Regarding "What, the New York Times wasn't objective enough for you?":

You really don't understand (or pretend you don't understand) how
modern newspapers work.

1. Newspapers have ideological bias. In terms of domestic news, it's a
liberal newspaper, so would automatically add a sexist anti-male
spin.

2. Journalists are under heavy deadline pressure and badly
paid. Typically most stories in a newspaper like the NYT are
slightly edited press releases from some PR agency. The corrupt
games journalists who are trying to cover up their wrong doings
know this and produce press releases that smear GG, knowing that
mainstream news outlets like the NYT will uncritically print them.
You only need to look at the Wikipedia article for Chelsea Van
Valkenburg (who currently calls herself Zoe Quinn) to see a prime
example of a PR-agency hit-piece. Having worked in PR and
journalism, I can smell the PR-style writing from a million miles.

3. Newspapers like the NYT are doing financially very badly and are
desparate for page-views. And the damsel-in-distress narrative
reliably generates such page-views. That's why the likes of
Sarkeesian, Chelsea Van Valkenburg (aka Zoe Quinn) and John Walker
Flynt (aka Brianna Wu) use them, and that's why the NYTs of this
world print them.

Rest assured that the NYT writer responsible for editing the press
release you linked to has done no fact-checking of substance.

As to "because of the way that GamerGate works": I'm afraid it's the other way round. Since there is no organisation, no formal membership, everybody can claim to be GG; moreover, Sarkeesian, Chelsea Van Valkenburg (aka Zoe Quinn) and John Walker
Flynt (aka Brianna Wu) et al and their friends have strong financial incentives to run false flag operations, see their Kickstarters and Patreons and media adulation. So the only reasonable default assumption must be that they are running false flags. This default assumption should only be reversed in the presence of concrete, actionable evidence that would work in a court of law. So far none of this has been forthcoming.

I would also like to point out that the police clearly doesn't take these claims seriously, for otherwise we'd probably have seen some people being arrested or charged. After all anonymity on the internet is hard these days, and beyond the abilities of most.
Brown originally faced more than a century in prison on a swathe of charges relating hacks targeting corporations

No, he didn't.

I hire. I'm on the lookout for Ninjas and Rockstars and all of that. Those mythical 12345x codars. It's easy because I'm a 67890x coder, and at around 1024x, we're all taught a secret handshake.

Ya, right. When interviewing you, I'll try to set you up to both succeed and fail; you'll be given ample opportunity to correct me on anything from blatantly idiotic/wrong statements to minute technicalities (the ones you catch). I'll try to see your patience, assertiveness, helpfulness, communication skills, etc.

You could be $#1_in_the_world in $thing_im_hiring_for. If your ego extends beyond your physical boundaries and into others' minds, you can fuck right off. I'll get a 1234x guy instead that will occasionally help the 123x guys as well. And I'm not creating a toxic environment.

According to my [limited] experience, heck yeah there are ninjas that make it for both themselves and their companies and environments, while a) having good enough social skills so as not to offend unnecessarily and b) have the desire to mentor and guide people, rather than verbally throw acid in their faces. It's an attitude problem more than anything else. Organisations that foster such toxic environments will later on hold meaningless seminars for team building in a band-air attempt to fix their churn.

It doesn't make much sense not to help someone, especially on the same team. So often he'll just be missing some minor concept. A few kind keywords from a more knowledgable person will get him googling and on track[2].

Your environment is toxic. If you're learning even a bit, stay as long as you can stomach it. When you've (learned|had) enough, go somewhere nicer and remember to be nice to your "inferiors".

[1] Hasn't happened yet. To me at least.

[2] This likely won't be the case if there is too big a divide between your levels - e.g. Linus may not answer your polite question about memcpy

[3] bonus orphan footnote: look up impostor syndrome. Ensure you aren't suffering from it. Computing is a vast, vast universe - as deep as it is wide. There'll be someone who knows something you don't, in just about any techie-filled room. Actual impostors often behave in the manner you're describing, which (ironically?) causes impostor syndrome to people who actually know quite a bit.
Double that, its the same address I use too! lol
Yeah, I recently heard someone talking about taking huge personal financial risk to keep a startup going and suggested maybe it's time to live and learn and start over with a hell of a lot better product-market fit or spend that money on Treehouse and an apartment for a few months to learn how to build something, which could just be their first successful product.

There are too many people willing to seed a decent product to go all-in with anything except time and soul.

Chris Sacca has a pretty damned interesting tale:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VOQnK7O2To
'The number/color that is going to be successful'

In roulette, there is no competitive advantage between specific numbers or colors. In startups, that is not the case.
Why are so many people so enthralled with startups?

I've worked for lots of startups. I'd much rather work for a company that is not a startup.

Consider that even if management has a clue, the VC might not. I once worked for one of the very first electronic medical records vendors. Our VC dropped by one day to ask use what our "Internet strategy" was. We didn't have one, that's not what hospitals do.

Several times I've seen perfectly good companies totally destroyed by venture capitalists.

If you do choose to go looking for funding, consider whether you really want to accept it if it is offered to you. Don't accept it from just any VC; look into the experiences of the other companies they've funded. Not just whether they had a successful IPO; look into the press about their other portfolio companies. If you can, speak with some of the employees of those companies.

Some VCs, such as Ann Winblad of Hummer-Winblad Venture Partners, are very very good. You would do well to have someone like Ann behind you.

A VC that I actually met, made his fortune through profound copyright infringement. Despite losing in a lawsuit settlement, he kept enough money that he was able to back a successful product. Now he regards himself as possessed of great wisdom.

When he sat right next to me at a cafe, I speculated he might have been interested in investing in my company.

I wouldn't touch a guy like that with a hot rock.
Did you normally get enough sleep before starting the fasting? You mention that you now get more sleep, and I wonder how much of a factor that is in improving your blood pressure and cholesterol.
Wikipedia suggests that pink clothing, even with flowers, is not shunned by warrior male Massai.

I do know that food-aid packages had to change colour because they were the same yellow colour as bomblets dropped in cluster bombs, and these were killing children.

http://www.refuseandresist.org/newwar/111701clusterbombs.htm...

> General Richard Myers, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, addressing the similarity between food aid packages and cluster bombs said, "It is unfortunate that the cluster bombs - the unexploded ones - are the same color as the food packets."

> "We have dropped flyers that show the pictures in the proper language explaining why you want to go to one and you don't want to go to the other. We hope that helps."

(That's not satire. He really said that.)

Food aid packages changed to a sort of pink colour.
Flash AND java (and one can argue javascript too...)
I remember it was because geohot "jailbreaked" the PS3 using the Linux capabilities to some extent.

But I could be wrong.
No, often used an existing session, though back in the day I was also using computers in internet cafes around the world, so totally new sessions each time
They swear they aren't preselected. I am willing to bet you, but I am not sure how to settle the bet.
It can be hard to learn, as it's a bit mind bending to think about writing programs more as objectives and relations, than as imperative code. But it's certainly not bad to learn. It's helped me out a few times over the years, using it directly or using the ideas of it for a specific application (sort of a Greenspun's tenth rule applied to Prolog).
Read the SRE book chapters on paging and alerting. This is an unhealthy workplace. There should be a strong focus on every page requiring specific action.

>OSX and its tooling are just ridiculous. I have no idea to this day how macs became the premier development environment.

Because:

(a) it's quite easy to set things up with brew, macports, and/or Nix

(b) because Python is shitty everywhere anyway, and Python isn't the be-all end-all of development work.

(c) because you get a full-featured, working, coherent, take-it-or-leave-it desktop that stops one way of endless tinkering and procrastinating available in Linux to get things "just right"

(d) because it's still a UNIX with a full support for unicy tools, not a hack like WSL or WSL2.

(e) because it has good hardware (mostly - BS keyboard-era aside) and good resale value

(f) because you get to enjoy most/all the proprietary tools you like too (from MS Office and Adobe Creative Suite, to whatever)

(g) because in 2020 Docker, remote environments, etc, make many "local dev environment" points moot anyway
I'm guessing they won't come unless you chase it. Nothing happened to my refund for May flights until I called, after which the money came within a week.
Ah GG - your number with them used to be just as important as your phone number in Poland.

I remember looking into this a few years back and the only issue I found was that the company that owns it now itself wasn’t entirely trustworthy.
There was interesting project called Zymake (http://www-personal.umich.edu/~ebreck/code/zymake/) but it has not been updated for a while.
Well the Republican “leadership” is no longer a monolithic entity, it’s split between Trumpists and establishment types. The former have been leading it all. The latter have been speaking out against it all along, but to no effect.
Doesn't compare to this one: https://twitter.com/stevennelson10/status/134690995241006284...

I have difficulty believing it's real, but it's from the account of a legit reporter. I predict, this will be one of the iconic images from the 53rd week of 2020.
One of the problems, yes. I've witness too many times where they blatantly lied.
HN has rules against stories that are pure politics and that don't speak to intellectual curiosity, and I'm sure people are flagging this article on those grounds.

But the mods have also said that exceptions will be given to political events that are particularly historic. I'm not a mod, and I have no power here, but I'd like to think this counts as historic enough. Personally, I haven't been anywhere near this scared for the future of my country since 9/11. Not even 2016 gave me this feeling.
Hey Hacker News. I posted about this in 2019 but it didn't get much traction. I've been using the tool myself for about 18 months and although it's simple it really is working for me.

I designed this as a "text editor" inspired by the AlphaSmart word processor I used to own. It gives you ten files to work on and runs in a tab in your browser. It's offline and does not require a central server.

Because there are no files to think about it really does make writing easy for me. I hope you'll find it useful too.
Maybe not shot...but maybe tear gased? Rubber bullets? Remember when peaceful citizens protested the unlawful killing of a black man and the police happily used all of the above?
It's amazing really. I was playing the original Theme Hospital (1997) just yesterday on Windows 10 with no issues[1].

[1] Okay a couple of issues. It needs compatibility mode for the colours to look right. But that option is built into Windows so I don't really consider that a failure of compatibility. And the installer is 16-bit and won't run on 64-bit windows. But some years ago I made a copy of it after install and the actual installed game is 32-bit and runs fine.
anybody know if there's any live streams from one of these idiots storming the capitol? apparently someone has been shot and in the chest inside the capitol
@rayiner: what a weird thing to say. Are you saying that all foods are equal, that the way you eat doesn't affect your health, thinking and environment in any substantial way?
If the SSO system is legacy and must use cookies, then to request access for cookies you need to call requestStorageAccess() in a frame hosted on the origin, which will open a prompt asking the user to allow such cookie access.

The St. Louis Fed has additional detail on this misleading statistic.

There are several measures of money supply, but two count for the most in this discussion. The poster chooses M1. This is all transaction deposit accounts: i.e., your checking account.

M2 includes M1, but adds savings accounts and money market funds. These are very similar to checking accounts, but used to have limits on the number of checks you could write each month. Banks had to have reserves for M1, but not for M2.

That limit on the number of checks per month was eliminated in 2020. Banks were essentially free to classify accounts as either transaction accounts (M1) or money market/savings accounts (M2). Most all the banks have lots of excess reserves, so it doesn't really matter which one they choose.

So where is M2? Contrary to the excitable headline in this post, M2, which includes M1 and is a better overall indicator of cash sitting around, is up by about 25%. Still a significant number, but nothing like 344%.

No, debt levels are too high. Raise rates and you crush borrowers who are already saturated with debt and cannot absorb variable rates rising. The Fed is trapped.
It does, your dollars in 2019 could buy an average house, those dollars in 2025 will only buy a lower end house.

This is nothing new though. A new car cost $800 in 1940. So if you held all your money in cash you missed out on buying a new car. Now all you can buy is a new bike.
We tried out the demo last summer (which was a bit of manu-mation before the product was fully built out -- kudos to Lenny & crew for doing things that don't scale) and had a great experience! Here's an example of one of the videos we got via Milk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4jOqVqyAo8

Excited to circle back and try it out again now that it's software instead of humans doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes!
Nope can't do that. MSTR might trade at a premium to its BTC holdings but only because at the moment it allows people to buy BTC through more traditional investment accounts. Your hypothetical ABC wouldn't have any advantage over MSTR so it would trade at parity.

I'm really not trying to be pro or anti BTC/MSTR here, just explaining whats going on. It's valid to think it's stupid/overvalued, but I'm just pointing out that its P/E ratio isn't the reason. And comparing MSTR's P/E to Apple's doesn't really make sense at face value.
love the autocomplete previews.

i love using CLI. curious what others here thing of this as well as any IDE's they prefer to use.
On a similar subject I would advice "Les Sphinx" from Griselidis Real, a swiss prostitute: http://www.editions-verticales.com/fiche_ouvrage.php?id=228&...
It is in french and may not have been translated. These are collected letters she wrote while she was being treated for cancer during the last two years before her death. Very poetic, often funny, sometimes enraged. I am not sure I would have appreciated the author IRL but I certainly love her books and writing style.
Excellent point. Maybe "Goldfish mode" might work too.
We are already there with XMPP.
first i'm hearing of this. i only want as far gray codes i believe. thanks for the share!
Counterpoint: this would destroy Firefox' credibility.

I use Firefox because of their strong pro-privacy stance. If they started charging for "real" privacy, it would damage that image - "privacy for those who can afford it" would be a bad slogan.

Also, Firefox has made it clear that they don't want our money, as seen in their continuous refusal to accept donations.
You need to keep in mind what caused that.

In Austin's cade, Austin Energy built out way too much off of essential circuits. Office buildings stayed lit because they trunked off a circuit feeding medical centers, emergency services, that type of thing.

So the only place Austin Energy could go for load shedding was their residential customer base. Even then; they didn't execute true "rolling" blackouts, because that implies dividing the supply of power you have somewhat evenly across your entire customer population in a reasonable time based multiplexing scheme so that everyone gets their chance to run the heat. To minimize the amount of time people go without any heat, and at regular intervals so people can plan their consumption.

Can't speak for other metroplexes, and the co-op I get power from did a perfect job.
This looks pretty good, although of course lacking Bluetooth I've never seen it. Looks like you have to go into Settings to enable it manually when you're connecting with a cable but, yes, seems like an improvement. Thank you!
LTE is limited to 21GB of higher speed transfer a month, at which point you get rate limited down to 2Mbps down and .5Mbps up.

Can't have Zoom calls on that garbage.
It's important to ask "teach what?" There are a lot of foundations that simply aren't going to be relevant to large subsets of students. Teaching C, for instance, is nearly useless if you're trying to convey FP concepts or object-orientation.

I certainly support including C as a core part of any university's Computer Science curriculum. But such a curriculum should include as many languages as possible, each deliberately picked for what it can emphasize and convey. For a Computer Science curriculum, any discussion about language choice that doesn't end in at least three picks is, to me, a failure.

But there is a lot of learning to program that happens outside of university settings. Students who have no explicit professor or TA to talk with need wider community support. They need more basic guidance. In these cases, a language like C would do poorly: there are too many systems-level concepts that need to be understood before it stops feeling like magic. For this, Python is far superior to C, because it makes understanding what you're doing far more accessible far sooner.

Whether or not Javascript is a better choice for this than Python is something I'm undecided on. I can see the merits offered in the OP, but I'm not convinced they outweigh the faults in JS. The newbies I give recommendations to generally have an interest in going into data analysis. I think Python is the better choice for that, as a language that can form a bridge between "whoa, hello world" to, say, playing with scikit, and if they end up going in a different direction, they're unlikely to have picked up any particularly bad habits. Javascript? I am not convinced.

(This sort of stopped being a response to you in particular and turned into a response to the OP, but it'd be confusing to move it now. So... whatever.)

> The man is a tyrant, and we should all be thankful it is not far, far worse than this.

Yes, we all dodged a bullet. This person could be "the Leader of the Free World" for the next 4 years.
>Is the Xiaomi router for sale with 6Ghz enabled?

No it is not. Since there are no 6Ghz Spectrum time table in China. The official webpage for AX6000 is here [1] ( In Chinese ) And after I have made multiple enquiry to WiFI Alliance and Xiaomi they have somehow removed all mention of "WiFI 6E" from their pages. Instead referring it to WiFI 6 "enhanced". You can still see some site [2] and here [3] referring it to WiFi 6E. But I think within the last 48 hours they are actively removing all WiFI6E reference.

Not sure if it has anything to do with my enquiry, considering no one on the internet actually cared to question and ask I would like to take some credit for it :D

I would expect 6Ghz to work as advertise from Intel with software update. It is Intel after all and they have at least listed 6Ghz as being officially supported.

Apology If I had caused any confusion.

It's going to be really awkward when he runs again in 2024.
If you had a machine that was gapped could you disable the flushing?
Even the ZX80 / 81 had far more usefulness than Atari BASIC.

People wrote video games for it. Puzzle games like Black Box, board games like Chess (yes, I know the 2600 also had Chess, but you couldn't develop a Chess program on the platform itself).
v8 includes a JIT for every platform it runs on. The code itself needs to run on the target platform (memory model, threads, etc) and the output of the JIT needs to target the execution platform. Given how portable V8 already is, probably not a whole lot work needed to get it to compile and run on RISC-V, but the codegen would need to be written.

At a glance, plenty of people storming the capital look to be pretty young, so there's clearly cross-generational effect happening.

Actually, I worry about this new generation of whatever the "alt-right" turned into since 2016, flying under the radar.
I run adhaste.com and you can send me a message if you want to try it out
Also blew my mind. I could have watched it 100 times. I'm surprised I came across a copy of it so soon after it came out. It must have really made the rounds! Same as DOOM, they both showed up on floppies via an older cool acquaintance of mine.
