I think the bulk of the argument is about the insult. Creating a new fork doens't really help anyone. Creating a new standard just increases the number of standards.
Since the offer is actually open to "anyone", I will suggest the title of the piece is more intended to say something like "Yes, even you women! The word anyone is not code for any white male with SV connections. Honest!"

A lot of underrepresented people know that generic invitations don't really mean they are also invited. It's really only open to the existing in-crowd. As a woman who gets a lot of reactions that suggest to me that women are not supposed to so much as initiate conversations with men, I can kind of understand the logic here.

Having been burned by an extremely toxic classist group where, no, the rules absolutely are not the same for "the wrong kind of people" -- by which we mean poor people (in this case, though they also do really shitty things to anyone who can't somehow establish in-group standing) -- I can understand why a lot of members of underprivileged groups err on the side of "They don't really mean me when they say anyone/everyone."

My mind doesn't work that way. I generally take folks at their word, even when I know they may not really mean it -- and recently got banned from a forum for doing so because they were full of shit and didn't mean any of the high minded BS that came out of their lying mouths. I'm willing to live with that.

But I'm also very well aware that if you get that result often enough, shunning can mean you de facto have no income at all, there is no place for you to go, etc. It can be essentially a death sentence, and I don't mean metaphorically. I mean literally.

I don't know what the fix is. I'm not really all that crazy about the framing of this promo. But my suspicion is that is the real impetus here -- to make sure women don't feel that the subtext is "Not really you, though we say anyone."

And, honestly, I don't have a better answer, so I'm not going to dog them for it.
Wayland works the way that Windows has since Windows Vista.

At least one tiling Wayland WM already exists, as a drop-in replacement for i3: http://swaywm.org/

Hopefully your fears are sufficiently alleviated by that! I suspect you've got a mistaken idea about what Wayland actually is and what it does.

As for your 3rd paragraph, I'd have to leave that to someone more experienced than I am.
It is not at the wm level. It replaces X. Your favorite tiling wm would need significant rewrite, but there are some tiling wms out for wayland including an i3 clone.
Or the path to the interpreter (e.g. if you're trying to run a x86-32 binary on an x86-64 system without 32-bit libc, or if you're trying to run a binary linked against glibc on a system with musl).

It might have to be with i18n and load (and bill) on infrastructure too!!! You don't want to pay too much too soon... at least not until there's a sufficiently validated product/market fit and there's a strong business model generating some cash. For what I've seen, it's free for now and I'm not sure that companies can be a good target for selling informations: it would be a hard sell to the content-producer (common users) and to the so-called awfull HR.
So I guess that they're just test-driving in "local" markets (Silicon Valley & S.Korea) to validate the business model without too much technical hassles

Yes, I've been "follow"ing users using lists for a long time. I have a "Left" and "Right" list and use Twidere (on mobile) and Tweetdeck (on the laptop) to keep track of current political banter using the two lists. Seeing opposing views on the same topics side-by-side is a great way to understand and fact-check opposing viewpoints.

Additionally, it's good to keep track of who switched sides on a particular topic or in general - occasionally, I'll find a viewpoint that doesn't "belong" to the list and figure out that the person has switched sides. It's interesting to track when that happened and why...

Crime victimization surveys. The 'actual statistics' you refer to are reported crimes, i.e. crimes which were reported to the police and which the police took the time to record. They vastly underrepresent the actual number of crimes. That's why people who are interested in getting a more accurate estimate of the actual number of crimes do crime victimization surveys. This is all pretty well known and obvious. That you aren't aware of it is telling.

I don't know if you have been to Paris but the streets are VERY small, if you would build skyscraper, it would not be livable at all. Additionally, you need extra land for the foundation of the skyscraper (very very difficult to get in a crowded city like Paris.

While I tend to agree in principle, there's nothing special about how county lines are drawn. In Massachusetts (like many states), counties are pretty much irrelevant except for some fairly specific purposes. (For example, state courts and related legal institutions are organized by country.)

Linus' reasoning echos his past criticisms of hardening patches:

>if people run things on real machines, then BUG() is absolutely the last thing you EVER want to do for "debugging".

>This is why I scanned your pull request for BUG() and similar. Because I simply will not take "hardening" that kills the machine. That's a hard requirement. No excuses, and absolutely zero exceptions.

>After a year or two, when the hardening has actually been in place, and you can say "hey, look, none of the warnings happened", I may be ok with turning them into BUG() calls.

The monty python drama is a distraction, this is an issue of principle that Linus has had to explain multiple times.

I hope it stays that way. That's not how it is in many parts of the USA. And no, it's not that way because we have guns. It's because we have more people who are inclined toward violence. I'll leave you to guess why that might be.

I like this idea. It seems like it would work well considering that the population in the US in 1800 was on the same order as the population of many states.
How would this work? It seems more likely that Google’s collaboration could allow them access to technology that they will copy and iterate upon. This is what Japan did and they now exceed the US in several technological domains (e.g. automotive manufacturing).
Funny how most structs in the linux kernel are public, they must be all amateurs, too. Perhaps go read about container_of and struct embedding in C before calling anyone an amateur.

It's just a different programming approach in C.

Encapsulation is good only for making it harder for anyone to poke in the internals of your library, which has some benefits with binary compatibility, etc.

But it's strictly worse in all other metrics when coding in C. It limits you, it forces malloc calls where most of the time none would be necessary, it makes memory management more complicated, it forces explict initialization, etc.
Reading != doing

I take the same approach. Have been around many well qualified people who lack critical thinking and thus suffer poor output. There is no amount of education that can correct for this.

> It’s funny how the HN crowd’s infatuation with nuclear persists

Perhaps that a generally technically literate crowd sees nuclear, given the alternatives, in a positive light tells something.. :)

> long after economics alone,

Nuclear is under severe economic pressure mainly in the USA, but largely due to dirt cheap natural gas, not renewables. So if you're hoping for even more usage of fossil fuels, go ahead, keep hoping for nuclear to die out.

> ignoring outright any safety arguments

As we should. In terms of deaths/kWh, nuclear is about the safest energy source we have.

> It was the environmental crowd you hate, by the way, plus the often maligned political class, who long ago had the foresight to push for the policies that are now enabling renewables to be competitive with fossil fuels.

I'm a fan of renewables (to a point and where appropriate!), but lets use them to replace fossil fuels and not nuclear like Germany, m'kay?

I count myself as an environmentalist, and I think the environmental movement has done a lot of good things. But the mainstream environmentalist campaigning against nuclear (and GMO's), is just horribly, disastrously dumb.

> My understanding is the opioids are already regulated, controlled, and dosed appropriately, since most are acquired through medical prescription. Why so many overdoses, then?

There's more people who use opiates than are prescribed here. Much Much more. OD's here happen because they can't get those drugs anymore, and go towards the black market. They don't bother testing anything from there, so they never know what theyre getting. That's the recipe for disaster here.

The problem is that the real conflict the US faces is whether it should let its foreign policy be run by facts, or whether the intelligence agencies are simply there to manufacture consent for whatever the ruling party has decided to invade next. In the latter case the intelligence on the ground doesn't actually matter, so there's no political pressure to make sure it's done well.

AWS has absolutely taken down websites because they didn't like what was on them, just recently, in fact:

I'm a journalist and have seen a screencap of the takedown that Amazon issued to the Firearms Policy Coalition, which started and maintains the censored site (CodeIsFreeSpeech.com). The takedown erroneously cited a temporary restraining order issued against an entirely different site (defcad.com) as the reason for the sudden, no-warning booting of the site from AWS.

And as you mentioned, Azure just now threatened to pull Gab.ai off its platform over a pair of anti-Semitic posts.

Yes, he should be more polite like Guido Van Rossum to ensure longevity.
sad to say but Linux security is shit mostly because of Torvalds posturing. He has a history of lashing out to anyone contributing security and compared security researchers and the BSD camp to a bunch of masturbating monkeys. Grsec is dead too.

I worked as a Linux Evangelist in the 90ies for a major distro and was a big fan and later as developer would only work in "linux shops". We have ridiculed and hurled abuse at Microsofts poor security at every opportunity (for over a decade), which has IMHO massively strengthened Microsoft - but all this Linux superiority posturing did nothing to improve Linux security.

It's kind of annoying (and somewhat a relic of the 90ies) that people still claim Linux has good security. It was an easy claim to make when the thing that Linux compared itself to was a Win95/Win98 Desktop installation. The thing Linux community keeps illustrating is that it's easy to stand on the sideline shouting at your competitor but much harder to actually design better security. All the abuse (or was it tough love?) targeted at Microsoft did a lot of good for Microsoft but it did the opposite to Linux.

> The right of free speech doesn't mean that private corporations have to be a platform for it.

Free Speech is a principle that the First Amendment applies when restricting government. Private corporations that decide to be a platform for public speech (I think publicly accessible social media posts count) have to consider how they promote free speech. If, on the other hand, the private corporations want to exercise their freedom of association and take clear editorial positions, that's fine too. But, philosophically, they can't have it both ways.

Also note that Google, Facebook, and Apple seemed to have coordinated the ban. Both in size and in style, this is a different beast than Masterpiece.

Finally, Masterpiece was about being compelled to make specific cakes. Customers weren't banned from all cakes or anything. In that way it resembles demonetizing specific YouTube videos more than banning entire channels.

1. Linus conducts his business on the public LKML so it's much more visible.

2. Technical people are expected to shut up and be polite.

Social stuff is complicated and one of the things that keeps oppressed groups oppressed is the fact that the rules are de facto different for them. So if you really want change, you need to somehow account for the fact that generic invitations won't be seen as "We really are actually inviting you, too" by some members of some groups.

Is that any clearer for you? Because I don't think it's a rant at all.

>A lot of underrepresented people know that generic invitations don't really mean they are also invited.

This is kind of interesting and in stark contrast to much of the hacker mentality that doesn't really care "what they really mean" when "they" make rules. In fact, the hacker mentality is usually to twist interpretations and tease out any technical loophole. It goes along with "ask for forgiveness, not permission." Certainly, something to think about.

GTM Variable: Check If Google Analytics Code Is Found in the Page Source
I do not understand why Stripe choose a headline that does partially cover the content of the article. In a sexist, but politically correct way. I also don't understand why comments about this being sexist get flagged. Finally, I wonder why the moderators changed the original HN headline to the same headline that Stripe uses. Isn't it HN policy that headlines that seems clickbaity or wrong get changed by the moderators, so that they become more factual and understated?

Anyway, great move from Stripe. Seems that they want remove barriers for starting and running a company, which is good for the creation of wealth and jobs. Be it Stripe Atlas, the card business, Indiehackers or the publishing company. Al those newly founded companies are also target customers for Stripe. Which is completely ok and speaks of good common business sense!
