>That doesn’t compute. An organization is ultimately inseparable from the real ideological positions and goals of its leadership.

You're assuming the "real" ideological position of a black Marxist starting a black advocacy movement protesting police violence against black people is actually Marxism, whereas the actual evidence from her own mouth is that the "real" ideological position is the black advocacy.

>Why should we believe that a contemporary organization like BLM cannot be the same?

Occam's Razor. It seems far more likely given the context in which the organization arose that it is what it claims to be, rather than that being a front for something else.

>Those of us who protested the Iraq War in certain street protests that turned out to have been organized by Communist parties for their own shady purposes, have been burnt and we don’t want antiracism protestors to be exploited in the same way.

It's entirely possible that a movement like BLM can be co-opted by another agenda, and that's something people who support the movement need to watch out for. But all that's being presented here as evidence of the actual purpose behind BLM being the advancement of Marxism is speculation and extrapolation.

> At least one of the deaths mentioned in that URL... was shot by police.

The URL clearly refutes the parent comment that the only damage done by the protestors are vehicles and buildings getting set on fire.

> Recall also that these protests began because the police in the US have murdered thousands in the last few centuries.

> Anti-police-violence protests would have to sustain dozens of related deaths every single night for months to even approach the level of depravity exercised by police for years.

If we're going to police violence in the last few centuries, surely we should also include riots in the last few centuries? I'm pretty certain that more people were murdered by rioters then the police during that time.
There isn't necessarily a contradiction there, e.g. you could just see a single ball at any given moment but feel like it was a different ball than the one you saw a few seconds ago. Ditto for the sounds. So you aren't literally seeing anything that isn't there but you may still form higher-level impressions that are not accurate.
Some people call what's in this example "sequential coupling":

I was mostly talking about diverging in the way Fennel had.

Sure, but Clojure uses other grouping characters for the main dialect itself, and Fennel uses very similar deviations from the "Lisp baseline", hence my wondering about the inspiration.

Very cool article. I usually just use Kuler and pick out an option but that's limiting if you're trying to make it fit in the palette of something that already exists. The justifications and actions suggested are pretty good here.
Really interesting topic. For those interested I highly recommend the Tesla Model Y teardown videos from Sandy Munro of Munro & Associates. He is a really great engineer who used to be one of the Heads of Manufacturing at Ford among lots of other positions. His company does pretty much everything, from tearing down vehicles to, redesigning products for manufacturing, to building whole factories. He worked on the EV1 as well.

In his videos he takes apart a Model Y step by step and they analyses what it would cost to make with very detailed models:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkiDlGyJnprdFftxAZ85a...

In terms of efficiency, one of the highlights of the Model Y is the heatpump. Having a Heatpump itself is not new, other EV had it, but not Teslas. Tesla internally designed and built a new Heatpump that improves efficiency quite a bit, and it is credited with making Model Y get almost Model 3 range even while being bigger. Elon even said he had one of those heatpumps in his bedroom because its one of the best things any of his companies have ever done. Sandy Munro confirms that he has never seen that in all the heatpumps they have seen.

There are lots of good information on pretty much everything including electronics as well, its well worth watching.
Open core..wouldn't that mean the core product being open source..from what I'm seeing on github only some components are open source. By that example I would also call auth0 open core.

Anyways, seems interesting.
Interaction? Heh. The presence of other people is already draining. Trying to work surrounded by people in open space feels like trying to work when loud music is playing. Yes, it is possible, but I wish so much I could have an office -- or just a cubicle -- for myself alone!

The happiest moments are when I get into flow and stop noticing the world around me. And that's usually when the interruptions happen.

Talking with the few colleagues I like is fun. But at the end of the day, the work needs to get done, and the working conditions are not helpful.
The best I have found is ... not like sticky notes, but rather to form a habit of using lists, a few alarms, and a calendar (and anki or the like), using whatever tools (such as my http://onemodel.org , but there are many choices). This way I make a "self program" so I am reminded of the right things at the right times and not distracted by them otherwise. Some people also appreciate the whole GDT thing.
"Shanghai stock market trades more than HK" is a strange rebuttal to my argument. You presumably mean that's true now, rather than 20 years ago when China decided to go with "one country, two systems" - which is exactly my argument, that Hong Kong is no longer the needed as a moneymaker. Either way, overall stock exchange volume is not a very standard measure of economic activity - at the very least you'd want to weight it per capita.

Of course China is motivated to have Hong Kong aligned with it rather than flirting with the West. Whether the West is "waking up to it" is not so clear to me. The HK riots were a big deal in the Western media for a while but now we've moved on.

If it's not learned, then how exactly do you think the notion of the nation state came to be?

Is your problem that it's defined by powerful cabals via force? Is that your complaint? That we can't "unlearn" the point of someone else's gun?

In that case, I suppose I agree.

Indeed, this is my (apparently unpopular) point:

> Dunbar's number looks to me as something you can apply to village life, or bands of cavemen, but not any national structure from the past few hundred years.

I'd extend your few centuries to all of human history and argue that:

1) humans scale poorly

2) all efforts to scale them tend toward Towers of Babel

The counter-example is a military, where healthy young people can be coordinated at scale in an authoriterian system with a significant external threat.
Can we focus on the technical and strategic value in terms of competition, and put the value system and ideology aside for a moment?...

The international political competition and struggle are among the most complicated and complex human activities. Value system and ideology are just but one part of the driven force, and most of time is even the secondary or irrelevant part.
Understood, but the question is still: how does this affect the actual trend of sellers gaming their metrics via seed shipments? Those seeds aren't actually being ordered. They're just a cheap, light item to ship to get a tracking number.

It was already fraud before this rule. It's not like the scammy seller is going to obey this rule when they're already flouting the more fundamental ones.

> You just need to use var properly.

That is a very good point. I find the diamond operator more of my taste as it requires you to think if you want to expose ArrayList or List.

List<String> list = new ArrayList();

But, as you point, the second example removes information that will require to spend time to check types each time that someone reads the code. I do not like that.

I use auto-complete and I type quite fast, so, I do not see to write code as a problem. I spend most of my time understanding the functional needs, looking for better patterns or algorithms to implement performance-critical sections or finding names for exposed APIs that state clearly its function when I "write code". But, most of the time, I am just reading my old or other people's code to just change a few lines or decide on a local refactoring.

Can we ever manipulate things directly at the atomic scale to direct the creation of artifacts?

Ask HN: Signal that I am interested in visa as a perk
Hi there,

I am interested in leaving the northern European country I live in and relocate to the US, possibly permanently.

The problem is while I do have around 7 years experience developing software full stack with multiple languages, I do not have a college degree, my involvement with programming evolved rather later in life.

From what I see here I can only qualify for L1 visa at this stage so my questions are the following:

How can I signal to the recruiter that I am interested in relocation to the US as a perk?

How do I seek companies that do that?

Thanks for your time.
Good day!
I know what you mean, but I think there's a bit of nuance here. It's not about excessive slickness to the point where the design itself is more substantial than the data, it's about just enough design so that the presentation doesn't look amateur.

I agree that appearance shouldn't impact our trust, but it often does. If we showed up to a talk on investing, we might be surprised if Rapper 50 Cent took the stage. With his off axis baseball cap, his team jersey and gold chains, we might be questioning whether we should really listen to his investment advice... until he tells us he walked away with $7 million from one of his moves, or $60+ million from another.

On the other hand, if he had just walked out in khakis and a dress shirt, we probably wouldn't have questioned him before he spoke. Nobody is impressed by khakis and a dress shirt, but it's just enough that we don't question his trustworthiness, giving the data a fair chance to come through and be trusted (or questioned) on its own merit.

> And so we have a mess that has the sysadmin throwing up their hands, disabling all the tools, and making immutable config files just to get back to basic static file functionality.

I’m not a big fan of sysadmins coasting on their existing knowledge, and this sentiment sums up what I object to precisely. Complexity has increased somewhat since the Slackware days, and it doesn’t always seem to be for the best, but that’s no excuse for disabling it.

Expressing this viewpoint in an interview would materially harm a sysadmin candidate’s chances: it suggests that they are inflexible, unable to adapt to change, and prefer to simply sweep issues under a rug rather than document them and resolve them.

I empathize with the desire to set it all aside and go back to bare metal, but it’s not a position I would take as much pride in.

We are talking past each other. You are convinced your viewpoint is correct while I am convinced mine is correct. The reality is that we are engaging in an exercise of line drawing. You draw the line for "actions undertaken by an individual attributable to the group" at a different place than I do. I also doubt that your mind can be changed on where the line should be drawn, judging by your retreat to a "you must not know many BLM supporters" argument.

I do know many Black Lives Matter supporters. I also know that many of them no longer support BLM (note that I put BLM, not Black Lives Matter) because the movement has been co-opted by extremists. The second group includes me. While your experience may be distinct and real to you, I urge you to consider the impact that extremists have on the overall movement and how continuing to try to split hairs about who is and who is not a member of BLM while not vocally condemning and ostracizing extremists from what you view as the movement galvanizes not just BLM opponents but also neutral parties who agree with Black Lives Matter. Actions have consequences.
Most black boxes are just default linux distro with their vendor software on top.

Before systemd, you just needed to set correct DHCP config and it would all just work.

But nowdays distros come with systemd-resolved which usualy has (by deafult) fallback public DNS servers.

That means that boxes suddenly can switch from your DHCP network provided DNS servers (or even static DNS servers) to goolge (or cloudflare,) public DNS server.

Bottom line is, it used to be enough to set DNS server through DHCP (or static ones) that is no longer enough in some situations.

(*: For clarity - EM = Engineering Manager, IC = Individual Contributor)

I recently transferred to a team with an explicit intent for me to be an EM on that team. A few months down the road they said I wasn't meeting expectations because of my "time management" which had too many meetings and lacked focus time for IC work - which definitely was not my 50%+ focus. I'm "winning" the resulting political war (my last 1:1 left my lead in tears), but only in the limited sense that I'm not getting fired; it's been a bit of a disaster for everyone.

The unclear expectations of what gets someone an EM role and what is expected of that role is the root of my problem, some of the author's, and a lot of the industry's as a whole.

Leaders are picked from those that are truly focused on tech and truly excel at it... and then told not to do that. How can somebody be "intuitively, emotionally invested in the outcome" of tech work and then suddenly be expected to stop doing it?

I should have been that rare counter-example in that I got picked for this role because of my very visible leadership in other areas. However, when it came time to give me the position formally they fell back on code output and found it somewhat lacking (specifically, the number of commits I made while onboarding was less than those of my established teammates).

There's a school of thought that switching back and forth between IC and EM tracks lets you build a lot of knowledge and be both better manager and IC (the author evidently did). While I do think experience with each helps you do the other, there is a cost to that focus shifting. This isn't like the cost of only being able to code in 45 minute blocks. It's the cost of shifting the things you care most about entirely.

Most managers fail to ever make that shift. Even if they manage to hold themselves back from coding (not all do), their heads remain in the code. One sign is when, in response to impossible expectations from above, they try to come up with technical solutions (e.g., if only we redesigned this module we could meet these impossible deadlines). If your mind is focused on tech, it's the tool you use to solve every problem. Another example is when team members have no idea how to move their careers forward and don't know expectations. A tech focused lead won't be thinking about how a new project is actually the perfect challenge for a more junior employee; their head will be figuring out the best way to solve the task technically.

An EM is not a tech lead. It's not just a different skillset, but a mindset change.
My understanding is that these seeds were originally shipped as seeds, but then the listing was reused for some other item, which miraculously has a ton of reviews on day one. By banning seeds Amazon are, in the strictest sense of the phrase, closing the loop hole of being able to send seeds for cheap reviews.

Unfortunately they leave the loophole of completely changing a product listing wide open.
