I can imagine a consistent "promoting violence is bad" policy - I think we can all agree that the general standards of e.g. a corporate office wouldn't permit Trump's statement. But there's no universe where "when the looting starts the shooting starts" glorifies violence more than "riots are the voice of the unheard", and 100% of the people complaining to Zuckerberg would oppose banning that second message.
I didn't say they shouldn't try and improve their workplace. My point is actually the opposite. They can try because they work at FB. In most other companies they wouldn't be able to even try.
My experiences are more toward to the consumer side of things. As a consumer, my perception is that the service culture there is unbelievably good. But I also understand that the experiences between the tourist and the local ones differ.

Bureaucracy I've had no experiences with except with immigration. I guess being a non-resident foreigner has advantages too. I once ran into some issues due to a mixup, but Japan immigration fixed it, told me something to the effect "next time, please be mindful of this issue and avoid doing this", and let me into the country anyway.
This makes sense to me. I think it’s really important to be able to predict what the software will do under certain circumstances. You can do that only if you have a pretty good concept of the thinking behind the code. I usually get nervous when something doesn’t behave as expected because it indicates that there is a mismatch between the theory and its implementation.

This would explain why a lot of corporate software isn’t good. There is no shared understanding and a lot of people make changes without understanding the big picture.
Where I work, we run thousands of JVM instances on bare VMs without issues. We've been doing it for years.

As we're moving these VM based deployments to k8s, the overhead is going up as well as issues. The old system was super easy to understand. "this program downloads the new build file, it extracts it to this directory, starts it up, checks if it's healthy, spins down the old instance, an then updates the load balancer with the new port"

Yes, free speech has some negative consequences. That’s what it means to be in a free society. If your only solution to so-called misinformation (as defined by who?) is censorship and controlling of information, you’ve already lost.

In case you forgot, this website is called Hacker News. Once upon a time, hacker culture was anti-authoritarian.
In other news, Zynga apparently has $1.8B to blow.
I think “terms set by the EU” is framing. One could also call it “terms negotiated between the EU and the UK”, and I think that’s closer to the truth.

The UK’s position “we want to keep free trade, but don’t want to abide to the rules that go with it, and there definitely can’t be a border between the UK and Ireland in Northern Ireland, but there must be one between Europe and the UK” won elections at home, but they never could have expected the EU to accept them.

More or less. I don't think they even argue about the economics of it any more.

As long as they can blame somebody else (the EU, remainers, the global situation) they will be happy. They want to mould the UK into their own vision and don't care how many people are disadvantaged in the process.

> I really don't see how we'd have any websites where user content is the service's value (Pinterest, recipe sharing sites, LinkedIn, Reddit).

There are a number of ways to go about moderation. The change would be minimal, or none, for sites that already apply a good faith strict moderation effort and horrid for sites that supply the minimal moderation required by criminal law.
Yes. Stop using Windows. Contribute to FOSS alternatives. License your code GPL3. Don't ask someone else to change. Be the change.

Hey dexed is awesome! I was the coauthor for [2], it for was my 3rd year undergraduate dissertation. A lot of the work went into creating a Python VST host capable of generating huge datasets of random patches.

I'm looking at some of the fancy new ML tricks that have come out since that paper was wrote and have been thinking there would be significant improvements over the LSTM we used.
Hey, Brother, Can You Spare a Hubble? (2012)
I fixed this with MidiFire on Mac. I created a map that scales 0-100 to 0-127. I also added a control to shift octaves. The only real annoying thing is the fact that it doesn't send aftertouch unless the current patch has it enabled.
If you have an ubuntu based distro, you can probably install dexed (or hexter, another DX7 softsynth) from the kxstudio repos ( https://kx.studio/Repositories )
Interesting that you seem to have come to a conclusion that is basically the opposite of reality. The UK wants to have its cake (benefits of trade and travel ties) and eat it too (none of those dirty foreigners, except when we need them to staff the NHS during a pandemic and then only with gritted teeth.) The Tory government is much like the Trump administration in that they have roped themselves to an angry, bitter rump to achieve power and can't quite figure out how to extricate themselves without humiliation.

There is no exit that puts the UK in a better position because it imagines itself to have power and influence that it does not possess. Personally, I am now resigned to looking forward to no-deal Brexit so that the midlands, coastal fishing villages that should have ceased to exist decades ago, and rural counties can get the royal economic fucking they deserve.

Boris somehow thinks that by sucking up to Trump he is going to get some magic trade deal to save himself, but any deal needs to get through the US House and they are not even going to bother putting it on the calendar. Nothing will happen until the start of the Biden administration and since they will be focused on domestic issues and repairing frayed foreign ties in this first 100 days you are looking at nothing for at least a year. The UK is so hosed it is almost funny, but at least it will drive down London property prices...

there is a difference between saying "I think this war (insert a war: Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc) is wrong and unjust" and your quote is absolutely true. Some people believe in the wars, some dont but ultimately its up to us to understand a statement like above can be said openly and honestly and without fear of retribution.

However, and where Facebook crosses a line, is that when you allow someone to post unabashedly false things to drive emotions. Saying "Trump is a weak leader" isn't wrong or false, just an opinion. Saying that Nancy Pelosi murdered a baby deer with her bare hands on the floor of the House and pushing it as absolutely true is where we currently are.

You don't have a right to push verifiably false information with no recourse. You have a right to say your opinion. Just like you can't yell fire in a movie theater, or bomb on an airplane.
History is always happening. It is now considered inappropriate to appeal to the male gaze in content on a professional topic.
>Giving a platform to incite violence and spread disinformation is unacceptable, regardless who you are or if it’s newsworthy,

As someone who grew up in Christchurch this Tweet strikes a nerve. Not a single thing has changed at Facebook that would hinder an armed lunatic from freely live streaming a killing spree to thousands on the platform.

This is not anything new.
Yeah it's very dubious to me that YAML is the better approach, at least from the perspective of the average enterprise looking for Windows package management tooling.

There are still too many nasty installers out there, I'd be very worried about the ability to do what I need without a full scripting language at hand.
I think the AppGet wanted his name on the repo.
Right, but the problem with having the narrow part on the inside is that any arrow that hits within the "cone" will be "funneled" right into the defender; whereas what you want is for attackers' arrows to hit only if they manage to get just the right place.

The wording is slightly unclear, but I can't imagine anyone this well-versed in medieval warfare wouldn't know that arrow slits would be wider inside than outside.
Go to your professor's (for any class, not just CS) office hours whenever those hours aren't in demand (e.g. they are often in demand right before a midterm, so go other times).

A college degree is expensive and one of those things you pay for is to have several subject-matter experts who are required to talk to students about their field of expertise for an hour if any students show up. People complain that being an SME doesn't necessarily make you a good teacher (which is 100% true) but one-on-one (which happened at least once per semester for me for any class with less than about 150 students), they usually love talking about their field of expertise.
Then Google should pay Oracle for using the Java API :')
Like I said it's vague (and as OP said, from a year or two ago), but I think it included restrictions on non-EU trade that were worse than no-deal.
Wow. I wish I could destroy public property and pretty much do whatever I want when I feel wronged or slighted and instead of facing punishment, people like you explain to the world that I'm hurt and that this is my way of lashing out and in some way it's not my fault.

This really is how we treat children.

You aren't considering the business owners that just had their businesses destroyed.

You are considering the innocent people that were ripped out of their vehicles during the protest and beaten nearly to death.

At this point, the protesters don't even care about the death of a black man. They only are using it as an excuse to burn the country down.

I stopped taking the mainstream media seriously long ago and I'm now even questioning the motives and the intelligence of people that post here on HN.
Of course there are implicit expectations and etiquette. What I’m saying is that corporations are less likely than individuals to follow them so if one doesn’t want to be screwed they have the opportunity to do it with the license.

You speak of academic code, and precisely some projects require (or at least ask for) citations in their license file if use in a research context.
I thought Zynga already bought Peak Games. Was that something else?
The main reason is because some rich donors (to the governing Conservative party) have hedge positions that will make them a lot of money in the event of a hard brexit.
Amazing to me that so many people in these comments believe Facebook is or can be apolitical. This is a very childish stance, and Zuck is not standing up for their right to remain out of politics: they're deeply political, and Facebook is just asserting which political viewpoints they subscribe to as an organization.

The primary aim of programming is to solve problems. The moment you forget that one simple fact you are already heading in the wrong direction.
I think that’s an accurate and sad take. That people are being so childish and tribal they can’t see past their own noses.

“It’s a private company” when they want to use it and “Internet is a right” when they don’t.

I have no problem with 80 lines side by side with vscode taking up half of my 3440x1440 display (so 200px less wide than a single 1920 × 1440 display). Even with the extra space taken up by the github UI, I can't imagine 40 additional chars is a big deal.

Even at 80 I occasionally sacrifice readability for line breaks to keep my company's linter from throwing a fit. 60 does not sound like a good idea to me.

Moderators on HN decide all the time whether a post should be deleted or not. Why is this a problem if it's on Facebook or Twitter? I don't see why anybody even the president deserves a private platform. If he doesn't want to be censored he can make an official press release like every other president has in the history of the presidency.
Microsoft isn’t a human being, terrible or otherwise.
That sounds like a real fun customer group (which I personally would try to get rid of asap).

And open source vs. closed source doesn't really drastically change anything here, since you could just charge support per installation (and they could try to lie about how many installations there are, etc.).

I am Hertz Alumni, 2011-2016. We had a great group of engineers and product people, many of us far too talented to be in company like what hertz turned into. We were under the leadership of an incredible division head and most of the folks in our group felt a deep sense of loyalty to her. Nearly all of us, including that division head, are gone now, mostly laid off. If you poll any random Hertz alumnus, the story you're likely to hear is "we had a great team and incompetent senior management."

To us, there is a quote in a different bloomberg article from last week [1] which strikes us as accurate. Attributed to Maryanne Keller, who is referred to in this article, it says:

> 'It’s a saga about gross mismanagement,” said Maryann Keller, a longtime auto-

> industry consultant who was on the board of Dollar Thrifty when Hertz acquired

> the company. “It could have been salvaged had he picked the right management,”

> she said, referring to Icahn.'

Icahn lost $1.6b. Thousands of us lost our jobs. But these C-suiters sailed the company to bankruptcy over five years, each of them extracting 7 or 8 figure bonuses. The CIO who laid us all off, for example, received $6.5 million compensation that year [2]. (Sidenote, the work we were doing was replaced with Accenture consultants, who couldn't handle it, screwing up so bad they ended up in court [3].)

One former colleague of mine wrote a post on LinkedIn suggesting Icahn was the unwitting victim of untenable debt situation, and while he may be correct that the debt made it difficult, Icahn can read a balance sheet and he understood the situation.

I can't speak about Marinello's performance, but I agree that the problem dates back to 2014 or even earlier. People have a widespread belief that Frissora was flying too close to the sun, driven by his aggressive personality. Despite his flaws, he had a great team of people who kept the business running, and it wasn't Frissora who fired them all. Nobody, it turns out, was a fan of him. But everyone agrees he was far better than the gang of unusually wealthy miscreants that Icahn replaced him with.

LOL that's so me; I am not perfect. My partner went vegan a few years ago while she was eating a filet mignon at our anniversary dinner and just said "I'm not eating meat anymore."

I don't eat meat at home now but I definitely get it when I'm out at a restaurant. Eeek. Occasionally she gets all 'cmon man' but usually it's OK.

I am pretty sure I have some old scripts using python's cgi module in production somewhere. They get about seven hits a day and have never gotten more than ten, nor will they ever, so scale here is irrelevant. Sad to hear that it has been deprecated.

The issue aside, you’re simply chastising a straw man that you’ve constructed by assuming the worst possible interpretation of every aspect of your opponent’s position, seemingly without ever having spoken to one of them. This is not an effective way to communicate.

It’s just sanctimonious grandstanding. This is how you get lots of internet points while even further exacerbating the very same problem you’re railing against.

And that’s coming from someone who agrees with you.

No it's not inconsistent. You simply do not understand.

The first amendment protects you from censorship by the government:

> Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

The social media companies argue they are not common spaces so they can maintain
'jurisdiction' over their own sites. This isn't related to the first amendment at all, as they are not a government entity.

Being asked to share social media does chill first amendment free speech, because it's the government that gets to see everything you do and say online
and thus there is an incentive to self-censor in fear of later retaliation.

The whole point of the first amendment isn't that you can say anything you want at any time anywhere, it's that you don't have to fear retaliation from the government.

But let's assume that your issue is
with 'free speech' online in general, not just in the context of the first amendment. Then there is still a huge difference between the two.

If, say, Reddit
censors the speech you wish to spread, you don't suffer any consequences beyond
being unable to use Reddit as your platform. You're free to use any other social
media to spread your message.

If the government requests all social media accounts your speech is chilled everywhere, effectively censoring you, the person.

Those should only apply to users accessing from those nations

It is a complex issue for a global company for sure, but I do not want the internet to be censored down to the lowest common denominator of Government regulations.

In theory, that all makes sense. Except in reality, it doesn’t play out that way. There is no neutral arbiter on what is a fact or what precise meaning a 140-character tweet is supposed to have. Philosophers have written about this for centuries. In the current political climate I really don’t trust any side to be mature enough to present all perspectives on a situation.

As I said, our culture has become so insecure that people are begging for censorship of ideas they don’t like. It’s a dangerous road to go down.
Yes to atherosclerosis, not too much about nootropics. It's a fantastic course, available from the Stanford school of continuing studies. It was a two full days weekend seminar taught by a neuropsychologist who works at the Stanford Hospital. I'm not an alumni and anyone can register for these course so I really, really recommend it!

Although you're right that his comment made the coding standard ambiguous, I found myself agreeing with Linus in this particular case. What we need to do often in a large C project is to grep some function prototype against the source tree, and it sucks if it's wrapped like this.

To rephrase: my spam folder only has stuff that I can't unsubscribe from because it was genuinely unsolicited. I rarely, if ever, get unsolicited marketing because I untick the "send me promo shit" checkboxes. Otherwise, I assume it was my mistake in giving them my email in the first place.

If I get an email from an email I don't want legitimate company, I unsubscribe and never have to worry about getting non-transactional email from them anymore. I _do_ still get transactional emails from them, because I didn't misclassify them as unsolicited.
