What I'd really like to see is another manufacturer launching an FPGA that uses the same bitstream format (and hence the same general architecture) as the iCE40 or ECP5 series.

Then we'd have a proper open platform! Remember the "good old days" when chips were second-sourced? (And third- and fourth- sourced for the really popular ones: Intel's 8086/8088 come to mind here.)
The topic was specifically Marxists in Western democracies today.

Again, I am not a fan of hard core authoritarian Marxism and would be concerned if these people had real power or larger numbers and serious funding. I was simply pointing out that as of today they are few, lack funding or serious organization, and seem to advocate and enact violence much less often than the extreme right. They can be just as trollish though, I'll give them that.

BTW /r/ChapoTrapHouse was also banned for advocacy of violence and trolling/brigading.

Paying by card is common, paying using a Credit Card not necessarily. I'm French and I'm semi-ashamed to admit that when at a store abroad the clerk asked me "debit or credit?" for payment I had to ask him to explain to me what this quaint exotic incantation meant.

When I finally understood how that system worked I also finally understood this weird trope in American movies where a character has a half a dozen credit cards in their wallet, and they burn through those as if it were free money for some reason. That never made any sense to me up until that point.
I suppose you could extend that all the way back past the practice of voting... ultimately democratic voting isn't as good as some kind of scalable deliberative consensus mechanism that educates people, but we don't have one of those. But anyway, there's also a lot of misinformation out there about voting methods. For instance, most sources say that all Condorcet methods are flawed, but that's because they conflate Condorcet counting with the various tie-breaking methods when there are cycles. The latter can be flawed, but the former is not. If there's a Condorcet winner, it doesn't run afoul of Arrow's theorem or anything. The main "flaw" with a Condorcet winner is that you can have a Condorcet winner without that candidate having "majority approval", depending on how you measure "approval".
Oh good, HNers are now openly going full boogaloo.

>In college there were basically no women in any of my classes, like 1 or 2 in a class of 30-40

In high school, about half my AP CS class was girls, I think.

Maybe it's not so much that "an entire gender" is disinterested but that there was a tidal wave of people who wanted to get into programming after 2000 who were mostly male and changed the culture? And a lot of people, who were good at other things besides computers, said yuck and did something else.

It's easy to assume that when a group dominates a field that they must be better on average at the required skills, but it could be more a result of their lack of other skills.

>they are particularly prone to strategic voting and manipulation?

IRV and AV are particularly prone to strategic voting. Amusingly, the best catalog of IRV's failures is generally provided by AV proponents, and the best catalog of AV problems can be found on FairVote.org.

The ranked-choice systems which satisfy a criterion called ISDA -- independence of Smith-dominated alternatives, or more poignantly, independence of losers -- are harder to manipulate. These are all "Condorcet" methods, because ISDA is a generalization of Condorcet.

ISDA means roughly that if a candidate is not in contention to win (the "Smith set"), it doesn't matter where they appear on your ballot. I could rank Vermin Supreme and Ron Paul #1 and #2 and the algorithm basically cancels it out and starts me at #3. The reason that ISDA is so effective at preventing strategic voting is that in order to vote strategically, I have to misrank a candidate who might actually win; in other words, I must accept a realistic risk of encouraging an outcome I don't really want. That's a pretty good disincentive, in my opinion.

However, the worry about strategic voting seems to be at least a little overblown. Australia does deal with "how-to-vote" cards[1], but this is a way to prevent "allied" parties from accidentally competing with each other. In 2009, there was concern over a monotonicity violation in Australian elections where supporters of one of the parties were encouraged to misrank another party. However, the voters didn't go along with the plan, and instead voted honestly:

Neat trick. Some websites don't even bother giving you any choice for traditional username/password input though.
I think it's fairly naive to say build times get long "only if you mess with the type system" whatever that means. It's pretty easy to tank your compile/edit/debug cycle just by adding or removing things to a header file. Maybe modules will improve things.

I've worked in C++ code bases with just a few 100k loc where one starts architecting the software to avoid long compile times. Think about how insane that is, you choose to write and structure code differently as punishment for the sin of writing new code. Not to improve the software performance or add new features.

The worst example of this is the pimpl pattern. You make th explicit choice to trade off compile times to hide everything behind a pointer dereference that is almost guaranteed to be opaque to the compiler, even after LTO, so the only "inlining" you may see is from the branch predictor on a user's machine. That's bonkers!
Criminals using deadly force against police probably have intimidation/escape as their goal, not murder. But from the perspective of the police officer, you can't wait to find out. When a police officer starts to shoot, he has essentially made the decision to keep shooting until the threat ends.
Correct, but if you want to buy something, you don't owe them anything yet.

However, if you stole the thing and were ordered by the court to pay restitution, they would have to accept cash for that.
It was a third hand file with a lot of packages and the content was quite different, so perhaps there was a good reason in the original file that was lost in the minimization or perhaps the problem is that sometimes people prefer to reuse a few environments for all the possible constructions.

About the first cell: IIUC You can determine the color by the row, the column or by the individual cell, so the color is recalculated in each cell. For some reason, it fails in the first cell. I'm still curious.
> This may seem like a trivial exercise, but consider how non-welcome a person with conservative political interests would be not only on HN, but in the tech industry as a whole.

And here is a bit of a paradox. Not only are "conservative" (right wing) views marginalized here, but so are many leftist ideas that aren't one of HN's pet topics (UBI, land value tax, etc.)

You simply cannot criticize capitalism or the "free market" here without expecting downvotes. You can't talk about things that, for instance, the Soviet Union did right (e.g. going from an agrarian country of peasants to an industrial power in under 50 years) among all the wrongs it committed (gulags, the Holodomor, etc). The same, I suspect, for China, Cuba, Venezuela, or any other country that isn't the US and to which the US has not "brought democracy." Speaking of "bringing democracy," I strongly suspect that serious discussion of Western imperialism is off the table, as well. And, let's not even think about the US's broken immigration system.

On the world political scale, none of these things are remotely controversial. You can consistently say all of them, while holding a center-left ideology in basically all of Europe.

I don't particularly think having a "safe space" is all that productive, but I would appreciate if some of these topics got a little bit of lively and reasoned debate. Instead, people just mash that downvote button, which frustrates me to no end.

I've accepted that by pointing these things out, I end up losing a few fake internet points, and I'm okay with that. I'm so far about the downvote/flag threshold that it doesn't matter. But, I don't like it.
Yeah, I'm sure this has nothing to do with them killing Indian soldiers. it's sad how this is more bigger news than that.
Citing Maven also feels a bit circular. It's an important Java application, but being a build tool it's only because there's lots of Java out there to build.

Minecraft and a lot of the other apps are terminally impressive, so it's easier to justify the ecosystem that produced them.
Test-Driven Development with Phoenix [WIP]
I tried Quibi and I did not even finish the free trial. The reason being, is that it doesn't know what it is. Quibi was great for short shows that are made in short format... but it wanted me to watch a long show in a short format - which it just means that now instead of watching one episode for 30 mins I need to watch 6 episodes for 5 mins.

I also think their timing was an issue.. because with this pandemic people have more time to watch shows, long shows, movies, and I honestly don't think many people would pick Quibi when there are so many more options with so much more content.

I actually kind of agree with this: Patreon is indeed a good way to earn enough money to buy dinner once a week or whatever. I guess it's also good for big time influencer types who are in growth mode and not worrying about their overhead. I just think it's a mediocre solution if what you want is to create a stable, predictable, and mature small business out of your work.

I totally appreciated Patreon when I was starting out; it just really sucked to scale on, and switching to a more legit system was somewhat painful.

Your post is a symptom of the problem. If you can't read a paragraph like that without experiencing an emotional reaction and a need to hide it from yourself and others, it is you who is immature and should stay out of discussion forums, not the other poster. No rude words were used; the hide comment button is right there if you'd like to close it and the tree stemming from it and move on.

Posts like your own really strike me as having essentially the emotional maturity of a small child - if you don't like something, you want to hit it, or cry to an authority to hit it for you. Actually engaging with the comment, or having the strength to accept that people post stuff you don't like and moving on, are obviously just a little bit too difficult for some folks.
Others might want HN to be open to tough issues.

I know this is controversial, but it's hard (perhaps impossible) to discuss something controversial without either:

1. adopting groupthink/wrongthink patterns
2. making some group uncomfortable
3. limiting the topics that can be discussed

This seems like a vast generalization based solely on media (social and traditional). The companies running these platforms have a lot to gain by scaring you while maintaining business as usual.

At my school, generally you would enroll in ~3-5 classes per semester. One or two of those classes would be your "main focus" for the semester, and then you might try to fill a breadth or take something that interests you. You would have a week or two at the beginning before your schedule is fixed to move around classes. So you're not dropping out - you're swapping an Intro to Programming class for something you think you'd get more value out of.
I've dropped classes ~45 minutes in to the first lecture because I just... didn't need to take it and wasn't enjoying the professor speak.
We run dev environments and some staging entirely inside Kubernetes, but in prod we run all of our stateful components outside K8s (generally using things like RDS and ElastiCache).

Anecdotally, keeping stateful components outside of K8s makes running your cluster and application so much simpler and it is much easier to maintain and troubleshoot. The burden is increased configuration friction though, so often you don't want to do it for your ephemeral deployments (eg. dev environments, integrated test runners, temporary staging instances).

You can use tools like kustomize to keep your configuration as clean as possible for each deployment type. Only bring in the configurations for the stateful services when needed.

I feel like this is the "right" way for smaller teams to do K8s, assuming it's already a good fit for the application.
There's a lot of reading you can do about why RICO isn't routinely deployed against ideological white supremacist organizations (including those that refer to themselves as "KKK").

This is one of the reasons I generally stopped paying attention to the cryptocurrency world.

It is hard to read this response being written on the platform (YCombinator forums - HN) that is designed to disrupt established monopologies, duopolies; which is poised to cut through the decades of crud piled up in every imaginable industry, and offer a new perspective; a bold, fundamental rethinking of everything from quantum computers to wind energy, from payment services to logistics; despite of the existing competition, bureaucratic barriers and red tape, government mandates, political turbulence and geopolitical forces, vendor lock-ins and exclusive contracts, entrenched and exploitative practices, despite massive open market on an international scale and allowing anyone from any country to participate and compete.
Yes and so are the philosophies of the extents to which freedom of expression has limits. See John Stuart Mill, Joel Feinberg, Thomas Hobbes. Not even John Locke supported universal toleration, although in his case he wanted to silence atheists. Not enough? How about Herbert Marcuse:

Universal toleration becomes questionable when its rationale no longer prevails, when tolerance is
administered to manipulated and indoctrinated individuals who parrot, as their own, the opinion of
their masters, for whom heteronomy has become autonomy.

I believe in freedom of expression, I do not believe in or advocate, however, universal tolerance for expressions on private forums. You wish to make a statement, do so on your own. It is the right of the platform to be able to moderate such contents as posted if they desire, its their platform.

True, but I find it amusing that none of that even mattered and the community was persistent enough to build an entire architecture, database and IRC bot solely for deobfuscating the source of Minecraft anyways. So long as nobody would get sued for it, it was still possible from a technical standpoint, so the motivated people did it anyways.

And now it seems that Twitch and other "official" entities have conceded to the fact that modding was really the only reason so many people play Minecraft at all and they integrated installing mods into their official launcher. Server hosting for Minecraft is a legitimate business since you'd need enough RAM and single-core performance for mods also, so they advertise "mod-capable" hosting plans.

On top of that the entire decompiled and deobfuscated source of Minecraft 1.22 is sitting on GitHub to search through.

The sheer extent of modding capability that Java enabled caused this weird conflict between the interests of the parties wanting to retain the intellectual property of the game through obfuscation while at the same time admitting that people undoing it and using the source themselves for modding is never going to go away, and trying to forcefully get rid of it for the sake of this legitimacy anyways brings no benefit and would only anger and drive away the audience who already comes to expect mods. And then some group would probably just hack together some unsanctioned server/client package from the JARs that are already widespread and keep playing the old versions forever, since they'd still want to play modded Minecraft anyways, and there's no reason the whims of a few corporations ought to invalidate the past several years of modded Minecraft experience they've lived through already. At least it's a better case for modding than purely competitive games since a lot of Minecraft is about construction.

Sometimes I think that the only games that will truly last for the ages where new things are still being created and discovered regularly are the ones whose source code is in the control of the players, and they aren't actively poached for "stealing" in an attempt to extract a few more dollars per person. That, and the playerbase being motivated enough to keep developing content for them. It seems Minecraft is one of those few games as of present.
