I'm guessing GitHub's contribution insights sort of gave you this impression.

https://github.com/passbolt/passbolt_api/graphs/contributors

What I'm working on are developer insights and I've found the most intuitive way to look at contributions is to sort them by latest commits.

With this type of display, you can quickly see who is contributing on an active basis, and for how long. A good example would be the vscode repository.

Here you can see a lot of developers have been contributing on a steady basis for quite some time.
deep work != skilled work

Experienced software engineers are skilled at creating and maintaining systems, not writing code. That skill is way more valuable than sitting in a quiet dark place to sling code.
Did they burn them with the drivers inside? If not, how is that comparable to killing and dismembering a human being?

I used those controls to disable all data collection, but doubleclick still targets ads at me.

The controls do not work.
All the time. My town's sewers are chock full of dead bodies. The parks and rec department are busy clearing them out, they got 'em working in shifts!
I think your assessment of her opinions is correct, but again, I think this is something that most people believe. It's widely acknowledged that it's rude to go up to a trans woman and say "hey you are not a woman", but the idea that there's no material difference between trans women and cis women is not widely accepted.
> What's funny is that your reaction is that, "All current truths are absolute truths so any deviation from that is false and wrong."

I don't think I said anything even remotely close to that? Please don't put words in my mouth.

> And, again, as Paul mentioned, we know throughout time that things we have considered absolutely true were false, how different is the current age?

I'm afraid this is all a bit abstract for me. Perhaps reifying the discussion will help us come to a more agreeable conclusion. Can you share an example of a person who has been cancelled solely for making a fact claim?
That’s only the case if the business chooses to only make [insert product here] available on iOS.
It's not the first time that pg alludes to "what you can't say". It would be nice if he could at least outline what it is that he believes he's not allowed to say. Otherwise the discussion remains exceedingly abstract. Furthermore, some may assume the worst of whatever he had in mind that "can't be said"
It was my understanding that most "fakes" come out of the same factories as the originals. So Cisco orders 1000 switches, but the factory has a secret midnight shift that assembles another 500 that go out the back door. It would take pretty tight supply chain controls to make sure that this isn't happening. As a consumer you wouldn't really care since you're getting the same product.
Yeah your right. I am sure it was his personality cult that managed to bring SpaceX to fruition.
Are you actually their marginal customer though -- as in are you going to buy one of their competitors with high chance?

If so, then can you talk about which names you like more and they can do better. If you weren't in the market to begin with, then it might not matter for them.
And yet this is the most debated thread of this post. Very telling. The news folks are sending the messages the HN crowd falls for (just like the rest).
Selective quote, much? The very next sentence is,

"Some criticized the theory that Ngor was killed in a bungled robbery, pointing to $2,900 in cash which had been left behind and the fact that the thieves had not rifled his pockets."
His start up?

Wasn't just his company - bike sharing was banned in the state without warning. Also, commercial bike operations were banned on major roads and completely in some cities.

Following Lagos state, neighboring states immediately announced bans, telling the ride sharing companies not to come over.

Bike ride sharing companies were forced to rebrand as dispatchers. The bikes however must have delivery boxes fitted on the bikes else - the bikes would be seized.
True, but if an objective party was reporting on this, I think they would mention that it was in fact a thief taking such precautions, rather than a non-descript local resident.
Thank you! We were actually originally founded in Geneva, so we're working on it :)
That's how most things work though? You can't "appropriate" a word for political purposes, when the root word is political in the first place.

A conservative is someone who thinks they're a conservative, a centrist is someone who thinks they are a centrist. Other people can try to label you one way or another, but ultimately, you decide what you are. It's inherently self-referential.

> "a Jew is someone who thinks they're a Jew" (this is somewhat less incorrect)

But that's not incorrect at all, that is exactly how it works in real life. "A Christian is someone who believes they're a Christian", is a wholly true statement. Just as, "an atheist is someone who believes they are an atheist".

There's a bunch of these statements of identity that are, effectively, 100% self referential. No one can tell you who you are, ultimately you have to decide that for yourself.

> Maybe it's easier to see the absurdity if you consider a non-politicized version

It's not. Even in a non-political, meaningless context, it's 100% equally as self-referential.

Ask HN: What do you think the future of remote work will look like post-Covid?
There's been a lot of talk about San Francisco and other tech hubs essentially becoming abandoned as their tech workers all go remote and move to better cost of living areas.

In the same light, some major tech companies and many startups are pivoting to make remote work software to help the transition.

However, most of those tech companies don't have a long term Remote policy except for very special cases like high performers and so on.

How will the future of remote work look for ICs/Managers? How do you think cities will be effected, if at all?

Is there really going to be a remote work revolution, or are we just saying that because we're all stuck in our homes until COVID is eliminated?
You're technically right, but the argument that "given otherwise identical circumstances, white people are less oppressed than black people" (or whatever) has the issues that a) "otherwise identical circumstances" almost never exist and b) this argument is often even being used when the otherwise circumstances are clearly not identical (I remember an online discussion where people were called out for criticising Beyoncé, who must have it really hard as a black woman - which, sure, she might have, but she's also crazy rich and a prominent media figure, so she also has privilege; and then again, even not having privilege doesn't mean you should be immune to criticism).

I don't question the notion of privilege as much as how often it's applied to shut down dissenting opinion.

I just picked my iPhone up off the desk (where I keep it charging when using a computer) pulled down the shortcut screen and opened the pinned calculator app. Was roughly 2 seconds from thought to screen. Windows calculator just took me about that- press Windows button, type 'cal' press return, actual launch basically instantaneous. Mac would be analogous to Windows.
This is not true and does not reflect the volume and metric of news. China is treated extremely gently for such gross human rights abuses. I grant that Americans could still be hysterical about them, but then why would Russia be mentioned say 5:1 more in the news than them? Are we hysterical hysterical about them then?
@ YeGoblynQueenne Although I am in the US, my Greek heritage dragged me back to Athens every summer. For me it was a magical place where I spoke another language, drank funny tasting Tamtam instead of coke, traveled in blue colored busses crammed with people, women with unshaven armpits, the smell of bodies and tobacco, the taste of bougatsa the morning and souvlaki in the evening, the interminable afternoon nap that I could not bear, the lukewarm transparent sea lapping at sandy beaches. In New Smyrna, I stayed with my grandparents and learned to live with other people in the same building. It made living in a dorm later at university less strange. But the most memorable thing about the apartment buildings was that every one was different, unique - like people. At home I lived in a suburb - thousands of copies of the same houses that came in 1 of 4 styles. I was an anonymous child in both places but the home in Greece was less lonely. And there I could walk everywhere but here my mother would have to drive me. That part of discovering the 'world' was more real for me in Greece - being in the town , walking to the market, stopping in the town's central plaza for an orange juice while sitting under a tree. The 'data' I gathered felt more impactful - the closest I felt to that was later in high school when I went to NYC for an event or in college when I went to events in Boston. Today, I think we as Americans would benefit by compulsory time abroad in high school and college. If our government required and paid for all high school students and college students to go abroad for some time at 'world school' , it would cure us of the xenophobia that we see in our leader today who plucks at those anxieties in us, like picking at a wound. For me, Greece was a blessing.
That's the way the term is understood by people trying to understand politics. The definition I was responding to is a partisan smear used only by a particular political demographic[1] who think "identity politics" is a kind of thought control.

It's true that the latter is more specific. I don't see how that makes it better.

[1] See? Identity politics at work. You don't seriously think no one targets libertarians via the same tricks, do you? You're literally falling for one in this very thread by discounting the discourse of "centrist political scientists" in favor of your in-group's spin. So when your in-group tells you to vote for someone, who are you going to believe? Them or the crazy centrists and their warped understanding of the evils of "identity politics?"
It happens to my posts here every now and then whenever I say something that doesn’t make the CCP look good.

To be honest, I think the Chinese people are awesome and have a great culture that has given the world a lot. I am just extremely concerned about some of the crimes against humanity that the CCP does which are being normalized. Nevertheless, the USA is in the same boat, but when I am critical of our state my comments don’t get flagged.
German is a huge car manufactoring country. Wonder if they feel a bit of a threat from Tesla on certain points and wish to control their inner markets.

On the other hand, Tesla doesn't come close to driving an Audi, BMW or MB. Neither tech-wise. It might be the choice for the nerd or the socalled envitonmentalist, but for people that don't have time for reloading batteries all the time, it's a toy car.

Credit Karma being a Foreign Data Collection scheme makes no sense. They are in the process of being acquired by Intuit, unless you think that Intuit is also tied to Foreign countries too, which would make even less sense.
Just because one of the founders happens to be of Chinese descent does not automatically make a company a foreign spying tool.

I came here to ask whether your typical Fortran program would carry the coding security risks that Rust is designed to mitigate; I couldn't think of any. Your comment seems to confirm my doubts.

I agree in principle that there is not single tool for every possible situation.

At the same time I witnessed hundreds of cases when developers spent inappropriate amount of time developing "abstractions into application layer" instead of the business logic.
Those air cooled units with the heat pipes are effectively heat pumps, and heat pumps are crazy efficient at cooling. They rely on evaporative cooling, which soaks up substantially more energy, so much so that it's possible to to get temperatures noticeably below ambient using the method.

Converting water to steam takes about (from the top of my head) 5x more energy than it takes to increase it by one degree. I imagine the coolant used in these heat sinks is at least this efficient, if not more, and is something that evaporates well below 100°C.

If heat sinks were like using cars and roads to transport people. A water cooled setup would be like expanding the size of the roads to increase the number of cars that can transport people. While those heat pipe coolers are like replacing cars with trains, so you can do a lot more the same amount of space.

Hey, the Chirr App author here!

I released the initial version of the app in 2017 as a free and open-source tool (https://github.com/kossnocorp/chirrapp) even before Twitter threads become a thing.

Later that year, Twitter gave me a lot of trouble when they added 280-chars support but didn't update API and the twitter-text library. I was about to close it, but thanks to Firebase, the running cost was $0, so I fixed the issues and kept it alive.

With time, the app accumulated authority and users. Since 2017 when I first launched the app, it has been used by 9.5K people to publish 22K threads and 330K tweets! Happy users started coming to me with thanks and features requests more and more so I decided to rewrite the app and added tons of new features, like:

- Drag-n-drop images

- Editing published threads (yes, the edit button!)

- Drafts

- Scheduling

- And much more!

In case if anyone curious, the app is built with TypeScript, Preact, on top Firebase platform.
Mint's default image viewer is called Pix. I tried looking up a crash/bug I was getting... it's basically impossible to search for.
I still don't know what some developers are thinking when they name things.
That would be believeable if all lives matter didn't get thrown around by the same people who say blue lives matter and who systematically refuse to take action on police violence that affects everyone.

You don't counter protest a movement you agree with because you dislike it's semantics. You use semantics as an excuse to ignore a movement that ultimately makes you uncomfortable. MLKs letter from a Birmingham jail being ever relevant.

What are the second order effects? What's this "complex reality" you're living in? VSCode gives you a log of every telemetry event it sends, none contain PII (if they do that'd be a serious issue and should be reported) and it provides a settings page to list and opt-out of every online service (including telemetry).
> Orthodoxy is not just a numbers game---you also have to factor in reach and institutional support (but I repeat myself).

Reach, sure. That's the nature of social media. Can you name an institution that includes "cancel culture" among its principles? I don't think any (American) institution, public or private, practices what paulg is complaining about.

I can think of plenty of institutions that encourage boycotting and isolation as political tactics; labeling these as "cancel culture" is, well, telling.
I recommend you work with school districts and find way to integrate your product as a "virtual recess" that gets tacked on to one or more classes during the day.

I think parents will respond better to "virtual recess" than "after party" :-P
No idea, but I can't sit here and pretend that every drug abusing/poor person/different race/what ever gets reported on. And that every single gruesome murder gets reported on.

Cause there is fair too much evidence both historically and current to say that is not the case.
Tiger Lake has Thunderbolt 4. It's the same speed as Thunderbolt 3 so most people won't notice the difference anyway.
So sorry to hear that - the more we have read about the post viral issues from SARs, ebola and the 'spanish flu', the more we see that there are a huge number of people affected in very different ways. For the first 3 months we totally felt disbelieved by doctors and even some friends - 'are you sure it isn't just anxiety?'.

Slowly doctors are realising that while the majority do recover, a not insignificant group will be affected for a lager period of time. Total guess but even if the number of long term cases is the same as those that die, and if on average they can't work for 6 months (conservative) then the economic impacts on those people and their families can be huge.

I really hope you see light at the end of the tunnel and take it easy.
Remember the 11" Macbook Air? It's pretty light, and it'd be lighter without the aluminum.

>People do lose gigs, have talks cancelled, have book contracts dropped, shows demonetised, and so on because of mob reaction, or because of some angry special interest group, or because of some vocal bloggers, or whatever.

Does it matter whether the reason for the "cancellation" came from a mob, or only what the reason actually is?

If a group of crazy incoherent people get a Nazi cancelled by shouting "they're a Nazi!", and the person really is a Nazi, does it matter that they're a bit crazy and incoherent?
Your hypothesis assumes he did it calmly.
You can disable e2e on your server if you wish so. The option already exists in Synapse and it is part of Element Matrix Services customers.

For those who are legally required to be on record, there are other ways to keep track of the conversations for audit purposes without compromising the e2e encryption. For example, every room could have an audit bot invited by default, visible by the users, and which would record everything being said. Then you can setup the access to the logs from the audit bot to only be unencrypted in certain conditions, e.g. if the 2 halves of a key giving access to the account are put together. It's secure, clear for the users and legally compliant.

> a user should still be able to block communications from another user using a button in the app

Adding to this - when you do act, your ban should be that all users are effectively blocking this user, ie a shadow ban.

That way the bad user, to themselves, still seems to be interacting with the site, just nobody else seems to care.
It probably wouldn't have affected my work at all. We were running our code as a monolith - it was the only thing that ran on any given machine, and its output was stored on a large filesystem on NFS.

That's not to say there isn't someone out there with this concern :)
If you're an optimist, there is the view that neither side of the Cold War wanted to die. Excluding the truly religious people who believe that dying and going to heaven is better than being alive, most people want to avoid their own deaths. When politicians believed they could send soldiers off to kill without risking their own lives, they started wars. But since ICBMs meant than starting a ground war against a nuclear power put the leaders at risk, the leaders chose relative peace and deescalated when possible.
Keep American jobs for Americans! ;)

However, perhaps they just couldn't get the right killer at the right price? Or maybe they're scarcer than you think? We keep hearing immigrants are taking American jobs, but in reality they're taking the jobs no American would take in the first place, so this may be more simple supply/demand...

This resonates with me. I sometimes used to have similar arguments about some forwarded messages with my late father, who was an electronics engineer and really sharp in his prime.

Intuitively it'd seem that the greater dissemination of information with social media and messaging apps would make people smarter and promote critical thinking, but in reality they seem to have the opposite effect. I still keep wondering if it's the environment or his age that was the primary factor. Do we become more gullible and less discerning as we grow older?. Perhaps I'll be much worse when I'll be as old as he was.

The security platform is vulnerable in that minor modifications to the original device would permit loading of non-genuine boot images; the fact that the counterfeits used the same vulnerability to make it look like they were loading a genuine boot image on counterfeit hardware doesn't change that.

The platform is vulnerable because this is a condition that the designers intended to engineer against - it's vulnerable in the sense that Sony's PS2 platform turned out to be vulnerable to circumvention with modchips.
