Having no want to know of what interests Nazis or people under the age of 7 would make you a pretty unworldly person.

Which is a strange comment given the theme "What’s the Most Influential Book of the Past 20 Years"
To be fair, I use cwm as well and the only configuration I made to it was changing the font.
That's pretty cool. I wish Chromium supported this on Linux too. It seems more like a Chromium feature than an openbsd feature to me though? Linux programs installed via say flatpak have this on by default.
Have you looked here? They do builds of lineageos with mircog already installed

We use a lot of new Thinkpad at work, it blows HP/Dell out of the water regarding getting stuff done. (Also great on-site support.)

Soon it's the only laptop model used.

Also I guess it works on the Yoga series which is a good contender to macbook pro for home usage :)
Thank you. I already watched the presentation, but couldn't find any open job positions in regards to Racket. I'll try to contact them directly and will see if I have some luck.
Sure, you've defined a map V⊗V → R⊕T, where T means 2-forms. But I still don't see why this is useful, apart from being able to extract from it both the wedge product and the inner product which you started with.
Presumes corporations have free speech rights.
If memory serves, at least in the US this was the opposite. The free market was fine with serving least wing groups. It was the government that stepped in and told individuals to not be leftist, under threat of force.

Only then did businesses stop associating with those people, because the government was implicitly threatening them.

It was exactly the government's interference that caused the deplatforming of potential leftists during the red scare.

Less ambiguously called "Clifford algebras", though Clifford himself prefered the term geometric algebra.
Re-orgs are super common at fast growing startups...

Executive turnover, unless it's a pattern, is usually nothing to worry about. Sometimes the person was a bad hire, other times their skillet didnt align with what's needed for next 18 months... Most exec teams have 25% annual turnover in Silicon Valley, so hardly a red flag unless it gets to Evernote proportions.
Thank you for posting this! I'd like to send you a message about one of these openings. Do you have a preferred means of communication?
In most cases, 128k is actually the optimal block size, and is (microscopically) faster than 1m. And also uses a tiny bit less ram.
What about real people who don't support voting? Would I get banned for expressing my opinion?
You use your hypothesis to prove your point. So you prove nothing.

The KDE project is very focused on software freedom and does not consider proprietary software A-OK. This is written in the https://manifesto.kde.org/
will you provide .AppImage or Flatpak or Snap? or all of them?
unveil(2) is an OpenBSD-specific feature, although you could accomplish something very similar with Linux and another sandboxing tool (or SELinux, but that might be overkill). I highly recommend you read the man page for unveil(2), it's very cool: https://man.openbsd.org/unveil
My BIGGEST Discovery from Tweaking the Anki Setting
I ended up buying a Lian-Li PC a79 (http://www.lian-li.com/pc-a79/) because it was basically the only case available on the market into which I could fit at least 3 IcyBox disk encloures - basically all other cases nowadays have fancy stuff at the front which prevents the installation of disk enclosures :(

(another good one was Sharkoon REX8 or its predecessor T6 Value but both aren't apparently produced anymore, bah)
I disagree. I doubt we'll get to any sort of shared position via internet forum, I was simply pointing out that the parent comment was objectively false.
>Now if we can just start by getting Amd PSP and Intel ME removed! The first CPU manufacturer to do this is going to gain huge marketshare. (hint hint AMD!)

This is impossible. The ME/PSP are instrumental in the boot process; modern multi-core CPUs are complicated to initialise and these chips generally need substantial initialisation before the main cores are ready to execute instructions. This role is not something put in there gratuitously out of malice to stop people removing it.

The problem is not with having the ME/PSP as an auxillary core per se, but that it only executes closed-source vendor provided blobs (nor is documentation available to allow an alternative to be made), and more critically that it only executes vendor-signed code, precluding owner control.

The ME/PSP are also used to implement DRM, so Intel and AMD are not only not unlikely to ever enable owner control of the ME/PSP, it is likely they are contractually prohibited from doing so. I've previously explained this: https://www.devever.net/~hl/intelme

> Same is true for DE's I think. Many of the things that differentiates DE's could probably be offered as configuration within one DE, with less workload but no or very little reduction in diversity.

Perhaps if this DE is KDE. Gnome devs aren't interested in a configurable DE.
Seems to overlap with what SSB is trying to accomplish. Do you see any opportunities for integrating with that or other protocols, maybe for tracking unique identities over time?

This is a GREAT reason why Twitter's policy that licensees need to DELETE posts that they delete is a horrible idea.

It prevents people from performing analysis on deleted tweets. This type of data is VERY VERY valuable for this purpose but their ToS requires you to delete a post from your index if the user deletes the post.
> I am advocating the right for private organizations to ban fucked-up ideologies from their service.

Can we start with yours? /s

This has nothing to do with "right-wing rot". We already have ample historical examples of what happens when those wielding power, whether religious, royal, or financial, can suppress views and speech and it wasn't a good thing! The Enlightenment and the birth of the liberal movement (now classical liberalism, I suppose) were in reaction to those abuses and they fought many hard battles to get us the rights we enjoy today. It would be insane to throw that away for a little temporary advantage.
Thanks for creating this!

How does the unique username perk for patrons work? Does it mean that people can still create "normal"-coloured usernames, but there can only be one orange "verified" one?
> I have no evidence either way

Should you blindly trust Apple's process?
Not really, I've got my water cooler fan on the top grill of my case so the hot air flows up. What happens is the top gate gets covered in dust because it's blowing up and out of the case. I have to clean the top more often than anything else on my system.
Ok. It's like running Linux or BSD on desktops or laptops, which I have done since the 90s. If you get into that game, or especially many years ago it was more true, you sometimes had to be picky or patient about hardware. That's a choice I can make in order to get perceived advantages on other fronts, and I respect and understand people who make the other trade-off. (I acknowledged as much in the comment you're replying to.)
We are hiring for field (consulting, support, tech sales/architecture and some customer facing engineering) positions remotely, with varying degrees of travel. Core engineering teams are still largely on Prem, although I’ve been delivering software on the consulting side so long I’m a bit out of touch there.
You've made a lot of great comments in this thread. Thanks.
This article (and I) wasn’t talking about median income. At any of the schools you just named, a significant donation means your child is attending. How do you think they afford to give scholarships to so many students?
So now anyone can triangulate location of their users?
Secret Fisa courts aren't exactly transparent.
I mean, if your future career and livelihood depends on you doing something, odds are you don't really have a choice. Now, maybe the few tenure professors can do something, but non-tenured ones don't really have many options.
We used its predecessor Dr. Scheme at Rice University around 1997-1998. It was weird for those of us with previous programming experience but I don't recall us hating it. I didn't hate it.
This is coming from my experience working with mostly non-technical founders who are trying to turn their idea into a working product and start getting traction in the market:

What makes for a world-class software engineer is the ability to consistently deliver business value.

Learn about your company's market & business strategy. Be reliable. Effectively communicate with the non-technical stakeholders and be the bridge between technology and business goals. Make sure they're aware of pros and cons of every development related decision. Get used to saying no and pushing back on some of their ideas. Don't write code to solve problems that can be solved by an excel spreadsheet.

Your main goal is to build a successful business, writing clean code and using cool tech comes in secondary.
Tcl/Expect are both heavily used at Cisco for router and switch automation. But recently, we've been shifting to Python for testing and automation, which I think is a step in the right direction (e.g., pyATS[1]).

But do you also realize where you are getting all your news about China from?
Show HN: Made an article socialising platform
Thank you. I like the idea that Racket tackles each domain specific problem with its own language. I'd also be happy to see it used more often in the industry, especially since there's a growing ecosystem of libraries, tutorials, and other resources that ease the start into Racket.

Regarding the subscription: I'm using Mailchimp. A confirmation mail should've been sent out, if you subscribed. I will look into it. Thanks for pointing that out.

I wonder if anyone has ever starved when some government came in to make the food free?

Edit: I wonder if I’m the only on that has seen HN move exponentially faster towards reddit in the last year?
At Google you also have Ken Thompson, who I'd argue is a world class software engineer :) . Actually, scientist too...
What I could see from the (paywalled) article is a graph with data points to which a linear regression was applied.

I sur hope that the article explains why such fit and that there is a biological theory for a linear relationship between the variables.

Fitting everything linearly is an early sign of misunderstanding of statistics and quality of the conclusions.
Virtually all EDA (electronic design automation) tools include a Tcl shell that echoes back any GUI action as a Tcl command. This makes it very easy to write Tcl scripts that perform repetitive actions (e.g., load HDL source, compile design, simulate, check value of signal).
High School Football Player Scores a Touchdown [video]
I've recently switched to KDE with a Nvidia card, and haven't had too many issues. I did have to mess with the vsync settings to get rid of some screen tearing in fullscreen apps, but I've had the same issue on Windows 10 in the past. The fractional scaling worked great for me out of the box and was the main reason I made the switch.
How Mobile Advertising Is Driving Facebook Growth
The BC liberal party is indeed kind of a philosophical blend between the federal liberals and the federal conservatives (more like the liberals on social and environmental issues, but more like the conservatives on fiscal issues) - but no, nobody calls the BC liberal party "the Tories".
There site is dead, so maybe I missed some benefit.
But aren't we talking about a 1ms latency increase to back haul to a proper data center?
In theory you can go 90 miles if I did my math right.
Arlington, VA probably did the best job of any post-WWII high growth city in America. The orange line corridor is actually urbanizing what was once pure suburbia. Crystal City/Pentagon city is built pretty densely and has space for even more high rise buildings.

Every other city in America that grew post wwII would have just built strip malls and single-family homes.

There are new high rises going up in Crystal city even as rents stagnated. Can't be too much nimby stuff going on.

Compared to say, silicon valley, they did a good job.

Loudon County did a bad job. Fairfax did a mixed job. They definitely grew in some places--like Tysons, but other parts have just grown without planning.
Yes. Dissent is becoming an offense that can get you removed from the online public square.
Consider the Dreyfus model of skill acquisition. World class developers would be at the top of the pyramid. Not defined by how well they execute in delivering good quality software, but able to see the big picture and think of new ways to approach problems. Not necessarily answering all the questions, but knowing or sensing when we're asking the wrong questions.

And really their are different ways of achieving this. If you're a true computer scientist, then this could mean new algorithms, new data structures, new architectures. From a product perspective it could mean new ways of solving old problems. Like designing new methods of user interaction or otherwise attempting to solve problems no one has considered a problem before. It could also come in the form of management. New ways of approaching quality or estimating or productivity.
Does any existing kind of social network prevent that kind of attack? I don't believe so, and I'd think that's pretty difficult to accomplish. Aether does attempt to make this nontrivial, I believe, by requiring proof-of-work before posting things. I don't know, but possibly that proof-of-work also applies for impeachment votes (I hope it does!). Then depending on how hard that proof-of-work requirement is and how many people are already in the community, performing such an attack would become harder.

A lot needs to modify the DOM, and that would make it possible to include a <img src=x width=0>. Preventing this seems _very_ complex.
I would suspect that at least part of it is the same reason that I disliked having Pascal as taught as doing my programming introduction course: It's not a main stream language and it's sufficiently different that you cannot directly apply what you're taught in most commercial settings. The languages they will be using in the future, or expect to be using in the future are C-style object oriented languages like C# or Java (depending on where in the world you live).

It's not that languages like Racket, Rust, Haskell or even something like Prolog and other languages aren't interesting or useful, in many cases they're a better fit for your problems. It's just that without the background in the C-style and object oriented languages it's pretty hard to appreciate the more "niche" language and the problems they solve.
It is all very partisan. Like, the official North Dakota affiliate of the Democratic Party ran Facebook ads a day or two ago falsely claiming that people could lose their hunting licenses if they voted in the election to try and scare Republican supporters away from voting, their state senator stood behind those ads, and no-one much cared.
I like the form factor of my Xperia Compact, sadly with this year model they removed the headphone jack...

By the way, Jolla should be installable on it, if I'm not wrong.
I grabbed the SE before it went out of Apple stock recently and because I also loved the form factor. I ended up upgrading to the XS because the SE would drop calls consistently in my downstairs home office. The XS has to-date never dropped a call for me. Just thought I’d mention it for anyone else who frequents lower signal areas.

Reuters has some examples. Posing as Democrats, some of the tweets were telling men that they shouldn't vote, because it would be wrongly drowning out the voices of women who needed to be heard more loudly in this election.

The article and the quote you reference, says that competition for placement is "notoriously cutthroat" and the rich often buy their way in because placement is so limited.

That isn't the case in the US among most of the top 25 or top 50 schools. You can buy your way in to some of those schools, for most of them you do not have to. That's the fundamental difference. The top 50 US schools overwhelmingly consist of middle class and middle-upper class students.
there are two parts to settling down.

quitting your job and selling your old home, potentially making it harder to go back.

and finding a way to stay in china permanently.

the latter is only easy if you get married to a chinese. the former is not a dealbreaker, as you can always find a new job and home in your native country.

i have been living in different countries across the planet, and in any one of them could have settled. but even if i had decided to settle, nothing would have prevented me from reversing that decision.

even now, although i am staying here with the vision that i might be here for a few decades or even the rest of my life, i am not prevented from changing my mind at any point of time. the only "difficulty" is making sure my kids can go to school somewhere, but other than that, i am settled on the planet earth, and the only reason i can't leave that is because we haven't developed the technology for space travel (as opposed to space exploration) yet.

what i am trying to say is: don't worry about the question. don't worry about making an impulsive decision.

go to china and see how you like it. find a job and stay there as long as you like it. nothing is permanent, and you can always go back or try somewhere else.

greetings, eMBee.
From the Google Cached version of their site it looks like they want to be a CDN for mobile. There aren't any details of their actual "micro data centers" that I could find which would be the most interesting aspect of this really.
Amazon is not interested in altruistically revitalizing a once great city. They want to make money and will make their choice solely based on that factor (although there is certainly some nuance that goes into that decision - talent aquisition, politics, etc).
Core engineering, not really, although Xamarin might be an exception. Customer facing engineering, consulting, support engineering, and other field based software dev roles are primarily distributed, with varying degrees of travel. Ive been doing application development in the consulting services wing for quite a while now, so I’m a bit out of touch with the product engineering groups.
Geometric algebra has a definition that is more specific than any use of geometry to teach Elementary Algebra on real numbers.

What kind of transparency would you like to see from them? For some things, like active secret investigations how would you expect them to act transparently and publicly?
In general, sure. But here, the disaster extends to all levels, which removes that argument, no?
Nice, could be useful when I’m trying to answer someones questions about their phone remotely and they don’t know which one they have.

Original article, from what I understand:

This isn’t the whole truth. Facebook doesn’t sell data, but Facebook’s Graph API combined with microtargeting ad groups allows third party applications that the user has authorized to gather and sell sensitive data to anyone they want. In many cases, the data does leave Facebook’s servers as soon as the action is taken.

You could argue this is the user’s own fault, but prior to Cambridge Analytica, there was very little public understanding of what “connecting” an app to Facebook really meant among the general population.

Also, just because Facebook doesn’t sell this data today does not mean they never will.
So am I understanding correctly that this is just DNS blocking? Surely this court-ordered blocking can be trivially bypassed by switching your DNS server.

I didn't think Seattle traffic was very bad.
the solutions she comes with are easily explained and understood by everyone working on the codebase.

As a guideline, that's not terrible. As a hard and fast rule, it seems almost the definition of "lowest common denominator".

Taken to extremes, it can also preclude working with people who aren't generalists but have a really strong niche.
Good, I was getting sick and tired of thinking for myself. Just give me my Faustian filter bubble.
I agree with you, though being a lone developer sometimes allows you to be more flexible in the tools you use. At the hospital I used Racket, Haskell, C, and R. Because my programs didn't need to talk to each other, I was free to write each utility in what best suited the job. On a team I think there's a lot of pressure to just use what everyone else is using, which can lead to sub-optimal results.
That's common amongst the older breed of VCS: VSS or Perforce do the same.

For Perforce, that is false.

For Visual SourceSafe, that behavior is the default, but can be changed.
The government isn't an entity with its own independent will; the US public broadly voted in officials that put in place those policies. Leftists who openly identified as such faced all sorts of problems doing business even without government intervention.

Really in line with my own thinking. I bought an iPhone SE 6 months ago for the reasons he stated. The one thing I dislike is that you don't have a Finder type of functionality. But there are some 3rd party apps that do it well enough (I think one was called Documents).

Also it is easy to find a protectable huge case for these phones since they already exists for eons in the digital industry. I sometimes drop my phone in front of people to see what they are missing: the absence of broken screens.
