You're presuming I'm american. I'm a brit and only heard about the 1619 project an hour ago here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24262679.

Regarding the quote, I don't entirely see the problem. I mean the consequences of slavery have not been fully appreciated (are they taught in US schools in depth?).

> "the contributions of black Americans"

In your view, have such contributions by black americans been fully recognised? Because if they are the 1619 project is redundant, if they have not then perhaps 1619 has a valid purpose.

From what you've posted, the 1619 project may be flawed but it doesn't come across as "indoctrination and "install[ing] ideology" as the original poster said in the above link.
Mmm Naan Pizzas are good
- Its an alternative download solution

- There is no rate limiting for paid accounts or companies from what I see in the article.
> claiming that any company who decides to operate in China is compromised

This, honestly, is the correct approach. For example, it's hard to see otherwise why the NBA is banning anyone affiliated with them from supporting Hong Kong.
The feedback I have heard has mostly been great, it is described as costly but worth the money at the same time.
How is this weird? A country of law and order and checks and balances rightly allows orders like this to be contested.

India, used as the example, has a very flawed democracy and a high degree of corruption.

EDIT: LOL, downvoted to oblivion by the HN India contingent. As provided elsewhere, India's democratic and corruption rankings are mediocre.
RC.d Belongs in Libexec, Not etc.
That's exactly the philosophy we follow e.g. in particle physics and its a common excuse to dismiss all guidelines made in the article.
However, this kind of validation/falsification is often done between different research groups (maybe using different but formally equivalent approaches) while people within the same group have to deal with the 10 years old code base.

I myself had very bad experience with extending the undocumented Fortran 77 code (lots of gotos and common blocks) of my supervisor. Finally, I decided to rewrite the whole thing including my new results instead of just somehow embedding my results into the old code for two reasons: (1) I'm presumably faster in rewriting the whole thing including my new research rather than struggling with the old code and (2) I simply would not trust in the numerical results/phenomenology produced by the code.
After all, I'm wasting 2 months of my PhD for the marriage of my own results with known results which -in principle- could have been done within one day if the code base would allow for it.

So yes, If it's a one-man-show I would not give too much on code quality (though unit tests and git can safe quite a lot of time during development) but if there is a chance that someone else is going to touch the code in near future it will save time to your colleagues and improve the overall (scientific) productivity.

PS: quite excited about my first post here
How do you do leverage these strengths? I have a somewhat similar profile and I simply feel like a fish judged by its ability to climb a tree.

Yet, I:

- Help with hiring/marketing/leading scrum sessions (when the actual scrum master is ill)

- Conduct pentests

- Do the frontend and backend (what I was hired to do)

If they'd let me, I'd help with the writing efforts as well as my writing ability is better than that of the average developer, if I have to believe my grades on any report in any degree that I did (game studies, psychology and CS).

The secret intelligence services in your country are not working for you or your safety, and this is not a secret. If you believe so you have not been following the news the last thirty years (before that they had a scape goat for their behaviour).

Ask HN: How can we solve politics?
I don’t know if peer review already does this, but it seems simple to solve politics if we had one place to list all points.

The hard part is getting the other side to acknowledge and really understand the points of the opposing side.

Twitter is a shouting match. Hotness algorithms black hole discussions in Reddit and HN comments.

1. List all points from both sides.

2. Force both sides to acknowledge all points of the other side.

3. Respond to all points.

4. Acknowledge all responses.

5. Respond to all responses.

6. Repeat.

We should be tracking whether each side has acknowledged points from the other side.

For every issue, we should have a list of latest responses to points.

Why isn’t it easy for us to see where the experts disagree for an issue?

Discussions usually start from the root and go down 2 or 3 levels before hitting a wall.

When everyone knows where to go to see who’s ignoring what, both sides will be pressured to answer.
> is like having a problem with existence itself.

To be fair, I'm sure there are more than a few people who feel like this.
The stackexchange sites get questions like "hey, I am using Kali because all the cool hackers use it, but my Wifi hardware doesn't work, and I cannot install my favorite browsers, what should I do?" from absolute newbies about every week or so.
> Don't think about what you want to be, but what you want to do.

I would agree, as long as we differentiate between "'what' you want to be" and "'how' you want to be." I'd say that "what" is a function of other people and their evaluation of you---in the "what" category are "famous," "respected," "talented," "recognized," etc. Chasing these is vain.

But "'how' I want to be" is completely internal, and I don't rely on the approval of others for them: I want to be "disciplined," "thoughtful," "kind," "honest," etc. These are worth chasing, even though technically they do not deal what "what you want to 'do'" and could be construed to conflict with Feynman's thoughts (though I think they don't really).

What is a solution for the scenarios you have described? Amazon has ECR but it doesn’t support signing and doesn’t function as a proxy so you would miss upstream changes unless someone pushed them. Anything self hosted that supplies that functionality?
This is an excellent point. Trying to find out if docker build --pull without an accompanying blob download will trigger the rate limiter.

If it does, then this will definitely be a reason to riot. It will effectively mean that anyone who wants to do more than 200 builds every 6 hours using the "right" way will have to get a docker pro subscription.

> Are people really writing DAWs and big desktop app interfaces in Unity?

Arguably the biggest non-game applications are in virtual cinematography, architectural visualization, non-game simulations, and immersive art installations. Most of those uses don't result in discrete "apps", though, they're just workflows within Unity designed to produce a specific type of output.

One prominent example of a discrete pro app made from Unity, though, is Digital Monarch Media's filmmaking toolsuite, which is built on Unity.[1] But it fills some unusual hardware and interface needs that Unity is built, or has plugins, to provide (touchscreen interfaces, motion tracking, color grading).

That said, I see non-game apps in the vein of content creation or productivity pop up more frequently now in Godot development than Unity. There are some proof-of-concepts, like the Godello[2] Trello clone that was posted here a while back, but more useful examples are Pixelorama[3], an open-source pixel-art editor built with Godot, and Heavypaint[4], a painting/sketching app.

Your average HN reader has probably seen enough articles posted here about vitamin D deficiency that we are in fact the perfect audience to read about the dangers of taking too much of it.
This is also why processes are often not transferable, because the people are different.

Better leaders are always taking stock of what they have or don't have and reorienting the process rather than trying to stuff the new team into the old process.
Back when they were not closed for pandemic I met a number of YC folks in the second floor area. They have established a gofundme to try and bridge their expense gap during Covid.

> A lot of buildings used in rural areas definitely aren't aesthetic pleasing, massive industrial buildings where the primary concern is build cost.

It's always nicer when things look, well, nice, but the core of the aesthetic is purpose: a thing with a purpose, that fulfills its purpose, is beautiful. An endless field of wheat or corn, a massive concrete grain silo, and an array of windmills all have a purpose which they are exquisitely performing, and so they are beautiful.

(One of my favorite instantiations of the farm aesthetic is the multi-generational farm, with some buildings that are post and beam or stone, some that are cinder block, some that are sheet metal, etc. Each building was simply built according to what was the cheapest vernacular construction technique of the time, but the combination conveys a sense of continuation beyond the simple permanence of an old structure. This farm was fulfilling its purpose generations ago, and will continue to do so for generations still. It is not static; it is living and changing.)
This top-level post is mostly incorrect. A linux distribution is incredibly flexible and stable if optimized for such. It is a simple task to build in exactly what is needed from the ground up from stable "LTS" sources, and nothing else. To configure for near-realtime responsiveness rather than throughput is trivial as well. That's why it scales from embedded devices to PCs to supercomputers. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24260635

For hard realtime requirements, QNX is/was often used.

Splitting off all non-critical operations to isolated nodes is best practice.
Emacs is bloated, nano all the way :)
It will be profitable. The selling shareholders will dump their stock into the market and make big profits.

Can you expand on the context behind this picture? In particular what is this flag exactly, it seems like a mash-up between the Chinese flag and a communist flag but I'm not sure what is the exact implication here.

EDIT: oh that's the flag of the Chinese communist party: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Communist_Party

For some reason I expected that they would just use the Chinese flag itself, since there's no plurality.
Hah! But great work otherwise then. But did it start out as a hobby, or was it entirely planned as a business?
I've been taking 5000IU per day for YEARS. I just recently started taking K2 100mcg every other day. I've seen countless family doctors and neurologists over the years with this information, and none of them ever said it was high. I live near Portland, OR where you don't see blue skies from November - March. However I get abundant amounts of sun each day when the sun is out during spring/summer/autumn. Getting tested is not an option right now (covid mitigation), so should I taper back to maybe 5000IU every 3 days?

Work can't just be optional (as part of a trade off for food etc) because a lot of society in the US at least thinks it's a moral problem to just give people food, clothing, shelter even if we are better off avoiding starving people without homes (and it's a moral necessity but that doesn't seem to compel people). Look at the political situation here, people would be angry at the idea that you give 'other people' free stuff, somehow ignoring whether social security and medicare for senior citizens are free stuff. The fact that we don't trust "the other" means at least in the US giving people basics that we can provide almost for free it would be wrenching to society.
If the plan was to build a new "traditional style" building, would the fact that a wheelchair ramp breaking the style/appeal of the building be a reason to bypass accessibility requirements?
> if you see this as support, you can say that Apple is supporting Chinese totalitarian regime too.

sure, I'm ok with that
While I see that this research is aimed at leadership positions and this must surely be a problem, I feel obligated to point out that the issue of burnout could be an even worse problem in non-leadership positions.

It seems that a lot of the suggested solutions (take time off, be more honest about your emotions, etc.) are necessarily things that are difficult to do for people who are not in management positions. Requesting long blocks of time off or being forthcoming about your emotions are easily things that can be used against you in employee reviews and other similar situations.

In cases of severe burnout, the situation is more dire since people earning a lower salary might simply not be able to step back from work to take a year off, for example (something that was suggested by another poster here).
FreePascal comes to mind.

And is also doable with Go, D, Rust, Java, .NET, just someone does need to write the FFI code.
> India, used as the example, has a very flawed democracy

How come?
The building is ready to use as is. Nothing needs to be constructed.
Genuinely curious. You insist a VCS is not how the industry operates. But then how do those AAA devs manage synchronizing changes across a team of several hundreds of people? I imagine there must be some equivalent to VCS that better fits the gamedev indurstry. Or are people just throwing flash drives around the office?
One thing that bothers me, is that research (as skeptical as I am of social sciences right now) seems to suggest that "ego resources" don't exist. However burn out does exist.

Therefore it's hard to reconcile and find a balance between "I can push myself a little more, I'm just unmotivated" and "I need to switch off right now or I'll burn out"
This goes in the other direction too: other fields can and should borrow ideas from game programming. At the end of the day the goals of different software projects are pretty comparable: we all want to produce quality code, minimize bugs and do it as quickly and productively as we can. The details and trade-offs aren't identical, to be sure, but at the end of the day different programming fields are far more alike than not.
>>> For fiscal 2018, 2019, and 2020, our revenue was $67.8 million, $103.6 million, and $155.1 million

The revenues are good and increasing, but the losses, omg.

Not for a guy. Plus you can marry girls like 3-7 years younger.
We all are extraordinary actually. Human race is in a continuous evolution, so absolutely any of us is an extraordinary person compared with 2000 years ago great minds. A high-school student is better educated then Pythagoras for example.

Conversely, even the greatest minds of today (Hawking, Einstein, etc) will be below high-school kids of the future.
It's a wide question, and I don't have a good answer. One obvious difference is the syntax. I prefer Python's syntax over Nim's, but at the same time I find Python slow sometimes and hard to use in embedded systems. I'm aiming to create something similar to Nim's toolchain to address that.
I mean I don’t personally experience the emotion of irony in relation to that state-of-affairs.

Like, if one were to tell a tale of some non-mainstream Christian commune which gave free healthcare to neighboring cities and then one day one of the commune members went to a hospital in a neighboring city and they charged that member a massive hospital bill, that would similarly not generate that feeling of irony.

I don’t mean to say that the US is a tremendous beacon of light in all respects, but we do have this principle that everyone can have their day in court and in some respects that is one wavelength of light which we are a beacon of, and it is not terribly surprising that we cast this light out to a world which does not cast it back to us. (As you might see, in other respects I think that ‘beacon’ is quite problematic. None of my Dutch relatives are looking over at the US and saying ‘you know what the Netherlands needs? More lawsuits!’ But it does give a certain access to structures of power which in China one is often impotent to actually access.)
Facebook willingly pulled out of China because it was not willing to comply with Chinese laws surrounding disinformation and hate speech.

It is not even a remotely similar situation.
No $PATH, but there is %PATH%.

Also, installing dos stuff in C:\DOS is what people generally did. I'm pretty sure it could be anywhere in the path.

Jonny (one of the report co-authors) here, thanks for sharing this—I entirely agree that normalising this conversation around mental health is essential, yet often requires courage to do so, especially in a work context. Yet, as our research illustrated, you are very much not alone in experiencing pre-existing mental health challenges that were amplified by the events of 2020.

re: 'telling the difference between work burnout vs. residual issues from a traumatic history', this is a nuanced topic but from the perspective of your nervous system, there really isn't a difference—the emotional debt (which could also be labelled as 'micro-trauma') that accumulates doesn't neatly distinguish between work + life as we have a tendency to do (the RED framework in the report was our attempt to describe this process in more detail).

Taking an initial 4-week break is really important step—I would encourage you not to commit (at this point) with a date for when you will return but see how the coming weeks unfold. It's also critical to seek help during the recovery process, ideally from someone trained in a form of therapy that addresses the body (Somatic Experiencing Therapy being a good example). Did you notice the [Resilience Wiki](http://resilient.wiki/) that we've started towards the end of the report? Hopefully some of those resources are useful. Also, please feel free to get in touch directly: jonnymiller[at]mac.com
I think we pretty much agree on everything then.

My only complain about autocxx remains that it does not require `unsafe`, but if they adopt the same fix that the `cxx` crate wants to adopt, that complain is gone. I hope the Chromium devs would be "ok" with such a small amount of unsafe code that condenses the proofs of all APIs being wrapped.

We kind of tossed aside the discussion of unsafe vs safe macros, but I'd understand some people see that differently (macros expand Rust code, but IMO they are not that different from generics, and we do have safe and unsafe generics; right now, AFAICT, we only have safe macros).
I would add that it’s also seemingly within the grasp of a city council. Economic hubs will naturally emerge for reasons outside the control of local government, and once established, local government can’t always succeed in sustaining them (eg Detroit) if the private industries there struggle.

There are counterexamples to this, but mainly as a result of national and not local policy (Shenzhen, Wolfsburg).

Another interesting example of an industry that local governments can influence is filmmaking. Georgia and Vancouver both have huge amounts of film and TV production due to local policies.
This book list may not contain a lot of favorites that I've seen mentioned on HN in the past. Previous lists such as tptacek's suggested reading list definitely do not have entries in here.

It seems to be a mixed bag of technical, historical reference, and some inspirational/fiction material (e.g. Neuromancer).

So, I came across this site while I was skimming through a Palo Alto study guide to their PCCSA[0]. I had found it neat that they published materials for certificate students for free, and so I continued searching their site for more PDFs.

(quick note: certificate merit has been debated many times on HN[1])

After coming across another guide PA had composed for management-level decisionmakers[2] I found this site through a series of links.

One of the books from this list that I really like is Security Engineering. I found it odd that they don't have it categorized under any of their technical filters. They do give a brief overview of their reasoning for listing it here[3].

The industry jargon for that building style is:
