Vote the freeloader off the island. A cooperative is not a charity, though it does have the freedom to be more charitable if that is what the employee/owners decided to do. And obviously, it operates in an external market place which places some pressure on it to operate efficiently.

The primary difference of interest here is the way an employee owned cooperative is directed by people the employees (who know what is really going on in the company) and for their benefit, rather than for the benefit of disinterested shareholders.
Fair enough. Thanks for making the comment. Made me think about how fast we act in terms of public status pages. And sorry that route leak affected you.
Nvidia makes shovels. They stand to make a lot of money no matter what AI works out (possibly more than anyone else), all that without having to do any AI themselves.
And...keeping people out is going to change that how?

Well, they did just fire a bunch of people for complaining about working conditions, so it's no surprise that they're stumbling into other mistakes.

Most here at HN think of the left as wanting more censorship in order to avoid hurtful speech, but that's not generally how the left thinks of it. On the left, the view is that the practice of maximizing freedom of speech by tolerating extreme speech, has the effect of reducing the freedom of expression of the non-extreme, non-powerful constituencies.

In other words, protecting freedom of expression by politely tolerating hate speech has the effect of making the targets of hate speech less free to express themselves in practice. Like a heckler's veto, the presence of hate speech dissuades minorities and the less powerful from engaging at all. It's not freedom from being offended that the left wants, it's a less corrosive public sphere that doesn't demand that the weak struggle through a painful headwind in order to be heard at all.

Having a extremism-based standard for measuring freedom of expression creates a requirement that participants tolerate the material harm of extremist expression. The left wants to shift the standard of measurement to tolerating more speakers of different kinds, rather than more subjects of varying extremism. The left still believes in maximizing freedom of expression, they just recognize that there are different metrics that may apply.
Death of a Startup
That's not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying the design doesn't matter to these people. By virtue of the product being produced by Apple that means it's "good", so they buy it regardless of whether or not the design actually makes the product better.
Zulip, Rocket.Chat, and Mattermost are probably the best options.
How much of that sales jump is from increase in cost of steel? All US companies are now forced to buy more expensive US-produced steel. This is exactly what economists predicted. US steel companies make more money at the expense of everybody else.

Performance comparison of transmitting jumbo frame on Windows and Linux system
That's the Wikipedia summary, but the details matter heavily. NeWS was developed in the time before "personal computing", for workstations where all software was trusted. The threat model was "what threat?"

It also baked into assumptions about the graphics model and where the expensive parts are. It has the same fatal flaw as the X11 graphics model: that rendering will be far slower than I/O traffic, so socket bandwidth will never be the bottleneck.

Embedded programmability has ended up being a security disaster. It was perhaps ahead of its time, but we understand its flaws and principles now.
"Backend programming" is a really broad class. It's safe to say that computationally intensive problems aren't best solved in node. For many server side "web service" type applications node is sufficient but there are a lot of tradeoffs being made that you may or may not be aware of.

By choosing node you are choosing single-threaded async IO as your primitive. You have to be ok without a threading model that supports shared memory (v8 objects don't pass between isolates, only certain types pass between web workers). And what's more, you have to be certain that your problem will fit these choices in the future.

Is it ever a good idea to hamstring a backend service with one narrow concurrency model? By comparison, golang offers you all of those things. If you need to write a backend service that performs well and can respond well to changing requirements, you have a much better chance of doing it with golang than node. I just can't promise any individual developer that they will enjoy writing the golang service more than the node one.

I don't want you to think I'm saying golang is better than node, we haven't even started to talk about the module system. I'm just saying fundamentally it is more flexible and can do everything that node does with at least the same level of performance, and generally it is "faster". Most things out of the box are faster. Benchmarking and performance is in the DNA of the go community and this isn't true for the node community.
This point of view seems ignorant of history and human nature. For example, after slavery was abolished in the south, prison wardens realized they could just rent out their prisoners to former slave owners to make some extra cash. In support of this, the state governments came up with all kinds of nonsense like truancy laws so they could put black people in jail for any reason, even being unemployed. They just made them slaves again, legally.

Using prisoners for profit means there is profit in imprisoning more people.
Marketing doesn't create reality, but the courts do and sometimes what a word means in a legal context is different than in conversation. It usually hinges on some standard of being reasonable.
If you want the most BSD-like distro, it's probably gotta be Slackware. It changes little between releases (just newer versions of the software it ships with mostly).
I'd actually love to understand why people trust fringe opinions given that the track record of "people who hold fringe opinion in established fields" is totally abysmal. Even if you were inclined to believe them -- don't you think the responsible option would be to measure the effects of small changes (maybe you implement some degree of tariffs without going for all-out war) rather than coming in with fringe views, making radical change, and all the while believing you are absolutely right?

This is the problem with the Lighthizer / Ross / general Trump admin for some people. People who have respect for expert / "established opinion" are gonna look at how these people act and call them idiots. And it's not a meme -- it's because people who respect experts are often experts in their own kind in other fields, and they've seen this behavior before, and hint -- it's come from the idiots.

Are you saying it is the user's fault where it is clearly Slack's inadequate implementation that is the problem?
Come on, in the 90s and early 00s, volunteers ran and managed IRC networks scaling up to hundreds of thousands of users. This was back when hardware and bandwidth were much weaker and 100x more expensive. It's really not that hard.
That's certainly a good point.
I'm more surprised that the IBM server has 200k users?
It's not so much a conscious sense of personal space as it is discomfort with the unfamiliar.
Why this model isn't more popular is really confusing to me. Technically trained people have the skills that make the world go round. We should be extorting people with capital through the nose for them and making sure that we are taken care of instead of treated like disposable cogs.
Not OP but I think hurt is correct. My understanding is that if you're passing return values directly into functions then there's nowhere to annotate the types of those values, but many (most?) people are perfectly okay with that even though you could argue that the types are being inferred (in that they're being left implicit, just as they are when you say:

var gxy = g(x, y)
var abc = a(b(c))
f(gxy, abc)
What's crazy is that it's not anymore, was the implication.

Because if "working" was the only thing people ever wanted, we would be using Windows 95 or something. People want "not crap", and everything related to X11/Xorg is a gigantic pile of crap.

> terminal latency of Wayland default compositor vs X

I'm not sure what you mean by "default compositor" — Weston? — and what's "X" — Xorg without any compositor, with the Windows 95-esque situation of everything drawing into one buffer?

Yeah, you can decrease latency by a tiny bit by not compositing at all, but the result is totally unacceptable visually. People generally don't want to look at Windows 95 anymore.
I'm excited to see a couple lectures with Swift. All the work to add interoperability with Python and make swift-jupyter is very appreciated and feels like it's Xmas in June.
Although what you say is true, don't expect any change of mindset from US citizens. There is just too much glorification of the evils of the past and present, be it hollywood, most news or basically any mainstream source of information. For every piece of information telling about horrors of war, PTSD, seeing kids/women blown to pieces / doing it yourself, there is 10 pieces talking about proud veterans, patriots, camaraderie etc.

I think this behavior is common among us all, us vs the rest. Its jsut that this is so much more obvious if you see it from outside of the bubble. Look at former colonial powers, many citizens of western europe still consider enslaving and raping whole nations for hundreds of years an enlightened period ("but... we build them rails!" or similar is a phrase I heard more than once on this topic).

But since we don't have time machine, its hard to say whether US was/is overall the force of good vs evil. Somebody would have to fill up power vacuum otherwise, and trust me, you wouldn't want the communist USSR earlier chinese to run the whole show.

AFAICT Firefox text rendering has always been fine on Linux. Chrome until a year or two ago had no subpixel antialiasing, different gamma for antialiasing, or whatever - its text rendering used to look ugly, or more neutrally: different from everything else.
They somehow got Clevels on the bandwagon. Those who actually understand the implications don't have a word.

Truth is I see many capable people buying into these as well because of the convenience - read: lazyness - factor. The "ain' nobody got time for that" effects everyone and the willingness to pay for services had skyrocketed in the past decade. This applies to blogging, to home servers, backup, anything.
We're all guilty at some level.
Thanks, that's a really useful distinctin. I've been thinking along these lines already before, but it's useful to concretely name and describe different modes of work, to better incorporate them in my mental model.

What I had in mind was things like Customer Support or QA personel (which exist even in start-ups & tech companies), where the tasks are pretty clearly defined, it's easy to track progress, and it's fairly important to "do the hours" (e.g. if you need 24-hour customer support), but you can offer things like location independence (precisely because work is so easy to track).

Unfortunately, however, I think that most programming work (and this probably extends to most technological work) isn't quite as easy to categorise... basically, even if your objective is 100% convergent ("our client wants this, we'll make it"), there's still different (better or worse) ways of getting to that goal, so there's still a lot of creativity/decisionmaking involved... and it's obvious that simple metrics don't really work ("I fixed 100 bugs today!" "Yeah but you wrote all of them yesterday.")...
We have to remember that kids don't have any reason to love distant relatives, and that adults don't have the right to demand physical affection from kids.

Ah I see what OP meant now. But isn't Trump's stated goal with the trade war to obtain more free trade ultimately? My understanding is that he believes a trade war with China might force its hand into adopting more liberal trading policies. If that's correct, I wouldn't say the objective has changed so much but the approach definitely has (and it's indeed not a very popular approach among economic liberals).
You are only seeing half of Trump's hand by looking at Twitter. Trump has a front channel which is Twitter (et. al.) and a back channel which you nor I am privy to. He uses both of these to achieve results.

Also, assuming that Trump doesn't utilize advisers seems to be willful ignorance. Trump studies a topic in depth before making a decision, and he very much listens to experts in that study.

Ofcourse we see so many creative people on IG/Youtube I subscribe to those who make meaningful content that inspires me, but there are many more who consume that content, but not create their own, and that's the trap I think a lot of people fall in. That's where people realise they don't actually have any real hobbies.

And that's another thing, we shouldn't need social media to feel validated or to compare, people should feel accomplishment in solace of their hobby. Sometimes the expectations of having a huge following online can even have a negative effect on the mental health of online artists. I see many talk about their own struggles and the pressures of being creative (especially the ones who start to make a living off it).
And for good reason! It's about time, too. The "Unix Philosophy" is intellectually bankrupt. You shouldn't have to fork a process from the shell to multiply two floating point numbers (especially when the CPU can do that in one instruction), or do simple string manipulation. That's ridiculous.
The whole point of HN is that you don't need to read the article.
Honest question; how is MacOS getting worse?
Wayland developers specifically prioritize the "every frame is perfect" paradigm over performance and latency. This means there will never be an option to disable things like composition or vsync.

Also, even though it is always claimed that "X11 a is messy conglomerate of tacked on technologies and extensions" the Wayland protocol is extremely complex despite severely lacking features. And because of the strange priorities it has worse performance than X11 even for native apps. The self proclaimed "minimalist" wlroots library has more than 50000 LOC, all for moving around a bunch of overlapping windows? A bit much.
Europe mostly plays the good cop to the United States bad cop; the main problem arises when the US doesn't understand this.

I'm not familiar with Rudnick, but Stein (RIP) and Klainerman are giants in analysis/PDEs. They contributed much to the theories on which they were quizzing him. These are professors at one of the top mathematics institutes in the world.

Kinda like every other subsidy in a capitalist society.

>I would blame less on "right wing deregulation"

And that's called being blind by ideology.

Having a pro-market stance is respectable position. Being blind to our ideology shortcommings is less than ideal but normal. Trying to rewrite history to fit our own ideology either by mistake or willingly, is being a propagandist.
It may be a free market, but we only get one planet earth, and your ideas about a free market don't really have an answer to that concern.
Just look like America is not enough. In China, the government logic is "Hey, our labor is cheap and market is big, so it's fair to give us your secrets and accept our management", which is not exactly what Americans was planing for, even on the surface it may look very similar at start.

It's just like two people marry together for different intentions, just too hard to yield something good out of it to begin with.

Genuine question - when I use slack - I'm able to see messages going back to when the channel was created for my organization as well as all files shared by date. I'm not sure how slack doesn't do this well?
> Well guess what, that's a design decision and we live in a free market - so if you don't like it you're welcome to buy a different laptop or phone. The fact that these design decisions have been integral to making Apple one of the most valuable companies in the world probably indicates they were good design decisions.

Good design decisions, perhaps. Good environmental decisions, not at all. I think we're all starting to realize the impact of externalizing the environmental costs, so I can't say the article's basic premise is far off.
people chose iphones when they were far superior to everything else and have been (largely) locked-in by switching costs ever since.
The fact is that I just don't know. But it is plausible that local jurisdictions could create and enforce restrictions on pedestrians being distracted while crossing roads. Here in the US we have cities with bans on phone use while driving or cycling, so why couldn't similar restrictions be placed on pedestrians while crossing roads?
Andrew Yang says microphone was 'not on' at times during Democratic debate
If visual perfection is nothing to you, if you love screen tearing, slow window redraw when moving, Windows 95-esque window trails, etc. — keep using Xorg.

Wayland is a protocol fully designed around composition. Clients have their own buffers, the server composites them. There is no way to draw directly to the screen, because we're not in the 90s with 640K of RAM and there's no reason whatsoever to implement the crappy way of rendering windows.
> Vote the freeloader off the island.

Wow, great solution!

Except that, of course, you're missing the problem. Firing the employee isn't the problem - I don't think it's relevant whether it's done democratically or if the CEO "dictates" it.

The problem is, how to find freeloaders? In absence of objective metrics (which is what the parent raged against), it's an art! Or, it will come down to internal politics, ass-in-the-seat time, popularity contests, ... not that much better than in a non-cooperative company.
I seem to remember hearing a story how he failed the first time and spent a while cooped up with Stein afterwards going over everything but maybe that was a garbled version of this?Or there was a written part?
It depends.

I had a similar outage at another job for a day. Pre slack days, but instant messaging and email was down.

I needed to do some things so I just stopped checking with people. So did other people.

The result was I found was that we were double checking, coordinating and doing a lot of verification that honestly wasn't needed. The sky didn't fall, everyone still saw the changes and were ok with it.

After that folks stopped doing a lot of the traditional coordination that proved to be superfluous and maybe never accomplished anything. The handful of mistakes that happened, were also easily caught / fixed.

Granted, this requires people to make good choices.
Thats why we never replaced our homegrown, predates-npm package manager. It feels crazy to be maintaining our own when there's such a popular 3rd party one out there, but honestly...it really sucks. Migrating nearly a decade worth of code to something that is often objectively worse doesn't feel worth it. And so the homegrown package manager lives on...
Well you dont get to be the sole superpower in the world by competing against healthy opponents with natural advantages. The reality is Americans are not so competitive, let's say, against other hungrier demographics. It's really in America's best interest to cripple the Chinese economy, as well as other big competitors coughEU which is where these policies are coming from. Otherwise you cant win against a relatively high tech country with a massive population being pushed through STEM and a heavy handed government that orchestrates a great deal of their technological pursuits for the purpose of strengthening the country so as to position it against global competitors, as opposed to say lining pockets or pandering to a base.
With the coming IBM transition, I'm expecting Red Hat itself to go into "Hard Maintenance Mode" fairly quickly. Another comment here estimates 10 years of RH support, but I'm confident that X.org will outlast RH.
it’s funny how most people forget that every single american president since georges bush junior has been elected on the promise of reducing us’s involvment into foreign countries ( i’m old enough to remember people accused him of being isolationist), but have all been prevented to so by external events.

With the rise of China and its exponential military spendings, do you think that decreasing us military budget would be a wise strategic move ?
'Simulation' has already been invented, and it pretty much exclusively refers to things that are not fundamental to how the universe works. So it would seem like the opposite of the closest word we have for describing how the universe fundamentally works.
