Ok, thanks.

I'm not conservative, just FYI, so I find it interesting to discuss differences with thoughtful conservatives which you seem to be.

If conservatives value loyalty/respect for authority more than so called 'liberals', then aren't you afraid that the conservative agenda carried out to it's logical conclusion might descend into authoritarianism/theocracy?

(You didn't state that you held these views or preferences, but I just assumed them in the interest of getting my question out quicker. Correct me if I am wrong.)
What do you think of the "country of origin" segregation vs. citizenship.

I was born in India and raised in Canada. I'm never going to get permanent residency in the US based on employment.

Is the best bet just to get married to an American?
I am in similar situation. I tried to use WSL with X server at first, but found that the antivirus block the internet usage of WSL until a certain update, but the antivirus was outdated.

At last, I use a similar setup with Autohotkey script. I remap the winkey to some unused key in order to disable default winkey behavior, so that I could use binding like win + 1 for virtual desktop 1, win + shift + 1 to move window to virtual desktop 1, and so on.

It was tough to work on other OS once you get used to tilting manager. It feels backward to manually moving around multiple stacking windows.
Right.

Almost all of these places look super depressing, like something out of American Psycho.

I'd expect the common room to look like a makerspace, or Grandma's house, or an artist's studio, or a game room, or maybe each corner of it is different, whatever.
> I wonder what else they will punish residents for. Bringing dates back home? Having a skirt that's too short?

If those are against the community rules, absolutely, they should be punished.

Don't like the rules? Vote to change them or move somewhere else. You can't do this in China anyway, do treasure the opportunity.
How is a 3000-person game of hide-and-seek supposed to work? Hide-and-seek typically involves knowing who you're looking for, or at least knowing that anyone in a given area is in on the game.
i.e. there is no exchange that offers tenure voting, and it's not clear that there ever will be one.
The amazing thing about the city (CUNY) and state (SUNY) university systems in New York is that not only are they incredibly affordable at sticker prices, but if you're a resident of New York, and if your family earns less than $125,000 a year, then tuition is zero -- completely free[1]. (Of course, you have to pay for food and housing.)

RMS has seen (and likely started) more flamewars in his lifetime than most of us ever will. He has clearly developed (or adopted) a meta-system to deal with differing views. If you ever talk to a smart priest, it's the same playbook: when it comes to deep beliefs, there is no point hammering something in your face, because it won't stick. Either you get to "truth" out of your own reasoning, or it's not worth it.
This reminds me of The Peter Principle, which basically says that people will be promoted to the level of their incompetence. Not to say that that are incompetent people, per se, but that if they are doing well in their current position, they will get promoted. They will continue to get promoted until they land in a position that is just a little out of their league, and that's where they'll stay. Eventually, an org is filled with people who are just a little over-their-head in almost every position.

that could very well be it - but I'm not sure I'd leap there - as someone who has been embedded inside my customer sites for months at a time, its not unusual for me to get attempted micromanagement from the customer - I've learned how to push back both politely, and impolitely, as the situation calls for.
In my region, not only is there a slow ship option, there is also a delivery day option.

With delivery day, you can bundle up all of your orders for the week and have them delivered in a single large shipment on a pre-specified day, Monday through Saturday.

You pick your day, and you have the option to make it the default on all future orders, and then you get one big box.

I don't know if it varies by region but with my account they are prominently displayed radio buttons on the "Review items and shipping" part of the checkout page.
Of course they will spread out. The point is that spreading to different market segments takes time and a lot of engineering effort.

No, because getting hacked does not threaten your life. Getting mugged does, th victim is acting under threat of injury or death.

Someone getting hacked is only acting under the threat of information or access to systems being released or eliminated. There is no immediate threat if force. Sure, if you want to get pedantic someone might hack a power plant and threaten to blow it up, but I've never heard of that happening and it's far, far different from the overwhelming majority of hacks.
And those stock criticisms are legit and remain to be unaddressed. This is called consistency. When will people stop defending Facebook. There is nothing to defend anymore. Except maybe your job?
I understand how it can achieve better performance by bypassing the file system.

But I'd like to compare this to hypothetical key-value software that stores its data directly on a partition (instead of in files). Isn't this essentially the same thing? The only difference that I can see is that the software would be much harder to update, and you can offload some CPU on to the processor on the drive.

Am I looking at this correctly? I don't get why you would want this to be a hardware device.
I'd say the primary similarity is the marketplace of third party sellers. For products where Amazon.com is the seller, it has about as many problems as anywhere else. Where Amazon.com is not the seller, it is like etsy or ebay, where the product listings themselves are completely unreliable. The #1 thing I hate about Amazon is how they mix third party items with items where they are the seller. However, third party has grown from 3% to 58% of sales on the site, so I don't see how they can get rid of it or fix it.

Interesting. It's not uncommon for consulting agencies to bring client employees in house for a few days, or vice versa, in order to work directly with one or two people, and this doesn't mean the whole office is focused on working for the visitor, but of course in your case it may not have worked like that.

We have a couple of shared channels with companies for whom we are customers and it also does not feel like that. The other company assigns one or two resources in each case to helping some of our staff with issues when they come up, and we pay them for that support. Only a small number of our team would be a member of those channels.
If Huawei can make a set of comparable cloud services (app store, push notifications, maps ...) that runs in the eu under eu law. Then that coupled with the high end hardware they are obviously capable of making would make a very compelling package for an European audience.

This may not be obvious to an American observer but the mistrust of American big tech is quite widespread in certain parts of Europe.

fancy zones is very different conceptually from i3/xmonad or workspacer.

fancy zones allows you to define a static layout, and then drag windows into the zones you create.

layouts in workspacer are defined in code, and are "always on", in that the window position/size is always handled by workspacer, instead of only when you ask for it.
I hear you, and I'm all for alternative options for living. But I'm frustrated that for profit corporations have such a stranglehold on capital, and are therefore in a position to dictate the physical and social infrastructure of these spaces.

The corporate domination of capital is essentially takeover of local governance.

I want that phrase on a t-shirt
Nobody's life is ended by the leak or destruction of any document. How does a hospital patient record getting leaked or destroyed kill anyone? A leak means private data is being divulged and that's not good but it's nowhere remotely close to murder. Deleting medical data means that the doctors need to get that data from the patient redundantly, which causes a drain on hospital resources but again it's not remotely close to murder.

If, say, the mafia threatens to assassinate someone if a document is leaked and a hacker obtains and leaks it the hacker still didn't kill anyone - the hitman sent by th mafia is the killer. And regardless that this kind of situation seems very far fetched.
Yes, that is fastest way since there are no quotas but I'd also recommend looking at the EB1 category because even though it is significantly backed up for Indian nationals, it's still a lot faster than the EB2 and EB3 categories and oftentimes within reach of talented professionals.

> In many cases Wget2 downloads much faster than Wget1.x due to HTTP2, HTTP compression, parallel connections and use of If-Modified-Since HTTP header.

This appears to be offical: https://gitlab.com/gnuwget/wget2

Which has this wiki: https://gitlab.com/gnuwget/wget2/wikis/home

> The idea is to have a fresh and maintainable codebase with features like multithreaded downloads, HTTP2, OCSP, HSTS, Metalink, IDNA2008, Public Suffix List, Multi-Proxies, Sitemaps, Atom/RSS Feeds, compression (gzip, deflate, lzma, bzip2), support for local filenames, etc.

> Some of these feature have been built into Wget in the meantime, but some other are really hard to implement into the old codebase.
Didn't bother reading the article since most comments say it's worthless. I expected a talk about measured brain activity.

I was raised a catholic, and the most prevalent feelings I got out of that was paranoia and fear. They teach you there's an omnipresent, omniscient, all-powerful being judging your every thought 24/7, for all your life. He's personally interested in you, he says he loves you dearly, but for some reason he won't speak to you at all. Only his priests know his will.

You can fool people, but you can't fool this being, and worst of all, you are already in his debt since before you were born. Displease him and being skinned alive by a drug cartel would feel merciful compared to your eternity in hell.

Fortunately, it was common sense, knowledge and the numerous contradictions, rather than fear, that opened my eyes out of religion. It took me years to cope with the sequels of indoctrination, but I'm happier and more serene as an atheist now.

In my book, religions that demand conversion are thinly-veiled attempts at brainwashing. Religions like Buddhism I find more benign.

Edit: went and read it anyway, and despite the clickbait title, I agree with the subtitle: "it's like going off a drug."

Yes, that's what they say. It's like closing an HTML tag.

I disagree that nothing more needs to be said about Slack, though. It's a highly influential application, for better or for worse, and the social issues around it aren't opened and closed quite so easily as a div tag.

I don't see what the issue is with reminding people to be considerate of those who are browsing on mobile. Unfortunately, the latter group is also usually the ones with the least ability to actual solve their rendering problems.
I think Slack/IM is a great tool, but maybe not for "deep" engineering work and requirements discussion. For things like this it is more important to have some structure and documentation behind it. As mentioned in the article Trello works well, I personally like Wrike but anything written down in one place is good!

Where Slack helps me the most is asking my group questions which seem too small for an email, like "hey what is maximum RPM of the motor we are using?" where anyone could respond and also other people can benefit from the answer.
Should've said a generalized rope, as ropes are generally described as a replacement for strings, but if you replace characters with other fixed size data types everything still works.

No one's only interest is shitposting on the internet. I can read your comment history and see you have an interest in anime, and being on HN implies you likely have some interest in programming of CS.

>Going out and socializing doesn't strike me as a purpose in life. Especially when you dislike socializing in the first place.

It's no more or less a purpose in life than staying in. But being asocial still isn't an excuse for being antisocial. You can go out in the real world and not be a toxic, hateful ass, just as you can online.
One of the unfortunate realities about the housing crisis is that you need crappy shitholes if you want complete housing coverage, because for those completely out of their luck a 20 sq. ft. room with unfinished plywood walls and broken fire detectors is still a 1000% better than a torn-up tent in the park. Granted the place in this article is just a gentrified tenement for hipsters working in entry positions paying twice the national average but want to live in places for those making 3x the average, but that doesn't invalidate the need for ultra-barebones housing.
strongman?
My experiences (with different situations) were nearly the opposite from those described in the article. My previous company (real estate company with a small software development team in house) hired various outside contractors. One was a company that worked on a mobile app, they invited us into a slack channel and it was effective. It worked well with our workflow as we already used Slack for a large part of our engineering communications. We also communicated with them via email and even some regular old phone conversations. Additionally, we hired a devops engineer who we invited into our slack channel and that was effective. Nearly 100% of our communications with him was in Slack. The devops engineer wasn't someone we communicated with on a daily basis but occasionally we messaged him and it worked fine. We also hired a few engineers through Upwork and invited them into some slack channels in our company and again nearly all our communication occurred through those channels. So, our experience of being invited to another company's Slack as well as inviting outside contractors into our slack channels were both positive. Our work is very different than a marketing firm, so I guess everyone can take these anecdotes with a grain of salt.

I worked at Origin in Austin as a summer intern shortly after EA took over. They were hard at work on Ultima Online 2, which they cancelled a about a year later. It was a bummer, as I had just interviewed to work on the Star Wars MMO, and when UO2 got shut down, suddenly a ton of experienced MMO devs were on the market and in town, and they passed on me, a college grad :(

On the bright side I probably make more money now than I would have had I gotten my foot into AAA gamedev!

> "Personality over looks" almost sounds like Nice Guy territory to me. It's dating. If you aren't even remotely attracted to the other person, then you're likely to waste both of yall's time with further action. You filter by looks all the time in the wild.

Somewhat true, but in the real world you can grow attracted to someone who's appearance you initially did not have a positive reaction to. I know this from experience. This does not occur in online dating, which encourages treating people as commodities.
Same here. I thought the article was going to talk about vendor lock-in and the inability to access old chat messages if their client removes their access, or if their client stops paying Slack, or if Slack stops existing. The hard turn into that mainstay of startup blog posts - "Slack makes us unproductive" - felt abrupt and unmotivated.
One more proof that you can do everything in bash.
It can download faster due to using more modern features (parallel downloading, If-Modified-Since) but the main focus is to make a cleaner codebase which is built around a reusable library, so it's easier to add features and make other code which uses those features, and so the libcurl monoculture gets a little fire under its ass.
You don’t slide up to switch apps, you do it to go home.

To switch apps you have to do an extremely frustrating gesture that shows you the app switcher half the time and the other half of the time it’s switches you directly to the previous app.

I’ll never buy an iPhone without a home button unless they fix the accessibility software home button so that it doesn’t sit right on top of the icons and the rest of the user interface. They should have at least given you an option to have a row of software buttons like Android does.

thats an interesting idea.

right now, configuring workspacer is a very imperative, mutable process, because you just setup instances of objects, and call functions that setup some state. some care would need to be taken to design an API that could be "layered" in that it could be easily overridden by the user. this is a good idea!
