I agree with the content of your message, as I have seen it happen many times myself first-hand, but I disagree with the way you're framing the phenomenon.

> My favorite Tweet ever was someone who described this process that dudes do where they show up, take over a hobby, and drive all the fun out (and thus women) as "MENTRIFICATION". It is my new favorite word.

I believe that this is a loaded word that does nothing but churn the online gender conflict machine propagated by places like (surprise) Twitter. It doesn't highlight a type of person as the cause, it highlights a gender. The Meaningness article concerning "mops", the "mop invasion", and the "sociopaths" that follow[0] is overall a more accurate representation of what happens when a hobby, craft, or culture is co-opted like this.

So I'm ready for the downvotes, but its worth it. I don't think it is generally good to look for divisions and more ways to separate from the whole. I don't know if that is because you're out somewhere in super woke SF or similar but you've already used terms like "LatinX" and "person of color" like someone who is already woke but maybe stop for a sec?

Why don't you see yourself as a person who likes CS/tech and likes doing XYZ things with ABC tools? Or maybe believe for a brief second that the "caucasian American", is probably thinking about what show to watch on Netflix rather than some shitty thoughts about how you don't fit in.

I also would be willing to be my bottom dollar that Google of all places doesn't feel like a small town in Sweden. I'm willing to bet there are way too many Asians (yellow and brown) for that to be true.

Also, seriously wtf is LatinX? Seriously.

<--- this author is also an immigrant from that small country north of Peru.
Built-in regularization, probably, plus cross-validation. These techniques aren't new; they're included in a number of ML libraries already - just not at this level of automation.
You guys are insane.

You signed something at work that "all data in google owned devices are property of google". Period.

This is the same as using your company-provided computer for something else.
You say that like that's the easy part of ML.
This is what terrifies me about Discord, as well as the fact they store all their logs in plaintext. AFAIK it is impossible to delete logs in Discord and any new user joining a channel gets access to all the back history of chat, so it's even worse than IRC.
Consensus and common goals aren't groupthink.

Groupthink is specifically about when people stop thinking individually, and take the group's position to be correct-by-default. Consensus and common goals can be achieved without that assumption.

Groupthink, in software architecture, happens when we can no longer question the basis for a design or assumption. Perhaps the design made perfect sense once, but now we're trying to scale to 1000+ servers, not just 5-10. Communication overhead is killing us, groupthink promotes (for too long, ultimately to the detriment of the business and its customers) the idea that the architecture is beyond question. Consensus and common goals are different. If the architecture is limiting the business, then that can be an agreed upon idea, but not actionable yet. Maybe we realize that other things need to be addressed first (our build system, CI/CD pipelines, testing systems) in order to make architecture updates even feasible.

Groupthink would deny even addressing those concerns because they still won't accept that the architecture is limiting the business.

A move like that will actually undercut labor much more, and not just tech labor. It will cause huge outsourcing to Canada(which is already happening to some extent) and to places on the other side of the world. Given that 100 IT jobs create about 30 non-IT jobs supporting them, it's going to hurt the local economy. Once entire teams are built in other countries, companies would prefer hiring new workers there just to keep communication overhead low, forget about the lower cost.
That sounds like it would prevent competent people from regulating.

Better would be to prosecute people who conspire to harm others by intentionally distorting policy. That's how literally all the other legal stuff seems to work.
I use FF for both, only using Chrome to test and debug cross-browser. I haven't really found I needed anything more than FF offers for JS debugging, but I guess you can't miss what you don't know.
There's almost certainly a large enough number of people googling "Contoso" to merit a wikipedia page on its own. Sort of a microsoft-specific (active directory training material, etc) version of this:

Perhaps for people in the know, this is obvious - but the term "yearly" or "year-over-year" would have been very handy if included in your original comment.
I'd respectfully disagree that that is the only difference. I've been through the BMC payment flow and would much prefer to use theirs over the competitor mentioned above. I wasn't even referring to the pricing model, although you're right, that is another difference too.
What does the performance comparison mean on this page? Does it mean a similar vCPU count A2 instance is ~40% faster than an Intel based M5 one? Or is the 40% improvement mainly through higher core count?
Right, AutoML != AGI.
In case your comment is about the frequency of announcements rather than the subject I just wanted to mention AWS is having their main yearly conference this week so they will be announcing many new services and features.
I've not run into too many issues with IRC servers being blocked, but nothing is going to block IRC over SSL running on a non-standard port anyways.
Whenever I've used functionality like this before, the inevitable problem is the string ends up with nulls in it, meaning C and the library disagree on the length of the string, which inevitably causes problems and corruption.

How do you handle this?
This was a long time ago (7-10 years), but 1and1, Hetzner, OVH, HostGator, LiquidWeb did not allow IRC hosting. They were the cheapest, tbf. I only use Linode now, haven't looked into it.
Politics is the negotiation of power, and the degree to which power is not relevant in your life is the degree to which politics is irrelevant. As for water politics, water is a matter of power and it's scary. But refusing to discuss the relationship between power and water does not make things any more or less ideological.

The failure to discuss power doesn't make things any more or less political, either. It just makes you mute.
Hope you're not connecting it to any internet-connected device (PC, console, etc) either because most HDMI cables nowadays have pins to carry an ethernet signal as well.
The giant image on that page seems to be obscuring the Ko-Fi side of the table.

As an outsider it is kind of "creepy" (cannot think of a better word) that employers are involved in their employees healthcare at all. As this article makes clear there's a huge conflict of interests that will result in employees health needs being placed relative to what best serves the employer.

But this isn't isolated just to "on-site clinics." Employers also have a motive to fire employees that are costly on self-funded insurance schemes (even if it is illegal), or to send employees to employer contracted "workers comp clinics" who seemingly exist to protect the employer from liability rather than treatment.

Why is employment and healthcare intermingled at all in the US? It has caused nothing but problems, hurts competition ("free market" where you cannot pick your own insurance provider), hurts people, and adds needless complexity to an already needlessly complex system.
I think this is a fair ask, unfortunately I made my setup for me and it's not exactly designed to be packaged/reused, but I linked my configs (in tarball format) here: https://0x0.st/zl_O.tbz2

What you're requesting is actually the normal way most of the people I talk to use IRC. I have a highlight buffer[0] script which keeps a history of all the times I get mentioned, and weechat supports libnotify so if your desktop is able to get pop-ups then you will be notified on highlight. (I use dunst for this).

There are also Quake-like terminal emulators that drop down on hotkey- these are also quite common and can make it really easy to just check what's going on when you have a spare second.

I will write a blog post about how to achieve my setup for linux users since there seems to have been mild interest. And I'll do some work on packaging it up so it's easy to take the bits that people like. I am using a fair number of plugins though.

this is what I have loaded (they are all on the weechat scripts site, just google the filename and "weechat):

Airbnb Changed New Orleans–and Now New Orleans Can’t Live Without It
I’ve been following Buy Me A Coffee since it publicly launched (not today) and it’s great to see that a side project can get support from YC. It’s not an easy space.

I work winters as a snowboard instructor. Over a typical winter I’d teach literally hundreds of people. Every once in a while I’d get a gift card, if guest is American, I might even get a cash tip, but generally, it’s Snow School pay. So, I thought something like Buy Me Coffee might come handy...

Being the summer software developer that I am, I ended up building something from scratch. It has a slightly different “flavor” than Coffee, mainly trying to make it work better in real-life interactions. But it’s in the same problem space.

It’s here:
https://www.feedback.land

Profiles look like this: https://www.feedback.land/ronilan

I run the experiment last winter. I’d have printed “business cards” with QR codes in my pocket (app makes a printable version for you) and I’d hand them out at the end of lessons (mittens snowflakes and all).

Bottom line. Got some feedback. That’s it ;)

Might give it another try this winter, but I’m generally off to other interests. If anyone has interest in the product/software (node/Mongo/react) contact is in HN profile.

How wide is the hose? According to the article, the bubble phenomenon happens in tubes several mm wide.

Obviously, your source doesn't support your argument. Just because something once had one shape doesn't mean a new shape can't have new connotations. You're jumping from 'the zero was not always a hole', to 'the zero can never symbolize a hole'. Which is pretty strange.

This 1/0 man/woman white/black kind of binary is so ubiquitous in our culture it's kind of redundant to go and find examples - but it is in itself interesting that when you mention stuff like this, some people will always find a way to claim it is nonsense.

I think it's a desire for security amongst political turbulence - you say, this stuff is abstract and clean and without cultural baggage, so I can hide in it from the world, which is ugly and ambiguous and provokes uncomfortable reactions.

It's a kind of desire that's really common around engineering, mathsy people - I mean, part of the attraction of these subjects is you don't have to navigate anything sticky. So that's why it usually provokes a pretty extreme reaction if you profane the temple by bringing cultural stuff in.
Why would WireGuard be important? It's nice technically but the benefits vs mature protocols are not really material in a vpn service's value proposition, compared to other properties.
Pocket, their competitor to MSN and Facebook and Reddit. Lets be real, MOST people are consuming from one of those three feeds daily.
"One" instead of "1" suggests unity and oneness, rather than a version number.

I still think it was an awful branding decision, though.
This is relevant to me. I just hooked up a TCL (Chinese state owned TV company) to the internet yesterday for firmware updates. Even though I reset the internet connection afterwards, I have no idea what type of nefarious thing it can do, or if it truly forgot my WiFi password.

To rest easier, I actually banned it’s MAC from accessing my network. Even that is probably not sufficient.

All of my viewing is through my Apple TV, which in my opinion is the most privacy-centered company in silicone valley.

Or better yet, a RSS feed that plays nice with auto-retention and quota settings. It just delivers you a bunch of parts that are in need of seeders and you use your existing mechanism to help with it.
There is an even better solution: do not collect any data, especially when your customers are paying for your product.

If your business model involves subsidizing product prices with the prospect of tracking users and collecting personal data, consider releasing a version of your product that cost more, but does not engage in any data harvesting.

With hundreds of thousands of employees and contractors, there are going to be mistakes made by medical staff. It seems Amazon's emergency care is a cheaper and more convenient alternative to UrgentCare, which is commonly used for handling workplace injuries (which usually aren't covered by personal health insurance plans). This article fails to show that it's worse than a typical UrgentCare facility. It's obvious to me that it wouldn't be as good as an emergency room. As with any job, it's important to get yourself to the emergency room if you don't get referred by the UrgentCare or on-site medical staff and think you need a second opinion.
I've toured a lot of eastern breweries tried countless east coast ipas. There certainly are plenty of ~40ibu ipas around. However, from my experience, you're most likely to find those at restaurants that are following the beer trends, slowly, and supermarkets. It's only been over the past couple years that most of my local shops started carrying mass produced double ipas besides arrogant bastard.

By and large the best places to get a good dipa is at the brewery. Most of favorites see very limited distribution and very small runs. Finding a triple ipa is a task on its own. Quality, and consistency is all over the place between breweries and batches. I've bought cans that've spoiled on the shelf. Some breweries have purchase limits because enterprising folk have filled vans with cases of beer to resell in other states.

Sours, like hill farmsteads ales, but more tart, have seen a resurgence. Stouts are still waning in popularity. Pilsners have a place in most long running breweries list as a fallback for those with less experienced or more traditional palates.

I've grown fond of strong kombuchas >3% abv, goses, dry ciders, and randalled brews that have been cropping up lately. I've also had quite a few beers made with teas that have been great. Don't write off meads or gruits either.
>we recently improved our homepage to focus more on our creators and less on our features.

I would reconsider that move imho.

I doubt many contributors are going to browse the homepage and try to contribute.

They will most likely only visit the subdomain of the contribution page they are trying to donate to.

New registrants on the other hand, who are interested in your service and it's features, will most likely visit the homepage first.
I have no idea, but I'd assume the mobile app would be for use of the people receiving the money. Which would be a nice add if I were a content creator. But that's just a guess.

Edit: As for your notion that an app isn't necessary when there is a well-designed mobile site, I def agree. However, that's just not the case anymore, how else do you expect companies to so easily collect your personal data! /s

Edit2: Id wager some companies intentionally don't focus on having a nicely compatible mobile site. For example, my bank's website sucks when I visit from a mobile web browser, however their app is great. I believe this is their intention, in order for people to download their app. Which has obvious benefits for the company; in particular, the data collection
Presumably the first of many. Will they map this to all of their Cloudfront locations eventually?
I bet. Safari has it, as a small drop down hidden in the corner of the window. Easy enough to switch tabs if you remember it’s there.

the credit markets are much larger than the equities markets, but corporate credit is a decent comparison in size since we are removing government debt from the equation

I think your observation paints an even rosier picture than you intended though, many of the corporate debt issuers do not publicly trade their shares
> To rest easier, I actually banned it’s MAC from accessing my network. Even that is probably not sufficient.

I'm curious why that is (possibly) not sufficient? Anyone?
The last time I looked into this, specific to road bike saddles, Specialized and a few others had developed whole product lines and various widths of saddle sit-bone positions specific for female hips and anatomy.

But no matter how good a saddle is, for a person just starting with a "real" road bike, who has not been on a bike for many months or years, there's going to be a couple of weeks of discomfort before your posterior anatomy toughens up and you stop feeling some discomfort.

A couple of weeks of riding 20km a day at a very leisurely pace should do it. Once you get past that wall, a properly fit saddle should cause no discomfort at all.
Does it really need javascript? Maybe I'll look at it later on my phone.
The best part is that, at least in my FedEx delivery area, the drivers "own" the route. So, if you file a complaint about them, they typically just make your experience more frustrating out of spite.
Why is "IDEs, Word Processors, Editors with Vi-modes" missing IntelliJ/JetBrains, VSCode, Atom, and Sublime? All of those have vim modes (of varying quality, I'm sure).
screen-only TVs are undesirable because content providers like Netflix gate their content to locked-down devices that present a lower risk of piracy.

Unless you run Netflix in MS Edge (or the netflix windows store app, which wraps MS Edge) and use a Skylake or newer CPU with a secure enclave / AMD PSP, Netflix won't stream you their highest-quality content.

Or they will happily deliver it to whatever Android device or smart TV that you like.

(also, PC support for HDR content is... "lacking", shall we say)
Key point:

> there really aren’t enough women to meet demand… if we keep hiring the way we’re hiring. Namely, if we keep over-indexing on CS degrees from top schools, and even if we remove unconscious bias from the process entirely, we will not get to gender parity. And yes, there is a way to surface strong candidates without relying on proxies like college degree.

I am all in favour of reducing the industry’s reliance on fancy name schools for hiring.

I don't understand Intermittent Fasting from a digestion point of view. The fast usually starts when you end your last meal, however you'll be busy digesting your food for hours, can those hours really be counted as "fasting".

Even if it's not blocked it is discouraged or against ToS for a fair number of places (including our current provider, tilaa). However I asked specifically for an exemption because we've been around for nearly 20 years at this point.

Most cloud providers (GCE, AWS, Azure) don't seem to mind though.

Ask HN: Why there are no new symbols being created, like one for concatenation
As an example, plus(+) symbol is used in several programming languages for string concatenation, provoking some unexpected behaviors in some cases. One example that illustrates this is: 5 + 1 = 51, but 5 - 1 = 4 (my intention is not to discuss about whether this is right or wrong)

Why no one is creating and proposing new symbols to fix these inconsistencies? I have the impression that our keyboards got stuck decades ago and only new currency symbols made to the keyboards (like the Euro symbol)

it can easily use a different source MAC if there is some network enumeration / scanning / vuln test happening. it could even keep the same MAC you set for the normal traffic and use a hidden second MAC for its nefarious traffic.

you beat this by setting a MAC and then doing macsec ( swithcport security by MAC address ) on that switch port the TV is connected to.

That's arguing against a straw man. Nobody is claiming all the bad people are gone. But the claim that Microsoft is all bad was the source of this whole thread.
As a fellow Latin American, I find "LatinX" offensive.

English already has a gender neutral adjective to refer to us, Latin, and therefore Latin American.

LatinX means you've internalized the colonialization of white "liberals" [0] who would refer to us as Latinos or Latinas while speaking English to show off their poor Spanish and therefore pretend to be sophisticated and woke.

[0] I don't consider liberal bad or good, just that the people who use latino/a/X seem to self-identify as liberals.
My TV is blocked from communicating outside my network by a MAC-based IPTABLES rule on my router.

I would just entirely disable WiFi on the thing, but guess what? Once you set the wireless up, there's no way to erase that data from the TV again. But allowing the TV to be on the network but not on the internet allows me to use some IoT features locally, so it's an alright compromise by me for now.

I would buy a dumb TV in a heartbeat, next time I upgrade. If there's one available.
Great idea for audio but that sounds very challenging given BPF's lack of support for floating point types and instructions [0].

I suppose it's possible to do audio processing being limited to integer arithmetic. BPF does have multiply and divide instructions at least.
