> But at the end of the day it's still a Twitter clone, so offers absolutely no value to me.

Agree in the long run.

In the short run playing with interesting tech has its own value at least as long as it only replaces more useless stuff (I guess tv is the thing I "sacrifice" to have time for tech.)
My understanding is that it is rare as compared to lower levels but far from impossible. The data points at levels seem to bear that out.

Whereas in some other, smaller companies there are perhaps one or two ICs at that pay level, they have been at the company for a decade, and hold all the tribal knowledge. No one ever gets hired into that type of position.
Yep it maximized reuse and testability. Little shell programs can be tested easily, used at the CLI, and then called from the UI, which just becomes a wrapper. Makes sense to me.
If we are factoring in imaginary future tech then someone could invent carbon neutral trains
I noticed this while looking through comments while they were still taking submissions. I was outraged. I told everyone I knew who cared. I can’t understand how this story isn’t bigger.

I would be much happier if at the time there was a counter force to spam submissions of the opposite opinion and at least make it abundantly clear that the whole thing was a farce. It’s wild that the FCC chair had the gaul to claim the public was against net neutrality from these submissions.
You should be able to find some info with the keyword "countdown". This is a TV game which seems very close (identical ?) to yours.

I settled on LaunchControl instead because I was impressed by the semantic understanding of fields that it has. If a job goes wrong it frequently has a 1-click suggestion to fix it or to facilitate debugging.

I think it is because they look old school and filthy. The former is the reason why I buy them, the latter is why I have to wash them more frequently than black keyboards.
Is the on-prem one Windows based? Also by less cumbersome do you mean the cloud one has fewer features or is just easier to get up and running with it because it's a browser based. Are the company expecting your on-prem one to fade away over time etc? Could you give any information of what each was written in and an order of magnitude, hundres of thousands of loc etc. Sorry for all the questions but I'm nosey! No problem if you can't.
But you can create a meetup group based on age. I guess this is about positioning rather than the product.

To me, the most interesting thing about the whole episode is that the post was locked and unable to be voted upon after massive downvotes from users.
They did such a great job with Epstein too. Letting him go free for all those years and protecting him and then he suddenly dies when he is gonna name people in Government and the Royal family.
OpenID Connect’s most frustrating aspect is its naming, reminding me of a time when OpenID (1.0) was more commonplace.

With OpenID Connect, users only get the benefit if the site implements a particular identity provider... a continued move to the walled-gardenism of the net.
Do LTE chips also support GLONASS and BeiDou, or do phone makers have to install a separate chip for those systems that Android phones commonly drawn on?
Just downloaded Unity to quickly check that it's possible, which ended up being pretty easy to enable.

I'm quite relieved that the higher ups were able to successfully de-escalate the situation. It is so easy to read about situations where some pompous military officer trys to escalate and kick start a conflict. But fortunately a situation that has gotten out of hand is de-escalated smoothly.
I've look for a while at this, and have come to this conclusion:

At the time I need a multi-line pattern language, I just whip up a FSM-like program in code. And I'll continue to do that.
> There's a difference between a public figure, such as a politician making such statements vs. an ordinary person expressing an opinion.

Not sure why you say that, but AFAIK in all places where Holocaust denial is illegal, that applies to everybody equally. Yes, an ordinary person expressing the "opinion" that the Holocaust did not take place would be sentenced just like this local politician was.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_against_Holocaust_denial, I can't see any special cases for politicians or other public figures there.
I kind of see a pattern here between net neutrality with ISPs and pollution with car makers.

I'd like to think in both cases that by walking back (sensible) regulation at the federal level was bad for business.

I wonder what that means for online privacy laws. Should the federal government not even touch this?
I am somewhat surprised I am 24 hours and 175 comments late and yet no one has mentioned what I thought was the answer.

Samsung is an extreme vertically integrated company. As far as I am aware there isn't any other company on the planet that is remotely close to this level of integration. Not even Cargrill.

Samsung doesn't just make Display, NAND/ DRAM / Battery, Assembly, Controllers, MEMS, SoC, Foundry but also down to the Chemicals and Materials as well as actual assembly. Think of it as 80% of the whole Shenzhen Ecosystem.

So while other companies have difficulties moving off that Shenzhen Ecosystem, the reality is Samsung was never part of it. Samsung Mobile is the front line to drive all volumes for each of its subsidiary to a sustainable level, before these subsidiary graduate to start selling to third parties. For Samsung, it is only a matter of government signing an agreement to tariffs, clean water, electricity and all these basic infrastructure. And if the government have trouble getting those up, not to worry, you could paid Samsung and Samsung will built those for you ( Samsung is also a construction company ) and promise to hire enough local workers.

This is in deep contrast to Apple which doesn't actually own any part of the supply chain.
The article lives up to its title. Given its relatively short length, it does a good job explaining why printk() is so complicated.

I loved this bit: " By 2.6.26, printk() was causing large latency spikes; kernel developers dealt with this problem by ignoring printk() in the latency tracer, thus sweeping it under the rug."
One reason might be that smart? competent? people can do kernel development without a debugger. Or so I've been told.

Looks pretty strong: getting rid of the fungi stopped tumor growth and repopulating it with that type of fungi (and not with other types) restarted it again (in mice). And they've even found a drug target!

Pancreatic cancer is not the most common but one of the most deadly (<10% survival) with very short times between diagnosis (it's mostly asymptomatic) and death.
It shows neither.

The decision simply states that EU law does not prevent a national court from specifying than an injunction to remove content from a platform should apply worldwide, as long as it is otherwise legal to do so (it also complies with international law, etc.). [1]

"the Directive on
electronic commerce, ..., does not preclude a court of a Member State from ordering a host provider ... to remove information covered by the injunction or to block access to that information worldwide within the framework of the relevant international law, and it is up to Member
States to take that law into account."

Fair enough! In the end it's great that you've been able to take a step back and look at your ultimate goal (i.e. the customer problem solving). That doesn't always happen enough, and it's a good sign for your IT teams :) Also the fact that you were able to get the time to actually do this.
I wouldn't use your startup or any others in the space. I have a problem with AWS spend, but there is no transparent pricing on your website. Also I have to speak to a sales person, these two things are an instant no for any sass product
"Back when I was in college (early 1990s), respect for free speech was almost universal among educated people."

So, I think you need to clarify what you mean by "free speech".

It wasn't until the late 1980s that flag desecration was recognized as free speech. Before 1989, 48 of the 50 states prohibited, for example, flag burning in a political protest, and with different laws than apply for burning, for example, paper at a political protest.

Quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_v._Johnson#Subsequent_de... , "More than two decades later, the issue remained controversial, with polls suggesting that a majority of Americans still supported a ban on flag-burning." This suggests that many people in the 1990s, including "educated" ones, did not believe in free speech in the same way that the US Supreme Court did.

Is commercial speech covered under the same free speech tradition? That is, can companies lie about their products, under the protections of free speech? Does the Establishment clause ever overrule a teacher's free speech right of leading a prayer in the classroom?

Going back a generation, many people supported the anti-Communism restrictions of the Taft–Hartley Act of 1947, which required union officers to sign non-communist affidavits with the government. The Supreme Court later overturned it, but it's an example that, no, "respect for free speech" was not "almost universal among educated people" in the mid-1900s.

Going back yet another generation, and you see cases like Schenck v. United States and Debs v. United States where speaking out against the war, and encouraging resistance to the draft. This was illegal under the Espionage Act of 1917, and upheld by the Supreme Court. Was this free speech or not?

Going back yet another generation, to the 1870s, and you see the start of the Comstock Laws, which among other things banned distribution of sex education information. These laws were widespread, and widely supported. Was this free speech, or not?

So no, it does not seem to me that "respect for free speech was almost universal among educated people".
I love this example. Off topic but like yourself I too remember when camera phones were first released and most people (including myself) did shrug it off as an insane novelty which would never catch on. It didn't help that the resolution on those things were barely better than the original Nintendo Gameboy camera.

It's funny how something that seemed so insane at the time is now the de facto standard way of taking pictures.
I think this kind of thing should be not for profit though rather than YC. Someone mentioned men’s shed in Australia. That sort of thing. Meetup is a good idea. Sure they are for profit but a few bucks for unlimited members is ok, it’s almost free.
> "If you're at a junction and you see a motorcyclist coming, just say 'bike,'" he said. "That puts it into an extra form of verbal short-term memory and you know you'll still remember it's there seconds later."

It's really nice they can come up with a simple rule to sidestep the issue with our short term memory or attention glitching out like that.
Yeah, I don't know about this. If a certain item may be "unlawful" in the EU, but not India. What then? Why should I not be able to see such content just because some government halfway around the world has a problem with it?

Furthermore, take this hypothetical case: A government makes it illegal for folks to share any information about ongoing crises/protests in the country on social media. Does this mean that people outside said country also won't be able to talk about it on social media? That would be disastrous for discourse on the internet as it exists today.
Re availability: We had a hard time keeping the system based on Spark available. There were days when the cluster would freak out multiple times in a single day. The 'fix' would be: restart a bunch of spark workers. We spent a lot of time debugging/finding this out (some parts documented in [1]) but couldn't work out what the problem was. (EDIT: Assuming there even was a single problem.)

In this particular case, I'd take the single point of failure over the previous situation.

That being said: we have successfully used PostgreSQL's fail-overs multiple times. In my experience, they work quite alright.

It’s above the level that enterprises have historically promoted ICs. Thirty years ago at Oracle or HP the position wouldn’t have existed—-you’d either have to go into management or you’d be stuck at senior engineer.

In government terms the closest thing I’m familiar with is the assistant US attorney chart which does extend reasonably far without needing to hit the supervisory level.

This is not about "Facebook allows politicians to lie" it's about taking down Trump's anti-impeachment ad.

The page claims it was debunked by "fact-checkers" but that in fact is a lie and it provides no reference to any of those fact-checks.

https://www.axios.com/joe-hunter-biden-ukraine-corruption-tr...

It's just a political pressure to suppress this ad and presidential candidate, as it's already happening across all platforms (Reddit limiting Trump's subreddit appearance on top page, Twitter "warning sign," Facebook posts up a message with captcha if you're sending a conservative news link on messenger, to name a few.

Besides, this shouldn't even be on HN.
The Netherlands has introduced a ban on face-covering masks this year, but the ban is restricted to public places like public transport, schools and governmental institutions.

Although the current interest is probably related to HK, the ban in The Netherlands seems to be related to the introduction of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burqa in the public domain.
The article makes good pro-mask points. But--as is not mentioned in the article--some such laws have been passed to stop violence from groups like the Ku Klux Klan.
Well, it is not producing much at the moment, and it is consuming electricity and resources to run.

I am hoping that it will produce a better way for people to talk and connect, as well as provably reliable information store.
The on-prem is windows-based, we're delivering new version as msi. The goal of the cloud version is be easier to get up and running, since there's no installation steps and (I guess) less configuration to do. The company might want the on-prem to fade, but it won't happen in the short term since we still have clients. The on-prem is 15-20 years old, but not always actively worked on and with ~1M Loc (including sql scripts, setup, config files, but not the test suite). The cloud project started last year and I think there's already clients using it, but I don't have access to the code, so I have no idea for the loc.

That is a known pattern for people in discriminated group that they want to behave like the majority and take it to the extreme. So female bosses in environment when females are underrepresented may behave like that. It goes hand in hand with internalized sexism (and she tries to prove that she is not like 'other girls/women'). This and more interesting patterns like that are described in What works for women at work.
Why do you even bother to share your very free personal own opinion if you can't argue it in a broader context? If you're going to pose something as a general objective idea, then backpedal and defending it as only your very own personal views which you are entitled to hold but really if they have no bearing on the general context of discussion you might as well not share it because who wants to hear this?
Weirdly worded. Am I missing something? I understand this to mean that the court (not the EU!) said that EU law doesn't forbid the take down orders that are issued by EU members, it does not say that EU law (or national law of member states) is applicable world wide.

It didn't rule on whether a global take down notice is lawful, just that the take down notice itself isn't unlawful in general.
For a data point, when I applied and interviewed for a frontend-focused position at Google ~1 year ago, I had the option of one of my interviews being a front-end specific interview that would focus on FE rather than algorithms.

Ask HN: What are your arguments in favor of end-to-end encryption?
Also, how do you respond when someone brings up concerns of E2EE platforms being used for child sexual abuse imagery or terrorism?

Keep in mind that these arguments have to be made to laypersons who aren't necessarily from the United States, and who don't usually have a lot of technical knowledge.
You describe an environment that is quite scaled up. I would assume that if there is scale, there is money. And a license to the commercial version is what, 2 salaried hours a year? It is easy to save time and money. I am sorry, but I cannot see this as a big problem.
> I still think excel is the leader in this category.

Yes, definitely. The "reactive functional" programming paradigm of the spreadsheet is radically more understandable for end users than the imperative, as it doesn't require keeping a mental model of state changes in memory.

Fortunately, React has popularized this reactive functional paradigm and it is no longer confined to spreadsheets.

> I’m thinking the same elements presented in an environment perhaps more like Scratch could work

An approach of visual building blocks could help for learning, though Scratch is imperative so it has all the trappings that make a language hard to learn for non-programmers, plus all the inconveniences of editing a visual language (much more cumbersome than editing text).

I'd rather have a "structure editor"[1] for editing a textual language (like the spreadsheet, but with a tree representation instead of a grid one), which added enhanced visual representations over the base tree. You know, like the IDEs developers use, but with a functional reactive language that mixed code and data, like the spreadsheet does.

What is this shit response?

> The insistence that simple emphasis is a valid use for "literally" -- and quoting M-W or the OED to support your case -- is just as prescriptive the insistence that it doesn't.

It's not prescriptivist because I'm describing the meaning it is currently ascribed to.

> Do you want "literally" to be a meaningless emphasis word (and thus lose its ability to specify "this actually happened")?

Yes? I use the language everyone else uses, not the Pure language that everyone decides is the only version in the world the second they enter their 20s.

Why are you dying on this hill? Why are you mad that people are deviating from your One True Ideal of what you think the language should be? It's not like there aren't other words that you can substitute in; it's whining for the sake of whining against language change. Not to mention, you're dying on the hill against a language change that already happened hundreds of years ago.
> You take this one "flaw" in your view and explode it into a major usability limitation that makes the whole software useless.

No, I did not do that.

I do not want to discuss if "groups" is a "big deal" or not.

I am interested in the question if "groups" in distributed, federated systems is a solved problem or not.
Yes we do. It's virtually impossible to break a writer/band/act without a significant marketing budget.
I am currently evaluating if we should rewrite a large chunk of our embedded controller which handles motion control right now, so this is a timely write-up! I think the lessons here are the same in embedded code - we can keep the existing black box (consultant written!) code for now while the new motion control code is written in a parallel branch. The more modular the project the easier this is luckily!
It's pathetic when people from any country equate what a country's politicians do with what their people want. I am not the US government. The US government may love the idea of foreign influence and hacking but a big chunk of its people do not. Please do not confuse these two things.

Probably still better than Ticino in Switzerland, which banned face-coverings in public to apparently target burqas but instead of making setting-dependent exceptions, made exceptions for health and safety (reasonable) as well as local festivals (i.e. protecting some traditions but not others).

The Brodie books are both excellent.

"Object Oriented Forth" by Dick Pountain is a succinct and practical exploration of applying Forth's metaprogramming capabilities to extend the language with various features. The best aspect of the book is that it works through many alternatives rather than taking a direct path. It's more about data structures and abstraction than OOP.

Julian Noble (https://www.taygeta.com/fsl/docs/NobleArchive.html) also wrote a number of very interesting articles and books about Forth. There's an apparently ongoing project to re-typeset his "Scientific Forth": https://github.com/Josefg/Scientific_FORTH.
Well, what kind of law is internationally valid (at the level, where American presidents casually give orders for murder)? Do "hosters" now have to employ lawyers having knowledge of all 193 "official" states on earth or otherwise they risk getting sued again?!
