It indeed is unfortunate. But what other recourse did we have? The first objective, before we even consider donations or anything, is to make our software available and functional to our users. So we had to resubmit. And it's not like the resubmission process is instantaneous; as of writing, the app still isn't back in the store.

But anyway, now what? Let's say things return to normal, but we still want to put the silly link in the app. Our appeal was rejected. We could send letters, I suppose. Perhaps this article on HN will get the attention of the right people? We could appeal the appeal, maybe. And then appeal the appeal for the appeal. At what point does this become a waste of energy that could be spent coding and improving the app in other ways? It's hard to know where to draw the line and which battles are worth fighting. I'm happy to hear folks' opinions on the matter.

I certainly agree, though, that it is unfortunate.
The linked code uses read(), not getc().
The move toward a flatter perspective was deliberate and religiously motivated, in order to remove art from the potential for idolatry. It's why illuminated manuscript is such a big deal artistically and why there are so few sculptural works from the period as well.

There are parallels in Islamic art as well, where the artistic focus is on calligraphy and architecture as opposed to the more regular forms seen in the West before and after the medieval period.
They are two different mechanisms though, it could be that the swimming motion mechanism has a far smaller effect. Google tells me there are 360,000 sperm whales, that would make the combined effect of the swimming of all sperm whales similar to that of 60 km x 60 km of forest.
$50 sent, thanks Jason, no thanks Google.

A small amount relative to the value that you're giving to the world, but hopefully a few pints won't go amiss.

You would be hard pressed to elucidate a biological causation there.
Those are both checked luggage. Not briefly unattended luggage by someone who is in the bathroom. Where's the articles about unattended luggage?

Also you got 1955 and 1985. 64 and 34 years ago. Checked luggage wasn't even inspected back then. It is now. Still stuff gets through.

Are you arguing here that we shouldn't have checked luggage? Those are your examples. Checked luggage. Not unattended luggage, which almost certainly has already been inspected anyway when going through security. What now? Do we ban checked luggage and carry on luggage even after both have been inspected?

I love all the downvotes from the haters and the crazy supposed examples that prove my point for me. Facts and reality are not important. What's important is hysteria and fearmongering, and to shut up anyone that talks rational sense or is interested in a reality based approach to threat management.
>The only reason the second speaker would say "When I see xyz on the floor" is because she has seen it before and that feeling happens every time. It's not as explicit as "you always", but it still implies a recurring and reliable event.

Hmm yeah, I agree that including that information (but more precisely than "you always") is useful here.

>I am curious that the social trend comes to you as a priority in "it's disgusting", that's not a perspective I would see.

Okay, disgusting socks may not be the best example, because it's pretty clear cut that leaving them in the open is not an acceptable roommate behavior. Can't think of something better right now. Maybe something like stereotypical "leaving the toilet seat up" or "hanging the toilet paper towards the wall or not"? thing is, that framing the discussion in terms of what is acceptable or not is a roundabout and, frankly, manipulative, by elevating personal view to an objective fact.

>You are burying the point by saying observations about feelings are facts.

At the end of the day, feelings are physiological reactions that have already happened. One can discuss whether one side should change, or the other should suck it up next time.

>It could very well be true from the first speaker's observations Felix always does leave his socks out.

That's not a feeling, that's an extrapolation from a mental model, that can't possibly hold in the real world. This leaves Felix no real recourse outside of some pointless back-and-forth.

>I mean that's all well in good in a normal social atmosphere

I think it's the entire point of NVC. No one in their sane mind suggests talking like that to a mugger or thief (though any other kind of talking would be equally ineffective).

>For better or worse one could draw the parallel between that political idea and this book.

Well I didn't notice that parallel before. I don't think the whole idea should be thrown under the bus because of it in any case.
Nice, compressed LLVM overview...
I see this as sort of the main riddle (or catch-22 if you're the pessimistic type) of life. The semi-unrealistic hope of optimism is what motivates us to get things done.

For the HN crowd, consider startup founders. The vast majority of startups fail, yet virtually all founders go into it overestimating their chances of success. After all, if they were realistic about their chances, they'd find the whole business too crazy to begin with.

> strongly avoid LSD (or psychedelics) if you have any tendencies towards anxiety/fear/worry

Not true at all in my experience. Psychedelics are currently studied to alleviate phobias and anxieties and seem to be quite successful at it. My experience matches that. Set and setting is the most important thing in this regard.
Well put, I thought about the same thing but I was not able to formulate it like this.

Who pays for it?

The companies, people, organizations, and countries who profited from mispriced costs which did not factor in externalities like the likely need to relocate most of the population of Miami?

How much should those companies, people, organization, and countries be penalized for committing fraud to suppress the true costs?

What is the cost of the emotional distress of being forced to move because of generations of pollution by others?

Or, are those who need to move the ones who bear most of the cost?
> There seems to be an unhealthy obsession with beating C in some corner of the Haskell community.

I think it's about the same for pretty much any language in the "statically typed, compiled" camp. You'll see "faster than C" claims for Rust and Go as well, for example.
Take a moment and consider this quote by the late Amos Tversky about his view on pessimism:

"When you are a pessimist and the bad thing happens, you live it twice,' Amos liked to say. 'Once when you worry about it, and the second time when it happens."

This is a rational explanation for why anyone ought not succumb to pessimism.
> Twitters rules are heavily ideologically driven, for instance misgendering is against their rules

You call that ideological, but presumably wouldn’t call Twitter prohibiting calls for genocide ideological. They’re obviously excessively far apart on a continuum, but I’m curious how you’ve decided where to draw your line? Racial slurs? Calls to murder doctors who perform abortion? Promotion of cannibalism? Incitement of violence against the LGBT community? How have you decided misgendering is ideological and (I’d hope) decided that the others are obviously unacceptable?
Dangerous, dystopian BS. Redefining the word violence. Literally Newspeak, 1984. Kill it with fire. Even better, with actual violence.
That's such weird reasoning. You spend over 1k (3k in my case) to get the latest version of a premium brand laptop, but can't afford the cables? Those cables cost $2-5 each on AliExpress. If that's too much, you definitely shouldn't be spending over 1k on a laptop.

Also, there are usb-c to lightning cables, so I'm not sure why you think you need an adapter.

I forgot about bash.org - there goes 2 hours. Well spent.
The previous article spoke about learning enough Haskell to write useful programs. It didn’t speak about learning enough Haskell to do performance optimization. I don’t think there exists a language where it’s enough to learn the surface language in order to write optimized code.

Also, the previous article recommends newcomers to use the “Strict” language extension, which would avoid the exploding memory usage of the second version (“simple-fold-wc”).

The problem with the word "hierarchy" is that most people conflate very different concepts when talking about whether it is or isn't necessary.

Anarchism doesn't say there should be nobody in charge, just that authority should be as limited as possible and only seen as temporary and conditional.

Nation states centralise power. Even supposedly democratic nation states routinely follow policies the majority of their citizens disagrees with. Even disregarding the problems with first-past-the-post election systems, individual voters or even voter blocks have hardly any way to have their views represented or hold their representatives immediately accountable.

Capitalism exacerbates this problem because it consolidates wealth and at scale (think billionaires, not millionaires) that wealth is equivalent to political power, allowing individuals and corporations to control politicians and thus policy, both by directly influencing individual politicians and by influencing public opinion to place "their" politicians in positions of power.

Democratic Confederalism for instance embraces a communalist "free association" model of autonomous neighborhoods collaborating as communities and so on. Ultimately you still end up with federal super-structures but all power rests at the base rather than the top.

The usual counter argument is "that is nice, but this can never work in practice" or "this can't scale" but in practice it does. Look into the Mondragon Corporation (a coop of currently ~75k workers) or the political structure of the Autonomous Administration of North East Syria (Rojava).

Another typical argument is that they don't look very different from the outside or are practically identical with the current systems if you squint really hard and tilt your head sideways: that is intentional. The differences become apparent when there are conflicts of interest or other times of crisis.

> Solaris was essentially the reference implementation.

Interesting, I always thought that AT&T SVR4 was the reference implementation, and that Solaris was the Sun hybrid that was basically AT&T SVR4 with the BSD compatibility added to support legacy SunOS applications.

Yes I was aware that both AIX and HP-UX were originally SVR3 based, and my experience with both of those showed that they were very inconsistent with each other (eg. AIX 4.1 through 4.3, vs HP-UX 10.0, 11 etc).

> SVR4 finally started to heal the rift between ATT and BSD systems. It made Unix applications radically more portable.

Agree and this is one of the reasons that I liked it - it feels like an earlier attempt at creating a "standard" much as Linux is considered today, albeit a fairly closed source one by modern considerations. Of course I wasn't there at the time, but my first UNIX experiences as a teenager were on XENIX, so that probably coloured my perception somewhat.
BTW, as a non-english native having "sign in" and "sign up" is a bit confusing. It took me a couple of seconds of thinking to know which one to click.

I do front-end, and didn't realize of this until now that I was on the receiving end.
I'm similar, but perhaps for less positive reasons.

Being able to work from home if I need to is nice, and I sometimes take advantage of it, but generally I like to be in the office so I can have a better idea of what is going on.

This is partly paranoia due to astonishingly (often deliberately) terrible communication under a previous regime where for instance I discovered my own line manager was leaving two days before he did by overhearing it mentioned in a conversation between people who worked on a completely different project, though even now under a much better environment I feel being in the office keeps me better abreast of things I need to know, before it becomes an emergency that I don't know them.

It also creates opportunities for unplanned collaboration whereby I hear a problem that I can help with, saving others time banging their heads against it, and sometimes works the other way around for me too.

And contrary to many of the other anecdotes here, I have far more attractive distractions at home than my colleagues could hope/fear to provide for me! Though maybe that speaks more about my will-power than it days about my work & home environments...

I can think of a few contenders for best pizza that I have had (mostly in Italy) - but the worst was undoubtedly a ghastly slice of horror that I purchased at the big conference centre in Atlanta - the pizza topping had been burnt and this was remedied by heaping on more cheese and mystery meat to obscure this fact.
Wayland compositors have to use lower-level APIs like libdrm, in order to be handle clients using OpenGL, OpenGL ES, Vulkan, libva and other hw-related APIs, all at once.

Wayland clients don't have to. For OpenGL, OpenGL ES there's EGL, for Vulkan, it's the other way and Vulkan provides extensions for WSI (window system integration).
I too made a "fuck Google" donation to the WireGuard project today, after seeing an update and then the app disappearing entirely.

I'd love to use the F-Droid version but it's not up-to-date, and isn't published by Jason, so it's not signed by him either.

Publishing it on the website with a built in update-check might be one solution I'd be happy with, it'd only need a text file hosted on the website and a check, perhaps each time WG is activated to see if there is an update. Modern Android versions can be toggled to allow installing software from external sources, so the app could "install itself".
Donations are not supported by in-app purchases, and I'm sure this doesn't mean open source apps are not allowed to sustain themselves by showing a donation link. Or if that is Google's unwritten policy, people must make their voices heard, this abusive behavior cannot be accepted.

I would resubmit the app with the donation link and continue to document and share what happened. Please do not allow them to set a precedent with a popular project like WireGuard.

It's important to share every detail of the issue, the messages you received, your replies, and the policy links you were given about the alleged policy violations.
Good point, Waitrose have obviously gone downhill, interestingly Tesco seem to have made the same mistake [1].

As counter examples I've found references the char sui chicken [2] and venison [3]. But I think you're right that it started off as pork, and not chop suey.

It's not a contactless payment, it's a bank transfer. The person who found the wallet sent payments of £0.01 to the owner. When you make bank transfers you can include a short payment reference which can be any text you want, and it appears on the other person's statement.

The UK has the Faster Payments Service which enables most bank transfers to be completed in a few seconds, so they would have seen the messages immediately as soon as they logged into their bank account to freeze the lost card.

That seems reasonable to me. I've often found optimism in others to be foolish. And for bipolar me, extreme optimism is a sign of hypomania.

But there's a lot more to depression than seeing the world realistically. There's a tendency to feel inadequate, hopeless and disempowered. And there's more to that than seeing oneself and ones capabilities realistically.

One aspect is failing to break out huge problems into manageable pieces.
What items? Drugs and bombs that someone managed to sneak past security already? In that case isn't the real problem improper inspection? What if the proposed mad bomber, after having successfully managed to sneak all these explosives past security, and hoping to transfer the explosives from his own suitcase to that of a stranger on a specific flight who went to the bathroom, in plain view in front of everybody sitting there waiting for that flight to board, finds that no one has gone to the bathroom without their luggage on that day? Wouldn't that ruin his plan? Not a great plan to be relying on someone on a specific flight going to the bathroom and a whole room full of people somehow not noticing a guy openly transferring an entire suitcase full of explosives from one suitcase to another. Wouldn't one of the other passengers waiting for the same plane at this point say hey wait a minute, this dude here is transferring a bunch of explosives from one suitcase to another! Maybe I should say something!

Yeah that's the argument. Someone's gonna plant the explosives while I'm in the bathroom.

You know what? That's never going to happen, it's never happened, and it's a crazy thing to imagine would ever happen. It's just hysterical paranoia and fearmongering to go on about someone planting a suitcase full of explosives in another suitcase in plain view of everyone during a few minutes when some guy is in the bathroom.

This fear and paranoia is actively harming society. Parents won't let their children walk to school or a friends house or play in the yard because they are convinced the children will be abducted by a mad kidnapper. So their kids become waddling obese paranoid kids fixed on their screens, depressed, miserable, high blood pressure, having been raised in a culture of fear, years shaved off their lives from the stress.

All these irrational things, none based on facts or reasonable threat assessment, are actively harming society, and the people pushing this fear are doing it intentionally. But to what aim?
I wish I knew enough to appreciate this joke.
My friend who was in art-adjacent school did had to do huge amount of technical exercises. It is just not true that artists nowadays don't learn fundamentals. They do, plenty of them both directly relevant to what they will do and not relevant. Pretty much all art schools spend a lot of time on it.

Not the same ones as you would pick perhaps.
As per someone else's comment, everyone can have a bad day. I try not to judge people I don't know (unless there are repeat stories, then it's hard not to).

I agree with this but I still think it is a bad name. Maybe something like non-aggressive communication would fare better?
It's amusing - I feel it's almost like causing a media "storm" is part of the whole "AI powered" process they've got going on. Create Reddit/Hackernews/tech blog outrage and maybe a human might step in and reverse the decision.

You can look at r/videos and see how many examples there are, the link in [1] provides quite a few...

So hey, go get people to repost across social media, maybe get a nice trendy hashtag going like #freewireguard and maybe their "AI" (or PR department) might actually do something useful.

Because to me, I've noticed more and more companies only reverse decisions or backpeddle once there's enough shit flying at them (See Blizzard recently, for example).

I don't see how that is relevant. Yes, given that the US has a bigger population (roughly 13 times bigger), it must spend more money in total on bus trips to/from school than Australia does; but, it also has a much larger economy (roughly 14 times bigger) with which to pay for those bus trips.
I don't think that's clear. CCP have grown the economy in China massively. That's why Chinese are so patriotic. Could be that Lebron is drinking the Kool Aid.
I don't think it's a strange comparison. Cloud providers offer a combination of services that do lock you in and don't lock you in. If you are using EC2 and SSH in to screw around with Linux, you are going to be fine if you get a better deal from GCP. If all of your deployments are managed by a CloudFormation stack and custom scripts that speak the AWS API, you are never going to be able to move. (This is not unique to AWS, of course! Everyone has their value-adds.)

A lot of the lock-in is historical. Before there was Kubernetes, there was ECS. I am sure a lot of people embraced containerization and not managing individual machines early, and are now stuck on Amazon's proprietary platform.
