The closest I can think of (not a linguist) is hypercorrection, which is essentially 'correcting' what's already correct, and ending up with something that wouldn't previously be considered correct. But language correctness is defined by speakers, so eventually hypercorrection could eventually become the new standard.

I was recently asked by a friend to help my local county's Democrats to evaluate and recommend a volunteer organizing app. I sort of expected a medium-sized non-profit with some What I found was an all-volunteer group that is incredibly dedicated, but under-resourced with an extremely shallow tech bench and no technical leadership whatsoever. I saw things that made me shudder as a developer:

- Nobody knows how to use the CMS, so no new content in months.

- Their site lists a dated version of their team, with _personal_ emails on the public web, since nobody knows how how to set up new mail accounts under their domain. They get destroyed with spam.

- I overhead a volunteer clicking really rapid fire, like 100 times in a minute. I probed a bit and found that is how they send out messages. Its something straight out of the excellent "How to Automate the Boring Stuff"

- All data has to be manually entered into 2 systems, and they want to add a 3rd.

All of those things and 100 others could be fixed expediently, but there is literally nobody to do it, and no committee that handles that role. My day job in a journalistic organization means I really cannot engage in partisan political work, but I'm just itching to help.

If you are progressively-minded and want to make a difference in 2020 elections, please show up and help. There is plenty of work to be done, and shockingly few volunteers or staff with the skills you have, HN reader.
They have not released the minimum specs but I doubt they are targeting people with 20xx RTX cards and an i9. Only the "1%" would be able to use it and they'd lose a ton of money.

Also keep in mind this is designed to run at 60 FPS at 4K on the XBox One X apparently, so you can check what the specs on that box are.
I think this will be the next frontier for wearable tech. Smart watches are part of it, maybe even a smartwatch with some buttons that you can feel so you can control what you see in your AR glasses. At least until we see wearable contact lenses.

The phone becomes the main device, but these peripherals will enhance your use of your phone. Imagine being able to look up words you might not know when having a conversation in live time. Or seeing where the bathroom is in any building.

Edit: If you disagree at least tell me why.

Only because you're thinking as "self-hosting" to be setting up a server, etc. Before cloud-connected security cameras, every cam system owner was "self-hosting", even if that mean the cameras just recording to a local box.
While I agree with you, "hate speech" is a controversial topic outside the USA (and even inside the USA).

I think that the folks handling this software project screwed up plenty, but I also don't know if I'd fault them for not going anywhere near DHS. Given the way the current administration has shamelessly attempted to corrupt pretty much every institution it touches I think the political compromise of DHS is something that opposing parties should be factoring into their threat models.

Architecture, performance, and security reviews? Definitely should've happened. DHS? Ehh.
I’m not. Click hole is a funny concept. But it’s not that funny for that long. I love Alan Resnick, who sometimes contributes (or at least used to?). But even his click bait Dadaism grew stale. I’m surprised they have regular visitors.

That being said, Cards Against Humanity is also pretty crap in my opinion. It’s mostly just shock value, which deteriorates greatly after the first session. It’s copy cat games are even worse (e.g. what do you meme?) as they tend to triple down on the shock value and the faux millennial sarcastic celebration of being a total loser...

That’s not to say the game is necessarily bad for being mostly a one time thrill, but man do I hate it when people pull it out at a party
I'm sure they're happy enough that folks are refreshing their newsfeeds in suspense, and everybody is tripping over themselves to get a live-updated-page about results
Don’t be the average user.
Sure. You are basically specifying operators as aliases for functions, so all these are equivalent:

F.applyFlipped blah rhubarb
blah `F.applyFlipped` rhubarb
blah |> rhubarb
(|>) blah rhubarb

The number (1) is the precedence, so if you have multiple operators in a statement it knows how to group them.
After spending time with the eZ80, I have to say most of your complaints with the 816's addressing modes are also concerns on the eZ80. The only way to address 24-bits of RAM is in ADL mode, which requires a specific mode switch, and then that screws up interrupts if you stay there. Further, code density is much worse in ADL mode, so staying there most of the time will actually make 24-bits of addressable RAM a problem. There's no provision for doing I/O block transfers in the ISA, so that makes data transfers on that half of the bus... questionable as to why that bus is even present.
Perhaps, but extremely unlikely. Who would know? I'm sure you can see there's a massive difference from a major CEO who is known publicly vs you switching jobs and not getting a reference callback at worst.

I guess weather preferences are subjective. My wife prefers TO weather over SF weather. Her reasoning is that TO has "real seasons". I used to live in Sao Paulo. Great weather IMHO, if you're ok w/ 38C in summer. SF weather feels chilly all throughout the year IMHO. The weather inland in the Bay Area tends to be much better for my taste. YMMV.
It's hard to see religion as "tertiary" to intelligent design when the concept was invented by Christians to make their religious beliefs sound more scientific. Hell, the first thing that came up when I googled "dependency graph of life" was an article from a site owned by the Discovery Institute, an organization founded to promote conservative Christianity. Berlinski also works for them.
Also, if you squint right... a "z800" type design was basically the 286/386/486, no? The Z80 was a derivation of the 8080 architecture. 8086/286/386/486/Pentium was, too.

Might just as well say the same about every developed country's immigration policy. Last I heard, all accepted fewer than wanted in. If you perceive you can't get in one place you emigrate to another. Or stay home of course, making it also a boon for developing countries' tech industry (a very good thing, in my opinion).

I've learned the most and gotten the most bang for the buck from using Cook's Illustrated special edition magazines. For example, Skillet Dinners1[1], my copy of which is well worn. The writeups that go with the recipes really help train one's intuition about cooking. Over time, I've gotten much better at knowing when to adjust ingredients or cooking times for a given recipe.

No child seems to have been locked up. The kids are being questioned without parents or lawyers present, and the case itself is baseless, but not sure where locked up bit comes in.
There's an irony about posting in a topic about simple, vanilla, no-framework scripting and then linking to a repository with the following unnecessary ancillary files:

.gitignore
.prettierrc
README.md
REQUIREMENTS.md
manifest.webmanifest
package.json
tsconfig.json
yarn.lock

Plus the actual source code is spread over four TypeScript files, JavaScript, CSS, and HTML.

This isn't meant as criticism of your code specifically but of "modern" web development which hypocritically espouses simplicity but actually increases complexity of development.

My point is your app could have been a single HTML file (or HTML, JavaScript, and CSS if you want to split hairs). Instead there's 15+ files because that's the state of modern development.
I read the book The Millionaire Next Door over a decade ago. It changed my views on properly handling wealth/assets. Collecting wealth to impress other people is a loser move, but all too common.

Sure, a phone call should suffice to arrange some face to face discussion. They'd basically call to arrange meeting at a more accessible location, even if its only the sidewalk immediately outside.

I don't understand that restriction either about forfeiting damages. I'm not sure the details precisely, but I'm of the opinion of second chances and a three strikes you're out sort of deal here. Maybe not literally three but obstinate refusal to address the problem.
Everything you said is true, but completely unrelated. :)

Here's why: we are talking about the huge legal difference between liability of the user and liability of the service. If user's pick poor passwords, that's their problem, and a problem with passwords in general. But if you store the password, suddenly you are opening yourself up to bigger risks, risks that could sink your product.

Big difference.
Funnily enough i have a 1060 right now, this entire comment is scarily on point for my exact situation!
If the article is correct it is an important difference because the light is directly projected such that it's always in focus and not affected by the cornea so it's just always there and you don't have to change your focus to the read it.

Not Acronym, ACRONYM. Someone fancies themselves as a Bond villain. They should apparently rename themselves to KAOS.
> YMMV, but I always found when you add up the time spent and material cost, it's nearly a wash to just pay someone else to do it.

I dunno. For some tasks the time it takes to find somebody else to do it, be available to let the person in/out, and settle payment is much larger than doing it yourself; the lead time is orders of magnitude larger, and doing it yourself gets the bonus that you can do it whenever is best for you, instead of negotiating your agenda with a busy person.

They're already getting more than enough to fund development with the Google deal, which they've shown no willingness to let up on, despite it seriously compromising user privacy. Donating to Mozilla at this point is just encouraging organizational bloat.
To be honest, I would pay good money for a simulator that could have scenarios for common Air Disaster episodes.
ZomboDB developer here. With ZDB you don't need tsvector at all. With a properly defined mapping, Elasticsearch can do the stemming for dozens of languages, including English.

ZDB exposes darn near everything ES supports.
When learning to cook, order a pizza.

You're learning after-all, and learning while hungry is not a good combination. If you burn the food and then have to eat it, you're going to have a bad time, negative reinforcement, etc. Order something else, like pizza, munch on that as you learn this new skill of cooking.
They are working directly with the manufacturers on this simulator, and there is no way Boeing is going to allow "realistic crashes".

You're just peddling the probable media narrative. It's undoubtedly the worst for Bernie. He didn't get to tout his "first count" win, which would've given him a boost going into second alignment. And he would've given a victory speech which is historically equal to at least a +5 bump in the polls.

So easy to imagine that we've been doing so for 40 years [0]. In fact, the basic technology seems to have been in place for 40 years as well, but no economic incentive to execute on these grand plans for permanent human habitation in space has yet been found. Furthermore, I have yet to see any evidence that such incentive will ever be found.

Aw, that's sad to hear.

In retrospect Motorola's 6809 (and then the 6309) probably did the best job of adding 16-bit (and even 32-bit) support to their register set. If they had taken it further and added a 24 or 32 bit address bus, that would have been nifty.
They will still eventually need to disclose, a confidential filing allows them to work with the SEC on details before releasing public info. https://www.inc.com/christine-lagorio/public-offerings-how-c...
This sounds a lot like Clojure records and it may be some time before I can mentally distinguish them just based on the name alone.
My experience was the complete opposite. Just relax and do whatever you want, the pan is your own little canvas. If something doesn't work out, oh well, you tried and learned from it.
> The real problem is greed.

Yes, and it's getting worse. Nowadays it's quite common to see a retro computer broken up into it's respective parts (keyboard, case, mobo, psu, etc) and sold off as individual auctions because the seller knows they'll get more money that way.

And don't get me started on the sellers who rip the SID and VIC chips off of perfectly working C64 motherboards to sell them separately at inflated prices! Grrrr.
The problem isn't using one consistently, in self-written code, but students will copypaste small snippets from somewhere. While python recommends using spaces for everything, more than enough code exists that uses tabs. Now; not every IDE is smart enough to actually convert everything to whatever is set. It may work for PyCharm or VS Code, but then again, I specifically do not want to endorse any program.

Edit: Or put another way - if my CS101 course has about 500 participants (which is not unreasonable in Europe), even 1% with whitespace problems will keep you busy and from answering questions that provide real insight and understanding. Because, after all, while learning to distinguish a tab and n spaces is a valuable life skill, it's entirely not my point while teaching how to think when programming.
> The only question is, is your cloud provider less likely to make mistakes with your data than you are?

No, the second question, which is a multiplier of the first, is how catastrophic the mistakes can be. Google _can_ accidentally do much worse things with your data, but it probably much less likely to make mistakes with it in the first place.
Listening to people you disagree with.

This. A follow-up suggestion: try to truly understand the motivation and concerns behind the other person's arguments.

Useful tools are asking "Why?" multiple times to dig deeper. If the conversation seems to dead-end in a broad claim, ask "Can you give me a specific example of …? to continue your quest.

This is especially useful (and interesting!) when talking about politics.
Am I correct to understand that this backdoor tracking of individual users applies to the standard Chromium browser (i.e., the non Eloston ungoogled-chromium) as well as the Chrome browser?

If so, its incredibly consistent with Google's surveillance capitalist business model.[1] Wow. I'm thankful for Firefox.

It is absurd, to what length that this nationalist government would go to remain in power. I feel sorry for these kids and all those who are suffering at the hands of this government.
> It's an arbitrary construct that is not indicative of what form the work will take.

Agreed.

I had a similar code challenge and after joining the company, in the first year of work I did little if any JS work which even approached the level of the challenge I was presented with. To this day, I'm still bitter the company gave me the old "bait and switch" tactic to get me to come work there.
So that brings us to the next question: Why on earth are we putting the entirety of those (business) life and death decisionsinto the hands of essentially a single person? Why is the effort not spread out over a broad swath of management-capable people at all levels of the company, when we're against monarchy in so many other aspects of life?

Thanks for the positive feedback. I'm sorry your project didn't go in a direction where ZDB would be useful, but I'm thrilled you had a positive experience with ZomboDB.
And in particular, their emotions lead them to believe conspiracy theories when something doesn't go their way. It's not that the DNC is some cabal hindering progress, like they believe, but that progress requires careful policy consideration that those who advocate large immediate changes haven't thought through.

Look at Sanders's early education policy for example. It's just a single line. Getting early education and childcare right will benefit far more people and in a far more egalitarian way than getting postsecondary education right, but if you even suggest it, some "emotional" Sanders supporters will say you must be part of a banking conspiracy.
While Brave not taking the "Search deal with Google" route is commendable, you shouldn't donate to it, either.

Venture-funded for-profit startups don't need donations, and again, donations will be more heavily felt by the people maintaining the software you use every day that isn't created by behemoths.
IIRC the laser warning sticker is just required by law for any laser device of any appreciable power so there's no "well it's the whole point of the product" exemption to having the warning.
I'm not really sure DHS was offering anything like that though.
Ironically tools like Jetbrains Resharper let me simply avoid doing large amounts of text entry with things like "extract interface" or "auto-generate interface implementation methods" or "auto-generate switch labels". A few keystrokes and hundreds of lines appear! And they let me avoid doing a lot of navigation by navigating to related items for me.

As you say, the speed of keypressing is irrelevant when most of the real work is in staring at the screen and puzzling something out.
