There should be a box you can tick as a YouTube creator for "monetized views only". Meaning, if this video gets demonetized, take it down while I dispute that, and show my viewers a notice instead.

This isn't a rights thing, it's just a sane business decision thing, to not alienate creators. Can you imagine if cable companies could just arbitrarily decide to "demonetize" a football game, and then show it for free with no ads?

Back with Multics, secretaries were given Emacs as editor, and they had access to a manual on writing lisp code for it... With no mention anywhere that it was programming in one of the most capable languages of the time (MACLISP on Multics).

In short time, many secretaries that honestly believed that "programming wasn't for them and was too hard" had written lots and lots of automation for their daily tasks. Cava was their Hypercard.

I wonder if you or the grandparent happen to know of some convincing evidence of this that I'm not aware of?

I often wonder when I read claims like this if they are fact-based, and to what degree (usually never mentioned), or if they might instead be examples of the propogation of memes, similar to those related to race.

I am personally wary of folks with PhDs. It's certainly not a reason to reject an application, but I don't really consider a positive, either (for a general software engineer - if I need a systems engineer and you've been doing systems engineering research, then different story).

It's just a completely different way of thinking about problems and I have had trouble with folks who weren't able to change their mode of thinking. If I was hiring a researcher, I wouldn't consider 5 years of coding at tiny startups to be an advantage. It's really the same thing - demonstrated skills at a related, but somewhat different enterprise.
Tcl/Tk is listed below by others, but it’s worth noting that both Richard Hipp (SQLite) and Antirez (redis) are (or were) very deeply involved with Tcl.

I also second the praise below of John Ousterhout’s (inventor of Tcl/Tk) book “A Philosophy of Software Design”.

Unikernels are mostly a mirage these days. I also have serious security concerns about the entire OS being in one address space.
I wonder if these are pure hardware switches, like in distinct on/off positions where the off position is wired directly to the sensor's power or similar, or more like buttons with software behind them which then does whatever action (and hence can be changed)?
This proposal is by one of the core Go maintainers, and the others have never come out against generics just expressed their concerns about how to implement them in Go while maintaining compile and execution speed. It's a bit over the top to suggest that they quit using Go just because you disagree with them.

I primarily program in Go. While I think often HN makes too big a deal of Go's support for generic types currently being (more or less) limited to slices, maps, and channels (those go pretty far for a lot of programs, especially when combined with interfaces), I don't get the passionate anti-generics attitude this post seems to have attracted either. I'm wary of architecture astronauts just like everyone else, but I think at least the Go team could probably use generics judiciously in the standard library in way that would benefit most programs (like using sync.Map without casting to interface{}, or doing math on float32 without needing to do float32(math.Sin(float32(x))), etc).

Lineage dropped support for a LOT of phones in the last 6 months.

When you show up, looking to do the legwork for a specific model, the community directs you to the donate button instead...

If Librem can keep their repos current? Im down to switch from a Lineage-deprecated phone.

Besides, a phone running a kernel that isn't 3 years old and terribly out of date? Vulnerable to Spectre, Rowhammer, and a host of other script-kiddie-hackable holes? So what if its "mine" for $200 less when it isnt mine and patched?

Apple did one thing well with iPhone that Android didnt - they kept themselves as a single point of accountability for how the phone runs, how it updates, how security patches get distributed.

A FLOSS phone needs to mimick that success.

I don’t understand how this could be misunderstood by someone reading in good faith. I think that, if a reader remarks “this is confusing because…”, you shouldn’t tell them they’re wrong and it’s not confusing.

When I pre-ordered the phone, I also saw it as donating to (or at least contributing to the development of) open-source software in a way -- Purism is a for-profit company, but they've been doing a lot of software work on this phone and they've been pushing the changes upstream, too. I highly recommend looking through their blog (https://puri.sm/posts/), especially the Librem 5 [month] Software Update posts for the work they're doing.
Let us examine premise 2: Something does not exist. How can it then cause itself to exist?

I would love to hear how you think this is not logical.

> How is anything caused, what does it mean for a cause to not exist, what hardware does God run on and so on?

You were caused by your parents, they were caused by your grandparents. Before you existed your parents needed to exist. When your parents did not exist, neither did you.

That's one way (though not the only way) "for a cause to not exist". (Called per accidens sequences by Aquinas/Aristotle.)

The thing that we call "God" runs on no hardware, but is the hardware that everything else is built on. Strictly speaking, in the (Catholic) Christian thinking, God is not a thing or a being (not even the Supreme Being), but rather Being Itself: God is the act of to be itself.

Good find. I was looking for this article on STR (Sariska). It's indeed unfortunate what had happened in Sariska, but I am glad corrective measures were taken.
Very few visit youtube for studio content unless you are counting clips of shows uploaded by fans. Probably the same percentage that buy playboy for the articles.

If youtube suddenly stopped supporting user content we would see youtube shutdown like google+.

There are enough places for studios to provide content and many more streaming options coming your way shortly.

Now if youtube decided to copy netflix and started pouring in billions for new self produced content yearly that might be an option.

It's too late. Solar and wind have the popularity and the momentum. They won. The base cost to solar is also much, much cheaper than nuclear, making it easier to practically implement. And solar/wind is a better long term solution anyway in that we don't have to worry about waste management, safety, maintenance, etc. It can also be extremely decentralized.

The risk of cycling depends on many different factors and is not simply described as "way more risky than using a car".

Per distance, the average cyclist has more risk than the average driver. However, that's just the base rate, and is not destiny. Combine that with the fact that cyclists tend to travel much shorter distances than drivers. So much shorter that based on distance alone I've seen some cyclists argue, with statistics for average cyclists no less, that they actually face less risk on the road than many drivers. You don't see drivers with long commutes getting warned about the danger, but if people treated driving the same as cycling you would.

There are many things cyclists can do to reduce their risk per mile. As I recall, the majority of cyclist deaths involve riding after midnight or riding when drunk. If you don't do either then your risk is a lot lower. I've been riding for over a decade now and recognize the importance of where you live, infrastructure, defensive cycling, visibility gear (lights, vest, reflectors, etc.), and even a simple air horn.

Also recognize that cycling gets safer every year on average, even in the US. At some point I looked at the data and recognized that the cyclist mortality rate in the US is decreasing roughly linearly. If the linear trend continues then there will be roughly zero cyclist fatalities in 2050. Of course, it's more likely to taper off. But I never see the fact that cycling is becoming safer every year mentioned by its detractors.

Brief discussion of the data here:

https://predictionbook.com/predictions/133189

With all of this being said, yes, I do believe that cycling is more risky than I'd like. The reason why appears to be that the majority of road users (mostly drivers) do not take safety seriously. In my experience the road users who take safety the most seriously tend to be either cyclists or motorcyclists. No surprise why.
How do you intend to enact your vision for legalizing construction of new apartments anywhere in SF?
The breakup has been on going for about 7 years now. As the article says, the old way of buying diamonds was a take it or leave it proposition. About 7 years ago though, some of the smaller players in the field (Dominion, Rio Tinto, Okavango) decided to start auctioning their rough stone every couple of months. They invited dozens, up to 100 bidders for each auction. This was the first time buyers could get a real market price for the rough stone, and there were no repercussionsn if they were outbid. It’s become the industry practice now to sell a portion of the rough using auction software and using that market price to set the prices for these sight holders, who still buy a large proportion of the rough. Even DeBeers and Alrosa use auctions to set prices. The sales of diamonds has changed more in the last decade than it did the previous 100. (Disclosure, my company supplies software for these auctions).
I much prefer my traffic-free 0.9 mile commute. Previous jobs have been 4.5, 10.5, 4.3, 4.4, and 8.7 miles.

My secret is very small cities. They generally have suburban density, but aren't technically suburban because there isn't a rush-hour commute to a larger city. These places are also affordable. For example, median houses (typically about 1500 square feet on 0.25 acre) go for about $150,000 in Melbourne, FL.

That 40 mile commute is definitely a choice.

I'd guess that kind of thinking is reasonably common - anecdotally, my girlfriend and I are both in our early 20s and have been dating long enough that we've started discussing marriage. In one of our earlier discussions about it, I told her she shouldn't expect a mined diamond, because I'm morally opposed to the business and mining practices employed by diamond companies. She added the possibility of getting a recycled gemstone (which I didn't know about before!), agreeing that she wouldn't want a newly-mined stone.

I wonder if you could get prosecuted or investigated for things you admit to during the interview. I also wonder if there's any sort of legal privacy requirement that stops the examiner or someone else with records access from spreading around information related to your examination.

This is really bike-shed-y, but:

I'm disappointed they didn't go with «» or similar to set apart type parameters. The answer in the doc is that they "couldn't bring ourselves to require non-ascii", but there's an easy way to handle this without _requiring_ non-ascii characters: let "(type …)" and "«…»" be syntactically identical, and have gofmt change the former to the latter. Basically everyone uses gofmt all the time, so all the code everyone reads would use the more visually distinctive syntax, but it would be easy to type using ascii only.
Also consider that all we know is a world that has become more global, open, and relatively peaceful post 1970s. If collaboration were to slow or decline, open-source would be harmed. And/or if Google and Facebook lose its dynamism from politics, regulation, and maturity, corporate sponsored open-source could be shaken. Google could become like AT&T and Facebook like Ericsson or something in some way.

Once unstoppable sectors, like aerospace (to mix comparisons) began to reverse and decline in the early 70s. No one really saw it coming. I can't think if one publicly known or credible person called it in 1969 shortly after the moon landing, at least on record. Oversupply of engineers in the US and the West became a thing. And engineering still suffers here because of aerospace's decline. Forth began to lose steam around then, right? Forth, hardware and Cold War (barriers) politics are inextricably linked, perhaps. And then GNU/Linux and BSD saw its high-collaboration paradigm birthed around that time. Nixon/Kissenger talks with closed China began around then too, and now relations are breaking down with a more open China today.

Look how Lua scripting came about not terribly so long ago. Some parallels. Brazilian trade barriers. Now half believe Huawei is evil. Cross-hardware story may be cracking. Many believe Google is evil. Open software may be cracking. And there are rifts between US, EU, and China on how to regulate the internet. A new Cold War may be brewing. It's a nerds nightmare.

If anyone can tie in distributed ledger and specialized AI coder
productivity tools, or something to counter this argument or round it out, that would be awesome.

EDIT: I was mistaken. Forth caught on with personal computer hobbyists in the 1980s, per Wikipedia. However, as a career or industry,slow downs with NASA and Cold War spending seemed to take some wind out of Forth's sails. I've noted that lot of that type of work was what paid people to write Forth. And the open-source paradigm with C/C++ and GNU Linux was even more limiting, I believe.

> We show that ‘TC–heat’ events are already possible along densely populated coastlines globally but, to date, only an estimated 1,000 people have been impacted. However, this number could rise markedly with over two million at risk under a storyline of the observed TCs recurring in a world 2 °C warmer than pre-industrial times. Using analogues as focusing events we show, for example, that if the catastrophic 1991 Bangladesh cyclone occurred with 2 °C global warming, there would be >70% chance of subsequent dangerous heat. This research highlights a gap in adaptation planning and a need to prepare for an emerging TC–heat compound hazard.

The British government created some tax credits and a company legally took advantage of them. It's a none story and just the Guardian baiting.

An actual interesting article would be on the tax credits themselves and if they were a good idea. It seemed to me, as someone who worked in the games industry, they were a good idea but came 5-10 years too late as by the time they were available the majority the UK's triple A game industry had collapsed and large amounts talent was brain drained off mostly to Canada but also Europe and America.

Maybe 30% of the people I started with no longer work in UK and haven't for years. And I was the same I've only recently come back (terrible timing on my part considering what's happening in the UK at the macro level but that's a different story!). In fact one of my coworkers who _did_ stay works at Rockstar North on the GTA titles.

Canada had a tax credit scheme for games companies that the UK was unable to react effectively to. Again an actual interesting article might ask if UK games companies collapsed due to inability to react to the market or because they moved, or couldn't compete internationally for talent due to other countries having better tax environments.
I can sort of see a genie analogy here.
