I don't like the multi-finger gestures on the magic mouse/ mac trackpad. I almost never have anything more than two fingers on the top of my mouse, and the effort of pulling the third finger up and adjusting my grip to do a gesture is not worth the time saved vs doing whatever action by moving the mouse around. My favourite, though, is the MX Master - the "gesture" button that you can hold and move the mouse to do gestures is extremely easy to use. does not require any additional hand movement, and can be mapped to anything you please. The gesture button has turned me from preferring the keyboard to just one handing with the mouse when I don't need to type. That the Master mouse also has two additional buttons and a horizontal scroll wheel is just the cherry on top.
It is not about what is better, but what the company considers to be better; it is not the employee's decision, the company may simply decide that raising CEO's bonus or the dividends is the best. The comment was not advocating this, just telling how it happens in the real world.
I work in games where these values are extremely common and 'accuracy' wouldn't be very descriptive in a lot of circumstances: explosion radius falloff damage, water flow strength, positional/rotational lerps or easing, and more.

I wish I were commenting here with an answer, but I don't have one. "brightness01" is a common naming convention for values of this type in computer graphics programming, but niche enough that it got raised in review comments by another gameplay programmer.

We are a team of ~50 software engineers and about the same amount of non-engineering staff. We have a quarterly performance review. It starts from setting goals at the beginning of the quarter. Then we have a home-brewed CRM-like system to enter accomplishments, nominate peers, giving reviews and feedback and finally grading.

Then managers talking to their reports, discussing results, giving and receiving feedback.

Grades are from 2 to 5, greater is better. Normal grade is 4, it gives a bonus of 1/2 of monthly salary. 5 is 1 monthly salary and 3 is 1/4 of monthly salary. Our compensations are on market, so we ended up better compensated even after grade "3".

Two 5's in a row is an occasion to talk about promotion. Two 3's is a reason to talk about leaving the company.

That's about it, the whole process takes about two weeks, most of the time in a grade calibration process.

The government of China funds the so-called 50 Cent Army [1] of paid internet trolls to modify the content of discussion across the internet. Russia does the same.

However in China specifically has implement decades of so-called 'patriotic education' and holds a tight grip on information through the Great Firewall of China.

Nationalist sentiment among products of that education (and censorship) system is very high, so it's not suprising when criticism of China gets voted down by normal people who don't receive financial compensation.

I recently wrote some comments that are contrarian in respect to this topic.

Frankly, my perspective is that the HN hive mind just downvotes anything that does not toes the US line (there are also upvotes obviously, but other topics don't elicit such knee jerk reactions).

It's really stifling discourse. I wouldn't mind it that much, if the current cold/trade war wouldn't have real world effects (and obviously, I hope it won't degenerate into a different kind of war)

Except there's not much your Porsche engineers can do about fundamental physics.

The possibility to kill yourself in a Porsche still exists, the only thing stopping you are the ESC/DSC systems which are, in all likelyhood, not made by Porsche anyway but OEM from someone like Bosch.

Turn off the ESC and given the opportunity physics will still remind you who's boss in the Porsche.
Yet another ‘K-shaped’ recovery data point
A lot of US companies - including pretty much every US retail chain - source products in China.
The US has a long history of hypocrisy and has its share of shameful actions, but equating it to China is just ludicrous.

That said, there a lot of countries that have their own issues with authoritarianism, persecution of minorities, privacy violations, etc and they have a partner in China that is willing to look the other way for profit. It's going to be difficult for an increasingly weak US to force those countries to isolate a cheap source of goods to placate their masses.
By application of rules 34 and 63, I expect somewhere someone's written an exploration of floral country matters[1] in women's clothing?

Soviet schoolgirls wore white floral bantiki in their hair:

https://imgprx.livejournal.net/0af2ae4db14dd86858b9319de7e6b... (note the social distancing sign!)

and at some point I learned of a russian berry or floret with a spherical form that was white while immature but turned red when ripe, which had made me wonder about traditional peasant costume colour codings.

[1] and their promises of sweet nothings? (for which "hunter green" floral dresses might be recommended: as with slobber from fifteen hand hunters, it's a colour well suited to hiding grass stains.) Compare https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24130589

3 years ago that would have been me you were describing. Between HK and minorities and coronavirus (and 8 other things) its time to take action now.
I don't understand; you quote the reference to the footnote but haven't read it?
The pandemic has stopped. Sure, there are more and more infected people, yet the hospital admissions are stale. It’s really hard to understand why governments that first reacted like there was no problem when the situation emerged and the virus was totally unknown are now acting like it’s a deadly threat when the data clearly shows it’s only a real issue in aged population. Sure taking precautions is good, imposing authoritarian sanitary rules is not.

At least in France the situation is clearly being used to control opposition, which was strong before the pandemic since the government tried to push a lot of economic reforms. Now, the economy was purposely destroyed there, so harsher reforms will be imposed and people will be really angry when they’ll discover the lockdown was not needed (for the record, I live in Japan where there was no lockdown and things went totally fine). The sanitary rules will be used to control those revolts too. The fact it is a political only move was made super clear when the government allowed huge demonstrations that mimicried BLM in June.
For my personal carry, the overarching question is: pliers, or no pliers.

For years and years, it was pliers. Last decade, no pliers.

When I had the pliers, I used them all. the. time.

But without them, I very seldom miss them. I don't have a good explanation for this, that's just how it is.
I don't know. It's not as easy to set up as Whatsapp, where you just need your phone number and everything else "just works", and doesn't have the added functionality of Discord, with custom emotes, voice and streaming and servers to effortlessly participate in multiple communities with their own separate channels. My family keeps messaging me on whatsapp because that's where all their friends are and they don't want to switch apps just to talk to me, and my friends are far more comfortable with our online hangout space being discord instead. Element is still rough as a client, and for my self-hosted homeserver I had to put in a couple hours to get video and voice calls working. Unless Matrix magically becomes 10x as polished within a couple years I don't see it becoming popular outside privacy enthusiasts.

>I don't see how Taiwan and the US are like-minded at all.

We can start with a shared adversary.

>It's funny how the US talks about moving manufacturing out of China, when their approach to Taiwan seems to be to bully them to build manufacturing plants in the US.

Honestly, I think the long-term plan here is relocating as much of Taiwan to the US as possible so that there's not that much left for the PRC to take in an invasion/annexation. That means everything short of actual physical territory, from people (scientific & industrial expertise) to patents, materiel, and industrial capacity.

Denying valuable personnel and equipment to the PRC could potentially be as significant as the advantage that the US gained over the Soviet Union from Operation Paperclip, where the US got the "best and brightest" Nazi scientists, and the Soviet Union got the leftovers.

I'm an Android Developer that works as an independent contractor, b2b, through my German company.

For clients outside Europe, I adjust my core working hours to the timezone of the team.

I'm open to both full-time and part-time opportunities.

Has there been an attempt to create an "one-IP-address-one-vote" cryptocurrency?

Huge advantage, no electricity waste.

Should allow for much larger transaction volume as well.
IP-address vote flows naturally since well we are still using IPv4 to communicate.

The only downside would be that there would be some big winners in Apple,MIT,US Postal Service that is anyone else with 8/block.

Countries like Chad with 4096 addresses for population of 10M would benefit much less but they would still be in the game.

That said, I think the PICO-8 ecosystem is a lot cooler than I made it sound :-)

EDIT, try watching this demo for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UR3MXKIefAI It's a demo, not a game, so not interactive and hence youtubeable. Tell me that isn't cool (and remember, it fits in is cartridge png).

omg that was the shittiest thing out there. So many accidental clicks.

Also, the magic mouse with it's horizontal gestures are insane. I don't understand how some people I know like it so much.

Apple trackpads are king :-) And I'd love to have a keyboard+trackpad combination, basically the bottom case of the macbook. Somehow the positioning of a separate keyboard and magic trackpad doesn't quite work.
I couldn’t use a Magic Mouse to save my life: less than two minutes of use invariably results in severe pain in the tendons on the back of my hand. Add a couple of minutes and the pain becomes excruciating.

If, after taking a look, you (or anyone) still have a question that's not answered there, I'd like to know what it is.
The Apple Pro Mouse -- the transparent bar of soap -- was basic but acceptable.
You actually do not answer the main question. The fact that you personally ware a tie to conform to the norm does not explain how the norm came to be. Instead you talk in random directions, ending with a nice athominem attack against the author.

Some notes:

waitresses and front house staff are not in position of power, and it actually aligns with the thesis of the author which mentions that ties are sexualizing women.

You say that the tie hides the buttons of the shirt, but there is already such a solution for trousers and why not reuse the concept?

You say that ties are good when eating soup. However, they are not all that effective in their current form, not used for this purpose for the last few hundred years, and there is no sense carying it around through the entire day the way cutlery is not part of the men's office dress code as well.

Where I'd agree with you is in doubting the mental jump necessary to discover sexual symbolism in something which might be just a counterweight to otherwise boring exterior.
The Magic Mouse is basically an RSI you can buy.
I've been really wanting to find something to help make this easier to do for the longest time. Its so hard nowadays to find a wide array of goods made in the US. I would love an Amazon-quality website that only sells things made in the US, or better yet, a "country of origin" label on Amazon itself. I would GLADLY pay more to buy things that are made here, just to support US businesses. However, I usually have to go scouring the comments on product listings looking for any information about where the thing I want to buy was actually made. It sucks..
The author obviously has no idea why email signing are there. And what he was proposing, a authorizing system, or white-list system has been there for quite a while but why it is not enabled by default? It creates more problems then the problems it resolves. Just imagine how it going to work if you need to send a legit email to someone for the first time. If you are going to need authorization to do it, How do you get that required authorization? By calling the recipient or send them a letter so that they can add you to the list? Then what the point to send email in the first place?
If someone were going to register a domain to use for e-mail, what would you recommend? Does the name chosen or TLD make a difference or is IP address the sole determinant of "reputation"? I imagine the situation is like with search, the filtering algorithms used are kept secret, probably because they are biased toward protecting or improving the company's revenues.
During my first few years as a professional I worked on COBOL systems. COBOL doesn’t have functions, only procedures (no parameters, no return values, everything come from the global state). People were writing horrible programs made of one giant procedure that would go for thousands of lines and crazy level of indentation.

Everything was done through a small terminal emulator for AS400, 24x80 characters. Every programs were copy pasted from other places.

I eventually found a way to transfer the file out via FTP then upload it back that way I could at least use vim and see what I was writing but I was alone doing that.

I’ve been reprimanded after documenting my code via comments because I was using some vertical space that should have been instead reserved to code (when you only have 24 lines at a time, people become really petty about things).

That was around 2009 :p

Anything will be hard to translate between languages as distant as English and Russian, to be quite honest. Monday Begins on Saturday just has more contemporary cultural references that Russian readers understand. Chekhov's stories probably have just as many but they are just as lost to the contemporary Russian reader as they would be to an English translation one :)

On the other hand, I remember watching Russian translation of the Naked Gun and finding it extremely funny even though neither I nor the translator understood any references there so, I guess, it's still possible to enjoy art without the context.
I think this kind of Freudian viewpoint about the purpose of all sorts of things began to fall out of fashion at the turn of the century (with the dying off of committed Freudians from the last century), and it sounds sort of ludicrous now - much like if someone started spouting off theories based on phrenology.

It reminds me of some book I was reading in the 80s that started off in the intro with the theory that rockets were shaped the way they were because men were obsessed with their penises and as such spaceflight was metaphorically mankind's rape of the cosmos (threw the book away as too ludicrously stupid to continue with so don't remember anything past that).
