> Nobody reads JP to become a better person, they do it to feel better about being a shit person

Without wishing to get into yet another discussion about Peterson, I think that's a pretty textbook example of an intellectually dishonest attempt to simply pigeonhole someone you probably don't know all that much about into the "enemies" basket.

I've read and listened to JP to some extent - believe it or not, yes, as part as some kind of greater effort to better myself, as is much of my reading. I agree with some of what he thinks, and disagree with others, but I don't regret the time spent. If that makes me a "shit person" then frankly I think it's your worldview that is the problematic one.
Sure. But if your plan is to do all the work by yourself, for the benefit of companies who aren't contributing much beyond occasional bug fixes, then you will eventually burn out like Mike Pall did. There won't necessarily be another sucker to take your place.

For the project to have a healthy future you really need a community of user-developers who are supported by multiple organizations and cooperating and coordinating with each other. LuaJIT doesn't currently have such a community and bootstrapping one is a doosey.
This looks interesting.

Also there are ways to talk back and forth with Electron for front end.

Full disclosure, have not tried either but just looking around as I get into Go.

I do a lot of web dev so like idea of HTML/JS for front end. I know I know, Electron is awful but maybe less awful if it's light?
Second option bias is a real thing. People are often quick to criticize the mainstream but then fail to apply the same skepticism to the ideas that follow. There is tremendous risk in unexamined skepticism.
Does the website say whether it can be used for backup to S3/Azure/GCP/etc? I looked and couldn't find either yes or no.
You shouldn’t need a law to tell you the “sharing the names of activists with police when they haven’t committed any crimes” is wrong.
At pretty much every point in time prior to today, in essentially every field, a large portion of the broad academic consensus was either flat-out wrong or missing a large amount of vital nuance, and eventually a fringe idea developed prominence and replaced it to make academic consensus closer to the truth (we hope).

We'd be daft to think the same is not true today. It is very likely that there is some fringe position right now that is far more accurate than whatever passes as consensus, but we may not find that out for some time still.

Don't get me wrong; the majority of fringe positions are even wronger still. Ideally, we should have fringe positions branching out from consensus in every direction, serving as the filopodia of academic thought.
Su95 sukhoi superjet also uses western avionics and is 50% owned by a western company and is competitive with comparable western models. It's still very much a failure though mostly because of supply chain economics
>For any given matter of fact there is only one truth and unlimited falsehoods

For simple things, yes. For most debated things in society, no. Or at least, not in any knowable fashion. Whether a single payer system is better than a private insurance system is not something you'll ever reduce to a fact, because of the sheer number of variables, and even more importantly, because the notion of "better" is nebulous.

And as someone else has already commented, mainstream opinions on the same topic can differ widely from society to society (healthcare, public vs private services, etc). As someone who has lived in fairly disparate societies, that alone is reason enough for me not to put too high a value on mainstream positions in any society, since I know that if I did, I will often be "wrong".

And then there is the reality that there have always been mainstream views that conflict with science.

Not to take away from your wider point. Yes, I agree that one needs to have fairly good analytical abilities, and the average person often goes wrong when straying from the mainstream because it's easy to fall into "local" logical traps. However, I do think that at times one recognizes the mainstream to be one of those logical traps. In my experience, both elegant and simple ideas have a way of gaining hold in society - particularly in philosophy (think Kant's Categorical Imperative, or the Golden Rule), but reality rarely yields to simplicity and elegance.
Ask HN: Companies That Recently IPO'd (Uber, Lyft, Zoom, etc.)?
I have a question for any HNers who work at companies that recently IPO'd this year -- such as Uber, Lyft, Zoom, etc.

Would you be able to share how much you made from the IPO? Could you also share when you joined the company, and your career path that got you to that stage?
> So your best bet is to commit now to switching, entirely, to Wayland. The aim is to get everyone off of X altogether as quickly as possible, and then stop shipping X (including XWayland) altogether.

Ah, it is the "32bit isn't needed anymore" all over again. Yeah, this will happen around the same time you wont need to ship 32bit support on Linux :-)
>Nobody reads JP to become a better person, they do it to feel better about being a shit person.

Isn't that the case for any other pseudo-profound pop-philosophy as well, not just JP?

And isn't JP so popular exactly because the more mainstream academic trend is so laughable?
I mean it's not that absurd that Perl 6 the language the defined independently of any particular implementation of it. Perl 6 seems unique (in a good way) that the language isn't defined by "whatever the reference compiler does" but by "this known fixed suite of tests."
>"There are several reasons why a request might be objectionable, but I don't see any of those reasons being seriously and credibly alleged"

KCL itself concluded that it was disproportionate and a breach of privacy. It is not only alleged; it is the result of an independent report commissioned by one of the two culpable institutions!

>"Police routinely ask questions of and about people who are not suspected of a crime in the process of investigating a crime."

KCL shared the names of protestors who they feared might disrupt a visit from the Queen. They did not share them pursuant to the investigation of some further crime. The report suggests that KCL had no evidence that the students would disrupt the visit, other than the fact that they had been part of past protests. Given that fact, the violation of the student's privacy appears entirely disproportionate, and an improper and wasteful use of police resources.
>PRs and public ownership of future project direction.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cathedral_and_the_Bazaar

That's kind of the point of open-source, public ownership. Sure, you need someone to be in charge and reject outright bad ideas, but when you're refusing to add options that support other people's personal preferences that's when it's starting to become a problem.

It's all these authoritarians that think they need to own the direction of the project that are causing these issues. I'm sure dirty info-hippies who believe in communal project ownership have their own problems too, and that there's a balance, but it seems like we've over-swung.
Yeah, the term to search for is "configuration ring". It's the big shift register of most of the stuff you need to baby sit in order to bring up the Cell.
Well it would be for sheet music, so ideally it would be in the 6"+ range. The bigger the better. Really just depends on cost - I don't want to spend more than a couple hundred bucks (otherwise I would just buy the PadMu 2)

Could I get more info on the "wHAT"? I tried googling for it, but there are a ton of false positives (due to "wHAT" being the same word as "what").
> My concern at the moment with Wayland (and Systemd, Pulseaudio, DBus and a few others) is that Linux is loosing modularity.

I don't have any of those things on the system I'm using to type this. It is BSD not Linux though.
HiDPI. It's somewhat unusual for a top end laptop to have 1920x1080 screens these days, and Wayland doesn't support 4k very well. You can upscale, but it looks like garbage, or it has a 2x mode, which draws image and such slightly too large, or you can deal with everything being tiny.

For gaming, the latency is bad and always on vsync is horrible. They've fixed the 60Hz lock though, fortunately. This only applies to gaming though.

My primary issue with Wayland isn't quite so much that it lacks these things, it's that they seem to be of the opinion that there's only one way to do things, and any other use of the visual display system is wrong. I just have this weirdly oppressive feeling about my inability to configure it the way I want it, the same feeling I get from using Windows. Just... let me be me. I get that this is a non-technical complaint, and that it ultimately boils down to "it gives me the heebie jeebies" which isn't an argument, but it's still how I feel about it.
The other issue is if the US government doesn't want people using Huawei devices, they're probably not going to like people buying Chinese planes.
Depending on your area of expertise you may need different languages. Like, Greek if you go into medicine.

Perl6 was a reaction to Perl5's loss of mindshare, but it took a very long time to arrive and still cannot be used as a drop-in replacement for the latter. It has rather different strengths and weaknesses and thus has to find a new niche to live in.
This is the part i find interesting, IF waterfox has greater privacy by design, then what has mozilla been doing since version 57? Im also thinking that even if its a clone its not the same application so higher version numbers for uptodate firefox may not correlate to reduced qualities for an application with lower uptodate version numbers.
Google is a cancer/advertising company. Why would you use them for storage for a supposedly privacy-friendly social network?
Yet here they had no crime to have evidence about, the only “evidence” of involvement was that they were activists.

Much like “we gave a list of campus civil rights activists to the police because we don’t like protests” was also wrong (and illegal).

Protests are not illegal, not even in the fairly authoritarian British legal system.

There was that Bombardier C-Series that was competing with the low end of the 737 market, but Boeing fought so hard against it with the USITC that they were forced to basically hand it off to Airbus.

And note IAG currently has a lot of A320s and no 737s: getting the IAG order would be a big deal, but it could equally just be IAG trying to get into a stronger negotiating position with Airbus.
To comment on a tangential issue...

> there was over 300 years (3 centuries) of higher education among the groups

I don't think simply adding up the total number of years of education is meaningful. Most of that education is redundant. If it were humanly possible I'd be more impressed by 300 years of education for a single person as it wouldn't have the same amount of redundancy.

You'll see this cumulative strategy appear in other areas as well, e.g., "our lawyers have 200 years of experience!"

I've heard Idempotency confused with Consistency. Idempotency is where a function f can be applied (as a composition) multiple times and it gives the same result, so Idempotency: f(f(x)) = f(x). Whereas Consistency: f(x) = f(x) = f(x). An example of an idempotent function f is RaiseToThePowerZero(x) on x > 0. We usually take consistency for granted, so it's perhaps better to think of an example of a non-consistent function f which would be RandomNumberGenerator().

This was one of the big complaints when there was a push for a diversity center at Clemson a couple of years ago.

"echo -n " is useless, is sufficient:

> example.txt

without prepending the echo command. This will create an empty file or it will truncate an existent file. The touch command could be preferable to preserve the content, if needed.
Summary:

Readable is a lisp plugin which allows you to drop superfluous braces and use function and infix notation:

(define (factorial n)
(if (<= n 1)
1
(* n (factorial (- n 1)))))

can now be written as

define factorial(n)
if {n <= 1}
1
{n * factorial{n - 1}}

One more proof that the original lisp is a god like language. And now even beautiful to look at.
I can see that. Inky what would get you there.

Thank you. I had to look up “NG MY” conference, so, no not coming for Angular conference.
I think you're misunderstanding the way the term side effect is being used in this context. A side effect can refer to any impacts on a system that happen outside of the scope of the code itself. In this case, the primary intended effect of "touch" is to initiate the side effect of modifying file access and modification times.

I grepped wlroots for "nvidia" and got no hits.
My part of political science has been (attempting to) follow scientific method since the 1940s. Its results have been... underwhelming. The main reason for this, bluntly, is that people are really damned complicated. They're difficult to model, they behave irrationally, even a minimal model has way too many variables. Hell, they don't even vote using the same heuristics that they did 50 years ago. There's a reason why abstract social science (like model-based economics) can look like it has little connection to reality, while the less abstract you get then the woolier and less scientifically satisfying it generally becomes. It's because getting crisp, reproducible, cumulative, results is extraordinarily hard.

Faced with that, you have two choices: keep trying to get better at what we're doing, or decide that these questions aren't worth answering (or that it isn't possible to). I think that better understanding the behaviour of people collectively organising themselves is vital, so I pursue the first. But I have sympathy with those that would prefer to work on something else.
Better examples: Write("filename", position, data) is idempotent; Append(handle, data) is not.
> GNOME and I'm pretty sure KDE too

Yeah, that is the problem with Wayland: the solution to many missing features you get out of the box with X largely depends on the environment you are using.
Perfect example. However:

I'm not trying to argue against search, I'm arguing against everyone having to rely on search because ux designers decided to remove every other way of finding files because someone might someday forget to tag the file or whatever the procedure is.
It's true that "code and data have an identical representation" but the important point is that neither of those things is a string. Strings are simply one presentation of code and data, but they're not what Lisp uses internally. In most languages, this distinction is not important, but it's critical for Lisp. If SWE had caught up with Lisp, git for example would be able to produce differences in function definitions, rather than merely in the strings in files that represent those function definitions. That would make git a lot more useful to a Lisp programmer.
Yes, thanks. I didn't click because the title didn't make sense, finally checked it out after the update.
> Perhaps. But this is the same tired old argument that ignores the existence of any other init/daemon-manager aside from systemd.

Do you mean openRC, s6 etc? They still all use bash scripts, (which as a result depend on the dev for quality and can vary quite a bit) vs systemd's clear, uniform service definitions. They don't provide much beyond starting services and are more like wrappers around sysvinit than anything else.

> my runit systems all behave themselves; my systemd systems frequently hang on reboot

Every time I've seen this in practice it turned out the system was actually not configured properly, (usually crypttab or something related), and systemd has a default 90s timer to try to wait for everything to dismount, shut down properly vs other init systems just yank the cord, but it seems faster, so I guess it's 'better', (in which case you can just shorten the systemd timer to like 1s and it would be even faster doing that - look for 'DefaultTimeoutStopSec' in /etc/systemd/system.conf).
I would love to use Wayland, currently I only use it to watch movies without tearing. Anecdotally, everything feels brittle when using Wayland, applications crash... I really hope it matures.
With that mentality I doubt that you speak a foreign language. If that's the case, of course you think that everything "important" is translated for you already - it's not going to show up on Google if you don't search it in its published language. Considering your tone I doubt I can convince you, so all I will say is that you don't know what you're missing.
> and an application server (tomcat, etc.)

And this is way, way too much.

I will need a reverse proxy (nginx/traefik) anyway for non-Java services. Just give me an application that simply listen on a TCP socket (or better yet on an Unix socket) instead of that redundant intermediary that is a configuration/deployment nightmare.

> It's not naive to try and optimize learning to help maximize a fulfilling life. The time in life to learn is finite and therefore choices have to be made.

There's lots of enjoyment to be had in learning things that aren't immediately (or even remotely) useful, and there's often a lot of unanticipated utility in learning things that are pursued for pure enjoyment. There are entire fields in mathematics that were/are pursued for personal enjoyment and later proved to be incredibly useful (or might never be!).

> Not every subject has equal importance. It would also be naive to think every subject or skill has equal relevance to a particular person's life and therefore one can just choose randomly.

I'm not saying you need to choose your pursuits randomly or without account of the time they take, but I think making these choices only for monetary gain or purely on some basis of what utility you think they'll provide is a pretty joyless existence in either case, and w/ the latter consideration is a pretty naive accounting of your ability to meaningful assess an "opportunity cost". Leisure activity, learning for learning's sake, broadening your cultural horizons, etc. are all worthwhile things in my book.

If you're talking about opportunity cost in a fuzzy "there are other things I'd rather learn, or some particular thing seems more useful to me now" kind of way, that's a goofy metaphor and an unhelpful insight in the context of offering advice about what things to learn.

> (I learned that lesson very late in life. In my 20s, I was very careless and carefree about what I learned and I squandered away a lot of valuable years. I wasn't discriminating enough about the topics I spent time on.)

Without any context into what you think was squandered by learning other things, it's impossible for me to appreciate your POV on this, but it seems unlikely to me that you lost all that much.

That is just great to hear.

"A two-front solution could be really great. We need developers to write their best resumes, and we need employers to write their best job descriptions. Having them 'speak the same language' on concise accomplishments, metrics, technologies will make more automated matching a lot (a lot) easier." - 100%! This is the market place that Linkedin has been trying to create - but hasn't worked very well, right? They have largely solved the problem of structuring the resume data - which is definitely useful, but I don't see much of that on the job description side. The matching algorithms can only rise up to the level of quality of the input data - the resume data, and the job description.

There are similar problems in the dating industry, but mostly you can be sure both parties are putting their best efforts for creating better input.

I think honesty is also a critical part of the equation. And if the Linkedin or indeed could encourage both sides to reveal what they value deeply - that would things more useful. May be a few why questions rather than just checkboxes and drop downs that can be filled quickly. Candidate: Why is remote working important for you? Job poster: Why is a self-starter important for you? That would help bring out the uniqueness for the candidates and helped the matching algorithms.

Will look forward to seeing your product on Show HN - best wishes!
