Mono Neon - truly amazing electric bassist/guitarist. 900+ videos. For years he posted mainly videos of himself playing bass along with famous songs from many genres - soul, r&b, rock, funk, jazz etc. Lately it's mainly turning a minute or 2 of spoken-word video (like a politician, youtube vid, celebrity rant) into music, usually crazily hip and funky, him playing all instruments. Also has started making music videos of his own songs and posting video of his gigs. I really like his manifesto, and he certainly lives it. Extremely funny, creative, crazy, inspired and inspiring.

chess24 en español - I love chess commentary/banter blitz on St Louis Chess Club, chess24, Chess.com ES, etc but this is my favourite, especially anything with Divis and/or David Anton and David Lariño is a joy to watch. They play brilliant attacking chess and laugh a lot; excellent commentators too. Also it's good for my spanish!

I think the approach is fine for prototyping, but the architectural flaw that can make it a bad choice for production systems is that it ties your APIs to your data model. When you need to evolve your API or extend your data model, you get to choose between dealing with potentially massive data migrations and downtime, or having a third layer of glue in the form of database views. You probably would need to adopt a rule of no direct-to-table access, and a separate schema per API version containing views, and dealing with the pain of rewriting the views for all the supported API versions when you need to change your data model. Or scale the database horizontally, with views on foreign data wrappers that pull from the real data sources. Which I think this sort of solution is marketed as a way for a Database Administrator (singular) to expose an API, rather than a scalable approach to application development.
This is the essence of competition. Increasing demands on employers pushes people who want to/would be willing to work for less completely out of the market.
> Which is unfortunate, it is difficult being scientifically literate and progressive being surrounded by people "on your side" who are spouting the exact same kind of nonsense and lies as your opposition.

Tell me about it. I once talked to someone who says it's good that people are scaremongering on global warming because otherwise nothing might get done. They say there's no such thing as bad press, but I think it does science a disservice in the long term if perception is that it fails to deliver.
"Sure, people who are actually earning biscuits as a wage are basically slaves"

That is really an odd thing to say, even if people say it constantly as though it were obvious. What do you think the turnover is at minimum wage jobs? When you last went looking for one, how many different employers did you apply for? How far did you have to go to fill out applications for a bunch?
A lot of people just don’t get it. The US is the most powerful country in the word because of its technology and economy. Losing that will pretty much mean that others (likely non-democracies) will rule the world

Your failure to empathize seems like an odd thing to brag about. Even if you have plenty of memory available, you should be capable of empathizing with people who are short on it.
You can have insert/update trigger on views. You shouldn't but you can.

This sounds like you're suggesting no one had good wages, paid time off, etc... before these laws. Is that the case?
Thanks all, reading!
It adds many minutes on complex trees. That adds up fast if you’re doing just 60 builds a day.

Lockfiles are not just convenient, they are all but required for anything serious. You can’t have your dependencies break or change under your feet from one build to the next. Your builds need to be reproducible.

I’ll take all that over whatever conda has to offer any day.
Ok, that discussion made it clearer for me, and I am kind of behind @cciresi at that point:

They have a customer that required the personal data they'll give to Gitlab not be handled by people living in Russia and China. Could be a group doing humanitarian or journalistic work.

That's actually an interesting conundrum: you want to hire a company, need to trust it for handling sensitive material, and can't afford it to fall between specific states' hands.

I don't think there is an objective process to do that. I know that USA and France and probably many other countries have laws to authorize seizure of data they consider linked to a variety of vaguely labeled activities (from "trouble to public order" to "terrorism"). You may end up excluding 80% of the world if you use objective criterion there.
Sucks to have such a retarded Gov.

In the case of Chinese-based employees the assumption is that anything they did would go through Chinese Government controlled networks (there's VPN ban even for foreign businesses) and likely result in your intellectual property being shared with your Chinese-based competitors. Not to mention their access being potentially compromised and used.

If an Australian-based employee complied with a letter, they could destroy your business reputation when it got out, even if you threw them under the bus. Probably the main reason Australian employees are still given latitude is that committing compromised code into the codebase would require involving everyone who could possibly see that code change.
I’ve found this to be one of the biggest flaws of capitalism itself. It’s pretty clear that capitalism and humanity itself needs to invest in nurturing the next generation in order to sustain long term growth, labour supply, pensions (until full automation) and yet the very same system makes it hell for anyone to actually have any kids. Just sucking the present workers dry and harming both the workers and the system itself in the long term. Most people are left with just enough money and energy to have one kid and barely survive in their jobs while nothing suggests to me that things have to be this way. The end goal of the economy has to be in producing human flourishing and well being and not goods.

One of the best parts of Lisp is the slobber-proof syntax (except in a few well-known oft-complained-about cases). Another is that the hyperspec is published online.

Between the two, there isn't a whole lot of memorization needed. You can still tell a pro's code over a hobbyist, but it doesn't take all that long for the distinction to blur.

I guess practice is a form of memorization afterall.
I don't go out and actively memorize things, not do I know anyone who does. But the syntax you use often gets memorized nonetheless, simply through common use.
How does any of this help anyone?

It seems like it just creates a lot of inefficiency.

Well, she owned the policy in question, and there’s no way that the head of HR didn’t get wind of an escalation like this. I don’t know about the bit regarding a man below her getting their decision overturned, but ultimately she would have approved it. If a policy interpretation decision was “mistakenly” made before it got to her, she would have been able to overturn it, and evidently that never happened.

But yes, of course it’s speculation :)

No offense (I use Python all the time), but Python seems almost like the worst of all worlds, except for ease of use in the first month of using it -- with its only advantage being library inertia (which is a massive advantage in practice though).

As eg: here's an excellent talk on the cruft in Python internals by Armin Ronacher: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCGofLIzX6g

For more discussion on why Python is slow: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12025309

There is, after all, a graveyard littered with big-money attempts to speed up (mutually incompatible) subsets of Python.

But lack of inertia not something that should deter someone seriously invested (after all, Google/FB created Tensorflow/Pytorch respectively, and now Google might be getting behind Swift). It's a judgement call on whether one feels that most of the work/innovation still needs to be done, or is already done. If it is yet to be done, building on top of a better platform is almost a no-brainer.
Your stereotype seems directly opposite to the one of tech workers being right-leaning libertarians. If people opposite to you on the political spectrum hate them for opposite reasons, maybe people just envy the money and influence they have and everything else is an excuse.

No, she's a reporter, and wasn't confident enough to out the app without proof.
Because in the past, developers have obfuscated their use of private APIs rather than removing them. They are threatening to ban people who abuse the platform. They aren't going to ban anyone making an honest effort to eliminate their use of private APIs.
I don't get it. If you problem is too low capital gains taxes then just say that outright instead of hiding behind an inheritance tax that doesn't even achieve your goals.
> Microsoft didn't ban anyone for using undocumented private APIs because they couldn't, not because they chose not to.

Sure they could have, they had a code signing platform since the mid 90s and could have locked API access only to apps signed by them.

They didn't because it would have been pointless not because they couldn't figure out how.

It's pure insanity. In many parts of the world there is no divide between government and business. That's what these companies are competing against.
This seems to be tuned towards web applications; I'd add things like "overflow", "corruption", and "disclose".
Yeah, you've nailed it. If a spark plug manufacturer claimed that spark plugs added [insert amount] of value to the economy and claimed the entire amount of value cars add to the economy, everyone could and should call BS on that, despite the fact that without a spark plug, the car doesn't run. It's simply bad accounting.

Consider the exact same scenario at any non-remote company.

If Bob wants to move to China, where the company doesn't have an office, he's going to have to resign or take a leave of absence.

This decision on Gitlab's part would be moving their incredibly generous "you can work from anywhere you want except places where we legally can't let you like Crimea and Iran" to a nearly as generous "you can work from anywhere you want except places where we legally can't let you like Crimea and Iran, and places that are known to coerce people into spying for them like China and Russia".

Most companies operate on a whitelist of places where you can work (where they have offices), not a blacklist. Even many remote companies operate on a whitelist (e.g. "Remote, US only"). Really, I'm amazed they feel that they can operate on a black list approach at all and not accidentally violate tons of local laws.
Not everybody does that.

Getting the vaccine because you might decide to sleep around (oral or otherwise) is like carrying a weapon because you might decide to get in a fight. Rape exists, but so do murderous assaults. The logic that says you need this vaccine is the same logic that says you need to carry a weapon.
True. You have to decide what level of security is necessary for you. In some countries like China privacy from the government is basically nonexistent. In some like Australia backdoors are mandated by the government. In others like the US secret FISA courts exist and can demand data from companies and gag them at the same time. Off the top of my head I don't really know any ideal developed countries to do business in where privacy is concerned.

100% agreed - it’s completely bizarre that people don’t see this.
Of course you wouldn't be almost certainly infected. Some people don't have sexual relationships. Many people are in monogamous relationships.
The emotional complexities of "receiving a huge payout for the lost child" make me even more sure that employers shouldn't be getting involved in this. It's a deeply personal decision that people can have wildly differing views on. The last thing we want is businesses making these sorts of decisions for their employees.

Businesses aren't your parents. They shouldn't be involved in stuff this personal.

Comedy prison book– life hacks, slang, workouts, etc.
Hey HN! My name is Andrew Medal and below I'll explain why I wrote a comedy book about prison!

It's on Amazon if you'd like to get a copy: http://dontdropthesoap.co

With eight sections of engaging visuals, real-life stories, recipes, workouts, slang, and life hacks, Don’t Drop The Soap is a crazy, entertaining and dangerous ride that teaches you all of the wild $#*! about prison, you can’t learn on Netflix!

So, if you've ever wanted to know how to use Ketchup to make a quality box of prison Franzia , dazzle co-founders with hardened convict slang , or light a cigarette using a AA-battery and gum wrapper; well then this book is for you amigos!

I did the first-ever gourmet prison food popup in Venice, to bring awareness to prison reform, foster change and promote the book which generated a bunch of buzz:
️CBS feature: Venice Popup Invites Attendees to Eat Like an Inmate
️iHeart Radio feature: Ex-Con Opens Prison Food Popup
️FoodBeat feature: The Sugary Prison Pie That Inmates Make Behind Bars

I'm an ex-convict entrepreneur and angel investor. My work has been featured in Forbes, The Next Web, FastCo, The WSJ, Fox, Fox News, TIME, Entrepreneur, Inc., and others. I cofounded my first multi-million dollar company at age 24 (that hit eight figures in < 5 years), after raising $2.3 million-- but lost it all when I was sentenced to prison at age 28, for a fight I got into at age 22.

During my two years in maximum and eventually minimum security prison, I taught myself how to code without using the internet and only my #2 golf pencil and textbooks . Upon my release, I rebuilt tech companies using the skills I learned in prison.

️Even more exciting, my 10-week program that teaches inmates how to become entrepreneurs was approved. We launch next year (2020).

THE PRIMARY REASON I WROTE THIS COMEDY BOOK WAS TO BRING AWARENESS TO PRISON REFORM IN A UNIQUE AND FUNNY WAY AND HIGHLIGHT MY NEW PROGRAM.
You assume it isn't an honest mistake. Most people submitting electron apps won't have knowledge of the browser engine layer and its calls to Apple APIs and probably will have some difficulty assessing whether or not they have resolved the issue. That doesn't make them bad people. They are not malicious or trying to hide things. Apple's scripts should give them more chances until they get it right.
Well sure it's common but my question is whether that's the only reason. If we're going to down the path of declarative requests and the like, why not push it further like firebase has done? I'd prefer that a lot more if there was a self hosted/open source alternative.

Yep. I've migrated away from macOS after using it for a decade over to Linux, and the developer experience is first class.

UX is about cold efficiency and UI is touchy-feely.

There are no such things as “secret APIs”. By definition an Application Programmers Interface is the vendors promise to other developers that when you call it, it will have well defined results no matter if the implementation changes. Every modern programming environment has the concept of public and private methods either enforced by the language (with hacks to get around it) or by convention (prepending a function with an underscore)

The fact is that all of MS’s Office competitors early on wrote horrible GUI apps whether it be fir Windows or the Mac.

It is also worth pointing out that the GP's comment was showing the chemistry for a lime-based concrete. OPC (Ordinary Portland Cement) based concrete is substantially different in terms of the chemistry and the amount of energy involved in the manufacturing process (due to the increased amount of energy involved in producing the clinker).
Employers can't refuse to accept your resignation in Australia. Or rather they can refuse as much as they like but your resignation still holds.
I am not convinced that an app like that would share potential pregnancy data with ad networks, if there’s even such a channel to begin with. It would be good to have the app’s name, and investigate if this is reproducible.

Without that we’re just looking at very complex ad networks/algorithms and trying to reason about them without seeing thousands of signals they might be seeing. For example, age and other interests based on browsing history would’ve triggered this, too.

Antitrust law isn't a socialist idea; it's a capitalist one. The idea behind it is the standard neoclassical principle that markets achieve maximum efficiency, and therefore consumer welfare is maximized, when they are competitive. No less a capitalist than Adam Smith articulated these ideas when he wrote "people of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices."

I'm curious as to how Slack was/is still able to get updates out despite clearly relying on electron. Setting aside whether one agrees with Apple on this move or not, I would be outraged if they are playing favorites with a select few high-impact electron apps that they don't want off their store due to the associated bad press it would garner them.
Free markets only work if transaction costs are reasonable.

I actually agree with you that the fundamental purpose of government is to be a middleman, but that is the most important thing in the world!

All the time people want to talk about negative externalities - lowering transaction costs is the ultimate positive externality, and it doesn't get accounted for on anyone's books, so people get deluded into thinking there is no return on tax money.
