2011 called, they want their anti-Python nonsense back. Python 3 won. It's leaps and bounds ahead of 2.7 at this point and it's moving in a positive direction.

There are only two groups of people talking about this now, the poor folks who have to maintain and/or upgrade legacy software and you, people trying to stir things up.

Both these parties have existed in some form for absolutely every software upgrade ever so —as a community— we're past the point of caring. 6 years notice was more than generous and if they really want to drag it out longer, it's open source, but we'll be over here writing better, faster code.
Yes, this can work well. You still have to be careful and not mix people that has to do a lot of phonecalls or loud discussions in the same room as developers.

This is the only reason Harvard and Yale have any value. You could take the first year student intake at these institutions and distribute them randomly to other universities and the end result would be the same as letting the students study at Yale or Harvard.

>I'm not sure if (or why) this leads to the requirement to have a rational discussion with proponents of abhorrent ideas

Besides the difficulty of working alone, how can anyone challenge something they aren't willing to talk about? If anything is to be done about it, then people will have to start talking eventually, even if only for the purpose of political coordination.

I get that there's the issue of trying to present anything to an uninterested or uneducated audience in a way that they won't get the wrong idea. But assuming beforehand that they will get the wrong idea regardless of what you might do is just assuming failure. If everyone thought this way, nothing would ever be done: slavery, serfdom and child-labor wouldn't ever have ended.

Besides, ideas don't spread like that. Specially morally abhorrent ideas, because being "morally abhorrent" usually implies being politically unfeasible. Even the most terrible regimes tried to whitewash themselves because they knew what they were doing wouldn't fly with the populace.

You may be right but I just don't think the industry can go from taking in $50-100/mo to $10/mo - they will figure out a way. And people didn't mind paying that amount. What people disliked was the forced bundles and less flexibility compared to what pirating gave you.

As long as they're paid wages which are attractive to them, I don't see exactly what's wrong.

I tend to feel that emotionally charged language shows part of the problem preventing us from resolving these things.
Morality is as much a social science as many things, however without taking into account a pretty cold analysis of why we are in this situation to begin with you can't solve it. Certainly naive calls for blockades and sanctions won't solve it. Since the people who would implement those sanctions are probably also the people benefiting from and causing the situation in those countries to begin with.
Everybody arguing for open office plans and stating that they or "some people" thrive in such environments should finally come around to read Peopleware [1].

Although they might base some statements on assumptions I do not fully agree with all the time, and before reading I was had not decided if I was strictly for or against open office plans, their conclusion is spot on: open plans do not foster collaboration or communication. They may cause a constant buzz and seem productive, but nobody will be smart, creative or productive in that environment, compared to a silent, uninterrupted workplace.

All you multitaskers and procrastinators (including me): You are lying to yourself.

It's only about 6K best case scenario and usually a little under 4K in practical resolution. Of course some of the major 6K or 8K cameras on the market are only a little better than half that in practical resolution. There's also a lot more to final image quality than just raw pixels or grain, it's just a small piece of the puzzle and why a 3.2K camera may look substantially better than a 6K alternative.
That's the theory of why open plan is good.

In practice it doesn't pan out that way, because most 5 minute questions don't save that much time (answer was a 2 minute search away), don't take that much time (take much longer), and overall cost much more time (due to loss of flow).

Most (if not all) programmers need a state of flow to write quality code. Achieving flow after an interruption can easily take 15 minutes or more. If the environment discourages a state of flow by having frequent brief interruptions, the quality of the code written in that environment will be poor. If you had the ability to collect the right metrics, you'd probably find that bugs disproportionately are written right after an interruption.

> Apple's App Store Has a Big Problem That No One Is Talking About

The title is a little bit clickbait as it has been discussed a lot lately, especially here and other technical fora.
A deeply systemic problem, for which I envy the rich not for the wealth but for the poor "sort of coerced" into spending UNWISELY on unhealthy foodstuffs, ... ..., the middle class "sort of coerced" into spending UNWISELY on non-disclosed health care costs and no-opt-out conformance, for example, with rules placed on their activities from afar not fathomed nor foreseen in the 1800's, driving up costs AND worries, and in many areas, also rent and high housing costs, and unread-then-INTO-LAW legal code that if voted on by the people might not stand the light of day. Atop of this, the overweight problem compounding healthy solutions vs 'more hours of the day seated to
determine one's I's are dotted and T's are crossed' vs, say, if the tax code was an excise tax, ONLY, for individuals, below the 90th percentile, and vs if only OPT IN health insurance existed, meaning church-based or some such would take up the slack, and other divergences between the 1800's and the modern 'sit before the TV desks and create solutions' vs the more sanguine 1930's 'sit on the back patio and

I want to say this as respectfully as I can, but it isn't easy: the quality of discourse on these topics is really low on HN.

At the same time I do think it's really important for them to be discussed.

Time and again, though, I'm disappointed by how reductive and unmeditative these discussions are. I'm also surprised by how angry people seem.

This is a site used by a lot of very smart people, but I think there is an element of people transferring the confidence of their domain expertise from one area into another, without noticing that they've crossed that border.

I think people need to approach these topics with a humility they wouldn't need to bring to say, hashing algorithms or distributed databases.

I'm actually not surprised that he got fired, and I do think the firing is justifiable. Writing open manifestos against company policies on controversial and sensitive issues is going to get you in trouble. It just will, whether you're at Google or 'Dave's Grill-house'.

But that's not what I was responding to. OP implied this guy is a racist or a misogynist and stated she couldn't work with someone who held his kinds of beliefs.

I've read the manifesto and it's not as strong as you make it out to be. For example, I've argued that you can't expect perfect proportional demographic representation in a free society in any field. It will not happen, for a variety of reasons that may not be nefarious. If women are under-represented in programming it may not be because of sexism.
college and other education should be about adding learning to the recipients and not about measurement.

People should learn things as they want, and not be required to meet arbitrary standards and degrees to obtain societal benefits.

A hundred years ago ~1% of the people went to college. Now it's more than 50%. The societal function of college has changed.
I might add: I honestly do think we thinkers, developers, programmers, researchers, etc. do not talk enough and communication and exchange is important.

That being said, the open office plan is not the solution to that, it will kill every possibility of focus, and make the lives of people seeking it miserable - because there needs to be communication, but it should not interrupt everyone especially if not actively participating.
So you call it benefit - paying 30%+ of your income in taxes worldwide instead of paying 20$ for visa on arrival? That makes no sense.

While I don't believe hybrids will survive in the long run, I think that hybrids (and plug-in hybrids specifically) will play important role in transition period of passenger cars (use EV in cities, use gasoline if you want to go >100 km, refuel whenever you want).

A have Toyota Auris with hybrid synergy drive and even though it has really small battery (so it costs less than $25000 including tax), I am able to ride through small town using EV mode only and then use ICE between towns. My mileage is 4.4 l/100 km which is ~53.5 miles per gallon and I'm driving in city most of the time.

Agree, that its not the first thing you should focus on. But saying you should not do it is what I was protesting.

When you run your site through speed analysis tools like the site posted or WebPageTest(my favourite), you do get a set of tasks based on priority and removing exif data is generally low and I am not advocating against that.
> legitimizes things that should not be legitimized

But how can you come to the conclusion things "should not be legitimized"? The topics "tolerance of homosexuality" or, "that god might not exist" both fell into that category. In absence of rational discussion, there is just sentimentality and bias.

I also think you've biased/unbalanced you topics with specific conclusions: "The benefits of X" - why would you insist on only discussing the benefits? It's a topic that makes certain assumptions.

> they are against the very nature of human rights

And atheist is against god, and homosexuality against nature. I think "human rights" is a more subjective concept than you might think.

> a rational discussion of race-based slavery is something that legitimizes it

How? What do you mean by "legitimize"? It only does so in a society that considers only "legitimate" topics to be up for discussion. If anything can be discussed, there would be no such perception that talking about something assigns it validity.

To summarise; Why is it harmful to discuss the above, unless you expect the outcome to be desirable. There is a difference between assuming a rational discussion, when the participants are incapable of a reasonable level of discourse; and an actual rational discussion. I would gladly hear Hitchens, Fry, Harris etc talk on the above topics.
VFX are substantially more expensive to complete at higher resolutions. Even in major films released at 4K, fx are frequently lower resolutions because of time and budget constraints. Going back and rescanning older films that have lots of cgi usually results in very ugly vfx scenes.

And again, resolution is just a small component of the final image quality. There is a major 3.2(ish)K camera on the market that has substantially better IQ than 4 and 6K alternatives. And another 6K camera that has substantially better IQ than 8K options.

As for upscaling, we're probably better off leaving that for the end user as better upscaling algos are created and deployed all the time and baking it in from the studio locks us into what will soon be old methodology.

Why have a history then at all?
The idea is not to squash history but make it reasonable chunks. Remove chaff so to speak while keeping the general history.
A single feature is very rarely a reasonable chunk. (For example, see Linux kernel patch series per feature.)

Otherwise you may lose the "why" unless code is extremely well commented and that never happens.

The problem is with the implied meaning.

Calling this mode "shields up" implicitly means that it's something good for you, protecting you - but it's not quite so, this "shield" is protecting the company/manager instead of you. The exact same thing might be called not "shields up" but "complacent mode" or "ignoring opportunity" for the opposite implied evaluation.
