> Think highlight rather than promote. Think shared experience rather than shared interest. No, not identical experience, but think overlapping parts of a venn diagram. A relevant example in that overlap, assumed criminality, is mentioned in the very comment you are replying to.

How much shared experience does a professional class recent immigrant from Asia actually have with a working class African-American? For very many of the former, the "assumed criminality" is largely a non-issue. (Even the example mentioned in quadrifoliate's comment was presented as an exception rather than the norm.)

And, might not recent immigrants from Asian countries have shared experiences in common with immigrants from Europe? quadrifoliate mentioned experiencing stupid jokes about his perceived culture, but dumb ethnic jokes and stereotypes are something that European-descended ethnic minorities have to put up with too. At school, my half-Italian friend had to put up with jokes about his dad being in the mafia; there is a long tradition of jokes presenting Irish people as stupid; etc. Yet the Italians/Irish/Greeks/etc who have to put up with these dumb jokes and stereotypes are not classified as "people of color", while the same experience had by an Asian person is put forward as justification for classifying them as such.

> Do you have a similar issue with the LGBT framing?

Yes. To give just one example, a number of lesbian feminists have criticised that framing as over-emphasising the commonality of interests between gay men and lesbian women and under-emphasising the extent to which their interests conflict with each other. see e.g. https://we.riseup.net/assets/168538/Sheila%20Jeffreys%20The%...
A similar ruling did work to increase browser diversity in Europe with the ballot. I wouldn't argue that the US's wrist slap is evidence that anti-trust is worthless. Consider if Standard Oil, company towns, or child labor were still common in the US. Without regulation it's possible we'd still live in that nightmare once called 'normal'.

I don't read ZeroHedge, but what you've just said is why I read Hacker News -;)
It’s not Google’s money, it’s advertisers money. Advertisers do not want to pay for their ads on the websites with unacceptable content and trust Google to do the moderation. Because the advertisement may even have a negative effect for them when published on certain websites.

There are advertising networks (like those used on porn sites for an extreme example) which have weaker rules, but the websites get smaller profits.

What if those barriers kicked in at some number, e.g. 5,000 users. Once you are dealing with a big enough crowd, you better be able to protect that data, no matter who you are (imo).
My only java experience was in college nearly two decades ago, so I def don’t have a valid opinion on Go vs Java. I’ve worked with dozens of former Java devs that were now working in Go. The majority felt it was a breath of fresh air and did not want to return to Java in the future. Granted that was not all of them. The plural of anecdote is not data, so I’d be interested in a larger poll to know how folks feel who have experienced both.
Practically all traders read Zerohedge. It's larded with fringe shit for sure, but it's an invaluable source of information if you're involved in any kind of active trading. First place I heard about COVID was ZH.

I have found that the fragility in white fragility exists more commonly than merely racism. Racism, though, I imagine is clearly more identifiable and insulting, but the offending behaviors apply more widely than that. It comes down to assumptions and insecurities.

I really do get tired of dealing with this as a self taught white software developer. People have an expectation of how things should work and when that expectation is shattered or when it puts their reputation in question everything there after becomes defensive or a straw man. This is so prevalent and frustrating that I prefer to write software only as a hobby, discuss software in exceedingly delicate terms, and often desire to hide from it all by returning to the military (military is a part-time secondary employer for me). After a certain point this defensiveness and insecurity defines everything about the work.

As an example try to mention you are writing some fantastic new application that executes in the browser. The very first question, always, is what framework does it use. If the answer is none people have already stopped listening or begin attacking either your credibility or the capabilities of the application. So I have had to learn to tip toe around these sorts of conversations but it completely ignores the problem/solution aspect of the software which should be the center of conversation.
Time to change the definition to oligopoly then
I completely disagree, at least when it comes to my surroundings.

In 2016, the vast majority of recruitment offers I received were Angular, or jQuery/javascript. And while HN (thankfully) was all about React and whatnot, this situation continued for a good few years. Angular was the safe choice which I guess the PM's wouldn't get fired for. I remember many, many conversations with various recruiters where I told them I refused to do Angular projects, but I'd love to work on a React or even 'vanilla' JS project.

I'd say that after React became 'standard' on HN (around the time Vue popped up I suppose?), it took at least 2 years before I started getting emails and calls from people looking for React work.

Currently hoping this will happen with Elixir but not getting my hopes up :). Still, not having this sword of damocles hanging over my head that 'maybe I should learn Angular' is real nice.

This is an absolutely fabulous idea, great job.

Some observations:

* I chose 'Berlin' and when I selected the 'street noise' it played music. Viewing the video, I see the YouTube video has music rather than street sounds, so selecting videos that have actual street sounds might be good.

* I would like a 'night' mode where I can toggle whether I'm driving around in the day or night. Bonus points for different weather (I would prefer rain or overcast personally).

* It would be great to have a 360/VR video to be able to scroll around or use in VR.

Do you run into any licensing issues with the radio or video? I didn't see any free/libre licenses on the YouTube videos so presumably you're a take-down notice away from not being able to use these videos.

Speaking to the lifetime of each major version—Bootstrap 4 can't go into any kind of LTS situation until v5 is fully stable. That's going to take a few months just being honest, so I fully expect v4 to be around into 2021.

We've also maintained security patches and more for v3 where appropriate well past the LTS for the web's sake. While we try to have guidelines around it, we want to help move things forward for the web :).
It wasn't in many places even until 2018 at least. HN isn't the real world.

None of those platforms (Tesla, Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo, Samsung TV, Sony Camera) are general purpose computers. Your phone is a general purpose computer.

For all of Google's faults, and there are many, it is still to this day possible to install any software I want on my Android phone. I recognize that in the wrong hands this can go wrong, but there should always be an escape hatch, even if that escape hatch is buried under a hundred "Warning what you are doing could be insecure" dialogs (and they should be).

That being said, things aren't all peachy on the Android side: My understanding is that third party app stores for instance rely on the user's phone being configured to accept code from unknown sources -- instead it should be possible to acquire a Store in a safe and secure way, and delegate to that store the ability to install software from that store, without requiring Unknown Sources to be on. Maybe this has changed recently, I hope someone will pipe up to correct me if it has!
I don't understand how you make the conclusion that the money must go to private jobs? Can't the municipality reallocate the funds and spend it elsewhere in the public sector?
Where do you live? I have no idea what it's like to be Jewish but I have Jewish friends and have had Jewish bosses. I couldn't tell them apart from any other white people in the area. If they hadn't told me they were Jewish I'd never have known nor cared. I certainly didn't treat them different.

At what point are we all just different? I can't meet people that are into my particular hobby. I also go to clubs and bars from time to time and never feel like "these are my people". Even going to game dev events (since I do game dev) a rarely feel like "these are my people".
I'd actually expect this to be the opposite. Insurance is heavily risk analysis based. It sounds like they were choosing to take the risks because either you didn't show them properly, or you don't realize how cheap the actuated cost of non compliance is.

Wifi's latency has a high dispersion. I've seen absolutely terrible wifi latency, and latency that is under 1ms. wifi degrades gracefully, which makes it really tough to work with.

But pretty much all serious gamers use an ethernet connection because wifi is a pain in the ass. In fact, the first thing a support representative for any game will tell you when complaining about excessive lag is to try a wired connection.

Reading into the details, the rationale was because Zerohedge allegedly failed to manage their comment section to Google's standards for what other companies do. In a parliamentary system, if you want to know what a government is doing, you listen to the opposition. They are almost always a bunch of clowns slinging mud, but when it sticks, they are miles ahead of the courtiers who populate the press gallery and newsrooms. ZH is one of the fastest news reaction sites on the web, with no pretense of objectivity other than as a reliable opposition party to the sanctimonious tone that has come to characterize the recent mainstream.

I haven't seen that comment section in years, but it was so terrible it looked like people trying to plant things in it to discredit the site. ZH itself has always been farcically provocative, and at least %90 useless, but when they get it right, they really get it right. They are also to financial literacy for younger generations what punk was to music. This reflects more on Google (and previously, Twitter) and whoever else piles on than it does on ZH.

As someone who has worked in finance and specifically a trading floor - i can confirm that it is widely read by traders/market-makers/risk-takers in those spaces.

It's not that those people are inherently bearish or expect the world and financial markets to "go to zero"; but they understand that informed decisions and fair market pricing arises from a matrix of ideas. Zero hedge takes an extreme starting point for most of its commentary/coverage but as long as you know that slant exists it can become a useful input into thinking about the "bear scenario" or the "tail scenario". Knowing that it has reached a critical mass and that other traders read it - it becomes a harder to ignore point of information.
oh wow, i am just getting my feet wet so thanks for saying. i am basically just ignoring iOS for now and am able to run my unsigned apps fine on the mac without me having to open a developer account.

that's such a let-down!

You aren't wrong.

The aerospace sector has a long history of getting subsidized through either government help or military contracts. That's been true for Airbus, Boeing, Lockheed, Embraer. It's a strategic choice and investment that the Canadian government simply wasn't willing to make.
There is a consumer harm when Apple Music doesn't have to pay 30% cut to App Store while Spotify and the likes have to. That's a huge competitive advantage to Apple. Not to mention Apple can simply advertise their own Apple Music Subscription inside the default Music app and gain market share just like Internet Explorer did.

Not really the same thing, for two big of reasons:

1) Getting your Mozilla extension signed is free, but you have to pay just to develop an iOS app

2) You can install unsigned extensions on nightly and developer builds, which seems perfectly reasonable. Stable and secure for the general public, bleeding edge + customizable for those who care.
Right, so they're trying to censor users on third party sites now. This is when you know that Google needs to get broken up as they have too much power and are too willing to use it.
There must be some way to do it. I'm running an extension I wrote on my Firefox. Up to date and all. The extension is on the "store", but the edition I have installed isn't, and it's definitely not signed.
I’m not saying anything about the cause, just positing that since there are known biological differences that are extremely significant, such as when it comes to aggression, it seems strange to categorically rule out the possibility of a much milder difference in preferences when it comes to fields of study or work.
I agree that we will see all of those, except the last one. It's no surprise that we're bending around, that's normal. But when we get back to the "feature parity with the past" things will still look very different. We're talking about fully managed systems here that you can compose together to get parity with what you have today with unmanaged systems.

I also don't think the time limit on lambdas will extend much further than it is today. Not sure on that one.
The parent comment is not asking whether or not Apple has a monopoly. The question is whether or not Apple's behavior is anticompetitive, which, incidentally, is exactly the question the law asks.

Perhaps because of the Microsoft case and its incredibly high profile, there is an extremely widespread misconception that the scope of antitrust law is limited to monopolies as Microsoft had in the 1990s. This is false.

If you're not familiar with the difference between the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 and the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914, the former is the one that deals with monopolies. The latter, however, deals with a variety of anticompetitive practices that do not require a monopoly, such as predatory pricing.

Being one of the world's few trillion-dollar companies, Apple has wagered, successfully thus far, that no one will challenge its practices in court. Perhaps if Basecamp can rally Spotify and Netflix together, that will change.
I started college in 1997 so can give some insights of what it was like in the late 90s

- Unless you were a larger firm or project, version control was something you never even heard of

- A lot of the internet was still being put together

- Perl was a big deal and a LOT of it was bad e.g. "use strict" was almost never used so you could use variables willy nilly

- The Joel Test was yet to be written (5 years out roughly) and people were scoring low on the test then

- The only exposure to Linux was generally when you were in college unless you were hardcore. Otherwise, everything was windows. E.g. I remember installing Slackware from a CD that came with a giant book and then thinking: "What do I do now?"

- Java was the new hotness and Rutgers (my school) was the first major university to offer it for there 101 (actually RU CS first class was 111 b/c 101 was "business computing").

- There was no Google, Stack Overflow etc. You were lucky if people like Jeremy Zawodny happened to write a blog post about the weird Perl + MySql bug you were running into and/or if your local book store had Databases for Dummies

It really is amazing to me now to see how MASSIVE frameworks for JavaScript come out every year and the whole ecosystem spasms. Perl CGI was the de facto way to write web stuff for almost a decade. In fact LAMP used to mean "Linux Apache Mysql Perl" until php came along and even then giant website were still written in Perl e.g. Amazon, IMDB etc
Oh yeah, the Unprofessional Assholes out of Venture Capital Matters Movement. It's taking the world by storm.
Unsure how we'll tackle this overall, but we are looking at increased customization and variants for a handful of key components. This might be a mistake, and if so, we'll hope to hear it in the alphas so we can shift gears and do dark mode across the framework. That said, it could be too far reaching and mean it'd come in v6.
With XML, the schemas don't have to be external - if you're designing the format, you can accommodate for embedded XSD (i.e. the schema is inline, and references itself).
HoTT isn't a programming language, because there are non-value normal forms. That's the whole reason behind research into various formulations of Cubical Type Theory, which is a programming language.
>Your phone is a general purpose computer.

This might be a useful distinction but it isn't for the law. There's no particular requirement that "general purpose computers" behave in a certain way.

I dislike having to write a separate front-end and back-end and worry about APIs and JWTs and security and Redux and multiple servers coupled with isomorphic React being more pain than it's worth when I could just as easily not use React.

I'd use React on every project if I could run it like a Rails front-end instead of needing to write distinct server and client side applications.

We got artisanal humour from Don Hopkins. I'm OK with this outcome. My first introduction was: http://www.art.net/~hopkins/Don/unix-haters/x-windows/disast...
"An analysis accomplished after the Challenger accident showed that the IBM-developed PASS software had a latent defect rate of just 0.11 errors per 1,000 lines of code—for all intents and purposes, it was considered error-free. But this remarkable achievement did not come easily or cheap. In an industry where the average line of code cost the government (at the time of the report) approximately $50 (written, documented, and tested), the Primary Avionics System Software cost NASA slightly over $1,000 per line."

Apple (via the app store) has never charged for physical goods and services only virtual (bits) - e.g. ebooks, game coins, etc.

I'm not disagreeing per se, but at least in the Elixir community I get the impression that using Dialyzer (the wonderfully cryptic TS-ish gradual typing solution) and typespecs is increasingly advised and there's a thirst for a better solution. But static typing comes up a lot.

We're doing fine without, but it's definitely a sore point and I'm one of those developers who has become more and more fond of static typing.
