The interface of the Phillips screwdriver had some inherent value (i.e self centering property) so it makes sense to protect it.

With software the interface is a trivial detail that anyone could come up with. One interface is as good as any other. It seems disingenuous if the owner of one interface that suddenly became popular tries to claim copyright after everyone starts using it.

how many times do ad services have to inadvertently push malware until we can just lump them into the 'malicious' category?
I've read a lot about Lisps with an open mind, worked through SICP in Racket, and worked on some personal projects in Clojure. It was all fine, but at no point did I feel like there wasn't another language that would have done as well, possibly better. The one area where I was never fully comfortable was the lack of static type checking. I've also dabbled with Haskell and though it it is the most clean and consistent language I've used. I never got to the point where I could wield higher kinded types to my advantage, I felt like I was doing extra work to satisfy the language requirements without necessarily getting the benefits back from it. I realize there's benefits of doing so, but it's unclear when/if I'll even break even.

Recently I tried F# having seen OCaml in the past but not really using it. F# seems to have progressed quite a bit since it was just OCaml on .NET. I'm able to work rather fluently with it having already been exposed to Java/Kotlin/Scala/Elixir which seemed close to what I want but seeming to fall short in ways I couldn't quite describe. F# came the closest to what I've always hoped to find in a language. It too has its quirks, some within itself and partly from interoperating within .NET Core. I've yet to use it on larger projects and on a team but the static type checking has already helped me save so much time on iterating design that I wont look at any Lisp for generic work. If I had a need for some specific DSL task it may come in handy as I've often baked minimally expressive configuration languages in the past for no good reason.

Stock-market euphoria surging past the highs before the 2008 financial crisis
You’re assuming market forces will kick in. Most student loans are made by the federal government which can decide to secure these loans or not. Today, they are not underwritten and there’s no reason to think they would be if bankruptcy is enabled. They could just view it as a subsidy which is likely the most politically popular and easy thing to do and push the costs onto taxpayers or raise the standard interest rate for everyone.

I'm not sure why they haven't tried the business communications angle with an alternate branded Slack competitor.

As a remote worker on an almost entirely remote team, we would benefit from a sort of voice channel huddle on-demand or even just watercooler chatting. There is something more casual about jumping into a premade voice channel where people may already be chatting than starting a Webex or initiating a Slack call that could introduce more "togetherness".

Something with this functionality was on my list when we were evaluating SaaS for our team and I really wanted something similar to Discord.

Of course no one would go for it as its branded, but having a forked version that doesn't bear any resemblance should be doable with minimum work.
The sentence does not claim "always". It just says that it's generally true, and personally, I agree. It feels weird even to have to say that. It doesn't seem to me to be dogmatic in the slightest. It seems quite obvious that you're allowed to do a lot of things that aren't done in polite company for the sake of protecting your health and safety. It's a little hard to know how to elaborate on this.

That large scale abuses of minorities occurs every day? That things look like they are steadily getting worse?
Related tip if you won't/can't use this extension: Netflix shows normally have many more subtitles available than you get shown (and sometimes audio tracks). The selection you see depends on your interface language and locale.

No, the current state is in constant flux. The only ambiguity the court should be resolving is the intent of the law. Not whether or not it “makes sense given the current politics of the day”. If the law no longer makes sense in the current state of the world, a new one should be passed by legislation.
> Parallel programming is not hard per se

I'm not sure how you can say that.

Programming a fairly hard activity but the general consensus is adding parallelism to any given programming task, you make that task much, much harder. I don't think you find any version of parallel programming that isn't hard.

The situation of parallelism, your commands happening in an unpredictable order, not synchronously, inherently, by itself, per se, makes thinking about a parallel program harder than a non-parallel program.

Edit: Parallel programming is hard enough that the advised method for most such programs is one or another standard patterns - which are infinitely easier than rolling your own plan but still contain serious gotchas when your program complexity increases.

You should note that "owning" a property that you don't live in (or rent out) also requires the use of force -- state force to remove anybody attempting to actually use the space.

I suspect you're trying to make a pro-liberty / property rights point, in which case I think you should consider more carefully the basis of justified property ownership.
Lots of reasons, but the easiest: property can quickly become a nuisance, hazard or destroy the value of neighbors property. You need their ID to track them down.

Ask HN: How do you make your warm-up time shorter
I used to work till late hours. That is - extremely late, I could stay up until 4am, have 6 hours sleep and then work the next day. That is not to say that I was working this whole time, I used to waste some of that time - like play chess every once and again, read HN post...

This will not come as surprise that I realized this hurts my family and so I decided I have to change the way how I organize my day.

I managed to change my life style to start work early (I wake up 5am and I'm in the office at 6am so I can finish at 3pm) and then spend quality time with family (quality that is I'm not tired or under phone / email). Once kids are in bed and I still feel like checking in I give myself 1 hour before 9pm, I go to bed not later than 9pm so I fall asleep before 10 so I can wake up at 5am again.

Everything would be fine if only I had shorter warmup time. That means when I come to the office at 6am I often need around 30 minutes of wasted time to make my mind to actually start working. What do I do during that time? I waste it to play mahjong, sometimes chess or read HN post...

I tried different things to fight these bad habits. One post here on HN suggests to maintain a TODO list, so first thing you do in the morning is to curate that list and keep it up to date in terms of priorities. This helped a bit but I still find it difficult to just jump straight in without having some of my time wasted.

If you still read this you might probably suspect that this warmup time is not just morning thing. Every distraction during the day (i.e. meetings, standup etc.) make me to waste some time to go back to the flow...

What are your ways of reducing this warm-up time? Or maybe I'm just lazy and nobody else have this problem?

I'm not sure what drives you to expect privacy from a communications platform fueled with venture capital money. I wouldn't be surprised they're trying to do at least two things:

1. Applying a censor to voice depending on server/user DM configuration. I know they've got some kind of OCR that tries to identify and block offensive words contained in images, such as the N word, when people are not friends and at least one side hasn't changed the “safe direct messaging” option down to “I live on the edge”.
2. Store records at least temporarily for law enforcement.

And the obvious other things are keeping for post-processing and derive user interests for advertising, or batching and forwarding the information to intelligence agencies.

It's hard to tell, realy.

On the fair use, if not the copyrightability, issue, social impact is an express consideration of the law. (Though given that the copyright power is expressly contingent on a particular social purpose, it arguably is on copyrightability even if the statute doesn't invoke it.)
Yes, I mention that in the last sentence of my extremely short comment. But my point stands: none of these plans come anywhere near seed funding's 15-20% of ownership, or the rough equivalent for "equity financing" humans: the rights to 15-20% of labor income in perpetuity.

No one cared who I was til I put on the mask.
Your responses to this thread still makes me feel like you're the problem. You're just trying to point the finger at someone else, instead of looking inwards.

My supposition is not about caring about the quality of work at all. You totally missed the point. It is about being upset about things and not dealing with it in the right manner.

If this developer is breaking the company, then it is your job (while you were there) to mentor the developer. It isn't about the code at all, it is about the culture of the company to tolerate the behavior that the developer is exhibiting.

What you describe as a problem, is such a general common problem in this industry that as a more senior person, you should have been able to help define better.

Once you have the policy in place, it is much easier to go to the CEO and say... "hey, we've put these policies in place, everyone agreed to them, i've tried to mentor the developer and nothing is working. i don't think this person is beneficial for the business."

Until you do that, it is he/she/they said and the likely non-technical ceo has no understanding of what good/bad code practices are.

I'm also a contractor, been one for ages now. I only take a 'real job' when I'm a founder. I've got perspective on both sides though.

That drives me crazy too! Some shows are pretty faithful, but others are way off. The otherwise-wonderful Cuatro Estaciones en la Habana is especially bad -- it replaces all the local Cuban slang w/ standard Spanish, e.g., they'll subtitle imbécil when the dialog is comemierda. Why would you do that?!

Also strongly agree w/ GP; in my experience, you've got to hide the english to learn anything. Otherwise your brain isn't working in the target language.
Something that doesn't sit well with me about DuckDuckGo is their hidden use of affiliate links to Amazon and eBay. Fundamentally search engines are vulnerable to predatory business models. Privacy is one issue. Providing financially motivated information is another. To my knowledge (would love to hear more), Google is pretty up front about what is an ad and what isn't while DuckDuckGo covertly sells you to Amazon when you might want to buy something.

While DuckDuckGo seems to be enjoying some halo effect in some communities at the moment (Google once enjoyed a similar glow), I think that general skepticism is probably a healthy orientation toward search engines.

> If I'm faced with a major upgrade of an LTS system, I usually choose to reinstall from scratch, shedding packages I haven't needed for a long time with it. But that happens every couple years or so.

This goes back to my original point, which we've drifted a little from.

Ubuntu has more unexpected behaving when upgrading than Debian.

A working dist-upgrade should not be something that your OS struggles to provide. Asking people to reinstall their OS isn't an acceptable answer.

Upgrading should not be a lottery.
For the rest of us, simply releasing update after update works to grow organically. Lots of things look for the "new update" signal.

This is actually a good indicator for understanding the issue of privacy/surveillance. There are enough hackers and engineers who care little about being spied, despite understanding some of the inner workings of how the spying is done - as long as the benefits of a free service outweigh the slight privacy-violating annoyances.

Now try to understand why the average person cares even less.

> the philips screw head was patented.

> By all accounts thats an “interface” for a screw to be driven in by a screw driver.

As a functional component, to the extent novel and otherwise eligible for patent, patent protection for APIs makes perfect sense; patents also have an extremely short duration compared to essentially-eternal copyrights.

API copyrightability is, aside from being inconsistent (IMO) with both the letter and intent of the law, an absolutely nightmare in practical terms because it has neither the novelty requirements nor the short term associated with patents.
Unfortunately, almost the entire world signed on to the Berne Convention [0], and it's basically impossible to change it anymore. It predates the internet too, so it has silly things like "minimum copyright term must be 50 years after the death of the author" and makes no allowances for the copyright of technological content.

The entire world has already handcuffed itself to the bad decision of having incredibly restrictive copyright laws, so we already are in a pretty bad spot there.

There's lots of good evidence for something like dark matter in clusters. The nicest one is the Bullet cluster (lots online about this), where we can see the hot gas and mass are offset.

We can measure the shape of the dark matter in the cluster by various techniques (eg gravitational lensing). Cold material couldn't exist in a distributed form in the very hot cluster atmosphere very long. Also how could it get there intact? Also it's difficult to hide normal matter from being seen, particularly in this hot energetic environment.
I don't think Discord makes any claims that the audio is P2P encrypted. There are legitimate reasons why Discord might be dropping malformed packets, apart from an indication that they are spying on you (they may be doing that too).

1) to improve audio quality.

2) to help prevent RCE attacks on the destination client.

3) re-encoding at lower bitrates for low bandwidth clients.

I don't really see the issue here unless Discord claimed they do not decrypt the audio.
It is true that Jef Raskin set the vision for Macintosh as an extremely friendly and approachable computing machine.

However, there is other anecdote which says..

Andy Herzfeld, one of the Macintosh’s developers, says that Raskin is “much more like an eccentric great uncle than the Macintosh’s father,”

However, ..He also deserves ample credit for putting together the extraordinary initial team that created the computer, recruiting former student Bill Atkinson to Apple and then hiring amazing individuals like Burrell Smith, Bud Tribble, Joanna Hoffman and Brian Howard for the Macintosh team.

I'll speak to JVM; I'm less familiar with CLR but I believe it's the same.

JVM and WASM both have statically-verifiable control flow. No wild jumps, no executable stacks, etc. Phew.

Arrays and pointer arithmetic are a big difference. WASM has a big linear memory block, and instructions may access arbitrary locations within it - the runtime performs bounds checking only at the edges. So your `sprintf` can still overflow the buffer, and smash the stack's data, but can't affect the host, or the control flow.

JVM goes further: it prohibits pointer arithmetic and pushes array accesses down into the instruction stream. To access a JVM array, you must provide the array reference itself, and the runtime will perform bounds checking using the length.

The JVM approach gives you better runtime safety - no Heartbleed! The WASM approach is lower-level and is more easily adapted to existing system languages: C++, Rust, other LLVMites.
