Good old times; I made the CentOS, Fedora and OpenSuSE images

Used this a lot for cross platform development, like C#/.NET and Mono. Used this with an xserver on windows (xming?) and ran monodevelop or gvim.

Articles like this always remind me of Clifford's "The Ethics of Belief". I feel like no one ever sums up the the importance of thorough and independent thought as well as Clifford did 150 years ago.

This explains Twitter behavior in a nutshell.
I'll acknowledge the psych aspect with a nod but otherwise want to move on and say this:

The value of truth is more important today than ever before, and modern society's interest in it seems to be lower than ever before.

That scares me, and I'm not willing to let truth be devalued. I will step on toes and be "right" if I am pushing truth, especially when pushing it on "deniers" and other politically- or otherwise-motivated falsehood peddlers.
Never heard about Chesterton's Fence, thanks for sharing that. Definitely applicable to legacy code.
Similar to the bar exam for lawyers. It used to be you could be a lawyer by passing the bar even if you had no degree.
> On what planet should an app be allowed to read or write to the clipboard?

This will be news to pretty much every clipboard implementation that exists, considering that they all rely on programmatic access.

Copying and pasting aren't magic opaque syscalls, they're things that programs implement (or rely on a common library to implement).
How many people feel uncomfortable with this terminology and who are they? What about the people who feel uncomfortable with the new terminology instead (the majority)?
Not the op but sure. No sources for any of the many claims in the article. No references to studies. No number based claims such as "9 out of 10 times x happens"...
First problem is expecting expert answer to be simple, easy to understand, without asterisks and conditions. Experts often disagree about nuances or have competing theories.

Second issue is tendency to take the first confident guy with simple answer as expert. The folding expert is pretty often not considered expert by people who deal with the field - he is typically just someone confident and well spoken.

Thanks. Used it quite a lot to do multiplatform development with C#/.NET
"scratch the surface of programming, which nonetheless equips you for real world jobs" could possibly be fair to say about a bootcamp. It certainly filled a certain demand, although one has to wonder if better software won't just eat 4 month configuration++ bootcamps
Yeah exactly, the whole thing is a charade. Want to see white fragility? Ask CEOs to release compensation numbers for all their employees or provide health/dental/vision insurance for retail workers or any number of things that actually improve people's lives.
Should I buy an Intel Mac today or wait to buy an Arm-based Mac?
I agree. I hold an Extra class license for work with microwave RF equipment, years ago.

Today, the argument for getting a ham license for use as a general communications tool seems to boil down to: "It's like the Internet, except that it's synchronous, slow, requires special (moderately expensive) equipment to access -- and to join, you have to take a test using high school math. Sign up here!".

If you're interested in the tech of radio, then a license gives you the ability to legally operate interesting equipment. Or, you might be active in another hobby that has special communcations needs, or you might want to provide a public service in the event of disaster. All legit, but definitely niche.
Reading is certainly step one. Steps two to ten probably involve lots of trying things, experimenting, learning, practicing.
- Wow apologies you’re exactly right, I just converted this from JS to typescript and instead of making this variable null | undefined | string, i made it a string and added a default as a shortcut to get it released. Apologies for questioning this will fix it asap, if nothing else I get some peer review when publishing a Show HN :) https://github.com/whatl3y/hide/blob/5ee54aad1b1c3da4d186568...

- Got it, yeah I guess my defense would be it still requires the user to make a conscious decision so it’s not as bad as it being ambiguous or unclear, although removing the ability to control this via env var might be the right move.

- I’ll look into and add something to do this soon :)
> “ The cost of a bug slipping through because a test being skipped will be higher than running an irrelevant test to a commit.”

It really depends on the type of bug, and perhaps this could be factored into the model by also correlating change sets with outage severity or complexity of a fix.
I've used it a bit in production. Our use case avoided a lot of the potential issues you mentioned, so it may not be entirely helpful:

* serialization: the input was passed a json string argument. the output was a file uploaded to S3, so just the URL was returned, again in a JSON string
* global variables: the program was quite self-contained: there was an initial state setup that was not mutated afterwards. So RQ's fork-exec model(the default) worked well enough

Sorry I don't have much to say about performance and scaling. It was quite fine for our needs, and we could scale horizontally upto a certain point by just starting extra processes, and beyond that with more VMs. Since they all listened on the same RQ, it worked fine. (the number of items in our queue never really hit any of Redis' limitations either)

RQ lets you customize the worker model: so you could for instance use threads instead of processes.

Regarding monitoring: there's RQ dashboard[1] which gives a nice web interface to view jobs, failures, and restart them.

The article seems to be making a case for protecting your mind from the constant bombardment of "junk food" media readily available in our current culture. I respect the idea, but I find it impractical. I do however find it effective to control the flow of that media, and in particular control the order in which I consume it.

If I roll out of bed and open reddit or facebook first thing in the morning, I feel like I am priming my mind for failure. Lately I have been trying to read more enriching material in the morning, and slowly move into less useful material as the day goes on. For example, I usually wake up and have my first coffee while reading HN and WSJ. Mid morning break I may read a chapter of whatever non-fiction book I am currently working on. Lunch may be Ars, TC, or hackaday. And finally in the evening I will start moving towards reddit, facebook, etc.

Maybe there are more disciplined people out there that can completely avoid non-enriching material, but for some reason I can't shake it. I can however move it to the least productive part of my day, and I generally feel better for it.
Yes I agree with that - I think the argument against their perceived weakness in institutions is that academia/media/tech are generally claimed to be left-dominated by the right. But even if it is, that is not the same as POC and minorities having material power, even in those places.

But the historical lack of power is a powerful argument to pursue and use in counter as here - but they have to be prepared for the "well, all those institutions are run by liberals now" response.

I don't see anything but weakness in the left's denial of the obvious witch-hunts - they should not protest so much perhaps but examine honestly in good faith the complaint, and bear in mind that while this is currently (mostly but not entirely) a disease of the left, conservatives need also to remember their own equivalent purges in the McCarthy years.

This is a human flaw, and acknowledging it while maintaining the right to defend against institutional legacy power structures and discrimination or bias seems a more healthy and constructive way forward.
I guess COVID is special in the fact that COVID is widespread and causes high fever in a significant number of symptomatic individuals. The flu also commonly causes high fevers, however, it isn't spreading at the rate COVID is, so ultimately, due to the widespread nature of COVID, it seems reasonable to link these two concerns. An underlying recent theme has been to consider long term consequences this disease may have on societies across the world due to its scale, as well as those individuals health. We're going to have a lot more people seriously ill than we typically do with previously known infections and diseases and that will have notable impacts.

From the article:

>“My worry is that we have millions of people with COVID-19 now. And if in a year’s time we have 10 million recovered people, and those people have cognitive deficits ... then that’s going to affect their ability to work and their ability to go about activities of daily living,” Adrian Owen, a neuroscientist at Western University in Canada, told Reuters in an interview.

We see what the short term consequences are, now we should also consider potential long term consequences of this very widespread disease.

same mentality for me.

i'm pretty sure coffee is like almost 0 calories as long as you dont add milk, isnt it?
If I believe what? That explaining something helps me with my own understanding? Plenty of teachers and professors report the same feeling, so I'm not alone in this.

If what you meant is that helping people understand something doesn't feel wonderful to you, then of course you're entitled to that opinion. One really can't argue with subjective feelings.
Precisely! It's the rough equivalent of a tempfile in your home directory, I don't know why even developers have come to view it like it's some super secure and private kernel component.
Celsius isn't an ISO base unit. Just use Kelvin everywhere, you can get used to it pretty easily. It's almost 300K here right now, which is too hot for my liking.
I am struggling with a similar problem (food, and gas in particular, affecting my sleep) and was wondering if you'd be willing to share more about your experience.
Jokes on them, JavaScript won’t do shit if your target audience is not using a browser to render content. I got a site that renders in a terminal, much like wttr.in, ifconfig.co, etc.
Stuff like diffing multiple json documents and merging adds, updates and deletes where conflicts did not exist and overwriting conflicting attributes based on timestamps (latest wins). There's some reasonably good jsonpatch libraries out there that will do the heavy lifting.

Plenty of room for problems to arise, but it did not require keeping a log of updates. My use cases did not require real-time collaboration and the structure of the document was known beforehand, though.
That's an interesting idea. Sometimes a lot of the (service provision) cost depends on how efficient the data access is at the host.

For example, let's take an API that includes a 'GET /data?start=0&end=100' endpoint that retrieves items with key between 0 and 100.

If items are stored in sorted key order, that could be an efficient and inexpensive query that retrieves exactly the 100 relevant items and doesn't perform any other unnecessary work.

If, on the other hand, the database contains a billion items and they aren't stored in key order, then with a caller-pays pricing model, it's (probably, for the sake of argument) not worth running that query.

In some cases it might be reasonable to continue to pay for the expensive queries. But what if all you need to do is convince the host to 'CREATE INDEX ... ON (key)'?

(all very hypothetical - I don't have any explicit answers. if the host service were open source, the answer might be 'open a pull request and talk to them, and hopefully reduce everyone's costs')

I don't expect that it is well-known that high fever can cause brain damage in the general public. Also, from the things I've read, the concern is that there seems to be a higher rate of cognitive impairment than one should expect for the fevers people are getting with COVID-19.
For people that have been aware of her it's entirely obvious that Rowling is not engaging in the issue in good faith.

For example, before she published under her own name she published under the pen-name of "Robert Galbraith".

So far so what, right?

Well that's the name of an infamous psychologist who experimented on gay people - often people in the criminal justice system who did not or could not consent to treatment - in order to try and convert them to heterosexuality.

Rowling has also been a vocal defender of Maya Forstater who lost a case at the Employment Tribunal in a case about how she described trans people for "[violating] their dignity and/or [creating] an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment". That's not the view of some random trans rights campaigner, that's a judge who must take in to account freedom of expression as provided for in the European Convention on Human Rights.

There's much more when you scratch the surface of Rowling's transphobia.
i'm a little confused why this article doesn't also bring up the other high profile supreme court scraping case - the HiQ LinkedIn case (https://www.natlawreview.com/article/hiq-files-opposition-br...)

Why does the Supreme Court seem to be considering these two related cases together? seems like duplication?

Nassim Taleb's "Lindy Effect" I think is an interesting take on how to mediate between these two modes. The general idea is that the older a (still followed) tradition is the more likely it is to contain some eternal truths that should be respected even if you yourself can't understand them directly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_effect
That's just an assumption on your end. I'm not the one going against social norms and making people pay special attention to me or else I cancel them. If anything, these codes of conduct are to LGBT what gay parades are to homosexuals like Alan Turing.
Ha! Didn’t even see that.
Empathic, not delusional. This person has a different set of values and I resonate with what they expressed.
Most trees alive today were already alive 40 years ago; saying that they won't survive the temperature in 40 years is simply saying that the warning in the past 40 years has already used a large part of their tolerance.

BTW, I wouldn't bet that temperatures will change only a little in the next 40 years, considering how many record temperatures we've had in the past ten.

All copying and pasting relating functionality would be broken, because clipboards literally function by granting programmatic access to applications.

"The user initiates a paste command manually" is a requirement that may be trivial for a human to express but near impossible for software to implement.
Similarly the very common surname Das in India and nearby countries, meaning slave or servant. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Das_(surname) says servant, but Hindi and Bengali speakers I know of would translate दास or দাস as slave more than servant.)

I’m now amusing myself by imagining someone requesting that Das Keyboard rename their product…

I've spent years tracking my food intake and indeed most apps (even from great brands) are crap.

I built my own web tracker and diet creator but I ended up not using it at all. These days my diet is stable enough that I know roughly what I'm going to eat. When I'm lean cutting or lean building I just throw in / remove a snack rich in protein.

The app look really amazing but the value it provides is not life changing. If I were a potential customer I'd be put off by it being subscription based.
Sure, it's great for you to have MRR but as a user I'm not adding a monthly cost for a fancy ui and the hope to lose fat.
I'm not opposed to faster compile times, and there is plenty of room for improvement, as I have already stated.

Generally speaking, if you are using incremental compilation, Rust is fast enough for development. It could be better, especially on large projects, but I haven't found it to be an issue generally. There are a bunch of improvements that could still be made. The LLVMIR issue mentioned above is one of them. But also, why do we have to rely on a code emitter at all? In development mode, the type checker should be incremental, synchronous, and fast...but the code emitter could be relatively slow as long as it is asynchronously coupled to the type checker.

But relentlessly pursuing the path of compiler performance can be a bad route to take, because it invariably leads to stagnation in compiler capabilities. I'd gladly accept a 10x increase in `opt-level=3` compile times if it meant 10% faster runtime performance. I'd gladly accept a 10x increase in `opt-level='z'` compile times if it meant a 50% decrease in binary sizes. We can't get to those capabilities if those possibilities are squashed by concerns about compile times.

It's common for people to say https is only for shops or site with logins, but if you can modify an http only site that might normally only show plain text articles, you can make it show fake payments, fake logins and malware downloads to steal data.
Iraq’s population went from 23.5 million in 2000 to almost ~40 million in 2020 that’s the opposite of genocide. China on the other hand is using mass detention, sterilization, forced abortion, and IUD’s to cut Uighur‘s drastically below the replacement birth rates.

Meanwhile “it encourages some of the country’s Han majority to have more children.” https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/china-cuts-uighur-...

“They gave Omirzakh, the penniless wife of a detained vegetable trader, three days to pay a $2,685 fine for having more than two children.

If she didn’t, they warned, she would join her husband and a million other ethnic minorities locked up in internment camps — often for having too many children.“

Of note a significant number of couples must have 3 children to maintain the population as some children die or never have children of their own. But, again that’s just one policy they are doing many other things which all add up.
Yes, agreed fully. This is a good example of what I meant by the language being a factor :)
Right, which is why it's a poor choice for the kernel at this time.
I don't personally find a need for digital voice communications on HAM. Analog is perfectly fine. You get much more reliability and stability from analog voice. There's not really a rush to move away from it, especially on HF. Digital voice unless in a stable environment or with multiple expensive tower sites, you'll be dropping packets and not be able to either make out a conversation as you get scambled robot voices, or simply dont decode it at all. Analog, you can still pick voices out of deep noise and some people are very very good at analog low signal reception with their ears/brain in combination with the receiver. It's also nearly impossible to get huge bandwidth rates on HF with major fading and unpredictable communications.

Non-voice digital modes are certainly innovating especially on HF, picking out signals well below the noise floor.
Taking the author's advice, does anyone have a link to the study the author cites about the buffet line?
Snake case, but it's entirely subjective.
Woke up early to see if I can spot the comet..but couldn’t. I was able to see Venus and Mars tho’ ..and our Moon. Earlier last week ..at night, I saw Saturn and Jupiter and three moons.

It’s very thrilling! Hope to catch the comet and maybe get some photos. This can be viewed with the naked eye..so fingers crossed for the timing.
The buffet analogy is interesting, but flawed in the sense that:

1. your selections don't radically change what the buffet offers in real time like, say, Google search.

and

2. Unless you take pains to anonymize, your buffet options are already skewed to support your biases, say to starches.

My wife and I will research the same topic at the same time on our respective workstations and get radically different results. The internet echo chamber feeds back two very different experiences, side by side (Never mind what happens when I fire up a non-US VPN)

One of us adds a single negative keyword to their search phrase and the results are dishearteningly dystopic. Coworkers who rely on Facebook for their daily dose of tribal information have an extremely different set of 'facts' for any topic I care to mention.

What I find most disturbing about this is that few people can/will take the time to compare notes across tribal or socioeconomic divides in a meaningful way -- we're all consuming a different buffet and its becoming more difficult by the minute to be sure of the chefs and suppliers.
Allocating resources that way is only feasible if a superior authority has the power to handle it, e.g. the central government within a country.

There is no such authority internationally and no country and no government will accept to miss out and let needed drugs/equipments go somewhere else.

Those served first will be the one with the production capability and money.
