> I have never argued for any restrictions on free speech and yet you continue to say that I have. Why is this confusing for you?

You have repeatedly said that Balaji's actions are harassment. Again, harassment is illegal. Why is this confusing for you? When you say that somebody is harassing someone, you're saying that their actions are illegal and it's the government's responsibility to put a stop to it. For the third time harassment is illegal.

Do you believe Balaji's Tweet are illegal? If not then you agree with me: he is not harassing people. Is he being a jackass? Sure. Is this harassment? No.

> I'm just inferring his characteristics from his obsession with Taylor and his constant combative language about free press and journalists.

Right. And Balaji is inferring Taylor's status as a sociopath given her actions. But apparently this isn't harassment when you do it, but it is harassment when other people do the same.
The old elite fighting back was inevitable.

I am optimistic however. These things happen in a two steps forward, one step back fashion. And unfortunately for the corrupt in this country the geenie is already out of the bottle.

Maybe 2 discussions are here, one of legal/fiscal and another of social culpability.

Absolutely, we have the process to modify laws or treaties we find no longer to suit the modern country. We try to move forward with better laws or fairer treaties, everyday. We as living citizens have the responsibility to improve today's laws. (As I hope we do regarding police conduct, to be topical.)

If I take your statement "...Citizens is taking responsibility collectively as a populace for the actions of the state." I would have to accept that my ancestors escaping persecution in another country and coming to this one, that I am morally bound to take on the social dogmas of the United States for crimes I did not commit or do not endorse today. I don't believe this to be correct or fair, but this is my opinion.

It seems like the historical weight of this country (or maybe any country) will crush it under past social deeds that are irremediable.
Unfortunately, we can not correct the past, but we should heed it, to not make similar mistakes. If there is no way to not be guilty for the crimes of the state then perhaps we should abandon the state.

Thank you so much for the kind words. It really means a lot to us.

Thank you! Honestly we're just cheap/lazy – we really wanted a super low-maintenance blogging platform, and static pages are amazing IMHO. This gave us "all" of both worlds, sort of.
So let the seats be empty. That will make the constituents mad and they'll vote out the incumbents and replace them with somebody who will appoint Senators. Or they won't. People get the government they deserve.

And if there are "concerns about corruption" then investigate the corruption and put the perpetrators (if any) in prison.

Ultimately though, jumping between a bunch of cancelled projects is not fulfilling and likely to lead to burn out in the long run.

Kotlin has sealed its fate turning into Android's main language.

On the JVM its novelty will fade out while Java adopts whatever features might be relevant to the millions of Java developers out there, just like it happened with all other that came before.

And I remember the days back when Groovy was supposed to be the scripting language for JEE, and Spring was going full speed with it as Java alternative, and we even got strongly typed variant.
> The big news is that the Asia website reported the 3995WX is an offering 8-channel DDR4 memory interface, up to 2 TB of it

This indicates 3995WX supports not only 8ch but also RDIMM/LRDIMM that's not supported on current Threadripper. It should need a new Socket rather than current TRX40 (TRX80 was rumored a year ago). Threadripper gets closer to EPYC.

I expect PCIe lanes limitation still remains for make difference (It's many even limited).

In general, cops directly prevent almost no crimes. Their job is basically to respond to crimes and either stop it in progress or find and punish the perpetrators. If they have a prevention effect it is from deterrence.
Hi, this is a cool list!

Your caption sounds a bit off in English. Perhaps try "A curated list of awesome repositories with few stargazers but many users".

It's curated, but did you search for repositories using GitHub's API? Or are they ones you are already familiar with?
The main reason the airlines managed to run Concorde at a profit is because they bought the planes for quite cheap. At one point the British government even sold two planes to British airways for £1 each. [0]

Melanomas are pretty drastic because they'll quickly spread cancer throughout your body, and require chemotherapy to prevent you from dying if not detected early enough.

More common you can get carcinomas that doctors prefer to cut out. BCCs often look like a rough patch of skin that never heals while a SCC can be more wart-like and also spread locally if not dealt with.

All are caused by sun damage.

One correction: Stratolaunch hasn't closed. Vulcan sold it last year to Cerberus Capital Management [1], the private-equity firm that controlled Chrysler before it merged with Fiat. But it continues to operate with the same management.

PEP 602 – Annual Release Cycle for Python
Flight testing of a one third scale prototype will likely begin next year. Given they haven't even started manufacturing the full scale prototype it seems unlikely that they can get into service in 7 years. To give a recent example the A400M took 7 years from the start of the prototype build in 2007 to entering service in 2014.

And yet that significant portion of the population somehow manages not to descend into a life of lawlessness even though meth is incredibly easy to come by almost anywhere in the country.

I'm pointing out that it's absurd to attribute problematic behaviors to the mere consumption of drugs. We severely restrict freedoms in the name of a battle against symptoms rather than address underlying causes. Worse is that our waging of the battle itself is a vicious cycle, serving only to worsen the very same symptoms that it supposedly seeks to address.
I'm a a hiring manager at Uber. All I want to see is your profile being relevant for the position. The second best thing you can do is choose a clear format [1], be clear about the results you've helped happen, and customize your resume for that specific job.

The best thing you can do is get a referral. Still with a referral you'll want a relatively relevant resume.

And to your point on what you can do to be relevant. I say keep track of the impact of what you ship. How much $$ per year does your project generate? How many users? How many RPS? How many engineering hours saved? Whenever I see people with resumes who have done more impactful things than I'm hiring for, I think: I need to talk to this person. It's exactly the type of expertise we need. And so few resumes have any of this.

I'm also writing a book exactly on this topic, which is at 115 pages and lots of visuals, and examples, including advice for experienced people like yourself. As I don't trust myself only, I'm having tech recruiters and hiring managers across the industry help me out. You can check out the beta of the book [2] and I'd love feedback on what you might feel is missing there.

I'm planning to make the book free for any software engineer who have lost their job due to COVID when it launches.

Pickle’s Nine Flaws
Could be. When I was young I went to Hawaii and got a bad blistering burn on my forehead, and I was only out for 15 minutes. I suspect that was the root cause.
Thanks for the reply. We do have some updates on the UI, rolling out soon.
While true, it just doesn’t really seem like a challenge to run Node and Redis and do a bit of web scraping on that. So nothing against Raspberry Pi but I interpreted the spirit of the question as asking about the really long tail of low end systems. NetBSD, for example, runs on Motorola 68K based Mac systems like the Mac Classic II which only supports up to 10 MB of RAM and has a 16 MHz CPU. The top comment talks about adapting a toy with a tiny screen and 32 MB of RAM which is great.
People in HN might be interested to know that Bulgaria has one of the (second place I think) biggest difference between average salary in IT and average salary for everybody else.

Being part of the EU it’s easy to find an IT job, with all the work from home initiatives now more than ever. SO being the poorest country in EU you can get to some ridiculous standards of living if you are in IT.

And in the recent five years or so the bigger cities in the country have upped their game quite a bit. Before the covid crisis I liked to hang out with foreigners visiting the country and all of them mentioned it being a very positive experience. They often start researching rent prices and such.

Propeller planes used about half as much fuel per mile as early jets. Jets have caught up, but it took half a century to get back to earlier levels of fuel efficiency.

Slowing down in general is an easy way to bring down energy usage, but it's often a hard sell.

Heck - if you want to see what would have happened without EU, look all around: Ukraine, Moldova, Serbia. Serbia and Ukraine were miles ahead of us until we joined the EU.
Who said buying pack of Pokemon cards wasn't gambling?

The redeeming thing with Pokemon was that when you spent money back then you knew exactly how much you spent and you couldn't spend more than your allowance.

Another redeeming thing was that with Pokemon you actually had a physical object that you could also trade with your friends.

By any means I'm not trying to defend Pokemon, but wanted to show that this is much worse.

It weirds me out that you're probably the first person I've seen in years on the internet saying something this "bold" and unambiguous.

I often wonder if there's some system in place which separates us. Or perhaps the combo of logic, intuition, and honesty is just super rare. I don't know, but I hope you're doing well and having a reasonably fulfilling adventure amongst this hellishly senseless superstition culture.

This is how it works in Arizona as well. I think it's pretty standard.

They just want people to use their app. I honestly think their strategy is to piss off non app users into using their app. I tried out the app after years of mobile safari browsing and the experience is clearly heavily optimized.
> And in the 4 years where the seats are empty? Or the year where the state can pass no state level legislation?

But whose problems are these? The people who elected the state legislators who did them, right? There is a preexisting solution for that problem.

The voters can vote for representatives who are willing to compromise and appoint a moderate, or they can vote for representatives who are willing to engage in brinkmanship and then get nothing, and either way they got what they voted for.

They are even more loaded because of the loot boxes in CS:GO, DotA 2 and TF2.
I do see the value in interpersonal and teaching skills.
The best developers have them and are interested in helping others. In my experience, though, programmers tend to be introverted. One definition of introversion is that interacting with people drains them of energy. So being
a teacher is harder work than just writing code and probably
pays less money. That's why I said especially that it needs to be explicitly paid for in this scenario. Otherwise the developers will go elsewhere.

A similar problem exists in consulting companies. It's hard to find people who are great at programming, great at managing people, great at doing sales, and great at running the business. The rare person can do it all, but you can't hire for it. Everyone like that is running their own business.

So you end up with a split between the technical part of the team and non-technical managers. In this case it's usually the non-technical managers who make all the money :-)
I'm expressing doubt that 'TeeMassive is well-informed about black bloc tactics or that their claims are rooted in truth, since they made a basic error that would seem to stem from third-hand hearsay.
I truly hate loot boxes, and I'll never buy any personally, but the way it worked in Dota 2 originally was a little different although it did change over time.

At first you could just buy item sets, which I didn't bother with, but you could also buy tickets to pro games, which I enjoyed and sometimes you'd get a bonus item. Also, the sets were made by third parties, and they'd get a cut of the sales. Also, all the gear could be sold on the Steam Market (generally for pennies though..).

Eventually this morphed into you could only 'gamble' for the sets by buying loot boxes which was a big step down, but there was still the option to buy from someone on the Steam Marketplace - so at least that was an option.

Overall, I found Valve's lootbox implementation the best as you could sell and buy on the Marketplace, but I preferred the original way where I could just buy a character set that I wanted.
And I would argue that adopting guest languages, alongside the extra complexity that they bring on board regarding extra IDE plugins, more layers to debug (has to pretend to be Java to the JVM), FFI issues (calling coroutines from Java), and creating their own library eco-system is not worth the trouble, beyond some short term feel good.

As long as the platform exists, its main language is the one holding the keys.
I wonder wether there's some problem with the usb-c alternate modes and their implementations / drivers.

Below are a bunch of my experiences with this which shows that behaviours are all over the place which kind of excludes an outright broken OS or piece of equipment. To me it looks much more like a compatibility issue.

I don't own a usb-c mac, but I've never had any problems whatsoever with my 2013 retina, always works perfectly even with 4k@60Hz screens.

I have a desktop PC which exhibits the same kind of weird behaviour you have. It has a thunderbolt 3 / usb-c / dp connector which is downright awful.

I've managed to connect an Apple thunderbolt display to it with official tb2 -> tb3 adapter, it works well most of the time. Put the computer to sleep though and the screen never comes back on. Sometimes it doesn't detect the USB ports on it either. Mostly works if I force the thunderbolt mode to DisplayPort only in the bios.

I've next connected a regular usb-c monitor to it (DP alternate mode + usb2 for peripherals). Works great in bios. Mostly works on Linux. On windows it turns off when getting to the login screen. I don't know how, but I've managed to get it to work exactly once. When I turned the computer back on the next morning, it was again off on the windows login screen. The monitor IS detected, it shows up in the Display Preferences if I connect it to both usb-c and display port. It just won't turn on.

On Linux, it kinda works. I would say there's a 50/50 chance it won't detect it at 60 Hz. Sometimes, if it works at 60Hz, if the display goes to sleep it won't come back on at 60Hz. I guess at least there is some output, so it's got that going over windows.

I found an option on the bios to enable "high speed display output". No idea what exactly that means, it didn't do anything.

This same screen works perfectly with a usb-c (no thunderbolt) laptop on linux. Never had any issue, always detected as 4k@60Hz.

The same monitor and same PC over DP: no problem.
My original comment was about the Canadian military and was an example of how groups like the police don't necessarily need unions so you're the one bringing the US military into this. I can't speak for the US military but the Canadian military is active domestically doing search and rescue, responding to natural disasters, counter terrorism, etc. People will die if those activities need to take place and the military is on strike. They doesn't account for other important work like embassy staff. I know the US military provides embassy security. How many people would die if no US embassies had armed people with guns protecting them?

It's also important to consider that when you're talking about the military who dies matters more than how many people die. How many civilian drone strike casualties would it take to get the same attention that Benghazi got?

What mechanism does the US military have to force people to work in the event that the whole military is on strike? Are they going to charge the entire military if they go on strike? Everybody walks down into the brig and the last man in locks the door behind them?
personally I think the mistake is trying to fit both purposes into a single format or type. as you state, it's a fundamentally different data type. representing a fixed moment in time is hard. representing a "floating" time of day is hard. trying to do both with the same type is pretty insane, but unfortunately common.
You don't need to be "assigned moral guilt" to recognize atrocities from the past, their influence on the present state, and reparations that should be made.
Indeed! So we could discuss about it!
I think it's stupid to post this on Twitter and Facebook. I know someone who was protesting the policy of taking away guns from people deemed a threat and posting his guns.
Sure enough his guns were taken away. The interpretation are too broad and it's better not to advertise anything that can be detrimental to yourself. I don't support the fact that this happened but I don't believe it's a good idea to give away information that can be hurtful to you. Activism happens in the court of law, not your Facebook or Twitter rants that make you seem unhinged and gives reasons to "lawfully investigate" you.
An excellent book in that regard and for anyone looking to learn more is Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Brown.
Sure, I mentioned Moldova due to very similar geopolitical situation, culture and ethnicity. They even speak the same language.
