It doesn’t, directly. But if you’re far away from SF and all you see is this headline, it reads as “the ruling class did some dumb woke stuff again”. How can you respect them? How can you be confident the wokeness won’t spread?
The real thing UBI must be paired with is a Land Value Tax. This helps prevent landlords from extracting the wealth, since their land-based monopoly won't give them profits; it gets recycled back into state programs (like UBI).
Web "standards" are majorily screwed up. We can't build tools like interactive charts, such as an ERD editor, because the charting and drawing tools are separate from the data entry tools (INPUT tags etc.). And they still don't directly support rich GUI's. Thus, a lot of common UI idioms have to be reinvented via bloated buggy slow JavaScript libraries.

I propose web standards be refactored and split into 3 categories: A) Art, media, & entertainment. B) Documents and brochures, and C) CRUD, GUI, Data, productivity

They would overlap as much as practically possible, but could also specialize in their respective niche better.
Actually A1243 has an internal USB hub with two ports on both sides of the bump underneath. Those ports are very handy for Logitech wireless adapters: wherever the keyboard is plugged to the mouse comes with it.
Interestingly, this development comes at a moment of history when interracial marriages and children are at a record high.

The only way how to square this growing complexity of ethnic mixtures with a rigid racial system is something like "one drop rule" akin to the old South.
Could you please develop how to do paging with window functions?

It's been some time since I've done serious work with SQL yet I remember that all paging solutions I've found (eg. top results on SO) are always platform-specific so having a platform-independent way of doing it would mean I could finally try to remember it.
_Why_ do you need to test all potential combinations? Just test the critical paths, setup error tracking, and handle the longtail of bugs as they come up. Unless you're building a moon rover this level of granularity is unnecessary.

Because there are still too many voters who think people who don't/won't work will benefit and they hate that. No, really, that is it.

Yes they should and in some ways they are with various laws aiming to curb the power of large (US) tech companies. They also seem to have stronger laws protecting domestic industries than the US although I might be wrong. Europe failing to protect itself properly against either the US or China (see how much of UK infrastructure is owned by China) isn't an argument for other nations not doing so.

The first Linux container implementation to my knowledge was linux-vserver, which shipped in 1998. Solaris Zones shipped in 2004. So, yeah, like... forever.
Well, I don't know what I have to offer to you in terms of a promise that I won't judge you or pry too deeply into your private life but I really have no good reason to do so. I will gladly share with you all that you want to know about me before we get started if you would like. I really just love helping people out, especially with technology. I started out working towards a career in education (with 12 years of experience) but changed over to programming and web development which is my current career. At some point I want to loop back around and teach some sort of technology discipline to come full circle with my original intentions.

> One simple unknown detail (in that international trade deal the others are secretly working against you, the deck of cards is fixed in that poker game) makes all your rational actions lead you to disaster.

The rational things to do in the trade deal example are:

1: have an intelligence agency so you don’t get surprised by such plans

2: have a backup plan for how to deal with the inevitable time when someone else’s interests are anti-aligned with your own

A rationalist playing poker with a dodgy deck will notice this by virtue of the improbable happening too often.

I don't work in Investment Banking but I've heard a ton of anecdotal reports that in IB at places like GS the "Work from home" has made their already long hours even worse.

Even before Covid they worked 80-100+ hour weeks 7 days a week. Now that everyone is home all the time the expectations are that you're never "off" as before you'd at least get to go home for 4-6 hours and get some sleep.

I don't know how much of that is self driven vs top down but IB is one of the few jobs where it seems like a lot of people are looking forward to going back to the office from what I've seen.
Sure, it’s all linked. I think a big factor overlooked here is the interest in hiring locally... I suspect the people paying wages are somewhat invested in the local economy - especially the property market. I wouldn’t expect a major shift before those investors have adjusted their portfolio accordingly ... I.e. no time soon. Just a suspicion, what would I know.
> remove all third party services/javascript from my website

Congratulations on that! I personally believe it should be the foundation for any website, but well...

> how vulnerable to spam it is, I suppose

This depends on how you implement it. You may implement simple rate-limiting/quotas, manual verification, or go the fancy way and implement signatures and/or vetting (not widely implemented yet in the ecosystem).

> I'm using cloudflare

Please consider not doing that. It's even worse than having 3rd party JS on your website. At least with 3rd party JS, i can disable JS in my browser or use an adblocker. When you use Cloudflare, you ask a private company to strip & search every person who'd like to access your website, and many persons are stuck in the process.

Cloudflare does have an option to let users from Tor access your website. But if you don't tick it, the default setting will leave all privacy-sensitive people at your doorstep, with a bad experience of your site. If JS is enabled, the CAPTCHA will loop forever driving us insane. If JS is disabled, the CAPTCHA won't even load.

Cloudflare is one of the worst things that can happen to Internet freedom, by centralizing all communications (especially as part of a free tier that encourages many non-profits to move over) and terminating TLS connections on there. If you enjoy free-software, privacy and computing ethics, please never use any Cloudflare product or equivalent. If you have problems with DDOS, many hosting providers have very good solutions that do not infringe on your or your readers' privacy.
Tech pays so much more though, and you don’t have to kill yourself either for it? (genuinely can’t imagine doing 80-100 hour work weeks)

IBD is a dead meme at this point in my opinion. Like how being a lawyer used to be the most lucrative career path.
Like google glass this seems almost more interesting in a business or office environment.

There are many situations where your inventory runs low of something fairly obscure. Having the employee press the "order more" button and have shit show up is productivity boost. Sure, you could accomplish the same with a barcode and scanner app, but it is a little bit more automation.
If it's any consolation, Amazon leading on this technology will make it much easier for people to raise money for any of the ventures you listed.
Working at Google, Blaze is one of the technologies that amazes me most. Any engineer can build any Google product from source on any machine just by invoking a Blaze command. I may not want to build GMail from source (could take a while) but it's awesome to know that I can.

I think this could be hugely useful to very large open source projects (like databases or operating systems) that may be intimidating for contributors to build and test.
Code generation is a giant spiked mallet for a nail which can easily be screwed with a small screwdriver. It has its uses, especially for generating schemas (like what Protobuf and Capnproto do), but for generating actual function implementations it's kind of absurd. `go generate` is a nice tool but it's not even remotely a solution to the no-generics problem.

Of course, the problem is that for the compiler implementation, those traits are completely reversed (adding generics at this point is like hitting the compiler with a mallet); and that happens to be Go's primary excuse for lack of generics/templating/macros/anything sane. I think dev ease-of-use matters a lot more than core dev ease-of-use though. Even if the compiler must grow in complexity and average compile time, the benefits to devs are worth it.
Ignoring the product which seems to be pretty nice especially for that price, I found the review which was mostly about showing charts and comparisons to be pretty poor.

It seems some charts they've omitted models to compare, and they're comparing it to 1-2 year old models of competitors (no 2015 MBA, sometimes a 2013 MBP).

It would have also been nice to see SSD benchmarks considering how Anand has typically pretty good at reviewing SSDs in the past.
Ah, the voice of an older brother, taking time to criticize the little ones while urging them to try harder.

Alexander from Realm here. I agree that deployments are not the only (or even nessesarily most interesting) metric of usage. But it is a good example of how remarkable mobile growth is. At this point there are just crazily many more mobile devices out there than there ever was on the backend and server side.

It is an interesting metric for us, given that sqlite has for a long time (rightfully) claimed to be the most widely deployed datebase in world, which is also primarily based on their usage on mobile devices.
I'm curious about your last paragraph. Certainly on-demand video is subject to buffering, but the rest of that doesn't seem to be my experience at all. We watch both Netflix and Youtube content at home on multiple clients (e.g. browesr, phones, the now-ancient Netflix app on the TiVo HD...) and while obviously we've seen the occasional network failure I don't think any of them seem to be service-specific.

Basically, watching "premium" 720p+ content on Youtube provides virtually indistinguishable quality and reliability. Is that really not your experience?
"They do not have the right to unilaterally decide to violate a lawful order because they think it is better for humanity at large."

What you should say is,

"They will be prosecuted if they unilaterally decide to violate a lawful order, even if they think it is better for humanity at large."

And I would add, "And sometimes duty to humanity will compel them to accept that they will be prosecuted, and they have to unilaterally decide what is right."

The internet of things. Sensors everywhere. 3d printing. open design. manufacturing getting smaller and more personalized. drones will become legal to fly commercially soon in US(maybe). if transportation gets disrupted with cars that drive themselves, what could you do with a drivable car api.

A kickstarter project reached $10 million. what kind of project can get created with say $100 million?
OK, and what unconstitutional activity was revealed by the release of many thousands of State Department cables? I mean, it's all very well to say that Manning saw the government was violating the Constitution, but I would like some specific examples of what he revealed. Abuses such as the operation of Abu Ghraib were not exposed by Manning.

Manning joined the Army in late 2007/early 2008, by which time the US had been involved in what a lot of people (including myself) consider to have been an illegal war in Iraq for 4-5 years; one in which the existence of appalling human rights abuses such as torture and extraordinary rendition were well documented, and which by then was well understood by the public to have been predicated on faulty intelligence.

It seems to me that if you have a negative view of war and militarism, then you should probably not join the organization involved in fighting that war in the first place. You could serve your country perfectly well and without taking part in military aggression by, say, joining the Coast Guard.

Frankly, I think the only reason Manning has hero status on HN is because he was a computer nerd, and so other computer nerds are willing to suspend their critical faculties because they can identify with him. I can identify with him up to a point, but not to the point of wanting to join the army 5 years into a clusterfuck like the Iraq war run by an administration that had tossed things like the Geneva convention out the window.

About: Full stack web dev here with a bias towards the backend. On my own time I prefer to use python for web work and C#/Unity for game dev, but I'm a big proponent of using the right tools for the job. I'm good at turning domain knowledge into software and getting up to speed on preexisting code bases. Ideally looking for a role doing something socially conscious and interesting!!!

It's a dishonest benchmark. You're basically saying that "V compiles fast if you use a fast C compiler after the transpilation step", and wrapping it up as "V compiles fast". Those two are not exactly the same.
What is he referring to, "HEB"?
Yes. All the feasible proposals for ground based kinetic launch have involved significantly high percentages of thermal shield materials. We basically do cover it it big aerodynamic heat shields.

I've recently spent some time in a small beach community, where they set up a Facebook page for the village. It's extremely active, from lost cats, local store offerings, small-crime reports and what that new restaurant opening in 2 weeks is. It's been amazing to watch people come out of the woodwork when history questions are asked.

Since so many people are already on Facebook, it might make sense for LocalWiki to leverage this with an app, rather than hope for natural migration.

The only users bitching for bare-bones Android are a very small market segment. Only nerds like us really know the difference.

I personally think that Nokia adopting an OS other than one they control would be foolish. Their hardware is decent, but they need more control to create a compelling user experience.
Why do you think it's nothing too serious?
A lot of companies avoided these as originally MS made the company liable for ensuring that the software was uninstalled from the home machine when the individual left the company. As a result the companies said screw that and just never made it available to staff (rightly working out that there was no way that could make that guarantee).

I believe that this restriction has been lifted now though so some may revisit it.
AFAIK it does. It's how museums make money with reproductions. I might be wrong on this though.
> [...] that it would only ever hand out in response to malloc() attempts inside a SIGNOMEM handler.

POSIX doesn't allow malloc() to be called inside a signal handler at all. Also, when free():ing memory that is allocated with malloc(), there is absolutely no guarantee that the memory is ever returned back to the OS (i.e. via munmap() or sbrk()), due to possible memory fragmentation.

In other words, it's just wouldn't be practically possible to create an application that uses standard memory allocation functions and reliably can free some memory back to the kernel.

ITER was supposed to achieve fusion in 2016, but that has now been delayed until 2026:

When ITER first received formal approval in 2006, it was slated to first achieve fusion in 2016, a date which has since been pushed back at least 10 years. Issues with component construction and design disagreements have been blamed for the delays.[1]

> People's expectations about a faster fusion timeline were always based on funding that never manifested.

ITER was initially budgeted €5 billion which was provided, then jumped to €15 billion, which was also provided:

The project was officially begun in 2006 with an estimated cost of €5 billion and date for the beginning of operations—or first plasma—in 2016. Those figures quickly changed to €15 billion and 2019, but confidence in those numbers has eroded over the years.[2]

And yet the timeline just for ITER to do an experimental run is still 10 years, and then:

If everything goes to plan, ITER will pave the way for another reactor, called DEMO, which will expand the technologies perfected by ITER to an industrial scale, and hopefully prove that nuclear fusion is a viable source of energy.[2]

> See https://i.imgur.com/3vYLQmm.png

Very unclear where these predictions and budget numbers come from. Apart from the 1976 budget, the rest just seem to be made up, and the end dates seem arbitrary.

Take an R-1 neighborhood. Don't necessarily allow 10 floor buildings, though that wouldn't be the end of the world. Maybe allow 25% of houses to be turned into duplexes, even less of a change than row houses. That alone would increase units available.

Cloudflare and Daily Stormer is another good example. The mistake there was the implication that Cloudflare was endorsing the stormer rather then being a neutral carrier and Cloudflare shut down that idea quickly. I have to applaud them, it’s hard to be neutral in the US, everything is “with us or against us.” People watch too many gangster movies I think.

> Without at least the illusion of free will, there cannot be any discussion or argument, as that presupposes free will and an ability to change one’s mind in response to evidence.

I don't think this follows, as logic (i.e. the "rules" of argument) aren't predicated on any notion of free will. You can still have good arguments, bad arguments, right arguments, and wrong arguments, in a perfectly deterministic universe.
