Mesa drivers are far from fine, they only got rid of the "core only" braindead schism just last year (IIRC) and that was thanks to pressure from AMD to get games working. Even then a lot of Mesa's codepaths are downright awful.

Nvidia had OpenGL as a major focus for decades (it was even the first API to get new features introduced in their hardware via extensions - though nowadays they also seem to do the same with Vulkan) and their OpenGL implementation's quality shows.

I wonder if some of the disagreement in this thread over whether the narrator was being reasonable is really disagreement over the productivity of remote employees.

I saw the author's request for extended remote work as entirely reasonable, but I work at a company that has an extremely generous and flexible remote policy, which I love and take full advantage of (working from home several days a week). I now believe that engineers can be at least as productive remote as on-site. Thus, denying his request to work remotely felt, to me, a little petty.

I've worked at companies in the past that discouraged remote work. I think back then, before I'd tried it, I would've seen his insistance on working remotely as a little lazy and entitled.
The compiled program. So you could give users the compiler (under AGPL) and source code to your program under a proprietary license. But you probably wouldn't, I guess.

Any compiled artifacts would need to be distributed (if they are distributed) under AGPL.

I'm a fan of Free software, but much prefer GPL/LGPL for compilers and runtimes/standard libraries.
Why wouldn't you release with sanitizers on? The performance impact really is negligible depending on the workload. It's basically like that tiny slowdown when you go from C++ to Java. If you have benchmarks showing the slowdown is acceptable, just ship with it enabled. Saves lots of headaches.
Presumably you want to listen to music over it?
Good stuff. Have to try it with some web scraping.
I'd recommend not leaving jobs off your resume.

First, gaps stick out like a sore thumb.

Second, with just a little bit of diligence they will easily see you worked there, but didn't list it on your resume. They then have the question of 'Why not list it?' in their mind. Their mind will build a narrative you do not control or influence, and it's not a positive one.

Better to be 100% open and transparent. List it on your resume, and talk to it during the interview 'Due to our CTO leaving I was no longer a fit with their changed culture or mission, so left to seek other opportunities. I did stay in contact with the CTO however, and he can provide a reference if you'd like.'
Until you get deplatformed like Gab did by payment processors, hosting providers, cdns and more.

Same thing in Romania. If you have a bachelor degree and you're employed as a programmer or data analyst or something in that area you get an income tax discount. For everyone else, there's a flat 16% income tax. A programmer or disabled? 10%
Wow, really? So it’s essentially impossible to use this for proprietary software? I knew about the server stuff, but I didn’t think the AGPL bound compiled programs to the terms of the compiler.

If I use an AGPL text editor, does my written text also become APGL?
If "without media" means without images as well, it is larger than i expected
Outsourced Accounting Services
Historically, I have found that these questions won’t receive a response from anyone with valuation insight at YC. I’m unsure why work isn’t shown when arriving at valuations you’re publicly communicating (even if only relative through ordering, such as in this case). I’m not asking for an S-1 or pro forma financial statements, broad strokes would be fine.

Also, touting how many people your startup employs when it’s in the job destruction business (Cruise and others) seems like an unhelpful metric to put front and center (startups are rarely going to be net job creators, software, automation, all that jazz).

Edit: It’s also odd Docker is #18 when they’re likely about to run out of cash. [1]

Disclaimer: I own equity in a YC startup, but am not currently employed by any companies in YCs portfolio.

Exploring the non-nullable type warnings in C# 8
Anyone who has ever worked in industrial jobs, know how much more plastic is being used / discarded there. Sad to say, it's only been in the past few years that many companies have really started focusing on sorting / good handling of garbage.

One of my first part-time jobs were on construction sites, where I'd spend my day unloading materials which was packed in plastic - which was then just thrown in containers, which in turn were dumped in land-fills.

But with that said, I think it's good that people are aware, and spread awareness.
What Is Clickjacking
For small projects, large files, or one-off files, it's Sublime for me. For work on my existing/massive project at work, it's phpStorm. For everything else it's usually VSCode.

You're about there.

We use all of our progress as a means to differentiate ourselves from other animals. We're smarter, better, etc. We have houses to live in and food to eat on demand. We want for little and don't have to worry about dying from a shark attack.

But animals do seem to be generally happier. I think Adams succeeds on the sensible chuckle level rather than anything uproariously funny. He's just really good at sustaining it. You read it and go "Heh. Totally. Wars suck."

So which is really more intelligent? Making an iPhone or just being satisfied with your life?

The fish is a fish. It's a funny visual of seeing someone cram a fish into their ear and that's about as far as the joke goes. It could have been anything really.
Sounds like pareidolia to me. Scour through the speeches of a major public talking head and correlate any word ever mentioned with any scandal or criticism and declare it's 'SEO'? The examples given are QAnon levels of free association. ('Model of restraint' is not exactly an unusual phrase.) And then they admit it doesn't even work? "Current searches for the terms in question show that any effect was indeed short-lived."

Yeah, a confusing spate of offerings and terminology is just part of working with the Microsoft stack. It took me like 3 years of professional C# development to finally sort it all out.

But the reason they're pushing server-side Blazor is because loading client-side Blazor just takes too long in production deployments. Right now, you have to wait several seconds before the page loads, which is unacceptable for most users. I feel like server-side has to be the future, though, and they'll address the speed issue soon enough.

It's a weird dynamic, and it's one that I would love to see researched, because being a moderator is a thankless job that doesn't really offer the use any real power - but evidence suggests that people will go to great lengths to abuse that power.

It gets especially weird in some of the football subreddits. Some moderators try to push the narrative that having a popular football subreddit, or controlling the subreddit for a particular football team (e.g. /r/reddevils) gives them the ability to pretend to be "in-the-know", and to speculate on transfers, pretend they know decisions going on at the club, etc.

Hyper works pretty damn well. I was using ConEMU, but it is very slow on WSL2.

Fwiw, I work on rails + react apps with this setup:
- Hyper as my terminal
- WSL2. Then just my zsh/vim/tmux setup
- Docker's tech preview for WSL2

This has been pretty reliable so far. I'm sure I'll hit a snag at some point, but it has been a relatively smooth experience.
Speaking of the Surface Book, my aging MacBook needs replacing, and I was interested in seeing a Surface Book 3 release as an alternative. Sad it didn't materialise.
That’s not accurate at all.

To get the 0%, you have to exercise at strike price (only way to do that is to forward exercise your vesting schedule which is in theory great, but I have yet to see this allowed by a company for normal employees) AND you have to be under a certain threshold of income (39k for single and 78k for married [1]).

So in reality 0% is just not possible for most people with these options.

When you exercise, the spread between strike and fair market value is taxed, whether you sell or not, or even can sell. If the company is private, you have to pay and hope they become public or get sold.

If you happen to live in CA, add some more tax on top of that.

Now, as a founder, where you do not need to use options, the math is different, but still not zero percent.

The Bible, including New Testament, doesn't forbid slaves either. It was common and accepted practice in Roman times. If you lose a battle, you become a slave. That was considered a fact life then. (A great motivator to win, I must say.)
I doubt 99% of the community is so humorously pessimistic. This functionality can be easily replicated in several databases (with triggers and the like). Generated columns l make a common pattern simpler and more explicit. Maybe it’s not a useful feature for everyone but it’s certainly not some instant tech debt like you’re implying.
That is a disgusting russophobia. You should be ashamed.
Why call the others "normies"? The others are normal and just normal, while I am special and therefore special. Does that sound like a slave to you?
That looks quite inconvenient. I think it'd have been better if the screen could be unhinged, and only held together by a cable. That way, I and someone across the table could follow something on the same computer, but on a different screen. In fact, if I could attach as many screens as I wanted, that'd be pretty cool...
For me, it's because I've never studied my database the way I do my programming language. I'll read a thousand pages to master a new language, and I'll take it all to heart. Meanwhile, I begrudgingly read a few pages about PostgreSQL (let's say) and move on to the next task ASAP.

PostgreSQL has great documentation, and I will give it a serious read one day.
There's another side to this though. LGBTQ content is inherently about sexuality, how is youtube supposed to deteremine when you're talking about sexuality for the sake of social progress vs. talking about sexuality for the sake of, well, sex?
Just assumign this were real (its not). I kind of love how leftists got a taste of their own medicine. They push for platforming for everything and everyone who does dare not to agree with their ideology and they deep everything that they find offensive (and that is a lot) to be "hatespeech" and pressure Google and others to censor it. On the Stephen Crowder cases YouTube admitted he did NOT violate their terms and they demonized his entire channel for some jokes about a guy who calls himself the same things the jokes were about.
A reasonably configured Postgres is easily sub-millisecond for reads and writes on a small dataset like this. I suspect that the author is doing something quite wrong.

People generally reach for Redis too quickly, IMO. Postgres is about as fast, has better tooling, and will slow down gracefully as the dataset increases, rather than evicting records as the limit is hit.

That said, I guess if you're relatively junior, it's hard to grossly misconfigure Redis, so that's a point in its favor. Somewhat like Java vs Node.js--you can write higher performance network services in Java, but it's a lot easier to make mistakes.
This got me thinking about the post-colonialism modern era of steady state nations (and some would hope for: borders).

Is it possible that a valid terminal state is a country being merged into another? I wonder if we're just assuming that shrinking country == bad by default.

Actually seems the author might be a bit confused about link exceptions:

"Linux’s license doesn’t extend to user space and I want that aspect to work the same for Loko."

Sounds like they really want something closer to gcc/glibc licensing.

Not quite sure if they really want to close the "proprietary fork running as compiler-as-a-service in the cloud"-hole that using the AGPL (with link exception) would close, though.

A lot of people are angry that Notch (the guy who made the game) isn't just another SV "progressive" and so use him as a scapegoat for everything that's "wrong" with gamers.
Furthermore, it will give inferior material properties and potentially have more quality/repeatability issues.

They must believe that more complex designs can more than make up for the disadvantages of 3d printing. That is hard to fathom for a thin walled pressure vessel like a rocket body, but I'm sure they know things that I don't.
> So while a regular PC will boot up and immediately run all of the services necessary to run a Win32 application, for example, Windows 10X won’t load this subsystem until it’s needed. This, the company argues, allows it to be very efficient with the resources available on the machine and extend its battery life significantly.

Hopefully they won't decide it is never needed.
> I see avoiding straws like playing scales to learn piano. Scales alone seem like nothing, but they're how you get to Carnegie Hall.

That isn't remotely true. The best pianists in the world who play at Carnegie Hall, true virtuosi, are far beyond attributing their skill to scales. Scales are mainly used by great pianists within the context of your work on specific pieces, as that is where pianists will be judged. Why waste time on all 24 scales for an hour? That's terribly inefficient practice.

For instance, Ballade No 1 by Chopin: you need to practice scales for the coda only, but there are 30-40 other passages that are just as important. You'd be wasting your time to practice scales in other keys and not practicing those challenge moments, as no one cares if you can do scales in E major when those scales are adjacent to the G minor tonality. When I learned that piece, I practiced the two scalar passages maybe 1% of my work on the whole piece.

A more apt analogy would be: if we wean ourselves off of single-use straws, beginning piano students can wean themselves off of pneumonic devices for remembering note names. It's just the very basics of decarbonization/piano playing, and so so much more has to be done in both cases.

So, no, getting to the tip-top level of decarbonization doesn't rely on not using straws, just like Carnegie Hall doesn't rely on scales. This is a classic example of focusing on very miniscule lifestyle changes, when climate change/environmentalism is about huge, broad stroke issues first and foremost.
Because it’s hard for a lot of startups to qualify for traditional corporate charge cards with no personal guarantee even though the venture backed ones have a lot of money in the bank.

Personally I think the fact Stripe launched a competitor will make it hard for them to grow as fast as they might have prior.
Although I don't know all the aspects around the Libra protocol, I'm fairly sure that FB is only making the Calibra App. The (stablecoin) Libra should be able to be accessed through other wallets overtime (given it is a cryptocurrency).

Since it is a cryptocurrency, the whole point is to allow people to send money w/o censorship.

Impossible to use for proprietary software you distribute. So you can write internal software, and only need to share the source with yourself.
> denying business to gay couples on the right.

There's no denying of business, there's just illiberal progressives seeking to force individuals speech and expression to be only what they deem socially acecptable. If some Christian baker doesn't wish to create a bespoke cake, that's within his right.

Your desire to control others expression is far more toxic than someone's "right" to a bespoke desert.
Yes, MST absolutely can do 4k at 60hz. This is what the first Dell 32" 4k used.

My rMBP has been able to do this since February, 2014. I was trying to get my RX 560 in mid 2018 to do this and it just was not possible via any means with Ubuntu 18.04. I ended up using an Nvidia 1040 with the binary drivers without issue. The nouveau driver for the 1040 was able to do it with a newer kernel than Ubuntu 18.04 had (I was using Arch for that test).

Funny how simple things become status symbols in some place but not in others. Here in France, a hard hat is just a PPE for use in the construction industry, not any kind of status symbol. Perhaps those categories of workers and their members are perceived differently on the two side of the Atlantic?

Very good point. But as low-skill customer service jobs go, it's a great stepping stone for someone who is yet to figure out their career path. What happens when all those stepping stones are automated away and we only have high-level jobs left? I think it doesn't bode well for economic mobility.
Reinforcement Learning and Reasoning
Add one datapoint to the discoverability argument made in the article: I have had 3D Touch enabled iphones for a long time now and had absolutely no idea that the feature you're describing existed. I just tried the new long tap version of this feature on my iPhone 11 pro and it's just as you say kind of awkward because of the multi touch requirement to select, I can definitely see how 3D Touch would've made this better.

Now I wonder what other actually useful 3D Touch features I missed because I never discovered them. The only ones I did find where pretty useless and more often than not just got in the way, e.g. rearranging home screen icons.
