I admit I'm mostly amused/fascinated by the list at the end of the feed types the blog supports, ranked by popularity. Gopher being more popular than Atom is a quirk specific to this blog -- it's not like many other sites these days support it, right? -- but it's the quite new JSONFeed being at top that was most surprising. Possibly also a quirk specific to this blog, but I'm not as sure of that as I am about Gopher.

Sounds like a third party remote start was installed which doesn’t have the same guarantees.. like ensuring the car is in park..
All change requires energy, and we're going to have less energy, so the speed of change inevitably has to go down.

Because the only energy added to the planet comes from the sun and the only viable option to collect that energy are trees and plants.

There are only three with master's degrees; the rest are PhD's. You have to be both talented and incredibly lucky to secure a full time position without a graduate degree here.
I disagree strongly with closing off an entire sector of content to political advertising. It seems like the goal, or at least the unintentional effect, is to reinforce the traditional media’s monopoly on political discourse.

This is a non-story. A 2002 Model Year Lexus IS was probably manual, and the owner had an aftermarket remote starter installed.

As anyone knows, the starter motor for a car (almost any motor) has an unbelievable amount of torque.

That coupled with a MANUAL transmission, likely in first gear (parked) - caused the car to lurch forward.

Yes, quit attempting to police speech.
Does the video also bring examples, where it was bad to talk to the police, when you were in fact innocent?

I only watched till the first example, where he brings the example of a stupid lawer who talked to the police .. when his problem was lying to the police and giving contradicting accounts of what happened. Yeah, this is stupid.

But I do really not like the idea of mandatory lawers as it cements the class justice system, with good outcome for people who can afford good lawers and people qho cannot.

When I have done nothing wrong I don't want to need a lawer by design. But it makes sense, that lawers think different about that.
You can also put a remote-controlled box somewhere annoying to access quickly, like airside in an airport. That's much easier than dealing with the logistics of someone driving around.

Not really. The real reason is that Oracle has done a reasonably good job of continuing the development of the Open Source project. You can certainly argue about what things they should have focused on (the MariaDB community has done that, mostly arguing there should be more engines), but Oracle has done nothing to damage the project, and a lot of good in it (serious improvements to the main engine, InnoDB).
The problem is that we're comparing 2 numbers, one is "warming equivalent" and the other doesn't seem to be. We need to adjust one or the other, but which one we adjust shouldn't matter here.

OSM should be big enough to scrape their own parcels / subscribe to someone who does at this point.

I wonder if this is still an issue... AR RTS is my use case as well, and the mapping is obviously a huge component.

I think Pokemon Go switched to OSM a couple years ago, didn't they?
And that Lexus did not offer remote start on that model, so this car was clearly modified.
There's a medium to be reached. It's to give a clean starting point, and make options intuitive to discover and useful to implement. At the risk of drawing the ire of the anti crowd, Mac OS X does this marvelously well.
> If this had been in EU then the owner could have requested the information under GDPR, as the tracking data is private information connected to the person.

That's an interesting interpretation of GDPR. The car is not under the control of the owner, and so the location data isn't the owner's data.

> We require the dogmatic, bureaucratic oversight of speech to create harmony

This is an open, legitimate debate. It's complicated with Facebook due to its lack of competition.

Companies moderating speech on their services is time tested and likely necessary. If the market presents a diversity of services, no one system of moderation gets a stranglehold on public discourse.

Facebook, however, is dominant. As a result, its decisions approach the breadth of government censorship. That's a fundamental disconnect they're trying to paper over.

Is "hilly" a simple binary indicator on each street (or section of road) or is there an entire layer of elevation data included in the world data?
In fairness, here in the UK at least, the print media are going nuts about Facebook and Google failing to stop fake news and politicians' lies. Coincidentally they're bashing their competitors for something they themselves do just as much, make of that what you will...

That is one reason fb (and maybe Google too and twitter and whoever else) are donating: make an independent sock puppet, they can decide and you just point at the when people complain. They're a "sin eater".

Its not different to how music and movie companies have banded together in the past to deal with "moral" crusades. I guess this is like regulatory capture technically, but where you build the regulator yourself. "Regulatory farming" maybe?

Personally I'm very dubious about fb (or anyone else) setting up an "arbiter of truth" and deciding who can advertise and what they can claim. But I prefer to think it's a marketing/political ploy than a dastardly plot to control our reality. They make 1000 times more money selling us sugar and then diet pills than political bs, but the political bs is upsetting that market.
Whistleblowing is incompatible with current child porn laws.

In several countries (Brazil, where I am from included), the law is that possession of child porn, for ANY reason, is a crime.

It means that trying to give evidence to the police, will get you in jail, even if the police doesn't want to arrest you, they have to, because that is what the law says.

Things get worse in certain countries that went along US child porn laws and ignored local culture and laws regarding related areas (for example, in Brazil age of consent is 14, and in some Brazillian regions marriage at that age still makes sense, usually due to harsh geography of the area that make it necessary, cue lots of young couples surprised when their personal photos are considered a crime...)
Ah... the line counter... must be better because there are fewer lines. I think I have maintained some code you have written. ;)
A common trend I've seen recently on HN/Reddit is that due to the ruling of the HiQ vs. LinkedIn court case (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21241395), data scraping cannot be against the ToS of a given service.

That is not universally correct. And even if it is, selling the data is an easy way to an expensive lawsuit.
I don't do that many conferences, but I know people who do. They do work at the conferences around meeting people and presenting their work. I find I'm more productive straight after a conference.

Mentoring people, yes. For very difficult topics that's definitely easier in person. Everyone teaches to some degree yeah. How do you level people up without teaching them?
I disagree. If that were the case many of those smaller species would have gone extinct ages ago due to natural predation from wild foxes and ferrets. Domesticated cats are a new issue because they often hunt with the same voracity of wild animals, but don't experience the natural pressure on their population that wild predators do because they're human pets.

If there were as many human households with domestic foxes as there are with cats, then foxes would absolutely be considered an unnaturally potent problem for wild rodent and bird species too.
I don't care what they look like. After talking to them once or twice on the phone, they're completely recognizable by voice alone, even on our terribly antiquated conferencing system.

>My problem with C# server development until recently has been the reliance on visual studio.

TBH there are very few IDEs or environments that match Visual Studio. If you've never used it, of course you'll be less productive.

>A lot of configurations need to be done through VS and lead to the creation of config files that cannot be edited or read outside of VS.

Project and solution files have been XML for a long while. I think the example here would be early UI work with WinForms and WPF? But everyone would think you're crazy to edit those text-only when you had a WYSIWYG editor.

>And a lot of the “magic” in the .Net server technologies mean that when things go wrong, there’s almost nothing you can do other than raise a ticket with MS

>Fortunately, both of these issues have been resolved with the open source .Net Core

If there's an issue with Kestrel, I think you'll still be spending a long amount of time debugging that. I don't think much has changed on that front.

.NET Core isn't a magic solution to this.
>Innovations in building technology rarely appear in developing countries first.

Maybe there is a reason for that.
If I'm understanding correctly, when "automated scanners" is mentioned here, what's meant is tools that someone runs directly, which scan the software/device and generate loads of red flags. Having a security.txt file makes it that much easier for the tool (or the user) to report the issue, valid or not.
funny, i build a basic little script that did this back in like 2015 so i could give my GF at the time a copy of all her instagram, which she was trying to do via scrolling + screenshots. I was thinking about expanding it but didnt. Thought it would be cool if you could order a literal physical book with all your IG photos in it. Kinda a gag gift but probably worth the cost of a modest gift (im thinkin like 20-100 bucks). Never got to the book part. Def would have run into legal troubles, but I guess if youre abroad (Ukraine?) then the US judicial system is not too much a concern.

I'm glad you two can get along in this capacity. I have ADHD and I'm very much like your wife and my last partner was like you, but my ability/tendency to multitask tended to be overwhelming for her even when it was just me doing it. Like, if I tried to talk to her while simultaneously listening to a podcast and doing something on my phone, she would be feel overwhelmed by association and ask me to stop the other things and just talk to her.

I don't think she had ADHD though so maybe it was different for her and more of a sensory thing. I just appreciate that you two are so different (in this aspect) and still able to respect and adapt to each other's differences.
Are either commonly used in the way Rails, Spring, and Django are? Clojure is niche but Go is big and I don't see many webapps powered by Go like they are in Ruby/Java/Python with Rails/Spring/Django. In the web world most Go programs I see are API backends.

Here's why I think "just use composable libraries" is a bad idea:

First it isn't very friendly to new developers. You tell them to go out there and find their libraries and they have zero clue where to start.

The second problem is its not very friendly to developers with a couple years experience either. Frameworks take care of so much stuff that most people don't know they need to take care of. Not just obvious things like connecting to an RDBMS but also very basic stuff that every website will need like CSRF protection, session management, etc.

And finally, when you rely on a wide variety of micro libraries you're actually relying a wide variety of other developers. What is going to have more support and development in the future: 10 libraries split across 10 developers with varying levels of commitment, or 1 framework with a group of developers working together on it?

You don't need to build your framework like Rails or Django. You could make it easier to plug in other libraries. But it should have a sane default for everything it needs for the benefit of both new and intermediate developers. Spring kinda works like this. It's easy to use Spring libraries for different parts but you can also just use your own.

Here’s my comments and I hope to be as constructive as possible:

1) I listened to Zuckerburgs podcast on free speech. I felt that while it had the appearance of adhering to the principles of the first amendment I think the purpose of the podcast and the reasoning of its participants is that the first amendment in facebooks eyes shouldn’t be the only consideration.

For me personally, I am close to what con law people call absolutist. The first amendment means what it says. However the first amendment says nothing about tv, radio and the internet (for obvious reasons). That’s where I am willing to extend my definition to be first amendment + Supreme Court precedent. This is the standard I view as the gold standard of individual liberty. I stopped using Facebook last January as an experiment / New Years resolution to focus my time more effectively but I would say after hearing the podcast, intellectual and well meaning as it was, the positions presented are completely incompatible with my view of individual liberty. I may decide this new year to simply deactivate my account altogether for this reason.

2) there is a growing trend of companies acting like governments. For ex, look at the surveillance powers created by nest/amazon. Look at the efforts to use private satellites for sub 1m resolution surveillance (formerly the only application was defense/intelligence related). And now look at Facebook and Twitter deciding on new rules for speech/content. Facebook’s Supreme Court is a way to manage the complex arguments for going beyond our own legal system. It is borne, in my opinion, both as an means to enact rules to curb individual liberty but also to subvert the existing expensive and lengthy process of taking something to the Supreme Court. And that’s just in the US ... never mind countries that don’t have the legal infrastructure to decide these issues.

In short, this is Facebook deciding it can hack / disrupt government. There’s no coincidence this is happening at the same time that it is introducing libra.

I am not a citizen of Facebook. I’m less than a citizen. I’m simply a physical embodiment of a life whose digital representation is owned and marketed by a private company. And now it wants to govern my digital representation’s speech and money. And I don’t single out Facebook. How long before I can subscribe to a private Nest police force?

Government is slow. Government is inefficient. Government is corrupt. As far as I’m concerned governments sole purpose is to protect my individual liberty. What is facebooks sole purpose?
Yes, maybe moksly gave a link to a non-free system.
Given that it is their workplace they could just have commented "local knowledge" or referred to images they had put on e.g., Mapillary.
I don't think that's the usual cause of the delay, though.

And for time critical issues like this, it shouldn't be.

Here's what recruiters see: 1) Oh, it's not the same tech stack, our client isn't going to want to look at this, 2) This person either can't dedicate themselves to one career or is taking any job they can find. And the client sees 3) Our past contractors have built the crappiest products that aren't in sync with our patterns.

I basically work for RegularCo. And I can tell you, the one person they don't need any more of is a "Chad". They have so many "Chads". I'm sure you know one; white hetero male, 20s-30s, christian/atheist, good education, lots of opportunity, all using the same tech stacks that follow the same trends, no leadership experience, hyper-focused on technology rather than what it's being used to accomplish. If they have SV experience it's usually for a higher-paying, trendier job than they advertise for. They're obsessed with the best practice, the latest and greatest, and they get visibly upset when this isn't the case. RegularCo just wants to ship something.

All recruiters would send us is "Chads". We'd beg (and even threaten) them not to send any more god damn "Chads", and still that's all we got. We'd even look for alternatives on personal time.

You know who we wanted? Old, queer people of color. Junior People with 15+ years experience. People just getting their start. People with diverse backgrounds. People hungry to learn and build things. And most importantly, compassionate, ethical, sane people who want to cooperate and get things done. It is depressing how hard this is to find.

RegularCo isn't based in California or SV, doesn't need to impress VCs, and almost nothing they'd use is trendy. They're a regular company that uses regular tech to make products. But they don't want to hire another "Chad". Unfortunately, they have to hire somebody, so they end up settling for "Chad" after holding out for a year.

Ultimately, what the recruiter wants is different from what the company as a whole wants, and may be different than what a specific team may want. A single resume may get passed around within a company a dozen times over a year until somebody has the budget and timing to hire them. It's really stupid and there's no simple solution for it.
Thats perception. Most o/o's are firmly upper middle. It's the hired drivers that get shafted, but even they do alright.
Not the parent poster, but I remote start my car so I don't have to sit inside it while it warms up enough to be able to drive. Is this not a thing anymore? I was always taught to warm the car up in cold weather so that the oil has had a chance to fully lubricate the engine so that you don't damage it if you have to accelerate quickly for whatever reason. Besides, I have to wait for the windows to defrost anyway. So why not let the car do that while I'm getting my coat on and shutting off the lights in the house and whatnot?
At least in some countries, a 5 star rating DOES require a reception staffed 24 hours: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotel_rating#European_Hotelsta...

Just wanted to note that it is not a very good way to gauge opressiveness or fairness...
In a perfect world, charges would only ever be brought against the guilty, and only the guilty would be found as such by court.
In such a World the ratio would be 0:<division by zero error>...
