OT: Is "performant" really a word? I see it on HN all the time, and it strikes me as made-up business jargon.
Well, back in July, Wired quoted Manning as saying

“Everywhere there’s a U.S. post, there’s a diplomatic scandal that will be revealed,” Manning wrote. “It’s open diplomacy. World-wide anarchy in CSV format. It’s Climategate with a global scope, and breathtaking depth. It’s beautiful, and horrifying.”

The article also says "a previously unreported breach consisting of 260,000 classified U.S. diplomatic cables that Manning described as exposing “almost criminal political back dealings.”"

I think it's real, and I think it's bad. Time will tell though.
>What kind of thing could possibly be leaked, and how badly will it damage international relations?

Well it might be tricky politically for Germany to get behind the US if the leaks contain plans for a 'final solution' to the problem of muslims living in America.

Mostly it's just lots of governments that have opposed torture in public statements are going to be embarrassed when it's detailed how their security services stood there while the person was electrocuted then asked their questions.

>But it's different. There was a time when anyone could start a newspaper

starting a newspaper is significantly more costly and difficult than starting a social media app. You're confusing the fact that websites like Parler are so toxic that nobody wants to do business with them with the inability of actually starting it, which anyone with a laptop can do on a weekend.
I don't think that's actually true. Weather Underground, for example, bombed the Capitol in 1971. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/03/02/a-...)

One of the group's leaders, Bill Ayers, lives unremorsefully in a tony neighborhood in Chicago where he went on to have an influential academic career, dedicating books to political assassins, and mentoring future presidents. This caused a minor kerfluffle when the details resurfaced to public light in 2008, but it was clearly, in the end, no obstacle to Obama's election.

One might raise a similar point about a figure like Oscar Lopez Rivera who, while he never bombed the Capitol, definitely did bomb about 100 other locations around the country and was rewarded for his efforts by an NYC ticker tape parade once he was released from prison. Lin Manuel Miranda's admiration for Rivera has hardly proved a stumbling block for his wildly successful career.

And that's just one end of the frequency-severity spectrum. Mobs break into the Capitol and interrupt proceedings with perhaps surprising regularity, as with the Kavanaugh hearings for example.

In any case, it seems that bombing the Capitol or doing widespread domestic terrorism is only selectively an impediment to a later life of comfort in the US.
You are correct; a police officer was reportedly struck over the head with a fire extinguisher, and he later died of the injury. I really, really want them to find who did that.

I also think the guy who shot that unarmed woman has no business wearing a uniform and carrying a weapon.

And if it wasn't 100 people spilling over a barrier (actually, the police pulled the barriers away and literally waved them in - explain that one to me) and entering a government building and disrupting an important session... then what was it?
maybe. what's a better word though?

Are they really in control? That word is too coarse I think for the situation. HN talks all the time about the power of social media, the studies showing quick radicalization, etc. That implies some level of manipulation e.g. not 100% free will.
Ok, many of these sources have later found to have little or no authenticity at all. Sources revealing second or third-hand information on the Trump administration. Mostly based on hearsay. Some imaginary. It has been journalism of the lowest possible standard. I trust NYT only on stuff completely unrelated to politics.
Time to move past arm chair theories. We are facing a armed threat to the country. Any outlet promoting or allowing promotion of fictional narratives need to be muzzled .. at least temporarily until we have a transition of power. Then we can start sorting out the mess.
Or just use Exhibitor. I don't remember the last time I manually anything'd with Zookeeper.

Between Exhibitor and Curator, I honestly find Zookeeper so straightforward and easy to work with that I don't quite understand the popularity of etcd.
I would like to see a feature freeze for one cycle if that means needed refactoring and annoyances can be addressed instead.

> The ability of students to learn and grow is severely hampered when governments monitor our communications and social media activity.

Is there any evidence of this? Why would monitoring students' social media activity and emails negatively affect their ability to learn?
Well, headline aside, we feel the NSA/GCHQ overreach is a problem that particularly affects students, since college is a time for exploration, creativity, and freedom. The private realm is the only place any of these things reside, and we're concerned about the erosion of online anonymity.

It’s divided between 3 schools of thought (1) governments can just continue to prop up financial markets indefinitely (2) you can temporarily prop up these markets but you can and will want to unwind government intervention over time and (3) this is just going to make a huge bubble that will burst eventually. People say you can grow out of these problems...

The Fed has an enormous amount of flexible firepower, it’s tough to sit back and not do everything you can to stop economic turmoil. They launched the most simulative economic policy of all time and stocks dropped today. If only there was action in other executive arms and congress.

As a counterpoint, at least on the laptop models I'm most familiar with, the power barrel connector is not on any board (it's connected to the motherboard by a wire), so even if it breaks, it won't damage the board (and it's easy to replace). On the other hand, the USB-C socket is soldered directly to the motherboard (though with an extra mechanical support screwed on top).
I wasn't around back then, but from what I've read, it feels this used to be somewhat different: the people at Bell Labs, or the old MIT AI lab, and similar places, genuinely thought they had the best jobs in the world, at least for them.

I'm sure occasionally some of them wondered about what it would've been like to found Intel or AMD or Apple, but for the most part they seem to have been happy to have a job where the business side was someone else's job, and they got paid to just work on interesting technical problems all day. I don't get the feeling that someone like Ken Thompson ever was particularly regretful that he spent his career at Bell Labs rather than founding a startup, because he was doing exactly what he wanted to do.

Perhaps the technical freedom some of those research labs offered is part of it? I can imagine there being more regret if you missed money-making opportunities and didn't have a great deal of freedom to choose your own technical problems.
TL;DR: Bradbury, A Canticle for Leibowitz, and Vonnegut, sort of.

Bradbury, unreservedly.

I remember really liking Dune through God Emperor, but I read it so long ago that I recommend it only tentatively. I do recall that the one non-Dune book of Herbert's I attempted to read seemed like it was written while on acid, and not in a good way.

A Canticle for Leibowitz is one of the best sci-fi novels I've read. Its author wasn't very active, though, so there's not much else from him. I haven't read any of the rest, but none of it has the reputation that Canticle does.

I'd put forward Vonnegut, but a) he's often not classed as a sci-fi writer for some reason, and b) I personally think he's at his best when his sci-fi tendencies are kept to a minimum (Dead Eye Dick, Bluebeard, Galapagos, which is as more fantasy than sci-fi if one must stick a genre label on it). I'd class Atwood as similar to Vonnegut in this regard, but even more so—her sci-fi work is just OK, from what I've seen of it, and I prefer her "straight" fiction.

If found Clarke's The City and the Stars deeply affecting (though, for long stretches, a bit of a chore), but the other couple novels of his I've read I wish I hadn't. A couple interesting ideas that stick, but not much substance. They were The Hammer of God and The Songs of a Distant Earth, for the record. They weren't even very entertaining. Both were late novels, so maybe his earlier stuff tends to be better? Mere speculation. I've been put off trying more of him by his current 1-for-3 record. I do like the movie 2001, though :-)

Bester's probably my biggest blind spot among the sci-fi greats—I've read nothing by him.

I can recommend The New Hugo Winners collections over The Hugo Winners, pretty much universally, if you're looking for short stories. Asimov all but sneers at them in his torch-passing introduction, but the reason he feels out of touch with those authors' work is because they're way better than what he was used to. However, I've yet to find a contemporary sci-fi author I can rely upon to deliver an entire novel that doesn't fall apart at some point, one way or another. I haven't tried Murakami, who seems well regarded and is, by reputation, my greatest remaining chance.

(Just to be clear, I enjoy plenty of other sci-fi in a guilty-pleasure, lazy weekend sort of way, in the same way that I genuinely like watching [some] crappy movies on Netflix)
Yes it seems like the only way to do it right now is to build it yourself. I have found some WP themes which are suitable for a developer portfolio site.

Surprisingly I found the best way to play was on the phone. First spend some time on PC to get familiar with mechanics and interface, then switch to mobile. Some things are horrible, like on-screen keyboard frequently obscuring more than half of screen, and some hard to read text. Some things are easier, like swipe to move and a toolbar with recent key shortcuts.

The thing that makes it worthwhile is that it is so easy to jump in and out of the game. You play few moves while waiting in line, then put it in your pocket. Play for half an hour while watching TV. Your player gets into impossible situation, just put the game away and resume later with fresh ideas. The game is so deep you can get a feeling of living a parallel life. You pause your life to play game, then you pause game to continue your life. Can be a surreal experience. It is so much more complex and satisfying than your average mobile game.

Twitch was sold for a billion dollars 8 years after Google bought Youtube. Netflix, Pornhub, there's other video websites that thrive just fine.
The immediate aftermath of the October Revolution was actually five years of a civil war that killed ten million people, which was then capped off by a severe drought.

Let me reproduce your original comment in full here, just for easy reference.

I'm still flabbergasted that she and others seriously proclaimed Trump's election would bring about the scenario of the handmaids tale. I guess she should be excused for being ridiculous because of her old age, but I've lost all interest in her work.

(downvotes incoming in 3...2...1....)

On its face, the intent of this seems inflammatory and you got the votes, flags and moderator talking-to for your efforts. This is definitely unpleasant - nobody likes being berated in public and I sympathize. As psychologist Don Vincenzo Coccotti puts it:

That smarts, doesn't it? [...] Fucks you all up. You get that pain shootin' through your brain, your eyes fill up with water. That ain't any kind of fun

In my personal experience, the effect does not last days but I'm no psychologist. Perhaps it's an explanation for the long sequence of curious defenses you've offered. Briefly summarized, they include:

- The comment isn't flamebait, the real flamebait is the article itself.

- The comment is not dismissive.

- The comment does not mention her age.

- The comment does mention her age but calling her viewpoint ridiculous while suggesting it may be a result of age-related cognitive decline is practically a compliment.

- The comment has nothing to do with Trump or her age.

- The comment is not an inaccurate caricature of her views but your interlocutors are not worthy of being shown the error of their interpretation.

- It is wrong to call the comment poopy.

Here I want to point out I didn't call the comment poopy, I called its form poopy. Whatever you meant by it, it's expressed in ways the HN guidelines strongly disapprove of. You'd be right to object that calling the form of a comment poopy is also contrary to the guidelines. I appologize and want to assure you it was intended strictly in the Pickwickian sense - a lapse into familiarity I hope you can understand and forgive in light of our long conversation.

I'll also admit I have some trouble believing that someone whose previous commentary here includes a suggestion Wikipedia is controlled by feminists and 'SJW's once held Atwood and her work in high regard but recently changed their mind. I'm prepared to accept this is unreasonable bias on my end.

Lastly, I agree with you that if liberals are, as you suggest, responsible for your comment, they deserve our opprobrium and contempt.
> the closer you are to the profit centres, the more you get paid

Yes, this. I would go further and say that if you're "IT" in a finance firm you're a second class citizen. You want to do engineering in a trading role: designing prop trading strategies, managing portfolios and pnl.

There are very few financial firms that are tech companies at the core. The landscape today is certainly better than it was ten or twenty years ago. Today, the firms who have a standing chance to compete in the arena have automated everything.

I'm making sweeping generalizations, so obviously YMMV.
Wow, that was fast.

The issue: It may sound like snark, but it is also literally what happens, and in particular literally the blog post content (the only exception in Feathers's case may be "teenage" - I don't know when he first read Flatland - but given the age of the average software developer, is substantially accurate.)
Yeah we're considering this as it's indeed quite consistent between mac & windows but it will take a while to figure out...

You know, one way to short-circuit all this "we have no idea what is going on with nutrition" business is to build an app where you 1) record what you eat and when, 2) record how you feel and what happens to you physically and when, and finally 3) correlates the two to draw conclusions over time on what ingredients are making you feel which way.
> I honestly had no idea how to use non-RPN

I feel the same way. I typically use "dc" for all my calculation needs. I recently needed to do some calculations on my phone and was very confused that it "knows" the order of operations. I already knew what order I wanted the operations performed in, thankyouverymuch.

2 + 3 * 9 = 29 but 2 3 + 9 * p = 45, for example. Apparently you have to press = every time you want to use the sub-result in the next calculation. It is very confusing.

I am not sure why we even have infix operators in mathematics to begin with. It just causes problems.
> A budget phone doesn't work because it won't be geared up to play the music and video and all of the other traits Amazon is looking at with it's 'Fire' ecosystem.

A "budget phone" in price may not be a budget phone in capability. Amazon surely wouldn't be the first company with a loss-leader hardware device that encourages lock-in.
Hi. FYI "suspend doesn't work" is a major issue on a laptop.
AS 400 is still going strong for many companies!
I may be naive but why would you hire someone who repeatedly says "I don't care". I have no problem hiring someone who just wants to get their shit done and get the f out and if that means, they only work 2 hours, so be it as long as expectations are clear BUT they still have to care when they are working those 2 hours. May be I am too simplistic but when someone tells me "I don't care", I generally won't hire them regardless of whether they are product focussed or not.

MobileCoin was advised by Moxie, Signal integrates MobileCoin and the footer at https://www.mobilecoin.com/ states "MobileCoin uses and recommends Signal Private Messenger".

If you control all of the coffers, you should get to choose where you live. Sounds like your relationship is dreadfully unbalanced at the moment.
All developers on that team used 1 compiler (VC++ 2017 at that time), one OS (Windows 10), one target platform (AMD64). Compiler/linker settings are shared across developers.

I wanted vcpkg to export just the required artifacts (headers, DLLs, static libraries, and debug symbols), so only 1 person on the team (me) is wasting time building these third-party libraries. The team is remote, upload/download size needs to be reasonable.
Woah, that's great resource. I just added https://remoteleaf.com and created a PR -> https://github.com/lukasz-madon/awesome-remote-job/pull/628
Only thing I can say is that rebase is exactly the same as reseting to the merge base, then cherry picking each individual commit that was lost in the reset. This means if you did 10 commits locally, it may stop 10 times to have you fix things. Versus a merge, which just does a single commit.

That said, I will also say that any worries about having merge commits in the history should largely be overcome. They actually provide useful information and are easy to ignore if you want.
Yep. Which is good evidence that such a thing is impossible.
So, you're saying C2V is closed source then? Which is exactly what Alex said isn't true.
What this comes down to is can the candidate: figure out how to build the project, grep to existing implementation and copy, paste, change a plus to an asterisk. And also, can they articulate the work-to-be-done this simply.

While that’s the gist of it, it hardly seems that’s quite enough from the author’s solution, nor should it be enough for an interviewer. The question isn’t how to write, or copy paste a function but how to add the command interface as well which, if one doesn’t know memcached, can be more complex then the function itself and isn’t covered by this trite an answer.
