If they'd gone into negotiations like grown ups, like other countries that have had no referendums on some EU treaty or other, and tried to achieve a better deal then gone back to the people we might not be in this self-inflicted mess.

No, we immediately got the guilty promoted and content free slogans like "Brexit means Brexit", a slogan that clearly demonstrates the level of esteem our politicians have for the electorate.

It's so clearly a slow-motion train wreck that I am astonished there hasn't been a real parliamentary attempt to actually stop it or avoid it. No, keep going until we are firmly over that cliff. As someone else said we can have an easier and more rational conversation on religion.

Still it'll give Brits plenty to talk about "what might have been" for the next 40 years as we sink further into insignificance.
Having never heard the term, a quick google search for “little third” led to this fascinating article: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/06/26/chinas-mistress...
Overstated problem. It's not that hard under most circumstances to build a static lib.

I think there are two issues. In C++, a header only library makes sense due to templates, which don't produce object code before specialization. In C, I have seen the same with entirely macro-based "libraries" that are really simulating templates in order to make abstract data structures.

The second case though, my theory is that there is a new generation of programmers who don't understand the traditional compile and link phases because they are used to other languages. It doesn't fit their expectation of how it should work so they bend the tool to their expectation instead of figuring out the old way. The very fact that people on here are saying a programming language should have a "standard package manager" demonstrates the cultural divide: this sounds a little nutty to an old time C person.
Feel free to order your pork chops rare. There's no trichinosis in restaurant pork, hasn't been for two generations. These old stories die hard.

I've always been amazed by the power of these little ESP chips. I'm actually really curious to see what outside the box use cases the ESP 8266 and the ESP 32 will have in the future.
In the UK we have a constrained housing supply, I'm pretty sure any basic income would just inflate property prices and end up in the pockets of landlords and the already wealthy.

I'd prefer a return to the sort of social housing we created post war, where it wasn't just for the very needy but ordinary people in low paying jobs.

That's a very unprofessional readme.
Sometimes, though, opinion is worthless enough to be indistinguishable from satire.

I am personally strongly opposed to the idea of the UK leaving the EU. That doesn't mean that I'm incapable of reading, processing and disagreeing with constructive arguments in support of a viewpoint I don't hold. But when that conversation devolves to petty, objectively nonsensical catchphrases like "neoliberal media establishment" then it's reasonable to question whether or not it's even possible to engage in constructive discussion.
But what would you do? Carry with you a book that has 100 definitions of "smart" and point people at the one you find apt for the current situation?

Not trolling, I am genuinely wondering what would you do. It's not always appropriate to go on huge tangents explaining nuances, especially in casual conversational settings.

You seem to be bothered by the fact that people use shortcut words which carry their own subjective context with them. But that's what natural language is, most of the time -- namely a dictionary compression where the dictionaries of the separate people vary.
I've found a good way to approach Smalltalk systems like Pharo and Squeak is to remember they're whole systems, not just languages with a bolted-on IDE.

I like to think of each running instance as more akin to a Unix virtual machine than anything else. You end up using "in-image" version control systems like Monticello just the same way on a Unix server you use "in-operating-system" version control systems like git.
they seem to be describing some protocol also involving light? I assume you can't just drink the stuff?
Does it matter if a robot can build a car? People can build cars.

Of course it matters. A bot can scale to appear as millions of people. So whoever wields the most compelling bots gets a massive force-multiplier for their opinions and objectives. Or more likely, grants that power to the highest bidder.
A big part of what makes Bitcoin function the way it does today is that there are a lot of people who believe that it's a magic bean. If enough people believe that something has value then it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
The primary leave slogan was "Take back control" to the UK parliament. What control does parliament have if a referendum is binding?

We either have a direct democracy, or a representative democracy, not bits of each as suits someone's point. Up until the first EU referendum in the mid 70s they were considered unconstitutional in Britain.
How would one do it properly then?

What was true a few years ago has little bearing on what's true now. People buying new cards should be buying AMD. If your current circumstances don't make this possible for you, though, then there's nothing wrong with staying on X.
Bots are used as force multipliers by people with malicious intent, so yes.
I manage about 110 people at fortune 30.

However I make it a point to walk around and know almost everyone at some what personal level.

With my leaders I make a point to take them out for lunch once a week on my dime and thats my 1 on 1. For a skip level I take random person out for lunch once a week as well.

For across organizations that I aceess to, I also take their leaders out for lunch once a month or so. Or may just have a short convo as 1 on 1.

Doing one on one in formal setting does not create a personal bond.

Today I have a great relations with many of them.

I try not stop them if they want to give me project status to ensure I understand if there is some personal issue going from or with someone which they want to bring it up. Example is other leaders or architects or others are pushing back on anything.

Experience can probably tell you if they just want to give status update and then I would just stop them gently and say hey good job let’s talk about you.
...and those are only recent issues. Ghosts of WW2 are still alive and doing better thanks to the extreme far right and Russian trolls.

They don’t look like much of a dumpster fire to me.
It's the difference between an angry mob and an angry mob of puppets controlled by one guy with an agenda.

Normally, without the puppet/bot amplification, the latter guy could be easily ignored. Now his bots can drown out real voices, and that's a problem.

See: the thousands of letters to the FCC regarding net neutrality that were sent by "bots" impersonating real people. Letters written by actual voters were dwarfed by the fake letters.
Sorry, but how are Western and non-Western morality systems different when it comes to justifying power-grubbing or hostile action?
I did consider fighting them for about 7 minutes.
Then I remembered that they had a legal team paid for by taxpayers, while I had a toddler and a pretty decent, mostly stress free life.

The laptop that I connected thier SSD to was my coding box, so I deleted all the code and secure erased the free space before they cloned it.
They gave me shit about it too, because their forensic people saw days without any file activity.
When I told them that it was because I removed my IP they responded with "why don't you think you need to do that? We can keep your data from falling into the wrong hands".

Maybe if I was some kind of an activist I would have tried to fight it.
Yeah. No.

I don’t do five people’s jobs anymore —- which is what I did at past companies. But I do my job —- and more —- and I voluntarily take on more projects all the time. The difference is, I no longer put my job ahead of my health. I no longer go 18 months without vacation (I took my honeymoon 17 months after I got married. And when I got married, it was 3 days after speaking in Vegas — I was on a red—eye two days before my wedding — and I spoke at another conference two day after my wedding) and I no longer allow myself to be on-call at all hours of the day/night. The nature of my work has changed too — but even if it hadn’t, I still would have stopped.

The stuff I used to do didn’t make me a “better” employee. It’s not some badge of honor.

You don’t know me or my work ethic; to imply that because I no longer kill myself for a business that won’t kill itself in return, I’m not still a hard worker —- kindly fuck off.

> But still they would consider themselves to be too smart to need OOP.

Please note that I fully agree with this part; I've met such programmers and then actively avoided them.

But there's always the other side of the coin. You can reinvent your own mini-OOP for a specific scenario you need (recent example: utilize different data parsers depending on a HTTP response header and a top-level XML attribute in the response). And you can make sure you don't suffer from some of the OOP's undeniable problems -- like "brittle superclass".

Ever since I worked with Elixir I had to do something like the above 5 times in total and was VERY happy with my own half-arsed OOP implementation because it allowed me to keep a strict control of things while still giving me the flexibility I wanted for the particular task at hand.
How are you differentiating from BlockSpring and Zapier?
What is the value of automation in general? Changing opex (training & paying a single human to post propaganda) with capex (buying another server to host a thousand bots posting propaganda, plus some fixed opex to pay a programmer to orchestrate it all). Servers are cheap, and some people with megalomaniacal dreams of influencing society through information have deep pockets.

This quantitative change breeds qualitative change. Any time computers are used against us, be it in information warfare or physical, the reduced cost and decreased risk mean the activation energy is lower and the scale so much greater. The barrier to entry becomes lower, too.
This would make a lot of sense if it wasn't the Saudi government that did it. The Saudi government killing him in their own consulate is not "an attack on the nation."
Bursting is when you need to add additional capacity to handle expected but higher than normal load for a brief period of time.
You could probably make a simple social network in an hour too. It doesn't make you Facebook. Once the tech matches a market need, though, interesting things can happen.
I would agree that is true in a democracy: but the UK is not a democracy. In fact, apart from Lichtenstein¹ I cannot think of any democracies.

How open are you to the idea of a third, fourth and subsequent referenda on Brexit should a second one happen? Or would you declare the second one as "final" if it achieves whatever result you desire?

That is certainly what happened in Ireland: Nice 1 was rejected in 2001, a year later after an intensive, one-sided government propaganda fest Nice2 was passed.

Similarly in Denmark, Maastricht Treaty 1 and 2 were held in subsequent years (1992,3)

I think there are other examples. A glaring one is the Greek Bailout referendum where people voted to tell the EU to stuff off, but again, their government knew better.

For me, this argues that governments, whether national or supra-national will ignore the popular vote and there should be more referenda. Obviously there needs to be some sort of pre-referendum polling to indicate whether exists a reasonable proportion of the population that is interested in the Question of What to Name Brian`s Cat. And there should probably be some safe majority (5%? 10%) of turnout required.

I thought so too. Then i joined Google, where it’s mandatory. After some time I learned to see the value. Ever since i left Google i tried to have them, but managers dont seem to buy into this idea, and i miss it dearly
Bots allow cheaper astroturfing, they go hand-in-hand.
AMD cards are not slower, but they do get somewhat worse performance per watt.
I already knew that. And no. He wasn't a journalist. He was more of a political advocate or evangelist at best.
Interesting take, I have to say it feels on target to me. It’s hard to imagine how housing prices can go much higher since you need willing buyers for that, and basically everyone I know now, most of whom have good jobs but aren’t homeowners, feel that they either can’t afford housing or wouldn’t want to risk it in what feels like the peak of a bubble to them. That kind of broad sentiment shift is part of what pops bubbles, so to me the question is just how widespread that sentiment is.
Its worth remembering of course that the Electoral Commission found that Vote Leave broke the spending limits, and illegally colluded with other groups. Worth remembering before you lecture people on democracy.
I work to help build up their self-confidence.
Sometimes. And sometimes never saying no and pushing back just means you’ll always be asked to do more without promotion.

Honestly, climbing the corporate ladder is often about how good you are at politicking and working relationships as it is about anything else.
The article talks about people's perception of whether or not they can distinguish between bots and humans on social media. A more interesting question is whether this perception is correct. Are bots actually getting better at fooling humans or is there simply more cynicism about social media bots? We can't tell from this article.
The interesting thing to me is - do the Chinese politicians and business leaders see the money laundering as a problem that needs fixing. Or is it those same people that are doing it? IE are all powerful Chinese people doing this or a minority.

Bound to be, but also some competitors on the international market like New Zealand (which has no government price supports or subsidies), have free trade agreements with China.

If you become insular and erect tariff walls people play where there are none and they make more money.

The real problem is govt price supports, often brought in to tide people over for a year, once people start to depend on them they really stop working, you get stuck with inefficient industries when people should be growing something else, or simply be in another business. When NZ cut all farm subsidies back in the 80s farmers formed farmer cooperatives, in the dairy industry they now own most of the back end milk processing infrastructure, they're big enough that they are big players on the world markets, and the profits go back to their owners
Various active suspension systems have been played with in F1 since the 80's, but they are limited pretty severely by regulations. The justification for the ban is for sporting reasons, same as a lot of other innovations like CVTs or traction control. No doubt they would be using them if they were legal.

2048 bit keys? What about all the 1024 bit keys that litter the DNSSEC PKI?

How about the fact that CA keys can be revoked? Google and Mozilla killed one of the largest CAs in the market for misissuance. How do you kill .COM? You think if Symantec had a say in the matter, they'd let Google kill their CA business? How about the fact that weeks after the KSK roll, more than half the Internet still depends on the old root key?
Sounds like a lot of learning I have to do.

I am not opposed to it; everything gets more and more hijacked to closed gardens so I feel more of us should go the extra mile and find out how open-source things work.

Just not sure when will I be financially secure enough for it.

Thank you, I am definitely writing down everything written in the thread. I will get to tinkering at some point.
I bought a refurbished x230 off newegg a couple of years back and haven't had any issues. I in fact upgraded the RAM as well and the battery life has been pretty solid as well.
20-30 years ago my family used to give each other "cotton bolls" from Mary of Puddin Hill as gifts. They were said to be cotton seed in white chocolate, and I have no reason to doubt it was genuinely cotton seed. They weren't very good, the seed added nothing delicious. More of a clever food pun.

Probably because the project wouldn't have seen funding without "blockchain" in the proposal title.
And every one of them can be monitored and will be killed if they mis-issue. If Google can kill Thawte, VeriSign, Equifax, GeoTrust, and RapidSSL, what hope does some random small CA have? The same thing is absolutely not the case of TLD owners. There is no mechanism at all to "revoke" them. You can't "distrust" them without the entire TLD vanishing from the Internet.
Choosing not to give everything to a job doesn’t mean you aren’t doing enough. And giving everything to your job very rarely pays off. Even if it’s your own company, choosing to kill yourself for a business rarely ends with a better business — it just leads to a sick founder of the person is pushed to exhaustion.
> but no one thinks about the fact that once they sell they won't be able to remain

Wouldn't it be hard to stay anyway once real estate price go up for the sheer fact that rich people are coming and so prices for everything will go up anyway ? Is my simplistic reasoning flawed ?
Scary. Are there independent sources confirming that?
The mods have been here. In this very thread. They have elected not to change the post.

We can only conclude that if this is an infraction of the rules, it's not sufficient to invoke moderator interaction. I hope that this point is clear to you.

What's more, this happens dozens of times a day here on Hacker News, yet I cannot find even a single other instance of you leveling this complaint even as you comment in threads that commit this infraction.

So clearly, even you don't believe it should be universally enforced. You only perked up to this rule when Rust got mentioned.

If you write an article about how Javascript, UBI and A/B tests will save the world then it's true by default and it's on the skeptics to disprove it.

If you want to feed an engineered plant seed, which is already being consumed by some livestock and humans to more livestock than you did previously then you need to win a Nobel Prize and get Knighted by the Queen of England before the HN crowd will even consider that there's a remote chance your new engineered seed is safe.

I'm not sure what this says about HN or human nature in general but it's at least an amusing contradiction.
I follow the check-in model from Adobe [1]. It isn’t a hard set of requirements, but is more of a set of topics that help guide the conversation. It’s especially helpful as a starting point for people new to management, like myself.

A check-in meeting is made up of three parts: (1) setting expectations, (2) providing feedback, (3) having a development conversation.

Status reports are explicitly not a part of this conversation. Those are easy to talk about, but have little value for your employee, and if you’re already doing daily stand-ups, they have little value for you too.

The first two topics are fairly self-explanatory, yet take time to learn to do well. The expectations must be clear, finite and actionable. Much has been written about the art and science of giving good feedback. I use a model where we talk about the Specific thing that happened, followed by Asking questions to understand their perspective, talking about the Impact of their actions on themselves and the people they have affected, and finally talking about what I expect them to Do now or in the future. (aka SAID)

The development conversation is the time for you to listen. This is where you learn about the professional skills they are working on growing (whether it’s public speaking, a particular career path or, say, a machine learning course, to name a few) and finding ways to help and facilitate those. If done right, you learn a lot about the person, their goals, aspirations, and will be in a better position to make a positive meaningful impact on their life.

The check-in is most effective if it’s guided by the employee. This encourages people to come with topics they care about and gives them the ability to focus more time on a particular aspect of the meeting which may be more important at that time.

I recently understood what was it that made me quit reading Dilbert: because he's an asshole now.

For me, Dilbert used to be like a character in a Kafka novel making funny remarks about all the nonsense. And he used to build things too. Nowadays the "humor" is mostly people insulting each other to their face.

Sucks, though. As you say, it used to be such a great strip.
