It’s not the judgment itself, it is by what standard he is judged. Everyone could judge him by their religious, cultural, personal standards. But in a solo dev vs. corporate overreach case judging him by corporatist standards bring a framing that further empowers the overreach.

There was a time when hacker culture was associated with rebellious and playful values. Such an irony on Hacker News we are discussing if he should be penalized for saying “bad words” in the face of corporate unfairness.
This is why you do what Munich did. Step one, before you install your first Linux machine in production, require all your software to run on both systems. That also trains the users to use LibreOffice and Firefox and so on, even though they're still using Windows, and you can do one application at a time over however long it takes. No new software is permitted that won't run on Linux, even while you're still on Windows, and any existing software gets phased out.

Step two, you change out the underlying OS and people barely notice because all the applications are the same.

Yup, there's an entire field within metahistory concerning how entire peoples are essentially erased from historical records due to conquest and/or genocide. It's a formalization of the famous addage, "history books are written by the winners."

Hayden White's metahistorical perspectives on how "narratives" shape history were really eye opening for me.

Think, the number of words used for new project naming actually limited to "1000 words".

Really curios why nowadays devs can't find unique names for new things and try reuse widely used "1000 words".
Everyone in 1942 had a job.
I really like this, and I think the key is that you have to submit your own posts, so that there is engagement. I suggest having some kind of requirement that authors engage with comments. Otherwise it could turn into Twitter: someone posts material in an attempt to promote themselves (even if there's no attempt to sell anything) but they refuse to engage with most people. That's super boring, and there are other places to do that.
Yeah, I'm doing everything I can personally at the moment, this is more a discussion around how in N months I feel hands will be forced.

The current situation is some sort of distributed trade of mental health for physical health; the brains of the youth for the bodies of the old. It's not a stable state and will break at some point.

Regarding "russian roulette":

Everyone I know who feels at significant risk is doing the whole "don't leave the house" thing.

Care homes are almost certainly fucked regardless.

I tend to think the major impact is going to be amongst 50+ year olds who are in good health and decide that they can't be arsed with staying inside. We basically don't have a way to deal with this issue collectively.

Humans require salaries and Google is a giant machine for turning attention/intent into money. Adding humans into the loop just creates friction for the money printing part. And as you noted, they care when the person spending money is rich enough. It's everyone else that loses with their system.

I've been reading these stories for as long as I can remember knowing about HN. People don't seem to quite learn that Google is a machine for printing money and unless you're paying them they don't care.

My first real software job was at a 10 person firmware consulting shop. Some guy from Microsoft got burned out and joined us, and it was mind-blowing. The dude barely came into the office. Even when he was there, he was half-aslseep at his desk 75% of the time, and he still singlehandedly got more done in a week than everyone else in the company combined. Some of us had been theoretically doing the same work for 5-10 years, and our company was well-respected in its niche as an expert on what we did, and we still just couldn't compare at all.

10 years later, I was burned out from working at my crappy FAANG job building platforms to spy on people, so I went into consulting on my own. Sure enough, it was a really similar situation.. I don't want to break any NDAs or sound like a jerk, but I was rolling in and doing things in hours that teams of my clients' best engineers had been failing at for months at a time.

You could grab just about any mediocre nobody from a FAANG company and drop them into any tech company somewhere else that normally pays sub-six figures, and they'd be the top performer there. I think it's something that can be taught, and maybe we'll have a tech renaissance now where everyone goes back to their comfortable hometowns, but there's a very real skill differential between the big tech hub cities and the rest of the planet. (And yes, I'm including other countries where even super hard-working geniuses make $35k a year or less.. because a lot of those geniuses eventually tend to either make their way to the USA, or start their own successful companies. If I found out I could eventually make $3.5 million/year by learning Chinese and working my way over there, you'd better believe I'd get it done)
> I'll be in the pub by the end of the year.

You may be in a pub by the end of the year, but you won't be in a pub at the end of the year, because at that point we'll locked down in the midst of a second wave of coronavirus, with some pent up seasonal flu thrown in for good measure.
I think the point is that software development is generally a continuous process. I highly doubt they've completely stopped all active development on Fortnight.

The problem is that there's no single THC percentage metric. Do you measure the total theoretical decarb'd d9-THC content? Do you measure just the d9-THC and pay no mind to the THCA? It's hard to know what 1%-4% means.

What I am saying is that due to bureaucracy and loopholes, there is a lot of hemp being sold in the US right now that's high in THCA (1%-4% is a reasonable range, maybe even higher) but is technically underneath the 0.3% d9-THC threshold that the labs are testing for.

> Does this new language save you that much over using a more generic and widly known language in the org?

This is a great question to ask. It’s worth extending beyond language to frameworks and libraries as well.

It’s important to optimize for the development experience across all the apps in a team. Especially once the excitement of using a new language is gone and there are bugs to fix.

I‘ve rewritten a few projects in a common language for the org. Each time the biggest benefit was how straightforward it became to work on. Problems you’ve found somewhere else become easy to spot (and search for). Writing another test is the same as the last project you had open. Anyone in the org can contribute with a minimal learning curve. This can be the difference in getting bugs fixed in a day or a month.

So which language was it about?
"I don't think it works quite like that"

I'm sure it doesn't, but we agree that the recovery of the sequence implies a half life greater than 500 years, right? I was trying to get at how much greater, whether double or 100x or 1,000,000x, etc.

"From this point of view a half-life of 521 years is an astronomic number, and totally false"

Please set aside this point of view, because it wasn't mine. If they got 17x coverage, that's not literally from 17 totally intact cells, of course I know that. But I was interpreting the recoverable DNA in aggregate as being what the half-life refers to, as it were, proportional to 17 cells worth. If that's within a couple orders of magnitude, it's good enough for my point.

If you think the half life could be millions of years, because I don't understand gene sequencing, then it would be really cool if you could do your own estimate and show me why your number is different.
I really enjoy Elixir. I've used for a fun side project. It's an awesome language with some really interesting concepts.

However, I wouldn't use it for a real project:

1. The ecosystem doesn't compare to ruby/python/javascript. There's a lot of missing packages and abandoned libraries. I ended up having patch a bunch of libraries I used.

2. The tooling that exists is nice and 'just works' but there's a lot that's missing from ruby land: https://elixirforum.com/t/help-an-elixir-beginner-find-missi...

3. The deployment story is horrible. The heroku/dokku buildpacks didn't work by default and it's not obvious how you can easily deploy a mix/distillery release without writing your own deploy scripts. https://elixirforum.com/t/official-heroku-dokku-buildpack/28...

4. Phoenix != Rails. There's many many obvious things that are missing. `mail_to` for example.
Not every country, look at the UK. I guess you can define indigenous people in a way anywhere that makes what you said true, but it's been a long while in a lot of places.

While it is a compromise and probably some progress, I think you're right that it would disincentivize any pressure to radically transform education and more importantly high-education to better serve folks.
Yeah, I reckon that's fairly probable (the lockdown - not the second wave, I think that's inevitable, where the case numbers sit after that is yet to be seen though).

I figure we have N waves, with herd immunity building during the process, and an eventual vaccine which may or may not need to be applied across the whole population by that point.
Test-driven development is a weird thing to blame for low quality.
Did he staple the notarization though? They are 2 separate steps.
I think we should fight to preserve what cultures, people and languages we have left. The Ainu language is nearly extinct, and it represents an entirely separate language family from Japanese for example. Anthropology (especially linguistics too) is a jigsaw puzzle for which we're losing pieces every day. Plus it feels right to try to save them.
It would be quite easy to improve both the "accessibility" and the practical UX of capacitive touch screens by establishing a norm where every potentially-destructive action (anything that cannot be "undone" with ease) can be made to require a 'slide to confirm' gesture. This workflow is already used by community-made "recovery" environments for touch devices, but it would be nice if it was adopted more widely.
I have both of the issues you describe.

Unfortunately, while the kernel panics will most likely be fixed eventually (10.15.4 is a complete shitshow, even by Catalina standards), it seems the dGPU is actually working as designed with the high idle power draw. If you search for “navi multiple monitor power draw” you can find reports of desktop AMD cards that predate the 16” MacBook Pro that exhibit the exact same behaviour. It’s something to do with memory clocks and mismatched resolutions/refresh rates between monitors, and I very much doubt it will ever be addressed via software (if it even can be).

Very annoying as it causes the fans to spin up audibly when you put it under the slightest stress.

Like you I don’t know what to do. I’m able to return it due to the extended return window they have currently, but I have absolutely no intent of switching to Windows or Linux.
in our serverless application(s) we still use types, and yes, that requires runtime verification at more boundaries, and therefore technically more compute cycles. we share those types across all our Lambdas. Yes, technically each Lambda must be deployed separately; in our case any changes to message-passing types would require equivalent "overhead" as a no-downtime database migration - then again, the best practice here is the same as with databases - always try to make your types backwards-compatible, only adding new fields, etc.

there's certainly _a_ cost; I just haven't seen it be as high as people seem to imagine.
Aside from the specific optimizations listed in the article, and caring about improving round-trip times for remote API calls in general, the fact is that any app built properly with native MacOS/iOS APIs will be extremely fast.

Apple's APIs for macOS and iOS are simply better than those provided by either Microsoft (for Windows), Google (for Android), etc. Apple's APIs are, for the most part, very well-thought-out; their engineers have put together fantastic layers in the operating system and its UI components. The primary reason so many apps perform poorly on Apple platforms is because those apps were developed using 3rd party cross-platform tools (eg. Electron, or making an iOS app with webviews rather than native elements).

Developers who make efficient use of Apple's APIs, and who spend time to reduce their backend response time on remote API calls, will always produce an amazing product. The best example I can think of off the top of my head is the Apollo app for Reddit on iOS; it is coded with 100% native platform APIs, with no slow cross-platform garbage. It's such a breath of fresh air to witness.

Yep. I loved rooting droids and jailbreaking iPhones back then. It almost seems like it ain’t worth it these days. I can’t think of much I can get in JB that I can’t have anyway
Here is an anecdote.

I had to work on a tool that shows what's wrong with an assembly line: missing parts, delays, etc... So that management can take corrective action. Typical "BI" stuff but in a more industrial setting.

The company went all out on new technologies. Web front-end, responsive design, "big data", distributed computing, etc... My job was to use PySpark to extract indicators from a variety of data sources. Nothing complex, but the development environment was so terrible it turned the most simple task into a challenge.

One day, the project manager (sorry, "scrum master") came in, opened an excel sheet, imported the data sets, and in about 5 minutes, showed me what I had to do. It took me several days to implement...

So basically, my manager with Excel was hundreds of times more efficient than I was with all that shiny new technology.

That experience made me respect Excel and people who know how to use it a lot more, and modern stacks a lot less.

I am fully aware that Excel is not always the right tool for the job, and that modern stacks have a place. For example, Excel does not scale, but there are cases where you don't need scalability. An assembly line isn't going to start processing 100x more parts anytime soon, and one that does will be very different. There are physical limits.
It’s kind of absurd that anyone can “own” land to begin with. It doesn’t actually make sense from first principles. So everything in land ownership is just a set of historical practices adopted for practical reasons like incentivizing investment.
Have you tried again with Firefox recently? I'm the developer of an extension that makes extensive use of the Shadow DOM for UI components in content scripts. I recently ported our Chrome-only extension over to Firefox and had a few minor issues but none with the UI. I'm even using React for Shadow DOM UI components and it's been working well in both browsers.
>You maybe, but how many others will?

I'm willing to bet you in the next ~12-24 months virtually everyone. This isn't the first pandemic in human history. It's frankly ridiculous how people seem to have no awareness of how strongly we tend to overestimate events simply because we're living through them.
I wonder if I'm the only sysadmin in the world who doesn't hate MongoDB. Yes, I wouldn't use it for new projects, and yes, I wish RethinkDB had taken its place, but it's not as horrible as people seem to think. Default configuration... If it weren't for RDS' doing PG-bouncer-style connection management, 95% of production postgres instances would probably fail. It innodb_buffer_pool_size wasn't set properly, plenty of data-centers would light on fire. If no one setup a firewall or AOF for redis, it's data-loss and data-exposure waiting to happen. If no one adds auth to an HTTP route, it's open to the world, etc etc etc. If tech-stacks were legos, software engineers would earn a heck of a lot less.

I absolutely agree it's been used by people who just don't want to write SQL queries, or being used as a text-search-engine in place of something like more appropriate like ElasticSearch, but to mock successful projects who were based on it seems silly. It reminds me of interviewing candidates at a startup who primarily used PHP/MySQL. Most of them openly laughed and called it all horrible. I voted "no" on them, and sometimes injected a somewhat toxic "ah, you're right - we should close up shop. Someone call Facebook - tell them their tech stack is horrible - shut it all down!".

You can learn a lot about a developer by asking "What do you think about Mongo, JavaScript, or PHP", and if their response isn't a shrug, they're probably more concerned with what editor is correct than if the product they're building is useful. It's an exceptional filter to reject zealots and find pragmatists.

All that said, MariaDB with MyRocks is _awesome_, but certainly not with the default settings :)

> Granted, deletion requires access to the account in question, so maybe that's enough of a hurdle already? In that sense it's already harder to delete than create.

I tend to agree that that is enough of an additional hurdle, but note that it conflicts with

> I agree that it should be just as easy to suspend your account as it was to sign up, but irretrievable deletion should be harder.

It's definitely not appropriate for any unauthenticated person to be allowed to suspend an account. You need the same hurdle on suspension.

I think it would be reasonable to have a grace period between the deletion request and the actual deletion, during which the account was retrievable.
