> There's a fire-hose of Massholes who move there with no regard for the local culture

As a Mainer, living in Mass I find this hilarious. New Hampshire is the New Jersey/Texas/Florida of New England - to blame it on "massholes" is ridiculous.
The title is based on an infamous interview question by Peter Thiel “What important truth do very few people agree with you on?”.

I agree the title would more accurately (and less provocatively) be “Things that I believe to be true that almost nobody agrees with me on”

Funny you'd mention that: I was just comparing a Raspberry Pi 3 with a 1990 SS2, which totally skunks it 86:1!

Good. Apps shouldn't have code push imo. Run that shit on your web app if you need to. Flutter is getting a web target in any case soon.
interesting - extraordinary measures needed where possible to plan ahead to help with the crazy rush imposed because they don't release name until April 1st. Reserving an empty space for the new chars and then a quick patch right after the announcement
Qt Widgets is an amazing library, but honestly it is both more and less featureful than it needs to be in various cases. The rich text document stuff still holds up OK for basic cases, but I think the text rendering story could be a bit better. Last time I was doing low level text stuff in Qt, performance was not super impressive, and some of the APIs left a bit to be desired.

That's why I won't get a amateur radio plate any more. Anybody can look up my callsign and figure out who I am. And I'm legally required to show it.

At least a license plate has some obfuscation between plate# and human who registered it.
The "baking steel" required too much maintenance, and rusted to pieces and started dropping rust flakes into my food. The radiant heat effect was very small, and I nearly always burned the bottom of my crusts before the top was charred, even when doming the food.

The sheer amount of fuel you have to put in to get up to temp was absurd too. Having a 900 degree raging fire in my weber kettle sure made me nervous, even for hours after I was done making pizzas.
The tragedy here is that the government isn't the only adversary. Without encryption, users are being left exposed to black hats who can get at the backend storage, either through hacking or through failure to securely decommission physical storage media.
I don’t know if it’s “our culture”, it’s part of it but personality also comes into play.

If you spend time and effort doing something for someone and expect nothing in return it’s only natural that many people will feel uncomfortable unless they believe they understand why you’re doing it. It’s not necessarily transactional; understanding the motives of others is how people make sense of human interaction. Their understanding doesn’t have to be correct! It just has to make sense to them somehow.

Some possible reasons a person is doing a thing for me:

* They like me, we’re friends

* They like doing the thing or keeping busy

* They have a religion (Christianity, GNU/Linux)

* They like to feel helpful or useful, to teach or to demonstrate expertise

* We have a group bond (church, neighbourhood, club, etc)

* They’re doing me a favour. I’m a useful person and I’ll be able to do them a good turn in future.

* They owe me something (loyalty, money) and they’re paying me back by doing this

* They’re trying to rip me off somehow or get something out of me

* I’m incapable and they judge that I’m clearly in need of help (charity)

More self-reliant people are the ones who seem reluctant to accept free help. I think it actually hurts their pride a little to have to rely on you and not be able to give something in return. Accepting some jars of jam or a bit of money in return seems like a kindness.
When did this happen? I got my PhD in physics in 2008 and other than the introductory undergrad classes, all other classes (that I knew of, at least) were still taught using chalkboard/whiteboards.

And I agree with a sibling comment on this thread. The speed of information is ideal with live ‘writing/derivation’, as you can follow along at the teacher’s own pace and write each step yourself.

I used to do his for my own section classes I taught as a TA. I’d come in with a small post-it size note of starting points, and just work brought problems without referencing anything else. Kept it down to Earth, and I think (or hope) showed the students there’s nothing insanely hard here, just lots of small bite-sized steps.

DRI/DRM makes the assumption that your GPU is plugged in the one and only machine hosting all your apps. This wasn't that crazy in 1998, but today the GPU is under my desk while myriad app hosts are racked in datacenters (where a GPU might be an expensive addon, but probably doesn't exist) and good remoting is so neglected that the industry is using web browsers as display servers to fill the gap.
Define quality. It's all great to say that quality matters, but you're using an abstract definition of quality while letting everyone fill in their own mental definition of quality. That feels good, but is is a terrible way to actually make the concrete decisions about how the public purse will be used.
Honnold is mentioned in the article because he is routinely featured on outsideonline.com (an "old media" personality), Wu is in there as a representative of the social media personalities measured in followers gained through extreme pictures. The fact that she did not die from a careless selfie folly is what forms a chain of closeness between the easily ridiculed thrill selfie crowd and the "serious outdooring" celebrated by outsideonline.com. I read it as an element of self-reflection: "it's not as polar as we might like to think".

I think the issue is probably more towards the inappropriate disposal of a lot of things... I wouldn't mind seeing plastics heated and compressed into larger composite cubes as part of the landfill process, and contrasting see paper shredded and burried in layers.

Right now, so much trash is being sent in unclosed containers all around increasing general and specifically ocean pollution. Microplastics are a problem and likely to become bigger over time. Not just the US, but a lot of places really need investment in trash infrastructure in general.

That doesn't even touch on electronic waste. I'd love to see a law requiring unlocking codes for mobile devices that have active security flaws that have been fixed for over a year, without the update released to the device. At least then you could get a longer tail life out of a lot more devices.

Isn't most plastic a byproduct of oil/gas use anyway? All the same, would love to see the disposable snack/beverage companies held more accountable to the litter and waste their packaging brings. The problem is that too many people don't care... and too many others are tired of hearing about it. Divisive conversations and politics doesn't help here.
Yeah. I'd like to have seen how that compromised between business owners and the traffic police was negotiated.

This is the classic False Dichotomy.

Rust programs have bugs. Rust programs have security bugs. Are they mediated by memory usage bugs? Probably not, unless the program has unsafe blocks, or uses libraries with unsafe blocks, or libraries that use libraries that have unsafe blocks, or call out to C libraries. Or tickle a compiler bug.

Can it leak my credentials to a network socket as a consequence of any of those bugs, memory or otherwise?

Putting your memory errors in unsafe blocks may make them invisible to you, but that does not make them go away.

So, yes, of course it can.
Say you want to make sure a beach has the same amount of footprints in the sand after you walk over it as it did before you walked over it. You can't stop yourself from creating your own footprints, so the only option is to remove an equal amount of pre-existing footprints or to clear up immediately after yourself. Until we get hoverboards, this is the only way to prevent there being more footprints left on the beach.
I really thing we need interstate migration controls. The idea that within the span of a few decades a bunch of people sharing a set of beliefs can run a state into the ground then move somewhere else and start doing it again before society can react is an end run around the purpose of having separate states.

I'd be perfectly fine having to be a resident somewhere for say 2yr before having voting rights there. If I'm moving somewhere then it's clearly a good enough place as is and I shouldn't be missing much by not being able to change things.

In a number of situations that I have been involved in (Canada), the builder cannot get funding from traditional sources because there's no tangible asset to fund, and the builder still hasn't obtained permits from the municipality, etc (the necessary boilerplate to get going on construction). In these cases some builders will seek out a lawyer that will pool together funds from various investors and the loan rate is typically 15%-25% which makes for a nice profit, but with the knowledge that it could blow up. Once the permits are in place, then traditional funding comes a lot more readily.

The browser already mitigates this via the normal system call sandboxing on the various OSes.

And something like this already existed, 32bit chrome would play games with the LDT on OSes that allowed that to build a better sandbox. It's just that the LDT more or less disappeared on x86_64.
If your doing something intending to make money, then it's not a hobby.

I learned a long time ago that (for me, anyway) the idea that you should make your recreational activity into something that earns money is a horribly flawed one. All doing that does is to turn your recreational activity into a job. Part of the joys of a hobby are things like not having to engage in it if you don't feel like it, the lack of deadline pressures, etc. All that goes away when you want it to make money for you.

This is why I have a number of "side projects", but I clearly delineate between the ones I do for fun -- which I intentionally avoid deriving an income stream from -- and those that are intended to provide supplemental income.
What got me for a while was the concept of a tensor:

For example: What is a tensor?

Wrong way to answer it: Well, the number 5 is a tensor. So's a row vector. So's a column vector. So's the dot product and the cross product. So's a two-dimensional matrix. So's a four-dimensional matrix, just... don't ask me to write one on the board, eh? So's this Greek letter with smaller Greek letters arranged on its top right and bottom right. Literally anything you can think of is a tensor, now... try to find some conceptual unity.

Then coordinate-free fanaticism kicked in, robbing the purported explanations of any explanatory power in terms of practical applications of tensors. The only thing they could do was shift indices around.

What finally made it stick is decomposing every mathematical concept into three parts:

1. Intuition, or why we have the concept to begin with.

2. Definitions, or the axioms which "are" the concept in some formal sense.

3. Implementations, or how we write specific instances of the concept down, including things like the source code of software which implements the concept.
> As much as I love Clojure, it's still a harrowing language for beginners to learn and use

I have worked with several people for whom Clojure was the very first PL they have learned and they were very successful.
One thing is nice about Clojure: it stays consistent - the idioms, data structures, conventions don't suddenly change. In most other languages - you pick up a framework, you try to learn it and it feels like you are learning a whole new language.

Yes, Clojure can be very intimidating and confusing for the beginners but its learning curve is not steeper than of Java's, Ruby's or Python's.
Shell scripting languages generally make certain common tasks easy that most other scripting languages do not. Namely, process management and especially piping information through those processes.

If that's most of what a program is doing I would 10000 times rather read a script written in bash doing it than a python script that pulls in 800 dependencies just to get halfway to making these sorts of tasks take less than 5 lines for each invocation of a thing that takes less than 1 line in bash.

That's not to say that bash is perfect, but it is very good at what it does.

It's not complicated. You can pay Red Hat or one of their competitors for Linux verification and support (including security patches for included libraries), and in turn they'll pay whichever other vendors are necessary to deliver on that contract. Get it in writing. For accountability you need a "single throat to choke".

If you're using npm for something important then just realize that you're taking a huge risk and don't be surprised when it blows up in your face. Most of the discussions on HN are about toy applications which don't really count for anything. I would be surprised if the Visa payment processing system uses npm.
Oh yes this needs to be opt-in. There really is no need to be tracking usage.

My own feature request here: I use Zotero for academic writing which takes care of formatting the bibliography. I would love to use Polar if it could also do this or if not, of it could somehow export a list of documents to Zotero (not sure if Zotero has an import module like this). I'd also need folders.

If it had those two things, I'd be immediate subscriber because I have a million PDFs open at any one time where I forget where I am and where the good highlights are.
In economics there's something called the Wilt Chamberlain Problem, where Chamberlain explained that he liked basketball so much that he'd play for free. Yet he was paid millions. So every dollar that he was paid produced no incentive for further supply, which caused economists to consider this situation more like rent than wages. With the rent of land, no greater supply of land is manifest when the landowner is paid.

It's amazing to me all these years later how true the lessons of "The Mythical Man Month" were. At the time reading the book in my Freshman Comp Sci course the book seemed so abstract. If anything though, it should be required reading for management, instead of developers.
> Why are the Democrats upset about the census not counting "migrants" and going to court to block attempts to make the census only count citizens?

You are a bit off on that.

The census is supposed to count everyone resident in the US, regardless of citizenship status or legality of their presence here. It's been that way since the Census Act of 1790. (And it does not count US citizens who are not resident in the US, except for Federal employees and their dependents).

The issue with adding a question about citizenship is that it might discourage some people from responding to the census, reducing the accuracy of the count. The Census Bureau estimates that about 6.5 million people will not respond if the question is included.

There are legitimate reasons for the government to want to know how many citizens are resident in the country, and how they are distributed, but they already have that data from the American Community Survey which does include a citizenship question (in fact, I believe, the same question they are trying to add to the census).

The experts at the Census Bureau unanimously recommended not including the question (as did six former directors of the Bureau, both Republican and Democrat). The Commerce Secretary overruled them, claiming that the Justice Department said it wanted the question added to somehow better enforce the Voting Rights Act. (Emails between the Secretary and the DoJ that were introduced in one of the trials over this show that this is not true--the DoJ told him that the question was unnecessary).

Here's a recent article that covers most of this [1].

The US doesn't have a lot of "protected region" products. Obviously things with a state name or place have to be from that place, but we don't really do that as much here as Europe. Just not the American way I guess.

It's why you can buy "Swiss Cheese" from Wisconsin and Bourbon Whiskey from Orlando.
Ring 1 and 2, while rarely used on x86 have meaning that is not appropriate for what is needed here.

What I want is a new ring-4. Ring-4 is like ring-3, except that cache attacks are mitigated (disable speculative execution is the obvious option, but there might be something else that I don't know of). Ring-3 code can put parts of itself in ring-4 mode as required.

Can I just say that I think it's great that we now ceased to have a monoculture in display servers for Unix-based systems? It was the last one, I believe.

I mean, we've had choices for text-editors, for shells, for programming languages, for GUI toolkits, for desktop environments, for window managers, for remote-desktop servers and viewers, for ssl/tls implementations, for web browsers, and even for kernels.

The only thing everyone using Unix-based systems all had in common was that they had to use X for graphics. I think we had choices for implementations for X (Xf86?) before we ended up just using Xorg, but now we even have the choice to not use the X protocol.

Having choices is good. Having diversity is good. I hope we stop trying to see this one as everyone converging to using only one. We can have both, like we do now. I think that's the best.
