I've learned that people hardly ever want advice. Mostly, they want you to tell them that everything is okay.

The hard thing to square is, if you really care about someone, and you really think you have some input that could help them, you need to figure out how to communicate that without annoying them / hurting their feelings.

It's also important not to have an ego when giving advice / input. It's likely that you're not perfectly correct.

Netflix will play a 720p version if you don't have a DRM supported browser. Also netflix distributes native apps to all platforms, which means you don't need chrome to use netflix in full fidelity on any device except maybe linux?
When you control the webview, you can establish fairly strong limits on where content and code can come from, same as with CSPs. Injection into the context really shouldn't be possible. You'd need to hit some kind of exploit such as an image-parsing buffer overflow, which any other frontend technology would be vulnerable to. Given that web tech gets a lot of attention to avoid those kinds of exploits, I think web platform UIs might be the safer call.
For the rest of us on the spectrum, which organization has helped you so much? If you're not going to share, then what's the point of even commenting at all?
The presumption was that it's sexist to assume you can't talk code with young women. I don't want to talk code with anyone 99% of my off time. But to say the reasoning is sexist is untrue.
No, that's not true.

Due to trade agreements US companies have to follow EU law, for EU citizens, even of those companies don't have a presence in the EU.

> I hope it demonstrates that Go can be a viable alternative to C as a systems programming language.

Are you kidding me? This is nothing close to a systems programming language. This isn't much of a comparison at all. wc is a very simple case that doesn't match the complexity of real-world programs. Go comes close here because you're not using the high-level abstractions and that make it useful in the real world. GNU coreutils also tend to focus on having tons of features (compared to BSD/busybox/plan9/other), which can slow them down. If you really want to get competitive, I bet an AVX-512 implementation would be fastest, and that's more doable in C, but this is a bogus comparison in any case. It's just people doing this because they like a specific language.
All of the RS232 (serial i/o) VDUs had hardware handshaking. A common problem was that some serial cables lacked ALL the wires required. i.e. the bare minimum serial cable has only 3 wires (ground, in, out). Cables with more wires have greater capabilities (handshaking, modem control,etc,etc).

This comment made me think about how uneven the expectations are about whether data is owned by the person who collected it or the person who it was collected about.

I think most people would agree that if you take a photo of someone who agrees to you taking it, you own the rights to that photo. But if a company collects data about someone voluntarily using that company's product, the person owns that data? I don't understand where the line is drawn.
> I don’t think users should be expected to know how to edit their hosts file to preserve their integrity.

Ok, that's fair.

> Nor do I think they can be expected to read the ToS (get real).

I am being real. ToS and Privacy Policies can be, and often are, legally binding. Do I expect people to read them? No. Are they legally subject to whatever they agreed to, regardless of whether or not they actually read it? Yes. The user agreed to the contact. They clicked the damn button. They can deal with the consequences of their haste and/or stupidity.

> I want regulation to ensure that idiots cannot agree to ToS that endanger their information or integrity.

That's a bit different than what your originally wrote, which seemed to be less like a desire for regulation to address this and more like a a desire for a new ToS between FB and you, a singular end-user.

FWIW, I'm also a proponent of the GDPR and CCPA. But I also don't think people can just scot-free break or circumvent contacts they agreed to. Where is the personal accountability for the user? It can't just _not_ exist.
social (left|right) != economic (left|right). But you know that.

Ok, but it's the convention here not to post entire sentences in uppercase, even if they appeared that way in the original. It's the same with titles; some titles are typeset in uppercase, or come from older documents where that was the convention.

I've watched first hand how much QWERTY-labeled keys with Colemak layout confuses people. Dvorak people usually figure out things are weird in one or two keys, but Colemak intentionally has enough coincidences with QWERTY that it can take people a while to figure it out depending on what they are trying to type, and the frustration is possibly more rewarding to watch as they try to get grips with how "broken" your keyboard must be.

When did being able to access / sell to a private marketplace become an entitlement of public accommodation?

If the Supreme Court rules in favor of this then by all means go ahead and assert this. I personally don't believe the iPhone App Store (or any other app store) yet rises to the level of a forum of open public access and certain pricing in the name of public good.

You are perfectly free to develop apps and sell them elsewhere.

I’m curious because the article doesn’t mention the core reasons that you chose to write your own CD tool versus the other options that exist. The workflow you describe seems readily available in most tools. Perhaps the throughput was causing other options to break?
that is law and common practice on money fraud. Banks never tell the reason why your account got blocked because that would give bad players clues on how to prevent it.
Sure, but I think our points are missing each other. Mine is that claims of HN's ideological bias are notoriously in the eye of the beholder. Once people run into a few things they dislike—which is inevitable—they imprint on the idea that the community is biased against them. There's nothing objective about it, and all sides do it. I wouldn't say all users do it, but I suspect the more ideologically committed you are, the more you are likely to. That is, it depends on the magnitude of one's ideological vector, but not the direction. I wrote about this yesterday if anyone cares: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21577584
> WebKit is an open-source web engine that allows Apple to enable improvements contributed by third parties. Instead of having to supply an entirely separate browser engine (with the significant privacy and security issues this creates), third parties can contribute relevant changes to the WebKit project for incorporation into the WebKit engine.

All other big browser engines are open-source too, but let's not mention that bit.
We had a very similar situation with my father-in-law earlier this year, unfortunately though, he never did wake up from the induced coma. He died.

The biggest takeaway for me was to learn CPR and PRACTICE it every year (through re-certification). My father-in-law went without CPR for ~9 minutes- basically pegging his chance at survival to 0. Who knows what the outcome would've been if someone who knew CPR was present to start immediately.

Seriously, get certified and practice CPR techniques. It could save a life one day.
The drifting you describe would pretty much never happen. The chance of outputting wrong code that affects self-compilation without breaking self-compilation, that then repeats? Very very small. And the compiler's already being used to compile itself all the time, so you're also testing some of the most-tested code.

Then what is a good basis for a relationship? A shared interest in ubiquitous interests like food, blockbusters or travel? I don't think that is much better.

You should try normal cause I have never seen these on the normal release version.
If a friend/coworker shares something that they're sad/angry about, sometimes they're not asking for advice. Sometimes they just want someone to relate to them and their struggles. #3 can sometimes be a detractor because, once again, you need to wait for them to ask for advice and not just come in with your own advice/assuming that they are even asking for help.

I feel like the human rights angle might add enough political capital to the economic argument (that we should have used 50 years ago) to stop the fucking CEOs from mortgaging the country's economic future for an extra zero on their bonus checks.

TVs should cost $5000, washing machines $2500, etc... that will create a domestic repair industry, be better for the environment, create skilled jobs that don't require college, and improve our national self-sufficience and thus security, and deprive a totalitarian government of revenues.
I think the grey text is something else -- like if it was already visited before or you upvoted it or something. I checked on two different browsers and it was gray on one but not on the other, so who knows.
Looking at that tool, though, it has some obvious problems in how they are summarizing the data. That tool only looks at salary one year out vs. total debt. That makes some professional degrees (like dentistry) look horrible when they are actually good investments, because these degrees require essentially apprenticeships (e.g. internships/residencies) where early pay is very low but subsequent pay (say for a cosmetic dentist) can be extremely high.
> he price for an iPhone could go from ~850$ to ~2000$[2]. Now imagine that this happens for every good that is produced largely in China and think again if bringing back a few ten thousand jobs is worth the total loss of consumer welfare in the states.

And it wouldn't matter one whit, because 90% of the expenses of the average American aren't going into buying consumer goods.

They go into buying transportation, medicine, education, food, and housing (With the price of housing rising to consume all of the middle class's economic surplus). None of those things are made in China.

Housing is the most fun one, because no matter how much people save, the price of houses rises to eat all of those savings. The only reason for why a house can cost a million dollars, is that people have saved that amount of money up. If that money weren't there, housing prices would be lower.
In fact it looks like it is also webcomponents.

What a great time in history to witness the twin revolutions in AI and Genomics. There is really no end to where your intellectual curiosity can take you. If you harbor more of a EE type personality you can explore SynthBio and creating "living machines". If interested in the roots of human intellect and consciousness, Brain Science and Neuromorphic computing architectures might be of interest. If you are practically minded and focused toward a career after graduation then supplement your coursework with an intro to Cloud Life Sciences by seeking to master Variant Transforms type genomic querying tools. And if you are deeply theoretical and considering a long career in academic research newly emergent fields such as Quantum Bio, which encompass not just the quantum mechanical perspective in the life sciences, but also quantum advantages in drug discovery.

Personally, if I were in your shoes, looking out to a 2 year plus timeframe for when you graduate. And this may sound either a bit cliche or forward thinking depending on your worldview. At the very least get an introduction to "blockchain applications in healthcare". Startups like Nebula Genomics are using applied cryptographic techniques to keep genomic data private and return its inherent value back to its original owner.

Best of luck ;)

Good to hear, that’ll make change management less of a chore.

I think the main thing that was missing for me is the rationale behind building this system rather than building a workflow in one of the existing CI/CD tools. Was there a throughout bottleneck in existing tools? Was there something custom about your workflow that wasn’t supported elsewhere? I may be wrong but the workflow you landed upon seems pretty common so I’m curious as to why the need to build and maintain a tool in house for this?
No employee non-compete? I'm surprised.

Good advice. Sometimes people clarify situations by talking about them, and simple active listening can provide what's needed.

If sympathy is what they want, and you start offering solutions, they will be tempted to argue back about why the solutions won't work, and then (as the saying goes) you have two problems.
Stadia's launch seems troubled. I'm expecting pivots as they search for their audience. It seems like a logical step for mobile gaming, but taken a bit too far.

I think games could just be "stadiafied" the way many apps are just "electronified", where the consumers don't need to care how it's all implemented. A game could be designed around the major graphical elements being streamed while leaving the UI local. That could open up a lot of new ideas and make game dev easier.

Stadia as it is now seems like the right solution to the wrong problem, but I hope it pivots around and finds some good niches instead of going the typical Google route when things don't immediately work out.
Dwarf Fortress taught me to always import bismuthinite and cassiterite stones on embark, along with willow logs.

Real history shows that tin mines were a major strategic asset for pre-steel civilization, and Devon and Cornwall on Britain had the oldest and deepest mines in the world, and continued working after other European sources were exhausted.

Even if you know how to make steel, making types suitable for non-specialty work in significant quantities was difficult until smelting technology upgraded to the Bessemer process, and the types of available steels meant that a lot of cannons were still cast bronze. On a historical scale, it is only very recently that newer steel alloys and mass-produced aluminum has obsoleted bronze for just about everything but cymbals, certain corrosion-resistant fittings, and yellowish coinage cladding.

The focus is on the person, not the problem they are describing. So the question is what they need as evidenced by their choice to talk about the problem, not what they need as evidenced by the existence of the problem itself.

In other words, a choice to talk about a problem can be fueled by several possible impulses - the need to solve the problem, the need to connect with their friend, the need to share the interesting complexity of the problem, etc.
You are correct, they are pretty low level. You want something like lit-element or stencil (or vue, svelte... etc) on top of them for a pleasant experience.

A fair platform provider would not compete with the businesses on its platform, they would be an unbiased referee. Platform providers are able to snoop on the behavior of their users, unlike any other businesses. So they have an unfair advantage when they compete. If we continue to allow platform providers to publish products on their own platforms we are moving away from fair market competition. Business platforms, like investment exchanges, should be regulated.
> Perhaps we understand the fundamentals so well that we can truly say an algorithm today can hold up in a QC world - I have no idea, that certainly sounds bold, but we do already have purported 'quantum hard' algorithms.

We don't have any theoretical proof that we can even encrypt against classical computation. It's still technically an open problem if P=PSPACE (as well as P=NP). All encryption (quantum or not) would be broken if we could effectively solve PSPACE-hard problems.

So really, nobody can truly say any encryption can hold up anywhere. But we still usually have a good idea of the truth of things simply based on empirical evidence - we don't think anybody is proving P=NP, much less P=PSPACE. We don't think people are going to crack our best classical encryption without brute force.

There's not as much empirical evidence that our current quantum encryption will hold up, which is the point of the assertion "it's hard to predict what people will actually do [with shor]"

The key point is the top-down approach. Many programmers come up with their abstractions by thinking "what can I make?", but it's often better to think "what do I want to make, and in a perfect world, how would I want to express that?", and going down from there.

Because making broad assumptions about 50% of the population isn't a cool thing to do. Especially given the excessive amount of nonsense women in tech (and not in tech) have to deal with on a daily basis. Talk like this leads to women feeling excluded from the tech community.

Also, specifically calling out "young women" as not being interested in tech really makes a lot of assumptions. Generally, people will talk about most topics - even if they aren't passionate about those topics themselves. Most women I know will happily talk about tech stuff with me, so maybe your approach is wrong.
