I had the exact same thought. I guess I'm glad I didn't post it as a top-level comment, because it looks like you have unintentionally become an example of how HN is prone to downvote swarms from those same conservatives who feel so victimized on Twitter.

One key here is the limitations of a "neutrally applied" standard. As others have pointed out, an alternative hypothesis is that the liberal majority is more likely to report violations. This can happen through sheer weight of numbers, it can mean completely neutral application of the standard but non-neutral invocation of it, and the author does nothing to address it.

Another confounding factor has to do with the very nature of conservatism and liberalism. One could argue, and conservatives do argue in other contexts, that the very definition of "hate speech" and the degree to which it is suppressed have a very liberal bias. Those who believe in those standards are more likely to invoke them, even if the two groups are equal in number. Those who do not believe in those standards are more likely to transgress. This is a difference in both invocation of the standard (by users) and its construction, but still not its application (by Twitter's mod team). Again, the author does nothing to address it.

AFAICT, what the author is demanding is equal outcomes despite unequal factors leading to those outcomes. It's an odd position for a conservative to take. Does Richard Hanania believe such affirmative action is justified in other contexts where a particular neutrally applied decision process yields unequal outcomes because of discrimination skewing its inputs? As always on deliberately "contrarian" Quillette, it seems like there's a bit of inconsistency here.
You're downvoted, but I tend to agree. Regardless of the community, reddit's full-width, compact layout is the easiest way I've found to follow a tree-based conversation.
Does this mean over here in Canada it is legal to look at it once? Because I’ve read otherwise and felt slightly spooked when I was researching that weird magazine they put out years ago. Not as slick a print PDF production as the media makes you think BTW, definitely just a few graphic design tutorials.
not a big fan of it myself, it's great for people new to programming, but it's easy to quickly grow out of it :thinking:
A million dollars in revenue still fits the definition of "making" a million dollars.
But then why even try to have this conversation on Twitter? You'd think that after a decade he would have some idea of what Twitter is good and bad at. I can imagine having this kind of failed interview when the company was 3 years old, but after more than a decade, it's a bit bizarre.

Unless this was explicitly meant as a test, and not simply an online interview.
Hardware as a service. Leasing model sounds good to start with. Hard thing for me here is how to combine software services with the leased hardware product.
So very true. Also I think this is extremely dangerous, because I didn't give a darn thing about watching propaganda material before, but NOW I REALLY WANT TO SEE IT, knowing that it is apparently so bad/convincing that even viewing it is forbidden.

Soon we will have more people watching it like we have more people smoking weed when it is illegal.
It's about as meaningful as "a couple that had a red toothbrush," unless you want to make something from a word as nebulous as 'Asian.'

There's no life to the story, it's to vague to even parse. Who was eavesdropping on who? Both on each other? A mutually distrustful relationship? How much was the pay, what were the stipulations? Does 'duo' imply they work together?

Oh well, at least I know they're Asian.

Well, they did convict that guy who tweeted about b___ing an airp__t once. Article about him overturning the conviction: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-19009344 , but the fact that a court convicted him in the first place means that the first court was convinced he broke some law.

There's certainly racism in other countries but it's not based on skin colour like in the US. For example some people in the UK have an aversion to Eastern Europeans, who are white but have no problems with black Britons.
VSCode is worlds faster than Atom. However, relative to any native editor (Sublime Text, Gedit, GVim, Notepad++, Notepad itself, ...), VSCode ranges from anywhere between "sluggish" to "... is it frozen?". Now, I agree that how big the difference is, and how big a problem that becomes is subjective, but the presence of the difference itself is not.

A good example being opening a new window. This is something I do semi-often to edit something out-of-context that shouldn't taint my current workspace. Under anything from Notepad to Gedit or Sublime Text, this task has no perceivable latency. Under VSCode, however, it is so uncomfortably slow that I actively try to avoid it, and instead use Gedit for these editing tasks. This is a significant downgrade in workflow compared to Sublime Text.

So, why do I use it? Well, features. However, what must be made very clear is that none of the features I use in VSCode exist as a result of Electron. Terminal panes and the better Go/Rust integration has nothing to do with Electron, and are within areas of difficulty that I could have added it myself over a weekend had Sublime Text been open source. But it's not, so I can't.

Electron is cancer.
User / pass doesn't work.
What really annoys me is that the under-bed spare (or any "trunk in bed" type feature) makes having a proper drop in liner impossible. A drop in liner increases the durability of a pickup bed by an order of magnitude and is all but required for certain use cases if you don't want to tear up the bed in short order.

Microsoft does not need to shift a single Azure Linux customer to the MS stack to make money on Azure. This was a major mindset breakthrough at MS that Nadella is not responsible for, but has leaned into. MS is not a Windows company anymore, they are back to being a software company. And Linux is fine software.

AWS delivers most of Amazon’s profit despite Amazon having no proprietary software story to speak of. Well, MS can do that too.

EDIT to add that MS does not even sell consulting services, their partners do. I’m sure the “lift and shift” story makes sense to long-standing MS shops, and MS may have even included that in their Azure pitch to them. But ultimately one of the best things about Azure from MS’s perspective is that they don’t need consulting partners to make money from it. They can reach directly into the product and ops teams at major enterprises and sell them raw capability with a spend that auto-scales.
Video transcoding is particularly suited to the cloud. This sort if unpredictable load - new titles will pop up at odd intervals - is ideal for striking the balance between speed to market (you don't want to delay releasing new titles) and cost (having extra capacity for transcoding on the off chance you need it is expensive).

Spool up hundreds of servers when they need to get a new title out, and buy them at cheapish rates is pretty much what the cloud was built for.

I kind of agree with what you’re saying, but it still lacks a lot of nuance.

Most good stuff arises from public funded research imo. How and why? Because it’s down to individuals that are allowed to do their thing.

This gets stiffled in a short term, for profit organization.
What we’re left with is often conservatism.
Too many big orgs with big money simply want to keep things as they are, and it’s clear (or should be to everyone) that this is not wanted or sustainable.

Regarding man earth balance it’s currently down to over consumtion by us in the west.

Markdown is the worst kind of formatting except for all the others.

I literally don't know how to write a sentence with more than one asterisk in on HN, and I've been here several years. Formatting is hard but Reddit at least follows a known standard and has a "formatting help" link right under the comment box if you need it.

> EVERY OTHER way to get a certificate, including for internal development and testing through testflight, requires the app to go through review. Every. Single. One.

Not true.

There is still Ad Hoc distribution, where you can sign the app to run on any device in your developer account (up to 100 iPhones + 100 iPads) and host it for download yourself. The build runs until your developer cert expires (1 year IIRC?)

I believe this is how TestFlight worked before Apple bought them

So would you say it is more fair to treat the paper as if it argues this hypothesis passes a basic smell-test and is worthy of deeper investigation?
so true. i would say insults or "clap-backs" are more likely to go viral than original idea/content/thoughts.
I don't tend to agree with this, the biggest issue with Markdown is pretty much the double newline, and it only makes sense in places like email where you want single newlines ignored. On Reddit/HN where nobody writes comments with hard newlines unless they mean to change paragraphs, that feature could have been omitted.

More likely it'll be limited in a judicial review, someone is bound to bring one, hopefully fairly soon. UK courts are quite happy to strike government legislation as illegal or outrageous from time to time.

Only a pity we'll soon no longer have the ECHR in the chain of appeals.
I’m sorry, what about this headline is “hyperbolic” or “self-congratulatory”? There are 26 algorithms, and they are advancing to another round of consideration. Or are you referring to the claim of “post-quantum”?

He was fined 385 quid. That's a slap on the wrist to say "don't waste our time with jokes about blowing up airports".

And yeah these things are a side effect of common law which which is pretty subjective around things of bad taste. And, as your story shows, the courts worked it out.
People are always complaining about Electron for shipping along with every single application, but actually, modern Linux desktop is not that far away from this just by itself. On a relatively standard desktop installation I currently have

- webkit-gtk2
- webkit-gtk3

- qtwebengine

Additionally I have two Geckos for Firefox and Thunderbird. All of them use skia, which then also gets compiled 6 times in total.

Using Gentoo, I'm a bit sensitive to this sort of thing ;)

To my knowledge, there is nothing in German that is illegal to view, only publishing and in few cases (child pornography) ownership is restricted.

There is not much to grok really. It's just that there's plenty of low level transmission protocols like Ethernet, PPP or CDP, there's plenty of even lower level physical media types like copper or fiber or pigeons. Then there's a lot of higher level things that rely on IP: TCP/UDP, ATP, SPX and so on, and then the entire universe built upon them. But in the middle there is just IP (v4 or v6) and that's it.

Almost every small company with the sole survivor has this story. You know where all the bodies are, have done everything once and then discover some uncomfortable truths. You are right to get out in your early 40s. Don't wait.
I'm not in complete disagreement to your sentiment. I think this will be the case most of the time. There are plenty of singular cases where wording rather than spirit have been used to make examples though - mostly to the detriment of personal freedoms. Markus Meechan for example.
Twitter was founded as a micro-blogging service, not a forum. It evolved into the anonymous comment section for the entire internet somewhere along the way.

Seems like neither side were being self aware in this case.

I'm also not sure exactly what the product problem is with Twitter. The only exposure I have to a group of people upset about Twitter are the folks that Joe Rogan had on his podcast, and their complaints are just that it's toxic.

However Twitter unlike Google and Facebook is the least functional as a utility, so refraining from using it if you don't like it seems like a no brainer. You're not losing anything functional

How about eliminating them because they are killing us, literally by the millions? Viewed that way, it seems more like normal self-defense to me. Currently mosquito-borne diseases kill around 700,000 people each year; this figure does not include the cost to society of the people who become ill but later recover.

I chose it back in the day, like 10 years ago. It worked fine so I kept using it.

I've configured it to my liking. I know its ins and outs. It's unlikely to surprise me. I've also written scripts for it, so it does what I want it to do.

Also: I remember trying Weechat once. I typed "/connect blabla" and it errored out, telling me that I can't connect to arbitrary servers without editing some configuration variable or something like that. That gave me bad vibes. Very bad decision. UX matters.
Okay so that's why things like the Radical Militant Library and ParaZite are .onion hidden services (not linking to them here, as I don't want to get downvoted to death). I always presumed they wouldn't last long on the clearnet. They are exponentially more controversial than Stormfront or other neo-nazi websites and actually have elaborate manuals on how to maim or kill your enemy, and are a far cry from silly schoolyard things like The Anarchist Cookbook.

Fancy Water Bottles Became a 21st-Century Status Symbol
Ok, sorry.

Was anyone accusing them of having an anti right wing TOS?

In general I agree with you, but I think you'd have a hell of a time teasing apart the politics of it. Eg if a rule said all statements had to be scientifically proven, is that anti right wing? Is that even wrong in and of itself? How would you balance that out?
> The UK has always had draconian policies ranging from [...]

We have also always been at war with oceania.

No, there was a time before those policies.
The goal matters little if the law, as written, does not discriminate or limit overly expansive wording.

The goal of background checks was to protect the most vulnerable, not create a license to work required for a quarter of all jobs, etc, etc.
I still struggle with thinking too "proceduraly" sometimes, but what really helps out with me is drawing / envisioning the sets of data as a series of circles and Venn diagrams.

It also helps to change the language you use in your inner monologue. Instead of thinking, "For each row in table A...", you should think, "For all the rows in table A that match on...".
>What about researchers attempting to understand the mechanisms of extremism? Can you get a permit to commit thought crime?

My cousin had a university professor who taught an elective about modern terrorism or something like that. He allegedly told the class on day 1 that they would all wind up getting "randomly" selected for pat downs as a result of the research they would have to do.

I suspect in the UK that you would be flagged similarly and they'd stop looking into it if it looked like legitimate research or keep looking into it and possibly make an arrest if you seem to be the kind of person they don't like. Regardless, this law sets up a hell of a lot of (completely innocent) people to be harassed by the state.
HTML Snapshot Testing with Node
> My issue with SQL is that a programming language should allow you to compose and name building blocks, and then recombine them to build ever more useful software.

When I write a complex query it's kind of like this.

I start with one table (viewed in my head as an excel style grid of results). I join another table then filter on the join / where clause. Again the output is effectively another table. Rinse repeat.

The difference is that SQL is very powerful at what it does, so you don't need to compose blocks in the way that you would in other languages. Just think of everything as a table. The result of every join or filtering clause is another table. That's your building block.

You are going to need significantly less SQL than Java / Python to get the same results from your data.
Not necessarily. Every production will need mostly non-star workers. If they're all unionized, the stars have little choice but to sign up or work in the few productions that re non-union. Additionally, the Hollywood model is to sign up stars to unions before they're stars. This is further bolstered by the fact that every trade in Hollywood - directors, writers, producers, technicians and handymen - has its own union.
My personal experience with the theory has been extensive and I am quite confident, but yes - from a broader point of view I think anyone with academic perspective should read it as food for thought for potential future investigations.

You can create as many intermediate or base views as you like, within a view definition, CTE’s have local scope and are similar to variables, if you need schema scope, just define the query block as a view instead.
UDFs are simple to create are lazy and can be easily reused and composed, in Postgres they are first class objects, scalar UDFs can be called anywhere in SELECT and Set Returning UDFs in the WHERE clause, use more than 1 and they also automatically Lateral Joined - which is incredibly powerful and composable - when you get your head around them
