Not very easy, but this is what bots are for
Well not much has changed since it was called FaceMash and he conned the ownership from Eduardo Saverin using tactics from his buddy Peter Thiel.
No problems with European openings.
> I also tried self-hosted solutions based on k3s but it too heavy for 1GB server (yep, it is, don’t believe in marketing).

ow.
Sorry, I might have misunderstood, but did you just equate choosing to work at Facebook with being black?
PHP is fast.
But the stack isn't: fast-cgi, no db pool connection, ... It's really good for a shared virtual hosting.

If you change the stack with event driven, a pool and persistent application, you get that fast results.
QNX (with no memory protection?)

Its probably a misunderstanding, but QNX has a very strong memory protection model that extends to its driver stack. Given that its a true realtime/microkernel, which has its own set of problems, but memory protection isn't one of them. For a number of cases QNX is going to be a large step up from linux.

how is this possible with Li having a higher electronegativity than Na?
I love this series of posts. I've always wondered why guitars have irregular tuning and this explanation makes sense.
> So just kill people to save a handful of officers having to spend 15 minutes sorting a situation out?

That's a false dichotomy. What if it had been only two officers? That would be the situation if there happened to be a patrol around.

How do you know how the crazy guy would've reacted when facing a gun? Perhaps he would have surrendered.

What about the officer's safety? Having a gun doesn't mean you have to shoot it, it means you have better means to defend yourself and others.

The fact that almost all other police forces in Europe have guns but then tend to not fire them at people tells me that guns are not the problem.

Either way, I'm not willing to put the lives of police officers on the line just to save a couple of machete-wielding crazy people from a "suicide by cop" situation.

> How do you think it works in practice in the UK at the moment? If someone attacks you with a kitchen knife you can defend yourself and arrest them using a baton or a Tazer - you don't need a gun that's an insane murderous overreaction.

No it isn't. If you are getting attacked with a knife, you and or other person, officer or not, are morally and legally entitled to defend yourself and others with lethal force.

For your own safety, don't bring a baton to a knife fight. You can not intervene at a distance and you're risking your life.

As for Tazers, they don't have the same psychological impact as a gun and they have limited range. You're welcome to use them, but I wouldn't put my or any officer's body on the line just to prevent the attacker from harm.
Back when I was flying at least 3x per month, my iPad was perfect for staying on top of emails and Slack messages while in the air. Cramped seats and poor wifi are not conducive to laptops, even my 13" MBP. It also helped me focus bc it prevented me from falling into the trap of having a dozen tabs open. I have not found much use for it since COVID.
Radley Balko[1] has been reporting on that kind of thing for years. It's quite disheartening.

Cool. I was forced to "home brew" a full wave bridge rectifier for my ancient 1966 vintage Lincoln IdealArc 250 welder last week (the original Motorola array had shorted latched and Lincoln no longer makes the part). Used two cathode to stud and two anode to stud diodes, 600 volt, 300 amp power diodes and a massive heat sink. Will post the build on HN soon.

These compilers work like a library with virtual DOM, but compile it away before deploying.

So, in theory, you get VDOM goodness, without the bloat.
Error analysis is important stuff and there's no easily accessible description of it, mostly because it's not a small stuff as opposed to some algorithm.
I did not say Facebook is obliged to leave a post. Yes, they are a private platform and can decide whether to remove or leave a post. And people complain that the post was left being public. I don't understand what you're arguing here..?
9 months in and $40k ARR: Optimizations as a company of one
If you accept the premise that these companies do evil, then its entirely appropriate to criticise those who enable that.

Take the big bucks, take the criticism.

Edit: your racial jibe has no place in intelligent discussion.
>But at the end of the day, your stance is already siding with someone by default, the side in power

This is highly presumptuous mischaracterization of my statement and intentions. We're discussing something online, unless you have a crystal ball I'd say you've made a bit of a leap here.
My guess is the only things that changed were that;

1. Tim Bray is happier he doesn't have to call Amazon out on it's bullshit.
2. Amazon is happier there's one less person to call them out on their bullshit.
If news articles are to be believed, UK is a horrifying place to live too. It has it all: barely accountable politicians, unsolved racial tensions, massive police overreach, acute gang problem (and while there is almost no gun violence, acid throwing somehow feels even worse).

I'm sure that it doesn't seem to be that way from insiders perspective - it's very much possible to live safely and not to suffer from above mentioned problems on a daily basis, but same is true for those living in US.

Personally I wouldn't relocate willingly to either of the countries.
Workerman is made with pure PHP on top of the libevent, without using a web server.
It's like nodejs but in PHP.
They did that to themselves by creating monopolies, and leveraging their power over basic services to make money and fleece customers. Regulation exists for a reason
My my company might support dictatorships that murder millions, but at least it has more rainbow flags than yours.
In September 1961, I learned programming from Forman Acton at Princeton. Programmed IBM 601 in Bell I, IBM 1620 and IBM 709 in Fortran II, Algol, COBOL, assembly. First job was July 1962 at Bolt, Beranek, and Newman programming DEC PDP-1 in assembly. Never stopped working as a programmer. Currently programming Linux computers mostly in Python. I am machine learning architect for Sigma Labs, Inc. I am 80. I played NIM in 1947 on the front panel of a ballistics computer at Maxon Corporation.
Maybe the real issue is, the President shouldn't be tweeting official pronouncements. Maybe use some responsible apparatus for disseminating considered decisions?

Fact is, I give no credence to tweeted nonsense anyway. Might as well say "Who should be allowed to censor pictures the President takes at the midway during the Cedar Country Fair?!"

Lets not pretend there's some God-given right to spout hate over a public recreational text channel. That's its some fundamental democratic right, or that the President ought to be participating, at all.
Definitely. I had an hacker's mind from age 0. Mind you, I felt in love with hackers of my time when I was 12 years old. But unfortunately, I had to learn by myself. I didn't have a mentor around me (and my parents could not keep up) for a number of years. Eventually, I ended in the demo scene and there I found a bit of help. It took me so much time. And when I compare to other hackers who had friends in the business, they just learned faster than me :-(

So, even though it sounds obvious : the number one priority is meeting other people, sharing information. Social skills are sooo important if you're not an absolute genius...
Would it actually be helpful? Or are you just baiting to get OP fired?
this is all a big distraction to the fact that facebook is already playing the “arbiter of truth” - algorithms aren’t magic, they’re just automated biases.

If Zuckerberg truly wanted to be neutral they’d show unweighted posts... he doesn’t actually want that though, he’s just protecting profits (which is his primary responsibility as ceo anyway).
Facebook is not required to preserve free speech on their platform, I don't think there are many people who would argue that they are required to do so. That doesn't mean they shouldn't given how widespread Facebook is.
I just threw an off the wall mention that I was out protesting and getting tear gas shot at me this weekend and you're commenting that my anger toward FB is misplaced?

Huh, wonder why I'm worked up.
You act like stereotypes are completely inaccurate.

Do Apple users generally care about open source? Do they care about quality hardware? Are Apple users Nerds?

Sure you can find an exception, but when you compare to the majority of users, you can find similarities.
Uh, no ones post got deleted, twitter just took the microphone away (limited sharing & comments, but anyone can go read the post).

Otherwise, thoughts don’t occur in a vacuum, they’re informed by the information that people receive. If you’re trying to be an information platform and a thought sharing platform, then there’s a huge vector for misinformation. I can understand a difference of opinion and nuance but acting like there’s no problem here is just head in the sand at this point.
I'm really reaching to understand how you could interpret my comment that way. I'm equating judging large swaths of people in the way the parent does as equivalent to society assuming black people "deserve" what they get.
This is the kind of discussion I love to see! I do wish the top comment showed that it was edited to make it more clear.
"Using JSDOM or similar we can run Solid on the server"

Doesn't sound very promising tbh.
I’m impressed to see this from Linus. We’ve had terminals wider than 80 chars for awhile - a limit I think needs to be revisited.
In situations where I'd be comfortable using a Bluetooth mouse, I'd probably have my much more powerful amd64 laptop with me. But well, I don't even need a mouse to comfortably use that one :P
Earliest convenience? It hasn't even started yet and they appointed 40 people to it. It was designed as an exercise to try and prove that people can't agree on what's unacceptable.
they already censor what you say by using an algorithm to weight posts
Who knew the day would come when I’d agree with and defend Zuckerberg. It’s not Facebook’s job to tell me what I can or can’t think. I can evaluate the claims of Trump or any other politician myself, thank you very much.
You can fix two of those with some solid effort in a high-profile FOSS project for a few months.

As for the first, you don't want to be in an environment that values credentials so strictly, imho - it poisons the air. There is always a chance they would then say "we only hire CS from Stanford/MIT" - sometimes stuff like this is just a polite way of saying "we don't think you can cut it".

> I imagine I'll learn everything about security and algorithms

Algos yeah, plenty - and I agree it's where universities really make a difference (I'm weak there too, and part of the reason for dropping out, and more recently changing career, was that I'm not really interested in that part of the job).

Security... eh. It really depends on the program.
... Zuckerberg's instincts are 100% correct. I don't understand why people (usually democrats and the left now, but it could be right-wing evangelicals in the future) are pushing for social media companies to wade into the quagmire of politics. Twitter's 'fact check' of Trump's tweet is a perfect example of what happens if you try. Their fact check was wrong because it missed nuance and context of issues with mail-in ballots (as in, there is potential for fraud with related actions like 'vote harvesting'), and it pissed off people (not just Trump supporters) because it was ad hoc and arbitrary because you can easily find Democratic politicians making erroneous statements. Almost everything a politician will say is wrong in some way and from a certain perspective and having minimum wage Twitter reviewers be the arbiters of how political speech should be interpreted and in which way is a recipe for disaster.

The "Citizen's United" ruling came around when the FCC tried to enforce rules against political speech arbitrarily when they decided a right-wing documentary critical of Hillary was deemed to break election laws, but Micheal Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 (which was also purposely designed to influence election) was not. And you know what, that is unfair. There is no universe in which it is fair that Moore's documentary gets to be exempted but a right-wing group's documentary doesn't. And because of the arbitrary politically-motived actions of the FCC, we ended up with completely unchecked election spending.

Get tech companies out of politics. If not, it will blow up in your face.
I would think there would be use cases where weight isn't necessarily a consideration- like grid storage for solar energy
Political beliefs are not a protected class in the US.
After missing some errors in long lines during code review, i feel like <60 should be the target. side by side diffs are most common view for me in 'github flow'
I've never liked the "idiot's guide" or "for dummies" thing, either.

But, FWIW, keep in mind that this is a slide deck taken out of context. In context, it was probably being presented to an audience where a certain level of background knowledge could be more safely assumed. And, in context, it was probably being presented by a real live human. That means that there was a whole lot of more detailed explanation that is not available if you're just reading the deck. And also a human face to make any tongue-in-cheek bits (I'm guessing the title was meant to be at least a little bit irreverent) more apparent.
I don't think your analogy really fits the place Facebook takes in the world, sadly I must add.

In some places Facebook is an official channel of communication between people and governments and other public institutions like Universities. Their use of Facebook, or other social media platforms, in this way makes it more like a utility than a private platform.

If you really must, you could make the analogy of a billboard. Lets say Hustler puts up a billboard in the city with some of their famous content, I bet it will have to be taken down pretty quickly, regardless of the content policy the billboard company has.
Far from it. The internet should be the inclusive society that we seem to be unable to attain in the real world.
I think this idea is what the OSINT community does. Step 1: scrape websites, step 2: put it in a database.

Well, I guess you actually found databases instead of scraping sites. The OSINT community does that too.
Use more Na?
It's generally frowned upon to stereotype when hiring.
So that scene in The Abyss was not so far-fetched after all.
I want to point out there's a big difference between judging people without nuance and what the parent post says. To me it seems you read a lot in between the lines on the post above which I didn't get nearly the same reading on. I took it simply as "I see Facebook on a resume, it's not a full positive for me like many may see it in the tech world" and would be a possible ethical red flag.

I feel the same at a personal level and Facebook is far from the only company on my mental list there, but with any of these it is not a categorical judgement or an immediate eliminator of someone in any situation.
> As soon as you have long running (long is a relative thing) it is extremely difficult to guarantee any behavior of the system.

I understand your sentiment but simply pushing the work into a task doesn't make guaranteeing the behavior of the system any easier. And I argue that in some cases, it makes it more difficult, if you can eliminate an entire task by putting its processing in an ISR then that reduces the complexity. Handling priority inversion correctly is the example that springs to mind.
That is a very obnoxious way of saying you disagree. Please don’t do that in a discussion forum like this.
I don’t know if it would be that effective- it’s clear this persons post is currently in the positive. It’s highly likely there are other people in positions where they can hire others who have contributed to keeping the position in the positive score range (or at least not so negative that you have to highlight it to see it). By making it more broad we can assume that a silent chunk of people upvoting it agree for their own companies and positions of power too, and those we can’t pull aside to ask who they work for.
Yeah me too because unless mark Zuckerberg shot tear gas at you I still don't get it. You just sound really mad at FB and silicon valley for no good reason
How to process a DataFrame with billions of rows in seconds
Not sure why you're being downvoted. I can't imagine working for either company, especially in SV. I would be walking on eggshells lest someone hear, or overhear, something 'toxic' and my career gets ruined. It'd be safer to just not talk to anybody, or limit conversations to work topics only. That's an awful work environment. My demographic would make me a target, not a colleague.
Their individual action is that they work for facebook.

And continue doing so each day.

do fb employees think they get paid enough not to deal with the moral and ethical issues their work creates?
Wha?! It's kind of the definition. Talk when you like, say what you like.
Ah yeah, the biggest subs are a mixture of Astroturfing + Eternal September + Power Hungry Mods + (the cheapest form of) Meme Culture

I get much more value out of medium to small subs.
The difference is that Six Flags doesn't use visitor built roller coasters, unlike facebook and twitter who depend on user content to survive.

Or in other words, don't use lazy metaphors for lazy thinking. Facebook and Twitter are nothing like Six Flags.
Umm first of all social media is nothing like a park (public or private), and government has a lot of ammunition to fire at them if they decide to play politics.

When companies start getting hijacked by hipster activists, entering political arena and stepping on policy maker toes they are going to get smacked down - and rightfully so - the last thing we need is some anonymous nobody from twitter deciding what to fact check and how to frame it on what's presented as a public communication channel for the elected official.

If twitter was heavily right wing and they did this to Obama the same people cheering them on now would be up in arms - this is just partisan BS.
> Having the first half of every European news program start with the United States

You keep saying this but it's completely false, something you've just pulled out of your ass in a typical display of chest-puffing the person you're replying to is talking about.
Surely grid applications doing daily balancing care about cycles.
I don't think it's unreasonable to ask that acronyms in general be expanded towards the top, especially when there's a commonly-known overload in the same general subject area. Personally, I've been working in the field for six years and studied in it for six years before that, and I'm pretty sure I've never heard that term. Simply writing out the full phrase "Common Gateway Interface" would a) tell me it's not what I thought, and b) give me something to google so I can learn about the subject and/or decide if I'm interested in continuing to read.
Sounds like an apology. That's ok, I suppose. But I'd personally also love to see Microsoft pay Keivan for his contribution. It needn't be huge sums but something. No, not because it's the moral thing to do, but for the sake of Microsoft's GitHub and their open source community strategy itself. Keivan's project is exactly the type of projects Microsoft wants to encourage from their GitHub & open source endeavours for the eventual benefit of Microsoft. Paying Keivan something for his contribution to WinGet will really incentivise others to want to contribute to the ecosystem.
My main reference are the pre WWII Czechslovak border defenses - these do have gun shields & apertures that get wider to the outside:

Not that the apertures are stepped instead of smooth - I guess the avoid the funneling effect mentioned above, possibly changing a near miss to deflection and hit on the gun shield. Should not happen if the steps get in the way.
Everyone in this thread knows you live closer to Minneapolis than to Ürümqi. You started the thread by discounting the difficulties of black people in USA. You wanted someone to give you some "facts" to "support" the claim that racism is a problem. All of us made the same assumption based on that evidence. We don't need to imagine anything else.
Facebook is too big, has too much reach, and is largely unaccountable to elected representatives - especially outside the United States. Whether Facebook decides to censor an elected official is largely a red herring. They need to be broken up[1] so that individual countries have a chance at holding them to account if they do something shitty and users have more choice of what social network to use if they disagree with Facebook's policies.

[1] At a minimum, the WhatsApp and Instagram acquisitions need to be rolled back.

Neither allow you to build interactive user interfaces besides what is provided by the browser.

I understand the sentiment about reinventing the wheel, but this is more like inventing tyres I suppose (fortunately they are made of rubber, so I can stretch the analogy pretty far, haha). The wheel is there, but there is something to improve to cover more use cases.
Right, should edit/correct (but can not in original message), I don't think it is a freedom of speech issue; rather, a defamation/libel issue which is complex internationally and very different in otherwise similar jurisdictions.

My understanding that (recent news notwithstanding), generally publisher vs utility law in USA regarding ISPs, social networks, forums, etc, does take into account whether you are simply a platform (you don't moderate, just host) or publisher (you do write and moderate content), and protection against libel etc is different.

I am EXTREMELY not a lawyer but I do understand private websites have been bitten over their content once they started moderating / taking responsibility for it, i.e. unwittingly changed their status under that statute.

My suggestion to the author is merely to ensure they are taking the course that's wise and protective for themselves, in their particular jurisdiction, for their specific use case.
This is why we need to think using principles and clear policies.

We should first make decision if the the largest social media platforms are considered to be functioning in important public service role as utilities or not. That decision determines what to do with Trump tweets and who should moderate.
Australia to refund $720m in Centrelink ‘debts’ calculated by unlawful algorithm
No, broadly speaking there are no national laws in the US agaisnt firing someone for their political views.
It is complicated but basically in the US, at the national level there are a few protected classes (age, gender religion, race, disablity) and you can’t make the decison to fire someone based on these reasons.
You can fire people for any other reason or no reason, so in practice this protection is limited and genreally favors the employer. Some US states have their own addtional labor protections.
The comment is somewhat coherent in the first line. I'm not sure what happened after that. Nor am I sure why he wrote "You are someone I wouldn't hire" as if such a topic would come up during the interviewing process.
