I can confirm that and I'm there regularly for business.

I assume it's because it's pretty much the pearl of the region (Bavaria) and if you take this away there is not much left. Also the city is full of pretty rich people who tend to this kind of behaviour.

You see the same in people where the location of the city is similar like Warsaw in Poland for example being surrounded by backwater villages.

How to set up a custom proxy in Scrapy?
The term "esport ready" is a marketing gimmick in the first place. It has more to do with whether a game is fun to watch, not whether it is competitive enough.

To give an example, PUBG players complained that the game wasn't "esports ready" because it was in third person, and therefore not competitive enough. They argued that by making it an FPS, it would become a more competitive game, and therefore a better esport. Too bad Fortnite is third person and blew PUBG away as an esport anyway, because it's more fun to watch.

The point is, I can totally see winners and losers being predetermined, since the esports scene is really about marketing games and not about competition.

There’s a hit that comes from “frequency scaling” on avx512 and avx2 instructions on Intel (worse for 512), so a total of fewer instructions isn’t always worth it. IIRC, AMD doesn’t pay a cost for avx2, but I don’t know how it works.

It is pointed out right at the beginning of the wikipedia article that the country was already in a state of civil war.

Open Source Community Manager for Liquibase
Liquibase is looking to hire a community manager.
Your implication seems to be that we don't have that - I disagree. HN is full of folks with different backgrounds. One particular category of topics is moderated - politics. There's massive inclusion of different lived experiences etc. In other forums I've found political discussions to be particularly irrational. The topic is just so fundamentally emotional that folks lose objectivity.

You can't argue with results. The comments on this site are superb. I probably read the comments 3x more than I read the base articles. Take a look at the comments on MSNBC, Fox News, or even the Washington Post. It's shrill emotional blather.

How would you know if they removed icon for non-safe sites.
You wouldn't as there is no indication of that anywhere
(no http string in address, no icon indication).

This brings unnecessary bit of burden to user who would have to pause to make sure site is safe (bank, etc).

That is a bit like trying to strip 'not occupied sign from public toilet stall. Claiming that if its occupied appropriate sign will be displayed.

Say you want to use a stall and you couldn't see a sign if its free or not, that will give u a small pause before you 'try' one.
I agree with you, but this article certainly had plenty of bias
It's interesting to compare HN with attempts which claimed they were striving to create an inclusive space but which failed.

I'd encountered one such newly-launched site, heralded as "a kinder, gentler Reddit" in 2016. Not only did the site itself collapse and fail a year later, but it failed, in the extreme, to live up to its promise, in part through the user community (always a confounding factor) but also through exceedingly poor moderation both by volunteer user mods and the site's paid staff and management.

I'll note: I was largely in agreement with the site's stated principles and politics, and still found myself very much on the dark side of it. Contrast with HN where I consider myself frequently contrarian and yet reasonably well tolerated.

In writing on the experience I called out the contrast with HN specifically. In part:

The really striking thing for me is that a bastion of one representation of what Internet critics, erm, criticise, HN, is proving much more effective at accomplishing and embodying the goals which Imzy, a "kinder, gentler" place, has set out to achieve.

... with a longer discussion of the things that seem to work particularly well. See:

https://old.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/500ysb/the_imz...

I disagree with dang and sctb on occaision. I am disappointed that there are topics that HN doesn't seem able to discuss (and have called these out). I've been admonished a few times.

But on balance, the site works, and rewards time spent on it. And credit must go to dang and sctb.

Thanks, guys.
>>A CTO (or CIO, depending on the type of company)

I have seen companies that have both. Purposefully before Googling it myself;), my personal experience in such cases CIO would be more business oriented and have a more software/data oriented view; whereas a CTO would be more implementation, technology, infrastructure, enforcement of standards and policies orientation.

Edit, after Googling, other disagree with my experience:
CIO is for internal operations, CTO is for external business:

>You'd prefer the site take the more active role required to moderate based on content

No, the point was that bad content continually and consistently gets through moderation and community enforcement BECAUSE of the value of tone over content and sometimes this content is extremely hostile. It absolutely has nothing to do with civility. Civility and "tone" are not intertwined.

You can be completely uncivil without an aggressive or strident tone.

Moderation sets precedent. Moderator action typically only comes about when the community is offended in some way. Flagged posts never get corrected or vouched for despite the effort put into them if they go against a particular tone in the conversation or ideological perspective.

Some of these were even presented in the article as examples.

>rather than enforcing general civility?

This forum isn't civil. It's distilled.

I don't see how the issues were trumped up? And I don't see any foundation to the claim that the country was left in bloody civil war?

It seems to me that the expedition mainly succeeded because the country was already divided, and the British were able to barter cooperation from the vaious other fractions.
Plenty of folks consider HN to have devolved into complete and utter dogshit; there aren’t many memes but there is a pretty heavy whiff of the Californian ideology, and given the choice I’ll usually take the memes.

ACCC takes HealthEngine to court over misusing patient data
Running all of those Debloat scripts:

- Permanently disables Windows Defender (requires registry changes to re-enable).

- Breaks the browser choice window. Skype. Time sync.

- Disables services seemingly arbitrarily.

- Disables SmartScreen.

- Disables both automatic updates and the notification for manual updates.

- Sets mouse speed/sensitivity/smoothing/pointer settings(???).

- Disables accessibility features.

- Reverts the volume slider.

My point is, it isn't "debloat" it is a fully opinionated default state for Windows 10, completely arbitrary, likely inconvenient, and potentially dangerous (SmartScreen, Windows Update, etc). Windows may also fail to update after this due to ACL permissions set on some files/registry keys/directories to keep certain features broken.

I do not recommend anyone runs this.
You can't really blame the people. Especially if they arrive by train and end up in one of the worse (the worse?) parts of the city.
I'm surprised that the quality of HN hasn't fallen as drastically with user growth as much as other sites such as reddit. Thanks to the moderators for keeping HN great.
It's not great, not terrible.
The question is not whether Google is evil or not. They have a business model that is mostly legal (there are probably some corners where they do not fully comply with GDPR and national data protection and consumer protection laws in Europe). So I wouldn't care how they run their business. If I don't like them I don't do business with them. The problem is that they are a monopoly and it's hard to avoid them. I know what I am talking about, because I use a Google-free mobile phone (not Apple either). I cannot rent e-scooters (which doesn't bother me) and I might have difficulties to buy/have to pay higher prices for public transit tickets in many European cities (which sometimes does bother me).

The big failure is lack of antitrust enforcement. Google needs to be broken up like it happened to ATT in 1984.
Well, if it is off-topic, it doesn't belong at the top. But if it's thoughful, it should still be readable, so I sometimes upvote comments that deserve downvotes because I think it's been downvoted too much. It's fine if it lingers at the bottom, but if it's still thoughtful, it deserves to be readable.

Actual abuse, trolling, etc deserves to be downvoted into unreadability.
Hey HN, author here.

This post was the result of a small set of experiments that came out of the Paperspace Advanced Technologies Group. We've been working on some pretty ambitious research projects at the intersection of systems, ML, and HCI, and we were evaluating tools and libraries (i.e. Keras and Fast.ai) that would allow us to prototype concepts quickly. (More on our research approach and project structure coming soon). We found this interesting classification task and used it as a testbed for some small scale testing and the results were pretty cool!
I've been happily doing just this for a decade now, and haven't had any problems finding employment. People tend to focus on the absolute size of a community, but what really matters is the supply and demand ratio.

Sure, a mainstream language like Js will have a lot more jobs than Clojure, but it also has a huge pool of developers making it hard for any individual developer to stand out. Meanwhile, Clojure has a much smaller market, but a growing one meaning that the demand currently outpaces supply of Clojure developers making it much easier to actually get an interview. Another side effect of this is that companies tend to be a lot more open to remote work.
Why does it have to be "non-stale"? Is this need part of the "new is better" dopamine cycle?

It's enough to be valid, or thought provoking.
I think there's a balance to strike here. The fact that security researchers like the Project Zero people don't just publish exploit details and sample codes on day 1 suggests that it might not actually be in the best interest of users to do it. It may actually cause far more damage to the users than giving the manufacturers the standard time to patch. As a matter of fact every such disclosure made "irresponsibly/uncoordinated" on Twitter was universally condemned by security researchers and software providers alike.

Doing something "responsibly" isn't just the prerogative or duty of security researchers. It's a general term which means "putting thought into it".

There is a higher entry price than most other games of skill, yes.

However, "pay to win" is generally understood to mean that there are significant marginal returns to spending thousands of dollars past the entry price paid by the typical player. This isn't really true of Magic: the Gathering.
There are large, crappy parts of this job where the correct answer is to suck it up and keep going, because trying to find ways out of them is not going to be very fruitful. This is one of them.
"The runners need to go as fast to the coffeeshop as possible in the most stealthy way. If the police catch them, then they are in trouble. However, if they bring it into the coffeeshop, they are safe."

Is that really true? If the police wanted to, all they'd have to do is search any courier who comes in to the shop, or use video surveillance inside or outside the shop. There are infinite ways to try to crack down on sale and distribution, if they wanted to. But they don't seem to want to, and focus their resources on fighting "hard drugs" rather than cannabis.

On the other hand, some years back there was news that the conservative government was forcing the closure of a lot of coffeshops, and that there's been a backlash from the locals against drug tourists from other countries flooding their country, making a mess, getting in to fights, vomiting in their flowerpots, and just generally being annoying. They of course bring in lots of tourist revenue, but I guess the Dutch don't value that as much as they used to.

This is absolutely not true. The best postings on hacker news are cool technical stuff that doesn't have an ounce of political.

And yes, there are plenty of articles with a political lean but they are really the least interesting ones here because you can read those anywhere else.

Like 6 or 7 with no variance actually. Hence the strong statement.
I walk into a cannabis store near me and see young white people behind the counter, and I know the license holder is a wealthy white person (because it's public record). I know the company running the government website where I can buy online is owned and run by a bunch of rich white men (because it's a public company) and most its employees are well-educated, well-to-do white men because I know many of them personally. I know the government that owns the distribution and licensing channels and collects the excise taxes is mostly rich white men because I voted. I know the corporations that produce wholesale cannabis are owned and run by wealthy white men because I own stock and get the annual reports.

I see dealers in the local park. They don't tend to be wealthy white men, and they don't tend to be the people running the organized crime either. The organized crime will just move into more profitable areas like phishing scams and bond ratings agencies. It's the dealers on the street who suffer the most from the legalization of the recreational cannabis trade.

I definitely see legalization as best for society as a whole. I'm just uncomfortable with yet another way the cream floats to the top.
Reuven you helped to turn my Python game from about a 2 to an 8 just by being a LJ subscriber for a couple of years in your At the Forge series. You introduced me to Django which was my platform mainstay for years - I still even support some deployments today. Unfortunately my LJ stash was lost in one of the many moves in my 20s but I do recall fondly looking forward to your articles as well as those by Dave Phillips. Hope you maintain a great presence on the web and keep up the good work.

Because software engineers want “growth”, and for most of them growth means learning/creating new technical things, and learning/creating technical things means more complexity.

There are other reasons, but that is a huge one.
We do have a duty to consider the ethical ramifications of what we're building.

But I won't spend hours of engineering time building a share button system because there's other priorities. Say spending that time building a "delete account" button.

There's other more relevant ways to build privacy conscious features than to focus on a share button.

Also, you underestimate share button providers by saying they aren't a consumer product. Your average WordPress user doesn't know (or care) about building share buttons.
