We have a job for you:

Ok, let's just cut through the common you'll mostly read in job descriptions. Something about being innovative and challenging. Having a motivated team and "real" startup atmosphere. What does this even mean? USB rocket wars in the office? And nope, you will definitely not change the world! I'm writing this because we need help. And you're reading this because you either need a job, or are bored in your current job, which leads us back to the first point. You need a job.

Assimilation means the next generation won't be willing to fight the the memories of a HK half a world and century away.

But it doesn't mean they are forgetting about their ancestors struggle or their heritage either.

not because of some special cultural quality

It could easily transcribed as education, no need to imply cultural patronzing.
To win what? This is not a contest or even a debate where one point of view may prevail... we're just expressing our opinions about Vim and its alternatives here. Obviously, if you like Vim, great! But it seems to me you're the emotional one if you find it necessary to question anyone pointing out they believe Vim is not a good tool at all (it promotes modals, which should have died as soon as they became unnecessary due to hardware improvements as they are objectively harder to use) and wondering why it's still somewhat popular.
There are many anecdotal reports of tyrannical Wikipedia editors doing exactly this. They claim dominion over a subset of Wikipedia articles and then manicure them exactly to their own personal tastes. I'm sure the situation you describe happens often in various corners of the website.
The problem is with how facebook amplifies messages. By showing you the posts you're most likely to engage with, Facebook encourages polarization. In normal society, if you hold a hateful, minority opinion like deeply racist beliefs, you're more likely to be presented the majority opinion. Facebook allows you to disappear into a world where you only are exposed to people that agree with you.
It's becoming increasingly clear that "hate" is a dog-whistle for "not explicitly left-wing". Which is unfortunate, because yet another useful word is being stripped of meaning.
> do care about things like culture fit and company vision.

And you know this from a job post in a job board/website how?

This is what I mean. A no-name company can't say 'we want people to be motivated to work with us' when 99.99% of the world have no clue what they do/how they work.

If you are Uber, or Microsoft, 37 Signals, or even Doctors Without Borders you know in general their motives/how they work (from the 2389472309 blog posts). But 5 employee start ups? Or a consulting firm that does client work for companies you never heard from? Really?

> If you paid high performing knowledge workers a million dollars a month to do soul-crushing stressful grind work in a bad environment, those people are still going to quit after a short period of time

Maybe being from different country shows my bias, but even with a lot of friends in the USA, most don't change jobs for lower paid positions. There is even a term for it: 'Golden Handcuffs'
Duh. Of course. Should get coffee before reading HN. ;)

That's like saying "why are there so many shell scripts?" Make is a generalized scripting environment.

So in one project you might have a target that builds an app, a bunch of rules that generate manpages, another that puts it in /usr/local, another that code signs, another that uploads to some app store.

Hyperapp only makes sense if you want to write immutable, purely functional SPAs in JavaScript. There's no Web API or native abstraction for that. And if your site was only content, then I'd say why even bother with JavaScript.
>They hope that if they wasted you 6-10 hours of your time before an actual offer then you'd make a decision based on the sunk cost fallacy

You might be overthinking this. I doubt many companies really have this viewpoint for the simple fact that falling for this is a trait of a bad employee. You don't want to actively select your employees based on their flawed decision making process.
naming is hard... so the background on this is that the book was originally called "Cracking the Coding Career" for the alliteration and for the mirror with "Cracking the Coding Interview". I nearly even shipped with that name - until Gayle McDowell got in touch and said this would break her trademark. So I had to tweak it. I considered maybe a dozen other names but believe it or not they were worse :(
the US government intentionally gives away money with no strings attached for R&D. The explicit purpose of this funding is to help companies make products and profit. If the outcome you want is different, we need to look at different research vehicles.

This section of your WaPo article hits the nail on the head:

>“Without incentivizing some of these companies to stay attached to emerging disease, I think they will walk away, even after this one,” he said. “In this situation [filing for a government patent] would have caused more harm with Gilead and not been worth it.
“The government’s job is to make sure industry is successful, and if industry is successful, then we all benefit from it.” “Although USAMRIID performed extensive and critical screening and testing for Gilead, testing a compound and finding that it is indeed an effective antiviral compound does not qualify USAMRIID as a joint inventor of the compound,” Leigh Callander, chief patent counsel for the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command, said in an email.
> Facebook's userbase is a mirror of human society

Facebook's userbase is not a mirror, it literally is human society.

> if you want to fix Facebook fix society first

If facebook is one of the many negative influences upon society, it'd make sense to fix it, along with many other issues.

Now in terms of prioritizing which problems ought to take priority - I'd not put facebook on the top of my list.
Hi HN! I am a co-founder, excited to launch HyperFormula: our open-source, TypeScript engine for performing complex calculations in web apps.

HyperFormula supports CRUD operations, undo and redo, clipboard operations, and much, much more. Think of it as of the calculation engine behind Excel, but without Excel.

The library is agnostic towards user interface ("headless"). It can power data grids, smart documents, e-learning tools, you name it.

Check out the demo [1] to see it in action. (Note: the UI is not part of the project.)

We’d love to know what you think!

It still exists in 2020. People who live in cities at least don't face it directly - its always indirect, implicit, subtle and ruthless.

People who live in Tier-2, Tier-3 cities and in villages / panchayats - the caste based discrimination is very obvious and explicit. People wear their (upper) caste as a badge of honor all the while discriminating lower caste people openly with no consequences, although the Indian constitution considers all citizens equal.
Which macOS are you running? After Mavericks it seemed to pile on a bit of chug IMO. They need to do an optimization-only release again.
Understanding the math and understanding the importance of the mathematical concept are two different things.

Personally, div and curl didn't quite click for me until I took fluid dynamics in my final year. I could do the homework but didn't really get why they were useful until it made sense why "div = 0 always for incompressible fluids".
Perhaps because Tesla is less bloated? Buying shares in an old big corporation feels like hiring the Vogon bureaucrats while investing in Tesla and SpaceX seems like paying young smart people for getting up-to-date things done.

Answer: Yes
Risk free trials are a terrible experience. If the customer just wants to demo the app, why should they have to remember to log into their Apple account and cancel the trial?

With saas offerings, I won’t even sign up for a trial if it requires billing information from me.

Congratulations, you've just violated the brand-new HK National Security Law, which according to article 38 applies to everyone on Earth.
The whole reason for getting Canadian citizenship is for the day that China engulfs HK and they want to leave. China isn't going to restrict the movement of hundreds of thousands of foreigners legally living in HK.

Aren't most "shareholders" actually index funds or pensions at this point? The effects of wiping out such a large chunk of stock all at once would be felt pretty widely.
>By and large, I believe this is due to the “absolute” nature of our current social strife. Take the question:

>> Why can’t I be anti-vaccine and pro-choice?

> You would suspect everyone would agree that we “own” our bodies. If that were true, then you would effectively have to be pro-choice AND support people’s right to choose what to put in their bodies;

That's only true if you believe that ownership of something means you are the sole determiner of what can or cannot be done with it, regardless of how that affects others.

One could agree that we "own" our bodies but still be in favor of mandatory vaccination of people who do not have a medical reason to avoid it on the grounds that losing herd immunity could cause widespread harm.

Similarly, one could agree with body ownership but be anti-abortion because they believe that the fetus is a person and being aborted harms that person.

For most things short of actual slavery, the body ownership argument is pretty weak. It really just sets the default rule for cases where there are no other people involved, but once you get societies more complex than very small isolated groups of people there are almost always other people involved.
In a way they don't benefit from hate. How many people here quit fb because of politics and toxic communities?

Technologies: Broadly, frontend, CS degree and experience in basically every language. Typescript, JavaScript, and everything top to bottom on the stack from React, React Native to backend node. Swift, SwiftUI and iOS apps. Have built ML models from scratch and deployed them in production. I’m a designer specialized on brand - built out many brands top to bottom from logo to website, etc. Comfortable in an assortment of backend tech as well, have set up many backend services with docker, graphql, etc.

Résumé/CV: Not online, see https://tryorbit.com for some of my design and frontend talent (though it’s unfinished on mobile and overall, and built on a custom UI stack that’s quite intense + Framer Motion). I am probably the best all around person for (design * frontend * speed/output) you’ll find.

Email: See profile.

Long time developer, I’ve really specialized at the intersection of building performant and large scale apps on the frontend on time and with exceptional intuition for UX and architecture, not limited to just the web either (Swift and SwiftUI are a passion). I’ve started many companies, raised our last one through Founders Fund as the CTO and had success rolling it out at several companies.

Looking for PART TIME work. Really you should use me as a consultant to bootstrap your next stack. We have a lot of valuable tech we’ve built over the years.

Currently, my business partner and I have retooled our last stack to be a sort of “ultimate bootstrap” for a React Native + SwiftUI. We have a complete stack: Kubernetes, Rio, Hasura, a monorepo fully scripted and CI integrated with Github Actions. On the frontend gqless which we have found to be a miracle and flat out superior to Apollo Graphql in every way. We’ve spent many months getting Typescript and the monorepo to behave well.

And the coolest piece: a UI kit that takes react-native-web and puts a SwiftUI-like component set together (think: VStack, HStack), with a custom static extraction plugin that optimizes everything, even pre evaluating many things such that your final React components barely do any work at all.

Basically - if you want to put together or upgrade your frontend on React Native or want help putting together a SwiftUI app, you may not do better.

We are looking to extend our runway but not in a rush to deliver our product, so my goal is to take a couple days a week and put it towards your needs. Happy to chat more via email.
Some people are satisfied with the modal editing paradigm of Vim that they don't need its advanced features.
It looks more modern. That seems to be the only optimization target.
I don't know about the App Store in particular, but the approach of most companies in Quebec is to simply not have free trials. (e.g. and to have the fist 13 months of service cost the same as the first 12 months of service in other locales.)
If only there was a way to track the number of seconds they spent on pinterest until the back button was hit and... factor that in as a feature in ML. voila.

Official denials are actually confirmations.
Also, if you donate no-strings grants and services, you are not a investor in the traditional sense. You are providing charity.
Aren't the cosmic rays polarized due to earth's magnetic field? (if so-- wouldn't field reversals have swapped it?)
I had to Google it to confirm but Nick Clegg is the same guy who was the Deputy Prime Minister of the UK under David Cameron. I'm super curious about how that came to be -- what skillsets and talents a former Deputy Prime Minister of the UK provides to a company like Facebook.
Sure it was founded in HongKong but at that time it's purpose was to facilitate trade and banking between the UK and mainland China. My point is that they still have lots of these relations up to this day.
Here is another way to look at it:

$ while sleep 2; do make -s build; done

What files are interesting is already encoded in your Makefile and make is pretty good at figuring out if a given file changed or not so, instead of duplicating efforts, run make every second or two and let it figure out what needs to be done.

It won't eat your memory or pool of file pointers and your CPU will barely feel it.
Been wondering if FB and other socials could move away from engagement volume-based advertising.

Perhaps "low max # ads a day" kind of thing.

It would hurt revenues, to be sure, but seems that Facebook already has outsized revenues per employee count. And certainly, Zuck's share valuation is a bit on the high (and possibly unsustainable) end.
I don't like extra forwarding tables, as it imposes a huge cache hit.

Forward pointers are only needed during a GC, so they very rare. Usually a compacting GC tags the forwarding ptr as normal heap ptr, and just checks if it needs to be forwarded or not. There are always at least 2 lower bits free and one is enough. It's just one extra redirection and needs no extra forwarding table lookup.

Also the extra table is pretty big. So not low memory overhead, rather largish.
This answer is super spot on, and this will be the story of our lives for a while.
The UK is physically large enough that everyone on Earth actually could live there with a reasonable amount of space to themselves. The issue would be feeding everyone, since even now the UK needs to import its food, and it's not clear who would grow it if literally everyone lived in Britain. But because of how markets work, as more people moved to the UK, prices would go up and people would have more incentive to stay in their own country where they could grow food for export.

Also, if it's population you're concerned about, shouldn't you also worry about people having babies?
Is this the reason why my Indian colleagues never reveal their last name?
Did he say there’s no differential? Solid read axle? That could be hard to turn on non dirt surfaces?
Nice graphs. And kudos for putting it out there
well, yes, if you have a market moving trade, you'll have to pay a premium for it to be executed. MM are not there to give money away.

Similarly, if your house is on fire, it is hard to complain that buyers go away until they can evaluate how much the hashes are worth.

Market makers mostly provide a service for retail investors.
>Facebook does not profit from hate. Billions of people use Facebook and Instagram because they have good experiences

I'm fairly sure that the racists, Nazis, conspiracy theorists and pedofiles are have a great experience communicating with like minded people on Facebooks platforms.

More interestingly I very excited to see if companies like Coca Cola, Lego and Verizon will see any change in sales after boycotting Facebook for 30 days. If their sales remain largely unaffected it will change the whole premise for a large number of companies and challenge the existence many "online ad agencies", which do little more than manage social media accounts.
> I'd like to point out that this is a 180 from Zuckerberg's "arbiter of truth" position from before the advertiser boycotts

Not necessarily. You can hold both views and be consistent. Lot of people accuse Facebook that it's keeping Trump's content for money (i.e. it increases engagement). In that context, sentence "There is no incentive for us to do anything but remove it." is trying to refute. And that would be consistent with FB not wanting to be "arbiter of truth", and keeping "newsworthy" content.
> Perhaps because Tesla is less bloated?

Is that simply a perception you think many might investors have? Tesla has lost money every year, while Toyota has showed substantial profit. Without knowing anything else about these companies, an outside observer might think Tesla was the "bloated" of the two.
Will Programmers Become Obsolete Because of AI?
I think most people accurately assume that not many Hong Kong citizens will come, and none of the focus of recent anti-immigrant sentiment has been on ethnic Chinese people.
If I were doing this, and it looks like a load of fun anyway, I'd start with go-kart frame designed for a lawnmower engine. You'd get a roll cage, 5 point seatbelt, brakes, hand controls for throttle. Just add batteries, electric motor, and electronics. Like this one:
