"Sure, but the point is that if people who want you to lose your job are screaming about you on twitter, it's bad advice to apologise in an attempt to appease them- because the twitter mob won't be happy till you're in the ground."

I haven't personally observed this nor have I witnessed studies about it. Could you link to me anything like that? I've seen people who have credibly discussed their abuses on twitter and people apologize. Criticism of the apologies are often 1) it is incomplete, 2) it is a non-apology, 3) it has not be followed up with action.

I haven't myself seen criticism outside of these things, which are valid critiques and not the sort of overdramatic spectacle you're describing. But I think it's valid that I just am in different circles than you, so I'm curious if you could educate me about this.

(Additionally, the legal system is inadequate to address nuanced power structures. Rape, sexual assault, and being a creep are extremely hard to gain redress for, and often make victims blacklisted from the industry. Why are we concerned about the careers of people who do bad things, and not concerns about the careers of people who are their victims? The victims often struggle to find work or are completely blacklisted from their industry.)

>Do they really think this is beneficial for everyone in the long run

Do you really think that politicians are concerned about "everyone's benefits"? I think they do not give a flying f..k about it. They're being lobbied by big corps and then after their terms they get cushy jobs in the same corps. Joe/Jane Does are only remembered at the time of the vote.
What, Aramaic? The Vulgate? Wycliffes?
Exactly. The vast majority of sites that store text and simple images are perfectly readable without javascript, and the experience is much, much better. In some rare cases, the site does not load at all, and I do not bother to switch javascript on, unless I am really interested in that particular site.

Being a fan of the default browser styles I contend your observation that "bare" sites look uglier. In fact, having a consistent visual style across sites becomes rather agreeable, instead of allowing each site to set up its style.
Ah yes, let’s have our designers write code for bug fixes. Good thought.
I also want to point out that a respiratory virus's #1 (or perhaps only) means of transmission is via the airways, I don't think it's reasonable to expect even licking your fingers would result in an infection.

I'm open to proof or hints of proof in that direction, I just don't see it ATM, based on what I've read on contagion events.
Finally Apple has come to its senses! This flatness was like the touchbar.

People forget but the reason this minimalist design travesty happened was political: Steve Jobs was no longer around, he had fired Scott Forstall because of the bungled Maps fiasco, and he promoted Jony Ive, the hardware minimalist who wanted to Bauhaus all the things.

This is what I wrote in 2016, if Steve Jobs still ran Apple: https://magarshak.com/blog/?p=234

Look, we may not need skeumorphism, but we need shadows. We need to know what is part of the chrome interface and what’s part of the documents. When I was a kid I joined the Apple Human Interface developers usenet group (anyone remember those?) They used to be religiously against hidden modes (interface modes which could not be discovered and navigated to by straightforward visual inspection). Apple computers used to be easy to use for precisely guidelines like these, which they proudly published. Heck, they even proudly touted the small size of their phones for ease of access, which I agreed with:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Af0gtsjfy7E

They became hypocrites and trend-followers when they abandoned all these things. Microsoft started the flat trend (and Woz praised them for it). Android phones became “phablets” (which Steve Jobs derided). Apple became a follower and didn’t even bother remembering what they claimed was the best way, just a year earlier.

But then again, of course, Apple always did this even under Steve - claiming RISC processors were far better and next year claiming Intel was better after they switched. Claiming they invented the Omnibox in Safari years after Chrome did.

But at least I am happy to see some of Apple’s original DNA coming back.
Wouldn't it be awesome if copyright kills religion due to a lack of holy books? This is quite hilarious, some of the oldest books in the world and their translations are subject to something invented more than a millenium later. I'm sure Zondervan never peeked at earlier translations during their 'creation'. In the beginning (C) Zondervan.
This is why Firefox's reader view is so vital nowadays. There are very few websites for which reader view doesn't improve readability, and quite a few that are completely unusable without it. At least on my phone.

I'm thinking, for example, of the RCL, which often breaks passages mid chapter and occasionally omits individual verses. What sort of Christian community do you mostly know?

If you said "The St. Crispin's day speech" I'd immediately know what you mean. I'm definitely a Shakespeare fan, but would have no idea which act, scene, &c. that speech occupies. I'd wager that's much less true of the scriptures in many circles.

To expand on that, for physicists Carbon-12 is exactly 12 daltons also denoted 12 Da or 12 u. All other isotopes deviate slightly from a whole number of daltons. If I recall correctly the number of nucleons minus the daltons continues to decrease until you get to iron, which has the lowest nuclear binding energy, after which it continues to increase again (although there's some variation between isotopes so this is more of a general trend).
According to the BfR institute, it can live for 24 hours on cardboard, I would imagine that it is the same for paper [0]. Outside of a lab it is probably significantly shorter than that. Given that there have been no known cases of transmission via objects I think the risk is very low.

Whatever you think of Art Deco - and personally I loathe it, but that's incidental - IMO it would be a tragic failure of imagination to try to reincarnate a design style that's already a century old.

Likewise for Bauhaus design - also a century old.

There are hints of a new generative aesthetic - busy in an unhierarchical repeated-elements kind of way, with organic influences - but that's better suited to architecture and sculpture than commercial design.

There probably won't be a completely original design language until AR/VR become ubiquitous - which will take a while.

Your comments are interesting (in this and other threads), as others have mentioned - authoritarian societies are good for those in authority - less so for the others. If the authoritarian society is so good, why is it necessary to disallow conversation? Surely if everyone was doing well, conversation would be encouraged - because everyone would be saying how well things are going. The assumption of any reasonable person is, that if conversation and dissent is not allowed then there must be a reason, otherwise what are they scared of?
I don't want visual design to be fun. I want it to be clean and consistent. I would gladly take something in 16 color EGA with Comic Sans as its main font if it would just stick to a rigid and clear design language.

I don't think if buttons are flat or lickable or shiny or bezeled or oozing pus-filled nodules. As long as every button has the same styling as every other button and nothing that isn't clickable has that styling? I'm happy.

Pick something and stick to it.

And people who want "fun" designs can go work on their blog.

Even more fascinating, in my opinion, are Lyrebirds [0]. They have been observed the imitate artificial (human-made) sounds such as those of camera shutter, chainsaws [1], and construction work [2].

Not only do I find it impressive that they're capable of producing these kinds of sounds, but probably much more the necessary memory-recall for this. Birds have rather little brain-mass after all, so they must have some excellent way of 'sampling', distinguishing, and storing auditory stimuli.

Ask HN: Why do developer advocates exist?
I mean this in the most non-inflammatory way possible. I want to understand what is the motivation of big companies behind having developer advocates on staff.

I don’t mean people who promote (in both tech and marketing sense of the word) the final product of the business, but rather people behind e.g. React, Andular etc.

Off the top of my head, I can only see this: you want to hire good people, so you push your internal projects to opensource, hoping to increase adoption, get bug fixes etc. So you need someone to promote the project and make sure there is a core group on the edge between possibly less sociable (?) developers and wider audience. Is that even close?

I can also come up with a bunch of counter-arguments to this but I’m not really good at high-level thinking that probably lies behind these decisions so would appreciate any reasonable explanation.

This is probably related to the “why open-source at all” one since if the product is internally successful and solid, the only reasoning to open-source it besides pragmatism (hiring) would be altruism and I find it hard to believe it can actually influence decisions in large enterprises.

Again, I’m asking this completely honestly and I don’t mean to diminish anyone’s role or motivations. Attribute any possibly offensive tone of my question to my ignorance please.
I beg to differ. I don't believe in God and see him as a man made concept, but I do believe it is possible to have ethics and morality outside of religion.

Proof of this is that there are many cultures, historical and present day that do not share this book or any other and that do possess ethics and morality, besides the obvious counter example of atheists.
I've seen that useful commit message make it incredibly easy to see where the code came from and is going. It also never gets 'out of sync' like code comments tend to, as it's a comment on a static place in the code, not a dynamic one.
You make a good point, but I think your making the academic argument rather than the practical argument. Yes, scholars and avid Bible readers understand the exact location of a verse based on its Biblical coordinates, but plenty of others don’t. In practice, it is far more common to see the Bible quoted as a small snippet meant to re-enforce some other point. The Twitter feed of Senator Marco Rubio is a good example.

My comment stands. And further, drugs don't sell themselves, a lot of good hard work and smarts goes into it. It's unfortunately the only easy avenue for those without an education and steady home life.
Meanwhile, no one on Earth believes either party is ignorant of the impacts those decisions make on people's lives or buys such lipservice.

This is sad, not so much because of the lack of code coming from this world class programmer, but because coding is such fun, and Torvalds isn't having fun programming, else he'd be doing it.

I'm closing in on forty years of coding and still get a kick out of it. I'd still be doing it if I weren't getting paid for it. But my skills are at best, uh, modest compared to Linus. I'd think that doing a thing so much better would only be that much more fun. But this is a data point against that correlation.

I was speaking slightly out-of-hand, but it's the natural conclusion if you take the writings to have been authentically authored by Moses.

Religious traditions place him in approximately the middle of the 2nd millenium BC, while secular scholarship, when they assume he even existed, put him in the 13th century BC. There are numerous scholarly sources attesting to the fact that Hebrew only began to exist as a language in about the 10th century BC. Ergo, Moses must have written in a pre-Hebrew language, which would have very likely been Ugaritic, or at least a related dialect.

This is backed up by the fact that there are certain portions of the Old Testament that are written in a form of Hebrew which is comparatively archaic, such as the Song of Moses in Deuteronomy and the middle chunk of the Book of Job. You can see this reflected in the 2nd century BC Greek translation, the Septuagint, wherein various chunks of these texts are skipped, apparently on account of the translators being unsure how to translate what would be comparable to Middle English to us.
Similarly, comments can lie, but a commit-history cannot. That is, if the commits are digitally signed. Then you know something about who made the change when, and get a hint at why. This is much more valuable than code comments.

Not exactly. Things are done in decimal fractions until you get down to around 1/64", but any farther and they're done in thou (1/1000" aka mils) or tenths (1/10000"). There's overlap, machinists will use thou up to and sometimes beyond a full inch.
I don't know that it's possible to debate without going down very large, very opinionated rabbit holes. You're very clearly wrong on a number of things, I'm sorry. But it should suffice to quantify it with numbers and trends. Namely that Americans don't leave America for quality of life reasons; millions of foreign immigrants want to and attempt to and many succeed illegally; immigrants try from all over the world, not just its direct southern neighbor, despite the US's relative distance from the rest of the world; even Americans who claim to hate the country never leave.

I understand your perspective and think it's fair. When it comes to people voting with their feet however, you do not represent the reality for most people.

Quite often its not even "fancier language, accent and level of confidence", but just that management - for whatever reason - trusts these "outsiders" more than their own employees.

Fair 'nuff. I support that.

I'm not particularly interested in getting paid. My stuff will never be the "magic beans" that will turn some moribund idea into a unicorn. It's just "window dressing," or simple extensions that will help to improve the quality of the software.

It's mostly "brand reinforcement" and portfolio material. I want people to use it, and am willing to remove any obstacles.

I know that's unusual, but that's how I roll. It's a labor of love.

The infrastructure project that I wrote is designed for as many people as possible to use. We don't care whether or not someone wants to try using it to make money (good luck with that). It saves lives.

But, back to the original topic, if I had released software with a particular coercive license, and some corporation then went and used it against that license, I would probably be pissed. Not sure if I'd be pissed enough to hire an attack lawyer, though. I don't think I'm that dedicated.
"A bank" contains multitudes, though. The big banks all have investment arms, which in turn have in-house algorithmic-trading subsidiaries. Now imagine that someone snuck some Affero GPLed code into the trading engine...

(It is at this point that I realize that maybe one of the reason that HFT people like arcane formal-proof languages so much—besides just verifying that they won't lose money—is that the ecosystems of unusual languages are smaller, so it's less likely that any problem has a solution involving third-party code, and therefore there's less concern about IP contamination.)
