It's interesting you bring up slavery.
I think I should be allowed to sell myself or kill myself if I wanted to. I certainly don't want society or a government to regulate on that.

Eg. I'd rather be a slave than starving on the road, I'd rather be dead than in some particular irreversible painful medical condition.

The only actions which are ethically wrong in my book are hurting someone else or damaging / stealing their property.
Incidentally the government breaks these rules legally everyday (eg. taxation, wars, spying on people).
I read The Naked Lunch a few years ago and I live in Boston, I hope I am not in trouble.

The first few chapters of the book are great but it soon gets repetitive.
In Finland, Local ”moderats” and liberals managed to cut over 1.5 billion euros from education in the past 10 years.

Pretty sure they have private venture backed school system in mind.
It's much further along than that.

I've been using FairEmail (from F-Droid) and it works extremely well. Looks better and seems more reliable to me.
No, do not touch the UI. If the UI is changed I don't pay! (half joking ;)
I can think of a few explanations for this, but one of the big ones is that the licensing requirements for teachers are often designed (deliberately or not...) as a barrier to late entry to the profession as you describe.

There’s been some movement here in the last few years in some places, for example up until very recently if you were a college professor interested in moving to the high school level somewhere like New York - sorry, no, you’re not qualified because you don’t have a degree in education.

There are positive spins for the types of credentialling that have evolved around the professions but I’d argue none of them are in the interest of students.

The DTC changed the collateral requirements to 100%. The WeBull CEO said that. That requires way more cash on hand to handle settlements compared to the norm which I think is 2-3%.

IMHO the DTC and prime brokers are all pals playing in the same fixed game. My baseless assumption is they’re manipulating the market by selling uncovered shorts to each other and since everyone is in on it / accustomed to it, no one ever comes to collect so there’s no risk of having to cover their uncovered shorts. They could be shorting 2000% of the float and no one would know if all the trading happens between complicit participants with the sole intent of driving share prices down.
I like Matt, but I think he's wrong.

Objective-C isn't going anywhere, just like C++ hasn't gone anywhere, nor has C left the building either.

There are 124 public frameworks in the 10.10 sdk, 357 private ones. While a good chunk of these are written in Objective-C, a good deal of them are written in C, or Objective-C with the guts in C++. AVFoundation, for example, is mostly C++ in the "backend".

The amount of effort it would take to move those to Swift would be fairly substantial, and with no real gain. This doesn't mean that new frameworks won't be written in Swift, but still interoperable with Objective-C, this will probably happen - though I doubt it'll happen in my development lifetime. So we are looking at a gradual replacement of frameworks, or superseding with newer ones (QuickTime -> AVFoundation -> ???).

He brings up Carbon, but erroneously as Cocoa actually predates Carbon and Carbon was only meant to serve as a compatibility bridge from OS 9 to OS X. Carbon was meant to die.

I don't plan to switch to Swift unless I absolutely have to. I spend 14 hours a day developing for OS X, but my problem isn't Objective-C, it's the ambiguous documentation and mildly temperamental behavior of certain frameworks coughAVFoundationcough. I didn't need Swift, wasn't looking for Swift. I have nothing against it, I'm sure it's awesome, but language isn't my issue at this point, so I don't really have much to gain by it.
The Germans tended to put their trainers into combat roles meaning that they had trouble training new pilots. In the later days of the war they sometimes told pilots to eject if they saw an enemy plane over friendly ground - there were plenty of airplanes so better to make it back alive and try again than to risk death.
A lot of early German books included alchemy: https://wiktenauer.com/wiki/Pol_Hausbuch_(MS_3227a)/11r_-_12...
The Swiss government gives you a gun during mandatory military service. A government directly providing weapons seems to be a pretty strong encouragement. You're correct in noting it comes with a fair amount of training in a country that has strong social programs, which makes direct correlation between gun ownership and violence complicated.
Re-read the previous sentences then?

Because you may prevent me from taking that seat without actually needing it. Sure you can but it's not nice to me.
To me it sounds (from comments, not article), that the reliance on tips is because ibstead of paying the wait staff a proper wage, they can set their menu/advertised price lower and make assumptions.

Now as someone who not obly worked in hospitality but also ran a few restaurants, this is an insane premise. How the hell could you rely in professional wait staff (not students but actual trained and comitted staff), if you cant guarantee them a good wage to vegin with.

Tipping is supposeto show your appreciated for exceptional service, to force your staff to assume its a guaranteed alotment is bullshit.

Also, im in japan now (out of hospitality yay), i get exceptional service everywhrre with no expectation of tips, and damned if i dont tip a hell of a lot more here.
Yeah, it's hard to justify when PIC has bytes of RAM and ARM has kB of RAM...
Looks pretty slick! Nice job!
https://github.com/blog/1981-large-scale-ddos-attack-on-gith... explicitly states that "We are currently experiencing the largest DDoS (distributed denial of service) attack in github.com's history".
True) I hired developers for Bitcoin directly and through Fiverr - they used to have a Bitcoin payment option.
While the odd 4-wheeler is loud and annoying, it's the motor-bike riders that produce the majority of the annoying loud noise.

I'm certain that most of them don't have any mufflers at all. <grin>
What? Just no, that's like how a Vespa moped an alternative to a Porsche car?
Although, in this specific case it's unfair to single out either White or Asian, but in general, Asians are punished the most in terms of Academics.
It probably took a while for the person on Reddit to get their order because they got it from a distributor who was filling all of their higher priority customers first. I bet Dell isn't even getting theirs from a distributor, I'd guess they get them directly from the manufacturer. There's a hierarchy to retail sales, and I'm sure even large miners aren't near the top of it.
Software is hard [0], especially in the face of a rapidly changing tech industry. Incumbents are upended on a regular basis and even the mightiest FOSS projects falter, some less violently than others.

Besides, stars may not be the right metric unlike community participation [1]. Could Flynn have picked up community participation had it been donated to a Foundation like, say, the Cloud Native Foundation?

Another reason could be that because momentum is everything when faced with stiff competition, things may have slowed down for Flynn.

Some of the things that slow projects down:

1. Overwhelming feature gap.

2. Spiralling technical debt.

3. Rise in dramatic hard-to-fix bugs.

4. Inadequate staffing / inability to keep up with the changing ecosystem.

Also, looks like the lead developer (@titanous) has deleted their blog and tweets too, and so, it is likely we will never know what went on. Hopefully, they consider publishing their thoughts so that we may all learn and improve.

I wonder if Pieter Hintjens (of the ZeroMQ fame) had the right idea that a software project should always attempt to reach "completion" and stay "completed". That is, you complete one key part after the other and build on top of that solid foundation that doesn't change...? This approach may help keep things in control for a small team of core developers to tackle issues arising from taking up as complex a task as Flynn's.

Dokku, Deis, Rancher, and finally Flynn. Another one falls. I've been around all these projects and small scale docker PaaS for almost a decade, and k8s has just killed them off, which is so sad. As you say, you don't always want to use k8s for a small three machine setup. I guess it was always going to happen, after containers stopped feeling cool, people stopped working on projects for them.
That's why I love the Nvidia Shield remote. It is triangle shaped, and it has accelerometer that lights up the buttons once you grab and move it.
Is there a reason you don't use Reddit for these stories? They have heaps of articles about bees, the TSA, and wikileaks.
Valid points, although I do not have enough experience with p2p networks (and almost no knowledge of skype's particular architecture) to judge but 20% - 30% of SN does seem substantial.

What I would like to see and couldn't find anywhere is more details on the objective impact it had on the users (number of users that had degraded/no service etc.). I think it would give a more complete picture.
Ironically, that's a good business idea for someone: 'MonetizeMe.com'

It would be a company that specialises in taking a working web-app and setting up the payment gateway and other details necessary for making it a commercial endeavour. In return they get a slice of the profit or something. While the original developer doesn't need to endure the headaches of commerce to reap the benefits.
Yes, finally remembered the blog of the sales guy who quit his job to learn how to code a few months ago! And he is still going!!

It's fascinating that once you let someone talk, how it changes the perspective.

You start reading feeling sick, to feel sorry at the end.
When we talk about Linux, we're usually talking about GNU/Linux. Android/Linux is a very different beast, and it's not pedantry to draw a distinction between them. The capabilities of GNU/Linux are closer to BSD than Android/Linux.
People have tried that, e.g. with Android apps. It doesn't turn out to be much better, actually quite worse sales wise.
> Actually, I am aware of another, much more serious problem with CoIC formalism which was found when Coq was tried to be used to formalize homotopy type theory. It was a bug in CoIC, not a software bug.

Do you have any references? Intrigued :)
I think I agree but isn't your last line a bit like saying "hammering in a nail is easy. The problem is that these screws aren't nails."

Chuck Close:
"I think while appropriation has produced some interesting work … for me, the most interesting thing is to back yourself into your own corner where no one else’s answers will fit. You will somehow have to come up with your own personal solutions to this problem that you have set for yourself because no one else’s answers are applicable." ...
"See, I think our whole society is much too problem-solving oriented. It is far more interesting to [participate in] ‘problem creation’ … You know, ask yourself an interesting enough question and your attempt to find a tailor-made solution to that question will push you to a place where, pretty soon, you’ll find yourself all by your lonesome — which I think is a more interesting place to be."

Hello, I wrote pretty much the same thing about five years ago. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=762121

PG wrote me a response here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=762357

Nothing has changed and actually has gotten worse in my opinion (so I hear you, bro(grammer)).

However, I've gotten a bit older and made a conscious decision to do work that is interesting to me over money and prestige. Mirroring what the other poster said, I try not to worry too much anymore about what people do in Silicon Valley/Techcrunch/Hacker News.

It bothered me before because I was torn between being true to myself and keeping up with the jones to show that I can still hang with the bro(grammer) of RapGenius, Color, Yo, the kid with the AI app whom Marissa Meyer acquired and whatever else is cool now.

It's harder than it sounds because it was easy for me to get caught up in the frenzy of how important developers are, coding is the future, you can get rich etc so I can go to the cool clubs and start a charity foundation at the same time, do a revenge of a nerd kind of thing and get the girl and buy mom a house too (or at the very least, keep up with all of the peeps who are humble-bragging about their career advancements and buying real estate etc.)

In my humble opinion, there are more important things in life like doing a job that you're suppose to be doing, like editing the cron-job according to the JIRA ticket or washing the dishes when the sink is full.
You are right, I will have to investigate more. I don't know how much of react's virtual dom diff can you cram in 2.5kb though :)
New POSIX OSes won't take off in a meaningful way either (whatever 'meaningful' means). It's nothing to do with it being POSIX or not, it's just difficult to get traction for a new OS. Linux faced exactly the same issue when it was released.

But why do you need it to take off in a meaningful way? Open Source software doesn't need a particular market share to keep going, it just needs a certain absolute number of people (which differs depending on the software). Is having a small committed core of users not enough for you? If your research is truly useful then that number will grow over time.

Unless you're talking about a commercial OS, in which case Microsoft is your obstacle, not POSIX. Good luck with that.

> You know the guy who invented the birth control pill was a devout Catholic?

Your point is irrelevant to the discussion but I'm curious. Do you have a source for this? Greg Pincus' Wikipedia entry says absolutely nothing about his religious affiliation.
A few selections from this list might make up a fraction of a phone screen, not so much a full in-person interview.

But it's a good list of things frontend developers should know, nevertheless.
Customer satisfaction is disproportionately tied to the sales experience. I still resent the guys who sold me my Toyota. It stands to reason that how we are recruited also directly impacts how we feel about the company after we join.

This doesn't sound like a great idea. A friend of mine with an Indian passport and a valid UK work visa was visiting Northern Ireland and decided to try to sneak a quick bus trip into Republic of Ireland. Their bus was randomly stopped and everyone's passports were checked (these are pretty infrequent, I believe), the police quickly noticed they didn't have a valid visa for Ireland, took their details and then took them back to the North. Later that year he had a bit of trouble visiting mainland EU, the immigration officials cited his previous attempt to illegally enter Ireland - evidently it had been logged in some EU immigration database and can follow you around for a while.

And this is just Ireland, I imagine the repercussions of getting denied from the US are a little more severe.
You can't for incompetence, but you sure as hell can for fraud.
This is exactly what airenvy does...they are a san francisco company to. Looks like a loaded space, fun fun!
Can't this argument be used to copy the x86 interface and avoid paying license fees to either Intel or ARM for the instruction set?
If I took lessons in writing from the Economist, my writing would appear to take a few scant observations and then apparently jump to suggest what the world should do about a certain long unsolved problem as if no one else had thought about that before, like some sophomore at Oxford just discovering the 2nd chapter of a textbook.

I find that style of writing a little bit obnoxious, so I have not taken my lessons from the Economist.
The WINE and ReactOS guys must be cheering!

Does this mean that frameworks like WINE are now illegal if Microsoft so desires?

How about special-cased ad blocker integrations that stub ad vendor APIs? I feel like that would also run afoul of these increased copyright protections.
Micromax in India assembles phones locally. Parts and design however are sourced from China.

It is a major difference though, since they could do something if there's some large issue.

In a republic, the person with that power is also the person usually making the decisions, so when those decisions are bad, there isn't another party with the power to stop them.

In Canada at least(Canadian here) the Governor general does step in at times to prorogue or dismiss the government.

Socialism lost all proper meaning in the McCarthy era, but Canada and Sweden are specifically not capitalism in the way that capitalists say free markets are always better. The US is more capitalists than both those countries, and is worse off for it.

Certainly if you consider it hotly debated, you can't say that capitalist republicanism is the least bad, since alternatives are equivalent
This is a genuine question, what is it that prohibits your group from using text messages and phone calls? I do not use any apps for communication, and can’t think of why I would have a need.
Cool product =)... Just out of curiosity, are you using distance from avatars to lower sound? So more distant conversations in say a party setting could be audible, but quieter? That would be a key distinction between discord and this in my mind.
On the Metal: tales from the hardware/ software interface

Interviews conducted by Jessie Frazelle, Steve Tuck, and Brian Cantrill of the newly formed Oxide Computer Company with prolific engineers from hardware / software. People from companies like Sun and SGI telling war stories and having good discussions about the state of things today.

Personal favorite is the Jonathan Blow interview.
I personally don't think AMD is "dancing on Intel's grave." As much as I love (and try to buy) AMD's excellent CPUs, as you noted, the latest Ryzen 5000 series are in very limited supply, and I found the same with the Ryzen 4000 laptop chips all year. I eventually got an HP Omen 15 which I'm pretty happy with, but I'll remain bitter that options with brighter and/or faster screens or beefier graphic cards were never an option, and what options I had were often hard to find.

As for the i9-10900K, if you check out a review from launch [0], you'll see nothing but good things to be said about the performance, with a very large trade-off of being a ridiculously power hungry, heat-producing CPU. If you're OK with that, then you're probably perfectly happy with the Intel CPU. For me, a cool and quiet CPU that can still smash my parallel processing needs and meet my gaming needs is a better sweet spot.

Urdu is the native language of a very small number of Pakistanis, mostly the 3% of the population that descend from families that moved from India at independence, the Mojahirs. Punjabi and Sindhi are mother tongue to far more people.
Good question, and the answer is still a matter of opinion.

I think the HN crowd is mostly excited because it is an ISA that fits two important criteria:

* You can build a RISC-V CPU into your own digital designs for $0. There are also a lot of free designs which use open-source buses like Wishbone if you don't want to build your own.

* Linux/GCC/etc. will probably support a compliant RISC-V implementation.

And the cynical/realist crowd is harrumph-ing after a few important questions, like:

* Many important features are not yet finalized, including things as basic as a nested interrupt controller. So, how compatible will modern RISC-V implementations be with future software?

* Will "good enough" performance actually be good enough? It's still not clear whether a RISC-V CPU will be competitive with ARM et al on power and performance on a similar process node. It might be, but the ecosystem needs to mature.

So it's one of those things that always seems to be 5 years away, like practical fission or the year of the Linux desktop.

But if we ever do get to a point where you can use something like LiteX to generate a RISC-V SoC with N CPUs and driver support for its major peripherals on Linux, that would be exciting. Fabrication on 45-130nm process nodes might also be affordable for small startups by that point, too.
Signal is better anyway. WhatsApp cooperates with the US government.
