Yes, I'm repeating what he already claims to know, because my point is he should already have known it. I am casting doubt on his sincerity, given this feature, his arguments on HN the other day, and what he's said now.

I'm not still angry about what the situation was - I believe the only reason this feature was rolled back is because there was a big backlash. I really believe his whole attitude towards other people's data means he isn't responsible enough to store it.

It's exactly irresponsible moves like this that led to the GDPR in the first place (something else contravened by this feature)
So what’s NPR, PBS, and VOA?

I'd say it was both. I wanted to move against LinkedIn profiles, I thought that opt-out was the way to get critical mass, and I screwed up and did not realize how large a privacy violation this was.
US is one of the most effectively censored country in the world, and it's funny that it's able to pretend to be a beacon of the free-speach. It's just the censorship is more subtle and soft-handed - and thus way more effective than crude and primitive censorship that minor governments can implement.

In Poland an anti-government song disappears from the playlist, and it's a huge scandal. In US a convicted pedophile with own pedo-island, and connections all over the elites, media and government disappears from the prison cell in a dubious suicide where all cameras stopped working and many other "coincidences" happened and not much happens about it.

In US the government is the puppet of the ruling class so there's really no need for it to do any fighting. It just does what it was told (paid) to do. And the media have almost full control over the public opinion, so there is no need for any silly black-listing censorship. All they have to do is to gently steer the attention of the public elsewhere.
I have a quadra that I haven't booted in several years, running A/UX. I also used to own some other old world ppcs. I remember a decade ago or more, ssh was very slow on them. Hope your client has figured out how to make that not suck.

I also think it'd be kinda cool to see an X window manager that takes some hints from classic Mac.
It would have gone over a lot better if he didn't spend a couple days on HN telling people they shouldn't be mad about it.

And it would have gone over a lot better if he was honest about what happened. He got caught with his hand in the cookie jar and he's all "was that wrong? Should I not have done that?". They knew exactly what they were doing and calculated that it was worth it.
He's not an interviewer. He just has conversations with people, sometimes friends, sometimes famous scientists, and sometimes people with interesting stories.

You're free to listen to the uninterrupted hours of talk directly from the guest and form your own opinion. That's usually a far better way to learn about someone than following an opinionated interviewer asking "hardball" questions that don't get clear answers anyway and will reduce the caliber of guests to appear in the first.
Would I be able to build something that leverages Bluetooth mesh functionality with RIOT and ESP32? Is this use-case supported well?
>I used to have a Dell laptop which had exactly the same problem with my first battery. Running laptop plugged into AC adapter 99% of the time was one reason for that happening, I imagine.

Except Dell laptops have a configuration in the BIOS to better handle to be always plugged. I changed this BIOS option, and it basically never uses or charges the battery unless AC is off.

So, the fix is even more ridiculously simpler than you thought.
This is how people grow. By fucking up, taking some heat, doing a little introspection, and correcting their mistakes.

It's interesting, never used it although it looks like it would require more time than it could actually save. The very best products I've encountered are the exact opposite, so easy to use that they feel like they're essentially useless.

Organising life is an abstract monster that no one has ever gotten even close solving it. The question of how do make the most out of our time in our short and unpredictable lifetimes has become somewhat intriguing and boggling to me.

Over the years I've been playing around with a architecture of a tool that would take a crack at this ambiguous challenge.

I think most people need a lot of structure in their jobs. Building a company beyond individuals is largely formalizing a way of doing things. But, the process should take the guess work out of everything routine, and provide principles and freedom to do the tasks they are competent at.

With that said, the requirements for an early startup are completely different. It can just be a collection of great people making independent decisions.
At this point in time it doesn't matter if there is an apology or not. Like above mentioned, some would have got laid-off or for some their intentions of job search is revealed. This is much worst of an effect that an apology would do any good. He apologized so what. It is good but damage is done. Can anything be about it ?

"Damned consumers, paying for their goods and services... Idiots!"
It was wrong not to make it opt in but not deserving of the level of hate they’re getting for the decision. The big tech companies do things every day that are much more damaging to your privacy and they don’t send you an email telling you. LinkedIn’s spam marketing in the early days was downright scandalous.

I’ve always found Triplebyte open and insightful and their response shows they’re receptive to feedback, which is a rare thing these days. People should be respecting that instead of crucifying one of the only companies that actually listens to them. No company is perfect all the time.

I bet _most_ of their users aren't reading HN regularly and probably just skimmed past the email (I did). HN provided a nice little teapot for this tempest to play out in, from a larger strategic picture. As mad as it probably made them when that first user put the comment up the other day, that may have just saved their business from complete annihilation. If I were Ammon, I would find that person and send them some kind of nice gift.

That's hard to say, because I am not sure what I really want.

…but let's say I have this result (from an arbitrary query).

| user.id | user.name | post.id | post.title |
+---------+-----------+---------+------------+
| 1 | renke1 | 1 | first |
| 2 | alde | 2 | second |
| 2 | alde | 3 | third |

Now I would like to tell the library: hey, an user can have many posts (1:n), please map this to nested objects.

Of course I don't want to write `SELECT user.id, user.name … FROM …` but just `SELECT * FROM …` (because a table may have a dozen of columns and I don't want to spell out every single one). So the query might have to be rewritten on-the-fly to make the correct projection (otherwise it would be hard to know to which object a value belongs).

I am not sure if that's something your library should do though.

And thinking even more about it, I think this approach wouldn't really work for views (and probably other things) where it's not really clear from which tables the data actually comes from (at least not by only looking at the query).

I guess what I really want is library that takes my SQL query, reads my mind and gives me back some nested objects… and let's not talk about inserts…

Sure, if you donate to your church so that it could put in cushier pillows on the benches or host a seminar about the bible, instead of donating to some effective cause that say saves lives, it's selfish to a significant degree.

My main point though is that pro-natalists should really stop pressing the "it's selfless"/"not having children is selfish" angle, because in the 1st world it's the opposite, and if selflessness played any part in the decision adopting would be a logical step.

In your analogy, if you donate a bunch to a church led by a pastor whose brother is your boss at work, as opposed to some other church, the donation is "less selfish" than not donating, but it makes your entire motivation credibly suspect.
A lot of my feedback is less about what the article is hoping to investigate, and more about the proliferation of these types of patterns in codebases.

We can still contain the logic on how to handle that request in a single function:

fetch(url).then(updateState(whateverYouNeedToDo(response))

I don’t think explicit state machine orchestration helps app architecture when we have been succinctly achieving the same thing with way less needlessness.

So I guess a lot of my frustration is that this stuff is literally in someone’s bootstrapped todo app right now, or crud app. The normalization of articles like this in effect normalized code like this everywhere. I’d like to at least just yell back a little to reverse some of these trends that got adopted with little thought about trade offs.

In other words, don’t even think about reaching for the explicit state machine scaffolding if all you really want to do is use immutable data and a fetch request. Ironically, the thing that needs to be explicitly declared is this warning.
Same here. Are there any classic Mac CSS themes available?
Yes, we can. For instance one of the things that are also in effect in Poland and which I wholeheartedly agree with is that denying holocaust is an active crime. As someone who has lost family in the concentration camps - good, the crime was too great to be denying it.
You are deeply deluded.

The control isn't exerted in the same way, but it is certainly there.

Lesser Known Facts About Learning and How to Get Better at Studying
It’s impressive how well the corporatist media has twisted popular opinion, making criticism of the Chinese Communist Party a matter of “woke” politics. These are the same liars who sold us the Iraq war and told us to buy property on interest-only loans in 2007. But now we celebrate perjurers like James Clapper and brand people who rightfully criticize a totalitarian regime as racists.
This is one of my favorite papers. The core point that I think should get a lot more attention is this one:

> When manual take-over is needed there is likely to be something wrong with the process, so that unusual actions will be needed to control it, and one can argue that the operator needs to be more rather than less skilled, and less rather than more loaded, than average.

The "remaining" operational work once automation has done it's job is more complex and weirder and requires more knowledge and skill than the basic task. On top of that, computes can (and do!) get systems into states that humans wouldn't, so those skills may exceed the skills needed by manual operators. This is something that people who work on things like driver aids talk about a lot, but I don't see as much attention to in the systems observability field.

> One can therefore only expect the operator to monitor the computer's decisions at some meta-level, to decide whether the computer's decisions are 'acceptable', If the computer is being used to make the decisions because human judgement and intuitive reasoning are not adequate in this context, then which of the decisions is to be accepted ? The human monitor has been given an impossible task.

This is particularly visible with things like data integrity in a complex database schema. Above a trivial scale, things both change too fast for a human to monitor, and change in ways that don't make sense to humans. When a human sees an anomaly, who's to know if it's expected?

Still a great, thought-provoking, read after 37 years.

>And both beer and coffee, in moderation, have a lot of studies so far showing a correlation with longer lifespans.

Wealthy people can afford to drink beer and coffee regularly, and have the intelligence to keep their habits within moderation.

I wouldn't be so quick to assume that regular beer/coffee habits actually lead to longer lives lived.
I think we're going to have to agree to disagree on this one then, as I firmly believe they are deserving of the negativity.

The CEO's whole attitude towards privacy shows how they treat privacy, and no, I'm not going to "respect" that.
FWIW, I had an absolutely terrible time setting up sonic on an edgecore switch which was "supported".

Everything was a battle. The configuration is very finicky and not well documented, and every time I went to edgecore or sonic for support, they would blame the other party.

We did eventually get everything working, but it took hours of tinkering on the configuration. There's all sorts of undocumented magic about how ports, interfaces, lanes, etc all have to line up with each other. If it doesn't like how you've configured BGP, it will silently fail and refuse to link. And God help you if you have breakout cables. And for some reason, all the services are run in docker containers, which makes it even more painful to debug. Reapplying configurations is slow and buggy in itself, so you have to reboot the switch constantly.

Ultimately I find sonic hard to recommend. Yes it's free, but I'm really not sure that's a benefit. Any home enthusiast will buy a consumer grade switch with an OS preinstalled, or use OpenWRT. Any business using this for production would be wise to go with a stable product with good support, like Cumulus. As much as I hate how Cisco does business, at least their products will mostly work how you need out of the box.

I think there are a few strata of types of content that make up YouTubes base. The most viewed layer which seems to be what you're talking about seems to consist of short, outrageous or viral clips that people share all over social media. Then there is a layer of more organic content that makes up the other big chunk of time people spend on the platform. The channels are smaller but the engagement is orders of magnitude higher. It's similar to reddit and a lot of other platforms that have a clickbait viral layer that they're monetizing through ads and placement and then the actually valuable content that is hard to monetize but makes up the core engagement of the site. It's a good example of how monetization is deeply broken since it prioritizes the garbage over the quality material.
It's not correct to say that Chinese people didn't want things from the west, or that imperial trade policy -- restricting all trade to Canton and so forth -- was representative of a lack of interest in goods that westerners had to trade.

I tried two strategies:

1. Kill the ones that seem to move the fastest, hoping it would lead to very peaceful enemies over time.

2. Kill them from left to right each round, hoping they would all start gathering at the right hand side of the screen.

Neither seemed to do anything special, they seem to just be moving randomly and I get to level 60 or so before I get too bored.

I don't understand what it's supposed to do. Am I doing it wrong? :D

systemd-boot is a good solution to this problem. It's less of a horrible complicated mess than GRUB. You can add menu entries for multiple operating systems, an EFI shell, and the BIOS menu, just like with GRUB. It has a much nicer configuration story and integrates with the other systemd components (so, for example, you can reboot into a different boot menu option through a systemctl reboot flag just like the equivalent feature in Windows).

systemd-boot only supports UEFI systems, so GRUB would still have to be an option for legacy systems.

EDIT: ignore this comment, the reasoning is wrong, see below.

> San Francisco officially reported 8,640 homeless residents in 2002—a peak—and almost as many in 2019 ... San Francisco spends more per capita on homelessness solutions than nearly any other U.S. city—three hundred and thirty million dollars a year.

330000000 / 8640 = 38194

> the median monthly rent for a one-bedroom in the city is now, by one estimate, about thirty-five hundred dollars

3500 * 12 = 42000

These numbers are surprisingly close. Moreover, 1) you need one apartment per family not per person 2) you can pay below median if you buy in bulk and aren't very picky 3) many homeless have jobs.
