> This would be a good time to mention that sway doesn't support the nvidia proprietary driver

It's rather nvidia proprietary driver that doesn't support standard Wayland protocols and thus doesn't work with Sway not the other way around.

See this for details: https://drewdevault.com/2017/10/26/Fuck-you-nvidia.html
I've used this site many times without any issues, which is all I can ask for from a government funded service. I've even had a good experience resolving a refund. The campground maps are valuable for booking tent camp sites. It helps to know where sites are relative to bathrooms and other common areas.
My proposal: assign the management of the old core generic top-level domains to the United Nations. Raise the price to maybe $50 per domain. This will make domain hoarders/squatters unregister millions of domains. Use the money collected for the benefit of mankind (earmark the money).
> that there's something about stable, market-oriented democracies

Yeah, things are stable when economy is good (worked for Yugoslavia too) but what's going to happen in case of huge economic downturn like in the 30thies with millions out of work?

Attitudes of people change as a reaction to the changes in their environment (real or perceived). And you don't need a majority, you just need a critical mass of people to
stray and start chain of events that effects everyone.

I certainly believe that market-oriented democracies are more stable than Yugoslavia, I'm just not sure how much more stable they are.

Maybe I'm just to pessimistic after everything that happened in the last 30 years here.
> DNS, with groups of people running TLDs, is the best we’ve come up with so far.

Is it? I'm not very familiar with the domain, so I'm actually asking. Generally, I'm very cautious when someone says that current state of affairs is the best we have come up with, because it doesn't acknowledge the inertia to keep things as they are.
> Are you willing to give the same power you want, to tell us what facts are, to your political opponents?

Not sure what's up with this thought, as it's repeated many times in the comments here.

You don't give power to the opponents, they either take it, or they are elected. They'll be able to make their own laws, or cancel old ones, regardless of what you want or do now.
> police officer died in a riot all last year

When did this happen?
I think the Havok engine ran on that on software mode too, at least for the first Max Payne. I remember forgetting to install NV drivers back in the day, and the game launched smoothly at 640x480 with no issues. Ok, it was uber-grainy, but still playable.
The President called for his supporters to disrupt the election certification process for an election he lost. And they did.

You really going to ignore that context?

Really?

You really going to say that BLM protests against well demonstrated police brutality against minorities is the same?

??
I've actually thought about making something like this.

My reasons: collaborative coding + debugging, and IDEs without needing an environment aside from your browser (coding + compiling + debugging code on the device it's made for).
For some reason it doesn't click for the author that real capitalism is not compatible with:

"a thuggish, lawless society."
"Handouts" is an excessively and inaccurately pejorative way of describing all that.

The military was buying real stuff, e.g. RADARs, that had real, measurable characteristics (can you detect a plane at this distance).

And it was used in real life:

In the mid-late '50s my father was the First Lieutenant on the USS Searcher (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Searcher_%28AGR-4%29), a radar picket ship stationed in the North Atlantic. While based in Newport, Rhode Island, she would occasionally stop in Boston for installation of a new RADAR system, most likely the product of Route 128 and/or Silicon Valley.

She would then steam out for a few days to shake it down, drop back to Boston to drop off the civilian technicians and return to station.
"have a huge impedance mismatch with Clojure"

Do you mind expanding on this?
Well, it is in a sense.
If you look at the code I put on github, you will see I tested this exact bit of code. It does produce good assembly but I left it out because the post was already long, and it obfuscates -why- this improvement improves performance.

Your second comment (about out == in), is a bit trickier. This is obviously a contrived example. In a normal gaussian filter, you'd want the filter centered so that the effective indexes of the filter are -2 .. 2, not 0 .. 5. This makes (out == in) a trickier problem to solve. I didn't really want to get into those details in the post.
Yes, I also always look at diffs after a merge, and also before I commit. Several times I've caught changes that I really didn't want to go back to the branch.
Ayn Rand was an admirer of child killer William Hickman, who dismembered a little girl.

Yeah, it seems that a lot of these statistics refer to establishments - to me, an establishment is a startup that has gotten far enough to incorporate, get funding, and so on, and I don't think that equates to startups in general.
Can't fool myself. I'm too smart.
Thanks for the advice! I've removed the extra links. For some reason, it has never occurred to me.
I had high hopes for this article, but it failed to live up to it's lofty (linkbait) title.

This to me is the crucial part of the article:

"But since the 1970s there has been a decline in the quality of people in the key jobs in NASA, and elsewhere – because organizations no longer seek to find and use the best people as their ideal but instead try to be ‘diverse’ in various ways (age, sex, race, nationality etc)."

"And also the people in the key jobs are no longer able to decide and command, due to the expansion of committees and the erosion of individual responsibility and autonomy."

Neither of these means individuals' peak capability has declined, but the environment has changed. Bureaucracy, positive-discrimination (versus meritorcracy) may be stifling it, but that is a different argument.

The author then completely discredited himself with the following:

" ...swiftly win wars against weak opposition and then control the defeated nation, secure national borders......"

Since when is swiftly subduing and controlling weaker opposition regarded as the high water mark of human achievement?

Renaissance Italy produced some of the finest artists that ever lived, yet Northern and Central Italy at the time could hardly be described as military superpowers with secure borders. City states would use mercenary armies to frequently wage war against one another.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_Renaissance#Internation...

EDIT: grammar
I think I kind of know what the author was getting at, but I'm not sure, and ending with the moral equivalent of "If you disagree with me, I guess you're just stupid" was a bit disappointing.

I think the idea is the potential problems with this could emerge if you have two people simultaneously doing somewhat larger complicated merges that have this core problem perhaps more than once. I think that may be true, but the probability of this occurring is well below just plain-old-fashioned human screwups, and the solution to both ("laborious history comparison, examination, and a reset --hard to a hash by somebody") is the same in both. I really don't see how fixing this would solve any real-world problem.

At $work, developers don't get root on their Linux workstations (for annoying legacy reasons that I'm sort of personally trying to fix, but the major one is NFS). We gave people rootless Docker and it seems to work pretty well for the goal of letting people try out software that's most easily packaged as a Docker container. If it seems promising we'll want to package it better, integrate it with our access control systems, etc., but rootless Docker gives users a way to evaluate whether that work is worth doing at all.
I just forwarded all the email to fast mail and it has worked properly.
> Julia uses a method JIT, which are quick to implement, but which makes latency gets bad. Meaning if you load a whole new package, running the first function can cause some delay. With a JavaScript style tracer JIT added into the mix one could have probably managed to have both high performance and low latency.

This is actually the other way around -- Method JITs are harder to implement and all the major JavaScript JITs are method JITs, not tracing JITs. There are many reasons that contribute to the latency but I don't see what makes method JITs inherently slower than tracing JITs.
So the suburbs were first, who’d a thunk it?

The cities that arose out of the long history of tropical agriculture weren’t high-density clusters of stone buildings ringed by farms like many ancient cities. Instead, they were low-density sprawl that incorporated large swatches of farmland into the urban fabric. Homes and public dwellings were made from earth and perishable plant materials. Though impressive, these urban features quickly returned to wilderness after people had abandoned them.
I assume you mean 1890s?
Country? Culture will have an impact here.

Honestly it sounds like you are abdicating yourself of responsibility, To be blunt Have you asked for more work?

Especially in the current situation with COVID it could be that you are simply not his top priority, maybe he assumes you have work to do and is focusing on others.

So recommendations.

- Talk to him, do not mention 'being ignored' simply tell him you're interested in the current projects and would like to be involved.

- If he is hostile/unhelpful during the conversation and decides to continue not providing work, start exploring new job options.
Unless it means you won’t get credit.

Edit: Like how apparently not having any social media accounts can weigh against you, if asked to produce them, when attempting to enter certain countries.
For all its faults, the recently-proposed NSTIC should solve this problem. Ultimately, any solution is going to require expensive in-person enrollment.
> Steve's point about Clojure having a limited time to gain acceptance before it's considered "over" is valid

Is there an hourglass somewhere?

In any case, nothing's even close to "over" or "dead at the starting gate". If that were the case, you wouldn't have messages like this: http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/msg/661747c952310b41

Programming language adoption happens one developer at a time. If the silly TIOBE index is one's preferred benchmark, it's worth noting that every single language in the top 50 has been around for decades (with the exception of Go and F#, which have generous and powerful corporate sponsors).
This is very similar to my http://pagekite.net/, which offers both free trials and CNAME records already.

They're out-marketing me, I guess. It looks nicely done!
Glad to see that my explanation wasn't hopelessly incomprehensible.

Now if only JS supported immutability... I think I'll go learn some more Clojure. :)
I don't know if they are rotating those questions, so i took a screenshot.

I would be happy if everyone in the US that felt this way would move to one of the 20 or so countries that offer this instead of trying to bring it here. I would rather live in a country where 0% of my pay is taken for services I don't use but I don't really have that option. You can move to your dream country I can't so please do so.
Thanks, but when I'm at work I use headphones (as I assume most folks do.) It's easiest to just plug them into my iPhone. (I do keep a power cord around for the phone.)

Has the additional side benefit that my play counts stay more accurate.
It's true that meta posts are like crack and it's important not to overdo them, but I had a feeling this story might resonate with the community particularly well, and suggested to Victor that he post it. So if you want to blame someone it'll have to be me. More here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22053084.

This thread exceeded expectations, and reminds me of a thought I've often had: could we find some way to help HN users meet and support each other in the real world, to make more real connections? Hiring is an important special case of that, but not the whole story. It's also cool when people find friends, kindred spirits, collaborators, investors, and so on. Lots of this goes on and always has, but I wonder if we could catalyze more of it, without getting too formal or nannyistic. I think a lot of creative potential could be activated if more HN users connected with each other. Also, more interesting feedback loops happen when the loop passes between online and offline (as in the OP's case), so it would make HN better too.
So, it's possible. But why? Basic programming is trivial.
I'm pretty sure most of these patterns were thought up by the brain geniuses on this very site.

> If you were an early astronomer and you constructed the notion of ‘epicycles’ to simplify your model of planetary motion. You may use these ‘epicycles’ to justify your prediction, however you may not use a successful prediction to justify the existence of epicycles. Your epicycles may be useful until someone comes along and deems them unnecessary since planetary motion is better described by using elliptical orbits.

I couldn't comprehend the discussion until I read this metaphor. Thanks for the detailed explanation.
I'll be interested to see what information within this ebook more relevant or upto date than something like "Postfix the definitive guide" from the O'Reilly series. When I configured my first mail server it was all very cryptic but then I had very little sysadmin experience at the time. I honestly feel postfix is very easy to setup and its the main reason I chose it over other mail servers like exim, qmail or sendmail. I only became aware of the added performance bonus after running bulk mailing at 1 million emails per hour.
I design networks and systems that exist between stakeholders, vendors and support providers and internal IT groups as well as design the network infrastructure itself (Logical data flow, physical structure etc etc). Last project was to design and implement a network to provide tele-health and network services to 100 health centres in native communities throughout the province where I live utilizing a large provincial network called the SuperNet.
I wouldn't say based on, it actually takes place in the city.
There is no way to close the "Currently available cities". You should add an X or allow it to disappear when the user presses Esc or clicks outside

Really great site though!
You can click "Desktop" at the bottom. Then it becomes a wrapper for the desktop site. I don't...I don't really get this? Why did they release this? How is it in any way better than my docs.google.com bookmark?

I'm definitely disappointed.
" For example, instead of saying your position was for a guild in EVE, state that it was a leadership role in a 2500+ strong online community. Emphasize the elements of the position that directly relate to the skills that a prospective employer would hire you for"

Your comment has clearly been downvoted because it broke several of the site guidelines.

In particular, it's off topic here to make insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, and so on, without specific evidence. Somebody posting an comment you disagree with is evidence of nothing, except that people have various views.

> Wakamiya also teaches "Excel art," which uses the spreadsheet software to create designs.

I've worked at a couple of Japanese companies in Tokyo and am truly amazed at what they can do with Excel. Most recently, I had a co-worker create UI mockups in excel. It wasn't Sketch / Figma level of design -- but it was pretty effective at communicating what he needed.

On the other hand, some things are just down right atrocious like internal company pages with everyone's name and picture.
Is that a warning, or a mission objective?
That's not the issue. The issue is that as more of the web uses cloudflare, it becomes a gatekeeper of the web. Any person that cloudflare kicks out will be cut off from much of the web. (It's already happening, with people having to solve captcha like it's their day job)

Even if cloudflare doesn't misuse their power, something worse happens. Cloudflare becomes an easy OFF Switch for laws, warrants and copyright trolls to track people or kick both content and people off the internet.

Reminds me of how music developed over time. Opera was originally a reaction against the polyphonic vocal music before it. Opera started out as simple, one voice music which they believed was modelled on "ancient Greek style"; then it became progressively more complex until Wagner, then electric guitars, then folk/acoustic, etc..
Science makes it nonsense. Interacting with people (even someone by the name of Anne Osborne) doesn't count as science.
If Bitcoin can replace banks, who are using our money to invest in fossil fuels, why not. And it is mined once, when all the coins are mined, the mining stops.
Neither are the ads they serve; furthermore the amount of profanity detection required scales linearly with the number of pages on which ads are served, so this really shouldn't be a barrier.
Same here. That book and the Linux api book are just invaluable resources.
> Short of purchasing a honeypot property with (seemingly) no security system and going full Home Alone on the inside of it, it seems like you're going to need actual security at some point.

You mean men with guns stationed 24/7? There is no "actual security" against determined burglars available on the market for regular people. There's delaying action (e.g. laminated glass), noise making and deterrence (cameras). Each can be worked around.

This is also a general point on security: there's no perfect security, there's only adequate security - where "adequate" means it costs the attacker more to breach it than they can expect to profit. From this view, appearance of security is almost as good as actual security measures - you make security look expensive to breach, which achieves the same effect, as long as nobody is willing to call your bluff.
Optimism is socially useful. guarded pessimism is unavoidable from evolution. Humans psychologically want reinforcement of their own security i.e. group positivity. Evolution in groups means our unconscious does this without awareness. Negativity undermines the feeling of group security.
In a perfect world they would have bought Valve (to get Steam).
I'd be curious if the author had every tried psychodynamic therapy, which has a different approach from CBT.
"As I slipped open the sunshade of my spacesuit, I could see that the sky above was black. The curved white and blue Earth fell away below the horizon. Sailing like Icarus past 70,000 feet, I was now the 11th highest human on Earth. Soaring in a U-2 at the edge of space, this moment was one of the highlights of my life." – amazing... no amount of money could buy an experience like this.
Here's a summary of the discussion (RAML vs Swagger vs Apiary vs RSpec...) we had at Lonely Planet: https://lonelyplanet.atlassian.net/wiki/display/PUB/API+Spec...

5 months in, we're happy with API Blueprint. We used to use Dredd for API validation but ran into to some limitations:

- Dredd does not perform any validation against the siren response beyond the first key level. For example, it does not validate if the class-name is user-events, or usr-events

- Dredd does not make any difference between Action parameters and Resource parameters. Then, an action POST to create user-events will have undesired url parameters. E.G: POST /user-events?take=0&skip=2 (The apib blueprint specs allows to make this difference: https://github.com/apiaryio/api-blueprint/blob/master/exampl...)

So one of our devs created a Ruby validator, https://github.com/nogates/vigia. See http://engineering.lonelyplanet.com/2014/11/18/vigia-integra... if you're interested.
Broadband access is very much a requirement in America, and needs to be on the same list as housing, food, medical care, etc.
And there's more. You could be fairly affluent and have four children, each with their own console and mobile phone, but struggle to use corporate video conferencing software for them all in a single household, especially when parents and guardians also work from home. How many families have six computers?

How about children with SEN, who are now deprived of their teaching assistants while learning at home, and need an adult to assist them in their learning for five hours a day?

Then there's bandwidth. I am luckily able to provide computers to my two children, but when myself, my spouse and my kids are all online at the same time, as well as every other person in our estate, there are understandable capacity issues.

What about families that have access to technology, but not the physical space to allow all their children to home school and their parents to work from home simultaneously? How can you attend online lessons when you share a room with a sibling? Or have a baby screaming in the background while you're trying to learn algebra.

I'm not particularly bothered that religious communities are struggling at the moment. I am concerned that a generation of children are missing out on an education that most countries consider a fundamental right, and that the most disadvantaged and disaffected children are suffering the most.
No problem! And as just a note, it starts everyday since it is a reoccurring self-paced course. But if I remember correctly, the instructors still answer questions.

I really enjoyed learning about the hierarchical state machines using statecharts.
As I understand your point, your trying to make it from the other side, as in "I negotiated this pay level so that I can afford to pay more for my house."

It isn't an unreasonable argument. The author of the piece glosses over the level of preparation/skill and automated vs non-automated manufacturing[1] in their clothing worker argument. And of course the cost of goods for a shirt that cost $10 in labor vs one that cost $1 in labor won't retail for the same amount.

[1] Jobs that train "on the job" (erroneously called "low skilled") typically have a wider workforce to choose from and thus get more workers competing for jobs and thus and lower wages.
I guess it could be time shortage? You need to bring researchers and doctors together, doctors need to increase documentation on treatment at a time where they are already over capacity, studies need to be approved by regulators and ethic boards etc. The system is not designed to start massive amounts of studies within a week and I'm not sure how much of the red tape can be cut without endangering lives.
