I agree with that you should show when you can.

But at the same time a lot of the time people in real life don't show nearly all of what is going on with them.

In that case "tell" either gets contrived - you end up with convoluted attempts at externalizing thoughts in way that bears no relation to how the character would act in real life, or you ignore the story. The former often leads to lots of monologues or contrived props to make the character show you things in ways that makes no sense. In the right setting that can work, but often it is just jarring to e.g. have a character talk out loud to themselves or otherwise act out things they'd be more likely to just have thought about.

This seems to be why she is bringing up abuse, for example. An abuse victim writing about their experience can certainly "show" the abuse, but how do they show how it made them feel and what it made them think about, when they've often worked hard to keep a mask and not show the world how they were affected?

It's good advice to show, not tell, on the basis that most people who haven't written much tell way too much and show too little. The problem is that it is then sometimes overdone. It doesn't always makes sense to show instead of telling. Either because showing becomes contrived, or for example because showing commands attention, and sometimes you want to tell to avoid drawing attention away from the main thrust of a scene or a work to some detail necessary to understand what is going on, but not important enough to show.
Or the one where they went to school or the one where they did their undergrad or the one where they got their PhD or what if they worked for 5 years of the project in country A and then finished the last year in country B?

No attribution is perfect, but they might still be useful.
Personally I've requested my account be deleted.
Side project at work is a different thing. I do recommend them (at home), but that's irrelevant.

It's irrelevant, because if coding is something you love doing, you will have many side projects and enjoy them not caring all that much about their profitability or how do they look in your CV. And if you don't, why would you want one? Do the things you love. Possibly consider changing your career (but I guess this may be tough especially if you are a good coder).
Harassment and arbitrary arrest are not quite the same as "judges will often not enforce laws as they are written"

Seems like you've deliberately misinterpreted my comment
"A brilliant insight into how people don't actually work" describes almost everything Scott Alexander writes outside of psychopharmacology, and really should also be the epigraph for Less Wrong-style rationalism as a whole.
> Which makes me believe we need some kind of trusted "morality authority", which would process information similar to this and make informed decisions who to boycott

Just sounds like cancel culture to me. And it has horrible results.
>Assuming that only half the US population follows (consumes, pays) for NBA related products

I would say at most, 10% of the US consumes/pays for NBA related products. NBA finals are estimated to have 15M viewers last year, so even doubling that you're only getting to 10%.
>Where did the UK North Sea oil profits go?

>Where do the US oil profits go?

Norway: 5 million people, and 1 trillion dollars in it's oil fund, most of which was from oil profits.

UK: 66 million people. North Sea profited around 1.1B in 2018. It would take 1000 years of this to match Norway, and 12,000 years to do it at per capita rates.

US: 327 million people. In 2018 [1], total US net oil profits were 28B, which was a good year. To match Norway per capita would take 2200 years of profits.

It's easier to set up a sustainable fund when revenues per capita are orders of magnitude larger.

Exactly the same reasons why a sighted person wouldn't.
This is what happens when pretentious literati feverishly search for something novel to expound on. There is no magic spell with which to entrance your readers. Pick a method, practice, and develop your own style. If you’re really, really lucky, your style will coincide with the shopping lists of our various editors, and publishers, and you might make a living. Write on!
Mypy certainly helps, but it is not that powerful, and completely falls flat if you use an old library
I feel bad for you, they didn't even leave a comment on the PR :(
I think we should also play attention to what's going on in Iraq, maybe more so than in HK, since the former was partially US (and to some extent NATO) doing.
Thanks for posting! This a wonderful article, accompanied by truly great photos, that reminds me of my days touring the south. Bitter Southernerner is killing it these days.
> it's obviously taken a hit with the component paradigm

Can you please explain how the component paradigm is at odds with semantic markup? Is it just that developers are now satisfied with the semantics being in their component names and props, and don't care if it actually gets rendered as undifferentiated divs?

My own hypothesis is that React gave developers permission to question some things that were previously deemed sacred in web development, and developers went too far with that. Using a component framework like React or Vue is not inherently at odds with producing good semantic markup.
As much as I dislike seeing them on publisher websites this is just going to be further bad news for publishers in finding revenue outside of ads and subscriptions.

We're just going to see crappier content at a larger scale that earns them less money due to significantly reduced competition.
Note that i'm comparing the overall UI/UX of these services not just for this specific project.

However libraries also have end users - the developers who are going to use the library (vs the developers who will work on the library). A library can have a release version (with e.g. pregenerated documentation, configure, make or whatever) which is different from a repo snapshot similar to how an application can have a release version.
Works very well for Lego instructions though. I think the main difference is that people don't buy IEKA for the enjoyment and challenge of assembling it.
lol dead silence as expected. These companies only exist in HN imagination.
There might also be a business, although an altruistic one, in helping people set up low-fi data-centers and edge-network nodes on commodity, low-power hardware.
No it wasn't. The same political sphere that's now complaining about how SJWs are ruining free speech had no problems black balling a large chunk of hollywood in the 50s for their private political speech.
It's not only the information about the thing OP is selling, it's also the information about blind people OP seems to be lacking.

Like, how can anyone state that "blind people aren't interested in this" seriously? Like there exists a bullet list of things that blind people like.
+1.
My personal choice: MAX038 (no relation with the 8038), way better than any similar analog wave generators but discontinued long ago and never upgraded.

I know there are cheap DDS chips, but they require filters and control logic. This one goes from 100 KHz to 20MHz with just a bunch of parts.
Be careful of those sold online however as they're all fakes; this chip was killed well over a decade ago. I'm not aware of any clones yet, though I would welcome them if on par quality wise with the original.

> It's really hard to tell the difference between what is genuinely offensive and what is not.

You can't have both "Free Speech" and "You Can't Say Anything Offensive" at the same time, because there is too much overlap. So you have to choose. The US constitution is pretty clear that "Free Speech" is the higher principle.
> How is the PR author supposed to fix it without complex Git commands? Error prone copy and paste?

Reclone from master (or the active branch if something else) to another directory, merge in their final changes, manually if needed, properly test the result, and sent a new PR with the cleaned up version?

(caveat: I've not used git in anger, there may be more to it than that, but I can't imagine much more)

I suppose who is responsible for dealing with cleaning up updates before merging them into the main project depends upon who wants it merged most: the PR submitter because they want a fix/change/other in upstream so they don't have to maintain their own fork, or the project maintainer because the update is more generally useful to other users or more specifically useful to the maintainer.

If you submit a badly arranged PR or other patch you are creating extra work for the project maintainer(s). Depending on the project and maintainer(s) this may be acceptable or, equally rightly, it may not.
I find that I tend to do very little interop nowadays, and it predominantly happens at the edges with things like database drivers, and so on.
i certainly don't forget. I've been watching Russia and China from a very safe position of privilege in the US for many years. The last time I really worried was when I used to post dumb stuff on usenet in college, but in retrospect, I was never really at risk.
I agree with your analysis, but I dont agree with the motivations. The issue is forced growth. Why exactly is it so important for Google to have a market share in China? As if they aren't dominating the internet enough already.
And because everyone buys the "we need endless growth"-myth, it is suddenly OK if Google sides with China because all they are doing is trying to grow. Aha. I tend to see things differently. They use the market share as an excuse to not care. As long as we put bussiness over everything, we can't really be surprised about corporations working against citizen rights.

Your first link doesn't actually support your argument at all. And Twitter doesn't affect the DSM, the ISD, or the worldwide medical consensus.

As I said, you're allowed to believe whatever you want. Science doesn't care about your feelings.
But sports, languages, hiking, etc. are all different activities. I'm already coding at work 40+ hours a week, the last thing I want to do when I get home is code even more.
"I'm a reliable remote worker but I know that's going to put people off, how to alleviate concerns here?"

Show, Dont' Tell.

Write. Start a Blog. I recently hired someone remote and one of the reasons was their blog (among other reasons). I could go through their posts and see how they think, their perspectives on stuff and skills in writing about it. The best way to market yourself is to distinguish yourself from others as much as possible. I am always amazed to find people who are freelancers/consultants but don't have a good online presence. Yes it is hard and yes it takes time. But that is the point.

So don't print business cards. Well ok print them but that should not be your priority. I run a business and I failed to print business cards so far (too lazy). But I still meet plenty of people online and in person. Start writing about whatever you know. It doesn't have to be perfect. It doesn't have to a scientific paper. Just write.

You mentioned sysadmin, cloud stuff, migration etc. Do you know how critical this stuff is for any business ? If you kick ass on this stuff, you already are ahead. But Show, don't tell. And no, there is no easy way. No one cares how good you are because no one knows.

EDIT: I forgot to add that I also recently hired another short term consultant for a gig. This will make them a few thousand bucks and I found them online through their website/blog AND they wrote an e-book on the subject. Easy win for that consultant since I emailed him saying "take my money".
Labor conscious writers mean nothing if their editors (and newspaper / website / whatever) owners disagree. Ultimately the wordsmiths need to get paid, too, and they write what gets them money -- which is what their bosses want to print.
Podcast startup Luminary’s co-founder steps down from chief strategy role
I read a bit about postmodernism recently. I think the difference between yourself/Scott and the 'X studies' traditions is that they're not into classically philosophical arguments like you're making here. It's all about implied power relationships, the identity of speaker and listener are as important, maybe more important, than the content.

Whereas for you and Mr SSC, the identity is to be studiously ignored in favor of only focusing on the argument, to treat it fairly.

So everyone is using wildly different metrics and then wondering why their interlocutors seem crazy.
'No credibility' suggests that he was not telling the truth. However, the facts you point out would also be consistent with someone who was motivated by revenge to tell the truth.
The last mammoths died on a remote island
One difference between and autocratic government and a democracy is the speed at which decisions can be made, and that’s what Blizzard, Apple, and the NBA are up against when having to choose who to appease.

The Chinese government can unilaterally shut them down while people in the U.S. need to organize and lobby and fight to get change, and then when change finally happens, it’s only half-baked.

I’m not saying an autocratic government is better, just making an observation.
That's not exactly what I'm saying. The "both sides" approach allows you to use that as evidence of neutrality.

I've never seen South Park as neutral. Its critique of American liberalism is surface level, its critique of American conservatism (whatever that means these days) was fundamental and ideological.

Moreover, I never saw the satire as much more than superficial. Which is fine, I always thought it funny but neither especially acerbic nor intellectual. I think leaning on that "neutral", above-it-all standpoint gave the show some credit that was somewhat undeserved.
You not giving them money wont hit their bottomline. However, you blaming them online and amplifying other people doing so is more likely to make them feel bad about it.
I mean they became successful by making Totally Not Warhammer: The Video Game and Totally Not Warhammer 40K. And I’m pretty sure those people are long since gone away from the company. Companies are like the Ship of Theseus. When every plank has been replaced, it’s not the same ship even if it looks like it is.
I don't get it. Why can't he just order from someone else that has an accessible website? I choose not to use lousy webapps for all sorts of reasons.
Of course! Pooh looks just like the Chinese president for life, after all.
This doesn't sound anything like a labor union
Aye. However, git.sr.ht doesn't aim to be your project's home page, but rather its git repo. Its design is optimized for its usage as such.

In the future, Sourcehut will have a project hub which is more suited to being the public face of your project, and will have static site hosting for your project website.
I find your first bullet odd. If anything, the point of the story is that debate is not good. It makes me wonder if he's having a serious change of heart about it, in fact.

On the third point, I don't think those issues are being presented as actually equally controversial, particularly not as being equally worthy of fighting over, but as things that people are equally likely to fight over anyway.
> It's very easy to tell others to do something a certain way with a condescending tone from behind your screen if you've got no stakes and don't have to do any of the work involved.

Isn't this exactly what you're doing here, condescendingly name-calling people and dismissing their opinions?
> A tight grip censorship dictatorship that has thrown dust in the world's eyes posing as softies while behind the scenes they amassed a lot of wealth riding West blindness.

The West was fooled by China playing softies? No, you're being far too kind. It's more like the West willfully turning a blind eye and selling out due to greed. This is what you get when capitalism is pushed to the extreme - "values" diminish until you're left with only "value in dollars". China understood this, and western governments/corporations played ball.
It seems account deletion is mysteriously unavailable at the moment for me due to 'too many attempts' and now my 2nd factor verification had been blocked :|

EDIT: nm, was on the wrong subdomain. Account removal requested & all my blizzard games gone. I hope they'll ask me why.
Blizzards statement about having an “investigation” into a “ rule” violation is very disingenuous. The rule is just they can ban anyone at their sole discretion that hurts their image.
Note that these counts include Nobel prize for peace which skews the ratings a bit.

If we looked at science and literature only the results would look different. Obviously, assuming the main point of this ranking is to measure a favourable ecosystem for science and literature.
"Write what you know" -- while not exactly bad advice -- is also better when not taken too rigidly. "Write what you believe" is better, I think.
This is why I love astrophysics. I assumed the supernova would obliterate any planet in the star's orbit.
"Free Speech only protects you from the government, not private companies who don't want to tolerate your hate on their platform"

I don't agree with this stance, but it is an oft-heard one defending companies who stifle speech (as long as the stifled speech was a far right Nazi website or anti-LGBT comments).

As we see, that stance is dangerous and extends to companies stifling politically inconvenient speech like "I support Hong Kong protesters".
Absolutely agree. The idea that we are anywhere close to being able to recreate a perfectly self-sustaining closed-loop ecosystem - do better than billions of years of evolution - is a little far fetched.

I think of Biosphere 2, where trees fell down because we didn't know that we didn't know that wind is required to make trees strong enough to support their own weight. I'm sure there's a lot more we dont know that we dont know.

But I mean more of a self-propagating civilization, a group of people learning to draw on the resources throughout the solar system to stay alive and raise the next generation. More about building a dynamic growing system than a perfectly balanced one. To raise a solar-system sized super-organism of humans. The space termite mound.
2018 is at the tail of dwindling UK North Sea revenues. Peak is long past. The UK could have achieved a fund with roughly comparable contributions to Norway, but obviously across a far higher population. UK and Norwegian production across the years of North Sea exploration has stayed pretty close to each other.

In theory with UK production ramping up a little earlier in the seventies than Norway, the same investment choices would have made a UK fund slightly larger than Norway's.

From a national perspective it would have been the much better choice to create a national fund in the sixties or seventies, rather than piss it away on nothing as the government actually did.
Is it just me or do are there a lot of developers who don't believe in the saying "One picture is worth a 1000 words"? Is it a Linux thing, something peculiar to developers in the Github era?

If you go to a forum such a the Lazarus forums, any announced projects show pics on the forum itself, or on the websites linked.

It makes me long for the bad old day so of windows when showing pics of your project was all the rage and still is.

This is not just in relation to Gio, but I see so many GUI projects on Github with nary a picture in sight.

Do their developers want those intrigued to go to the effort of setting up a development environment (if that succeeds) only to find that the project is half-baked mush of an apple pie?
I know a guy that codes for 40 hours. Goes home and codes. Spends other time preparing for conference talks. Goes to the bar and actually codes at the damn bar. This dude absolutely loves to code. I just do this for the money. I spend my free time with my wife and son.
>How pricey are they?

Hopefully not very. I used to work at a CD duplication place and we had 100's of them in giant robotic duplicator towers. They were the drive of choice for exactly these sorts of capabilities.

When we closed down I pitched them all into the dumpster because at the time I couldn't even get $5 each for them on ebay. It would hurt to discover that they are now a rare and expensive find!
Roughly every news article I’ve read about homelessness includes an interview with somebody who doesn’t like the rules at a local shelter and is, in some way, voluntarily on the street. I know the intention is to suggest that “build more shelters” won’t help everyone, but since it shows up in every single article, I think it gives people a very distorted view of things.
Doesn't npm allow a dev to replace or redact already released versions?
The ones listed as options for git mergetool are all good. Personally I use kdiff3, it has a simple interface for choosing conflict resolutions and can often resolve some of them on its own.
That drivel is for the public, the investors only care about the money they're making.
It's very limited, definitely. Usually limited to a few devices that people specifically build for.
I would argue that accessibility is already part of the ranking algorithm because accessibility and good UX go hand-in-hand.
Much of what is being said are opinions or interpretation not facts. And because they are controversial, and often connected to trauma,, people don't tend to broadcast them until a "crisis" like the current one encourages sharing stories and makes it safer to do so.

But view the video linked to in child comments to the one you're replying to, and draw your own conclusion about what RMS actually said and the context in which it was said.

My view is that the comment you're replying to describes an incident that grossly mischaracterises what actually occurred. There were problems, and there was an inadvisable sexual joke, and probably some women were probably put off contributing to OSS, and it echoed some aspects of misogyny taking place in the rest of their lives - workplace, home, everywhere.

Consider, at the same event, the person you replied to admits that someone thought what they were saying was problematic too (thus the yanking of the mic from their hand). So, at very least, there were strongly differing views at the time.

I think it's good that people, on occasions of heightened awareness like this, feel able to share their presumably long history of traumatic and unwelcoming experiences, in OSS and in society elsewhere.

The shit women (among others) have had to endure, and still do, continues to be awful, both in OSS and elsewhere.

But it's terrible that the same phenomenon involves people empowering themselves in groups by gathering to destroy other people from more or less the same "side", when the social errors being committed by each person are not that different from each other, and what I'd call the "real criminals" (rapists, abusive partners, abusive bosses etc) are strangely not targetted in the debate.

For a movement that is supposed to be based on high principles of inclusion, empowerment, and social justice, it's tragic to those principles made weak and breaking down, because people don't know how to apply them in situations like this.
I have a Gen 2, and there are some firmware warts, but it works reasonably well. Sadly, their new offerings all use Android, so now I have all of the hassles of a Phone (spying, out of date, etc.) in my mp3 player!

I just want a simple self contained mp3 player. If mine breaks, I think my next one will be an iPod loaded with Rockbox.
