These differences between culture A and B are something me and the Wife have been talking about for years. They are mostly in the B group and I in the A. I'm glad that others are seeing the distinction and starting conversations about it.

I found the language the author used to describe each interesting. The "masculine"/"feminine" dichotomy seems to cause those in group B to take offense, in my experience, due to the "cultural norm to think masculine is strong/good and feminine is weak/bad". I like the "bro"/"inclusive" dichotomy because the "bro culture" is now a short-hand for "toxic" so those in group B feel "superior" (_such a bad word but not enough coffee yet_) and are then able to have a discussion about the dichotomy itself.

Something the Wife and I have butted heads against and something I had wished the author would have spent more time on was the dolling out of "responsibility points" during a disagreement. I, in group A, think that as long as I'm not saying "I will hurt you", I can _say_ whatever the fuck I want and you just need to get over it. I think this is how _everyone_ feels, even those in group B, but group A is just open about it. The Wife, however, feels that I should be responsible for what I say that isn't a part of the "group thing" (_once again, an emotional word to get my point across but a tad too far, I know_).

Example: If I say "I dislike your shoes", the Wife has _every right_ to be upset. However, I should not be held accountable/be given "responsibility points" for that. It's on them for being hurt by me not liking their shoes.

Just because I said something that hurt someone's feelings doesn't mean I'm _responsible_ for their feelings. If that is the case, what is stopping _any_ of us saying "You not giving me everything I want hurts me"? If _emotions_ are the end-all, be-all of importance, isn't being emotional until you get your way the ultimate strategy?

I am rambling now. Great article, timely reading for myself. Hope to see more conversation about this and to learn how I can be a better ally to culture B without having to give me my own desires/ideologies in culture A.

> The same could be said for Facebook or vaping or mobile phones in general. New forms of stimulating the brain always have interesting side effects. If we knee-jerk banned this kind of stuff because it’s unknown and might be dangerous, we’d still be living in the dark ages.

Well... the same is said about Facebook and mobile phones (attention economy, media addiction, etc.) and vaping carries long lasting consequences if you use nicotine and or other substances.

We are far past the point of knee-jerk reactions regarding mobile phones and facebook usage.

> I think that the GP comment that kids are smart enough to get porn stands. Kids are social, so even if one kid isn’t technically inclined, some of their friends will be. I recall that access to porn was a bragging point amongst my friend groups in mid 1990s, before Internet porn was even that common.

Which makes it harder to type pornsomething.com into a browser. So not "kids" but "one of them". And his methods might not be the safest/easiest (see my comment about pirate streaming website).

> If you are a parent and you have Internet access you are straight-up naive if you think anything the government can do will “protect” your child from online porn. Just get over it.

You are calling me naive and claiming I believe the government will protect child from porn and that I support the whole thing. All things that are wrong. Then you proceed to tell me to get over something I am not endorsing or promoting.

That's uncalled for.
Intel is one of the top contributors AFAIK...
It is so interesting to see various country approaches to the flow of information, i.e. internet regulation.

At its foundation, the idea amounts to ‘there exists information that is dangerous and it is our job to protect them (the people).’

Based on the range of human abilities, few could argue against the idea that ‘there exists dangerous information’ (that is dangerous to some people).

In the U.S. those on the left are asking corporations to protect people by banning ‘dangerous information’

In China, the CCP has spend a large percentage of their GDP and has defined almost all information not related to consumerism and good manners as ‘dangerous’

In France, this.

If everyone were perfect, there would be no dangerous information, because people would be able to read things in perfect context. That will never happen.
I recently learned that you need the FB SDK in your iOS app if you want to promote it on FB or Insta. So I guess most apps doing social marketing have the SDK.
Almost all scientific computing.
In spite of considerable effort, there are relatively few workloads that use GPUs well, and even for codes which do work on GPU, you tend to end up with partial functionality, and a very restrictive region of parameter space where they work efficiently. (And often you run out of memory very quickly - scientific workloads typically run multi-node and share RAM across the nodes via Global Arrays or equivalent. Using multiple terabytes of memory is absolutely normal.) The computation in deep learning is actually quite simple (matrix-vector operations), and still it has taken considerable effort to develop efficient kernels (such as cuDNN).

The next UK supercomputer is based around AMD's 64 CPU chips for this reason. One concern is that we may now be limited by the shared memory bandwidth. https://www.nextplatform.com/2019/10/18/amd-cpus-will-power-...

this is the main point. both states like to do it without trial.

WSL 1 was not a virtual machine. It was a re-implementation of the Linux kernel API within the Windows kernel. As such, it's probably more comparable to CoLinux (if that's still a thing).
Almost every SaaS I've worked on did not start as people sitting down saying, "Lets make a SaaS". It started as people fell into a problem space as part of their ongoing work. In those cases, your first customers are already right in front of you, so you build what they need, then iterate to make it more useful for a wider community.

There are certainly pain points to find your 10th-100th customer. But if you don't even know who your 1st customer is, you are flying blind.
Cool! I wish you luck.

I have authored one project that took ten years to reach maturity (It is now exploding). That allowed me to iterate it, and ensure that it would be top-quality, by the time I tossed the reins over to a new team.

It was free, though, and a labor of love[0].

I wrote another project as a "training course." It was sort of a dissertation. The quality is pretty much "off the charts."

I had originally thought about selling it, but was told that was a non-starter, because it was written in in PHP[1], so I simply open-sourced it as MIT.

Nowadays, I work on client-side code (native Swift for Apple stuff). I am not in a hurry to get back to SaaS.

I like the name of the blog.

Hi,

College student here who was surprised how much journalling apps cost so I decided to build one myself! It’s completely free, and will NEVER have a subscription model in the future.
I would greatly appreciate any feedback from the community as I will be updating it constantly in the coming months.

Ask HN: Is open source a must for developer tools?
I would like to build a business around developer tools and see that most of developer tools are open-source (Apollo GraphQL, Prisma, Spring Framework, etc).

However when bootstrapping without venture capital, open-sourcing your work may make it easy to copy you.

Is open-sourcing and running as fast as you can the only viable option for developer tools today?
I have two use cases. The first is to keep track of interesting articles I find and plausibly want to refer back to in the future. A 3rd party browser extension and mobile app make saving very easy, and then I tag each item with a high-level category. This is also pretty painless, and brings a lot of value (otherwise you just have an unsorted collection of links - not helpful). An example is my 'long reads' tag https://pinboard.in/u:guyaglionby/t:long-read/. The 'unread' feature is also useful here - I've got >10 long reads banked for when I'm looking for things to do.

The second is as a kind of mechanism to give myself permission to close a bunch of tabs every time they accumulate. Each is _obviously_ open for a good reason and I may want to read it at some point, so sticking it on pinboard is a nice way of shoving them elsewhere. I don't save everything - curation is important (in the same way as with tagging). Lots of what remains are things that may be useful for me in the future but are not immediately, like design guides https://pinboard.in/u:guyaglionby/t:design/. Some of these things I leave as 'unread'; others that feel more like reference material I mark as 'read' immediately so as not to have them in my to-read queue.
The sad thing is that it's almost futile raising a bug against complex software like this or IDEs. It doesn't matter if it's FOSS or commercial, they already have backlogs of 10000s of bugs so unless loads of other people are reporting the same bug, it almost certainly won't be fixed.

I have never had a Visual Studio or Windows bug report fixed and only a few JetBrains ones fixed. However, if it's a small tool or library then it's a different story, much higher response rate.
NPM Dependency Handbook for You
It is not a pointer to an array I'm concerned about but the "neighbour diff vector" or what you should call it that provided by the "environment". See A.1.2.

Doing so many comparisons and storing them has a cost. Also the model can't decide if it is done so at each step the array has to be iterated to see if it is sorted by the "environment". Are they only counting function calls? I guess so. The paper is really hard to follow and the pseudocode syntax is quite madding.

If I understand the paper correctly of course I could be wrong.

If so, "our approach can learn to outperform custom-written solutions for a variety of problems", is bogus.
First I thought this is a repost...

This is how it works on Android. Generally on a rooted phone you have a 'manager' like Magisk or Superuser. The first time an application tries to use root, the manager makes a popup and allows you to grant permission temporarily or forever.

It's simply without a trial. All states have nice words for why they have to target whom they target. Let's not fall for propaganda.

The scale is different: true. But same-scale is not a prerequisite for hypocrisy.
Generally, though, you shouldn't optimize GUI:s for new users but for intermediate users.

The government can’t get this data unless you make it public. You don’t have a right to privacy on Twitter or in any public space. I could personally scrape this same data from Twitter.

These arguments have already been decided. Wanting something to be true doesn’t make it true. If you want to further restrict the government you’ll need to petition for new laws.
I have a 9-5 job currently. Also contribute to a local "code for location" thing. I have some time, I have a bit though generally being single/no responsibilities other than myself.

I don't like that I have one income and I'm scared of losing my job sort of thing, granted I get a lot of recruiters hitting me up(though am I qualified, just string matching).

> 1. Think about problems you've faced.

This mostly it's an attention thing for me, I'm trying to learn Android/make a widget, I did the cross platform app part for the mobile/desktop app, for a centralized thing... this is not something that would make money eg. OneNote/Evernote/etc... Other thing is managing money I have spread sheet tabs.

Yeah only thing I use really are the note taking/money managing stuff(not YNAB or something just tabulating).

Yeah working with friends is hit and miss... I didn't get paid for that thing I built was about 14 hours(had to figure out PayPal's API(which one)).

I actually have few friends, most are in specific niches eg. aero industries.

Thanks for the thoughts.

edit: I didn't get paid because I'm expensive(to this person)/weird to ask friends for money even though time/expertise costs someone something. Arguable too can you charge for something you don't know... anyway it's still like one of those things where $60/hr or something is too expensive for a person.

At the end though, no I have not tried hard enough, I haven't launched anything.
I don't think the ribbon itself is a bad idea, but I absolutely hate the following two things:

1. Latency. When you click a dropdown, the whole interface can freeze for several seconds while Word presumably renders the menu or something. I can just about understand that for the fonts menu, but for the "bullets and enumerations" dropdown it's just plain bad.

2. Things moving around in the ribbon because Microsoft decided to push an auto-update to include some new search with bing or "data insights" feature.

Would like to be a person who can work on a job which is cross of software development+business+analysis. Kind of like investigation work.

I liked web optimization work in past and loved it. In this job I was given a problem. I then collected data about the problem, then found the solution of it and code it. I later then collected data again to check the difference. I really loved it.

If anyone have such kind of opportunity then let me know. Money isn't the issue here.
Currently telegram is becoming place for movies and porn.
Well, how do you get consistent tracking then?

Obs: I'm being sarcastic but since it's either this or developer laziness, I'm betting on tracking since I always start from the principle that the developers analysed the situation and made an explicit choice.
Do people use LibreOffice because it's open-source or because it you don't have to pay for it? In either case, the "enterprise edition" they envision will fail to service either camp.

If you have to spend any money at all, you might as well spend the money that MS Office costs. Or else, the main competitor is not MS Office but Google Docs.
Absolutely. And if collectors are worried about forgery, they have the resources to investigate it themselves.
How does it compare to https://docs.prefect.io/ ?
How is it that a third party SDK is consistently causing apps to completely crash rather than, for example, displaying an error message? Is this a failure that cannot be caught? Sorry, just trying to understand. The dependency relationship just seems to be extreme.
Weekend Roundup: Facebook’s Messy Audit; Palantir Thinks IPO
Given how protective Apple is about the experience of apps on the App Store and this happening the second time, I'm surprised they have not come up with a way to prevent this from happening. Also, a monolithic SDK should not exist in this day and age.

Spyware isn't not spyware because it's useful to a minority of users sometimes. You throw all of your users under the tracking bus by doing this.
I find it noteworthy that LibreOffice Online is what's bringing in cash according to TFA. What it might tell us is that the prevalence of cloud and online services today is just a consequence and natural market reaction to F/OSS proliferation. LO/OO.o themselves have open-sourced their product many years ago when it still was owned by Sun (I even know developers in Hamburg who worked on it in the 1990's when it still was called Star Office).

I don’t understand this, you don’t have to explicitly create Kafka topics unless you configure this to be a requirement.

I’ve implemented exactly what you talk about using dynamic topics in Kafka and it was trivial.

If porn had no consequences then there wouldn't be a need for better sex education.

If you disagree with the fact that not using a condom can have long lasting consequences (as in getting pregnant or getting an std) then I don't think we should debate the subject any longer.
Answering these questions are difficult because the protests were against the police, and any admission of nuance lessens the passion against injustice. With less emotional investment comes less participation.

Questions:

Were these protests legal or during coronavirus effectively temporarily illegal?

Another question is, given a police precinct building was evacuated and set on fire during a protest, should those attending the protest expect to no surveillance. Or only if violence happens?

In the UK there are stronger hate speech laws. Most people in the UK would want the police to be surveiling the far right during their arguably less violent counter protests. Should they not be wanting this?

Sense is a very personal thing, if at all. There is no intrinsic sense after all. Though you could make an argument for biological sense- survival and all that jazz.

I live minimalistically and try to keep busy until 1) either the time passes and I go through all the motions, or 2) I get an certain enough opportunity to end it all.
There would be informal distribution networks via groups on various messaging apps or general-purpose cloud storage services. This might spell the end for the major "tube" sites if they can't make enough ad revenue, but this is definitely not going to be the end of porn.
The gentoo installation process is better documented and you learn a lot more about compilation. I started with gentoo, installed lfs for fun and years later made the switch to arch. I think I learned a lot of things I didn't know when installing lfs, but nothing new when installing arch (had used gentoo for at least 5 years at that point thought).

I think that the main sticking point is the documentation. It was certainly the reason why I went with gentoo at first, not because of the control over the system, but the fact that there was a great wiki (that was often down :D) and great official documentation that lead me every step of the way. I'm of the firm believe that every linux install can teach you everything as long as the documentation doesn't skip on things. You won't learn anything from lfs if you just copy paste commands and you can at that point install ubuntu.

Blender is way better since 2.80 imho. I have been an a blender user since about 2005. I find 2.80 improved the UI considerably. For me it was well worth the little effort I had to put in.
I wasn't sure if a Lenovo Monitor Plugged in via VGA to a Dell Dock to my MBP 13" would support DDC.

MonitorControl wasn't able to control my Brightness, it just set it to lowest level. This made me realise that there was some support to DDC, I tried trouble shooting using ddctl which was able to set the values, but not poll it.

Finally tried Lunar (https://lunar.fyi/) and it works like a charm. It's more of a set it and forget approach and has a unique UI.
I believe last time this happened it was because they were running code (including network requests) in a callback that gets called when they were loaded by the dynamic linker.
> GOG.com (run by CD Projekt, the Polish developers of the Witcher series), are easily the best citizens altogether, most importantly for their commitment to DRM-free distribution

The commitment is weaker than they want it to sound. They're selling quite a few games now that require an internet connection or a serial number in order for multiplayer to work, or even just to access some of the single-player gameplay.

Refusing to call something "DRM" doesn't mean you're DRM-free.

Everyone thinks everyone else is in their past.

Colloquially, we think that Alex and Bob are the same persons from each others' perspective.

If helps, use symbols: A(A), A(B), B(B), B(A).

They lost me here. I can think of plenty of situations where reduced latency is beneficial, but not many situations where shaving a few milliseconds would make a difference to “business insight”!
