I assume Apple sees the need to visit the App Store as a feature. I don't think this is going to change.

Operating systems have traditionally included the bare minimum to cover many popular use cases, but the included applications are rarely best of breed. TextEdit.app/Notepad.exe are lousy text editors, Calculator.app/Calc.exe are lousy calculators, and Chess.app/Winmine.exe are lousy computer games.

I've personally never needed two timers at once, and I can name a dozen other "basics" for me that I'm sure wouldn't be in your list. We like to complain when Apple doesn't include a feature (it's so basic!), and we also complain when Apple does (they're killing indie developers!). I think this is a good one for a third-party app. Unlike, say, keyboards, there's no real benefit I can see to this coming from Apple.
There likely are for other under represented minorities. That is not unprecedented, people not in the majority will want to share experiences and be around people with shared experiences. I think the thing you're missing here though is that the White@ group is 80-90 percent of the company already.

This is one thing I never understood. Im conservative and race rarely crosses my mind. Having grown up military and been in the military you perform your duties and hang out with a range of people. Not once in my 11 years in the military did I see race brought up. After getting out and being in tech, race is brought up all the time that. Those who 'skew liberal to progressive' have an unnatural obsession with race. Why is that?
I've been in this industry for going on 20 years now, spent 5 years bouncing around as a consultant and I've personally never worked with a black developer. I can't imagine what it's like for you. Hang in there man, I hope you make it.
The more I read about the concrete problems businesses have in China, the more apparent it becomes to me that the issue has very little to with patents and copyrights. In terms of so-called intellectual property, the major issue is trademarks, which is basically about being able to establish reliable reputation and product providence, and of course state-sponsored corporate espionage that takes trade secrets.

Far more important is just the red tape, and inconsistent and unfair treatment of foreign-owned companies, which compounds the already substantial language and cultural issues.

In any event, none of these things--trademarks, trade secret espionage, and rule-of-law regulatory environment--can be significantly addressed through existing negotiations. U.S. negotiators are trying to score big "wins" on copyright and patent enforcement, but as many of us on HN already know, those things (particularly the latter) don't actually contribute much of substance to the economic engine. Tariffs are also not really a big deal considering that WTO rules already provide a floor. Like with fuel efficiency standards, the returns on bilateral agreements are substantially diminished from the outset.
It's a pretty low price. The HondaJet is close at approx. $5MM, though it has more than double the claimed range of the Alice.
This is interesting since I know of an initiative at FB that aggressively pursued talented AA engineers. The compensation packages they were willing to offer as part of the initiative were impressive even for FAANG. Why put that effort forth if the environment at the company is not adequate to retain whatever AA talent you get?
But living with an unending fear of having your entire self worth immediately judged at the color of your skin is something that no other race lives with in this industry

I agree with you in everything but that sentence. Others suffer some pretty painful misconceptions, or worse, are ignored.
Firefox has some catches that make it not as easy to use in a work environment though and I honestly think will hurt their market share over time, mainly the fact that it doesn't use the OS cert store. This causes issues with most corporate web proxies that do SSL inspection since IT departments will push the proxy CA cert into OS cert stores through whatever endpoint management solution they have.

People can disagree all they want about SSL interception in a corporate environment (for good reason), but it's here to stay. When a corporate user downloads Firefox, tries to simply go to Google and gets a cert error page, they're just going to go back to Chrome because the process of exporting your company's CA cert and then importing it into Firefox so you can use the browser is just simply not feasible for most users.

It is a different experience (especially general life experience) ... but I feel the same way being over 40 years old.

In interviews I got a lot of "culture" questions where younger folks who I went to school with who interviewed at the same place ... reported getting no such questions. It's easy to imagine that is about age.

Another classmate actually had a recruiter straight up say his age was a concern, when he asked her to repeat that, she straight up repeated it apparently having no clue how wrong it was.

Not exactly the same as race, but I feel like I have to prove myself a bit more all the time.
What kind of experiences? I hope they weren't using an internal group which can be read by other employees with IT access or bosses to smear their white, Asian, Jewish, etc coworkers.

That is a good point. I've never had to test the theory that my backup key would work in a pinch. Come to think of it, I don't actually recall anybody in my circle of friends and family having any issues either. Cars sure have become reliable in the past 30 years. I also live somewhere relatively mild where we don't put salt (for the most part) on the roads in the winter so corrosion is less common.

It's just one search away! This is what a search for "the effects of advertising on self-esteem" on DDG yields the following Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_advertising_on_teen...

The footnotes are full of peer-reviewed articles like: "Impact of exposure to idealised male images on adolescent boys’ body image"[1]. I spent about 2 minutes on this and this only covers a small sliver of the impact advertising can have on mental health.

Show HN: Notably – minimalist markdown notes app
Hi,

I just launched Notably: https://notably.cc

Notably is a free markdown based tool for creating and sharing beautiful content using markdown syntax.

You can use notably to create notes, text snippets and blog posts which can then be shared publicly

Notably is still in public beta, and is an MVP. We'll soon be adding the following functionality to it:

- A REST API, enabling integration with services such as IFTTT/Zapier

- The ability to create posts from public URLs

- Post streams - publicly-shared collections of posts, allowing users to create a Notably-based blog

Notably is completely free to use.

Thanks,

Chris
> I have to immediately force myself to be twice as charming, friendly, witty, and intelligent sounding as the equivalent white or Asian person just to be taken seriously.

I'm of North African descent, born and raised in france and this passage really hit home.

> I don't really know that there's any solution to this, it's just something we have to live with.

Unfortunately there isn't. I don't know much about the American social structure and context, but over here, colonialist views are very much embedded into the collective subconscious, leading to sometimes very despicable behaviour (even though it may not be malicious).

The thing I find the most difficult is to suppress the urge of turning this into a "Us vs Them" thing because reality is much more complex than what we perceive but living with an inner "respectability police officer" can become extremely tiring. All of this to say that I choose to ignore the noise and focus on the positive. At the end of the day, we live in an era where this is how the game is played and we've been dealt a bad hand. I accept it and will do everything I can to help create a world where my children don't have to go through the same things as me.

I will end my comment with a piece of actionable advice anybody in a similar position might benefit from: Make yourself visible. I say this because a lot of the younger kids in my racial group (north west/west africa) don't even consider this industry as a viable career option even though they may have an interest or a strong ability. They just dismiss the possibility entirely. This doesn't mean we have to force our kids to become SWDs/POs/PMs/<insert tech job du jour>s but making yourself visible (via youtube videos, conference talks, going to local schools to introduce your job ...) can have a massive impact in having those kids think "Hey he/she looks like me, maybe I can follow a similar path".

The wire is being used as an antenna. When you use UART, you have the other end of the wire terminated with another circuit. (i.e. The energy goes to into the connecting circuit.)

Because the wire ends at an open circuit, the currents on the wire radiate, turning the wire into an antenna.

">ex manager >manager why would their opinion be at all relevant"

That pretty much sums up the state of the dialog in the industry and it's pretty sad that you can't even find thoughtful comments on Hacker News. Regardless of your politics, everyone deserves a fair shake. I'm a black engineer and manager with experience at several tech companies, including Facebook. At every company I've worked for I've heard jokes about African-Americans (overheard, to my face, from managers and ICs alike) and dealt with people assuming I'm a junior engineer at the beginning of every encounter despite the gray hairs lining my chin. At the conclusion of my tech talks and even technical interviews people routinely ask me if I have an engineering background! These things may seem insignificant ("they're just jokes") but we're social creatures want to feel recognized and accepted. That hasn't stopped me from building a career I'm proud of and I don't lose sleep at night. But I'm an outlier in that regard.

The larger subtext of the entire diversity conversation is learning to coexist. It's not about black people, women, the LGBTQ community, or any other single group. It's about a better working environment for everyone indefinitely. Being against that is literally pathological.

Based on the quality of discourse on this site lately, I'm sure many of you will take my words out of context and make broad assumptions about my beliefs. For the sane ones, please reflect on the words I actually wrote.
I agree with you, and you're not alone in this. The amount of hatred and condescension I hear from American developers towards anyone from India, is frankly startling. I'm sure a lot of this stems from prior bad experiences, and part of it stems from outsourcing fears. But it's still saddening that so many otherwise good people see nothing wrong with casual stereotyping.

It's a _little_ surprising because of how "decentralized" Tumblr is, more like reddit. Reddit has all sorts of nsfw subreddits, but users have to actively seek them out. Tumblr has the same sort of model, where each user is in control of their own blog that others would have to find. Simply marking a blog or post as NSFW (much like marking a subreddit as NSFW) should have been enough for Verizon. Purging the platform seems completely unnecessary.
There's room for both ideas.

This one has the benefit of being stupid simple to implement and maintain. In 10 minutes I can throw this together for all of our login stuff.

But a fully automated password changing system/API? That's not exactly as "maintenance free". Now you are maintaining a full API separate from your normal routines, and it's in an area that I always advocate for simplicity since subtle mistakes can mean compromised accounts. And the "fully automated" API would also have to work with "multi-factor" systems, which alone make everything more complicated to cover all the different ways it's done.

Don't let the possibility of a better solution kill the benefits of this simpler one.

Damn, downvoted for a lighthearted Gru joke :(. I mean, c'mon, have you seen the 'car' that Gru drives? Aside from being fictional, he sure does look like he has a claim to the most carbon emitted by a single individual.
It is disappointing to see what appears on the surface to be a legitimate question downvoted simply because it may not be worded in the best way. The fact that our industry skews to the left (for the US definition of the term) is a fact, and while the assumption that left != racist is wrong, that doesn't warrant downvotes in my opinion.
Mobile Firefox didn't support all extensions last I checked. It at least has uBlock Origin on Android, but almost everything else I looked for wasn't available. Firefox on iOS doesn't support them at all.
I mean, no one on earth is perfectly non discriminatory. But liberal to progressive people at least hold the idea that it is a moral imperative not to discriminate and at least try not to. Of course people will always face a certain level of subconscious discrimination from others, but the way OP described their experience made it seem like they were the target of overt / willing discrimination and I wanted to know what they had experienced to make them feel that way.
I feel sad that through so many years of progress we ended up with multicore CPUs, obscene amounts of RAM, graphics cards that can heat a house... all to power one or more web browser engines.
>>something that no other race lives with in this industry.

As a brown muslim from India, let me tell you its the same with a lot of other people as well.

There is not a single example in the README. I checked the step-by-step guide, but it starts with installation and documentation instructions, then imports, and I don't know yet how the language feels like. Ok, let's check that handbook then. Computation model, type system, ...

Please, I just want to see a program with a dozen lines of code to see what it looks like. Of course, more extended examples with the intended usage would also be very welcomed.

Here is the actual spec: https://wicg.github.io/change-password-url/index.html

Presumably this is only for accounts you are already logged into and want to change the password of, since change password forms usually aren't accessible unless you are already logged in.

However, the same domain may involve multiple account types. AWS and other popular websites have multiple types of accounts, different login methods, and different change-password forms, on the same domain. If all this URL does is redirect to one single page per domain, it won't work for cases of more than one type of login.

Also, it seems that password reset is a lot more common than just changing a password, so maybe this spec could be extended to that form, too?
As a Mozilla employee, speaking from my own limited perspective, it seems the company as a whole broadly agrees with this analysis even if it isn't vocalized quite this succinctly. Chrome started out being force-installed alongside Flash, and there is no solution to the bundling problem -- the problem is even larger in scale than the article suggests because of Chromebooks affecting desktop. People who use Firefox in the future will increasingly be people who do so consciously, presumably because they view Mozilla as helping them protect their privacy. Chrome is and will continue to be the default.

Eventually, Google will do something that is an abuse of their monopoly power. Either there will eventually be a privacy/creepiness fiasco, or Google will attempt to use Chrome as leverage to squeeze a competitor out of a market.

When that happens, Mozilla will be well-positioned as an alternative. The path forward in this view would look more like Mozilla as a constellation of disaffected companies and users attempting to free themselves from Google. It won't look like Mozilla on the side doing something by itself. We will largely be defined in opposition to Google.

The article correctly points out that a wiser Microsoft could have gotten a head-start on this inevitability by partnering with us early.

What Information Can You Trust?
> Hello backup and archive. That is frankly where most of HD storage is today

I'm not sure whether that's true or not. At one end, tape still exists. At the other end, a lot of data that's already stored with high levels of redundancy doesn't get backed up anywhere else. Do you have a good source for a definitive answer?

> rebuild/scrub operations aren't really an issue either if your running RAID6

Rebuild/scrub operations still happen, and are still an issue, with RAID6. They might not be quite as visible because they're not soaking up host cycles, but they are soaking up disk IOPS. In any large or even medium-sized storage infrastructure (by today's standards) you'll have some going on and occasionally you'll have some that overlap because the first one took too long. Before long you'll hit a case where you get a third failure while the first two are still going on, and you stop relying on insufficient RAID6. Then you're into erasure codes and your own kind of scrubbing. Those aren't exotic situations or responses any more.

> If your IOP limited OTOH, you likely have a problem.

Yep, sure do. Can't wish it away, or make it all better with a magical free SSD caching layer. Have to solve it, which requires effort and expense. What I'm saying is that bigger disks make that harder. I'm not complaining, it's what I and others choose to do, but it's a fact.
Right, but a huge part of the consumer SSD space has moved to m.2, where there isn't a lot of space to just pack in another couple dies. While conceivably you might be able to make a 8TB drive in m.2 its going to be easier in 2.5", and people with the money to buy that large of a SSD probably don't want it on SATA. Which is why, as you point out they exist, here is a 8TB u.2

"It reminded me of go channels for some extent."

Go channels explicitly drew from CSP for inspiration, but it is not exactly the CSP in the paper.

That said, almost everything that draws from CSP for inspiration has at least a small difference from the paper, if you analyze it closely enough. Often major differences. The idea seems robust enough to those variations that it's not a problem, though.
