Trust me... it was rare as hen's teeth in the US also, especially during the period after Java came on the scene but before the iPhone.

(In 2001 I found myself looking for work with 10 months' of Java experience, and 8 years of NeXT experience. I doubt anyone hiring had any clue what Objective-C, NeXT, OpenStep, EOF were. Certainly the HR drones didn't.)

Back in the NeXT days, I think interest was primarily in US/UK/Germany, with some interest in France and Japan and maybe some Swiss activity due to the investment banks.

In January I got a 6.2% raise after having my salary practically frozen by COVID but apparently inflation has already caught up with it. :/
Agreed. It doesn't help that the idea of concurrent editing of a single document is.... Not really that useful. Makes fun performances/demos. But that isn't really where the friction is in how folks collaborate.
I wonder if "faster" really matters. The implementation-level optimization seems paled when compared to productivity, ecosystem, and algorithm-level and hardware-level boost. Case in point, Caffe2 wanted to be the backend of PyTorch in FB, yet failed. MxNet claims to be "faster" than PyTorch in pretty much every way and Smola personally pushed orgs in AWS AI really hard to adopt MxNet and Gluon* yet failed. The latter failure is particularly worth mentioning: all teams in AWS AI complied and adopted MxNet but then three years later decided to move to PyTorch. All-in-all, the incremental speed boost was simply irrelevant.
We will end up with a terms of service form at the door and a list of disclaimers 9 pages long before the 6 minute consult.
I think that since they manufacture so many other touch devices that the software, data and or expertise in designing those devices transfers over into touchpads.
I think at some point the freemium model needs to be abandoned. Dropbox is getting there - 25 million users (or accounts) and a service that works pretty well. At this point why not charge a nominal fee for the low end of the service - even if it's 12 dollars a year (only $1 a month!). Or a few months free followed by a monthly fee.
I'd be willing to pay after having used the service free for a while - although I personally will have to cause I need more storage.
If someone claims they made a video game "from scratch" should we bust them for not having written opengl/directx?

Loops (three digit Interstates beginning with an even number) and spurs (three digits beginning with an odd number) are not considered separate from the interstate off which they branch, semantically speaking. So I-4 it is. And maybe one in Hawaii? I can't recall. :)

I'm from Chicago area, grew up in Southeast, many years all over eastern seaboard up to upstate NY. Limited access just means no intersection with every possible side street, basically. Was just trying to simplify it a bit for the comment. :)

In the McCarthy age guilt by association was "established" by calling someone a fellow traveler.

We are there again. The difference is that in the communist witch hunts at least there was a plausible external enemy.

This time it is all based on delusions, corporate global agendas and the need to stay relevant in one's bullshit job by "fighting" for some cause.
Could you discuss in a bit more detail what you might want from such a study? My first guess was simply that you want a newspaper to be fact-checked from beginning to end.
I've got a few issues with most of these studies.

The media tends to make this worse, because these articles (and their accompanying social media discussion) seem to exist solely for writers and readers to claim superiority over the perceived elites. Those pretentious wine snobs, don't they know an Aldi boxed wine tastes no better than their precious Chateau Lafite Rothschild?

The argument is always the same: a classification of wine, such as price, region, or even colour; is irrelevant to the quality of the wine. I find the argument itself is valid, but not convincing because it's totally orthogonal to what I'd like from a wine.

I don't care about a wines quality score, whatever that is. Wine has a deep and complex flavour, and different bottles have different flavours. Many flavours are acquired tastes - not everyone finds bitterness or tannin pleasant. This variety is what does it for me.

Honestly, I find these studies ridiculous. Our sense of taste depends so much on our eyes and nose, that such trickery will always get you results. I don't doubt I'd fall for such a trick.

Anyway, if using junk science to bash people for their preferred beverages is your favourite pastime, you do you. Something-something inferiority compl-cough
Userland has something like this.

> NYT unilaterally decided to reveal someone's real identity against that person's wishes. It should honestly be made illegal but given the current political climate it's doubtful such course of action will ever be considered.

I completely disagree. That goes against the very free speech principles that readers of Scott's blog advocate so strongly. I think it was the wrong decision to publish his name, but it shouldn't be illegal. Like it or not, Scott has become a fairly important intellectual given who his readers are (and may I say, completely deservedly so).
I think the biggest thing that Lex “needs” (that’s a bit strong wording because I do like his podcast) to change is that professional interviewers tend to drive the interview towards the benefit of the audience and the guest (the interviewer very well may have a hidden agenda but the good ones hide it well), Lex’s style is more about his own personal interests and anecdotes his uses this interviews primarily to benefit his own curiosity than to the benefit of the of viewership which why he tends to go on so many tangents I think.
Thank you for your reply, I didn't expect I'd find a comment from an actual student of these schools here at HN. Your perspective is valuable.

If you follow Swedish media you probably know there's a large discussion/controversy right now about high school students (and younger kids) changing their behavior to avoid crime/trouble. For example see this recent article at SVT: https://www.svt.se/nyheter/inrikes/man-maste-vara-pa-sin-vak...

What's your take? Is this a problem in your school as well, or peer group? I'm genuinely curious: I'm old enough to never naturally meet people your age, but I'm not old enough to have kids or relatives your age.
So does the amount imbided in a single go.

Sipping tastes different from drinking and gulping. If an 'expert' doesn't know that, and isn't controlling for those variances, then their opinion is not going to be terribly rigorous.

Notably, Pepsi Cola made great use of these types of tricks for their advertising campaign re: "Take the Pepsi Challenge".

Much of taste is more subtle and experiential than many realize.
Most engineers I know in this situation move on to a new project before too long.

> So it's degrees of comfortable

No, it’s a moral judgment of the underlying cause and the actions taken.

> Do I need to guess who gets to decide what's considered kosher in this regard?

We’re all deciding it, every day.

> This is why we have hard rules about 1A. Being able to define what's acceptable free speech just means the majority bullies the minority. Imagine a world where that's the case.

I can also imagine a world where the minority bullies the majority. It’s the only one I’ve ever known.

> Do you think MLK or any other civil rights leaders would've had a chance in hell of not being muzzle by the mainstream opinion of the day?

> 1A protected them, and when they were incorrectly arrested or muzzled, there were legions of lawyers ready to remind the government in court what the law says.

This is one of those times I wish HN allowed emojis. This is so laughably historically ignorant I don’t even know what to say. I’ll try: do you know how dead MLK and a bunch of other civil rights leaders got for their “protection”? Do you know that federal government agents and various state governments actively conspired with the people who’d make them dead?

I mean, I take your point. The 1A is so expansive as to be nearly unlimited. That’s true. And it’s an important protection.

Anyway all of that said, it has nothing to do with FB’s policy.
Like Trump is just a regular president of a country.

It's not surprising at all given his behavior. Being president doesn't excuse it.

The average purchaser is probably not interested in the details, but they are most certainly interested in a sentence describing what it does.

All that I knew about it when I clicked the link and skimmed the page was:
- They're ready
- I skipped some stuff about pre-orders
- I might not be able to get one before Christmas
- When you make them, they're all arranged in a big tray, are charcoal and light blue
- The manufacturing process somehow involves baking and cutting.

I had to click in my url bar and type in "wakemate.com" before I got anything useful. It's a fuzzy bracelet, it has something to do with waking you up and making you feel better, a few platforms like iPhone, some video I don't have time for, and I finally read "Wake up at the optimal time in your sleep cycle."

That sentence should be the first thing I read.
Daisy Disk isn't a new idea... the Windows Freeware 'Scanner' by Steffen Gerlach was the first I saw to implement this disk view 8-9 years ago. Still find that utility priceless to this day.

And why would you draw that distinction for unary operators but not binary ones?

I wouldn't -- I think it's wrong for binary operators too.
I think he's hit on an important idea. I'd say take it even further - create a distributed datastore amongst all the browsers running on the internet. My laptop has gigabytes of extra storage i could easily part with, and a low priority background process would be unnoticeable. The internet connection speed would be the bottleneck, also peer discovery is a hard problem.
Nothing has hurt quality of life for the average person in this country more than the mindless pursuit of "freedom from government regulation". In reality, all it means is our lifestyle is regulated by industry rather than our elected representatives.

The article ends with the statement that "Sometimes you just need to draw a line in the sand and say “enough is enough”." That's all well and good, but who can do that without the law on their side? Not many people can afford to be fired.
it's 500 bones brosuf...i can't just give it away. I will add some more clues next week.
Are you interested in documenting offline dark patterns as well, for example those used in direct-mail or print/television advertising?

And, when a pattern refines or combines existing patterns, how do you prefer them be entered? For example, 'Hidden Costs' and 'Price Comparison Prevention' are often combined, lowering a advertised price or interest rate by moving charges into other later or less-prominently-displayed fees.
The code in RAM is transitory — more so than the brain-copy in a person with eidetic memory. Unless we're talking about RAM disks, its whole purpose is to be a transient, noncanonical representation of the actual on-disk program.
Animal allergies (as opposed to asthma triggered by animal dander) is only considered a disability is it actively affects your ability to breathe or otherwise function in pretty basic ways. So, yes, under the ADA in the US, denying someone employment with allergies is fine but refusing to give rides to service dogs is not.

Of course, a simpler solution would be to have Uber choose an appropriate car that was willing to give rides to service animals.
There was another article about stallman 2 hours ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26707498

Is an extremely obnoxious man capable of doing the job of a publicly visible board member?
Punishments should have limits, but the point of removing a toxic member of a team is not to punish the individual. If I hang out with a group of friends, and one of those friends repeatedly makes some of the rest of us uncomfortable, I will stop inviting that person to our gatherings. This is not meant as a rehabilitory or a punitive measure. It's simply a group of people who aren't comfortable with someone else's presence asking that person to leave.

Stallman was removed because many found his presence unacceptable to their continued participation. Having removed him, that remains the case.

In addition to being poorly reasoned, this article is also somewhat contradictory. First, it argues that shunning should be temporary because the shunned must be given a chance to prove that they have reformed their behavior. Then it argues that Mr. Stallman's behavior is clearly based in his handicap and accommodations must be made for it. These two arguments don't work together. If he can control his behavior, his handicap need not be accommodated. If he cannot, there is no point to reassessing whether he has reformed.
Not everyone is fine all of the time, and autistic personalities can get high and lows. To me, he seem quite normal and a cool guy that likes make totally inappropriate jokes or comments (that makes them even more funny), but I'm a little autistic myself.
Junk (story-telling) journalism from Time, justifying a vaccine passport by implicitly comparing coronavirus to smallpox, but:

"The risk of death after contracting the disease was about 30%, with higher rates among babies.[6][12] Often those who survived had extensive scarring of their skin, and some were left blind.[6]" [Wikipedia]

Coronavirus, nowhere even remotely close. Most people under the age of 70, without serious underlying health conditions are not in danger.
> the core engine is nearly 15 years old

"The core engine" doesn't do what you think it does. It's actually a running joke on /r/paradoxplaza that every time you mention Clausewitz, Meneth (or one of the other developers) pops up to explain this. It just does what every other game engine does, none of the actual game mechanics are coded into the engine. The reason why all Paradox games have so many things in common—a map-based UI, the scripting language, everything else that makes a GSG a GSG—is that game code gets copied and pasted from game to game as they start new projects. None of this is in the Clausewitz engine itself.

Funny thing though, they actually did decide (relatively) recently to centralize a lot of basic GSG functionality in one place so they don't have to keep copying-and-pasting code. The result is a library called Jomini. But this is a recent development; the only games so far that use Jomini are Imperator and CK3. It's a very new library, so it shouldn't have 15 years of legacy cruft in it.
One of the founders of Pachyderm here. We'll be hanging around on the thread all day.
Why not just create a plugin for Jetbrains' IDEA platform? Unless you're building a featureset that isn't supported, but that doesn't appear to be the case here. It would be much cheaper to build, and you'd get the rich IDEA ecosystem for (almost) free.

WRT to appealing, Pamella Jones commented "There may be an appeal, you say? Yes, true. I hope there is one, because Boies Schiller has to do it for free, under its contract with SCO, and they claim they are already in the red on this case."

This would not benefit Apple. The ones who went there for the keynote (and, perhaps, one specific talk) will pay the same and use less infrastructure.
I realize this isn't proof of anything, but Pixar is a hell of a lot more successful than Ren & Stimpy. Perhaps that means something.
Machines are getting better at separating recyclables from general waste streams, but the actual recycling part is still pretty tricky. Apart from a few "easy" things like aluminum cans, most stuff is hard to recycle in a way that's both economical and a net energy win.
> All of a sudden you'd have to decide which third-party service to sign up for, and many of them might just be a guy in a basement running the service to pay for college tuition. You'd have to check up on this before you know for sure.

Isn't this the same for everything? What you seem to be advocating is that we centralize everything so that no one has to think or research when making purchases.

> This is very hard to compete with in terms of ease of use. No strange choices to make, no weird preferences to fill out, no problems. It just works.

But you have to decide to use DropBox in the first place. The crux of your argument seems to be that DropBox is easy because they are the only choice.

Using that logic, one could make the case that the entire Internet should run off of a single email provider with branded client software.
No, in fact I have seen a lot more articles to the opposite. I do think that wikileaks is the wrong way to do it.
With all due respect to the author's determination, maybe he should find a form of exercise he can enjoy. Bicycling? Swimming?

I have been running now for 30+ years, not _quite_ half my life. I took it up in college and liked it at once. When I am in condition, there is nothing quite like a run in the park. Am I sweaty in the summer? Always. Am I uncomfortable summer or winter? Sometimes. But I enjoy it.

I mention this only for the benefit of HN readers who do not run, who might be thinking of taking it up, and might suppose from the article that all of sweaty guys are suffering.
Why is it always HTML5 vs flash? What about using both flash and HTML5? There is fabridge.js, after all. Its not all or nothing. Granted dependency on plugins sucks, but for now I see Flash as a supplement to a web application where I need things like audio, sockets and advanced graphics to work across browsers.
Ever tried FlashDevelop?
I didn’t offer any judgement at all. I just asked poster 'eruditely' to elaborate, as I don’t really understand what he’s trying to say.

I happen to find the notion that the CIA is responsible for the feminist movement rather implausible compared to alternative explanations, such as ordinary women being fed up at their lack of equal treatment or social status and genuinely wishing for social improvement. But again, that’s not what my prior comment was about.

I’ve never heard of Henry Makow but based on this essay he seems like a crank.

> The banking cartel needs a philosophy to justify enchaining mankind. That philosophy is Satanism. The cartel controls the world through a network of occult societies linked to Freemasonry, Communism, the Vatican and organized Jewry (Bnai Brith, ADL, AJC, Zionism.) The highest occult rank is known as the Illuminati.

Is this some kind of parody?
Excellent game! I gave it a shot, failed miserably. Index investing is best for me.
The Great Depression was global. It affected much more than the US. The dust bowl was local colour. The premise of your entire analysis is faulty.
Some of these bullets are a result of shortcomings with democracy not capitalism (or even capitalism by extension of democracy). Whether it's worth giving up democracy in attempt to address these shortcomings, I'm not so sure; seems that would typify a hyperfocus on the bad times.
Have you heard of Windows? Every one of the billions(?) of copies that it sold was, according to your theory, the public telling Apple that they hated their philosophy and supported their rival who held a diametrically opposed design philosophy.

"Safari for Windows may get away with that"
Ambiguity ambiguity sounds like semantic ambiguity, but there are lots of different kinds of that. There's a book that disambiguates ambiguity ambiguity, by W. Empson (math geek turned lit prof), Seven Types of Ambiguity.

Isn't the solution to rate limit RSS pulls and charge developers for overages? Just treat it like an API and charge for conspicuous use like every other web app out there and be done with it.

Maybe not GP directly, but this could be a possibility for an "upgrade as a service".

I have no idea what the cost of desoldering and resoldering the modules is, but given Apple's markup on RAM and SSD, it might make it worthwhile, just as there are many shops doing repairs on iPhones.

Over the years, many people who were stuck in the Facebook platform have been coerced by Facebook into providing a phone number to “verify” their account. The other choice given to them was (and is) to lose access to the account because Facebook believes it’s a fake account or a spam account or a “violation of its community policy”.

In other cases, Facebook may get the phone number because someone uploaded their address book/contacts to it. This information shouldn’t be in the user’s public/private profile (even though Facebook would store it internally, use it to figure out other connections and “show relevant ads”).
