> that sort of trademark internet sarcasm, cliche, meme, pithy style of communication, just left me in a perpetually bad mood.

Interesting observation. I hadn't really thought of it before, but, now that you mention it, I do feel like Twitter is somewhat set up to be a game of seeing who can be the most misanthropic. Sardonic and sarcastic humor are the kinds that are best suited to such a short form.

I suppose it's theoretically only a performance people are doing for fun. But, if you're doing it all the time. . . well, practice makes perfect.

The projections for the invasion of Japan during WWII were that there would be millions of casualties. The battles in the Pacific were some of the most fiercely fought of the war, and invading Japan would have been even more so.
Very exciting! And really amazing work. It appears that WASM, at least in Firefox, is now going to be on par with JS in terms of performance when calling other JS facilities. Those comparison times are quite impressive.

I think the thing I found most exciting is at the end: “WebAssembly is getting more flexible types very soon. Experimental support for the current proposal is already landed in Firefox Nightly.” Implication being that WASM will have native access to the DOM.

I think at that point WASM could be used to fully work with the DOM with no negative costs, right?

I can't remember particular cases already but sometimes middle mouse click won't paste anything or will paste old clipboard content and only Ctrl+V works the meant way. It seems this happens either because Ctrl+C/V and MMB actually use 2 independent clipboards that are not always synchronized correctly or because some UI toolkits have some quirks with this part.

Or like, the mission of any academic library for that matter? Historically, Google owes its entire existence to an NSF grant that required heavy collaboration with Stanford Libraries, which is why academia to this day holds certain privileges at Google (free GSuite via memorandum of understanding, etc).

I'd even argue that working at a library contributes substantially more to indexing the world's information, since libraries usually have one of a kind items in their cataloguing backlog that provide huge insights. As an example, I once met someone at a vintage computing festival who was writing an ENIAC simulator using the original specifications housed at UPenn. Unfortunately, he was having quite a bit of difficulty obtaining example programs to run on his simulator, not because programs didn't exist, but most likely because they were backlogged at UPenn and weren't being added to the library's catalog (i.e., so-called "hidden collections").

There are many ways to work on similar efforts without being at a tech company, but for better or worse the pay isn't remotely as good.

From what I've experienced, this is rapidly becoming untrue - CoL in Toronto has become very high, friends are paying comparable to what I paid in NYC but salaries are definitely lower. They're paying in CAD what I paid in USD, but are earning 20-30% less. Food is also more expensive (particularly eating out), on the whole, than NYC.

Most new construction apartments are quite small, and the older, larger ones command a significant premium. You can move out of the downtown core (to North York, Scarborough, etc) but then you're committed to a long commute on the slow TTC or sitting in traffic on the 401.

MTL is much cheaper, but salaries also lag even further.
Props to openpyxl, just used that module to do some quick and dirty spreadsheet manipulation to save some colleagues a bunch of time.
I understand statistics just fine. I didn't say that white males are more likely to be shot in proportion to their population. But in terms of absolute numbers, white males are #1 -- so the "unless you're white" comment is both inaccurate and unhelpful to the discussion.
We provide an access control layer as a part of the GraphQL engine.

We took inspiration from Postgres's RLS and basically implemented it at the API layer so that the permissions/access control system is driven by your application auth and not your database auth.

This allows Hasura to give you role-based column/row level security integrated with any authentication provider or even a JWT.

More at the docs here: https://docs.hasura.io/1.0/graphql/manual/auth/index.html

That is plausible. Especially if we assume that "helping him" meant ending the situation as quickly as possible. They probably hoped to drop him off at the next hospital to deal with.

In Germany, police unions lobbied against the introduction of unique identification numbers on the armor of each riot control officer at protests. Before, there were only numbers/markings identifying a squad. Maybe in the future, with better computer vision and cameras, citizens can actually gather data about the effectiveness of such measures and compare across different regional implementations.
> these are of course contrived cases

No they aren't. Those are all obvious and inevitable uses (well, ab-uses) of a bribable official in a context where govenment data collection is tolerated.
They'll usually _track_ course completion, but it's not necessary for a course to have a high, or even an average completion rate to be a successful course. From what I've seen, they'll track active time spent in course, how much of the course is completed, use quizzes to reinforce learnings while also getting a check in on how actively the student has been taking the course, etc. They also rely on ratings and qualitative feedback. It's not as precise as something like "completions", but from what I've seen it's reasonably effective at assessing course value.
This definitely deserves praise.
Fair points. Honestly I think our default UI looks pretty rad and it’s super important to us.

I think we need to do a Show HN at a later date to showcase it. There is so much to say about the platform, we wanted to focus it on the modeling language right now. I totally understand people want to know more about the UI though.
Conspiracy? What? First day of work I can remember three different people told me "dont ever on go the other side of the highway; dont even drive through it."

First month of uni I unknowingly drove into the wrong neighborhood and stopped at a park. As soon as I turned off the engine and got out a group of people that were playing basketball started pointing at me and running at me. I dont think they wanted to introduce themselves in a friendly way. Later that semester, my friend wondered drunk into that neighborhood and was sucker punched and robbed of his wallet and cell phone.

Funny you call this some conspiracy? I know it's not PC, but conspiracy? Really?

They absolutely do like tourist-heavy cities like Barcelona or London but a temporary drop in a white-hot housing market isn't a good sign to buy. Houses are still ludicrously expensive.
Depends - many students live in students residence for their first year in university, and cooking isn't an option there (anything besides a microwave/kettle is not allowed). But most students move to private apartments later, and do most/all of their own cooking.

Crime rate is the only statictic that should matter IMO. With a literacy rate of 82% in delhi, it's highly unlikely that crime gets underreported. But how many cities in kerala has more than 5 million. Delhi has 24 million, SF isn't even 1 million. The absolutely number of crime is always going to be higher, but as long as you consider the crime rate it's low.
I've had multiple foreigner friends from dubai and US, and none of them felt that crime is extremely common. People do try to get out more money, but you can always bargain.
>Crime rates doent mean anything. Kerala has

It's not uncommon to make $60k if you are from a top tier college and in a top tier company. There are so many software engineers that you get it across the payscale. Uber, Directi, Google, Rivigo etc all pay quite a lot.
>Its defintely not comparable. Almost every beginner software engineers in Europe makes $60K easily

Again it's relative, for the average person yes it's lower. But if you are in the top tier ( which an engineer from SF is ), then they would be in the top 1% of earners in the city which allows them to live a lot better. How many people in SF do you know who live alone in a high rise 3BHK floor, have a maid+driver and can get food delivered at 3AM? There are also way more good looking women in Delhi than SFO ;)
>I dont think Software Engineers in Delhi have a better quality of life than Engineers in SFO.
Not sure why this user is being downvoted, what they say is true. I lived for 5+ years in the Triangle and there is a lot of racism/bigotry/misogyny present there. Its one of the main reasons I left, so it shouldn't be left out of the conversation.
"We are no longer at the point where populations can shift easily on a grand scale." We can more easily now than ever before and don't need to be near food. We have trucks for that.

Four thousand years ago, just a two year drought and 1/3 of your village would die of starvation. Few people could move anywhere. Pastoral peoples moved around but during times of scare resources, like a drought, multiple groups moving to the last remaining pasture would result in a battle with mass killing.
That's good to know, thanks.
4 States in the US celebrate Indigenous People's Day on Columbus day. This idea has been spreading over the years.

The largest resistance to this change is from Italian Americans (the holiday was created as a way of cementing their acceptance as a cultural group in the US which had long resisted their integration) and older people who feel that the left is destroying "the culture" of America (as if that's a longstanding concrete thing and not "something that was basically made up 40 years ago).

I think you see similar things in the US culture when it comes to the Founding Fathers (Jefferson in particular) and how there are conservative elements who will not stand for anyone challenging the narrative that these were solely brilliant, morally upstanding men who only wanted the best for the world with the idea that they were flawed human men of a time in which slavery was still happening and women were often just chattel.

TL-dr; There's a lot of people that feel that the importance of Columbus is more important than the fact that he raped someone.
What you see here is a common argumentative tactic by climate change deniers: "Scientists have been hysterical about global cooling in the past and that has not happened. Therefore claims about climate change in general are not to be believed."

I refer you to the wikipedia article on global cooling for reference. Especially take into consideration the line chart at the very top.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_cooling

With regards to the Paul Ehrlich quote I would add that he is not actually talking about climate change at all but overpopulation.
Dudebros was purposefully in quotes -- basically in reference to these days if you aren't a bleeding heart leftist and being actively engaged in being an ally, or other social justice cause (or at least give the facade that you are on social media) you are guilty by association, or at least placed in a less advantageous position versus your similar compatriot who is following the cultural winds. Gone are the times where you can keep your political beliefs at home, which ironically is now a form of workplace discrimination. That's something I think we will find out that previous generations got right.
> They're comparing their cars to the safest cars in the last 7 years.

They said the "top 50 vehicles." They didn't say the top 50 safest vehicles.

> The other makes and models aren't relevant because Tesla has asserted that their cars are safer than any other vehicle tested in the last 7 years.

We're meant to take Tesla asserting something, and not backing it up with facts as gospel? We literally don't even know what the source of those percentages are, for all we know Tesla created them.
Israel serves your needs.

I have worked consulting there and almost everybody in the country speaks English, certainly those involved with Tech.

Tel Aviv is a great Mediterranean City (palm trees, great beaches, wonderful cafe's) with great places to discuss ideas.

Intel has 11,000 employees there. IBM, Microsoft, Cisco, Qualcomm, Broadcomm, Google, Apple, ...all have major engineering facilities there.

Many of the Intel CPUs, much the Apple CPUs, the Face ID recognition technology is from Israel. Intel is converting a 22 nm fab to 10 nm fab there.
IMHO its high time for a Global Warming temp scale (Dear Al Gore, I said it first !) People don't get it when the degree shift needed is so tiny for such catastrophic effects. We need to magnify it by 100 or maybe even a 1000! So 2 degrees temp change is like GW200. Maybe the message will hit home better ?

Well that depends doesn't it. If you got skill and motivation to choose between gigs, that's fine, you'll most likely just start your own if you don't find anything fitting. Those you hear alot about.

Succeeding is not easier in tech than anything else, given that success means doing exactly what you want and feeling good about it.

I do interview people and try to find techies that fit in our org, but it's tough even if there's available people.
Berlin! Berlin is by far the cheapest capital in Western Europe. You can get a nice sit down meal in a restaurant for 5-6 euros in the center of the city and rent a nice apartment for 500 euros a month.
There is a large tech scene and everyone speaks english here. It's sometimes hard to practice German because English is so common!
It depends how you measure efficiency.

5 people can produce 10 widgets in a year.

10 people can product 15 widgets in a year.

Are the 10 people less efficient than the 5?

If you need 15 widgets, the team of 5 has 0% efficiency.
Are you saying that when the going got tough, the tough got going?
Not sure about the thriving intellectual community, but Chiang Mai certainly has a sizable digital nomad population, and is absolutely dirt cheap.

I rented a beautiful studio with a view of the Doi Suthep (mountain bordering the city) for $100 USD/month last winter. Since Buddhism reigns there are loads of monks, which means vegetarian fare is easy to come by, and is similarly cheap (anywhere from $1 to $5 for a meal). Everyone eats out, it's really hard not to meet people.

Internet is very fast (up to 500mb/sec) and power is stable (no power cuts in 3 months).

Of course the timezone difference is substantial if your employer is USA based, but if you can make that work Chiang Mai is hard to beat.
Plus they've got an API that I'm using to build my own personal route intelligence around. :)
Ok. The Earth is warming and all this bad stuff will happen. Why is government the solution? The USA withdrew from the Paris Accord and also had the biggest diminishment of greenhouse gas emissions in 2017 of all Accord members. We did so by market forces which push for efficiency.

The way to solve global warming is to support market forces pushing for efficiency, not government force that supports inefficiency.

If prettiness isn’t a key selling point, doesn’t mean it’s not gorgeous. Sorry if it came across like it’s not a priority for us. But it’s not what sets it apart: all our competitors also have pretty apps, they don’t have our language.
What is usually meant is that everyone is to be judged by results. (of course, how they're judged and by whom is important too)

What often actually happens is they're judged on executing a standarised test (bureaucracy) or by peers. (oligarchy)

Worse, some systems called meritocracy do not try to properly fit people into functions at all, forcing them instead. In those, you get thrust into a function despite not fitting it and then judged low merit, preventing changing the function.
This is a typical bureaucratic failure.

The very framing of this reply shows the incredible privilege of SV software engineers. Google has minted hundreds if not thousands of millionaires, that may not be "generational wealth", but it sure as hell is not-worried-about-the-next-downturn wealth. This is far more opportunity than the vast majority of humans have ever had, setting Gates or Ellison as your target wealth is a recipe for misery.

Just a guess, but you are no mechnical engineer, are you? Once you change your dies, your castings and all these things you end up with completely new set-up. The only things that didn't change are the presses (even that is a stretch due to aging and increased performance of new machines) and the fact that you have a steel mfoundry and a steel mill somewhere.

Changing the form of engine mounts or getting rid of them all together is in effect the same thing and purely driven by design. In fact, getting rid of engine mounts makes production a lot faster and cheaper. So yeah, retooling in that regard means re-tooling. They will loose some benfits from their plattform strategies, but that is the main reason most EVs from traditional car makers are, as of now, based on existing plattform. Given a positive business case new plattforms will be developed soon enough, if need be. And EVs can still benefit from other common parts.

EDIT: The exption to the plattform usage is BMW, they went the opposite way. Also to develop knowledge on the use of composite materials that can be used in oter model lines. So yes, there are some generalizations in my post one can find counter examples to.
I mean, scientists for the Manhattan Project were remorseful after the fact at least. In general though, scientists are primarily driven by curiosity with little regard for the safety of themselves or others. If IRBs didn't exist, I assure you that some experiment of dubious ethics would be in progress right now without it even occurring to the primary investigator that it might be morally problematic (it's important to note that with some researchers, moral issues just don't click mentally and there's not a question of malice). Even with an IRB, you still get studies like the Facebook mood manipulation fiasco at Cornell [0].

It's interesting to me that the positive HN response seems to show that programmers do (publicly) like CRUD generators and RAD (rapid application development) but only if there's no front-end.

I don't buy that it's actually better without a UI or that you can't make a UI for configuring complex models (it's hard but has been done many times before). But like I said, programmers seem to accept it more readily without the UI so maybe that's the trick to programmer popularity for these types of systems.
Hardware mitigations for Meltdown and Spectre are the real heroes here, and the main reason I've been holding off on building a new machine. Once I can find the ninth gen stuff without being bled dry on cost, I'll be building with these.
Great work! I can really appreciate the effort you likely put into re-implementing SCTP, since I'm currently working on implementing SCTP in Rust for the same reasons (WebRTC support). :)
Agreed, and I don't regard the strong version as correct, either. What I mean here is that Orwell's concept of newspeak is Whorfian in nature, going beyond propaganda, and Asimov does not seem to appreciate either aspect of newspeak.
That doesn't really seem to be the case, though. The NHTSA looks at highway and road data to determine what types of crashes result in the highest number of fatalities and then creates tests around those. If "cheating" implies that they're only designed to pass what the NHTSA happens to be testing then, by extension, the vehicle would protect the occupants against the types of crashes that are most likely to result in a fatality. That seems like huge win to me.
No. HT has at best 30% improvement. And worst is it hurts ;)

The boost clocks are higher, you're probably gonna run at this more often than not when you care about it.

There maybe some work loads where having more cores will actually care, but HT isn't all that huge if a performance increase.
Its funny how about 4 years ago when I was building my last gaming rig people were saying don't bother with AMD unless you're getting a GPU.

The 9700k has 8 cores and a higher turbo clock. Should hit the turbo on singlethreaded work and more cores for multithreaded work. HT is workload dependent, but I don't think there's a lot of workloads where it's better than adding 33% more cores.

(Cache per core reduction might be negative though)
So a global, high carbon dioxide tax would be a perfect way to solve this, you say? That’d give markets incentive to do their thing.
