bit being the slowest is because populars chunks are downloaded first.

I don't think people have thought through what would happen in an all-out war between two nuclear powers.

As other comments point out, they are usually not properly packaged through nix.

If you read the vim/plugins modules, for most plugins, the derivation just downloads the plugin, puts it to nix-store, and makes it available to the editor through environment variables. So it's similar to the binary distributed software. Two most notable restrictions:

1. Nix is not aware of transient dependencies.
2. The plugin is not aware of the nix-store model.

So for plugins that don't have external dependencies (or dependencies other than the "common" ones like python or sh that happen to be available), and that don't interact with the filesystems, this approach would be fine, but the more complex ones would fail.

In your example, mason failed because of 1, home-manager wasn't aware that the pip module is a transient dependency of this plugin; and treesitter failed because of 2, because it doesn't know that nix-store is read-only and should be managed by nix.

There are no general solutions, but people may have nixified some plugins on a case-by-case basis. If you don't want to spend a lot of time (and remember that it might be broken by the next plugin upgrade), as others have suggested, take the traditional plugin management approach. (Personally, I use LunarVim which uses Lazy.nvim and it's been working fine.)

according to McKinsey. "And for those Gen Zers who decide that driving just isn't for them, they can keep themselves busy with TikTok in the passenger seat—or get behind the wheel in the metaverse."

Be a good consumer and accept our thought control.

This, but unironically used as a marketing trick:

There was no v1 of Oracle Database, as co-founder Larry Ellison "knew no one would want to buy version 1"

That's why the first Oracle database is v2.

I first heard this as an example of how buggy software can ruin people's lives, but I feel that there's much more to it than purely technical issues.

How could the court decide that Horizon was correct and the accused were wrong? Basically, the company just says trust me bro and that's all it takes. Really makes you think on what base the whole justice system is working.

It's a good idea to not have kids with your siblings.

To be good at programming, a lot of knowledge is needed, but "accidental". From practical ones like how to use git, to conceptual ones like cache performance mental model. It's perfectly possible that git is designed with a different CLI, or the common cache line size being 512 bytes. Mathematicians usually don't care about these things, since they are accidental. So they are bad at writing programs that's far away from math.

It's a completely different story when they are writing programs about math. If the tool is good enough, i.e. allowing them to express math ideas in familiar terms, mathematicians are very good at writing math programs. As can be observed in Lean and mathlib.

The high price is a result of monopolistic exclusivity.
