> But the fact many Americans are unable to do that is, in itself, evidence the imperial system doesn't work that well for them.

The set of anecdotes you have put forward about Americans you know could be evidence of any number of things. You hypothesis is that the US customary system doesn't work well for them. An equally valid hypothesis is that public education doesn't work for them.

You keep asserting that your anecdotes are broadly indicative, but multiple people are telling you the opposite (and presenting an equivalent level of anecdotal evidence with similar limits in broad applicability).

For my part, I've lived in several parts of America my entire life and never met another American:

* who says "six pound five" for weight.

* who doesn't know that water freezes at 32°F.

* who would express length/distance as tenths of feet (e.g. 1.3). [1]

But I wouldn't therefore conclude anything about Americans generally.

In fairness, you could probably take a camera and get an 'average man on the street is dumb' effect if you looked hard enough and cut a bunch of disparate interviews together. I suspect you are encountering selection bias. All the people who are bad at math (independent of measuring system or educational background) have found and glommed onto you for help. All the people who don't have trouble with unit conversion (who possibly outnumber the former group) don't trouble you with their unit conversions.

[1]: I have seen halves and quarters (X.25, X.5, X.75) of feet expressed in decimal.
From what I gathered:
The author was banned from service on Instagram, he or she kept getting banned/denied new accounts because they flagged the device's UUID... So the author then made the API to mask/modify the device UUID and try to regain access to the platform (presumably signing up elsewhere, then using that token through this API to maintain access on their phone).

The author admitted to this in the readme of the repo.

Sounds 100% like the API was designed to try and bypass access control mechanisms...

Not sure if that falls under the legal definition or not.
Interesting project

Does this account for how regional variation within each country? Because even in the UK, peoples attitudes can vary wildly from one town and city to another.
I’ve considered getting the new Linksys. It’s been hard to justify its price tag though next to another router I would also highly recommend, the GL.iNet B1300. I have bought three of those so far and will buy one or two more when they go on sale again.

I forget which ARM chip it ships with, but it’s capable of pushing almost 200Mbps on WireGuard, and it’s a significant bargain over the Linksys. Its antennas probably won’t cover same distance as the Linksys though—that works in my small apartment or if you use a couple of them in a mesh network. For a bigger house and if you like to keep things simple, the Linksys or the Turris are probably the best options.

You’re totally naive if you think other gems are mined more humanely than diamonds. Just look at the countries about half the diamonds are coming from these days - Russia, Canada, Australia. You think it’s going to be more humane and ethical to mine sapphires in Madagascar or Lapis in the mountains of Afghanistan?
Wouldn't my server have to run on ARM in this case.
You absolutely can specialize, you can even describe your current role in a way that sounds specialized - "Build/Release Engineer specializing in CI/CD and cloud native technologies."

As far as specialties inside DevOps - security, OCI, schedulers are general areas that have specialist roles available. Another option is to specialize in a tool or tooling ecosystem relevant to DevOps. For example, you could decide to learn AWS service offerings inside and out or specialize in webtech on bare metal and land a role at a company that has the scale to demand optimal bare metal deployments.

>Why is a system allowing lobbying better than one that bans it in favor of politicians independently making decisions based on the will expressed by and likely benefits for their constituents?

Because in many situations there's a very fine line between "lobbying" and "making decisions based on the will expressed by constituents". An organized group of concerned citizens is a lobby.

When it comes to outright bribing politicians, that's easy (and illegal). But there's a ton of grey-area in there. In fact, I'm not sure how you even could remove lobbying from the political process.

After years of people saying things like they wish they had Lua in the browser instead of "awful" JS, I finally used Lua for the first time writing games with Pico8 (https://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php).

I found Lua to be so bare-bones and even quirky that I yearned for the expressiveness of C. I was so unimpressed and miserable working with it that I wondered if these people in the wild who supposedly love Lua have used another programming language in the past 15 years.

So, with that said, MoonScript looks essential.

Someone has changed the title of this submission on HN. (The remote web page still has its original title.) And I don't see anyone else complaining about the title on this thread. So I suppose that part of my comment got through.

If you have a feedbackless censorship mechanic like downvoting, one expects people to complain when there's a clear pattern of it being abused; this is exactly what happens when posts in China get censored - people complain. Before my comment, several other very reasonable comments were downvoted to grey as well.
I feel a government has a scope wider than a company and is answerable to the public at large. A corporation is answerable to its shareholders so slightly different.

Bribery at any level is not acceptable, and even at the corporate level if shareholders are affected, they would want to remove the person taking bribes
It's pretty obvious there is quid pro quo in many cases. A strong society should have regulated channels for lobbying and ban any contact between lobbyists/industry and politicians outside of those channels, including after office.

It depends on the group. Apple's silos mean that individual directors and VPs have a lot of influence over the working cultures of their teams, and a lot of those leaders ape their management's style, which, when His Nibs was still a going concern, involved lots of screaming and abuse. So it could trickle down.

I was lucky in that during both of my tours, my management was humane, but that's sort of the luck of the draw.

>We have safety meetings every Monday and Friday after lunch. Statistically, most accidents happen right after lunch, so the idea is to talk about it before it happens, as if talking is a kind of protective spell, a hex against fiery death, or crushing death, or the whirring blades of amputation, or decapitation.

A rather childish way to see it, but fair. Speaking as a full time "heavy" diesel engine mechanic for a small chain of midwest shops, I've been part of these meetings and ive even organized a few. talking about the issues, or identifying the risks, helps break you out of the 40 hour a week, hammer swinging, wrench turning hypnosis of shop work for just a minute.

I once started a meeting with an emergency contact form and a few dice. Everyone got to roll a dice, and that number 1-5 corresponded to a finger they couldnt use while completing the form. 6 meant they couldnt use their dominant hand. Needless to say, the point was made. You dont always get to choose what you lose when you play with safety.
Aeson parsing seems straightforward to me, not sure it could be easier in any language. Serialization from your endpoint is automatic, based on your data types.

The real benefit of using a well typed language here is that you only need to parse the data once at this point, after that the type system makes sure the data is of correct format everywhere else in your codebase.
No doubt they have studied it. In fact I think there is a 2018 CCTV saying how good the Wu Han has helped to discover one (and I looked the screen it is about WIV1- version). Whether they have done the alleged one in the report not technical to know. But we need to investigate as at least they do not have the openness and transparency to ID the source.

Exclusively about date/times, this seems like the correct sequence (older to newer):

India is becoming a popular destination for foreigners to chase their startup dreams[1]. Same source.

At a lot of places, there is a single technical track, and when you get to a certain level of experience, the only place to go is into management. Also, there is a general disinterest in treating people management as a separate, first-class discipline, and most places devote no resources to training and support, particularly for front-line managers.

People left rudderless but with strong and inflexible demands on their teams will often revert to a control freaky micromanagement style, out of pure risk abatement. Bad managers are products of bad cultures; there are (thankfully) very few actual psychopaths in the world.
Synthetic diamonds are not easy to produce and they take time and energy (literally). The only reason synthetics are made is because the price of real diamonds help prop up the price of artificial ones. If the market collapses, as you predict, than artificial diamonds don’t become economical to create any more. My prediction: new mines will continue to be found and real diamonds will have the same market hold they have now in 20 years.

I think you meant to use the word “hassle” instead of “hustle” as it would be a bit more idiomatic in the sentence.
All major costs (payroll, devs, marketing etc.) are in India. The only cost is accounting/compliance which is again it seems is lesser compared to India.

We need to file taxes in India for operations done in India, yeah so that actually means that we are increasing the overhead of compliance (adding Singapore compliance). Benefits are better funding opportunities, lesser taxation and financial tools to work for your startup.

It is not really rehearsing, at least not as you set out in your last two paragraphs. It is more like the first draft of that process, and if it were spoken, it would probably seem incoherent.

When I am doing something specific, such as composing this reply, then go on to rehearsing it explicitly as you describe.

There is also visual imagination, but that seems to be secondary unless I am thinking through a physical process. This might explain some of the incoherence, as my monologue does not to explicitly identify the entities in my mind's eye - I can pick them out indexically.

These issues may have some relevance to the philosophy of the mind, as philosophers often seem to assume they can gain insight into general principles through introspection, but with there apparently being several significantly different ways that people experience thinking, any one person's experience will not be the whole picture.

This is very true, but it's also important to realize that the hyper focussed Apple culture comes as an adaptive response to their near-death experience, before Jobs came back. A company that makes a billion dollars in revenue a day can afford to diversify; a company that is on death's door cannot.

I think the situation currently is an overcorrection to a vaguely remembered pre-Jobs past.

Israel is probably one of the few countries other than the USA were LGBTQ+ people were attacked and killed in public or in private spaces.

An ashkenazi religious Jew stabbed and killed a girl in a gay pride event in Jerusalem, and the government coalition is made up of some of the most externally homophobic (also Ashkenazi) MPs.

Israel has an image of tolerance because of TLV, which was mostly a tourism driven policy or gimmick. The rest of the country is really not gay friendly at all and personal safety is something to consider if you travel outside of TLV.

Mind you the murder of youth in a gay community club took place in TLV.

My rule of thumb:

happy programmer = productive programmer

productive programmer = happy programmer

Lots of managers somewhat assume that a developer is trying to do as little as possible, but it's quite the opposite. Many have pride in their work, and enjoy getting into flow.

Very often they can get frustrated, with processes, with equipment, and often with themselves.

Sometimes they end up in an unproductivity-depression spiral too, and need a little help out of that. Often the best solution here is not to be hard on them when things go slow, and make it clear that they're encouraged to bring up problems as it happens.

The easiest way to find out is to just listen - regularly schedule 1-on-1s. Well, if you have one programmer, there's going to be a lot of 1 on 1, but keep it a habit.

I'd say don't worry too much about onboarding.

Start them off with a little goal, that's not too time dependent and have someone they can fully interrupt in the first few days. The process of the tech team can change very rapidly in just a few months, based on team size, managers, DevOps, etc.
Your theory is entirely plausible and in fact I would expect no less from a creepy entity like Facebook.

Another option could be that you've searched or browsed content about this before so you were getting these ads occasionally anyway but didn't pay attention to them until you talked about it and now that ad stands out.
>Among many things I hate about the DMCA, it's that hosts have basically no option other than to respond to takedown requests by actually taking down the content in question, for fear of litigation.

That's the entire point. A DMCA takedown request is supposed to lead to the content being taken down. The person who uploaded it can send a counternotice, which will lead to the content being put back up if no lawsuit is filed.

What would you change about the system? Should rights owners have no recourse short of litigation to get their content taken down?

I can (obviously) only speak for myself, but the reason I use and like lua isn't because I particularly love lua-the-language; it's because lua's syntax/semantics/implementations are tiny. I can easily hold it in my head and build on top of it. Its simplicity is its strength.
That's interesting. I actually feel quite differently about my own experience in finance.

HFT is a great example mentioned by a sibling comment. You kind of need some number of traders out there to make sure that market prices are honest and fair.

Specifically, twelve is a superior highly composite number.[1] In plain (and probably over simplified) English, it has more factors than other numbers in a similar range.

Historically, problems of division have been harder to solve than problems of multiplication. You can observe counting systems and their radices develop in multiple civilizations to make dividing easier by providing more factors. Twelve inches to the foot. The long hundred. 360 degrees in a circle. Ancient Mesopotamian sexagesimal arithmetic.[2] The fact that 'dozen' is a word.

In the modern industrial era, we have computers (mechanical then electronic) to help with problems of division, but for most of history we didn't have those tools.

What's so special about ten? Probably that we have as many fingers, so some counting systems developed as base-10 and spread across the world for reasons that have more to do with geopolitics than utility for mathematics. Of course, you can count to twelve on your knuckles.
