Unfortunately, rules for humans don't work that way. It may be helpful to read up on "work to rule" strikes - they provide good context on what kinds of problems happen when people start trying to act up while staying within the letter of the rules.
The EU fisheries position is simply that the UK gets no special favours. The problem the UK faces is that the fish they catch are varieties that are mostly sold to European markets because UK consumers don't want them. Now they want the benefits of their own fisheries policy and to somehow magically get free access to the EU market to sell those fish they catch.

Oh, and a large chunk of the fishing rights to those waters were sold by UK fishermen to EU fishermen several decades ago.
It’s not a myth that it was a case, the issue that most people don’t known is it was overturned later.
On my personal blog, I just decided to go without any analytics. I feel like I'm writing for myself and to engage a close group of friends. Maybe make some new friends along the way.

I don't want to blog for page views or retweets, it just feels like it creates a bad set of incentives. Ultimately the feeder bar of vanity metrics feels so draining. The important post that 5 people deeply appreciate is just as valuable as a shallow clickbait listicle post that 1000s of people scan through.
> You just sound really mad at FB and silicon valley for no good reason

As a reader of Hacker News, it'd be quite hard to imagine you don't have at least have an understanding of some reasons to dislike Facebook or Silicon Valley. Not agreement, but at least an understanding. Every week it seems there is something posted for both topics...

A plumbers' work basically always improves society.

A software developers' work sometimes improves society, sometimes harms society, and sometimes is a meaningless waste of time. Society encourages developers to use their judgement and ideally improve society.

At it's core, I think caring about the feature you're making is a judgement on whether you think the feature will improve the world or not.
That's no crime. If developers wouldn't be allowed to do that we'd have a major crisis on our hands.

The worst infringement as far as I'm concerned is that MS tricked him into giving up all his secrets before they implemented it themselves.

If Microsoft ever came to talk to me about one of my projects the only thing I'd tell them is: "How much?" (are you willing to pay for it).

Thanks for clarifying.

Thinking in realpolitik may be a viable way to inform oneself of a strategy to achieve ends, but I don't accept it personally as a method of observation or diving a moral truth of an event. I.E. the means justify the ends etc. This is where I diverge on your assumptions. Usually this method is characterized as resulting in immoral outcomes.

Furthermore, it hasn't been established that CNN, with an army of lawyers on retainer and a a massive budget isn't in the position of power. For CNN the arrest played well if not better than the normal coverage. Would you dispute that the arrest buttressed CNN's narrative? These are the ends which were achieved by this event. It is evidenced by the fact that we are having this discussion.

Who has more power in media, CNN or whichever local police department?

The relevant expression would be, "The pen is mightier than the sword". However I will refrain from making the judgement of which side is in the position of power.

Let us also observe that the reporter was released. If the police department (or perhaps a social strata) were more powerful than CNN's (highly privileged) reporter then why was he released?

No, I am afraid that I am left with more doubts after examining it at depth.
Actually I agree that Microsoft move wasn’t fair to the author. The thing is, we read more and more posts here about people disappointed by open-source, with project they started and put lot of effort into and then didn’t get anything back when a company serves itself. But that what they allowed to happen in the first place. If I were to open source the main project I’m working on, I would think for a while to the kind of licensing (possibly dual) that would allow me to reap some benefits in case of success, by the project itself or its use by a company.
This one? I think it was posted to HN a few years ago.

I think a more accurate description would be that San Francisco chooses chaos. I've never lived anywhere more unreasonably governed. It's like the government is actively sabotaging quality of life and squandering its budget. One example--the city spent $15.5m to tear down a McDonalds in the Haight and turn it into a homeless tent camp.

Anyone know why Microsoft implemented their package manager in C++ and not C#?
This rant feels a bit banal, like it's going up against a straw-man just to be ... a rant. On one hand, I can't think of the last time a developer in an org I've worked with hasn't conspicuously and regularly used text windows wider than 80 columns. On the other, well-written code (and prose!) also exploits limiting line length for clarity and readability. There's clearly a balance, helpful rules of thumb paired with useful times to break those rules.

To be honest, the worst regular example I encounter, in either direction, is Markdown source with no hard line breaks. Markdown fully supports them, and trying to read paragraphs in whatever-hundred character lines is a painful exercise. Such irony, since part of the beauty of Markdown is dual readability in both source and rendered forms.

I hadn't actually seen the CNN incident until I saw it via the Australian journalist who were arrested.

It made quite an impact here - and while you seem to think it's journalist trying to get ahead in their careers in this case that doesn't make sense. Being arrested makes it more difficult for foreign journalists to re-enter the US which has a huge negative impact on their job.

I really didn't mean "I see FB I toss resume" or anything. In fact I have a huge desire to see people leave FB as well. I've worked for places I disagreed with completely but had to make a paycheck and that is soul crushing.

But they're fine right now. And my twitter is full of people who have been laid off recently and NEED gainful employment. If unemployment were where it was 3 months ago I wouldn't have said a word, especially not this firebrand.
It's AI/ML if you capture sounds at different levels/frequencies, run them all through FFTs, and then use AI/ML to model how the FFTs change with level/frequency.

The Neuron used to work like this - but it's not a cheap way to synthesise sounds, and it never sounded all that awesome.

This works in the DX7's parameter space and tries to find sweet spots within that space - which are hard to discover, even if you know what you're doing.

I'm not convinced it's much more successful than a plain old constrained parameter randomiser. But it is much easier to use.
I was curious as to relative abundance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abundance_of_elements_in_Earth...

Sodium is number 6 on the list, while Lithium is way down in the middle (above lead, below cobalt). Also, you can literally scoop sodium out of the ocean, so extraction will never be a problem over any reasonable human timescale.
Of course I see comments and articles about it all the time, I do not understand it and think they are totally wrong. Like I said no good reason that I have seen

I have recently moved to new role of a tech lead. I wanted to hear stories what went wrong in the role, things which could been avoided had some told you early. Or you realized what could went wrong and thereby made efforts to avoid situations ?

I wish I could disagree.

As I have remarked previously, freedom of speech is important for precisely the same reason that it is dangerous — it can change things.

Like most non-Americans, I’m not even close to the USA legal position on free speech. I absolutely do not accept the right to make one group hate another by words alone. What I don’t know is how to achieve that simultaneously with preventing the kind of censorship that leads to nations walking blindfolded into dictatorships.
I read somewhere (likely here) that this oddness comes from the idea that PDF is a way of structuring documents for print first, and presentation in a user interface is secondary.

That the rendering of the document on screen is paramount as opposed to ability to manipulate the text itself. "These characters should be displayed at this position in the document precisely"

It would make sense that exporting the document as HTML or Word would make this easier - as these document formats have different goals.

C and C++ is the dominant language for embedded devices. As of now, most developer use C/C++. Once the industry becomes a little bit mature(preprogrammed devices are available and affordable), people will most likely switch to easy languages like golang.
Full disclosure: I've worked in PE before, though I do not currently. Did not directly do anything involving LBOs.

Companies seeking LBOs are not generally in a great financial position. As a result, they tend to go bankrupt at a much higher rate than would otherwise be experienced. Hertz LBO happened before Icahn (a HF manager) got involved. People like Icahn don't invest in a company to lose money — clearly he believed that the company still had value even after PE got involved.

> Consider a vector of strings (`vector<string>`). The destructor deallocates the memory for all the strings, then deallocates the memory for the vector.

A vector (or binary tree as you mentioned later) of heap allocated elements in a performance critical path is a likely candidate to be redesigned if possible.

> As far as I can tell, you either have to pointer chase or use a custom allocation strategy. At some point with the second option, you're basically creating an ad-hoc garbage collector.

A custom, ad-hoc strategy is the way to go if you need them dynamically allocated and performance at the same time, yeah.

I wouldn't call that a GC, though. A GC usually refers to a global solution.

> But I think we may be in vigorous agreement here

Sounds like it!

You realize a barrel jack is just some metal of a certain size right? Calling a barrel jack proprietary because dell added crazy things to their own power supplies is nonsense. Barrel jacks have been around and sold individually in bulk for half a century.
There's no such thing as 'multi-threaded React'. JavaScript runs in a single thread unless you use web workers, which React doesn't (this was a popular idea a few years ago, but people have since come to accept that it adds overhead and complexity out of all proportion to the problem it's designed solve).

You're probably thinking of Concurrent Mode, which the talk does indeed address. Concurrent Mode is, among other things, a clever way of solving one of the problems introduced by the virtual DOM paradigm: that you have to rerun a lot of user code on every state change that will often block the main thread if you don't break it up into chunks.

I wonder how much effort it would take to enable Crew Dragon to fly people to the Moon and pull the rug from under Orion's feet?

A slightly improved heat-shield and some rad-hard electronics would do it IMHO. That would save NASA another $10 billion or so.

I find the statement that there's a public desire for a winged spaceship silly. I haven't heard anyone call out for such a vehicle, certainly no chant from the general public. The dream of an airliner-like space shuttle died when Columbia disintegrated upon reentry.

Probably because of startup time and size. Powershell faces these same problems.
Sure, agreed. The problem with dual licensing is that it does limit the project's potential, so unless it's a truly groundbreaking project (vs an iterative improvement) the adoption would be trickier IMHO.
Show HN: Fursona Editor
An interview with you would be fantastic.

Do any of the computer museums do that?

My mom used to interview people, mostly seniors, to capture oral traditions, get first hand accounts. I think the process she used was called "oral history". A simple format that any one could use to do their own interviews. She was long time volunteer for our local Swede-Finn historical org. She figured out how to do this once her parent's friends started passing away.

A friend played fiddle and was really into Americana. Most of the musicians were 70+. When they passed, all their lore and many of their songs were lost. So she started recording her friends and capturing their bios, life stories, stories about the music. She self-published a book and cassette combo. Two volumes, IIRC.

Just two examples of what I'm suggesting.

Evolution happens on all levels at the same time. So, while this is the most likely result, it's not impossible that things go in other ways.

Anyway, it's also very unlikely that those actions result in anything worse than resistance against those same actions in the future.

I would recommend watching the George Floyd murder video, and not for morbid reasons. I think it helps to understand how calmly, with his hands in his pockets, this cop sat on Floyd's neck for 8 minutes (the last 3 of which Floyd was unresponsive for) while an EMT asked for a pulse to be checked. This was not an accidental death.

I don't think the man who killed Tamir Rice understood that he was shooting somebody holding an airsoft gun, but if the killer wasn't a cop then I seriously doubt that they would have decided his actions in that situation were reasonable as self defence -- they probably wouldn't clear me of all wrongdoing if I claimed that a 12 year old kid pointed an airsoft gun at me before I killed him. There's a double standard. Despite the victim being a 12 year old, I can see how this is less egregious than what I consider to be the clearly intentional killing of a known-to-be-helpless George Floyd -- I brought it up as an incident in your specific community where this pattern of violence bubbled up so dramatically that it received nation wide news coverage. I think you misunderstood some facts around the hiring and firing of the cop. He lied on paperwork at the original (Cleveland) police department, which is the technical reason he was fired -- it came up during a review of him following the shooting. The other (Bellaire) police department knew what they were buying. A quote from the link in my last reply:

>“He was cleared of any and all wrongdoing,” the Bellaire police chief, Richard Flanagan, told The Times Leader of Martins Ferry, Ohio, adding that it was unfair to “crucify” the officer. “It’s over and done with.”

I could see there being a causal link between how your city handled this incident (as well as others like it) and how much violence you're seeing now, a few years later, when everybody is focused on this other prominent example of the pattern.

How Our startup transitioned to remoteteam during covid19
That's not how "embrace, extend, extinguish" works. That practice is in the context of standards, and not products. Microsoft was perfectly in its right to build a package manager. They based it on an open-source version that allowed copying and forking. So no issue there either.

They did string the developer along, but I'm not sure it was anything nefarious. I think the people at MS who were looking to acquihire Keivan ran into roadblocks at MS from higher-ups for whatever reason and it just fell apart. It probably wasn't a nefarious strategy to string Keivan along in order to boost their WinGet announcement - but just general inconsideration and rudeness in not communicating.

> License is Apache 2.0 which does not require acknowledgment.

Incorrect. See clause 4, especially 4.c.

> c. You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices from the Source form of the Work, excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of the Derivative Works; and

In the case of WinGet attribution was theoretically not required because the code was not copied directly, so a copyright license was not needed and the Apache License did not come into play. (Of course if AppGet's creator had Microsoft-level lawyering available, he could quite possibly persuade a court that copyright infringement did occur.)

But the Apache License 2.0 absolutely does require acknowledgment!

- we released a thing

- yes we spent time courting the guy who made a version of the thing that ours looks suspiciously like, turns out he’s really good

- well yes our thing has a lot of features taken from the other thing!

- we’re excited for the future!! Maybe that guy can even help us out since he loves open source so much hahaha

Addresses for everyone, even where a physical address has not been defined
It seems a lot of people are advocating two things:

- Western social media companies are evil; and

- Freedom of speech is bad.

You may very well get rid of Facebook and freedom of speech, but I would like to just remind to all of you folks in the West that when you only have Chinese social media companies and no freedom of speech, there will be thousands of cases MUCH worse than George Floyd and you won't even be allowed to talk about them.
True, everyone has their "enough of that" point. But it seems to me that the people who work at Facebook are after the good money, the prestige and the stable job that is mostly immune to tremors (like the pandemic).

I can't generalise all of them of course. But we never had historical data of people mass-leaving big corps over such issues so I'm tempted to believe in my generalisation.
