The word "controversial" in the article is a link to another article that explains the controversy:

https://www.npr.org/2020/12/21/948926995/keep-it-classical-s...

It's not a great article, but "We are absolutely opposed to this order" from the head of the American Institute of Architects seems a pretty strong confirmation of the word "controversial".

As for the demographics... Washington is a diverse city, serving a diverse federal government in a diverse country. To have exclusively white men on the panel -- and have them endorse "the style I like, that celebrates my ancestors, is the only style anybody should use" -- is very self-centered.

Some of the most beautiful buildings on the Mall aren't pretend-Greek-temples: the African American History Museum, the National Museum of the American Indian, the East Wing of the National Gallery, as well as various memorials in a wide variety of styles. It's very unseemly for one President to declare that the entire city should contain only his preferred style, and it's certainly not the American way to preclude innovation.

You might be interested in the TLCS90, which is an almost-unheard-of regularised Z80 with different and much more orthogonal instruction set. It's mostly source compatible with the Z80, although not binary compatible. If you want a modern Z80-on-an-FPGA this is a far better choice than a real Z80. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-0I2NpqS9c
ok, but the whole grand parent comment is a comparison to the global population. Those global statistics are not self reported, they're official diagnoses so will also be missing "people reporting they do not have ADHD or autism when they actually do".

That people struggle is an important statistic, but shouldn't immediately be counted as ADHD or autism. There can be other factors at play.
Through severe restrictions on travel, people coming in the country and invasion of privacy.

I know Australian people in Europe who haven't been able to visit home in a year. I know second-hand that in China if you had multi-stop flights you needed to quarantine at every stop. I don't know what test and trace measures the AU and NZ governments decided on, but I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't like them if I knew.

And it's easy to say 'well, good, people shouldn't travel now' - but this is not just about holiday. These restrictions keep families apart, make it more difficult for people to care for each other. Imagine someone close to you is in distress and you can't go help them because of this, how would you feel?

I don't know about you, but I would not want to live in China, even it gets to zero covid. And I wouldn't particularly like being isolated in AU or NZ either.
It's always a tradeoff between how much to spend on security vs how much a breach is going to cost you. But if you are going to spend it on security, spend it on things that are more likely to work, rather than on impossible things.
In that particular interview, I tend to agree. However I've seen/read multiple other interviews and talk shows where EU politicians talk quite differently. They may admit some general mistakes (without naming one) but still dispute each and every critic.

In one talk show for example a representative of the European Commission at least mentioned twice that in Africa even less people got vaccinated than in the EU. Like this would be the frame of reference.

Slavery in colonies is functionally different from American slavery.

Colonial slavery oppressed conquered people's on their local soil where they were the majority. This is hard to keep up for a global power constantly at war with its neighbors.

American slavery oppressed ethnic minorities ripped from their homeland and taken to a different continent. Slaves had a harder time coordinating rebellions as they were not a single conquered peoples, and were in the minority so couldn't count on winning battles of attrition.

American slavery, like the Roman version it was patterned against, could have continued for hundreds of years if not for the Civil War.

Colonial slavery though was a lost battle from the start. Colonial powers needed to develop their colonies, but the moment you do that you increase the chance of successful rebelion. The only way to defuse it is to reduce the oppression.
Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Sure, but that’s not an argument for not doing it either. As I’ve been trying to explain, I’ve had practical success building applications using the kind of software architecture I described.

I don’t like to get into personal backgrounds in these discussions, because as a rule I think arguments should stand on their own merit. However, just for some perspective, I wrote my first professional GUI around three decades ago. More to the immediate point, the longest I’ve maintained and extended a single GUI built using the architectural pattern I described was over a decade, and that one was probably more complicated in its requirements than a lot of web applications you’d see today. So although it’s just one anecdotal data point, I think it’s a good demonstration that this kind of architecture can work well over an extended period.

There're too many things which can go wrong with visuals. Incorrect order has smaller probability than a bug in a style somewhere which makes data invisible. For the 2nd reason you want to test that thing somehow else anyway: unit tests don't catch rendering bugs.

You seem to be making some implicit assumptions about the platform here with the reference to styling. In any case, this is why I mentioned that you might want a different testing strategy for the presentation rendering layer to the code that collects the presentation data.

Totally different. SVG renders vector 2D graphics, WebGL is a 3D GPU API. Try to render something slightly more complicated than rectangle of solid color, and you'll see.

Sorry, I’m not sure I understand the point you’re trying to make here. I was saying that web-based GUIs might have moved from rendering graphical content using one of the plugins a few years ago to rendering it using one of the native technologies today, without necessarily changing the content itself. Obviously which native technology you’d choose would depend on what kind of visuals you were creating and how you wanted any interactions with them to work.

Once you know the data, you do not want to run your code at 60 Hz (or 240Hz if you're really unlucky) computing functions of time and updating things. It's almost always a good idea to use the GUI framework for playing animations. They do better with rendering and power saving.

To the best of my knowledge, the GUI framework you are describing does not exist. You might be able to extract some basic movements that could be handed off to something running at a lower level with hardware acceleration, but ultimately you still need code to define the way the layout should animate according to whatever rules your system uses, for the same reason you need to define a static layout before or after the animation that way.

I’m not sure what you’re getting at with “doing better with rendering and power saving”. Can you clarify?

You clearly have never been the target of abuse or a stalker. Nothing less fun than when someone on a dating app in Sweden messages you saying "I know exactly who you are" and you know they can find out where you live in less than five minutes. If it works for 90% of people in Sweden, that's good but they should really make it easier to get your information hidden. Phonebooks of old times only had your number not your full address, the type of car you drive, who is your sambo etc
I'm a graduate of UTCS.

I only had one class that used Java. Different classes were taught in C, Lisp, Scheme, ML, Haskell, etc. If anything, most students complain about not enough Java.

It's certainly the case that startups aren't emphasized. What's emphasized is research. For the professors that are really working with students, they are focused on getting them into a graduate program.

The type of research done at UT tends to be pretty forward looking and not the type of thing its easy to build a start up from.

But honestly, 99% of startups aren't dealing with the products of advanced university research. For the most part, a successful startup needs people that are solving problems that have already been solved before. It's not the type of thing that a research university really should be pushing students toward.
I'm personally not sure there's much Firefox 4 is missing compared to Chrome at the moment. Can you explain what Chrome has that you'd like to see?
Excellent point about data organization. gridfs also helps with that. I'm loving gridfs so far.

Honestly I'd lose faith in the U.S. in it's entirety if it was the case that the answer to your question was even remotely "yes".
For those who find this and ask the question "What does math have to do with white supremacy?", I will attempt to try and lay out the argument. I'm going to assume you're asking this question in good faith.

I understand that the phrase "white supremacy" is equated with the idea that "people who identify as white are superior" (bad). I also understand the immediate reaction is to possibly think "I am not a bad person and I identify as white, so there must be something wrong here". When you then tie it to a concept like math, the next thought then tends to go to "how can a concept, not a person, like math, inherit a bad human trait like superiority"? It can't, so therefore there must be something wrong with these ideas.

If you look at the curriculum text from equitablemath.org and peek at page 9: https://equitablemath.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11..., there is a nuance here that I'm hoping to clarify to those who may feel the above.

First, the argument is not referring to a person, but a culture. Another way to think about it is a system. In this context, the system simply refers to the current methods of teaching.

If we all agree that the goal is to encourage as many people as possible to participate in STEM, enjoy it, thrive in it, and feel supported in it and we all agree that the data and studies show that our current system could be improved to accomplish this goal, the next conclusion is to criticize the system of which we teach fundamental concepts, like math.

Within our current system (or culture), we teach math a certain way. Some of those ways emphasize independent practice, mistakes are failure, teaching concepts linearly, and/or grading students based on what they don't know.

Because a lot of us learned this way and we are in the STEM field, we may ask ourselves "what is wrong with that?"

The argument is not that you don't have a legitimate question. The argument is that stopping at the question does not achieve the goal. After years and years of social science study of what prevents people of color from getting into STEM fields (if you don't believe these studies exist, that is ok, but only encourage your own investigation), the argument of "white supremacy culture in math" is providing points of how to center the experiences of people in color within the curriculum of teaching math to increase the thing we all seem to claim we want: the pipeline.

As a Black man, its really hard to be a part of this community and see people argue that is a pipeline problem, see scholars provide solutions to address the pipeline, then see those same people say "but why do we have to change anything, why is this relevant?"

At this point, it just feels like some people actually don't want a solution. Even if this doesn't work, why are we afraid to try? Isn't that the point of being part of the scientific community?

Instead, we're stuck demonizing the motives of people we don't know who are trying to help others who may be outside of our own bubble.
if this is theoretically saturating your bandwidth doesn't this lead to intermittent poor performance from your connected devices?
I feel the same way. In my case I have no love interest so I can at least pretend that that will help (it won’t). If you’re like me then it’s a near certainty that none of the suggestions here will help. I don’t have anything to offer. Im suffering with you. Alone.

Shout-out to QB64 - An attempt at a modern version/compiler for QBasic code, as well as updated features. I used to do a fair amount of programming in QB64, and the design of the language hampers it as a general-purpose language, it's a fun language for learning and writing in.

I also do not use an external monitor for this reason. I like being able to work from anywhere with the same setup. I wanted my productivity to be identical wherever I am.

Not using a monitor, I also don't use an external keyboard or mouse. I have an unused monitor on my desk at work I do no plug into.
It's not often I see compassion like this on HN. Good for you.
This sounds like Engineering, but be aware that in mechanical engineering the requirements are well-defined for materials and load. Consider the famous bridge resonance problem and you will see why wind resonance is now a required subject for structural engineering.

ME has an advantage over CSE in this regard because in CS the requirements are usually very poorly stated. About the best and most rigorous requirements you get are from mathematicans, but most devs and managers now certainly view that as wasting resources.

To make not to fine a point of this, I always like to turn to Alan Kay's comparison: TCP/IP vs the web. When was the last time any human technology like TCP/IP scaled so well and so invisibly, it's like air we breathe without even thinking about it. The web in contrast was the work of rank amateurs.

Alas, mathematics is really the "good enough" standard we in CS should strive for just like physics is the "good enough" standard behind ME and EE. Unfortunately as CS opened to the mainstream, I think a deep fear of mathematics led us to view this as "over engineering" even when it wasn't. The results are that the majority of the web is woefully underengineered, requiring far more money and time for inferior products.

We know they are inferior, because even the simplest gui application has more consistency than a web variation of it. And that's what marketing constantly compares things too when they can't understand why the web sucks as much as it does.

"Good Enough"? Please! For the last 20 years we haven't even come close!
> without being able to perform these queries in tools like dig, a lot of sysadmin/support staff time would be wasted

You don't want to be using ANY queries in dig, anyway, because they already waste support-staff time. They're entirely too prone to tell you what's already in cache, which might not include the record type you wanted. (It'll probably work when talking to an authoritative server, but if you have to learn how to make things work against recursive/caching servers, it doesn't seem worth learning both methods.) If you want A records, ask for A records. If you want AAAA records or MX or TXT records, ask for AAAA or MX or TXT records. If someone else asks for A records, and then you ask for ANY records, you won't see the AAAA records, which can lead to a long wild-goose chase about who isn't supporting IPv6 properly. If someone else cached A, AAAA, and MX records, and you ask for ANY and don't see a TXT record, you can be super confused about why mail is failing a "nonexistent" SPF rule.

dig defaults to A, anyway. BIND's host command defaults to doing three queries, for A, AAAA, and MX.

It seems to me that they are doing the exact opposite of what you claim they are doing.

None of the mitigations that were described were aimed at preventing a breach or disaster. Instead all were designed to mitigate the damage that happens when a breach occurs.
>but it's a laptop that from the point of view of most consumers would be worse

"Worse", but the insignificantly "better" one is landfill in a few years time when the battery/storage/keyboard/anything has a fault, or even just when it needs more RAM or storage.

Most consumers are just ignorant.
> What people complain about is that code that used to be perfectly portable for years suddenly becomes locked to a very limited set of targets with the argument that memory safety is more important than anything else

As TFA points out, this is a mistaken understanding of the situation. What we have here is code that gave the illusion of being “perfectly portable” (while not actually being written to target or tested against the peculiarities of niche architectures like Itanium and PA-RISC it happened to successfully compile on) being replaced with a new version that only build on machines its authors have actually given any consideration to the security properties of.

That this inconveniences people is obvious. Why they imagine this is a net security loss for them is less obvious – the older C versions still exist, and any concerns that they’re missing out on new security updates are swamped out by the fact that the older versions may well never have behaved securely because nobody from the project was ever writing the code with PA-RISC’s memory and instruction ordering properties in mind to begin with.
>Same thing for Valve, their money printer is so loud that they barely bother to make games anymore and let the Steam client languish for years (how did they let Discord/Twitch happen?).

Not sure that's a fair criticism.

Alyx was widely praised. Artifact... Wasn't. I don't know about Dota Overlords. And that's just the last couple of years.

They've also developed hardware like SteamLink, Steam Controller, some high-end VR gear...

They develop a LOT. They just don't release a while lot.

I agree there should be a lot more work and effort in the client. And they constantly fuck up handling their esports.

But I don't think "barely bother to make games anymore" isn't one of them.
Of the retail participants with a position in the shares, what percent of the total positioning do you think is on the long side versus the short side?

It could be, and the article acknowledges that possibility. For example, a cursory check of the musl sscanf [0] suggests that it does not (though I may have missed something). However, whichever implementation Rockstar used apparently does.

Just an observation for those here who haven't spent a lot of time on reddit: the main page is _much_ more superficial then what you can get if you make an effort. When you're logged in you can subscribe and unsubscribe from subreddits. Once you get rid of pictures, wtf, politics and a couple more things already look a lot more mature... and then you can start looking for more obscure but rewarding ones.

A good example of what a smallish sub-forum can do, take a look at http://www.reddit.com/r/motorcycles/. This is a topic I'm interested in, but there are literally thousands of subreddits, smaller or bigger.

Reddit is left of center, so that's not surprising.
I would agree with you if it wasn't for the fact that Reddit constantly bashes that "other group" and never gives them credit when it's due.
