Only mildly related, but I had a recent experience that made me fond of Java's way of doing things that your comment reminded me of.

I had to use a tool for work (name withhold to protect the guilty) that has awful documentation. The tool allows you to write snippets of your own code, but provides no IDE and no documentation (AFAIK) of anything but the most trivial aspects of the API.

I started using Python, but with no debugger and no interactive shell there was no way I was going to guess the names of the functions I needed. Lucky for me, someone uploaded the Javadoc of an older version of the API, and that was the missing piece of my puzzle: having the function names, the return types, and Java's stack traces, I now had all I needed.

Back to the topic: like you, I sometimes wonder if there's a downside to not having to scroll through hundreds of manual pages anymore. But until someone shows some kind of evidence of something being lost, I won't worry too much.

That said, I definitely wish more companies would make their documentation available offline, if only as a static version of the online version. For those of us who regularly program in trains and planes, offline docs are a lifesaver.
Your own words lack the nuance and shades of gray whose absence you so lament; methinks the lady doth protest too much.
Yeah agree, and its not just Tesla. HN comments are negative in general, sometimes to ridiculous extents. I still read them for the odd insightful or interesting take though.
I don't know if there are any 100% options, but wool seems to be a possibility. It's usually blended with tencel, nylon, and/or lycra.
I think in the case where there's such a huge age gap, and where the girl is a sex slave, it is serious crime. The girl could not meaningfully have consented.

But in any case, the poster that Stallman was responding to was merely pointing out that what Minsky allegedly did probably would constitute rape in the relevant jurisdiction.

If Stallman, for whatever weird reason, has some kind of a semantic program for reforming terminology relating to rape and sexual assault, then he chose the worst possible time, manner and place to put it forward. Especially given that he is previously on record as believing that sex between adults and much younger children can be 'consensual'. He's a best a goof on these topics, and at worst a serial creep and harasser. He has only himself to blame.
The whole game logic is run serverside, including hand and play validation if that's what you are asking.
Do you have any reason to believe that RMS hadn’t been the subject of several co platings, over several years, including several warning/remedial/probationary periods wherein people were working with him to try and improve the behavior that caused at least some of the multiple complaints over multiple years?

In other words, what makes you think this process played out over 1 week, rather than this being the most recent of a long succession of events?

I am personally saddened by RMS’ departure, and also saddened that this “final straw” seems likely to be caused by Richard attempting to defend the memory of a long-time, now deceased friend. That said, I also know people who interact with him far more often than I, and they almost unanimously say it was past time. It makes me sad, but it doesn’t make me think it was hasty.
That could be doable, but requires setting up an always available server in my home and installing Windows on that - not exactly the best of ergonomics
The reports that he defended Epstein were false. The reports that he defended adults having sex with children were true. Stories that people used to whisper about started to show up in news articles.

The straw that broke the camel's back could be the wrong metaphor. Maybe it's more like the dam burst.
So many to choose from! You didn't give a name, and I can't read your mind.
Are you suggesting from a safety point of view?

Perhaps? I know the latest studies suggest hands free phone calls aren't much better than handed phone calls [1], I don't know if there would be a difference between a conversation and barking out instructions in this context.

Id still prefer buttons.

> You used a tweet from a single person that never worked with Stallman as evidence.

I used it as evidence of the fact that many prominent members of the community have a negative opinion of Stallman. Not as evidence of anything he has or hasn't done. Please slow down a little and read my comments more carefully.
Stallman assumed that Minsky had sex with Giuffre.
> disempowers and dehumanizes marginalized people

That sounds terribly exaggerated. If this is the way to describe Stallman, what adjectives could be reserved to the much worse people out there?

You may not care about a random dude in the internet giving you an advice, but consider both sides of the coin and don't fall so quickly into manichaeism.
The first argument can be named just fine.

func fn1(myLabel1 myParam1: int, myLabel2 myParam2: int) {

fn1(myLabel1: 123, myLabel2: 456)

func fn2(_ myParam1Omitted: int, myLabel2 myParam2: int) {
}

fn2(123, myParam2: 456)

How come none of that came into light before the leak of his emails? This is quite curious, don't you think? I've read the emails and from the looks of it he just says that there's not enough evidence to condemn someone for their alleged misconduct. I'm very skeptical about all these "revelations", this entire thing appears to be media manipulation. I recommend the book "Trust me, I'm lying", it's eye-opening.
What about a purely "maintain in good functional state"? I mean, when there are not used, muscles atrophy. Maybe a similar phenomenon would happen if these cells were not regularly stimulated during sleep.
I grepped the minified source code included in the page, and it looks like the project was built using React.

React isn't opinionated on how you should handle component styling, and so the community has experimented a lot [0] with different solutions to managing CSS for components.

One approach is to have the component set its own inline styles in the render function. This makes it easy to have the component's styles to be "reactive" to its props (arguments), e.g.:

function MyButton({ importance }) {
return (
<button style={{ color: importance === "high" ? "red" : "grey" }}>
Click me!
</button>
);
}

In my opinion, Christopher “vjeux” Chedeau makes the most cogent argument [1] for why this way makes sense. It's worth a read; even if you end up disagreeing with the conclusion.

A related solution is to use classes, not inline styles, but to use a CSS framework such as Tachyons [2] where the included classes are small, single-purpose styling utilities like "serif" (applies font-style: serif) and "br-pill" (adds rounded borders).

Yep. I wrote a debug logger that could send messages to the browser console from the client, the backend's web process (via websocket), and the backend's background workers (via redis pubsub relayed to websocket). It was pretty tightly coupled to the architecture of the application, so it couldn't be used more generally like this library, but it was pretty simple and very handy for debugging some types of issues. It's worth investing a bit in dev ergonomics on your project: it can pay off in spades.
Said who? The basic accusation was that he was creepy (which is not really an objective problem, much less an offence...). This was illustrated by things like him having a matress in his office and him allegedly (and drunkenly) hitting on a student back in the 80s in a very bad way.
If you consider that the "viral" posts, which apparently triggered this, contained a warning of the like "if minors read this, please turn away, you might be shocked at the idea of a 17y/o having sex with an adult", you generally get the spirit of the whole thing. This has nothing to do with equality and freedom anymore, it's just about creating an "ideal" society (probably with procreation happening only after getting blessed by a priest).
Ah yes! the "Implications".

For me, the implication of a mattress in his office are that he might sleep there. Any other implications are in the dirty mind of the accusers.
This is what I think killed Aaron - that he broke in to gain CP evidence...

He got it and they suicided him.
WRT the "don't say god bless you" thing, I'm not really sure how that fits into what I'm saying, and that feels kind of like a straw man -- likewise with the "one guy" and their pronoun -- most queer and trans folks don't have pronouns like that. They are usually either people who were gendered as men or women most of their lives, who decided that they want to go by "she" or "he" respectively later in life, or people who aren't comfortable with either, and prefer "they".

I haven't met someone yet who has preferences outside of that. But you know what? If I met one, it would cost me virtually nothing to respect their preferences and make them feel seen.

And to be clear -- it's absolutely fine (usually) to make mistakes, so long as you're making an effort to be respectful. It's not ideal to not remember someone's pronouns (and again, 99% of the time when it's different than what you'd expect, it's either "he", "she", or "they"), but it's also usually not the end of the world -- most people I know, myself included, are fine if you say "oops! my bad".

Intentions go a long way.
I know at least 3 people on this list. Pretty much everyone I know considers it to be quid pro quo. One of my friends suggested that it cost their company ~$100K in extra marketing spend to secure a spot. The other two were backed by powerful people and didn't know how much it costs but it was considered a big favor. A VC offered me a spot on the list as part of their investment in a proposed company. I presume this was also part of their marketing spend.

I still think it can be valuable to be on the list. The US loves its secret and the not-so-secret societies and being in them can afford a rather nice fun life. I would generally recommend them if you can.

The age requirement is more than a youth fetish, it is a way of discerning privilege and privileged people are more likely to succeed and not make you look bad.

You probably shouldn't believe most of what you read in the news. For the people making investment decisions based on this list I'm sure the same people would have found some other way to waste their money.
That's not what was said _at all_. You simply have not read the post correctly, and worse, your phrasing exaggerates the actual situation.
Is the problem (statement, input and hopefully leaderboard) available online somewhere?

I figure it hasn't been used for recruiting in a long time, so there shouldn't be any downside of that nature to it being so. But there is the invested time in making it available, of course.

I hardly think I would be the only one thriled to try it just for fun. It would probably provide a great deal of goodwill for you guys, as well as further the industry's understanding of what constitutes a good take-home problem.
> Not recommend in a project that requires more than a scrollable site

I agree. Though I’d add that I found it too complex for a quick .md -> html site as well.

Next does a better job at complex things and one might as well use Hugo/Hexo for a .md blog. I don’t know how much can be found in between.
>What countries have experienced an "apocalyptic future" due to climate change seeing as you are smarter than NASA?

Note that the latter part is an ad-hominem, and what it puts forward (that I'm "smarter than NASA") was nowhere in my message (not even implied). So I might not be "smarter than NASA", but you (or at least your comment) are ruder than needed.

As to the point I made. NASA presents the Disney version for a lot of reasons, not because of lack of smart people there. Two main ones:

One is that they are a government agency, and need to be political (e.g. balance the pressure from those that discard the climate impact altogether and "meet them in the middle").

Second, is that in such a public pronouncement they tend to be conservative and err on the side of caution.

As for the countries that have already experienced an "apocalyptic future":

There would be various paths for me to travel. In my student days I did a lot of bartending (in smaller pubs), loved that work. I found that it's very cool to treat guests like small projects. As in, keep them happy. The project always finishes within the same day :-)
> Tesla is the opposite of Linux philosophy.

It literally records and reports back to HQ. If you ever make any statement that Tesla doesn't like, they will use what should be your own data against you.

Surveillance capitalism. Ownership as a service.

They also restrict the repairability via software.

It's as far from gnu as its possible to be.

Actually, the SAT reading comprehension questions are not that simple and trip people up. Which is really my point of analogy. They're the kind of questions where you either got the right answer or not, but explaining it to the person who got it wrong can be non trivial.
Geez people. It's NOT a submenu.. You just move the scroll-wheel up and down or push it to turn it on/off. It's that simple. It's also the default behavior.

> Believe it or not, there are people who give a shit about well-being at FB.

This is undoubtedly true of most maligned corporations out there, they are enabled by many well-intentioned people, but the physics of the situation remain. If something makes a meaningful dint to the bottom line (in a way that can't be offset by intangibles like public-relations wins etc.), someone at a higher-level is likely to veto it. This is where organized labor can be a force for good by facilitating internal protest.
And now Facebook is going to take the honerable role of Halliday right?
> what's good about building static websites with React

As compared to which alternatives?

Personally, I find the splitting up of code into components, together with the power and expressiveness of jsx and its closeness to plain javascript, and the simplicity of updating the ui in response to changes of state to be a very compelling argument for react.
And there are lots of regulations too. For example I sold an oil burner light on eBay to someone in NZ (didn't actually know as there was a UK address that forwarded the package) and I included some oils for free...

Big mistake. Package was returned and I had to remove them.

My only point being it's a poor port in part because of its delicate ecosystem, which necessitates very strict regulations.
Probably 8K video processing.
Not at my laptop until monday so not sure about all details, but almost that, yes. It's a top specced P1. Xeon but 6 cores I think. 64gb ddr4. 1500mb/s read I think it was on the SSD.

Not silent, exactly though, hehe.
My Model S came with a 3G connection and everything worked pretty well.

Then one time I decided to tether it to my phone. Soon after I got a software update, and I went ahead and applied it.

Big mistake. The update not only changed the GUI substantially, but also broke the navigation system and the voice command system.

The navigation system now gives two or three instructions and then nothing, it'd still be active and following the route on screen, but no more instructions.

The voice command system took around 5 seconds to get ready to record, while it was instantaneous before the update.

I took it in for service. They seemed to know about the navigation system problem. But all they could do was to apply the latest update. It didn't fix the navigation system, and the voice command system now takes around 10 seconds to get ready.

Overall I still like the car, but I don't think I'll ever get another, not while they're still pushing out half-baked software updates that could potentially cripple critical functionalities.
Thug life! :-)

But why would you punish yourself for someone else's acts?
"the twitter outrage mob has killed nuance" and "I lay the blame squarely on the far-left" is a very funny combination of claims to have in the same paragraph. :-)
For many years my good friend Evgeny Teilor (@evgeny_teilor on Twitter) has been composing music professionally and working on the sound design for commercials, movies, games, and TV-shows.

Nowadays, he is a professional digital producer and prolific creator. He works with musicians, movie directors, internet personas and influencers in composes music of all possible styles and genres.

YouTube: 2.2M views
Jamendo: 2M plays
Soundcloud: 340k plays

I’m happy to announce that we have just finished composing, designing, coding and testing the collaborative product that we merrily call ‘Unsplash for music’.

Music Maker is free music for everyone.

In my opinion it's not the supposedly ignoring friends part.
It's the fact that replacing then non virtual world with a virtual one means that you are giving your life entirely to a commercial entity. You basically lose all freedoms humanity achieved for the individual. Because this new space is not public, it's entirely owned.
If it would be opt in and an individual choice than I wouldn't care much.
But these things, if they are engaging enough will tend to attract a critical mass of people that might make the old non virtual space obselet in many ways.
This will effect me weather I like it or not.
Plus #46 casts calloc, and uses the unnecessary sizeof (char).
I know, but you can easily do a service on a decentralized service really hard to shutdown, anonymously.
I really enjoyed SL for a few years. At one point in some role play world that involved hunting or being hunted with bow and arrow or melee weapons. I had played plenty of other purpose build FPS but enjoyed that SL game more despite the crap graphics, laggy scripts, weapons, hacks etc. It felt more visceral.

I never spent a cent inside of an FPS but probably spent a few thousand dollars in SL.
Well I think your expectations are wrong, but think of it like this, the end user doesn't care if the work is being done by an L3 cache or a "CPU ram", they could call it a "CPU cache", and as long as it does what they expect it to do they don't care for the specifics.

In this example, bitcoin can be exchanged for goods and services, much like an approved currency,so the end user doesn't care what you call it just that it works,and in that respect bitcoin does work.
The fact that this got through Google's QA is inexcusable. Yeah I understand a dev messed up. It happens. But it should have been caught before being released.

All it would have taken is testing the installer on a non-SIP Mac.

Meh, just buy AMD because Nvidia sux. For gaming, the price to framerate comparison is so close anyhow.
I'm certainly no expert in this, but I have been working with it a lot recently while developing an app using graphql.

The solution in Apollo is to do caching in the client (and the server). This means that if you add something to a list of items on the client side, you're going to have to manually update the client cache or fetch it all fresh again. It is a pain to get used to this at first, but it turns out to not be that bad and I can see how it gives a lot of flexibility. As far as I can tell, there is no good 'built in' caching like this for rest based apps (ie: using localStorage), you're always re-inventing it.

The UX changes a bit in SPA's. User clicks on a tab and sees a loading section. When the user clicks away from the tab and then back, it is right there without having to reload. The data is pulled out of localStorage automatically by Apollo client. Makes things feel really snappy. If the user wants to see a new version of the data, they click the refresh button.

I'm having a hard time finding privacy issues with such searches. When those databases are used to search for suspects in legitimate crime cases using legitimate DNA evidence, I fail to see where either the suspect or the culprit have a reasonable right or expectation to privacy.

There is an argument around not giving a government such power to abuse. But if a government is already inclined to use such databases illegally and to circumvent due process, they won't really care about such legislation either.
