I don't disagree with being inclusive, I disagree with the idea that grammatical details of how we speak have anything to do with inclusiveness.

It's like if I start complaining that you use "their" to refer to a software vendor because that implies there's more than one person involved and so you're not being inclusive of solo founders. Or that "their" antromorphizes a vendor and therefore isn't inclusive of sea cucumbers.

In reality, this has zero consequence to anyone, other than guys who enjoy feeling offended on behalf of others.

EDIT: I'm finding a lot of pearls in your comment history. Like this one where you complain of people telling you what to do https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23006925 Now you know how we feel, I guess.
I've given up running my own k8s at home a couple of times. It does seem to be getting easier, but then upgrading and maintaining breaks me again.
+ the other stuff like running your own container registry.
Then with new centos podman breaks everything that worked OK in docker.
I hate this stuff, so many problems its worth ignoring the whole stack.
Quick drive-by response:

>Ability to subscribe to individual pull requests

>Automatic linking between related issues and pull requests (with backreferences)

Both are planned

>The request is itself a git branch, which makes it easy to compare both the current state of the request to master, as well as see incremental changes to the request as individual commits. I'm not sure how to accomplish that in a mailing list.

Not planned, but you can pretty trivially do this yourself. Just git checkout -b test-branch before applying the commits locally.

>Ability to search by tags/labels

Already there, kind of. You can search by the patch prefix, which is generally used to indicate the subproject. This is also supported outright on tickets, for which it's arguably a lot more useful.
I have found the new Skype UI to be unbearably bad. I can't navigate it to save my own life. It's quite possible he just overlooked it.
I have the opposite: when I see C or C++, I'm terrified of touching it for fear of messing up the memory handling. Rust allows me relax.

It's a really intriguing approach; most use "build.rs" to do codegen.
Yes, but it doesn't say gatekeeping is only when newspapers are privately owned. It's a bit like person A saying they have a new car, person B conflating "car" with "any means of transportation", and then acting puzzled because person A doesn't have an airplane.

Tools I use are youtube-dl for videos and media, a PDF printer for storing websites - preferably used in conjunction with reader mode in Firefox - and the screenshotting tool of Firefox for snippets from webpages (think mostly tweets). Especially the last one is particularly crude as it does not allow to search the information. (I've heard of Screenotate but haven't tried it yet).

> Is killing people in other countries like that not scandalous?

I point out you specifically said you'd point out a corruption scandal. Your cited use of force may be scandalous or even a war crime, but it's a stretch to call it 'corrupt'.

The crossbeam crate implements epoch-based GC for concurrency in Rust. It's widely used and seems to work fairly well.
> Everywhere else C has been being replaced a good part of the last two decades, even all major C compilers are written in C++.

You keep saying this, but I'd recommend you to look at a few random "C++" files in https://github.com/gcc-mirror/ for example.

For many of these projects, "moving to C++" often means to change the file extension. Or not even that, sometimes it's just changing the build setting to "Compile as C++".

There's no reason for holy wars. Fact is that regular C code is still ruling the world. Maybe not in the financial industry. Maybe it's embedded in a few C++ syntactic constructs. Maybe some people even found a way to use RAII in a way that doesn't suck in a large project. But the vast majority of the stuff that does something is still dangerous, evil, ugly C.

And now excuse me while I go watch another talk named "C++ Features to avoid" or "Taming build times in a large C++ codebase" or "Why we went back to plain C"
Or just fix the incredibly high fees. In many European countries (not the UK) public education is incredibly affordable, in some like Germany and Denmark even free. It's a choice to make fees so high, it's not really necessary for the product. What do US universities spend their money on? Admin, sport stadiums and famous professors that then barely teach because what makes them famous is their research.

You'd go cheaper traveling to Europe, studying for three years at a German or Danish university, learning the language as a bonus, and come back afterwards with no debt. Some even have English courses.
Thanks for the feedback, I agree that the Postman approach may not be the best solution. I'll look into another way to display API docs!
> it’s implemented in the driver level

Not anymore, at least for any system that uses libinput (which I think is most of them at this point).

The reason libinput doesn't implement it is exactly for the reason you described, too.
Are you sure? I don't know the specifics on how Skype used to work, but I'd assume that they were just using intermediary server to establish connection via NAT hole punching, and then proceed to communicate peer to peer.
This basis of that claim is so laughable...

> There are rumors that Qin may have endured bullying at Facebook, Young said. However, Young is not an employee at the company and he said that most of the protesters did not work there, either.
The Internet Society (ISOC) would get the 1.135 billion dollars, of which, $360 million would be debt piled onto PIR which was going to be sold to Ethos Capital who nobody knows where the money is coming from and has a murky corporate structure being run by ICANN insiders who claims to have the non profit world's best interests at heart and it's not all about profit.
Why even have this as a private thing. In other countries this works fine as a public loan offer by the state (which also helps to keep fees reasonable).
Google offers the functionality to add your own acronyms and products on the commercial speech to text. I think there is even a manual quality feedback loop in alpha.
Understandable. I was initially confused - moving from Linux to MacBook? But 'touchpad' explains it.

My frustration with MacOs is, mousing around to all four corners of the screen constantly. They've separated everything into the corners. But with a touchpad, less frustrating.
But, since people don't mine uranium randomly, one may assume that your back yard doesn't have enough to be price-competitive with modern mines.
I'm not sure if 1900x1200 counts as hidpi. I have a 4K screen and I find the experience at native resolutions awful. Please install Dia and tell me about your wonderful experiences with that program. Provided you can see any of the icons that is. Then tell me why the scaling isn't across the entire operating system but app specific.

For stuff like this, Linux is bullshit. For many desktop usecases, Linux is bullshit. After a Skype call I need to kill the app else the process takes my CPU usage to 100%. Why? God knows. Probably the same reason my lock screen sometimes shows a password prompt when I press 'Esc' or 'Enter' and sometimes it requires me to click the mouse. Did I mention I spent the last nine months without a working microphone because the drivers for my new Thinkpad hadn't made their way into any major distribution??

Don't get me wrong. I love Linux. I'd take its broken ass over Windows any day of the week. But fuck me if I don't miss macOS.
But that's the point. All UI frameworks are like that.

You can't `new MyRecyclerView(...)`, you've got to `LayoutInflater.inflate(MyRecyclerView, parent)`, which isn't any different from `React.render(MyApp, parent)`.

It would become a magnet. However, given the broader membership base and their history, I think it would be harder to take over something like the EFF or e.g. the mozilla Foundation (and before you yell "browser maker, conflict of interest" at me, I have a .dev domain to sell to you...).

The ISOC, while they proudly proclaim 67K members, is an organization with largely silent/inactive members (aside from lobbyists), most of whom probably forgot by now that they are members at all - or at least that's what it seems to be from my perspective.

The EFF (or even mozilla) on the other hand have more active members, and it would be harder to do a (slow-moving) hostile takeover. Of course, everything can be undermined and taken over, as the ISOC shows. However, the ISOC seems "burned" at this point where it would be extremely hard to rebuild and recover, while the EFF e.g. is still functional and it would be easier to keep it from deteriorating in the first place than trying to undo damage already done.
It's not fair to blame Keynes. If they didn't print money, corrupt govt would tax the poor.

Keynesian govt spending can pay workers directly for useful work, and even for not working at all. Unemployment insurance is Keynesian.

I'm sure so far as when I login I select "Ubuntu on Wayland" and when I search through the output of top for "wayland" it's there. I'm not sure how else I prove I'm running Wayland. The machine I'm sending this from now is still running 18.04 on "Wayland" and I cannot set the DPI independently for each monitor, if I select my external monitor and set 200% and click "Done", I get 200% on all displays.

Haha, yeah I'm definitely not quitting my day job over this, and you're right about the costs as well - Pantry is fairly cheap to maintain.

I might keep it as a free service for the time being and do some research to see if there's value in a paid tier. Thanks!
You can't tell me what not to do!!!
Oh! That explains why my F1 has such good ROM support, it was a major reason for buying it (another one is cheap replacement parts).

They still disrespect ROM users: You have to go through a convoluted process involving Windows software and a Xiaomi account AND wait 3 days to unlock the phone - but that's way down from the 6 weeks I've read about on other Xiaomis, so you can be sure I'm not going to buy one of those.
The problem is that this slush methane is going to melt with global warming and is a much more potent greenhouse gas than CO2.
News Corp is very good at manipulating the line. WSJ is not the same as it used to be. It is not fair and balanced. You can still still influence by omitting and focusing on key areas of stories. This applies to all media and News Corp orgs especially.
> In that, it strays far too close to the dangerous notion of "advocating for ending the lockdown, however flawed, is killing people".

I have no problem with advocating to end the lockdown. We need to do it as soon as practicable. You ar correct in supposing that a lockdown that lasts longer than necessary ends lives. I think there are some good steps we can take towards that, such as reopening underutilized hospitals in areas where that utilization has plateued.

You are doing more than that, you are trying to summarize everything we know about covid. In an environment with so much misinformation about covid floating around that is demonstrably dangerous, it behooves is to be extra care to not feed into that cycle.
Now watch the crooks file a lawsuit claiming breach of contract against ICANN.
That's a very reasonable and old idea, comrade.
I remember the old (pre-MS) skype being quite good at punching holes in firewall by using a number of tricks.

Well, I won’t call GTK/Qt as a macOS toolkit... but in Linux world, both are used similarly. I think that’s the difference.

> I'm not sure a degree, a pile of debt, and 4 years of opportunity cost are worth more than your wits and a clean slate.

I have to agree, it isn't.

College these days are a business like any other. Its almost more valuable to toss someone into the deep end to learn to think on their own feet rather than have them come out of a college with 4 years of 'experience' thinking they know anything about how life/business/money works. Going to college to get a certification (i.e. law, medicine) might potentially be worth it but I know people who have left those industries as well.

What I think is more unbelievable is that all degrees are 4 year highly structured degrees, which is simply not the case for every job out there. Looking back it all seems so ludicrous, the whole process of being educated in that system. Even video games today are more realistic than this.
* understanding where loss functions and regularization terms come from allows you to reason about the right choice for your problem and possibly to extend/tweak them to suit your needs. Are you working directly with probabilities? Then maybe you don’t want to use L2 regularization (Gaussian prior) but a beta prior or something with the right support. Are you modeling a Poisson rate (e.g. how many people buy my product for every dollar I spend on advertising), then use a Poisson likelihood (loss function would be negative log likelihood).

* do you want to have your NN model your uncertainty as well as the mean? How do you incorporate that into the loss function? Hint: loss = (yhat- y)^2/sigma_hat^2 is missing a term but you wouldn’t know that if you don’t come from Bayesian stats.

* the rabbit hole goes as deep as you want. Understanding Bayesian stats removes a lot of the “ad hoc” and intuitive guesswork that goes into ML when you don’t have a solid statistical foundation for what you’re doing.
Is there really a story here? It's not like he's stealing and selling from the NHS's own stockpile.

By all accounts he's maybe doing a good thing by connecting smaller PPE vendors to customers. From what I've read (and know first hand), smaller suppliers find it notoriously difficult to break into NHS procurement.

That article states that "he is a head of procurement for the NHS in London" (the italicisation of "a" is mine). What does that even mean?

Sounds more like a guy who's doing a bit of business on the side and Guardian haven't really shown conclusively that there's a conflict of interest.
I understood that countries with 'free' education, had a high bar for entry. So not really open to the public; open to the top 10% or whatever.

If you pay (in the USA) you can get in somewhere, guaranteed. Because there's a spectrum of institutions, so you can find a place that will take you where you are educationwise, and pull you up from there. Some start at IT college, move to a Community College, then a State or private one, then graduate. Cost-effective and you ultimately get to advertise the place you ended at.
> it's every major nation

No, Countries in Europe are providing fiscally sourced replacement to wages/salaries. For example Denmark is paying 80% of an employees salary if the company does not lay them off. This is a drastically different intervention than what the US is doing.
Neither is what being proposed nor is a reasonable reading of the above, if Google hires out an entire group and its associated work then the university and federal research funding agencies should maintain equity in its results, many universities have programs for exactly this kind of thing.

Also afaik John Martinis maintained a paid and tenured position at UCSB during his work at Google.
So I tested this on my XPS 15 with Ubuntu 18.04. The earbuds paired perfectly, and after selecting them in sound I have output. If I put them back in their case, the sound switches back to the laptop speakers, and if I pull them out again, they reconnect and sound switches to them.

I must therefore conclude that something has been broken since 18.04 as it neither worked for me on 19.10 nor now on 20.04.

Claims-Based Identity
Not sure if this will be interesting/welcome here, but I just had this experience and it kind of blew me away.

I ordered a small load cell from Amazon. Shipping got messed up and they detected the exception and said it should arrive by April 31st. It didn't, so I just popped in to Amazon chat help and everything that you see in the image is what transpired next.

It figured out why I was there, provided a few reasonable canned responses, provided useful information in a natural tone and reassured me at the end that this will be handled one way or another.

All of this without bothering anyone on their end.

Clearly if the order status page was updated with this state I wouldn't have had to do this, but features can get wedged in a backlog and this provides a reasonable way to recover the customer experience without a lot of incremental cost.

Amazon gets blasted regularly for the decisions of their leadership, and sometimes that negativity can trickle down to the folks doing good work. Just wanted to recognize a small win here for the product and engineering folks that put this together. Nice job!
It depends for what you need that core. If you want to build a mobile phone, a router, a NAS, a set top box, a server, you might be better served by ARM since it has much better software support and their cores are already optimized for some scenarios.

SPARC is also free like RISCV but the greatest SPARC manufacturer, Fujitsu, is moving over to ARM 64.

It doesn't matter if an ISA or a core is free if it will cost you very much to make optimizations so it's fast enough and efficient enough, to fit it for some fab like TSMC and have the software ported and bugs sorted.
To the top with you!

I believe it’s full access to the recent news articles that are included in WSJ online subscription (No archive, no WSJ pro, no databases), but I don’t know for sure. It’s sort of like Spotify, how do you know you have access to every single album by artist X? All of the major front page articles people talk about are in News+ but without looking up each one in both sources I don’t really know for sure.
Yes risk is attributed to premiums. Yet I talked to an employee at a large US insurance firm and he said they take a loss with premiums. All the premiums do is go into marketing and advertising. They make their money by investing. So basically insurance firms are hedge funds with cash flow.

> They are not buying or rather spending more - that's the problem

I think that you might be missing the point of the GP. They're not saying that trickle down will invigorate the economy. They're saying that QE is bread and circuses for the wealthy. Asset inflation is precisely the point. This does has some negative secondary effects (the GP mentioned housing, education, and medicine), but as long as consumer goods stay cheap there's essentially no downside to inflating the cost of Veblen goods.

Your info is out of date. Singular “they” is now standards compliant.

‘The singular “they” is a generic third-person singular pronoun in English. Use of the singular “they” is endorsed as part of APA Style because it is inclusive of all people and helps writers avoid making assumptions about gender. Although usage of the singular “they” was once discouraged in academic writing, many advocacy groups and publishers have accepted and endorsed it, including Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary.

‘Singular “they” is covered in Section 4.18 of the APA Publication Manual, Seventh Edition’
