> It is beneficial that the behavior is defined, and therefore consistent. So you don't run into cases where it works on your laptop, but not on your server.

I already don't run into such cases though? Do you run into cases where changing an overflow to wrap-around (e.g. maybe via unsigned?) makes it suddenly your code work on 2 machines, whereas leaving it as overflow makes it work on 1 machine but not the other?

Removing fsync is generally referred to as "running with scissors" mode, although postgres now supports it better with unlogged tables.
Do you feel this effort is progressing at a scale where we can have something for 60% of the global population (now 7.8B) within a year? (Edit: Yeah, now that I review this, I realize it's impossible for you to answer. I wish there would be more transparancy in in things like these.)
Cool, I guess?

My gut reaction though is that this would be one step closer to a world where we're running iOS instead of macOS and we don't really have computers anymore.

No more terminal (unless you pay $4/month for the terminal app! that's a pro feature), no more editors (but you can use this great cloud-based editor for the price of your personal data), no more running your own apps on your own device without paying the Apple Developer fee every year.

I don't know. Maybe that's far-fetched. But it seems increasingly possible, and it'd be a sad day if it ever happens.

Yup, I included set-top into embedded, too.

Also just to be clear I don't say that rust isn't for embedding, just currently development is focused around server (and kinda desktop) usage with some focus on some
of the most wide spread embedding targets.

I hope in the future rust will be the go-to alternative for C/C++ in any use-case (at least any which llvm supports). But we are not there yet. But we are slowly getting there step by step.
By alone I mean who in the world will help you if you're a psychopathic killer who enjoys torturing animals and people? Who is the last person on the face of the earth who will not give up on you?

Your parents, that is if you have parents that love you this way. Many don't but many do.

Every single one of your other relationships relies on effort by you to maintain. If you violate certain societal norms all bets are off. All relationships are basically just mutual trade agreements except for the parent - child bond. It's a cynical world view but it's real, there are lines everywhere that you have to make efforts not to cross because you're aware that if those lines are crossed people will abandon you.
fragmede's point doesn't need a rebuttal because it has nothing to do with the actual disagreement.

> > nobody asked for the fucking fancy cake! [...] We were all very happy with the cookies we had before.

> No, [...] you're wrong.

Clearly the the profit-maximizing action is to manufacture cake, 'free'-to-play games, and heroin, rather than cookies, well-designed games, and nothing; no one in this thread (that I've noticed at least) is actually disputing that; we're saying that we don't want cake, as far as we can tell no one actually wants cake, and it's axiologically bad that production is focused on cake rather than cookies.

Some people are then (rightly or wrongly) blaming the baker, but the only thing I was asserting was that no, the fact that people pay money for cake does not mean they want cake. (In the absence of any other evidence it suggests that people want cake - which is the reason capitalism ever works at all for anything - but we have multiple people saying cake is terrible, so there is not a absence of other evidence.)

Apple one day might start paying dividends. As the company matures, and growth slows, returning value to shareholders (if no better options exist) is a wise use of capital. Value can be returned via dividends, but also through share buybacks.
Except "the population feeling safe" is the only metric that really matters. Everything else is a proxy. If the population doesn't feel safe then they will protest and not resume activities. The other metrics can be golden but if the population disagree you will have trouble in a democracy.
I think Cinnamon is really underrated. It has sane defaults, is reasonably performant, and will be familiar to anyone coming from Windows.

In general I feel that Gnome has terrible defaults, and are hostile to the user making changes away from these defaults. It's also less performant than Cinnamon -- animations can lag on my machine for example, and my machine isn't exactly bad.

I think Plasma is nice, and it's certainly more customizable than Cinnamon, but I think this comes at the cost of reliability and an overall feeling of cohesiveness. I also think there's a point where you don't want every right click menu to contain an option which allows you to fundamentally change the functionality of your desktop.

I'd probably be using XFCE or Mate if Cinnamon didn't exist.
what seems very weird to me (as a non US citizen), is that most working class people in the US seem convinced the 'american dream' is synonymous with being a millionare/billionare and introducing legalization to level the playing field of the latter will hurt their own changes at becoming part of the former.

It might also be the reason social democratic/socialistic parties never got a foothold in the US post world war 2.

Being underground won't help much if your assailants decide to smoke you out. To stop that you'd need to shoot back or have a very robust and well designed fortification, with air filtration and redundant hidden vents. If you were committed to fighting back, an above ground fortification made out of reinforced concrete would be easier/cheaper to construct and would probably give you a better view of your surroundings. You'll also need several people you trust living there with you, so you could keep lookouts stationed around the clock and cover for each other.

All in all, it seems like a hopeless scenario. A better approach is probably to make friends with your neighbors and try not to look like you have anything worth stealing.
"Hate speech, on the other hand, is not. There is no place in this world for blatantly false allegations or denying historical evidence."

The issue is you can't pick the arbitrator of what is true. Once you do you create the tyrant. For once you have someone who will determine that which is true they can determine criticism of their decisions are also hate speech.
That's history today, that is.

They were talking about holocaust denial fam.

A complete definition of hate speech is not necessary to have this conversation, only examples that are definitely hate speech. Arguing that the holocaust did not happen is an example of hate speech for any possible reasonable definition of hate speech.
I agree wholeheartedly, especially with the last paragraph :)
The statement
> The platform is a popular home to neo-Nazis, fascists, holocaust deniers, and racists.

can be applied to any platform with any reach on the internet. Also, the sources mentioned in the github issue are all biased towards the left. Nothing wrong with that, but there's no neutrality at play here.

Honestly, this sounds very arrogant. privacytoolsio won't recommend Minds, because they think you'll turn into a racist just by using the site.
Another solution that I explored a bit was using the google docs api. It returns a Json structure of the doc. I just used the drive export as a shortcut but you could totally create something neater with the drive api.

with recent developments like iPadOS as well as mouse/trackpad support something like this seems more viable than ever before (in a sense iPad + Magic Keyboard is already a thing)

What is hate speech? It’s actually very difficult to define. One culture and ideology might come up with a very clear distinction of what hate speech is, but a different culture and ideology might disagree entirely.
Possibly because they haven't read this book (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wealthy_Barber) or understood it.
Hate speech is already well defined and contextualized within the first few sentences of the post.
I am very unfamiliar with ECS but I am learning. Could you expand on what you're speaking of? Very interested.
There may not be as many new cars for Christmas, but it's important to keep in mind that the US economy was doing extraordinarily well prior to the pandemic - with unemployment at 3.5%, the average person in the labor market was employed for more than 50 weeks out of a 52 week year - in fact, so many people were employed that companies were starting to have to raise the amount of money they offered to workers, because they couldn't find anybody desperate for a job.

Put differently, we shut down ~20% of our economy. We'll probably restore most of that - around 15% - retail, restaurants, gyms - and our economy was doing so well that losing the remaining 5% is a blow we can take - most of those will migrate to other industries that were hiring (e.g. Amazon). 2021 will look more like 2013 (a recovery in progress) than like 2017 (a boom) or 2009 (a recession).
Yes. You are right about that, but we think a bit differently. we think that would be a good chance for contributors that want to contribute to Go projects or frameworks, also tell that we are trying to build something better and surely we have a vision. For the benchmark, we already opened a PR (https://github.com/smallnest/go-web-framework-benchmark/pull...) after running it locally. Thanks For your feedback
>trying to optimize for intellectual curiosity

Can you please define for us intellectual curiosity so that we can recognize it and its distinction from apathetic sophistry? Note that the oft-quoted rules aren't descriptive but prescriptive/normative.

Also telling people that disagree with the ethos of the website to go away isn't very productive don't you think? For better or worse we dissenters are part of the tech community and we're entitled to advocate for what we feel a commons like hn should be like.
> This implies that Wall Street fully expects a total rapid recovery from 20-30% unemployment and near instant realization of demand for everything again in short order. Including planes, restaurants, vacations, tourism, etc.

I don't follow. Could you explain how what I said implies that? And what time scale are you referring to when you say "rapid" and "near instant?"
It was used quite a bit, as far as I can remember, and there was no flickering: the switching is synchronized with the crt drawing the screen.
The stock market is signalling that it believes 6-12 month revenue expectations for the S&P 500 today [14.7% official unemployment, consumer spending trashed, entire sectors facing months of uncertainty] are roughly the same as they were in October 2019 [3.6% official unemployment, consumer spending rising]. This does not seem a logical conclusion, and so people (in this thread) are asking whether the market is functioning correctly.
Wow, how?

I read this hoping for a good discourse on the topic... instead the author barely dove into the topic. There is nothing novel or of value here.

Free speech is good, hate speech is bad. Great. But what is hate speech? What is the line that you draw? The author vaguely alludes lack of evidence, but 99% of discussions are opinion based. Are all lies hate speech?

Honestly I wish I hadn't wasted 5 minutes of my life on this.

I've been thinking about this for a while. It makes sense that if people don't need to commute they have more flexibility in choosing where to live. On the other hand, there will still be richer/safer towns with better schools where most people want to live in.

Where I live there's been a booming of new construction for office space and very expensive rents. Some small companies I know moved to work remotely cause they couldn't afford renting an office anymore. It's been puzzling why this is happening given the rise of remote work (pre COVID-19). Part of it is FANNG companies which all expanded like crazy in recent years, including many new multibillion dollar offices.

Interesting you say you work in a big company. I find remote work to be more challenging in big companies. Productivity is not the issue. The main issue is visibility to other parts of the org. Working remotely you don't get to bump into people from different teams. There are ways to make it happen remotely too, just more challenging when there are so many people.

IIRC there was a similar thing done for one of the VR systems recently, but for the hands instead of for the face. Has anyone seen any open models or software for tracking hand shape and location in this way? I would love to use it in connection with sign language processing.
I don't think it's necessarily fair to frame it this way. Disagreements over values have always been a potential flashpoint between parents and children. Especially where the children's values are in fact a reaction to their parents (perceived) bad values.

So it isn't about the latest and greatest techniques of Public discourse. This is has been going on forever.
I didn't have a specific point to make, I'm just trying to understand the world around me better.
Java has a good chance to be smaller

When you need a library you either call one of the Java default libraries (through JNI which I suspect is larger than a class file) or include a native library.

And the native code needs to be included four times for different CPUs. Or you need four different apks

Probably the normal apks are so big, because they include the support library or the Kotlin standard library
I think it's more likely they'd gut the ability to run access the local device via terminal altogether. You'd have the usual array of third-party apps which you can access remote machines via SSH, but not your iPhone/MacBook hybrid.
> No you don't. You could use Windows.

Of course, provided you don't mind the ads, the telemetry, the updates that delete your files [1], this is assuming you're actually interested in Linux.

> How do you explain that to a novice that is just trying to run linux

That perhaps you do look for Linux HW before purchasing and do not install Linux on any old crap?

Look, I could hand somebody a Chromebook and ask them to try how well Windows would run on it. The experience wouldn't be great. Same on a Talos II or some other obviously problematic HW for Windows where Linux fares much better, but it's a pointless game.

Most people don't run into this situation because BestBuy laptops come preinstalled with Windows. If they came with Linux, there'd be a reverse situation.

But with macOS people somehow don't assume they can run it on a random POS HW and indeed know that it's best to get one designed to run macOS.

Why is the standard Linux is evaluated against always different?

Just get a Linux-compatible machine and you're good, that's it. I know as I've done it many times now.

It's not about pretending there aren't issues. But I've realized we're being held back by always trying to snatch this mythical 'new user' with his BestBuy laptop, or someone with a knowingly problematic HW, (unless nVidia cooperates, there's little we could do) and Windows will continue to come preinstalled on the majority of PCs, so a mass exodus isn't happening anytime soon.

What we could do, instead of being this "honest" and just reinforcing the idea that Linux doesn't work, we could be even more frank and just say avoid this vendor, but this and this one is fine.

Reinforcing the idea that Linux is crap because of some shitty corporation that refuses to support it gives too much importance and power to said corporation when they don't deserve it.

A more precise analogy on my part would have illustrated negative externalities. I am partially reliant on you for my safety. Even if I do everything I can to protect myself and others from the virus, you still put me at risk if you don't do the same.

No one will compel you to opt into COVID tracing. You can purchase a non-iOS/Android phone. That would be a reasonable price to pay for forsaking a valuable public safety measure. Moreover, grocery stores and other businesses should be free to require proof that someone has a COVID-tracing device before entering the premises.

So there's a few things I'd take issue with here. Firstly, writing a static site with a little bit of CSS is easier than ever. Not only are there lots of neat CSS files that will help you, but browsers actually are fairly good at functioining more or less the same. There was a time that writing corect CSS was a real art, but that's not really true as much today. Secondly, I think this is one of many examples of creating an incredibly complex solution to a trivial problem - the initial problem isn't a problem, and linking into an incredibly hefty cloud based system just seems nuts in my opinion. Finally, who exactly is looking to try and increase their dependence on google?

I think part of my opinion comes from that latex/vim bent, where you're using very programmatic, specific idioms to get what you wrote, and if you're less comfortably with that then maybe you appreciate all the work of building some google docs based on monstrosity, but the more experience I've gained, the more I've learned to use the right tool for the job. Google docs isn't a blogging tool, so don't use it as one.

The biggest tax advantages for investing go to the rich, who can arrange their businesses and finances to max out retirement accounts, and very highly paid professional with fat 401k matches. No matter how someone with a normal salary and a 2% match tries they cannot get anywhere near maxing out a 401k, due to how they’re structured (over 50% of the max can only come from an employer, and the employee can’t make that up on their own). They benefit the already-well-off much more than the middle class or poor. So there’s discouragement to savings built into our tax law (or stronger-than-appropriate encouragement available only to the already-doing-quite-well, if you prefer)
