Apple lacks this feedback loop, and their drivers are garbage.

There may be exceptions, but I never had anything like the graphics glitching that the Nouveau drivers had or known problems that would lock up Intel GPUs every one 1-2 days or consistently in some workloads [1], or broken Intel WiFi drivers. The recent Intel driver problems literally took months 4-5 months to fix, while they show-stopping errors were in an LTS kernel release that was rolled out in various distributions.

If I have an issue with what I'm building, I can hop into a chat and immediately talk to Nvidia/AMD/Intel folks/etc. In some cases, they share code, in some cases they release a driver update.

You mean like asking NVIDIA for Wayland support following the same standards as everyone else? That worked well.

Everyone's drivers are bad, but I don't believe for a second that Apple's are measurably worse than Linux or Windows drivers.

How to hire telecommuters: 7 must-ask questions (2013)
no thanks.

'rename .txt _1.txt *' is quite a few lines in a language that's super simple, like Python, and it turns into code golf with even more terse languages.

I'll stick to the terminal.
I disagree - there is fun to be had in these games (same with those with Linux support). But as I mentioned in a sibling comment, the real issue is half of this half is now unsupported.
I think this is entirely dependent on the scale at which it is implemented. Certainly, you're right if we're only talking about for admission at elite colleges/universities.
I don't think people need to have cultural similarity for a well-functioning business. I think the diversity really helps businesses be successful for several reasons:

1) Diverse people come at problems from different directions. That's not just cultural diversity, but all kinds of diversity. The best-run businesses have cross-disciplinary, cross-cultural, cross-cutting teams.

2) Diverse teams understand markets better. Most Silicon Valley startups are focused on the same demographics: Wealthy, liberal Americans. A lot of other groups, both within the US and outside, form huge markets which are underserved, and business opportunities.

I've been in cross-cultural organizations, and it can work really well.

And yes, just as with your experience, I do find a lot less cultural adaptation working with immigrants (not just "Indian engineers") than with locals from cultures other than my own (not just "religious white people in the United States"). Immigrants are in a different culture, and already making cultural adaptations. They overlook a lot of irrelevant stuff, and when they do react, it's for things less subtle.

Working across cultures when people look like you, and expect you to behave like them is a lot harder. And in many cases, the differences are subtle but important; a word takes on a slightly different meaning, or body languages is slightly different. That's actually a lot harder than when both people know it's a different culture.

The comments about cancelling weren't about you. Someone else went in and all my posts were marked with a huge number of downvotes. That's either someone with multiple accounts or a bot. Not sure which. They seem to be back to normal now, so perhaps other people upvoted, or perhaps a mod fixed it.

Regarding other countries, I think it's a bit sad when local cultures get stamped out or Westernized. I don't mind Japan being for Japanese, or Ethiopia Ethiopian. I appreciate that kind of diversity too (not everywhere needs to be tolerant). The US is different because it's a nation of immigrants, and the culture should be a melting pot. I want the US, where I live, to be tolerant. I don't apply that standard to others.
I don't argue for that system, I argue for whatever the rest of the world on average seems to be doing since opioids are much less of a problem in countries comparable to the US. The US must be doing something wrong with a lack of regulations in this industry, and the only common factor is unhinged profit-seeking.
Wow, what industry do you work in and for how long?

Reasons for technical people to use word:

1. A non technical person may need to edit or even just comment on the document at some point

3. Actually imo it's the best tool for the job it's designed for. Markup/markdown and adobe have their places but not in everyday business writing. Or even scientific, it beats latex for journal papers imo (see point 1).

That's the tragic thing, politicians are now lying to our faces, so it seems like lying has been normalized...

> * Want to dehumanise people by seeing them only as a member of their respective groups

This seems like such a facile argument. It seems very difficult to combat racism (ie. the common strand of thought in society that sees people only as a member of their racial group) if you can't consider race at all.

How, for instance, could we even make racial discrimination illegal if the state were entirely forbidden from considering the race of its citizens at all?
I'd love a good answer here. Shell is clunky and annoying as hell, but a "better" language like python is very verbose for typical shell stuff like process management (processes, pipes, signal handling), small text handling tasks like regex matching or string splitting.

Perl is maybe the closest here, but it certainly has it's fair share of annoyances, and I more or less dropped perl for python decades ago and don't particularly feel like going back.

If he's a true jerk, he'll report the now cancelled debt to his country's equivalent of the IRS. If you owe money and some or all of that is cancelled, in many countries the amount cancelled might count as income to you for tax purposes.

I'd expect that in this case it would not be income, because it sounds like the court determined that the debt was not valid in the first place and so it is more of a "there was never a debt in the first place" than a "cancelled debt" situation, but being investigated to determine that would likely be annoying.

Sharing the Blame for the Ebola Crisis
People who go all into conspiracies, cults, and general religious or political manipulation, do it for emotional reasons; facts and reason will not move them. They need something else to make them feel safe, loved, valued, etc.

I don't know if the best antidote is giving them what they need in a less destructive way, or early education and protection from indoctrination so the next generations become less gullible.

(I'm no epidemiologist etc.)

Because that's a terrible idea that doesn't make any sense. I understand the logic and why it's tempting, and I've even read some of the evidence supposedly backing it up. I find it thoroughly unconvincing.

I won't address the moral side, just the practical.

The virus disproportionately effects the elderly, yes, but far from exclusively. We have seen the non-elderly death rates with distancing in effect. If we could confidently say that >70% of the non-elderly population already had the virus, then this might make some sense. But since at the moment we cannot say that, then this is a method for quickly getting to >90% of the population, and killing off an unknown but far from trivial percentage of us.

Also, I have seen some evidence that the magnitude of symptoms is partly dependent on the degree of exposure. If that is the case, I really really do not want to be sitting between two infectious people in a movie theater or sports arena. But this would be commonplace with the whole "let's just sacrifice the elderly" approach.

It’s to be in a position of privilege to be able to say that healthcare reform or addition treatment are “pet social projects,” when they are not beside the point.

Understanding the Ray Ecosystem and Community
Infection cases or death cases? I would assume that more people get the virus than are reported because some people are asymptomatic, there might not be enough tests and some people might opt not to get tested and go to the hospital. With regard to the number of deaths, I would be surprised if that was under reported since it is very hard to ignore a death. If someone was in critical condition due to breathing issues, I would assume that they would be hospitalized and tested. In addition, if someone was in the hospital and died from something not Corona related, it seems likely that if they happened to have Corona they would be listed as a corona death due to CDC recommendations https://www.scribd.com/document/455607875/US-HHS-Document-to... .

So seeing as total cases are likely underestimated and total deaths are likely overestimated, the 1% hardly seems to me to be the lower floor.

I think you can apply this by journaling or keeping a personal diary as well. Just sit before bed and recount the thoughts of the day and put them on paper, maybe intending to read over them later to find out when some event happened or in 20 years to see what you were doing during the quarantine.

The act of reflection and organization itself is meditative.
Forfeit.
I'd bet along side you. There's likely to be 10X more unreported than misattributed cases.

Not to mention misattributions in the other direction - e.g California's discovery of earlier cases, and subsequent backdating or earliest known case.

> So make it wealth based?

Affirmative action via wealth is already in place at Harvard.

Shockingly, not all adversity faced by black Americans comes simply from wealth disparities, although that is a large part of it. I'm white and I've seen enough not-so-subtle racism to understand that those things can have a large cumulative effect, even if each individual instance is someone just making a small snap judgement about you.

It's funny that studies like these about intentional affirmative action policies rise to the top of HN, whereas studies showing that black people with the exact same credentials are half as likely to get an interview for a job don't.
I'm not reading anything into it. The individual beats of the plot might be different, but the overall plot, Jerry deals with the idea that his girlfriend dated Newman, is similar enough that it would get the new idea thrown out if it was pitched for an episode of the show.
> if you thought Jez murdered a girlfriend's dog

Never used the word "murdered" not sure where you got that from? He did in fact kill the dog.

> then purposely fed it to her.

I did misremember this part. I still stand by the idea that eating a dog in front of their owner is really, really dark.

> The premise of the episode can be boiled down to the following:

> 1. Jez meets attractive girl. 2. Jez wants to date this girl (they get along well). 3. Jez accidentally does something that would prevent #2 from happening. 4. Jez tries his darndest to hide his mistake. 5. The truth gets found out and girl casts Jez away.

If you ignore the part of the script where Jez KILLS the girls dog and then EATS IT IN FRONT OF HER then yeah it is pretty innocent.

> The only really "dark" thing about the episode is that the dog was pregnant, which was only briefly mentioned (and easily forgotten).

If you think that is the only really dark thing about the episode then I think you and I might really disagree on what constitutes dark and this argument is pointless.

Ask HN: Best Free Python Editor?
I recently started working in Python and reached straight for VSCode, because it's been so great for other languages. But its Python plugin is... extremely underwhelming. MyPy/Pylint checks don't run until you save, take several seconds, and don't even place the underlines in the right place; they all end up at the start of the line. Autocomplete support is minimal.

I know PyCharm exists, but is there a free editor that does a better job than VSCode?

Here in Germany, the last mentioned tier will also have looked fondly upon getting the money wired in from Ireland and may have lived with the assumption that they don't have to think about taxes at all. At least some of the "owners" of those basic, Ikea-equipped flats did not really strike me as being quite up to it. There has also grown a job market for "room service" agencies, cleaning and equipping AirBnB rental objects for many "owners". I've seen their actual check lists (think restroom cleaning checklist) pinned to the object's door.

Cocoon Cam no longer supported after May 31st
I had a half-black friend (which just means he was 100% black by our standards) get admitted to Harvard. The entire time he had this insecurity that he only got in because he was black and not because he was smart. Sure, the guy wasn't as smart as me in some areas, like he didn't pick up programming as fast, but he was smarter than me across a larger spectrum and definitely seemed more poised to become a leader. It was painful for me to watch him defeat himself over it, he had a bright future for someone who came up from such a difficult background.

Definitely, you have to control what you can, and not let the things people say get to your head, I wonder how he came to the conclusions he did.
