If you eat vegetables in the US, they were probably picked by farmworkers paid below minimum wage who are probably do not have legal work authorization. If you eat meat, in addition to having killed an animal (which isn't an ethical issue for everyone) meat processing plants continue to be the source of endless health and safety violations and which also exploit immigrants, both legal and illegal.

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. And by extension, there is no ethical employment under capitalism.

The notion that you can get a single job that somehow places you outside society and the economy and puts you above other workers morally or ethically is fiction. By all means, seek to minimize your impact or make your own ethical choices, but there is no choice without some sort of ethical compromise.
Some (perhaps even most) problems don't need top tier coders, so hiring them for such problems is a waste of resources.

This was my chief complaint working in a military intel shop. It's insane trusting their products in highly critical situations.

The exact opposite of an ELI5, but a very well written and in-depth overview on why touchpads suck outside of macOS: https://pavelfatin.com/scrolling-with-pleasure

the tl;dr is that when touchpads were added to windows, they used the legacy APIs which made assumptions about them being mouses with notched scroll wheels. And while microsoft has since released APIs which support high precision scrolling, applications have been slow to adopt them (sometimes because of wanting to be compatible with windows 7 and older).

That is perhaps my largest issue with science. On controversial topics, the level of criticism is not equally applied.

It is even worse when we talk about what science filters down to the average voter, as even in cases where the scientists may be fair in their criticism, the public eye is still selective and given unequal weight to certain criticisms.
What is an ocean, but a sea of drops? It starts with employees speaking up individually. Raise your voice and be heard. Upper management won't learn moral lessons on their own; they need to hear employees nagging them to be better people.
Yes, very much so. Good luck and thank you!
Thanks for telling me, I had no idea. It looks like Firefox and Edge don't render in the same way Inkscape/Chrome do.

It seems converting the whole SVG from "Object to Path" fixed the issue everywhere.
In that case, rather than bringing my feelings into it which implies that you interpreted it that way I would suggest something like this:

"Your email had appeared to have a slightly sarcastic ring to it, while everyone interprets sarcasm differently I found it to be unprofessional towards the clients, can you please ensure that you review the tone of your emails such that they're not misunderstood?

Saying you're unhappy about it sounds weak and emotional in this context. Happiness isn't expected from an email in this context.

As a note: Grammarly says this is 4/5 in terms of formality (very strong intensity) and dishearting 2/5 (moderate intensity).

It looks like this doesn't take viewport size into account. A smaller window still shows dots of the same size, just distributed over a smaller area. Given that it's (more) idiomatic to maximize windows under Linux and Windows than under MacOS, those results could be skewed.

The tensor cores are used for real-time raytracing, ML-based anti-aliasing during gaming, and other features. The Turing whitepaper has a lot of information on that.

A more generic answer to this question is that everything NVIDIA puts in their GPUs is for the gaming market. Other use cases are incidental.
Oh God no. Alpine is the most-used Linux distro out there (containers count, remember) and it's mostly used specifically to avoid the opaque mass of spaghetti unit files that is systemd service management.

I have these settings in my .xinitrc on my ThinkPad T420, but never had to do anything terribly arcane to get it to work as I expect it to.

exec xinput set-prop 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad' 'Synaptics Tap Action' 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 &
exec xinput set-prop 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad' 'Synaptics Two-Finger Scrolling' 1 1 &
exec xinput set-prop 'TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint' 'libinput Accel Speed' -.3 &
exec xinput set-prop 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad' 'Synaptics Coasting Speed' 0 0 &

Sure, it could be more fine-tuned, but it works just fine that way.

On other laptops I've had to reduce the "finger size" (I can't remember the name of the setting), so I could use it even with a light touch, but that's the biggest problem I've had with it so far.
Absolutely. As a concrete example, the US Navy stopped teaching celestial navigation and have only recently begun to teach it again.

I did, actually. Comments like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22870325 are downvoted because they are difficult to parse, they direct insults at the reader, and they felt that defending Amazon in this case was not a good position.

You've done the same here -- leaning on insults (lazy) and assumptions.
I think the point is that there is no evidence too support that it always does this. Worth more investigation. Specifically on more people that had the antibodies and were never sick. Would be amazing to know when this will cause damage.
I'm in a similar boat. I planned to swap out my 1950x with the 39xxx series threadrippers and got bit by the socket change. The older i7 3930k was swapped out with a 3900x while we sorted the new hardware... and I'll be damned, but that AM4 CPU, paired with 4x16G sticks of RAM and an M2 drive has been a wonderful Linux workstation for development.

I think a lot of people have reported having that experience, and I think it's been deeply under-investigated by programming language researchers.
This.

One unfortunate side effect is PHP's choice to use the word "global" for what isn't really global but request scope. The "global variables are bad" folks look down on the PHP global scope just because of the name.

Tearing down the entire request after processing is (IMHO) a remarkable effective approach.

As a Slackware and OpenBSD user I've really never understood this complaint. The init scripts they ship with are neither difficult to understand nor hard to read, and new ones are very easy to write.

Maybe the LSB stuff was awful; I never used it, and for that matter I can't think of a reason I would want to. It's the old FreeDesktop.org issue: it's a probably-interesting solution to a problem I just don't have.
I don’t agree that a meme like “do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life” means as much as you do.

I think watching people exist in the same literal loop of agency for 50 years is vastly more important than an arbitrary set of sounds. If the sound is a key to a cognitive idea, and the idea is “climb ladder for 50 years” literally?

The sounds and idea is mapped to a literal behavior. Focus on climbing a ladder. Why? Because that’s what we focus our agency on. Ladder to where? Up.

What?

Nobody should be set on an objective like climbing ladders to nowhere.

Do what you love. Be prepared to give it up and learn to love something new, and you’ll learn to love to learn and not get anxious about climbing ladders to nowhere, thus burning out.

People with a lot of money are able to make a lot of money and make it look easy. Climbing the ladder to where you can add two big numbers to get a bigger number based on a sense for generating new emotional objects but utility that’s more of the same is asinine and unfair.

You’re all building the analytics engines they’re using to push you to discover. IMO until a hardware revolution comes, software is hitting endgame for the masses.

My data set isn’t so large I can’t analyze it with anything more than an Nvidia card.

Why do we need the cloud when iPhone SE has an AI chip?

There’s novelty to consider for consumers. User experience sucks. Maybe some graphical toolkits for home users to leverage their graphics cards more easily?

For various reasons I've had to alternate between 2017 macbook pro and linux thinkpads - using only one or the other for a few months at a time (mac for 3 months, then thinkpad 3 months).

I didn't know there was a "trackpad meme" - but to me the thinkpad is fine, but unquestionably more frustrating than the mac. I've tried to tweak things but never made it feel good.

I even set up a camera at one point to try and figure out what was causing my frustrations. Looking at the footage I noticed even though the thinkpad felt slower (or a bit "sluggish"?) I would still often slightly over-shoot my target.

I can't figure out exactly why it's different but it sure feels like some sort of black magic on the macs part.
We do not have the data to support or refute the original statement. Mostly because the US has a poor understanding of the uniqueness and context of every person's immune system and how it plays a role in new viruses, reactivating old viruses, depleting nutrition required to successfully fight off multiple strains through the winter season, having multiple pathogens at once and a suppressed immune system, etc. This lack of understanding requires a lot more testing of pathogens, T-cells, mast cells, and signaling (cytokines, etc) from a lot of people. It's usually seen as too costly or invasive. Not that this current pandemic has been costly ;-)

In the US Midwest it was very harsh for flu, conjunctivitis, strep, etc. My children both had coughs, fever, ruptured right ear and one had chicken pox style rash (late December). Doctors never tested my son, my daughter tested negative for flu with multi-day symptoms and then positive for flu A (same test) ~10 days later. So there is/was a definite lack of data. Unfortunately, we do not have the samples to go back in time and apply newer tests. Luckily, France had the foresight to preserve some of the samples.
Companies optimize towards whatever drives their customers buying decisions.

For some makers that’s going to be performance or cost. For businesses laptops reliability and security are going to be big factors.

For Apple the overall experience is a large part of why people buy; Apple users want a great hardware experience integrated into the OS, and they’re willing to sacrifice performance and price to get it.
> Public companies have a responsibility to their share holders to maximize profit. Every legal avenue there is to do, will be used by these companies. If Amazon stops doing so, someone else will and eventually they will have enough of the market that the responsible company will have to close shop.

> Take the example of a multiplayer game. It should not be the responsibility of the player to not exploit the rules of the games to their fullest. It should be the responsibility of the developers to fix exploits and ban/punish gamers who outright attempt to break the system (cheat).

Those aren't mutually exclusive, IMHO. Instead or in-addition to patching the "exploits," the law could be changed to make it clear that companies have obligations besides solely delivering "value" to their shareholders (IIRC that understanding of companies is actually pretty recent). Obviously it'd take more work to figure out how to do that than an internet comment warrants, but I'm not convinced it's impossible.

That’d be 160,000 deaths even while under social distancing and isolation measures. The number would be much higher if a large portion of the country and particularly the New York Area weren’t staying at home. We’ve made it to 70k in 2 months with social distancing.

Actually, I’ve seen this tactic of argument with the number of deaths incremented for months, including from our esteemed pres. First it was “there are NO deaths, relax,” then “all this for 3,000 deaths?”, then “this many people die from the flu!”, and now the same argument with a 160k figure and alcohol. I wonder at what point this shape of argument will stop being made.
You're splitting hairs in a way that doesn't matter. MGM vs. Grokster and subsequent interpretation is clear that inducing copyright infringement is something that a DMCA takedown covers. Indeed, Github links to this ruling in their own documents about DMCA counter notices: https://help.github.com/en/github/site-policy/guide-to-submi...

This is a very myopic view. Very few people have the luxury of quitting a job because they don't agree with 100% of things their company is doing.

"the true power in society is held by a relatively small number of people who hold a massive amount of capital" ... so they can direct collective actions (eg. a free enterprise).

>If there were an incentive for the justices to produce "sound bites", it would already exist.

I think it already does exist, as there have been plenty of quote mining of judges at all levels that gets fed into news reports, many designed to stir outrage. To the extent that quote mining it a threat to the fair and just application of law should be an issue I think the legal system (among other groups impacted) should be more targeted at resolving.
I don't think the subjectivity of a politicized situation is evidence of politically motivated subjectivity. I think it is adequately explained by the inherent subjectivity involved with human interpretation.

To illustrate: nearly everyone varies their frameworks for justification, even when the situation is clearly apolitical.

e.g. Even a mother raising a child will use these justifications frameworks interchangeably as needed. I can hear my mother now:

* "Why? Because I said so" (textualism)

* "Be nice and share with your sister" (societal effects)

* "You know what I meant" (originalism)

Blockchain: Big but Small
Ok. Not the person you're quoting, but I _do_ have ~20yrs experience playing piano, and got to a _decent_ level when I was still pursuing tutoring/classes.

There definitely is a creative aspect to interpretation, and I agree it is big (in potential if not how much it is exploited often). However you're playing with fundamentally different building blocks for your artistic expression. Interpretation is much more subtle; you're leaving your own mark on something someone else originally made whereas composition can feel much more like conjuring art out of the ether/your mind. The infinite variations on a piece one can produce are still bounded by the original melody, and are vastly inferior in count/number than the variations of music that can be created "from scratch".

In any case, the parent comment author did not seem to me to have reached a level where they felt comfortable experimenting with interpretation - and may in fact not have achieved the requisite level to begin to be able to actively choose how they interpret pieces beyond "trying to be as accurate to the sheet music as possible". In contrast, if you're improvising, or composing with some kind of software, it is much more approachable to attempt to translate a random idea into music that can be listened to (to judge how close or off the mark our attempt is from our idea).

Basically you can skip the lengthy manual skill acquisition and jump right into playing around with the entire range of sounds and melodies that can be made.
