It's a combination of the two factors. If a group of people want to one up each other by refactoring their side projects to be as woke as possible, that's fine by me. But if they're doing it and causing breakages and/or forcing everyone else to adapt, that's where I draw the line.

>A vendor changing something like this is par for the course, right? Why such an extreme reaction?

I'd be similarly pissed off if an upstream API provider suddenly decided to change all their identifier names for stylistic purposes. eg. the CTO woke up one day and decided that all of their API endpoints should be changed from camel case to snake case.
By then the Javascript-heavy pages will probably be even heavier. You'll then be waiting for the Raspberry Pi 6 to run them.
Thanks appreciate the heads up! I reached out to HN and they verified my account. Always ever been a lurker and made an account today. You were spot on about why they were getting caught in the filter.

I fail to see how the claim is ridiculous.
It disproportionately effects men because it's much more acceptable for a lower status women who is at least somewhat physically attractive to set up shop in a higher status man's life than vice versa.

Furthermore men value youth far more than women do so a only moderately physically gifted 20 year old might be valued over her counterpart a dozen years older and twice as well off herself.

Young poor females are in a much better position to leverage their looks and youth.

Basically men pick boobs and youth and men pick status and ability to support and you have somehow identified the women as the parties making an irrational choice and labeled this hypergamy.
Yes, there is continuity of abusive behavior in relationship. In general, close family members and dependent people gets to experience that most. Note that this is not exclusive to male abuse, female abuse exists too and is more likely to happen to dependents and family.

If you see sex as only proof of being accepted (as opposed to friendships and other social contacts), then I can see how it eases anxiety. It does not sound as if woman in question was important here.

If it is about physical aspect, prostitution sounds like fair way to solve it. If it is about philosophical or social aspect, making self worth less dependent on sex would help there.

The worth given by woman when having sex is however only illusion. Women deciding on having sex with you or not is not actually deciding on your worth. The range of reasons for sex varry quite a lot, from positive to negative, from emotional to practical or to physical or just routine. But actual decision making is not scoring of worth.

Bankrupt Hertz wants to sell $1B in new shares
The accounts in question are essentially acting as money transmitters, intermediaries between the people with money and the court/jail they are trying to get the money to.

One thing though is I don't think Hasbro bought just Death Row Records. They bought the parent company that owned Death Row Records among other record labels.
A much smaller scale but same problem. I for a holiday years ago received an iPod from two different relatives. My parents bought me one earlier that year so although appreciated I didn't want to offend family and try to ask for a receipt or return them. Therefore I opted for selling them via eBay. As an eBay small volume seller with 100% positive rating, I posted 2 iPods, sold and shipped to payer.

My account funds were frozen and paypal requested proof of purchase. At this point as a poor high school student I was flabbergasted they could withhold my money for no reason.

I reached out to both relatives, explained what happened and told them about the receipt paypal requested. Both send me a copy of the receipt which I supplied. Paypal rejected the receipts (I forget the reason) and told me they were not going to release the funds.

I determined they could only hold it for 6 months (I don't remember the legal reasons here). Therefore, I parked my account paypal account, 6 months later took my money and never looked back.
Sometimes they use "partners" or "regulations" as scapegoats.

For example, PayPal's implementation of OFAC blacklisting is a braindead loose string match on ANY field that therefore has a huge false positive rate.

Compliance with OFAC is mandatory. Doing it in a stupid way is not.

He's studied multiple plagues, so knows what the outcomes were.

His comment about corona is that somehow society allowed medical science to be the only voice, when there are equally important societal and economic impacts not being considered.

(Somehow can be interpreted to mean "in an election year.")

To me, that's a more important message than what an epidemiologist says in isolation.

I'm guessing that the result of lockdown will be that more years of life were lost to cardio problems (no exercise) than corona itself. In developing countries, there already is starvation.

Disclaimer: I've used D for an enormous time, and I tried Rust for about one hour for the experience.

Remarks:

- build times are worse in Rust, but not _that_ much worse

- with Rust error messages are plentiful and helpful to solve the error. It is a designed user experience, which is quite novel.

- the first Rust program I built downloaded no less than 146 packages, which seems to indicate the standard library is very barebones. This was an example program. So the granularity of package seems to be smaller there. I don't really like this.

- Rust has quite visibly a stronger open-source ecosystem, with lots of crates being built before a compiler release. Good.

- Rust documentation is more aimed at beginner programmers, and there is more of it.

- I just don't like to look at Rust code at all... the styling on the car is really bad

- it seems dub and cargo are very similar. Cargo download and installs a lot more cruft inside directories. Probably there is a way to have a shared directory for that.

- Rust libraries look a bit more systematically modular with the features tags ("configurations" in DUB parlance)

- it seems Rust has comparatively more C bindings than C-to-D translations in the ecosystem (vs D)

So... I'm not sure I would take Rust if starting a codebase today.
It just doesn't add up for me versus D.

I try to be someone practical and need actual measurable improvements in the daily practice.

For me the key take-away is the very consistent experience when interfacing with Rust tools, since this experience has been designed and fine-tuned to be easy. I think D can learn some UX tricks from it.

Perhaps high bandwidth costs deter undesirable customers or usecases? A slight restatement of your idea. Just speculation.
I would guess the tricky thing with bikes are all the similar looking metal bars at different angles. It’s hard to perceive the overall shape of the bike and remember how the pieces are connected.

So maybe other similar things that are assembled from several parts would be hard: a folding chair, a pair of scissors, a suspension bridge, the Eiffel Tower, a catapult, etc.

I used to spend a lot of time on the commode or in the tub reading and thinking. Now I prefer to have more blood and air pumping for thinking, it's better.

The answer to your question is simply “envy”.
I'm not surprised by rhe reuslt. Another commenter said:

> async I/O is faster because it avoids context switches and amortizes kernel crossings

I think this is widely believed, but it's not particularly true for async I/O (of the coroutine kind meant by async/await in Python, NodeJS and other languages, rather than POSIX AIO).

With non-blocking-based async I/O, there are often more system calls for the same amount of I/O, compared with threaded I/O, and rarely fewer calls. It depends on the pattern of I/O how much more.

Consider: with async I/O, non-blocking read() on a socket will return -EAGAIN sometimes, then you need a second read() to get the data later, and a bit more overhead for epoll or similar. Even for files and recent syscalls like preadv2(...RWF_NOWAIT), there are at least two system calls if the file is not already in cache.

Whereas, threaded I/O usually does one system call for the same results. So one blocking read() on a socket to get the same data as the example above, one blocking preadv() to get the same file data.

Every system call is two user<->kernel transitions (entry, exit). The number of these transitions is one of the things we're talking about reducing with async/await style userspace scheduling.

Threaded I/O puts all context switches in kernel space, but these add zero user<->kernel transitions, because all the context switches happen inside an existing I/O system call.

Another way of looking at it, is async replaces every kernelspace context switche with a kernel entry/exit transition pair instead, plus a userspace context switch.

So the question becomes: Does the speed of userspace context switches plus kernel entry/exit costs for extra I/O system calls compare favourably against kernel context switches which add no extra kernel entry/exit costs.

If the kernel scheduler is fast inside the kernel, and kernel entry/exit is slow, this favours threaded I/O. If the kernel scheduler is slow even inside the kernel (which it certainly used to be in Linux!), and kernel entry/exit for I/O system calls is fast, it favours async.

This is despite userspace scheduling and context switching usually being extremely fast if done sensibly.

Everything above applies to async I/O versus threaded I/O and counting user<->kernel transitions, assuming them to be a significant cost factor.

The argument doesn't apply to async that is not being used for I/O. Non-I/O async/await is fairly common in some applictions, so that tilts the balance to userspace scheduling, but nothing precludes using a mix of scheduling methods. In fact doing blocking I/O in threads, "off to the side" of an async userspace scheduler is a common pattern.

It also doesn't apply when I/O is done without system calls. For example memory-mapped I/O to a device. Or if the program has threads communicating directly without entering the kernel. io_uring is based on this principle, and so are other mechanisms used for communicating among parallel tasks purely in userspace using shared memory, lock-free structures (urcu etc) and ringbuffers.

I'm 34, mostly worked in R&D and startups, 10+ years as software dev. Last company was founding CTO, and was grateful to tap a 57 year old former coworker as first dev hire. He's still super sharp and has stayed up to date with his skills. He wasn't always the fastest. But he made so many fewer bugs and architecture mistakes that it didn't matter.

A question – is the problem with police, or is the problem with US police specifically? Do we have the same problem with police in other countries? Canadian police? UK police? Police in EU countries?

If the US police have this problem and other (wealthy democratic) countries don't – or even if comparable countries have the problem too, just not quite as bad as the US has it – what makes US police different?

Racism and racial inequality. Yes, that's very real, but don't think for a moment other countries don't have that problem too – they do. But yes, historically speaking, the US was very much an outlier of extreme racism – few other countries ever had anything comparable to "Jim Crow laws", and the most obvious comparators (apartheid in South Africa and the Nuremberg Laws in Nazi Germany) are not what the US really wants to be compared to. On the other hand, my personal impression is that contemporary Americans are (on average) actually much more highly committed to anti-racism than people in most other countries are.

Could there be other relevant factors causing problems unique to US police? I think, everyone is (quite rightly) focused on the racial inequality issue, but could there be other causes which might be less deeply entrenched and quicker to fix? Easy short-term wins?

(My thought: US has more independent law enforcement agencies than any other country on earth – force all the smaller ones to merge – bigger police forces tend to have a more professional culture, and a smaller number of big police forces is easier for the media/NGOs/etc to hold to account than a larger number of small ones.)
Hasbro owns Death Row because it bought another entertainment conglomerate with lots of natural-fit-for-Hasbro properties that happened to also own Death Row.
That's not really how theory works; the claim isn't that this is the single and sole determinant of civil unrest. This Atlantic article[1] looks more broadly at the effect of the young male subpopulation's size on unrest, this[2] paper references the mitigating effect of family formation on individual crime rate, this[3] one both covers unrest due to low family formation (generally through the mechanism of uneven sex ratios, given how out of favor polygamy currently is), as well as effects on individual crime.

That being said, this little excursion into Google turned up some nascent evidence that this historical dynamic is shifting. The modern world is very odd in lots of different ways: wealth, recreational opportunities, the incredibly wide social circles one's exposed to. It's entirely possible that this dynamic has changed, but the research hasn't caught up yet.

I didn't say that they were all irrelevant, only that they are distracting when trying to read the textual content.

It's possible to do non-looping or at least pauseable either by using a video file (like most "gifs" online do these days) or using JS.

Either way, having stuff move around right next to text you want people to focus on is generally not a good idea.

While I agree that very strange and possibly "psychedelic" things can be written without using psychedelics or other means of attaining altered states of consciousness, particularly if one is mentally ill, I'm not convinced the 2000 year old works the article you link to discusses weren't themselves influenced by access to some altered state of consciousness, perhaps through psychedelics.

Psychedelics and other means of altering consciousness have been used throughout human (and possibly even pre-human) history. In reference to the link you cited, there has been evidence that cannabis, which can have psychedelic effects at high doses, was used in ritual contexts in biblical times in ancient Israel. Here is a recent article discussing some new evidence of this:

Still not loving police.
Not being facetious: I suggest you read the book. It discusses precisely these objections.

I should say also the only reason I read this book was because I liked the author's other books which have nothing to do with mathematics. Before reading it I thought "man who gives a shit about philosophy of mathematics? can we just do some real math please?", but this book changed my mind about that.

Also: I agree that traditional mathematics is useful. I trust that FLT true (not to mention it's an awesome achievement). And I even trust that proofs which make heavy use of concepts I find philosophically dubious will almost always turn out to still hold when placed under the "right" sort of foundations.

There are some exceptions to this though. For example, I absolutely don't trust stuff like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banach%E2%80%93Tarski_paradox

By "don't trust", I mean I seriously doubt there is anything at all out there in the universe (or in the metaphysically possible universe) that behaves like this. Instead, it's just a logical result which leans heavily on some problematic mathematical assumptions which were never actually justified. It should be taken as a reductio ad absurdem that something went wrong with the inputs (or at least evidence as such). 100+ years ago, people spent time wrestling with the foundations of math, but now it's looked down upon as a waste of time/not "serious" math, etc.
I have seen a fair amount of successful transitions. My company develops open source software and our development team is on Linux/Mac. Works a treat.

Agreed. Bail should be either automatically granted, or not granted at all. Charging for it just helps to ruin the lives of the people already disadvantaged.
That's not up to the prison. The only way for a convict to leave prison early is to convince the State that they are worth paroling.

Therefore, the prison would be incentivized to work with the prisoners to encourage good behavior and to show the parole board that a prisoner is worth paroling.

There's not a lot of difference in gameplay, but CSGO destroyed the sense of community and enabled toxic players. Prior to CSGO, there was a vibrant community of player-hosted servers, run by clans. The best of them had active admins who would kick/ban cheaters, trolls, and toxic people. It was hard to find good community servers, but once you did, it felt like home. It's much easier to get into a match now, due to the automatic matchmaking and different playstyle and skill grouping options, but the communities are gone. You can still run a private server, but hardly anyone does. I used to be in a half-dozen clans and now I'm in zero.
The Single Most Important Thing You Need to Know About Vegan Food
It all depends on the business and business model. For instance, I worked in a classroom app. We had a few goals per quarter but let's just see a couple. For instance, one goal at a certain point was to create all these new lesson types. However, some were clearly more important than others (the ones which were used in almost every lesson was more important than one that's used in a couple. For bigger lesson types there may be more than one issue. For instance, being able to select a single option in a multiple choice lesson can be done before the feature to allow multiple selection and things like that.

Another goal that would frequently appear is paying tech debt. Some changes are also more important than other in that track.

All this work has business value and may be part of the BAU of a established business. I think you're describing a business in a very primordial state. Although, even in startups I've created having a list of things we wanted to do was helpful. We saw our competition we wanted to do better, but we also need to catch up. Lots of things are just obvious and not all the work one does is revolutionary. I don't disagree that changes do occur, though.

I think you missed the point the parent comment was making.

Obviously "finance guy" would not only breed other "finance guys". However if the society consumes a majority of its productive members without insuring their reproduction, then they'll be selected against.

> 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?)

That's such a weird position and obviously made by someone who doesn't understand evolution, so I'm not sure why you're bringing it here. It's the equivalent of saying that diseases/cancer/handicaps couldn't exist because "evolution". That is not what parent is talking about when underlying the risks of hindering reproduction for a whole class of citizens.
