Once I witnessed awesome articles [others added and I used with delight] on open source frameworks as well as some minor facts [I added] on other subjects deleted for being "insignificant" I decided I'm not donating to Wikipedia until this bullshit ends.

Wiki articles are not videos, they take humble disk space to host so I can't recognize any reason in dismissing "insignificant" information other than a stupid rule.

IMHO whatever can be considered a piece of knowledge should be there.

BTW nearly the same applies to StackOverflow - thanks to high reputation points I earnt during the early days I can see deleted questions and answers and I often see really interesting (having three-figure upvvote scores and dozens of stars) questions and very informative (also heavily upvoted) answers deleted.

Razer made a left handed Deathadder in ~2011. They've since been discontinued, I have 3 of them and can't switch away. I've gone through probably 5 others. The tracking is nice and the feel is very good, but the scroll wheel is made from acrylic and tends to warp over time. The left, right, and middle buttons basically suck and wear down. The toothed shaft on the scroll wheel is also very tiny where it meets with the rotary encoder and is very prone to snapping off or wearing down due to friction.

All these problems and I fear I'll never see a better left-handed mouse.
For you, not much. For people who make their livelihood on it, a lot.

OP was talking about what gets upvoted to the front page of HN, not necessarily what gets written by the source.

Try searching "Matt Stoller Facebook" and then "Matt Stoller Google" on HN.
Not really. Consider the case where are editing a configuration file for some service, need to type a file path, and drag in a folder from the Finder instead.

Even simpler, if you write a small shell script with a hard-coded path in it that you run occasionally, you expect that script to keep running even across reboots. That means that, _if Terminal.app automatically adds a permission_, that permission has to be fairly permanent.

In both cases, under your suggested solution, both scripts would work when you test them, and then silently break when you close the terminal window.

I do wonder whether Terminal.app should automatically add that permission, though. If, instead of using emacs/pico/nano/vim, you use a GUI app to edit that script, that doesn’t happen, either, does it?
Isn't the problem that no evidence can be presented, even to the Supreme Court, because everything is marked super tip-top maximum secret?

Clapper flat-out lied to congress, he even admitted he did later, and even the few congress members who knew he was lying could not do anything about it because the evidence was top secret.

So, does that mean that one can assume this to be true and build a perfectly consistent theory, or conversely assume it to be false (with - say - at least one counter-example) and build another perfectly consistent theory?
> This is not necessarily "give up".

"Giving up" is an ambiguous term here and I should have tried to be more specific. But I wasn't just referring to ownership. If I'm working on a project, and joining Google means I need to stop working on it for 3-4 years, then I've effectively given up that project, in the sense that it's no longer going to be maintained or stay relevant.

I'm unlikely to go back to a 3-4 year old project and pick it up again later. Most of those projects are dead.

> So the fact that there will be some code written by you, but actually owned by Google, is (everyone repeat after me) No Big Deal.

Sure, unless your company is Oracle and they decide X years later to say, "actually we own the code and we didn't authorize it to be Open Sourced, and that means the entire project is infringing."

People are so ready to say that terms like this are no big deal. If it really doesn't matter who owns the code that gets contributed to an Open Source project, then why is it important that Google own it? If Google isn't going to exploit that code in any way, then they shouldn't have a problem with their employees retaining ownership, right?

> Now, it's different if your "side project" is under a proprietary license

I think it's unrealistic and unreasonable to assume that every time an employee enriches themselves outside of work, they'll be doing it in relation to an Open Source project.

It's also ignores the fact that a nontrivial portion of Silicon Valley was built on top of people who didn't accept those terms. We can say this stuff is standard and it all comes down to individual choice, but we have pretty decent data that universally getting rid of noncompetes was good for the software industry. We have reasonably decent data that allowing employees to work on commercial side projects outside of work would similarly be good for the industry.

Labor laws just haven't caught up yet to that point.

> Neither side is evil; they just couldn't come to an agreement.

I do think that these policies are unethical, that they amount to a kind of attempted takeover of employee autonomy on a level that a business owner shouldn't even be trying to restrict.

However, that wasn't the argument I was making when I said this was absurd. I was just making the observation that most businesses don't have as much money as Google to throw at people or to offer them dream jobs. So most businesses who attempt this are giving up any chance of hiring the best developers, because on average the best developers won't tolerate those terms unless they come attached to Google money and a dream job.

Obviously, direct competition or conflicts of interest are another story, but nobody is debating them. It's a mistake to start from, "direct conflicts of interest should be avoided", and then immediately extrapolate from there to "a business should own everything that comes out of an employee, anywhere."

Having worked with folks approaching that level of obstreperousness my advice would be to get as far away as you can as quickly as you can manage.
It means your taxes will go up and thw city has lost oportunity cost. That seems to me as a bad thing. You'd want the right amount of infra.

Even if they don't just "turn off", why would I want to invest in a cloud platform that only staff enough to keep the lights on, while there are cloud platforms out there that continue to provide new features to make my development process less painful?
Your logic does not justify your conclusion. Having too much of a good thing first of all brings the obvious opportunity cost. But there may be (and are) additional costs with too much infrastructure.
I think I'd like something like this.

The company has a given technology stack and rather than asking for anything which would directly benefits the company asks you to do some task that might be similar to their tech stack, but instead for the public domain / some open source project.

Programming: We've picked 10 problem tickets from various open source projects that are similar to things that might happen at work, show us what you can do in an hour.

I’m not sure if you are joking/mocking but for me at least it’s super convenient to tap a notification on my watch as I pull into my driveway and way directly into my house (detached garage I don’t park in so I enter through the front door). It’s also nice to know anytime I close the door it will lock behind me. I quite enjoy living in the future.

We did a bulk interviewing round a couple years ago and the person I fought hardest for thought she flunked the interview because she had to dump into the debugger to figure out why her code was broken.

Going into the debugger is precisely why I picked her over several other people. People struggle with crap there is no value in struggling with and it doesn't make you a stronger coder to keep banging your head against the wall. It makes you stupid or a masochist. And I hate dealing with code written by masochists. Stupid people usually write code that is broken in obvious ways. Masochists prefer torture.
Yes I mean:

* Cloud key

* 4-port POE switch

* Security gateway

* WiFi AP

I wanted to go all-in if I did it.
Hmm, I just got a Vimeo video to play in FF Dev, but I had to solve two recaptchas to get there (probably because I am coming from my VPN endpoint, not just because they want to torture FF users).
Interesting. I wonder if that's why it was never purged when they did everything else.

There used to be a long list of benefits companies would provide, like company cars, that all went poof right after they started getting counted as taxable income.
Jarvis – Write Me a Codemod
You need to be active with your site, so many people think they can throw up a website/app and the community will run itself, it really doesn't.

You've gotta be hands-on and engage with all the members, listen to them, especially over small things (what's nothing to you is a potential deal breaker for them) You gotta post, keep the discussion going, start the discussion etc.

Reasons I've seen communities die 1, incompetent/not bothered admins and 2, micro management. So many admins become mini-Hitlers when they have a little bit of 'power'.

Most importantly though is community, your users will stick with you through the worst buggy code so long as you show that you care about them.
I preferred the American version though, it wasn't quite as depressing but no less atmospheric.
I interviewed at Twilio. My resume and phone chats made it abundantly clear that my professional experience was 95% backend in languages like Java and Go.

I was given only a single coding interview my whole onsite, and it was to build a JavaScript SPA, including routing/linking, without the use of any framework, just vanilla JS.

This is of course both completely ludicrous, and incredibly disrespectful. Thanks for pointing this out so that we know to add that company (Twilio) to our list of companies to pass on, the next time they come our way.
This made me laugh - I first applied for temp jobs around this time and there was a typing test.

"Wow," said the person who had left me alone with a computer that felt old in the 1990s, "I've never seen anyone score 50WPM before."

"Uhh... I could type a lot faster, but the letter T is sticky and I had to delete a lot of Ts"

She looked mortally offended by this.

Wouldn't it already be the case, if one can in theory only be damaged as a suspect under these rules, that someone has to keep checks and balances?

I mean, however problematic an arrangement for legal defense in this setting is, at least they must have a very high bar of acting on it, if any action could reveal too much.

Also, if the only legal defense would be that the evidence was acquired illegally, that's a pretty weak defense, especially if it was simply defined to be legal. The minor problem of damages incured despite being not guilty already existed before--a door broken to search your house will not be repaired by them either way, I don't think.

The major problem that amounts to a concpiracy theory of controling politics, influencing supreme court judgement and cetera may be conciderable, but in that case, what's a lawyer going to do about it, huh?
Are you being wilfully obtuse?
I have to use Javascript almost daily at work, I hate it.

Up until a year ago or so I hadn't really had to use it much, I'm finding it so bad I'm seriously looking at how I can get into an alternate career. Working with JS is a profoundly miserable experience.

I hate what this industry has become.
Will account closure or suspension of other google services result in loss of access like the stories we've seen for Gmail?
The result of Citizens United was the death blow on American democracy. First, companies can put as much money as they want on elections, second, rich people control companies, and third, foreign countries also control companies. Put this together and the USA has no functioning democracy anymore, it is at the whims of billionaires and/or foreign powers.

But this is no argument either. It's like arguing "vacuum tube computers have the advantage that they have no moving parts. And all other computer technologies use the electrons that are manipulated in vacuum tubes."

All that could be true, and fusion could still be hopelessly uncompetitive. The problem is the complexity, difficulty, and size of fusion reactors. Free fuel doesn't make up for that. All the long term beyond-fossil fuel competitors fusion has to beat are also only loosely constrained by fuel availability.

As a French, "no" comes easily. I'll try to explain what I believe when I say no.

I think the important thing is that it must be clear why you say no, which means explaining your reasons so that others either agree with you, or chose to camp on their decision while knowing fully that it's just an opinion and not a fact. "No" is a recap of your thinking, so you need to lay out all the work that led you to this conclusion. When people understand it's not about them, they might not take it as personally and take a step back.

It's even better to be constructive (because "no" shouldn't mean "I don't like you" but "this is not the best way"). A method I've learned about is the "Yes! No. Yes?" (https://www.fastcompany.com/3026980/yes-no-yes-how-to-turn-s...). The idea is basically what I said above: make the other person understand that the exact thing you're talking about is not possible, but that doesn't mean you reject them as a person and you're not open to change. You're closing a door but you're not barricading the house.
People make lots of money coming up with new scare foods for each decade. That's all you need to know.
Interesting. Reminds me of a similar example with Jesus, commonly thought to be a carpenter, but who was really a tektōn (At least according to the Gospel of Mark) which could be translated as carpenter or stonemason. Most houses in Israel at the time would appear to have been made of stone, and therefore stonemason seems like it’d be a more appropriate translation.
There's absolutely nothing sad about setting expectations over quality of service for infrastructure management tools. HTTP as a protocol wasn't designed to be e.g. the language for expressively communicating complex state changes when managing cloud infrastructure.

A better analogy, would be if e.g. the NFS protocol spec wasn't enough to use NFS file systems, but required vendor support to work correctly.
Our socioeconomic system is great at delivering hefty and immediate penalties to people who try to escape being a cog in the machine: loss of income (and often access to food/shelter/health care/etc.), loss of social status and connections, and becoming an outcast from one's (former) community.

I can't blame people who don't find these punishments attractive.
>"And we will have white/black lists for food. I don’t trust the same people who brought us the food pyramid and low fat as a reliable arbiter of what’s good and what’s bad."

It's telling that, whenever the government (rarely) enacts laws that tax or ban consumables with negative externalities, they actually target the right thing. After troves of empirical evidence, they heavily taxed smoking and banned trans fat (I'm aware of the government's misguided early endorsement of trans fat vs. saturated fat, but science has progressed a lot since then). Recently, local governments have tried to tax excess added sugar. That has been less successful, but it's guided by the right thinking. Excess sugar in our food supply is unequivocally, empirically bad. The government has less of a basis to tax it since it's not paying for all our healthcare, but that would change under M4A. Moreover, there would be more money behind nutritional/health research, because that research would have a more tangible payoff: an approximate dollar amount saved in public healthcare expenditures.

As far as I am concerned the 4th amendment has been mostly stripped to a relic of the past. If you want protection from search/seizure then you must educate yourself on how to guarantee it absolutely as a matter of technology.
This is normal behavior. In DaisyDisk, you must drag the volume to the DaisyDisk window to grant it permission to inspect the volume. This is exactly the same behavior for Terminal.app. I don't see anything wrong here.

I had not heard that. I had understood it to have something to do with interest in Zen, which had a revival in the West starting in the mid 1900's. But I admit I don't really know anything about it. Does someone have a reference?
The obesity analogy makes no sense. It's a bad logical fit, not illustrative of the point, loaded with distracting negative connotations, and doesn't suggest any analogous remedy.

Is there any evidence that these repo loans are being rolled over? The Fed absolutely rolls over its open market operations assets, and open repos between banks roll over, but I haven't seen anyone suggesting that term repo loans the Fed is currently engaged in are being rolled over. Lending $120b to Bank A today, and then closing the repurchase and lending $120b to Bank B tomorrow isn't evidence of systemic failure within either bank. It is evidence of systemic friction in the repo market, which is already pretty well established, and is the reason given for the liquidity provision in the first place.

It's also worth pointing out that these aren't just free loans propping up banks short on capital - they're collateralized (in many cases, over-collateralized) with treasuries. The Fed isn't "loaning the bank lunch money", it's buying the bank's valuables, which the bank agrees to buy back at a premium the next morning.

The banks should only sporadically need money from the Fed, but it is not uncommon for them to need money to cover reserve requirements. Traditionally, they purchased those shortfalls from other banks on the repo market. Post-2008, the Fed started offering interest on overnight reserves on deposit with the Fed, which gives banks with extra reserves incentive to not loan to other banks, but to simply maintain their reserves. Additionally, banks have a preference for cash reserves over treasuries, since they're easier to move around without signalling the strength (or lack thereof) of the bank's position. All that has led to a constriction of the liquidity available in the repo market, which is why the Fed is stepping in to provide that liquidity. Banks sourcing their reserve coverage from the Fed is a new development, but banks needing to cover their shortages via repos is not. The most significant change in behavior is, broadly speaking, on the supply side, not the demand side. There have been changes to the demand side - notably the increased reserve requirements post-Lehman - but it's the supply crunch (and associated rate spikes, like what happened in September) that's predominantly causing issues.
This looks really cool. I don't have a need for it now, but if I did this seems like a strong contender.

I'd have someone copyedit it, though. For example you have "pre" instead of "per". Also the sentence "Team needs to staff dedicated release engineer to handle the task with their already limited resources." is grammatically incorrect and gives off the impression that this was built by someone who's ESL. May be true, may not be true, has no connection to how good a tool it is but some people might misinterpret it that way.

Idiomatic ways to write that would include "Teams need dedicated release engineers", "Teams need a dedicated release engineer", and others.

Still, to quote Bob Nystrom again:

"to be fair, it does have some stuff in common. So maybe it’s a fair comparison? I guess the real way to tell would be to compare Scheme to some other languages. The big feature that everyone harps on is closures. Maybe just having closures means you’re basically Scheme.

If that’s true, then C#, Lua, D, Erlang, Haskell, PHP, Scala, Go, Objective-C, Python, Ruby, and Smalltalk are basically Scheme. In other words, if JavaScript is Scheme by that criteria, then every language is Scheme, which of course means none of them are."

Just to add, Perl has closures too:

https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=690

and to quote again:

"This is why the “JS = Scheme” meme drives me crazy: it makes us dumber. It’s a thought-terminating cliché. It carries negative informational content and makes people actually know less about languages than they did before."
