“But does that mean that women and people of colour should think of themselves as ‘colonised populations’ today?” You could approach this question by looking at data on racialised inequality in the US, access to universities, or gendered violence.

The groups who succeed are all about integrating themselves into the current order. Sometimes by hook. Sometimes by "crook." Most often by both at once. This is what the Irish did, and the typical Irish peasant in the 1st half of the 19th century was about half as well off as the typical American slave. Chinese immigrant groups often arrived on the shores, poorer than the median poor of the new country, but still raised themselves up after a few generations. In fact, in the 100 years after slavery, this is also what African Americans in the US were doing. There was astonishing progress in areas like literacy. (There were also huge reversals, but many of these came after 1960!)

However, there are some historical patterns found in the study of immigrant groups that come with the continued disadvantage of a group. Many of these involve unfair laws. These were eliminated in the US civil rights movement. Another historical pattern involves the cultural isolation of a group while the group's own elites exploit the group's cultural isolation for their own relative wealth and power.

Always ask yourself, who benefits? Follow the money. Or eyeballs. Or votes. Who benefits from the poor urban districts? Who benefits from illegal immigration and disadvantaged hispanic neighborhoods?

How are college teachers supposed to confidently court controversy when so many of them have zero security in jobs that barely pay above poverty wages?

That is true. However, how is it that tenured professors are being hounded out of their jobs for asking questions and for pointing out a particular ethnicity's accomplishments? (I'm talking about the medieval studies professor who wrote the article about awesome things white people did.) What's been pointed out above is also valid, but without the freedom of thought and expression, what exactly is the solid wage and job security protecting?
Or, if you're white and think everybody is overthinking this, just call yourself Jamal.
> and this does 100% tie into the point that our online social spaces are not public spaces, and are not even internationally recognized spaces. They are owned and operated by for-profit US corporations who have their own motives and will define "acceptable" in ways that do not align with civil society's views, that's for sure. I agree with you there, it's a complicated thing to fix that doesn't have much precedent, and there's no perfect solution in sight.

I think Facebook and Twitter should now be treated like utilities like phones and electricity, meaning that they should be restricted in how much freedom they have since they gained so much power. Regardless, it doesn't make any sense to delegate these companies--who have been caught spying on users and doing crazy stuff--with deciding what we can say on the internet.

In addition, even if the intentions are good a censoring tool will always be abused. The only possible solution is mirroring USA's free speech: if not calling for immediate violence, it's allowed.
Oh no. I see
I've been slowly improving my open source Windows chess program Tarrasch http://triplehappy.com for nearly 10 years. One of my improvement plans has been to put on my big boy pants, and spend the money and time needed to sign the program. I thought it was a big part of the program graduating and becoming a serious software citizen. After reading the comments here I am reconsidering and might save myself the pain. Thanks Hacker News!
You're getting down voted (at the time of my comment), but industry hiring practices tend to agree with you.
> I don't get point 2, if they are to 'hydrate' the react renders in node with data, they have to have a 'fetching' logic in there

The way I am understanding their blog post, they have a dedicated server (let's call it server1) for api requests, and then a server for rendering (let's call it server2). Server1 does all the fetching logic and then sends the received and appropriately processed json to server2, which needs only to use this data for rendering.

Kinda. You can use mimikatz to override the checks that the private key is isolated, you can even override 'no export' flag. Timestamping relies on external trusted timestamp providers implementing RFC 3161. There are many out there, maybe you could get a false timestamp out of them. I agree could be stronger than PGP, however it suffers a design flaw in that it considers the geometry of the PE file. PGP signs the whole blob. CVE-2017-0215 is an example of bypass by copying a previously signed header. It is more fragile and has been bypassed historically.
You can change the startup parameters of IntelliJ to reduce the maximum memory usage. If you don't it will optimize for least GC time rather than least memory usage and maximum usage will be 75% of total memory.

Totally agree he's not the only person doing great work at his companies. Also really weird to me when people are confident he's not the genius one man band he appears to be, and then immediately point the credit towards another Singular person like Gwynne Shotwell. If we can say it wouldn't be doing great without Gwynne Shotwell, it should also be clear it wouldn't be doing great/even exist without Elon.
A concept a High Performance Computing professor told me once: A program which is memory intensive must be slower then one which needs little memory -- just because load/write operations from the CPU take time.

That's one of the reasons why some bloated contemporary desktop software (i.e. Slack) feels as fast as its historic counterpart did in 1995 (i.e. our MSN/ICQ clients back in these days).
Interesting. Any idea of Type-1 hypervisor can run on ZFS (PCIe) SSDs somehow? Happy to wait for trim support if that's the requirement.
By how much? I suspect they simply were operating at a loss to build up their brand. Jet.com did the same thing.
I'm glad it's working for you. My usual work involves python, javascript, and occasional SQL, and really the syntax is not that much of an issue. The problem space difference matters a lot more (for me) than the syntax (which an IDE can help me with anyway).

I think part of the motivation was also managers thinking they could easily shuttle developers between frontend, backend, and database work, and that has mostly not worked out, because what takes time to learn about each is not the language, it's the problem space and the tradeoffs.

But, if it's working out for you, I'm glad it is. I was not impressed.
Thanks for the reply. Interesting. Sadly, here in The Woodlands area, last year the O&G industries laid off tons of IT people. Loads of people suddenly found themselves with no jobs or working at Home Depot to make ends meet. My own neighborhood had a scary amount of For Sale signs up, so I asked around and learned it was because of the downturn. One of the guys sold forklifts for a living to big companies and he was thinking of getting out of O&G sales altogether. Houston is an interesting place to be sure.
I'm not seeing many haters here. I am seeing a lot of people raising the issues they see with the idea, but that's not hating. For a project like this to be successful, people need to point out the problems it brings so that solutions can be found.
I feel like they learned their lesson, and unfortunately for us that lesson was the government will bail out big banks and executives will get away with it unscathed so let’s start the boom bust cycle over again in earnest.

Your article explains the House of Representatives makeup in what the NYT concedes is the single most gerrymandered state in the country. Should we really be generalizing from that?

It is not as bad as it used to be, if you want to build a gaming PC today it will most likely last from 5 to 6 years without needing any upgrades, most upgrades are barely noticeable if you already use a decent graphic card and NVMe SSD.

If you have no desire to use it as a gaming rig but simply want a beast for compiling your code/video editing then it should last even longer.
That's fair. It also takes a certain amount of wealth to get to choose where you live in the first place. But I think my point is still "mostly" true :)

Different fact check than what I'm saying. They don't rise during Republican presidencies. They do fall at a slower rate.
Stockholm's core is definitely denser but the population is still there in Portland if the routes were built right. And you're right, Oregon and Portland already do have high taxes. They couldn't fund this themselves. No city does. The federal government would need to provide a lot of funding. In Portland and all around the country. But I just wish the conversation in the US would change. Bold public transportation projects are almost immediate shut down as being unrealistic. It doesn't have to be this way. Nobody talks about the cost and feasibility of highways and roads or the enormous costs of car ownership. We just all default to that and don't question it. Cars are the default, everything is expensive and unrealistic.
WTF did I just download? Title should be changed.
Absolutely. Good luck with the lake plan, sounds like a good idea :)
Why shouldn't the practices be changed when you have control though? If the comment said "today's practices" then I wouldn't have downvoted, it's accurate. I downvoted this because of the use of the word "you", which implies the poster would choose it themselves.

I actually do the same, it is much faster to simply give money to Ecosia partners. You can go as low as 0.10$ a tree with some of them.

Still, they do a great job at finding good and trustworthy planting charities https://ecosia.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002296049-Do... , so their work is really valuable for that.
I would agree, to the extent that Undergraduate studies don't automatically "expand your mind", but provide plenty of opportunity to do so. I finished my undergrad degree in an Engineering field that I chose based on interests and aptitudes, but I also minored in Economics, mostly due to a professor I had for Econ 101. I know, Econ 101 is pretty useless in real life, but it was a stepping stone and walked me through the thought process of the various economists of the times.

My mind definitely expanded when it came to my discipline as well, and I chose to explore other research areas primarily because of opportunities which college gave me.

I'm also a termux user. My main use case is sshing into remote servers, I keep tmux sessions open and attach from my laptop or phone depending on what is most convenient/useful in the moment. I spend more time attached with my laptop than my phone, but sometimes I have an idea for something I want to do quickly without taking the time to boot up my laptop, or I don't have my laptop with me. It's not the ideal productivity tool, but it's hella convenient if you can train your fingers to dance around the soft keys. I have relatively big hands, and I manage to do it -- I've gotten noticably faster over the last couple years, but not on par with my laptop WPM obviously. I'm on a 5.5 inch screen, portrait format, with the full-qwerty Hacker's Keyboard app (source is on github).
Does this mean that some users won't be allowed to install Notepad++ because it's not signed? I know some corporate environments have restrictions on downloaded installers.

Off topic, but I have to say that whenever I need to open hundreds of files at once and perform regex operations-- this editor rocks that task like no other. Kudos to Notepad++

I think it's easier to appreciate the skill involved in making a piece of art than it is to appreciate the art piece itself. Some people (myself included), may even prefer appreciating the skill in and of itself, independent of the art.

Further, I think it's easier to comprehend how difficult it must be to produce a realistic sculpture or painting or what have you, compared to an abstract piece. As the piece becomes more abstract, appreciating it requires, I think, a lot more contextual information that the viewer may simply not have.

Of course, some art may just be crap. Who's to say?
"Well-meaning bad ideas spoiling a generation" is just a hook to engage readers and listeners, and I don't think Haidt believes that. His ire seems directed toward lazy thinking, regardless of whether that comes in the form of traditional bigotry or intellectual shortcuts like choosing virtuous groups, but he isn't an advocate of middle ground fallacy thinking either.

The problem with two-point, binary choices in making optimal social or public policy decisions might be explored with geometric analogies. When reading a historical presidential campaign speech or watching a historical presidential debate from over 50 years ago, it is difficult to completely agree with one person, and the middle ground in between the two speakers' positions is more likely than not to be disagreeable, too. Both speakers almost always seem to be far to the right or far to the left of what a majority of people today think with regard to issues like individual freedoms or fairness standards.

In other words the two points are "wrong", but so is the middle ground or "grey area". The two points don't imply a line segment that defines limits to a spectrum of good choices. Furthermore they don't define a line along one dimension, where one or both of speakers are simply to the right or to the left of what future citizens will think is right.

What does Haidt actually think? According to his writings he thinks that it is a worthwhile effort to understand what political philosophers actually said, and if you want to be reductive, you can do a lot better than left vs. right. He argues in favor of a model with five "moral foundations" to explain a significant portion of individuals' sociopolitical preferences:

- Harm/Care
- Fairness/Reciprocity
- Ingroup/Loyalty
- Obedience to Authority/Respect
- Purity/Sanctity

So, rather than saying people should look for grey area, middle ground choices, he is saying that they can maximize their utility by looking for a positions that best accord with their preferences in a five-dimensional hyperspace! That sounds glib, but left/right is garbage, and understanding what your personal values in those five moral foundations is at least tractable.
The unasked question in this article isn't whether Facebook really has changed its views on privacy, it's how you'll know if they have. Rather than addressing that the article simply assumes they're lying and bashes them for prior bad behavior. I'm not sure what that's supposed to accomplish besides catharsis.
This is a great example.

I can only think one or two examples of drugs that "sold themselves". The new HCV meds are a good example of a lot of pent up demand even prior to approval. That said, there were still physicians out there that were not aware of the approval, so marketing still had work to do.

I think it's a smart choice to give their customers the option for hotels, it solidifies Airbnb as a one-stop-shop for travel experiences.

There's a lot of cases where a hotel makes sense, such as short trips (especially if it's just one night), or business travel (some companies have policies that exclude non-hotel stays from reimbursement for safety concerns), and so on.

You don't want to send these customers elsewhere.

The past couple of days I took a deeper look into the RAM usage of Android Studio as I had my fair share of problems with it. I'm not sure what the 3GB you mentioned include, but I made the following observations:

- Android Studio itself: default heap size of 1280MB[1] plus ~400MB of metaspace

- Gradle: That's the part which surprised me the most:

- Most projects probably have a custom heap size set for Gradle. Turns out: If you're using Kotlin the same amount of heap size is also used for the Kotlin compile daemon. So if you configure -Xmx2G you'll end up with 2GB for the Gradle daemon and 2GB for the Kotlin compile daemon. The heap size for the Kotlin compile daemon can be separately configured by setting `-Dkotlin.daemon.jvm.options=-Xmx<xxx>`[2].

- Gradle 5.0 is way more memory efficient than the versions before and they even drastically lowered the default heap sizes[3].

- If you still have a custom heap size in your `dexOptions` set: that's not recommended anymore[4].

Thank you for the feedback. I built a career building WordPress websites as well so I do have gratitude for the product and the ecosystem that it has built. But for years I did encounter these problems myself, maybe you or others have not, but this was my experience.

As for the semantics, you are correct, we are not proposing that you can use Cosmic to connect to your WP backend. We provide a light-weight solution to add dynamic content to any website or app. We offer a web dashboard to create content and API tools and resources to integrate content into any website or app. No infrastructure management needed. Our customers benefit from using Cosmic because they can avoid the pain of building and managing their own CMS infrastructure. But if you need that level of control and you like managing infrastructure, that's fine, then you may not be a customer.

We are seeing more and more services that offload these non-core infrastructure services: Stripe, Twilio, Algolia. They add value to development teams that do not want to manage infrastructure. That's our opinion on how content should be managed.

Hope this helps see things from our perspective. And I have taken your feedback in a cheerful spirit, as I hope you have taken my reply :)
That Porlex just isn't consistent enough for espresso.
Fuck hotel tonight, they're not even a real business and they're just scamming people out of money. They hide their mandatory "resort fees" underneath the Pay button so that it's not visible on screen, and those fees aren't included in any of the prices that are either shown initially or are visible on payment screen (room rate, taxes & fees, or total).

You can see how this works in this video I made here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdrFYb4otTs

The entire app is designed to trick people about what the actual prices are. The founder is a total scumbag and belongs in prison.
Ask HN: How do you organize your ideas?
As per title, I would like to get rid of the plain text files that I use to keep track of project ideas, plans, etc...

I’ve tried org-mode, but I don’t think I am an Emacs person... I’d like some Wiki-like software, but most of them need a web server to run, I’d prefer something which has a native Mac application.

I’ve been using Evernote for a while, but still I am not really impressed.

What do you use for organizing your ideas?
If the results of competition and everyone trying to make the maximum amount of money are that people die young and impoverished while a small number of people become obscenely wealthy- I can think of no better definition of pure, revolting evil, and those responsible will certainly face justice at the hands of the state, or, if they capture the state, justice later at the hands of angry mobs.
