Normal Chinese citizens, which means 90% of Chinese population who live in downtrodden rural areas, and 3rd tier cities hate their own government in a way Q-Putsch looks like a childs play.

Just 2 generations ago, Chinese were dying of starvation. People don't give a fuck for "national unification" if they are one meal away from death.
As someone who was a volunteer Admin/coder for a while on a MUD during college (Fires of Heaven, yes based on the Wheel of Time) keeping a MUD going with paid staff in this age is incredible. Well done!
> I've had people say "I installed postgres - here's the password". Then... I can't log in. Because I can't switch to the postgres user.

You don't need to switch to the postgres user if you have another database user and password.

Are you talking about a situation where someone has installed a PostgreSQL server but hasn't configured PostgreSQL to allow password authentication? The server admin needs to allow that explicitly, because some distributions don't allow password authentication even on localhost by default, but honestly, it's all very well documented.

> If someone uses common default package managers to set up mysql/Maria, and also for postgres, you'll be able to connect to mysql/Maria from any account.

This is not the case on Fedora at least, since fresh out of the package the MySQL root user has no password; the only way to connect is via local system authentication as the root user.

What's next? Allowing only profitable trades? This is a worrying trend when SEC thinks they know better and usurp the right to tell people what to do with their own money. They should look at banning sales of borrowed shares, but that would upset their rich mates?
Hm, so what happens if a country issues some sort of currency in the form of loans/salaries/whatever but does not collect any tax (let’s say they sell natural resources to foreign countries and use that money to maintain their printing presses). Would the currency be worth nothing?

In case it helps, here's one about Norwegians:

- American guy goes to the dentist and says "do it fast!"

- German guy goes to the dentist and says "do it well!"

- Norwegian guy goes to the dentist and says "does it hurt?"

It is a thing in some cultures. Norwegians poke fun at the Swedes (and ourselves), Englishmen make jokes about the Irish and probably the other way around too.

I hope we can agree that it is OK also in the future. I don't want the world to be too dull.
It’s not immediately clear why the update system is like this but agreed with author that it totally sucks. There’s an OS update waiting on me to install, stating it contains only a fix for the Mac mini m1, which I do not have. It would be one of those “flash all ye firmware” updates if I would run it. Every update is. Updates are atrocious. The only upside I can think of is that rootkits might have trouble persisting?

The climate is not static. The conclusion that manmade factors are accelerating it does not perclude the slow warming phenomenon already in effect.

Nonetheless, you are arguing past each other. The answer, is no matter how much is, or is not man-made, we stand to profit as a species if we combat what we can without causing greater harm by proxy.
Well when you take the words climate change literally and ignore what it means in context, yeah, you're absolutely right.

-----------------

Hello :)

I am looking for fully remote positions, ideally Frontend, since I have most experience with this, but am always willing to dive deeper into other technologies since I love challenges and broadening my knowledge.

I prefer working within a team, since this helps me learn a lot from other devs, and write better code thanks to their tips and feedback, and hopefully the more experience I get the more others will be able to learn from me.

While I don't have lots of years of work experience, I do have lots of motivation and interest in improving my skills and becoming a better developer, I work hard to achieve my goals, and have great attention to detail and communication skills.

If you think I might be the person you need in your team, don't hesitate to reach out!
You’re missing the point. If Twitter had a spine and was actually acting in good faith in accordance with their rules they would have issued a ban years ago. They would have done a lot of other things too so this is purely a hypothetical. They waited until after confirmation of the election and strong evidence that the powers that be are now firmly on their side before lifting a finger.
I’ve heard another similar documentary is “Fourteen's Good, Eighteen's Better”.

It’s well known that events get coverage almost inversely proportional to how frequently they occur. But the day to day stories in these films tell us so much more about our culture than e.g. Tiger King. And in 28 years our children will find them just as exotic.
As HN user timdaub stated earlier in the thread,

> in order to transact "off-chain", a user had to transfer some money into a bridge

I believe that this is the main problem with side chains.
I'm confused as to what your point is. The title had to do with indie books, not indie games. The two aren't really comparable in this scenario because indie games rely on the creativity of the people making them. The reason they're called indie is because people can't afford a large budget because they're not from or related to a major company.

If we take the same definition, as you did, and apply it to books written for developers, then I'm afraid an "indie book" in your context would be literally anything written by anyone on the internet.

My definition was that indie implied a sort of "unknown," as indie games often are.
I love the idea of writing a Navier Stokes simulation on a fluidic based processor.
What is the geographic distribution of the problem? I would expect it to be very uneven.
Its such a great piece of history. Something that was not possible until this century, but an pure history. I feel sorry for the people involved who may not have been able to correct consent at 7 years old. But it show real human sprit - adoption to foster carer.

> Though of course it would just mean some types of pictures are withheld, not all.

Calculating where something is from light and shadows, is not that difficult. If you're trying to protect the location of a dig, it is usually safer to not release any photos at all.

For example, last year's desert monolith didn't have its location shared on purpose, but with a little footage it took the public all of two days to locate it, by working out which flight path the helicopter took.

Images leak location information.
> It should be noted that increased infectiousness will inherently result in a larger number of deaths, even if it is not "deadlier".

That's wrong if this virus, like many other viruses, is mutating to become simultaneously more infectious and less lethal.

The author isn't writing for a hypothetical future HN audience. They're writing for their blog audience who, presumably, 99.9% know what it means.
I've also found that being forthright about your mistakes gives credence to your _disavowal_ of responsibility. When it's not your fault and everybody's looking for a root cause, if you're known as someone who is quick to admit fault, then when you deny it everybody accepts it.
The problem with this argument is that you are presenting truth and falsity as a binary quantity. While it's correct that there is no statement free of bias, it does not follow that all statements are equally biased. Fox news seems pretty darn biased to me. The NY times is less biased, but it's definitely slipped a lot.
It’s not for performance. It’s to settle an old grudge with Docker. All code coming from Docker must be erased.

No, anyone who understands the Bitcoin protocol knows that energy doesn't scale with transactions. Read the paper. You could have your laptop sign a million transactions and it would be secure.

Energy scales with competition to sign transactions. Read the Bitcoin white paper my dude.
And it's too bad that most kernels (including Linux and Windows) put userspace in the low half of the address space. In the upper half of a 48-bit address space (or even 51-bit), all valid pointers, if interpreted as IEEE-754 doubles, are NaN, so you get NaN boxing without performing any arithmetic. (Though, if you want NaN-boxed nullable pointers, you'll need to pick a special value for nullptr.)
Thanks for sharing this. I've been going crazy with the Windows 10 machine starting up by itself at random times. I searched online, and I think I did disable the wake timers, but I certainly didn't do it on all the power management profiles. I'll have to check this one out again.

If there's one thing I've seen with Windows, it's consistent in how annoying it can be in every release.
>>Keeping up with latest tech stack helps. Moving up the seniority levels helps. Moving from company to company helps.

I think this is the key. I'm over 50, and never had any issues with ageism (or none that I'm aware of). I took a new position in Nov. and was lucky enough to be able to pick and choose, as there is a shortage of people that can do the work.

If you're more expensive then average, you have to have skills that pay better then average. If your competing against recent grads with much lower cost, you have to be able to show the value in paying you more.

I suspect as techies, we just assumed the "20% raise at each new position" would continue forever. Now we have to work harder to show why we're worth the additional cost.
Its a predominantly republican politician led position. Likely not mainstream among actual constituents, just corruption among the politicians. But if there are any who can defend the practice, I'm interested to hear.

You need to comment more on HN. Everytime I see your username I think "Why doesn't he have more karma - he typically responds with gems."

He goes on and on about about backup and restore and bandwidth. Unless they've changed something an iOS upgrade is just an OS image - upgrading from 3.1.1 to 3.1.2 is a 350mb download, which is really stupid. Going from 2.2 to 2.3 on the Nexus one was ~40mb download (doable OTA), while 2.2.1 to 2.2.2 was something like 700kb.
Eek!

Number 4, misuse of closures refactored the code into something equivalent, but both have circular reference memory leak, bad form of the author to create an example of something with other bad code in the snippet.

A much nicer answer would be to refactor into the non-leaking version, which was very straightforward from the first snippet.

function createAlert(a, b, c, d) {
return function() {
alert (a + b + c + d);
}
}

function(a, b, c) {
var d = 10;
var element = document.getElementById(‘myID’);
element.onclick = createAlert(a, b, c, d);
}

This will no longer leak and is much easier to read.

The author tries to give an example of a non-leaking version further down, but unfortunately tryies to delete a variable, which is not allowed in strict mode.

delete element; // bad

a much nicer version is to delete the callback from the element instead (from within the callback closure itself).

delete element.onclick;

(or just use the non-leaking version in my comment in the first place).

Couldn't see any other problems on quick glance.
Or share it only with yourself on Facebook.

Had they let me edit the tweet to something more reasonable without BIG CAPS (FREE!) letters I would have happily shared it with my friends and colleges. As it was, it wasn't the type of spam ad I'd like to be publicly associated with.
Cheating leads to a F, what the heck is that about?

At my university, in Sweden, cheating means suspension (that includes plagiarism) for up to 10 weeks. Just last week 5 different cases got 8 weeks each..

Yep. I went to school with a bunch of the Infocom guys and was an unofficial beta tester for them at one point.
For some time I thought I was the only one with issues on LinkedIn. I'm happy to see I was wrong.
My fundamental issue with it is that I believe it takes more from the society than what it gives back, it's extractive. On a world where inequality is rising and unemployment is hitting records on multiple countries, LinkedIn keeps its approach of having to pay $29 to see more things and get advantages. If you're based in countries where $29 is too much, too bad for you.
Its purpose is to make money with my job search, not with the fact that I found a job.
LinkedIn is malware. Any proper secured network that care about its users block it.
As a follow up, I actually changed my mind. I've ordered both, I'm going to review them and hopefully do some development for them.

I'm considering trying to drop my day job hours to 4 days so I have more freedom for side projects and this might be the nudge I needed.
It is not a login process. It is a poorly designed account merge system.
Perhaps not, but they do have the priority inbox feature that works nearly as well once it's been trained.

To be fair I hadn't considered it from the point of view of web site copy. I'm writing more about on the phone and face to face communication (having just got off the phone to a guy working from his flat on his own, who hasn't registered his company yet but talks like he's IBM).

I'm surprised I didn't notice your use of we, but to be fair when I linked to Bingo Card Creator I was thinking more about the Kalzumeus blog.

So today I've learnt I suck at blogging as I need to be clearer, and make sure I reference the things I'm actually thinking about when I write rather than leaving things open to interpretation.

As for the Dale Carnegie reference, any other tips?
And REST is a way of building Web services.
Ironically, the "French Crush" commercial directly advertised this transaction. Play cute music against a cute story and highlighting the fact that you can be very accurately understood and predicted based on Google searches becomes heartwarming.
As I like to put it:

Sure there's people who make spurious claims, and a few who get paranoid and blame discrimination for every setback they have. But that's sort of not relevant. The existence of mis-diagnoses and hypochondriacs doesn't disprove the existence of a disease.

Some public high schools offer programs like this, that let students accumulate some college credits while still in high school. This can shave a year off your 4 year degree.
Funny how people are jumping out of the woodwork to defend racism. There's literally no context where attributing qualities to people based on their skin color is OK.

When did we go back to the 1950s? I sure hope you don't feel comfortable being this racist in real life.

If there’s more stuff to buy, then prices wouldn’t change for the existing stuff. Additionally, if most of the additional money isn’t spent, only saved, it wouldn’t spark inflation.
In most cases in the past, the printing of money has actually been the effect, and not the cause, of problems like hyperinflation:

* https://clintballinger.wordpress.com/2021/01/12/the-myth-of-...

As a linked-to IMF paper observes (Benes and Michael Kumhof 2012, p. 12):

> To be fair, there have of course been historical episodes where government-issued currencies collapsed amid high inflation. But the lessons from these episodes are so obvious, and so unrelated to the fact that monetary control was exercised by the government, that they need not concern us here. These lessons are: First, do not put a convicted murderer and gambler, or similar characters, in charge of your monetary system(the 1717-1720 John Law episode in France). Second, do not start a war, and if you do, donot lose it (wars, especially lost ones, can destroy any currency, irrespective of whether monetary control is exercised by the government or by private parties).

With unemployment, the velocity of money decrease. Non essential goods like tech is deflationary over time, but food and rent is not. The rich few can absorb costs whether it is food, rent or tech, but the poor and unemployed mass can only absorb so much, and they will use it for rent and food, but not other non essential goods. Therefore no inflation. i.e, grocery price might increase but an iPad will still cost the same.
>Won't many of the projects in the Ubuntu repositories be unavailable because of architectural reasons, i.e. ARM phones versus x86/64 desktops?

Almost the entirety of Linux userland software is very portable because the server space needs it to run on x86/sparc/power/itanic/whatever. There are exceptions but they tend to be rare and temporary, because hardware vendors don't want customers switching to x86 just because foo app doesn't run on their architecture, and for open source apps the hardware vendors can fix it themselves.

Meanwhile Linux is about the only sensible thing you can currently install on the vast expanse of old PowerPC Macs that can't run current versions of MacOS but can run current versions of Ubuntu or Debian, so any that get recycled into a personal server or a DVR box or whatever will have users pointing out any problems and requesting they be fixed.

And for the most part portability is portability: If you find x86 assembly somewhere and replace it with portable C and an ifdef to use the asm only on x86, or fix an endian issue, you haven't just fixed it for PowerPC or SPARC, you've fixed it for everyone.

This, incidentally, is why having a single architecture is so unhealthy: It promotes everyone forgetting about portability entirely, which prevents new, better architectures from taking hold merely because it's so much more work to port the existing installed base of software.
Tell me about it. I started that game a while back and at first I was having fun in the starting area right outside my house but soon I exhausted most of what there was to do there. I decided to try visiting one of the more populated areas but it seemed like the game was designed so that getting there without use of a vehicle would take a ridiculously long time. The game developers wanted me to pay cash for their "public transport" system which was crowded and not all that reliable so soon I was hooked and had spent a even more of my money on a vehicle of my own. As it turns out even that requires "fuel" and "maintenance".
Actually, the WINE and ReactOS teams share a lot of code.
We touched on it in middle school as well, in that we all read Farewell to Manzanar, but it never came up again during my schooling. Its a sad part of our history that deserves more attention.
I wonder how you square this with your past, as I understand, as an online poker pro?

As a former professional poker player myself, it never would occur to me to denigrate the work of financiers or suggest that what they were doing was immoral. I was able to morally justify my occupation to myself.. and, as such, it is orders of magnitude easier to justify theirs.
The further something gets in the past, the less direct impact it has on current people, so the less need for hushing up there is.

Unfortunately, that window in the middle is when the talking really needs to happen and when the most revisionism can occur.
umm don't know if I'd call that "extremely bad." I was applying for TS in the US and I had a very different experience to admitting experimenting. They understood and it didn't influence me while cleared. YMMV.

I'm a pretty big fan of Ontario's parclo design (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parclo).

The most standard design (called A4 in the wikipedia article) has the same amount of traffic lights as this design. There is no driving on the left, no weaving, and there are no left turns with oncoming traffic.

Access onto the highway is a right turn for all directions. Access from the highway is light-controlled right or left turn. The highway has more capacity than the intersecting road, so while dumping traffic from the road onto the highway at a maximum rate using the easy right turns is fine, the light at the exit off the highway serves as rate limiter if necessary so that the road is not overwhelmed with traffic.
