Maybe in US you do. In UK "laying off" a programmer for anything other than major breach of contract(like being caught red handed stealing) and without making the position demonstrably redundant, takes about ~6 months and it's not a pretty process. Laying off should be the option of last resort, purely because of how incredibly costly it is(not just financially - going through the right steps takes time from both HR and other engineers).
Hosting may be done for righteous motivations exactly, if the video is being censored away.

There are few good reasons to want to review a crime scene, and many good reasons against watching. There may be no direct reason to watch the video of the crime, and only the indirect chance that it might be important. There may also be perverse incentives or at least a morbid curiosity. Stipulating any of that would be unjust, though. The saving grace would be that clicking on a link is anyone's own responsibility, or the parents in case of child protection. Especially a security researcher and privacy advocate would highlight that fact. The real problem may not be the sensitive feelings but primarily advertisement, an expression of affirmation. Just what does merely hosting a video express?

Legally speaking, not formally but morally, the personality rights involved in the content stand against the matter of public interest. Claiming a matter of public interrest over this individually should be neigh impossible. It's rather confusing and contradictory to devalue others privacy, making a stand for privacy, and defending integrity of privacy.

Time/memory/data tradeoff attack
I will add this to the roadmap. Thanks for the suggestion!
It need to be a balance between the need of transparancy in the legal system and the abuse from court of public opinion (often refereed as trial by media).

It is sadly very common to ready stories of suspects being beaten or receiving death threats after the accused name get posted on social media. The criminals that do this don't get caught near enough to be a deterrent, so I can understand if UK legal system take steps to prevent it.
The Paris agreement, even if it were implemented faithfully, was still woefully inadequate. Not only that, but the longer we wait, the more severe cuts will be necessary.

Because of these considerations and our previous track record, I just really don't see the world cooperating on this issue well enough to meaningfully cut emissions. Eventually, renewables will become much cheaper than fossil fuels. At that point, emissions will hugely drop just due to market forces. We'll already be locked into some pretty bad outcomes by then though.
Maybe it's naïve. But I don't think it's really aimed at people who have already declined to participate in social media on privacy grounds. Rather, I suspect the idea is to provide an easier way of managing available controls for people who don't want to give up social media but who are somewhat concerned to reduce their privacy exposure to the world. That has to be a good thing - assuming it works and they're not doing anything nefarious in the background.

All that said, since the app is free and since they claim they're not slurping personal data, I do wonder how they plan to monetise this.
We created exactly what you are looking for at https://shift.studio. You design “systems” which are web components built in React (though as a designer, this is abstracted away from you). The components have variants, state, data, and we have a fully featured media query system to help you handle responsive design. Finally, we’re fully integrated with NPM so you can pull code in if you want and add functionality to your design system.

We will soon add the feature to expose your design system as an NPM package so that developers can install the system into their project and the component creation can be the domain of the designer with the application structure/creation being the domain of the developer.

This is a problem that can be solved but it can’t be half-baked solutions. It has to allow designers to fully create all states of a component and even work on components with live data flowing through.

We are in closed beta but you can view videos of how Shift works here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLl4_DbGKML_Jb2Wq5pEGW...
Battery energy density hasn't seen any large improvements in a few years. High-flying, long-range commercial passenger aircraft are probably not coming very soon. An aircraft like the Bye eFlyer could help trigger a resurgence in general aviation, which has been on a decline, I suspect in part due to costs. I expect the fuel and maintenance costs for the eFlyer will be substantially lower than those of aircraft typically used for initial training.

The relatively short endurance and range of the first model makes it most suitable as a trainer, but Tesla's first car wasn't what most people would want to use for a long road trip. Refinement of present-day technology might well result in an electric airplane in which four people could reasonably take cross-country trips.
... and it's discontinued.
Level 5 isn’t only about safety, but also about universality.

At level 5, one expects a self-driving car to ride gravel roads, park in highly temporary parking spots, spot police officers and follow their orders, drive short distances on non-roads (e.g. to drive around a car pile-up), etc.

A car that recognizes those cases, stops, and tells it’s passenger “please help me out for a few meters” would be a fantastic accomplishment and very, very successful, but wouldn’t qualify as level 5 autonomous.
Well the reality is that you don't get quality content generally when you allow people to publish whatever they want. Everyone has an opinion and viewpoint. That doesn't make them qualified opinions or viewpoints, and definitely doesn't make them worth considering. People have significantly mistaken and waaay over estimated the benefits of mass media in the hands of your everyday person.

It's becoming pretty clear the cost is not worth any perceived benefits (because I don't think you can really point to any benefits such models have given us).

And no, moderating and editorializing content is not dystopian. Whenever someone has that talking point it's really a case of someone read 1984 (and sometimes didn't actually read it) and decided to apply it to everything with absolutely no discretion and absolutely no respect for what the book actually said.
I think this is great advice, but many founders think that if they don't raise funding (or take the funding offered), a competitor who will, can come in and dominate the niche market. I also remember reading an article about SoftBank wanting to invest into Uber. If Uber turned them down, they would just give that money to Lyft or another competitor.
Also you can't shoot batteries out the back of your plane to create thrust like you're doing with liquid fuel.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. That is exactly what I was looking for.
I enjoyed the shout out for EFnet.
No, Skytube doesn't use YT's subscription and recommendations. You locally set your subscriptions and the app checks for updates occasionally or when forced, no account required, no server-side profile (well, they could, I'm sure you stick out like a colorful bird using that client), no YT-defined sorting of what might interest you. And it has a bookmark & download function built in. I'm somewhat of a fan as you can tell, there's more on https://skytube-app.com/ and you can install it via F-Droid.

They do have a Trending page as well, but I don't know how that's calculated. It's very random, has nothing in common with YT's Trending page, and I don't use it.
Yeah, sorry, I was thinking about one of the old ones because the OP wanted "minimized computers".
>One-year fluctuations are not very important to me, this is short-term thinking.

Very easy to say this when 6 month fluctuations haven't wiped out your savings.

People with this same thinking got in 6 months ago and have lost more than 50% of their savings.

When this happens during a recession it's everyone, the government is working to fix it, the world literally grinds to a halt and tries to dig out of it.

When this happens in BTC it's a "yearly occurrence" and "don't worry just HODL".
> Well you just did a Rust Force HN post

You made very strong claims without evidence, I made a counter-claim, but it's me who is part of the "Rust Force"? Fine, have some evidence:

https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/... [1]

Rust ist faster than Ada in some benchmarks and never slower than Ada in others. You scolded me for not doing enough profiling. So, where is your hard data?

> some of them like Ada, being in production since the early 80's, controlling human critical systems in real time.

Performance is not the only factor, and typically not the most important factor, when it comes to safety critical systems.

> Sure it does, it is a big performance difference to use JRuby or MRI Ruby.

And both are slower than Rust.

> Slow OSes don't get users.

The speed of an OS is not its only selling factor, especially for niche uses.

> You are quite right, after all D beats Rust when using LLVM in compilation speed.

You're moving the goal post. The criteria were "as fast as Rust" and "as safe as Rust", not compilation speed. Yes, Rust is slow to compile, that's not the point.

[1] The benchmark game is not the best evidence, but it's better than nothing.
I've been using Emacs in some form since the Amiga build of uEmacs in 1985.
These are some differences that I can think of after mentally running through a C172SP checklist.

In a gas plane, checking fuel level during preflight is a matter of direct observation. It's at a certain level, it's the right color, and it doesn't have any gunk in it. In an electric plane, you can't directly observe a battery's state of charge; rather, you can measure the voltage using a device of some kind, and then extrapolate range/capacity from that. That's not hard to do correctly, but it does involve more moving parts than just looking at the gas.

Batteries don't change their weight based on state of charge, which is nice for flight planning that normally has to take into account a heavier plane at takeoff than landing. But it is nice to be able to trade off range for performance by fueling to different levels in a gas plane, and you can't do that in an electric one.

Batteries perform worse in the cold. Gas engines don't (though normally aspirated/carbureted engines do). The eFlyer is a pretty small plane, though, and it probably won't go high enough to reach altitudes that are consistently very cold.

If your gas engine catches fire, there are a bunch of things you can do to put it out without killing yourself. But I'm not sure what you do if your batteries catch fire, except hope you're very close to a surface you can land on.

Well actually...modern jet engines tend to be high-bypass turbofans, with the PW1000G geared turbofan achieving a bypass ratio of 12.5:1.

In a turbofan, as the name suggests, the (vast) majority of thrust actually comes from the fan in front, and the turbine is really just used to turn the fan. That's what the bypass ratio means.

> is not only a bad solution, but only fuels those extremes

Where is the proof for this? This is an often repeated talking point when it comes to "censorship" or what not, but if anything we've seen that not doing anything leads to very predictable, very preventable, bad outcomes. We're just on the shore of unrestricted self-publishing and yet we're seeing the effects that these channels of information have had on our society.

I think this is often a case of people assuming that everyone is a good-faith, rational actor. And that's simply not the case in any sizable society or community.
Absolutely, I see two avenues of attack. As an individual, I see that Slack exists and is widely used in tech. I can't really say no to using them, but I can do what I can to protect myself. If a company requires bad online hygiene, that's certainly a difficult problem.

On the broader level, I definitely think the larger the company and the larger influence it has, the more scrutiny it needs. People who are in charge need to recognize the externalities of what they are making, and the potential negative side effects they can have. I have been somewhat encouraged at least in that this conversation seems to be happening lately.
Hmm. Thanks!
And yet I've barely heard a peep about Alex Jones since he was deplatformed. It seems to have worked pretty well there.
I think you’re best of sticking with Jetbrains IMO; if you’re using a highly structured language like java you may as well get the beenifits of a specialised environment.

For nearly everything else though emacs shines.

I see VS Code touted as an emacs alternative and while your muscle memory might suit it better can it truly give you the uniform fluid experience across pretty much any development enviromnwnt you might use?
Rap/HipHop sales have been growing since Napster compared to rock. The people willing to pay for music changed. Rap isn't more popular in general but the ability to pirate was much lower in this subgroup. So Rap sells more.. but rock concert's out sell rap concerts where indy rap isn't as celebrated as the superstar.
The credit history questions are a mixed bag. I've gotten questions like "Which make of car have you owned?" with choices of Toyota, Rolls Royce, Duesenberg, and Checker. It's not a hard guess.
Festify – Turn your favorite Spotify artists into a festival line-up
This is typical of how developers are treated by either their managers or by people who apparently aspire to consult managers by speaking the same BS lingo ("force multiplier": the consultant's salary is force multiplied.)

No other profession has to endure that level of incessant criticism. If a law firm has a fixed number of positions, no one says they should make themselves replaceable, or else they're building silos.

What utter nonsense. People like you are responsible for the constant stream of BS that working developers have to endure.
Something else to keep in mind: a plane gets lighter as it burns fuel. Electric batteries don't get lighter as they expend energy.

Chip Yates flew a few experimental electric airplanes a few years back. The last I heard, he had devised some sort of battery hot-swap system so he could fly from NY to England in one go. I don't think that one ever made it off the drawing board.

Wikileaks content, with a few exceptions, is full of U.S. & NATO leaks. Questions of "why is that?" aside, where can one find similar information about tools used by non-nato state actors?
> The best systems I have seen are the ones that use your credit history to ask you several questions

Given how bad the credit companies are at distinguishing me and my father (we share a name), I don't have much faith in this process either. What if you don't have a credit history?

Realistically most businesses don't have a need to pin an identity to a real-world person.
Why all the nay-saying? Give them credit for finding their niche and delivering (on the orders at least)!
The three adjectives I mentioned are all independent variables that each afford more tax advantage.
Don't get me wrong, these will be great for schools, but I don't think that's what the average HN reader is thinking about when looking at these. Bye is not publishing the important numbers so this whole thing looks a little too much like an attempt to say they're changing the entire aviation landscape when they're just another electric trainer (in a market that already exists and has more realistic contenders).
> Pengwin is also the first Linux distribution pre-configured and optimized to run specifically on Windows® Subsystem for Linux, a Microsoft-supported feature of Windows 10 and Windows Server 2019.

Yes. What kinds of optimizations make it optimized? This is my original question. Telling me the equivalent of "read the article" changes nothing when I've already done so and that it doesn't say what's been changed to make it optimized.

I've yet to carefully go through all 900 commits of with subject lines almost entirely of pull request #s, but one would think if whole repo's title was how it was "optimized" they could substantiate what they mean or what they did.
As far as I know they never delivered any of the Standard Range cars with cloth seats, and this sound like they don't plan to for the forseeable future.

Yeah the new ones. The guy wanted less tech and the Prius is the oldest mainstream car with batteries that I could think of.
I am so glad that I took the time to learn emacs during my uni days more than ten years ago. I would see everyone else using absolutely awful IDEs that they never actually understood while I was learning how everything really worked and setting up emacs to make my life easier. Nowadays I see people struggling with slightly less bad tools like VSCode and they often ask me about emacs but they just don't have the time to learn it like I did. I probably wouldn't have the time now either.

And before the VSCode fanboys downvote me, the other day my colleague's VSCode instance was using more than 200GB of virtual memory. When I typed on his editor it was noticeably laggy. He told me it was normal. He had five files open. My emacs had been running for two weeks at that point and had about 200 files, 5 shells, 2 ssh sessions and 1 IRC client going on.

Seriously, guys. The reason why you like VSCode is the same reason we like emacs. Come and use the real thing.
You just made me realize the deeper meaning in the name of that movie! (initials of the bases of DNA)
Considering how few I was aware of the answer is zero. Let me ask you something though, why was I made aware of this discovery and not the others?

Was it because a woman participated?
I did from about 6th-9th grade. I pretty much just used ttys except for the odd google doc I would need to use a laptop for. I would just use my rpi model a for everything.

tmux was pretty much required for any work. I would use irc, w3m for internet browsing, mutt for email, and vim for programming.

I thought if I only used the terminal I would become very good at it, kind of true but I have never had the ability to use linux at work yet. I learned a lot more by breaking and fixing X once I got a machine faster than an RPI model A.

I don't recommend doing this, it was not worth it.
Yes but that is the easy part. The hard part is knowing what can be solved with ML, gathering the training data, validating the model and then explaining what the model does.

Acually fitting the model is not the hard part.

But yes, not all ML is deep learning and most ML problems should NOT use deep learning.
Negative. 3.5 hours is at max endurance airspeed, probably 50-60 kts and only 3 of those is usable since the FAA requires you have 0.5 available upon landing.
If you’re intersted in this, I recommend Emacs or tmux (as a multiplexer and/or your “everything” editor), netsurf (web browser with frame buffer display mode for graphical interaction), and fbi (framebuffer image viewer).
I don't see why this rules out giving A.) developers who have now become B.) developers a raise to match their increased value
If any one of those 5 cities decides to regulate more aggressively, it could be an immediate, material negative hit to Uber.

Pareto distributions are common in two-sided markets with geographic factors. BUT, when there's a reasonable possibility of extra regulation imposed at the regional level... that's a big risk.
Okay, now I know, but the fact remains that Amazon is actually much large than Ebay by all apples-to-apples measures.
I left [2] unexpectedly excited for fuel cell flight perhaps with some form of battery or capacitor boost for takeoff. If it's a cap, you could even charge it while the plane taxis if an electric hookup was onerous.

AMA about the memo process or OP1/OP2 process.
It's an idea from decision-making theory. A maximizer would try to review all possible options, then select the best one; a satisficer would evaluate each option in turn, then select the first one which meets their criteria.

It's a way of looking at rational decision-making which accommodates the fact that information is incomplete and time is a factor; the optimal choice may not be the maximal one, because the cost of evaluating the options must be factored into the decision.

> ...naive..

Funny thing, I was watching (again - as a refresher) the videos of Financial Peace University from a few years back that I still have on my backups, and at some point Dave Ramsey says "Evian spelled backwards is Naive". He mentioned that in a 'water comparison vs cost' example on why we need to be more considerate on the management of our £€$.

Back to our discussion..

Those evil actors (Facebook, trackers, advertisers) survive from the constant flow of our data. If we ever/once we cut off this flow permanently, then eventually they will 'starve to death'. These evil actors can't go around advertising with 10-year old data.
It’s as ineffective and thus nonsensical as the “copyright notice” that typical consumers started to cut and paste into their bios few years back. By using their service, you’ve already accepted their agreement, to whatever extent it’s legally enforceable. I really doubt that it includes a clause that you can negate or place restrictions on the agreement within the content that you post using their service. It would make more sense to send them a letter if that’s really what you want to try to do. If you don’t want Facebook to use your image the best way is to not upload it to them.

> And what's the level of growth possible? Isn't that capped by the level of your senior devs?

Senior devs who are good at mentoring also ought to be good at learning new stuff. They'll also be learning some things from the mentees, at least some of them will know stuff they don't know because our field is so vast.

Once the mentees catch up? If you've inculcated a learning culture, these new senior devs will be learning new things right along with the old ones.
