We've brought over the years more than 30 developers from Eastern Europe some 8 years ago here in Southern California. Nobody wanted to stay for more than 3-6 months even though they got better pay here and no expenses to worry about - company lunches and dinners, nice company cars, nice spacious company houses, etc. On the contrary, when they go back to Western and Central Europe to work for clients, they didn't want to leave!
The stats for the UK were taken straight from the referenced ONS report and used in correct context. It also seems like a bit of a stretch to describe Forbes as journalism anymore

EDIT: obviously the suggestion they make that the claimed 80% failure rate is every year rather than just the first one was spurious, but overall a near 60% failure rate over 5 years would be enough to put me off getting a loan, so I'm not sure any marketing spin they are attempting actually works
This is garbage. The article is 62 years old - exactly how far along this "trend to Socialism" are we at this point?

Well, you can, but it's inconvenient and requires manual intervention with each machine. I would argue, though, that if you have developers that intentionally circumvent the version of git you provided them with, despite being told that it's there for security reasons (and is newer, better, flashier and all), then you're dealing with people that can't be helped, and shit will happen regardless.

I'm not arguing that it's okay that Apple bundles an affected version of git, but if they start undoing what you did to protect them, I don't think they can be helped. I'm a bit pessimistic in this sense, but I keep getting surprised by the kind of crap that makes their way onto peoples machines, sometimes people that really should know better.
You may be underestimating how wildly inefficient CPU mining is. Even if an attacker isn't paying for the hardware or the power, there's still a significant opportunity cost. (Especially given that Bitcoin mining is a rather conspicuous way to use an exploited computer; users are likely to notice the increase in fan noise.)

Rust <-> C interop is pretty strong. AFAIK, there is equivalent call overhead between Rust & C as there is between C & C++ (i.e. none). You're right that incrementally porting to Rust would be a little bit more overhead than C++, simply because you'd need two compilers, and instead of rewriting function definitions in-place you'd need to write a fresh function in Rust and delete it in C. But at link time everything is sane and once you set up the build, it's really not hard.

I'm not suggesting that C -> Rust is easier than or quite as easy as C -> C++, just that it is much easier than C -> most other languages, and that it is close enough to C -> C++ that it is worth investigating. It is definitely more robust than the minimal definition of "incremental."

I'd actually like this. Swift is a really great language, even though them adopting it is very unlikely. I think Google is more likely to keep Java than it is to adopt Swift, or even Go or Kotlin.

Interesting article. The Ancient Greeks, were from what I understand, very open about how (most of) their culture was essentially handed to them by the Egyptians via the trading colonies the Greeks, who were a seafaring people, kept at the Egyptian shores.

The idea is not that your resolution is unique it's that the maximized window size is unique. They can then track that you have more than one monitor, what size that monitor is, and, probably with some easy math, a jist of how many you have. That setup is probably a lot more unique than expected. That plus possibly some canvas finger printing or something similar could probably keep pretty good tabs on you. I have 3 identical 21 inch monitors and I'm browsing on the left-most monitor. Anyone else have that same setup?
mmh, it would be relatively easy but why would you do that? I'd be glad to know your use case.
To tackle wolf-whistles, or to tackle misconceptions about sexism?

I'll direct my answer towards tackling misconceptions about sexism, because I think it solves the problem of overt-sexism, and I believe it also generalizes to issues of prejudice in general. I could write thousands of words on the topic, but for the sake of time and space I'll try to keep it brief.

I think it is important to understand that almost everyone believes they are doing what is best. An individual's worldview is formed over the course of the entire life. It's important to understand that you probably won't change anyone's mind today. A few things that I think are really important to keep in mind:

Listen to what the other person is saying. Ask them about their experiences. They will tell you why they believe what they believe.

Respect the other person. Don't contradict their experiences. Trust them to be a person who is capable of using reason.

Don't take the moral high ground. It's easier to relate to a flawed person, and nobody wants to deal with an insufferable asshole.

Appeal to their intuition. People will outright reject anything that doesn't make sense. You can't throw facts that contradict an individual's life experience and expect them to accept those facts. Instead, tell a story and demonstrate how that situation represents both their position and your position.

Don't use jargon. Don't use the word feminism, racism, micro-aggressions, or privilege. People have their own understanding of what those words mean.

Give them ownership of their own mind. Leave them with tools to evaluate the world. Let them search for evidence for your position and for their own.

edit: I just saw the new line you added. I'd say the person who punched him did a pretty terrible job of handling that. Your buddy probably thinks that the other person was the irrational one, when really both people behaved in a way that was internally rational.

If it happened to my buddy, I'd say something like, "well that reaction was over the top. You definitely didn't deserve to get hit." After giving them some time to blow off steam, I'd follow up with something like "Well, I can kind of see why she was mad though. I know I appreciate [this is where you relate] compliments on my physical appearance, because I don't hear them very often, and I don't feel like I'm always valued for my looks. Women are valued on their looks first and foremost though, so you are kind of reinforcing that belief that they exist as an aesthetic object, like a painting or something."

They probably don't really understand at this point, so I like to flip it around with something that they've personally complained to me about.

That's probably a terrible example. It's really important to relate to people on an individual level.
Are you saying this has more tracking than regular ads?

This is a very bad comment for Hacker News. The maker of that website isn't a buzzword bullshitter. He's someone who became curious about a certain aspect of the web and made a site to express it. It's insightful and well-done, and you can agree or disagree with his view without being a jerk. A bullshitter wouldn't have patiently emailed the people managing all these websites to ask about the philosophy behind their design. In my interaction with him he was exquisitely well-mannered. You could learn from that.

More generally, please don't call names in HN arguments. You've been doing this quite a bit, unfortunately. The site guidelines ask you not to, so please (re-)read them: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

What we're going for instead is informative conversation:
https://news.ycombinator.com/newswelcome.html. If you know more about the historical meaning of brutalism than the rest of us, the thing to do is teach us about it. Heaping condemnation on others' work teaches us nothing—besides which, your comment seems based on the false assumption that terms have no right to change meaning when they migrate from one context to another.

So please post civilly and substantively, or not at all. You needn't look any further for an example than drb311's splendid reply to you.

It's so refreshing to see an open source project have the balls to announce a 1.0 early and not stay in the eternal "0.x we're still beta so don't blame us for any problems"-phase.

One thing that's stopping us from switching over is that we need more real world success stories of other people making the switch and being better off. For all its warts, Cassandra is the devil we know, but ScyllaDB is definitely something we're keeping an eye on.

One suggestion that might make it easier for people to move over is thorough testing of mixed clusters. I wouldn't mind switching one node in my cluster over, if I could be certain it wouldn't screw up the entire cluster. I saw that they ran through the Jepsen tests and did a good job, it would be very interesting to see how a 50/50 cassandra/scylladb cluster would fare in the same tests!

Just as a point of reference and how things have changed over the years: in our Bulgarian folklore, people were complaining about the inhumane 10% tax.

Thankfully, Bulgaria now is back to this "inhumane" 10% flat-rate income tax, which you can reduce further to 9.5% if you file electronically.
It sounds like with a few epochs it captured some rhythmicity. The notes still sound random, but overall its promising.

I suppose the argument that I'd like to investigate is the true purpose of tax dollars, since it's not explicitly clear to me how tax dollars are meant to be used. I think that's a distinct line of reasoning from how research papers should be shared more openly. It sounds like you'd probably agree that the issues are separate, in which case tax dollar allocation may not need to be involved in this conversation.
Yep. VC funded startups with 5-10 million in funding can handle GB per day log processing.
How so? Wouldn't there just be a one to one mapping between resolution and maximized windows size? The only way to prevent this is to not maximize windows and instead have custom sized ones, but that just makes identifying you even easier.
I agree with you. I understand it clearly when someone does not give me an alternative day. If they say "So sorry, I am busy Thursday," I politely answer "Awesome. Let me know when you are free and I'll make time for us." This way they know IF they change their mind later they can reach out.
I wonder if they thought about the extra stress on the electricity grid... it might need some mayor re hauling to satisfy the need to load all those cars.

You mean that black culture can simply be replaced with an AI?
It doesn't hide anything related to git. The binary in /usr/bin is there to shat xcode-select works and points to /Application/Xcode.app/Contents/.../bin/git. It's not hidden, it's merely a convenience so that you can actually get git, and stay at least a little up to date. There's nothing hidden about it, and installing new, modifying your path, whatever is done just like you would on any other machine.

The binaries are protected by "rootless mode"/System Integrity Protection, but you can disable this and get full root access to your development machine. Just run "csrutil disable" from recovery mode (It wouldn't really help if you could disable it from a running system).

The only locked down things on OS X are proprietary GUI stuff, such as windowserver or some menubar API's. Regular operation is not locked down.
On the other end, don't most people need Comcast to watch Netflix anyway?

"Troll" is rapidly coming to mean "person who behaves offensively, abusively or objectionably online". Of course the Guardian will have a different definition of what those behaviours are to, say, the Daily Mail. Or to HN!

Are you certain of that? In my experience, women superficially will say glowing and great things about other women, but when the honesty comes out, there's vitriolic hatred.

Women have a far more sophisticated sense of situation-appropriate speech. Men think of it as "two-faced," but it's just Machiavellian maneuvering. When taken at face value, it's easy to mistake women as having great respect and love for one-another.
> If we don't need them, why are they still being used?

They are "still being used" mainly by researchers and grant agencies. But this is only a fraction of the number of people who care to read the results of the research work.

Researchers think of their research first, public access second. They think they need to publish with the incumbents to secure their future research. This is because the incumbents own the most respected journal names and have them in tight grip. For most researchers, there is currently no easy alternative way to get credit for their work.

But there are alternatives, it just isn't as easy and convenient for researchers to explore and start using them. The reason most of the people oppose current publishers such as Elsevier is not that researchers do not need them, but it is that society does not need them. It is because business has injected itself in a place where it prevents rather than enables society to benefit from the research.
Well, given enough time and resources, then yes, the b-ball-bot could, and probably better than a human could. I know this is a cop-out answer, but look at the DeepMind Go games. The computer beat a top 100 (I don't know the rankings, actually) Go player, something that was thought of as nearly impossible in this decade.

The most interesting thing was if you read the commentary on the matches. The announcers were mystified by the computer's moves. 'Alien' comes up a lot in describing the play-style. Us humans can't play Go and evaluate each stone in the game. We have to 'chunk' the game. Exp: These 3 stones are a 'wall' or a 'platoon', this stone is 'hot' and can take your stones, this stone is 'down' and will be used in 3 turns, etc. The computer doesn't have to do that chunking, each stone is evaluated individually. As such, the play-style was totally foreign to people. It did things no player had tried or, importantly, could have thought of given the limits of our brains having to 'chunk' the information.

I would predict that a b-ball-bot would play the same way, in totally strange ways that a human can't think of. Exp: Calculating a reasonably high probability that the ball will bounce off your nose and go into the left hand of it's team-mate, throwing the ball as hard as it can at it's own head to make a shot, not trying to get past just 1 opponent but the entire team's right thighs 57 seconds from now, etc.

Similarly with jazz, the computer is a dumb machine that will just do strange things because humans have to 'chunk'. In music, we play in chords and notes and with rhythm and timing. The computer can evaluate the whole song, and every other song at the same time and can borrow from all those. You and I can pull in the feelings of loss of a child, or the joy of strawberry ice-cream bars in a Memphis summer, things a computer will never. But we cannot pull in the obscure Tuvan throat singing techno-remixes on Youtube , the Afro-Thai heavy metal Vimeo channels, or the terrible pre-teen angst poems set to crappy guitar, etc, all at once. It can only see what you feed it, but you can feed it the life-outputted-into-music of billions of humans with live updates. The computer will know more.

But music is emotional and about feelings. The feel of music is most important to us. And I think that a human songwriter is therefore essential, one that cares and puts effort into the work. It connects us, and that is what is important, not the sounds.

It really depends on the programmer of the AI.

I don't think you can define this as "stealing black culture" if the developer represents the same culture himself...however if he is over privileged white male for instance it's somewhat true.
For 1), you must have owned the home for 2+ year to qualify. If you're moving under 2 years for a "qualified reason" (death, birth of multiples, 50+ miles closer to work) you can take a pro-rated deduction.

For 2), you cannot do a like-kind exchange for residential property that you live in as your primary home.

I don't see any reason why, in the few instances you actually intend to flush, you won't just say << std::flush. This will make it very clear that you intend to flush the output. And we should definitely be prioritizing the documentation of our intentions over shaving a few bytes off of our source code file sizes.

It was weird to ever merge two unrelated functions into something, and then name it something as cryptic as "endl". Especially when the most common case novices would encounter this would be std::cout, where terminals will automatically flush text to the screen upon receiving "\n" anyway.
Been there. In Konqueror (oh the olden days), the default colors came from the system color scheme. When I was using an inverted color scheme (White on Black), some websites were unreadable because they set the text color to something dark, but left the background color at the default (which was implied to be something light, but was actually dark blue for me).
Exactly, if you divide the pot per-user then a scammer who opens an account can only make their own money back (minus amazon's cut) making a scam like this a non-starter.

Next they can try to trick legitimate readers, which was mentioned in the article. But that can be mitigated by actually counting pages read. Because tricking a legitimate reader is click through pages of garbage is going to be a hard sell.

Next you have to worry about account hijacking but that's a whole different kettle of fish.
