basically they wanted smart people amenable to debate and not be corrupted by a foreign nation to pick a president that doesn't have the nation's best interest at heart. or a vile person.

considering they do not do that anymore and vote based on popular vote per state it's a vestigial tail of our democracy. also, considering they were supposed to not cap the number of house of representative members and the delegates were based on this number also means that it's corrupted even more so than it was.

A contract is interpreted against its drafter.[1] I don’t know if or how this legal doctrine applies to sovereign governments, however. The government and its representatives are immune to certain kinds of legal interference, which this kind of legalistic spelling dispute may be be considered to be.

To quote the old Java saying, saying "write once, run everywhere" is a selling point of Java is like saying anal sex is great because it works on all genders. Like... maybe, but it's not really the point.

You couldn't use VSCode on Linux, but you could use any of several much better editors, and effectively double your RAM to boot.

>(Also, isn't Visual Studio a native app, and hot garbage compared to VSCode? I've never used it, but that's what I hear.)

Back when I used Windows as a dev platform, years and years ago, Visual Studio was quite pleasant. The experience of that back in the day is much better than the experiences I had with VSCode more recently.

But both of them are terrible compared to the native development environment of Linux.

Well, with TU 144 and Buran, the copying situation is rather interesting - both were substantially different that the Concorde and Space Shuttle. But the main copy aspect was that the politburo saw a cool thing and told the engineeres - we want THAT - NOW, get going on it or else.
"The response was private so he shared publicly because it's relevant info for the community."

Made me feel very positive to see this comment in the replies, thank you! It was very difficult to focus the discussion on Twitter to why the engineer would feel sharing publicly was necessary in the first place, despite potentially losing their job.

There's a WWDC app for every platform, except for the Mac.

After all the fuss over Project Catalyst/Marzipan last WWDC, it does not inspire confidence if you cannot even bother to port this to Mac.

Just an observation, it doesn't matter to me personally.
But do you actually acknowledge them? I think this is fine if you're taking it to heart and actually internalizing the discussion a bit. Otherwise, it's disingenuous.

Edit: this is very basic EQ and active listening, not sure why it's controversial to have good social skills.
I can't tell if these comments are just people not reading the article or a gross characterization. Can we get @dang in here? All that is being discussed is the MAXIMUM penalty as if it is the standard. In HN we're supposed to respond to the article accurately. So here's some quotes.

>> Wang provided information that he was, in fact, still currently a “Level 9” technician in the PLA, employed by a military university lab. CBP officers also obtained information that this roughly corresponded with the level of Major, and that Wang had received compensation from the PLA and the China Scholarship Council—in addition to compensation from UCSF—while in the United States.

>> Also according to court documents, Wang provided information to CBP that he had been instructed by his supervisor, the director of his military university lab in the PRC, to observe the layout of the UCSF lab and bring back information on how to replicate it in China.

>> Wang also wiped his personal phone of WeChat messaging content earlier the morning he arrived at LAX.

TLDR: Wang was a major in the Chinese Army, being paid by them while going to UCSF and was sending information back to China.
That's almost freakish. Better to offer a quality of life than lets employees have families.
I agree that it's effectively impossible to distinguish between the two and that any stance on the issue is going to be driven by politics; my comment was just an objection to the claim that it is a "wildly implausible conspiracy theory" that the virus was accidentally released.
When I gave a demo of Kaleida ScriptX DreamScape at WWDC in 1995, the rule was that if your demo crashed, you had to do push-ups. Is that still the case?

My improvisational demo briefly came off the rails and froze up for a few seconds while I was switching between Netscape, Director, WebStar, BBEdit, and ScriptX, it had an attrotious frame rate, and butt-ugly programmer graphics, my screen fell in at the 6:00 mark, then a butterfly hijacked control of the presentation, and an insane rube-golbergesque robot went out of control, started bouncing around the screen, and broke apart into pieces, but it never actually crashed!

HN is not a uniform group of people speaking with one voice. It's a group of different people with different opinions on different subjects who speak up at different times.

> The average non-technical person isn't installing unsigned software on Mac or Windows

False. The average non-technical person is installing unsigned software from Steam and other cross-platform game stores.

In fact, the vast majority of all PC/Mac users play games downloaded from Steam and similar stores, not from the Microsoft/Apple stores.

> the average person isn't using Linux at all so it's not worth considering in this conversation.

The average gamer isn’t using Mac at all either (4% vs. 1% according to Steam), so I guess it is "not worth considering in this conversation" either.

Which leaves us with Windows. So porting to the browser is irrelevant since all games are played in a single platform, according to your own logic.
It's not "widely implausible" that the virus in Wuhan could come from the P4 lab in Wuhan that studied those viruses.

In fact, I would say it's "likely". If you see a nuclear leak somewhere, it's not a "widely implausible conspiracy theory" to think it might come from the nuclear power plant in that same area.

> borderline harassment

Possibly personal opinion here, but given the current charged (understatement) political environment and twitter's propensity for "scarlet lettering" people via mob harassment, I don't think this was borderline. This seems like a deliberate attempt to get a large group of people to harass a co-worker because of differing opinions about how and when to communicate political opinions.

Faith doesn't matter in an argument.

This is a purely logical discussion. If you sell ads, it means you are an ads company. The degree to which you sell ads doesn't factor in to that.

I can argue that apple monopolized ads on iOS devices by disabling cookies on safari and removing the targeting capabilities on ad-identifiers. Now the only way to have targeted ads is through the app store. Hope this satisfies your arbitrary 'it should be a monopoly before i discuss it' argument.
> If they were arrested then statistically speaking they are far more likely than the average person to be criminals.

That was never the comparison - the bit you didn't quote was "than those who had bailed out for the same crimes". According to your argument, they are _also_ more likely than the average person to be criminals, yet we bail them out.

The application was over a year and a half ago. Wang may simply have forgotten what lies he told on the application.

It also seems to be implied that not all the information that contradicted the visa application came from an interview. Specifically it is implied that CPB knew he was being paid by organizations in China via another source.

That's a pretty gross way of looking at the world.
Assuming no mitigating circumstances for not speaking out, it literally is acceptance and tacit perpetuation of the status quo which is most certainly political.

I'm not saying there were no mitigating circumstances nor condoning the person's behavior but they are clearly correct on that specific point.

rule #1: never give developers production secrets. That way they wont be able to misuse them or push them to the repo. From my experience devs only care whether their software works, security is often an afterthought.

rule #2: its not only secrets management, the whole stack should go through security hardening and regular security review.

So I have both the 4gb pi and the 2gb one. The 4gb pi does a pretty decent job at basic browsing, but Youtube doesn't really work. VLC videos with certain encodings and filesizes work, others don't. I can infer that the 8gb pi is better, but I would probably not use it as a daily driver.
In my house, we've been buying costco-brand (Kirkland) walnuts in mega-bulk from amazon for at least a year, and we've not yet encountered issues with their quality.

Trader Joe's has decent nuts, but their prices are not competitive when you buy in bulk.

Walnuts, in my opinion at least, don't vary in flavor that much (compared to almonds for example). So... walnuts are walnuts: always buy the cheapest! :)
If you want genuine don't ask people questions where the answer can give them negative backlash at work.

If you are using a computer as a professional tool why wouldn't you put in the effort to customize it? It's mostly a one-time cost and lasts a lifetime. It's like using a stock car as a race car.
Supposedly our companies and organizations should look like the community. For diversity. Unless the community happens to be mostly white males, then diversity means showing underrepresented groups instead of what the community looks like.
That point in your edit is actually a pretty big deal. We're already in a situation where a majority of the Senate represents less than 20% of the country's population. Some people will (correctly) retort that the Senate was never intended to be popular in the way you used the word, but -- just like the Electoral College -- the significant concentration of population in urban areas is something that the founders almost certainly didn't foresee.

While "mob rule" may be an unfair term, not only did more people vote for the Democratic presidential candidate in 2016, there have been more votes cast for Democrats than Republicans as a whole not only in Senate races over the last decade but in House races, too -- the Republican majority there is protected by gerrymandering.
Defection gone wrong?
More money doesn't mean good web app though. Most big websites ironically google's doesn't follow their own accessibility, speed, UX, UI, inclusiveness etc guidelines they recommend for getting into search results.

They are also the biggest abuser of UA agent while chromium team is trying to get rid of it. There are so many things they get wrong that they preach or push themselves.

Also, there are technical limitations especially around tracking lol. Web apps can't run processes in the background or access your files without your consent everytime.
Maybe the workplace should stop spending millions of dollars a quarter on political lobbying, then.
> Every platform except the Mac

You make it sound like there are apps for Windows, Linux, and Android, and anything else. There's just an iOS app, and it's there because the WWDC app for iOS has been there for years, especially useful in a physical conference where you're bringing your mobile device with you.

For real computers, a website is just fine. And they probably don't care much about Android anyway.

But in the meantime, given the choice of phantom reads or G2-item, I think I'd pick blocking phantom reads.

Well... it's not quite so straightforward. SI still allows some phantoms. It only prohibits some of them.

In PostgreSQL's case, if they somehow made repeatable read to prevent G2-item without sacrificing the phantom reads, would that mean repeatable read is then "serializable" according to the ANSI definition?

I'm not quite sure I follow--If you're asking whether snapshot isolation (Postgres "Repeatable Read") plus preventing G2-item is serializable, the answer is no--that model would still allow G2 in general--specifically, cycles involving non-adjacent rw dependencies with predicates.
So why build an app? iOS/iPadOS users have Safari too.
It had a very rocky start in the .NET Core world thanks to Microsoft's lack of interest in supporting F#. It lagged behind C# in significant ways and continues to get very few resources behind it.
No one's making a threat. But any sociologist will tell you that if you put people in an awful situation, you'll sometimes drive awful behavior.
If the developer isn't providing upgrades then they shouldn't keep getting paid for a product someone already bought. If the argument is that developers need _regular_ pay days then we have dedicated financial instruments for smoothing an irregular cash flow.

In any case, subscriptions aren't directly equivalent to upgrade pricing even when an upgrade is provided every subscription period because in an upgrade pricing model the end user can always choose to stop paying and continue to use software they already bought.
Chromebooks have been running ARM forever, so Google already has their platform ARM-ready. In fact, I'd even say ChromeOS is more of a complete desktop suite than any ARM project Microsoft has undertaken as of yet, mostly because of the web-first style of development Google follows.
On a normal bicycle when you lean off the vertical axis, a compensation is made by turning the front wheel towards the "inside" of the lean thus bringing the bicycle again closer to the vertical. i.e. the bicycle (with the help of your steering input) turns the front wheel to catch your fall. If you lean without steering you will simply fall over to the side immediately! Don't try to do this by the way =)

This is the same principle of balancing an upright broom vertically, handle first, on the palm of your hand. When the broom falls out of balance, you simply move your hand in the same direction to recover the center of balance. A bicycle is balanced by exactly the same principle.

> Just go buy a finished product from a store

Not that you're wrong about the rest, but we can't actually do this; there are no stores that will sell you a working smartphone or smartphone-based tablet. (That is, with compiler, shell, kernel- and driver-patching, etc that constitute a operating system.)
It's not equalizing political influence between states (that is, bringing them into equality), just bringing them somewhat away from inequality. (Also, states don't have equal land area, it's more like political districts.) The electoral college gives votes as a linear combination of "per political district" and "per people", with 435/538 = 80.8% being "per people".

Also, I guess it's the fact of "winner takes all within a state" that disincentivizes candidates from simply drumming up more support within states they've already won, more so than the distribution of votes per state.
WWDC has actually been very good in terms of not being just straight white and male.

The first is obviously kind of meaningless - presenters aren't standard up and announcing their orientation at the beginning of each session.

But if you actually do watch there are numerous PoC and woman in the sessions.

Is it a flawless representation of the real world? no, while apple may have better stats than other tech companies, that's still a super low bar.

Even once people accept that there is a problem, meaningfully changing the diversity of a large company takes time because you the large existing set of employees will swamp the overall company stats for many years.

use mission control to create "spaces" (workspace)

see

System Preferences -> Mission Control

to make sure you have a key or mouse button mapped to invoke mission control.

invoke mission control and press the (+) sign in the upper right hand corner to get the number of spaces you'd like

You can switch between spaces using keys defined in

System Preferences -> Keyboard -> [Shortcuts]

choose mission control on the left and map they keys you like. I use option-1 .. option-8 (aka alt-1 .. alt-8) to switch to specific spaces.

(I'm not using catalina, for all I know apple has removed spaces because it's not something an appliance should have)
