I may be reading the Twitter terms incorrectly, but it seems like any solution will be against it.

TOS states:

This is exactly what the proposed solution would have to do.
You know what's funny is that Microsoft does a great job with what I call "community QA" on some of their other properties, like Minecraft. The Minecraft bug tracker[0] is readily accessible and the community around it tracks down most bugs before they hit retail via their "snapshot" release cycle.

The Windows side, not so much. The words "Windows Insider" come to mind, but honestly, I have no idea how that works. It doesn't feel like there's a community around it, or if there is, it must be small. If I run into a bug post-update on Windows, I certainly don't feel empowered to pop open a Jira like I do for Minecraft.

I get that it's a different scale and all - but it seems like Microsoft should really put some effort into crowdsourcing their bug reporting if they're not going to invest thoroughly in QA/regression testing for their flagship product.

There are two kinds of people on the web: the ones who click and the ones who don't click. I don't understand why, but for some reason, most people will click on absolutely anything. Even if they know it's malicious, they will still click, just because they want to "investigate". It's terrifying.
So your gripe is that people loose the context when its obvious what is meant, yeah?

Similar to what some are doing in Korea: issue gift cards that can only be used in local markets to local people: in that way one can ensure the money goes to local business rather than imported goods/internet shopping/whatever.

Another policy in Korea (which is more direct and bigger in scale) is: issuing people money directly via online banking (about a few hundred dollars per person, maybe more depending on your wage status), but put constraints on credit/check card usage such that the money can only be used in certain businesses (mostly shops and local restaurants).

They advised against travel restrictions for two reasons:

1. Research has shown that travel restrictions are ineffective at preventing the spread of highly infectious respiratory viruses.

2. The entire framework of international health cooperation is set up to discourage travel restrictions. The International Health Regulations of 2005, a treaty that basically every country in the world is a party to, says that travel restrictions should only be applied if there is strong scientific evidence that they will work. The WHO was simply following the rules laid down by the US and all the other countries that wrote and signed the IHR.

Instead, the WHO recommended measures like screening of travelers who have been to affected areas, as well as widespread testing, tracing and isolation. Countries that implemented those measures (such as South Korea) did much better than countries that quickly instituted travel bans but did not conduct widespread testing (such as Italy and the US).

As for the effectiveness of masks, what studies are you referring to? My impression was that research was mixed before the pandemic, with some studies showing that low-quality masks could actually increase transmission if used by the public.
It's not a new pattern though.

Before they've done it for telemetry and identifying which initiative this click is from. Nowadays it's just that they're redirecting the default route to a particular site after, so they could potentially switch the site they redirect to later.

While a small annoyance to mobile users which go there from sites like hn, it does give the owner of the site a tiny amount of control where ppl end up on their site.

At least that's my interpretation...

Thanks. I know that you are someone that is a bit on the older side (maybe not quite my age, but a bit more experienced than many).

I am glad to see your optimistic outlook. I have a similar one. I have often been accused of being "negative," which makes me laugh.

It's just that I have been delivering software for more than 30 years, and have come to learn that there's a great deal of work necessary, when creating and nurturing a vibrant, growing, and attractive future.

There's a lot of compromise, as well as many layers, built over time, with care and patience. Testing, documentation and support are necessary, as well as a commitment to "seeing the story through to the end."

I have compared creating SDKs and modules to having children. Once we have brought them into the world, we are responsible to maintain them, and support them for the rest of our lives.

Those are "classic" values that are just as valid today, as they were when Fred Brooks was a kid.

In reality, we are standing on a mountain of work, done by our predecessors.

We don't need to rebuild the mountain; just put on oxygen masks.

> You know ahead of time how many items you're trying to insert, it would be completely pointless to return that.

In simple CRUD cases yes. In many other scenarios, you might not. If your insert is a select statement, with joins and clauses, you can easily insert too much data, or no data at all.

> ("I don't care if I lose the latest writes - just don't corrupt my database") would be very useful in many situations, and should perhaps be added/promoted in a more clear fashion.

PostgreSQL has such a capability; "synchronous_commit=off". If you do want performance at all costs at the risk of integrity there's a separate "fsync=off". The former is very useful, exactly what we needed on a database application I was developing. The latter I can't see a benefit to using. I'm interested now as to how it's implemented -- which APIs and what assumptions of the filesystem it makes. And therefore whether SQLite would be capable of something similar.

If it exists in SQLite (I can't find it) then it needs promoting and using more.

In general my interactions with SQLite have been good, but its ubiquity seems to be spreading a little plague of disk chatter and bottleneck effects on I/O. It's anecdotal, but a lot of the pauses on my Android phone seem like they might be rooted in this, too.

Yeah, it is like people care about this when they literally can't hear a person on the other side because of fans. Without hardware support all this codecs are useless on mobile.

As you go up the pay scale they actually try and move your base down towards 90k.
I don't think it's unethical or exploitative to pay someone $500k to sit on a beach and relax for a year.

Generally, that's not how non-competes work in the US. They are typically unpaid. WA just changed their laws. CA mostly outlaws them all together. Most other states allow them.

You're also possibly arguing for a position of higher power as an employee than is typical. Most employees don't have the luxury of forgoing offers based on contract language that HR promises won't be enforced (until it is).
Of course in the case of Rust this would mean potentially one type per function being added to your implementation. That’s a lot of boilerplate for a problem which is solved really well by defaultable named parameters
For context: I am Black.

I think it’s a pipeline problem. How many Blacks are graduating from top schools in STEM? I didn’t graduate from a top school at all. But that was back in the mid 90s and by choice. I just needed a degree. I knew I could get a job and be competitive with anyone being self taught in both C and a variety of assembly languages.

I just got a job at Amazon under AWS Professional Services. I got a customer facing role as a Black guy. If there were going to be discrimination, that would be where it would be. Because of Covid, the interview was completely virtual. I’m coming from a long 25 year career of working for mostly small companies that no one has ever heard of. All of my AWS experience came from a company with less than 50 people.

I can honestly say that I don’t think I have ever been discriminated against in hiring. I have had maybe 3 rejections in 25 years, plenty of interviews and since I only use recruiters, my resume doesn’t go through the ATS black hole.

At most 10% of the HN community is in the Bay Area, last I ran the numbers.

People in the Bay Area are extremely aware of BLM, police reform, and related issues.

There's no reason to believe that interest in China-related topics is coming more from the Bay Area than elsewhere.

Interest in these topics is not about local demographics.

JAMstack pillars all fullstack developers need to know about
I eat normal meals. No snacking. Before I started IF I was actually obese. I couldn't walk a mile without breaking into a sweat and being out of breath. I now have a six pack year round and have done for the almost ten years I've been doing this. So I think I'm qualified to offer some further advice:

* Limit your meals to two meals a day. Absolutely no snacking between meals. Make sure your last meal is it such a time that you won't go to bed hungry. But if you're hungry during the day, just wait until your next meal (lunch or dinner),

* Be mindful when you eat. The French are great at this. Don't eat for sustenance. Eat for pleasure. The object of eating isn't to get calories down your throat as quickly as you can. Enjoy the aroma of the food in your nose and the feel of it on your tongue. Don't load up your fork with the next bite while still chewing. If your food is too bland to enjoy this way, learn to cook French cuisine,

* Weigh your carbs carefully. Pasta, rice, potato etc. should all be weighed every time. Do not do it by eye. Your eye will cheat you. Do not rely on your satiation reflex because carbs won't trigger it,

* Do not be afraid of fat. Note the amount of fat in French cuisine. Fat is nice, but your body will automatically regulate your intake. Butter is delicious but nobody wants to eat a whole stick of it.

* Don't drink calories. Drink water, tea and coffee. Especially avoid beer, red wine, soft drinks and sweet cocktails. If possible, stop drinking alcoholic and soft drinks completely,

* Exercise discipline and restraint in the supermarket. Never go to the supermarket while fasted. Do not stock ready-to-eat food in your house. All food should be prepared before eating, and you should only prepare the amount that you plan to eat,

* Learn to relish hunger. Hunger is completely normal and something you are supposed to feel. Observe how fat people eat the moment they feel hunger. Remind yourself that you don't want to be one of them. If you feel hunger, just be safe in the knowledge that your next meal is planned and ready for you to prepare,

* Most importantly, find something that works for you. The first month should be discipline. After that it should become natural. If it feels like you want this new way of life to end at some point, revise your strategy. This should be easy. It's for the rest of your life.

Doesn't the net CO2 in the air increase?

So you harvest CO2 to into fuel. That fuel is burned and the CO2 is released back into the air. So net difference is zero.

But to harvest the CO2 you needed to generate a high amount of heat. That's extra CO2. So net CO2 is more.

It depends on the cost of harvesting that CO2.

> You've made the massive leap that the words blacklist/whitelist are microaggressions.

It isn't a massive leap. Kermit A. Crawford, Ph.D talks about these specific terms and that they are microagressions in this presentation: https://www.appic.org/Portals/0/2018%20Conference/APPIC%2020....

You can find sources going all the way back to the 1970s talking about these terms and how they relate to racism. It's only a massive leap if you have not done the homework and if you have not talked to black colleagues in our industry about what they consider to be microagressions.

> Not to mention the science of microaggressions is not even remotely settled.

You are moving the goal posts. You said you don't care to "have newspeak forced on me without real evidence". Then when presented with scholarly studies and real evidence of psychological damage, you claim the evidence is not good enough.

P vs NP is more about verifying correctness of a solution compared to the hardness of finding a good one. I don’t think interpolation/extrapolation fits very well.

However, what fits better is understanding existing ideas and verifying they indeed solve a problem, compared to the hardness of finding a “best solution” to a given problem. This is still only a rough parallel. You are right that many (probably most) complexity theorists believe that hardness separation in this case is a fundamental principle reflective of real life.

> shocking to me how lobbying is legal in the US.

Lobbying is legal in most (all?) of Europe too. It's a slippery activity to pin down, not amenable to banning because it consists of nominally innocuous activities. You can put degrees of limitation on activities that reduce what you'd call lobbying, but I don't see how you could make it fully illegal.

WAL mode can help large part of the fsync issues, but it does break the "one file" niceties SQLite has. If you don't care about losing some recent commits, WAL is definitely the way to go: https://www.sqlite.org/wal.html

I would also say that WAL has been receiving improvements from what I can see. For example, 3 years ago, you cannot open a WAL mode SQLite file in read-only mode, but now you can since 3.22.0.

A powerful Idea about Ideas (Alan Kay, 2007)
The stats on black/white/Asian college achievement makes for an uncomfortable discussion. It's okay to suggest that systemic racism is why black people don't participate in college as much as you'd expect based on their prevalence in society, but it's also okay to say that the reason Asians are over-represented is because culturally they've made it a huge priority to attain as much education as possible.

Maybe we should focus less on trying to identify and somehow solve systemic racism and more about making it culturally acceptable and desirable for black people to enter the STEM fields. Highlight the superstars in STEM who are kicking ass (e.g. Neil deGrasse Tyson) and encouraging people to identify with him and motivate them to work even harder.

I'm implying no such thing. There's no gene for basketball, just as there's no gene for engineering. Yet, certain populations excel at one or the other. Aptitude arises out of cultural and socioeconomic factors. Clearly, science and engineering are not strong factors in some populations' culture and lifestyle. Whereas, it is a lifestyle from an early age for hundreds of millions of whites and Asians, mostly boys. There could be a genetic component but such has not been proven.

I've found that Xcode's performance with autocomplete, highlighting, etc with Swift depends on how you write Swift. Here's how I generally keep Xcode/SourceKit happy:

- Limit interaction between Swift and Obj-C wherever practically possible. Swift headers for Obj-C functions are autogenerated by the compiler, which can act as a bottleneck depending on how much Obj-C is in your project, how often that Obj-C changes, and how often you clean the project.

- Avoid nesting closures deeper than 2 levels (probably good advice anyway).

- Explicitly state types where possible to avoid inference.

- Avoid excessively long chains of optionals and/or casts.

So generally, try to keep code clean and explicit, and when choosing dependencies opt for pure Swift options where viable. Avoid adding new Obj-C code except where needed (e.g. C++ interop) and if possible reduce Obj-C in the project to small, seldom changing bits.
It is best called "walletscaling." To run anything at scale you are looking at reserved capacity and provisioned throughput. Add extra fees for DynamoDB Accelerator (query caching), Global Tables (cross region replication), backups charged per GB, etc.

Most of the required addons aren't in the "cloud model" where you pay for usage, but instead you pay to have them on regardless of usage.

IANAL. But, for example, in some jurisdictions you can write in the contract that all over time is already compensated with your salary. As long as the salary is significantly above market pay there won't be any issues. If you pay market rate and the employee is regularly pulling 60h work weeks, you are setting yourself up for big liability issues.
