Virtually all my teaching is online, in a dedicated tool. Of course I used slides and approach to teaching that i inherited from previous teachers of the course - which includes heavy use of polling using the builtin easy polling feature of our online class tool (collaborate ultra).

Once i taught a guest lecture in zoom. I ended up using directpoll.com to approach the polling features I'd normally use. Lots of yes/no questions, easily asked and answered (always same url, can watch answers coming in), some exercises.

Extremely positive response. Simple, oft-used interaction truly is a game changer - even if limited to yes/no.

I was agreeing with you.

More of a rant about the person who complains about not being able to maintain state at a tier that you never maintain state at in even a traditional architecture.
Thanks for recognizing it. I think it'd be encouraging to see a post mortem detailing the positive changes that came out of this whole ordeal, the sort of user hostile behaviors that you (as a company) recognized from this self reflection, their origins and corrections.
What is the value for a small business in Kubernetes?
You are right. But the original claim was "heavily reliant on closed source firmware blobs", which is not really true.
Fair enough, thanks for clarifying.

Now, when you say that you read their comment that way... did you truly read it that way? Do you actually believe that brown9-2's position is that everything that is said in marketing messages is true?

I miss the constrained design of Mac OS Classic. You could use multiple windows even on those puny Mac SE -type 512x384 displays and with some 1024x768 display you could have lots of different things happening for file operations, apps etc. It's weird that X's current windowing system is really bad at this even on 4k displays.

Oh and the spatial file navigation with Finder worked perfectly. Haven't seen anything so awesome ever since Classic got obsolete.
Virgin Orbit on Twitter: “Here's a quick shot from takeoff.”
Yeah, people who become homeless aren't a homogeneous group. I was homeless for about ~4.5 years back in the late 90's.

In my experience from that time, mostly spent around Seattle, that roughly 2/3's of the people you see on the streets have some kind of physical, mental or emotional problems that prevent them from navigating modern civilization.

(As an aside I don't think most folks in it have a good idea just how challenging modern society can be. The street is sort of like a time machine in that living there is like going back in time two or three centuries. There are a lot of inconveniences but life is fundamentally simpler if all you have to worry about each day is that day's food and a place to crash that night. That's why I support a safety net. Not welfare in the sense of ongoing payments forever but a way to catch and support people when they stumble, to help them back to a normal life. Related to that, there's a guy who has sat in front of University district Safeway for twenty years selling "Street Sheet". To me selling Streetsheet isn't meant to be a lifetime job. If dude had put a dollar a day in a saving account with compound interest he would be ready to retire soon. That's the kind of thing I mean about helping people use civilization's API.)

Of the remaining 1/3 or so you have a mix of e.g. punk rock anti-society types, hippies, nomads, runaway kids(!), and drifters. In other words, folks who either want to be there or have no better option.

There are very few people who have their act together and live on the street because it's actually pretty easy to get off the street if you have a good attitude and are willing to work.

The answer to the OP's question is simply that people who can move to another city and get a job do that and so aren't homeless anymore.
Yeah, we don’t even do any kind of code deploy on Friday after 10am. Not even bug fixes unless they are for site reliability.
We? What "we?"

I think it's much better to lay the blame at the feet of the companies who made these decisions, rather than generically blaming everybody.

Quick correction:

> spend a couple days on HN telling people they shouldn't be mad about it.

It was actually a only a couple of hours and a few (very inflammatory and highly downvoted) comments, near the beginning of the thread, and then radio silence as the fire raged on.

I think that he took a step back and began reconsidering after realizing that his comments weren’t helping any, but because they were the only thing he said in that thread and a lot of discussion was focused on them it seemed like a lot more activity than it really was. (Not that this excuses anything, but I think it’s important to be clear about what happened.)

It's just simply not true that China covered up the existence of the virus for months.

On December 16, 2019, the first patient was admitted to a hospital. This is more or less China's first reasonable opportunity to understand that there was a new disease.

On December 31, 2019, there was an article about it in the South China Morning Post: https://www.scmp.com/news/china/politics/article/3044050/mys...

And on DW:
https://www.dw.com/en/china-investigates-sars-like-virus-as-...

And in Reuters:
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-health-pneumonia-id...

So 2 weeks from discovery to worldwide news.
It’s not like anyone has a choice in the matter. There’s a huge profit incentive to create the first ubiquitous no-code framework. Like some commenters above though, I think that no-code will only increase the aggregate demand for software, much of which will need software engineers.

This is not wrong but it is only true because the US outsources energy hungry productions to China.

It's true that the US effectively imports energy via foreign goods, but I don't think that effect accounts for all the decline in US energy consumption per capita.

Carbon dioxide emissions are an imperfect but (IMO) good-enough proxy for energy, since the world's energy supply is still dominated by fossil fuels. If the US counted imported goods toward its CO2 emissions, as of 2016 they would be 7.7% higher:

https://ourworldindata.org/consumption-based-co2

Primary energy consumption per capita peaked in the US in 1978:

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/energy-use-per-capita?tab...

It was down to 79,056 kWh/capita as of 2015, compared to 98,139 kWh/capita in 1978. If you adjust the 2015 number up by 7.7% it's 85,143 kWh/capita -- not down as much, but still down. That's lower than the average for the 1970s, 1980s, or 1990s. (And China didn't really become an export powerhouse until after it joined the WTO in 2001.)

The fact you’d advocate putting someone on tv to tell the world that 5g towers cause covid—19 and give them the same courtesy as a scientist explaining factual information about the world around us tells me you’re either delusional or upset that the media “gatekeeps” fascists and racists.

Nice job, thanks for bringing it to the world! Was looking for something exactly like that a few weeks back.
What I've come to observe is that you can never make everyone happy - a truism detached from this specific incident.

So when you receive negative feedback on something - how should you respond?

What if you're used to some certain baseline level of negativity? How should you respond then?

I feel like there is feedback on the individual level and the aggregate level. Clearly in this case TripleByte saw that they would have alienated a large and important community but I'm convinced you can blame a CEO for being diplomatic but thick skinned.

Line 6 Variax: Still thinking about buying one?
My comment already answered this, that's why I said "partly" and "just".
Good point - I think tools/technology can definitely help a lot like you pointed out. In some ways, the tools can act as an extension of the culture, promoting the processes and values you want your team to have. To me, this implies picking the right tools, and establishing the right expectations about how to use them, is something every team has to do with company culture in mind as opposed to being a purely technical decision.

As these tools for communication, creation and management become the substrate of the team (the new "office" in some ways), it'll be interesting to see how the tool designers change. Shouldn't product managers for tools like Slack work with organizational researchers, sociologists, and psychologists to determine the impact of features on organizational behaviour (if they don't already).

A better title for this link is "Skid Row, Los Angeles" per the page title.

In the Pacific Northwest there's a longstanding debate about the origin of the term -- afaik both Seattle and Victoria claim primacy of the term, which is originally related to logging. As I understand it, these neighborhoods were first named Skid Row because of the logging, and due to economic realities, the name became associated with poverty and then spread to other towns without significant logging industries.

Notes on Epic Games
Not sure what has changed security wise.
Any one could also stand a DNS resolver. Many people use hosts file or used a local resolver for dev domains for example, security minded folks setup up resolvers on openWRT stack router for example or a use a piHole.

Blocking popular DNS providers is a common tactic deployed by ISPs. It is technically easy enough to bypass depending on your skill level and interest in doing so. Their strategy is make it difficult for majority of their users, who won't know or care, users doing all this will not make substantial impact on revenue generated from selling this data, or from showing adds etc so they don't make the effort.

DoT/DoH is not going to change this, Firefox's market share is not enough for that. I don't see Chrome or Safari implementing this functionality at all.

> Let’s be honest. This was out of desperation. Without this pivot Triplebyte was dead. And now it probably is anyway.

IMHO, that's the saddest thing about this. Triplebyte has a niche where they can provide value to companies and job seekers. But producing an objective analysis of someone's coding skills is expensive and doesn't scale well. They could make millions every year but it's not and never would be a billion dollar company. And it's too bad that millions is not good enough.
Exactly, and it was also suggested that for years the show producer would take bribes from artists for placing them at the top of the list.

The song in question here actually ended up in the fourth place, was placed on 1st deliberately - it was kind of a political statement by the show producer.
A lot of low income people in NYC are immigrants; for many groups of immigrants, NYC is one of if not the largest concentration of their ethnic group in the country. Being around people from your homeland gives you familiarity and comfort, access to cultural items that may not be readily available elsewhere, and a social support network. One example of this is that New York's Chinatown has developed a completely independent farm network to grow Asian vegetables that are not available normally: https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.7591/j.ctt20d89sd

An immigrant leaving New York for a cheaper COL metro is leaving all this behind for the great unknown.

One other important factor is that in New York City it is very easy to live without a car. For poor people, a car is easily an expense just as large as housing. New York City has housing cost of $1.6K a month but transportation cost of $6k a year [0]; St Louis has housing cost of $960 a month but transportation cost of $11k a year.[1]

Systems thinking as a general concept might be what you're looking for, pair it up with mental models.

Of course I'm sympathetic to the plight of the homeless, and I think it's outrageous that SF isn't building more housing as as fast as possible to try to bring the prices down.

However, there's a dilemma where cities that have the best services (and climate) for people who are happy camping anywhere will attract folks who come there just to be homeless, like the subject of this story.

> He made money by hunting exotic minerals and rocks.

Did he? Or was he stealing exotic minerals and rocks from the National Parks in 48 states he camped at? (See https://www.nps.gov/subjects/geology/permits.htm#CP_JUMP_547... ) Shame on the New Yorker fact-checkers for not confirming where he got those minerals.

To say that Gmail had much to do with Google’s growth considering that there was only a relatively small Window that email was the most popular form of personal (not corporate communication and spam) and that was over ten years ago before mobile started taking over doesn’t really have any basis in today’s reality.
The vast majority of homeless in NYC and SF are homeless for economic reasons, like insufficient income, lack of affordable housing or the loss of income.

GDPR devalued PII-stores, and companies tried really hard to only let the value drop on the European portion of their data. Requiring ID is a way to discourage and even deny deletion requests in other countries.

These constraints are walked back almost immediately in practice, once companies learn that requiring a human touch for a deletion flow is not worth the hassle.

I think "legal" here meant what's the bare minimum to respect the letter of GDPR law, while not actually implementing a useful delete flow.
* Good sturdy chair. A crappy chair will make you want to leave in the middle of something interesting. A large lounger is my chair of choice as I can set peripherals/laptop beside me without putting them on wet grass.

* Shaded spot under a tree.

* Extra router or Wi-Fi extender so you aren’t limited to right beside your house/cottage. Hotspot might work as well depending on where you are.

* Plastic bag to toss your computer in if it suddenly starts raining.

* Umbrella or towel covering. I like to build myself a cave of sorts to keep the light away from the screen. If you really want to invest, get an umbrella with a steel base and steel rods.

* Your phone so you can still do your meetings even if the extender is spotty.

When I get a chance to do this I am doing it lakeside in Northern Ontario at my grandparents place, so your mileage may vary.
There was a little bit more to it. April 10th is an anniversary of Polish presidential plane crash that occurred 10 years ago in which many polish statespeople have perished (including Jarosław's twin brother). Since that crash Jarosław and his party have used this tragedy for their political gains (mainly by creating conspiracy theories around the crash and promising to solve them).

Jarosław's visit to the cemetery (together with members of the government) was another publicity stunt. If they just wanted to pay the respects to the deceased probably no one would care and they could easily get away with minor restriction violation. Instead they made it an official visit and broadcasted it in government-controlled TV.

I love org mode and use it every day. It's killer misfeature for me is I can't collaborate on wikis or Google docs with org mode.

In spite of that I still use it because I've never seen anything like it in terms of functionality.

Let those who don't understand the risk learn the hard way. Free will is not only about doing right, it's also about making mistakes. Now it's obvious that the trend is biasing towards enforcement of the right-doing regardless of consequences and impact on individual freedoms. Almost all writing of Stanislav Lem, for example, is dedicated to this one theme. And extrapolations he made are only becoming more and more relevant as the time goes.

Having said that, the freedom to fail should only apply to individuals. Corporate or government entities should never be treated as humans and be allowed to fail the hard way. First, because the magnitude of consequences are incomparable, and second, because the strings of corporate responsibilities are entangled in such a way so as to lead nowhere. They can always lose a head and grow another one.

As to crossing of one's individual freedom into another's, that's what the service men are for. But it was alright while they operated under presumption of innocence. Now they are clearly trying to render people guilty until proven otherwise. That was one of the points in my first reply.
Somehow I am able to admonish both simultaneously.

Don't miss out on the brilliant link at the bottom - Adam Dunkels' Protothreads - Lightweight, Stackless Threads in C also uses nested switch/case statements [1].

I learned about the theory with it, and used his library to implement cooperative multitasking on a bare metal embedded AVR C project. I wrote a task manager and dispatcher based on Protothreads, and that effort was what later made it simple for me to understand the JS async/await paradigm that would appear under my radar a couple years later.

EDIT to add that I think the concepts might still apply, since these days I've seen things like stackless async coroutines discussed for Rust... didn't study those in detail yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if the basic concepts are the same.

Sorry, yeah, I thought we were talking about the coronavirus. I agree it's bizarre that SF is so unwilling to address its general homeless crisis except by nonstrategically throwing money at it.
> So how were these found?

Example usage for some of them could be discovered by going through the contents of .BAT files written by Microsoft, especially those that were a part of MS-DOS (and later Windows 9x) Setup (installer).

All the built-in commands appeared in plain text in COMMAND.COM, as did all the CONFIG.SYS parameters in IO.SYS. As far as I know there wasn't a UN*X-like strings(1) utility at the time but binary files could still be browsed with third-party tools.
