Maybe not, but the USA have invaded countries that also didn't ratify human rights conventions and executed people as war criminals for human rights violations. So the USA seem to think they do apply. Human rights are generally thought to apply universally, not only in countries that agree.
> Our culture has shifted further toward valuing the individual over the group

Further from where? For better or worse, America has always been a deeply individualist country. Is it maybe the case that now the less savory consequences of that are more visible than ever before?
The good old game of term switcheroo, Americans like to play it a lot
I think a lot of the people voted for Biden because he was more electable than Sanders. I don’t share that opinion - Sanders scares the hell out of me.

I consider myself a bleeding heart pro capitalist pig. In other words I believe in a social safety net funded by taxes and the free market.

Running is also by far the most efficient form of cardio in terms of calories burned / time.
So if the hardware running the database is suddenly destroyed they try to start another instance really fast?

That seems inferior to having multiple sync replicas ready to take over without having to start a process and replay the WAL.

Also, such an HA block store seems very easy to replicate ( I'd guess there would be something open source already), not much of a competitive advantage.

Remember TinderBanking from 2018?
Caroline Maloney successfully making the point that Suraj Patel is creepy. When I first saw the ad go by while fast forwarding on a cable network, it seemed like Patel was being attacked just for having a tinder profile. But he really is that creepy.

Anyway, besides being attacked for his alleged attraction to underage women, the ad refers to this:

I've said this multiple times, but it bears repeating:

The most important job of a parent is to make sure their kid(s) are bored.

From boredom comes innovation and the ability to be alone with ones thoughts.

We practiced this actively with our first-born and they can invent a game or play with just about anything.

A scarf will be a cape, the exercise stick I was using is a staff and now they're Gandalf. Next the scarf is a roof in a fort, which the stick is holding up etc.

And just the ability for kids to be quiet and alone with their thoughts on long car trips is amazing. Brings up some really weird questions though, when a preschooler or first grader thinks about stuff for a while :)
> Romantic relationships don't cure anger nor violence.

I can honestly pinpoint you the day my life changed forever for the better. It's the day I lost my virginity. That one moment where I felt myself being accepted made me realize I was good enough.

Ever since then, I'd become less angry, more confident, more loving of myself, more charitable towards other people's insecurities instead of positioning myself higher in some imaginary pecking order.

I am far from being truly non-judgmental. I am also still very competitive with others, not un-occasionally in some mean, vicious way. But I no longer feel completely rejected by women, which, for some reason, mattered so much before that very moment.

Obviously, I am just one person and my anecdote may mean nothing to the breadth of your experiences. But I can't agree with this one sentence.
I’ve been using Linux on the server side exclusively for years and twice before tried to switch to Ubuntu and Fedora (two separate times during Apple’s butterfly-switch years).

So I do have some background but not a PhD in Linux in the Desktop.

What I’ve found is that if you’re mostly dealing with programming, dev work, and maybe some more specialized graphics work (not just twiddling with artwork and media using the computer as an artistic tool), almost any Linux desktop may be entirely adequate.

But if you do like (somewhat more) consistent UIs and a deep catalog (more than 2 in every category) of very good apps, your much better off in Mac/Windows :(

I’d like that to change but just like Fusion energy my excitement will not make it happen any sooner than 20 years from now. (I could’ve said that same thing the first time I tried Red Hat for my workstation (against Windows 3.1) in like 1996...).

Show HN: Hacker News as an Event Stream
Twilio Developer Evangelist here. Our Super SIM Product Manager @matjaxon had his comments held up since he has a new HN account so I'm passing this along from him: "You could send the same information to and from your devices using either SMS Commands or data but it would likely cost you a lot more to use SMS Commands. While our prices start at $0.10 per MB, we bill you in bytes.

For example, if each time your device checks in you exchange 50 KB of data, you could do that 20 times for $0.10. You can only communicate with your device twice using SMS Commands at $0.05 per SMS Command. SMS Commands are often used as a way of configuring some IoT hardware solutions where you can set configuration values over SMS or to communicate with your device if it seems like something is going wrong with its data connection. It's an extra way of interacting with your device that may be deployed into the field thousands of mile away from you."
ptrace is definitely one of the most frustrating APIs I’ve ever used. Admittedly, my main use of it was on armv7 and aarch64 Android devices and the kernels are generally wildly different with tons of vendor patches. On some devices, maybe one of the ptrace calls would fail or return invalid data. On one of the worst devices I worked with, simply calling ptrace would cause a kernel panic and reboot (the broken /proc/last_kmsg and pstore implementations made debugging this interesting too). And this was in PID 1 before any SELinux policies or seccomp stuff were loaded.

Or where a male boss of theirs made sexually discriminatory or otherwise hostile remarks against them in a workplace (dismissing a woman's perspective on a topic definitely counts here).

As a male who has been subjected to all of these and more (from both male and female perpetrators), I'll attest that sexual misconduct against towards men really does happen.
### Update for 2020:

I'm a correctness answerer on Stack Overflow. Top 0.14% on the site. There are established ways to overthrow correct but outdated answers (I've just used one). They have emerged organically through the community. This is mainly through necessity, especially in the JavaScript world where the standard library was missing, and now includes, nearly everything one would expect in a modern programming environment and much more.

However it would be nice for highly upvoted answers that replace existing marked correct answers that are no longer getting votes to be marked as the 'community accepted' answer.
Redux, Modularity, and the Law of Demeter
Is there a culture of math/science/tech (m/s/t)negation in the young black community? If there is, has it been caused by peer white oppression that acts to drive them away or is it caused by peer black oppression by some blacks who see other blacks attracted to m/s/t and ridicule them?
We know that this does not happen to Asian students - what helps Asians enter m/s/t and blocks the black students?
We are advised that all races have similar mental abilities - so there MUST be some strong coercive force at play. We know there is a strong social bias to study and do well in Asian as well as white students - is there a family-social pressure that limits black students?
If there is such a coercive pressure on black students, we need to realize this, identify and act in the educational system to block this. This extends to assisting black family unity as well as financial assistance to allow greated family unity so that mothers/fathers have more time at home with their kids - versus all having 2 jobs and kids gravitate to peers without anyone to look to for guidance. This is a complex social situation and I suspect it has attracted scholarly attention, and has come to some conclusions in this area.
Things like online socialization and learning, with limits on coercive bullying. I have read about the bullying that is widespread online - is this a factor? Is there online racial bullying that is not suppressed? Online we should all be equal, how can anyone find out what your skin color is?
Do we need an under 14 or under 16 internet milieu? Big Brother? I recall defending my younger brother from bullies in 1950 (I am 81), so a big brother is OK in principal.
There is an old book, about life in Samoa where kids are raised by the village, and they do OK. Once they reach puberty = come of age, sex emerges and it is far different to the USA experience. The book, Coming of Age in Samoa, by Margaret Mead has been criticised as it prgresses into the sexual years, but it stand up well for the junior years - albeit there is a monoculture.
To sum up, we need to solve this problem so our society becomes one in which all lives matter, and we never see people murdered on screen by white police - even if it means we shake up the police, their procedures and especially their unions - who seem to want the status quo to carry on!!!

> Hypothetically, a societal identity which does not ensure biological reproduction could be evolutionarily outcompeted by one that does

Ah, this is pretty close to the same claim that "JayMan" made once when explaining to me how "gay people shouldn't exist, evolutionarily speaking" (because, of course, the gays would be outcompeted genetically by non-gays, and the identity wouldn't persist, right?)

Let me tie it into this:

> if the environment that enables the financial prosperity of these model citizens also disables their ability to reproduce their way of life, how does it successfully compete in "the marketplace of ideology" against opponents who out-produce them by default?

Because ideologies don't exist in a market, they exist within an ecosystem. To put it plainly: it doesn't matter if the finance guys don't have kids, because the finance guys aren't themselves breeding more finance guys. The fact that the role of "finance guy" exists at all is a product of the broader cultural ecosystem, which wont disappear even if all the extant finance guys do.

But all this is beside the point. Land's post lays out a sociological model (viewing the world as a detached observer) and then, through sleight-of-hand and careful selection of metrics, converts it into a measure of value (how one views one's life as an individual).

If your sociological frame makes the world look like a dys/utopia, consider that it might be a flawed frame, at least if your goal is to see clearly.

"You can chat with a PT for 50–80$ and they can tell you exactly what's wrong & how to fix it in less than an hour."

That's a complete lie. Most PTs don't know anything about anything and will try to milk you for "motivating" you in your workout and keeping a notebook for you on a regular basis. Usually for at least $300-500 a month, even at horrible gyms. By no means will they be able to tell you remotely, let alone, exactly "what's wrong".

"Personally, I just do weighted squats & heavy deadlift, but if your knees are bad, that's a bad idea."

Yea, and guess what? There is no easy solution for this, let alone one provided by a random PT. It's a cascading effect - you have one injury, you can't address the muscle imbalances causing it.

As far as posterior chain weakness, there is also the issue of lordosis, which results in horrible squat form. Deadlifts do help, but again, there is the risk of hyper-extension.

In short, solutions to this are far, far more complicated than your post implies.

> Secrets management systems such as Hashicorp Vault or AWS Key Management Service

KMS isn't a secrets management system. It's for managing encryption keys, though it can be used in tandem with AWS's Parameter Store, which can be used as a secret management system. As a matter of fact, Task Definitions in ECS can pull those secrets out as environment variables in your containers, which IMO is pretty elegant.

10 years ago, Ubuntu became the Linux on the Desktop for me. I do everything with it. Browse the net, watch movies, play games, develop software. Everything, and I couldn't be happier.

The Linux on the Desktop arrived a decade ago for me, so your assertion puzzles me deeply.
Now that I know this exists, I'm going to use it as a bag tracker to tell me where my baggage went when I travel. I'll probably just get one and use it as my car tracker to tell me when to move for street parking. Or maybe I can just inactive it.

That's not his conclusion. This is:

Well to be fair it's not like Cap Hill wasn't already full of "homeless people and drug addicts" before, and that hasn't stopped it from also being a hip neighborhood.

It'll be a decent experiment to see if they can come up with non-violent policing alternatives to keep order, or if they resort to the same tactics as before.
I have mixed feelings on my own reaction to this. A huge part of me loves this - and supports a huge chunk of their demands. Then they talk about free housing and rent control... and I can feel myself shy away. I can imagine how other moderates / economics students / actual conservatives might react. It pains me to have to split my values. Do you support good intentions paired with policies you believe will cause more harm than good - or do you side with policies you agree with even though it makes you an “enemy” to the peer culture you yearn to belong to. Republicans won’t listen to comments about open borders, and Democrats won’t listen to comments about the issues with nationalization.

This has been my political problem my whole life. Agree with old white boomers on tax policy and with young radicals on immigration policy. Far too often my brain says “keep your mouth shut” - “save it for other Econ nerds” - and I’m beginning to think I’m no longer OK with that conclusion. Support to Seattle!
FWIW, I have a real world Python3 application that does the following:

- receives an HTTP POST multipart/form-data that contains three file parts. The first part is JSON.

- parses the form.

- parses the JSON.

- depending upon the JSON accepts/rejects the POST.

- for accepted POSTs, writes the three parts as three separate files to S3.

It runs behind nginx + uwsgi, using the Falcon framework. For parsing the form I use streaming-form-data which is cython accelerated. (Falcon is also cython accelerated.)

I tested various deployment options. cpython, pypy, threads, gevent. Concurrency was more important than latency (within reason). I ended up with the best performance (measured as highest RPS while remaining within tolerable latency) using cpython+gevent.

It's been a while since I benchmarked and I'm typing this up from memory, so I don't have any numbers to add to this comment.
Actually, you'd probably find the iPhone outperforms your current laptop (Assuming average 2y-old laptop). It just doesn't have the same UX, or the ability to run desktop apps.
> That's where Gitlab should be putting their efforts, in building a solid platform for dev and ops taking code to production instead of acquiring middle-of-the-road in-between tech like Peach Tech and Fuzzit, that add complexity to the core offering without checking many boxes for the clients seriously on the lookout for app/api testing.

IMO acquiring a small business does not shift focus away from other parts of the product. Peach Tech and Fuzzit now have the support of the rest of GitLab and that benefits everyone. I don't know the headcount of the two companies that were acquired but I would think this would be equivalent to spinning off a small team to focus on an area (fuzzing) that could add value to the greater software community.

The idea that these companies were acquired to check a checkbox is disrespectful to the work that they were doing before the acquisition.

When GitLab decided to give the `.gitlab-ci.yml` a try it was a risk. It seems to have paid off because others started to copy them. Introducing fuzzing to be part of the devops life cycle could be thought of the same way.

> Focus on the platform, enabling integrated customization and implementation robustness while orchestrating the outside moving parts and a great plugin ecosystem. Then get that certification program going strong. Right now your competitor Github "are belong to" Microsoft, and MS, better or worse, sure can do the platform thing for the many sizes of businesses where the meat of your revenue is truly coming from.

It sounds like you have some amazing ideas. Contribute them https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/new. The issue tracker isn't the equivalent of `/dev/null`. Community contribution is the core of GitLab. Everyone can contribute.

GitHub might host a lot of open source but GitLab is open source.
And guess what? Apple overtook Microsoft in revenue and profit not because of government intervention but because of strong leadership and being innovative - capitalism worked.
A Lesson About Polls
> just mark a function `async` and throw an `await` ... to [move] something from blocking to non-blocking.

That's not how it works. `async` and `await` are merely syntactic sugar around callbacks. Everything in javascript is already nonblocking[1], whether or not you use async/await.

[1] There are a few rare exceptions in node js (functions suffixed with "Sync"), but in the same vein, they are blocking whether or not you use async/await.

Philip Purser-Hallard: "The drugs did work": https://www.theguardian.com/film/2006/aug/12/sciencefictionf...
The end user does not care about the "computing stack" at all. "Does it work" and "is it cheap enough" are the main considerations.

And "the product would be better and cheaper" is really wishful thinking. I've worked in this industry for ~4 decades, so I really remember vividly working on those "less messy and more elegant" systems, and no, building a remote-controlled doorbell with life video on one of them would neither be better nor cheaper.

The sheer idea of doing this on a 128B machine (Olivetti Programma 101, my first machine) is ludicrous. The idea of processing any kind of video on a DG Nova Eclipse(second one) is... ambitious.

The first time we had machines with the processing power to do useful things with video for an at least semi-reasonable price was sometimes around the introduction of the Pentium, with dedicated hardware to process the incoming camera stream. I happen to know because I moved a video package that required a cluster of SGI machines to said P90.

Yes, the code was small. The video processing core was also the result of 6 rather sleepless weeks, squeezing every single cycle out of the CPU. I couldn't just grab OpenCV and make it happen. It also involved lots of spectacular hacks and shortcuts that happened to work in the environment in question, but would break down for a general purpose video processing system.

Around that same time the world also just barely had figured out the basic ideas behind making WiFi work usefully. But let's assume we would've just hard-wired that camera. If you wanted to do that with an embedded system, you wrote your own networking stack. That takes about 18 months to make work in anything that's not an extremely controlled environment - it turns out people's ability to misread networking specs and produce barely non-compliant systems is spectacular. (Source: Been there, done that ;)

So now we have the most basic system working. We have, however, no way of storing the video stream without more dedicated hardware, because realtime compression is not possible. (And if you think that dedicated hardware was less messy and more elegant... /lolsob)

Was the total codebase smaller? Yes. Were the programmers happier? F# NO. Would it have had anywhere close to the functionality that something like Ring has? Yeah, really, no. It's size would've been roughly a large desktop tower. It's cost would've been ~$5000.

The "good old days" really weren't.
That's definitely possible, I don't know enough about the history, but now that there is a lot of established sprawl it does have a causal effect in discouraging public transit.

Also, in the context of comparing to other countries, I would think many did not have the land available to spread out in the same way at the time cars were available? I'm just curious how much of this may be related to the timing of the US
And conversely there are things that currently exist for which theories are yet to be made.

And the there are things that we thought they existed because we had theories for them which we later found incomplete or utterly wrong.
At the risk of sounding cold... anything that causes the mortality rate of men in this high risk category to rise significantly would likely reduce the overall problem. For example, making the choice of suicide readily available for young men that face poo life prospects, and the choice of ending your own life for the better of society a virtue, perhaps even heroic.

Whether enough people would see such a thing as acceptable for it to become policy is an entirely different issue.
