> Skill: 64-bit addressing

As a WASM backend implementer in an environment w/ only 32-bit addresses, I hope people don't move to 64-bit addresses too soon. Are we really reaching the limits here already?

> Skill: Portability [...] A POSIX for WebAssembly if you will. A PWSIX? A portable WebAssembly system interface.

Yes please, but dev'd outside of WebAssembly. This is needed for interoperability between languages. Even just strings would be nice. A stdlib interface to rule them all, so to speak. If kept modular and avoided a lot of bikeshedding and had a full test suite, it could have a great benefit even outside of WASM.
By instituting only those regulations that loosely serve a public good (say a carbon tax or sin tax) and then predominantly by customers voting with their wallets.

Good answer. I had forgotten about Propeller.
This isn't a data issue, it's a problem where you're trying to bend the data to your point. Just because Indians earn more on average doesn't mean Black people don't face clear racism problems.

As an analogy, just because most people didn't get their data stolen in the latest Facebook breach doesn't mean Facebook doesn't have a security problem.
The T range or the P range remain good recommendations.

The T is a little lighter but you lose some power/upgrade options, the P is kind of what the T used to be (both in terms of price and performance). The current gen' T is a slight lightweight but not a bad buy.

They have a bunch of ultra-lights/ultra-books/2-1s, but they aren't "Thinkpads" in the classical sense.
> The key part is you have to have a massive dataset of historical information.

Why is this historical information not susceptible to the exact same issues today's news is?
With haptic feedback support? That's amazing, I just bought one of these (as it is the best trackpad available by a long shot). Even Windows doesn't support this. I did find this one [1], but it doesn't seem to be signed so a shady source.

I really don't know how you deal with the awful screens. Even the nicer IPS screen is low resolution and has bad viewing angles.

That alone would be enough to make me upgrade, even if it meant sacrificing everything else on your list.

Please assume other participants are posting in good faith, even if you disagree with what they say. When people present code or text as their own work, please accept it as their work. Please do not criticize people for wrongs that you only speculate they may have done; stick to what they actually say and actually do.

Please do not take a harsh tone towards other participants, and especially don't make personal attacks against them. Go out of your way to show that you are criticizing a statement, not a person.
So these VCs are at least technically ignorant and stupid enough to fail to perform due diligence. What's the difference?
I still have one of these in storage. I did upgrade to an older T-series model before trying to install it. Feel free to email me if you want to have it in exchange for shipping costs (located in Germany).
Here the discussion was a bit broader and the point was about the religious context rather than the Benedictine themselves.

To be fair the Benedictine order wasn't one of the worst orders with respct to whole witch/heresy craze but that kinda furthers the irony of the whole situation: watching to the other side while someone is being persecuted (or bullied) puts you closer to the oppressor than to the oppresed.
I think it's more about people not looking for alternatives while things are going smooth. Now they will, even though the grass my not be greener.
The "File tree for browsing merge request diff" is a GODSEND.

FINALLY they introduced a solution to that!

Auth0 and FusionAuth – Compare features and price
I built something around the same concept and decided to give up on it as the only business model that seemed to make sense entailed competing with google drive/ dropbox etc.

The idea was simple, like appear.in/[any slug you want] is a video conference room.
I wanted klipped.in/[any slug you want] to be a folder or a file

Best of luck with your project! And let me know if you want https://klipped.in as I don't really have a use for it anymore!

Whether GP meant to make a strawman or not, i found the comment to be a good reminder to apply the strategy GP espoused. Hopefully that’s how it’s perceived- and not as an indictment of hypocrisy.
> Do you really think that men advocating for molestation of women, or open racists, are just... you know... undereducated and waiting for you as a thought-savior to come and explain to them what's objectionable about their thinking?

People don't advocate for the molestation of women, but they do it. They just don't see it as advocating for the molestation of women. They see it as "boys will be boys." They see it what they are doing as harmless. So to answer your question: yes. Not all, but some. Proof can be found here:

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/10/18/opinion/men-m...

This is an excellent quote that really highlights the reality. Making it clear what is right and what is wrong goes a long way toward education.

> Of course, no man or teenager should behave that way, but I don’t think that event stuck out in my mind until recently, when so many women went public with the trauma they had experienced. It hadn’t occurred to me that she may have felt violated or pressured or afraid because of my lack of self-control.

There are many other stories like this, not just in this article.

> but at some point this game becomes patronizing

But it's not, because people don't know better. You might, but realize that others don't, and their behavior will change because of these rules.
Shopify Brings AR to 600K Stores
This was my biggest issue with 4.17 & 4.18. I just recently upgraded my system to a Ryzen 2400 and I have had quite a few issues. Keeping up with the latest kernel builds with ukuu has helped but it would be nice to have a stable kernel that works with my CPU/GPU. Hopefully, 4.19 will make it to stable tonight and I can upgrade tomorrow. :)
This is not a stretch at all. If "authorized access" is defined by the ToS, then this would be "exceeding authorized access". The EFF certainly seems to think this is a problem, though some courts have set precedent otherwise:

Announcing OpenZeppelin 2.0
I think there's a huge difference between cutting slack and assuming positive intent, in the same way that there's a huge difference between criticism and constructive feedback.

Cutting slack is essentially turning the other cheek to otherwise unwelcome behaviour, for whatever reason that might be.

I don't believe it's healthy at all to cut slack for some people and not others. On the contrary, it's incredibly healthy to give everyone the exact same assumption of positive intent up until it's proven otherwise.

Those making significant contributions should be doing their best to set the example, to show what the high standard is, and if you let them off the hook you're not holding them to account. You're putting them above the guidelines and essentially enabling them.

This doesn't mean that everyone should be criticised equally, but nobody should be above receiving constructive feedback on their communication just because they've contributed a lot of work.

And on that level, it also stands to reason that feedback has to be delivered compassionately and appropriately, and it works a lot better if that's done in the context of a trusting relationship or through people who are skilled in engaging in such conversations.

A newcomer to the community who criticises everybody else is not communicating kindly or compassionately. The assumption of positive intent may suggest that they're not familiar with the guidelines, so the constructive feedback would be to present those guidelines and point out where the newcomer may have fallen short.

Hard work, but communities are hard work.

But more important than a lot of the actual porting work was that the overall portability work had been done. Gone were most of the inline assembly / platform-specific hacks and optimizations that earlier iterations of Mac OS and 68k NeXT code likely had.
That's assuming the child really doesn't have a choice. First of all, if I give a child a choice then I will accept the answer they give. I will try to persuade them of why it is good to go before giving them the choice, and I would express disappointment in a mature and reasonable way if they choose something that I think is counter-productive, but I wouldn't lie to a child about their choice. Children are much smarter about that than a lot of people realize.

But in some things, they don't have a choice. They may _really_ want to run into the road; I'm not going to allow it. They probably don't really understand, and I've got a responsibility to protect as a parent or guardian. Where is the line? Not sure; I think that's part of the art form called parenting.

> They did develop a CCD sensor business, but they divested themselves of it in 2011 as part of a strategy that "it would sell assets that are not central to its transformation to a profitable, sustainable digital company".

If they hadn't made market strides with a CCD by 2011; I'm pretty sure that means they missed the mark entirely. If they had beat Sony's digitization of Minolta; or figured out mirrorless first would have been there best out prior to 2011.

Malta car bomb kills Panama Papers journalist (2017)
I believe the mistake is the same one that dates back to IE7/8 in that enterprise customers are at all given the option to always load intranet sites in "compatibility mode". It's really stupid that because of an Oracle-enforced GPO policy every time I try to open most of my company's intranet sites in Edge, GPO policy pops it into a new IE11 window, and corporate-enforced IE11 add-in pops it into a new Chrome window. This is madness, and there's no way for me locally on my machine to tell Windows that no I don't care about the GPO policy, I really just want to open it in Edge and skip the other two browsers entirely.

I do think a mistake was that IE11 was included at all in Windows 10 to appease corporations, instead of just ripping off that particular band-aid. But doubling down on it and allowing corporations to default to nothing but IE11 via group-policy is the biggest mistake. GPO footguns like that are why corporate America can't have nice things, and I'm increasingly of the opinion that it's time Microsoft started dropping footguns from GPO.

(Also, note that the root problem in this particular workplace remains Oracle and their web apps that are stuck in IE6 worst practices but cost millions of dollars each year to continue to operate. Oracle is the real villain here.)

I'd say when both make it convenient to do so, or one makes it an overwhelming necessity.
Fascinating, a polite citation of statistics and analyses by Mr. Ts'o, one from a government organization and another from a university, is somehow characterized a defense of one of the most heinous acts imaginable?

I also encourage HN readers to examine the link KirinDave provided, as he himself suggests, as well as the documents actually linked to. It rather revelatory how at odds the hyperbole directed at Mr. Ts'o is with what was actually said by him. Is permitting people with biases so extreme to write CoCs what we really want?

==There is plenty of evidence that supports both sides of the claim.==

Please share your evidence.

==The government has no reasonable reason to stop people from voicing their opinions, or expressing satire, or discussing politics on social discussion platforms.==

Bots are not people, which renders the point moot. Even if bots were granted rights, they are committing fraud by assuming fake identities and attempting to sway people's actions for gain. Fraud is a crime, crimes are regulated by the government.

> But the term Blood Money already has a meaning in English, which is a payment to settle the feelings of a family for the loss of a loved one, and prevent revenge.

This is incorrect; "blood money" is an established English term for money that has been metaphysically tainted with blood. (Compare, among many others, Judas' refrain in Jesus Christ Superstar, "I don't want your blood money", referring to the 30 pieces of silver the priests pay him for betraying Jesus.)

The English term for money paid to settle a death is "weregild".
I would like to say no, but the world has proven me wrong in numerous projects that I’ve seen.
Absolutely not, adwords already does this with gclid, and Bing with... mkclid I believe, fbclid will be nice to have and be a convenience for those who data warehouse their own ad data.

Read – Between the Lines. App for reading faster using peripheral vision
Curiously enough, I managed to get the attention of Keysight and they shared this among some of their employees.
I don't know...

I had only heard praises like yours on that subject, but I have a T410 and I am really not happy about the access:

* plenty of screws,

* same-looking screws with different length (I won't disassemble it one more time now, but I think that's the case),

* bloody clips that WILL break sooner or later,

* disassembly is neither super intuitive nor obvious,

* I simply could not figure out how to reach some places (like the jack I wanted to fix or change).

It is not better in that respect than the random Compaq I used before, rather worse in fact. The only positive is that the plastic ages better than the old Presario's, which got hard and brittle, so small bits regularly broke when I disassembled/reassembled it.

I had great expectations that the T410 would be better because of the praises I had read, but in fact it was a little bit worse, so I was quite disappointed.
S3 Media, keep iOS photos and videos on Amazon S3
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/s3-media/id1438775079?ls=1&mt=8

This is a very good app for saving your media forever on S3 with background uploading for iOS and you can view all the media on any device.

Plus, when you want to access your media objects, you can use any S3 tool and don't have to open iTunes to try and get a million photos off iCloud.
A question for the folks who would like to do more than just communicate in a way that welcomed all demographics -- how would so-called "demographic quotas" work in practice?

It may well be my lack of imagination, but I'm having trouble imagining an outcome based approach that still allowed progress on projects to continue.

Also, if such an approach could be articulated, would it be incompatible with this code of conduct?
This is 100% absurd.

> Making diversity a goal is identity politics, which is a very different thing than correcting biases.

I don't understand this assertion. Is there a subtlety of terminology I'm missing here? Should I read "diversity" only as a goal to produce a group that is composed of x% from group A, y% from group B, etc., rather than the more generous reading that the goal is to ensure that members of various groups feel welcome to participate?

In Spain and in Portugal grape harvesting machines are common. They are also used for harvesting olives. The vines have to be planted in hedges. The machines straddle the hedges and gently shake the tree with rubber flippers. The vines have to be ripped out when they become to brittle.
Yeah I think this is correct. It's rational for the prime contractor to increase his prices when he can deliver "value" in the form of greasing the wheels with subcontractors and inspectors.

At least on the inspector side, I wonder if governments started privatizing home inspection if this would help establish a more "market-based" treatment of builders. The city could honor certain third-party inspections as being "reasonable" for permitting.

I could see this working even better if the inspection service bills the building owner rather than the builder. Then the incentivizes are aligned for a fair inspection and fair treatment of builders that is in the owner's interest.
And those people are wrong. It's OK, and necessary, for human beings to make ethical judgments. The correct position is one that minimizes suffering, not one that absolves itself of the responsibility to make difficult choices, in deference to some arbitrary, inhumane objectivity.
I'm guessing the crown prince was upset with his journalism, I don't think a deeper reason needs to be found.

Easy to say in hindsight. But that's not how it worked previously.
"This appears to be the source of the 1 in 6 figure (17.6%). But it's worth going deeper. If you look at percentage of women reporting rape since age 18 (taking out the child abuse and statutory rape cases, which they also treat in detail), it becomes 1 in 10 (9.6%), and of those over 61.9% were at the hands of their intimate partner, as opposed to an acquaintance or stranger. Also in the survey, in the rapes that were reported via a randomized telephone survey, in 66.9% of those cases, the perpetrator did not threaten to harm or kill the victim. (Which makes it no less a crime, of course, but people may have images of rape which involves a other physical injuries, by a stranger, in some dark and deserted place. The statistics simply don't bear that out.)"

This seems to be implying that "child abuse and statutory rape" should not be counted as rape and that rape "at the hands of their intimate partner" or where "the perpetrator did not threaten to harm or kill the victim" are not "real" rape.
i don't know your reports, of course, so could be wrong. But i'm guessing your reports, aren't all that interested with a relationship with you. They are obligated to do some amount of kissing up, are spending the time wondering what amount is enough.
If the code of conduct angers you, stop and think -- how did you feel one minute before you read the CoC? Is the problem really the CoC, or is it your collection of beliefs that is causing the problem? Furthermore, are you even affected? Do you contribute bug reports or patches? Follow the SQLite mailing list? Is anything here designed to prevent you from continuing to do so?

SQLite's author is a spiritual guy. There's nothing wrong with him borrowing from spiritual sources to describe his ideal for how he wants the SQLite community to conduct itself.
Last year, I decided to build an X62 (Thinkpad X61 or X60 with custom hardware) after reading about it here [1]. Shipment of the modification kit (some plastic parts + a new mainboard) took 2 months from China to Germany. It took me a while to find a brand-new screen as a replacement for the original 1024x786 screen (which has to be modified, including some minor metal-working).

After roughly a year of heavy daily use, I must say that this is the best laptop I have owned in my life (including previous Thinkpads R60, T510 and and T460s). The size is just perfect. With the new hardware, it is incredibly light-weight. The 4:3 screen is something I have been missing for a long time on my laptops, and the classic Thinkpad keyboard is just a million times better than the new model. The quality of the original X61 chassis is also very good, and it looks just great.

Overall, the laptop cost me roughly 1000 EUR and around 20 hours of work. This includes 32 GB of RAM, a brand new 100 GB SSD and a brand new replacement screen I bought at Alibaba. I started with a broken X61 I bought for around 40 EUR on eBay, on which I replaced the new Lenovo "ThinkPad" logo with the original IBM ThinkPad logo that was still used on the X60.
