Twitter, reddit, facebook, hacker news aren't the public street. They are someone else's public meeting hall that you may rent out for the small price of contributing useful dialog and not being an asshole. The fact that they don't allow all comers is a feature not a bug because some would be patrons are hateful vandals whose presence is liable to discourage your more useful patrons from visiting.

The public street is the broader net where everyone can have a voice and decentralization is probably a more useful strategy. If you feel strongly that free speech on the internet is essential don't ask facebook to tolerate deplorables while others demand it kick them off.

When the deplorables kick puppies and blow up children you will certainly lose the argument.

Instead consider building or contributing to decentralized communications that are challenging to block under the ideal that a platform where its hard to block deplorables from communicating with one another is also free of interference for more savory communications.
This. Thanks, I forgot about SVN!
The way I see it is that phones produced by Apple have the same weight and roughly the same material content as any other phone. Apple provides current software for their phones at least 5 years and these phones tend to get updated and handed down. There are good reasons to believe (see Asymco's blog) that the active lifetime is longer than most of competition. Which leads to my conclusion that the ecological footprint of an iPhone may well be smaller by a factor of 30-50% than any competitors phone irrespective of manufacturing differences where I believe Apple is at least on par.

I don’t actually understand how you can even compare “transfer of wealth” and mass civilian casualties, let alone decide that the former is worth more.

The WW2 reference is a bit of a captain hindsight addition and easily the most controversial. I only said contributed, I would leave that out to make my point clearer next time.

Ask HN: Companies using Racket?
Hello everyone,

I'm looking for companies that are currently hiring Racket developers or did so in the past.

I created https://www.racketjobs.com, because I was myself interested in workplaces that use Racketlang commercially, but couldn't find any. After sharing the site on /r/Racket and a couple of other sites I got a bit more than 100 people to sign up for the newsletter.

If anyone knows a company, using Racket, or a place on the web where I can find open Racket positions, I'd be happy to hear from you. Of course I did my Google searches before.
That's a complex standard. I would think 'g++ theproggy.cpp' should be enough.
Indirectly, yes, though I found myself disliking the AppleScript language, so turned to JXA which provides the same functionality in ECMAScript. I found this repo to be helpful for both languages:

https://github.com/JXA-Cookbook/JXA-Cookbook

I know it’s not quite what you are asking, but I hope it provides some benefit.
In the case I was making there would be some form of contract. It's very unlikely that you've purchased anything recently that didn't have some kind of contract that went along with it (e.g. an implied warranty.)

Think of this as purchasing a season pass from Disneyland, and then being forced to wait in a longer line for every ride because someone didn't like the tone of your voice at some point during that process.

That would change the value of what you purchased, not disclosing that is dishonest, and, to me, a clear violation of good faith and fair dealing.
I only knew of "mainframe" used in the fashion that drfuchs described. Out of curiosity, I did a search of archive.org looking for uses which match your description. Here are two of the matches:

"Model 706 mainframe can accomodate 10 scanner plug-in cards. ... Before operating the Model 706, the appropriate scanner cards must be installed into the mainframe. Each scanner card (up to 10 cards per the Model 706 malnframe) is Installed in the appropriate vertical slot In the rear panel of the Model 706. Refer to Figure 2-1 for an overall picture of scanner card installation." https://archive.org/details/keithley_KEI_706_Instruction/pag...

"Peripheral cards, capable of handling words as large as 32 bits, perform operations normally requiring expensive computer mainframe expansion — display control, multiple capstan tape control and the like." https://archive.org/details/TNM_832_Data_Interface_-_ECG_Dat...

However, that isn't what reaperducer referred to when saying "the term “mainframe” seems to have become exclusive to big iron only in the mid 1980’s."

Here's an MS thesis from 1971 titled 'The minicomputer : an educational tool', which makes considers the "mini-mainframe" as a distinct category. https://archive.org/details/minicomputereduc432mars/page/62

Here's how a 1974 publication titled "Role of the Minicomputer in Small Educational Institutions" characterizes minicomputers, quoting https://archive.org/details/ERIC_ED100376/page/n3 :

> What is, a minicomputer? Unfortunately, the term minicomputer is used by many people with many different meanings. For the purpose of this paper, we shall characterize a minicomputer by the following two criteria.

> (1) Physical size . Typically, the main components of a minicomputer (its CPU and main memory) are closer to the size of an electric typewriter than, say, a washing machine. (Not counting the power supply and racket, the CPU and memory may fit on a single printed circuit board!)

> (2) Cost . Typically, the main components of a minicomputer (its CPU and main memory) can be purchased for less than $10,000 - in some cases for less than $1,000.

This is clearly more like a machine we would call a desktop - how many people have washing machine-sized computers on their desktop?

A 1975 report titled "Use of Minicomputer Facilities for Higher Education Instruction" helps identify that 'minicomputer' was a new computer category starting in the late 1960s, quoting https://archive.org/details/ERIC_ED112763/page/n3 :

> Although each of the methods offered a level of computing suitable for some instructional use a belief was expressed in 1969 that the new "minicomputers" might be able to provide instructional computing support that even the smallest colleges could afford.

For a multi-platform C++ project, these are quite reasonable prerequisites, as bad as it looks at first glance.

Also AFAIK, to dabble with the web version, just download filament-*web.tgz file here: https://github.com/google/filament/releases, this contains a .wasm and .js file you can copy into your project (and soon this will most likely be on npm).

Expecting a JS user to compile an emscripten project would be a bit much to ask ;)
I see a tag that says "dupe" on the comment, so maybe that's why. I did see that anecdote about the company town elsewhere in the thread.
Freedom of [dis]association has already been torpedoed. If political leanings were protected tomorrow like sexuality and sexual orientation are protected today, it'd significantly reduce the deplatforming. Joyent couldn't deplatform for politics anymore than christian* bakers couldn't refuse gays their cake! Interestingly, political opinion is not something protected in progressive-pushed instruments (take the Creative Covenant's CoC for example). If the right got smart, it'd modify the legal devices of civil and sexual rights to include political rights, or at least strip legal liability protection from political deplatformers (moderate a little -> then moderate in totality).

Demand isn't infinite. Every person that moves to the attractive city is one less person that wants to move to the attractive city because that person is already there.

The goal isn't lowering the housing price. If one person moves in and the price stays the same that alone is already a success.
The point he's making is it might be better to talk about it, instead of declaring it taboo. AfD is literally "Alternative für Deutschland". They aren't great, but enough people are voting for them because the other parties won't tackle thr issues they care about.

As for "all the white power folks", they may be loud and they may be a convenient boogeyman, but how many are there really? And isn't it better to know they exist, than have such speech stifled, only to have it surprise you e.g. at the next election? (Talking about the AfD here, before you draw too many parallels)
Oh, I’m not saying this is LIKELY. I’m just spitballing how it could happen.

Honestly, this sort of organic conspiracy could be robust.

Suppose a particular work A - which is referenced by other works X, Y, Z - is shown to be counterfeit. Does that mean works X, Y, Z are counterfeit? Not necessarily - A could be a counterfeit version of a work that was lost! That would, indeed, be the most valuable work to counterfeit. Take a work that is referenced by other works, find all the references in other works you can, and use that as the skeleton of your counterfeit work. People will eat it up, because they’ve been waiting for it.

New physical evidence, yeah, you’re screwed on that. Especially if you recover an original version of a work that was later counterfeited.

> A muslim shot up a gay night club, we don’t ban Islam or mosques or deplatform Muslims from the internet for holding similarly antisemitic views. To suggest such an action would be roundly decried and the person drummed out.

This is a false equivalency and a weak argument, where you are suggesting that all muslims are both terrorists and anti-semites.

A "terrorist" shot up a gay night club, and yes, we do ban terrorist propaganda from the public square, or are you advocating for allowing ISIS/Taliban/Al Qaeda, etc, to be allowed to preach their hatred and drum-up support?
Reddit is usually a crapshoot of quality.

Maybe someone will have something for Y Combinator (et al) soon, that's more of a targeted platform for these types of things. Reddit and Facebook both suck at this.
The most annoying aspect of HiDPI KDE for me is that Gwenview doesn't support it. It might appear to support HiDPI, but if you look closely, it always renders images with jumbo 2x2 pixels, even when downscaling. Okular used to have this problem as well, but it's been fixed there.

Apart from that, I've had the same experience as you. Everything seems to work at 2x scaling, including third-party and GTK+ 3 apps.

It's a cross-platform project which needs to access system APIs. For instance on Linux you need to install a number of required development packages for this. Similar details on other platforms.
> Yes and No. The trick is that "as a whole" people change attitudes through life. In general, as you get more wealth, you become more conservative, as you get older, you generally end up with more wealth, so in general people become more conservative as they age.

You make it sound as being conservative is a bad thing. Alternatively, you could phrase it as, people become more conservative as they gain more responsibilities and experiences. Overall, I think it's a good thing, because it means that change happens slowly, which makes it easier to undo bad changes.
And quite a few of them have had their economic outlook badly damaged by the crash preceding 2008. Millenials who graduated before 2008 still have a lower salary on average than the younger members of their cohort.

In inflation adjusted terms, Millenials are far poorer than their parents for their phase in life on average. The latest number I can find is 20% less earnings than their parents at a comparable age.

Now Forbes argues that that’s because Millenials are extremely educated, their parents were working 4-8 longer than they were in their late 20s, giving Boomers more time to earn wealth.

While that’s certainly part of it, I don’t think it explains it all. The social contract around who gets the spoils of a growing economy seem to have shifted significantly since the 1980s. That an uneducated factory worker Boomer earned more in inflation adjusted money than a colleges educated Millenial indicates that something is up.
Great run-through, thank you!
A private company has quite a bit of latitude, until it becomes a monopoly (or part of an oligopoly). Monopolists always hide behind the "but, we're a private company" defense. Who wouldn't? Settled law and legal tradition holds that we tolerate a monopoly only when they are regulated and conduct themselves in a manner that is fair to all.

It is unacceptable for monopolists to infringe on peoples constitutionally protected rights. When a monopolist offers a service, they have to provide it to everyone. We can't have electric monopolists cutting power to people because they voted for the "wrong" party. We can't have banks and payment processors making it practically impossible for people to conduct commerce.

Going down that path leads us to where China already is. Calling someone on the phone leads to a message about how the person is socially unacceptable and that proceeding with the call may cause you to be similarly blacklisted. Or, you just get phone access cut off.

Same here, raised on a diet of Soviet books in Kerala, India. Misha was a favorite of mine. Still remember the publisher's names, Mir and Raduga publishers. There are other books like Firebird, some nice books about night sky and recreational mathematics ...

I really miss those books and wonder if some copies could be found for my daughter who is now of the same age when I used to read these books.
As someone who landed on Gnome 3 quite a few years ago and hasn't looked back, I'm really curious: why do you feel it would be great to use on a tablet?

To me, it doesn't seem that great on a tablet. A major part of what makes Gnome 3 amazing for me is how easily I can navigate between workspaces or move windows between my screens and workspaces using keyboard shortcuts, but tablets don't even have physical keyboards. The whole "switch workspaces instead of windows" workflow of Gnome 3 is great on desktops where people multi-task and have complex contexts on each workspace, but to me it seems that this workflow would be a lot less useful with a single screen, and even more useless with a tiny tablet screen.

What are the implications for cause and effect then?

Stated differently: How does this affect entropy? Could a scrambled egg return to the state of an unbroken egg?
How is it exploitation? These are some of the best jobs available to people coming from the slums.

The real reason that they don't pay more is of course: They don't have to. That's not what the white media people (desperate for yet another "exploitation" story) want to hear though, so you gotta make up some "social" reason.

If these people were paid more, the whole business would just move to the next cheapest place, possibly in another country. That's the peril of unskilled labor everywhere. You can't fix it by fiat.

This is very very difficult to read. Instead of writing extemporaneously as one thinks it would profit you to break your thoughts into paragraphs. A few minutes spent editing the end result, trimming the fat, and organizing what remains could profit innumerable readers.

I believe that the public interest is that the broader web be accessible to all comers. That means that it ought to it ought to be possible for information and money to pass between interested parties. This however does not mean that individual players like facebook have to help nazis spread hate. Facebook isn't the public street but you too can play there with your own server.

If this becomes challenging because registrars, hosts, colocation providers don't want your money or your hate the logical solution is decentralization not forcing facebook to give nazis a place to congregate.

Bitcoin is an unmediated exchange of money, stuff like tor hidden services are an unmediated exchange of ideas. This idea could certainly be expanded and made more user friendly if a substantial group of people felt like their ideas weren't welcome on the broader net.

If this isn't possible because the only people who can't play are a tiny minority of hateful idiots then it seems like the system is working.
but its not just house prices themselves if you look at a map of value of farmland in the US you will find that more accurately reflects the current house price upward rise.

Example...in NW Indiana farm land is about $35k per acre which reflects the amount of revenue earned per acre. In California its 3 times that.

Its we are running out of farm land acre to feed the world that is driving up the house price in the US

You obviously can't save the jobs in one country and also create those same jobs in another country.

The only way for both sides to profit (over the long run) is for either country to do the job it can do the most efficiently, i.e. comparative advantage. In practice, that's a real tough concept for people to come to terms with. People want to have their cake and eat it too.
Same. Had a Commodore 64 hooked up to a CRT in the living room. Thinking back - "a programming language as an 'operating system'" is actually still very cool idea for those reasons you mention above.

Hell, even moving foward - in the 90s using DOS - you had to be somewhat computer literate to get anything to run well (esp games those days which bundled their own hw drivers, etc). HIMEM.SYS, different system boot files per application, etc.

Unless if you are quite old, you will live to see the adjustment.

Houses at this point are owned by Boomers, some Gen Xers, and the richest subset of Millenials.

But this is quite an unstable situation. Everyone needs somewhere to live, but vanishingly small parts of the population need two places. As the Boomers either die or move to retirement homes they will need to liquidate their real estate in massive numbers, largely all at once thanks to the tight clustering of the Boomers.

There’s simply no way that this glut of housing will be absorbed by the richest groups of Millenials without sudden and deep price shocks, especially since Boomers appear to prefer suburban homes that the childless Millenials don’t typically want.

What’s interesting to me is what will happen politically. Boomer house owners have been very adept at using local politics to prop up their property values, the only notable failure was 2008. What kind of bailout will they ask for when their home is worth 1/5 what they expected?

If there isn't a community on Reddit for something, what are the odds people are going to flock to a new platform? The quality issue is because these groups are generally peer-organized and some groups have better organizers. But like, what is technology going to do to make a better Reddit for people with depression, transgender people, people whose partners have cheated on them and people with incredibly rare medical conditions? Those are disparate groups that only have the common thread of needing a support group as far as I can tell.
