It is less popular than it used to be (especially among young Trump supporters), but support for harsh incarceration policies based on drugs is pretty much exclusively a right-wing thing. If it didn't have substantial support from the right it really wouldn't be a thing any longer. I will say, to Trump's credit, he has been pretty decent on this issue compared to his conservative predecessors.
I think you're right, but that the tone I read in your words would prevent people from improving.

Rather than "I'm so clever" it is more "this isn't complicated". One can argue they mean the same thing, but I'd say they mean different things if comparing to an outside scale. The solution to thinking you're so clever is to reduce your arrogance, but the solution to thinking problems are simple is to stop assuming any problem is simple.
Those nanometers are not just numbers. TSMC 7nm is ahead of Intel's 14nm. It's not really surprising. Even if AMD can't catch up with frequencies, they have more transistors, so they can increase many things. Better comparison would be with 10nm Intel, but Intel failed there, so I expect AMD to lead until Intel will release mainstream 7nm CPUs.
If wayland gets abandoned it will have to be re-invented. It solves real problems with X11. That doesn't mean Wayland itself doesn't have problems though. Over time they will get solved. If people or companies need them to get solved sooner I m sure Wayland devs will welcome any contributions.

Agreed, the authors personal ability to make the phrases was not quite right.

They also confuse the ability to have these attacked nouns, with the idea that they are equivalent to other sentences in meaning. I think it becomes clear things like

Maybe I'm too tired to pick up on the satire, but this is just needlessly pedantic and does nothing to contribute to the conversation.

I see a series of people pointing something out to you, and you continually pushing back on why they are wrong. I guess the question to ask is how are you so sure you're right when everyone else is telling you that you're wrong?

Something that has gone a long way for me to better myself throughout my life is to recognize that when everyone is telling me I'm wrong, it's almost certain they are right and I am the one who needs to change. And if I still think I'm right, I should be able to communicate it effectively enough that others will agree with me. If not, then it literally is me against the world and even if I'm right what fucking good is that?

I know that there are architectural trick to improve the heat management, for example i plan to plant a tree which will grow big enough to make shade on my window during summer.

But personally, I did not see yet an old building in Europe which is both warm in winter and cold in summer jusy by itself. The new insulation materials are really good now, there is no comparison with old techniques. My parents house is 200 years old, made of a wooden frame and brick. It is incredibly cold in winter, so cold that we need to burn wood as central heating is not powerful enough.

Reddit is mainstream, and a part of HN culture defines itself as a bit elitist and anti-mainstream. Such people will often describe Reddit (and other forms of social media) as a cesspool of memes and low-quality content, and will sometimes accuse HN of "turning into Reddit" whenever they see a post or comment they deem of insufficient quality. That's common enough that it used to be mentioned in the guidelines as a "semi-noob delusion" to be avoided.

I think it's a mistake to compare HN to Reddit, however since HN is a single forum and Reddit, really, is a network of forums. There are subreddits with lower standards than here, but there are others with higher standards.

However, a lot of HN users also use Reddit (including, I suspect, a fair contingent of the "hipsters" I just mentioned) and they will have platform specific complaints, such as hating the new layout (which is objectively terrible) or this and that subreddit being banned or quarantined because the mods are out to censor this or that political group, etc. That's just Reddit drama spilling over to here, though.

Of course, YMMV. There's a lot of pro-Reddit sentiment as well, and people mention subreddits they frequent. And a lot of content from programming subreddits gets cross-posted here.
I wouldn't use "now" for preview builds, but more or less yes.
I don't disagree with anything in that article, but Jony Ive's legacy is not merely the iPhone, the Watch, and the most recent MacBook Pros. It's also the iMac, the PowerMac G5, the Wall Street PowerBook, the unibody MacBook Pro--I can go on. And don't forget that Steve Jobs hated that there were screws on the Apple II and Macintosh--he wanted the devices to be appliances you sell when you're done with, and buy a new one. And another point: Phones and computers were plastic before Jobs and Ive. Now they're the strongest glass, and aluminum and steel. Those are improvements both to reliability and repairability.

The article may be justified in saying that Ive's most recent products form his legacy, but I remember much more when I think about Apple.
>Microsoft did not grow big, because millions of home users decided to buy DOS/Windows as they considered the best choice.

Yes, things don't get popular primarily because they're the best in class. They get popular because of a variety of factors. That applies to all tech products that are popular - Photoshop, oracle, mysql, windows, macOS, Linux, iphones, android phones, etc, etc, etc. MS, like every other company started at 0% market share. People chose to use their products because they provided some value to them. If you don't think people bought MS products because they were good, thats OK, you can have that opinion. Whether or not MS software is shitty has no real bearing on my point here.

>And that's how piracy helped MS, children playing with computer games arrived in the work market with familiarity with MS products, which kept the companies using and buying those products.

Without any numbers or data, I will just have to accept your argument at face value. I'd love to see verified stats of sales versus users/installations. Will be easy to confirm exactly how much of an effect it had...
Bullshit. Jobs had no vendetta against ports. Macs and macbook pro back in those days had all the ports.
Fair enough. Thank you for taking the time to explain that to me when it was my fault for not understanding the tests (or really the test conditions).
Possibly through a ROP chain. Abusing VLC's code itself. You don't need memory that's writeable and executable for that. Check the Wikipedia link in my comment about ROP exploits.
This is true but VNC doesn't exactly win any awards in the performance department in general. Sending bitmap diffs is pretty much the least efficient most naive way to do remote desktop. What VNC has going for it is that it's dead simple to implement because of that fact.

X forwarding goes the complete opposite direction to pipes the whole X protocol over the network. Convenient -- yes, also dead simple to implement -- yes, actually works -- well no. You see the X ecosystem also assumes all rendering is local, that fact is just hidden in edge cases. For example Nvidia graphics work on X with an extension that both has a client and server component -- as soon as you forward X traffic that's looking for the server-side extension... crash.

RDP by contrast does the right thing(tm) but also the hard thing by defining an intermediate object model which is semantic enough to kill the need to send pixels over the wire most of the time but flexible enough to allow for it when necessary.

This is a variant on the scam of making a local locksmith or tow link, SEOing it to the top of of Google's results, and then charging a fee and outsourcing the work. The web was supposed to be a disintermediating force but it's just as much been an opportunity for gratuitous toll-collectors.

Google appears to profit from this so apparently makes no effort to prevent this. It's been going on for years: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/31/business/fake-online-lock...
It's possible for Americans to do the correct vowels, though. We have most of them elsewhere in the language. I started learning Romance languages fairly young and at my peak fluency [a little rusty these days] I had people telling me I sounded near-native in Spanish.

Personally the thing that bothers me most about American accents with these languages is failure to make diphthongs out of adjacent vowels. An American accent will stretch a Romance diphthong out into lengthy syllables. For example in this audio link above, the speaker says hodie has "HOE-dee-ay". I speculate someone more used to speaking a Romance language would say /'hodje/, two syllables. (I note English wiktionary has it as 3 syllables. Not sure what an ancient Roman would do.)

In any case I think a lot of the confusion is orthographic in nature. An English speaker is used to an <e> being /i/. It's not that they can't do an /e/ sound if they tried. A lot of people in the US also have very little real exposure, eg. we have language classes in school where making a real attempt to drop our accents and interact on a level plane with natives is never even seriously considered, it's just a place to hold you in a desk and fill out worksheets.
> Still, for the 787, HCL gave Boeing a remarkable price – free, according to Sam Swaro, an associate vice president who pitched HCL’s services at a San Diego conference sponsored by Avionics International magazine in June. He said the company took no up-front payments on the 787 and only started collecting payments based on sales years later, an “innovative business model” he offered to extend to others in the industry.
hmm I wonder if it also applies in the other direction where the sun doesn't rise for a part of the year as well
> IP protection in china is non existing which anyone who even done a little business in china knows very well.

Rather than going back and forth with "Yes it is," "No it isn't," I'll provide some hard facts here.

China has been ramping up IP enforcement over the past five years or so. In 2014, China began establishing specialized IP courts in major cities, and over time, more and more have been created. These courts have been hearing a rapidly expanding number of cases. The number of IP disputes heard in Chinese courts has increased by 30-40% every year for the past few years. Last year, Chinese courts heard nearly 300,000 IP disputes. 10% of patent cases in China are brought by foreign companies, and they win 70% of cases.

There have been problems with the Chinese court system when it comes to IP. The penalties for IP infringement have historically been low, but they have been increasing. Evidence discovery has been difficult, but new procedures have been introduced to enable it. Foreign companies have felt that local companies are favored, but the central government has been pushing for stronger enforcement of foreign companies' rights, and the statistics show that foreign companies are now as successful as Chinese companies in their cases.

In light of all this, I think it's fair to say that the picture you're painting is crude. China is actually becoming one of the most active venues for IP litigation in the world, going just by the sheer volume of cases they handle now.

The existing Internet satelite are incredible expensive and not only the latency is really bad, but the bandwidth is also very limited, you can not consider it as a broadband ISP. Starlink will be a true alternative to the fiber optic ISPs, and for world-wide will be even faster thanks to the direct lasser link among the constellation.
X performs better than VNC for stuff like xscreensaver, but not usually for video or applications that do dumb stuff like cute animations of internal windows opening. VNC just drops out the frames and catches up. X tends to render to perfection each graphic context call.
I think it fits in with the general idea of factories where you work for a salary and the work product you produce isn’t something you can take away. The problem with words or code is they are easy to copy, so one could easily make a copy and take it away. I guess that’s why they make you sign away the copyright
QLC literally drops write endurance by an order of magnitude but most consumers won’t be hit by it. Most of the performance is from the SLC cache and it tanks once it gets full or with sustained usage.

I don't know whether you should leave or not, but when I see threads like this a lot of people bring up the opportunity cost like you have. Having stability, health insurance, etc are important, but at a certain point you have to come to terms with whether you're being risk averse, or just chasing some ideal of "success" for your ego. Life isn't the month you spend on some crazy vacation somewhere once a year, or sitting in traffic in your Maserati. It's what you spend your time doing every day.

It sounds like you want to take 6 months as a way to enjoy life before getting back to "the grind". Taking time off is good, but I'd think more about where you want to end up rather than just jumping back into the job market and trying to maximize your income again.

A Bug in Chrome 75 Caused Random Offline Pages
Having spent my entire career with one foot on the "legacy" side of things (mainframe-like systems) and the other on the Wintel side, I can tell you that I've had to deal with any number of problems on the Wintel side that generally just wouldn't happen - and indeed in many cases couldn't happen - on the legacy side.

As an example of how things are done on the legacy side, I was once dealing with a piece of Power hardware which could be configured as either a Linux system or an iSeries system. There was a USB port in the hardware which was enabled on Linux systems but disabled on iSeries systems, and AFAIK it couldn't be enabled, either. This puzzled me at first, until I found out how USB ports can be used to attack systems and then it made perfect sense - they had chosen to disable the USB port for security reasons.
Wayland is not a RH-only initiative. IIRC basically every commercially supported linux distro uses wayland by default now.

The person’s comment is a reasonable, if low effort, comment. The exchange is “companies go to stable countries”, “no they go wherever short term profit leads”, and the comment says “Apple is too big not to think of long term stability”.

Which is a point, even if it’s not substantiated. Even if it’s not true it’s a reasonable claim to reply with.

Your question is a problem because it’s a fake-innocent question, with a veiled accusation of Apple being a special case. You’re not engaging with whether Apple could move often, or does or doesn’t look at the long term, or is too big to ignore the long term, instead you’ve taken a straw man “Apple is special” - which was never claimed - and not even argued that either way, just tried to set some trap for the unwary.

A real fine that targets the company is not a deterrent. All the damages get to trickle down to employees, customers, partners, etc. The punishment has to be applied to the individual who knowingly broke the law. Taking a bad business decision is one thing, hiding behind corporate accountability after you falsified records to get that bonus should be punished with both prison time and fines.

Unfortunately part of that bonus probably went to "lobbying" so don't hold your breath for the moment when laws will be about actual justice.
I agree with the first response. Cloud is simpler to manage and lowers (typically) the cost to maintain infrastructure. There's the cost, them there's the total cost.
