HN has built-in community sculpting. That comment would be downvoted and possibly even deleted by HN mods.

How about a requirement to post support for the comment. I.e., reasoning behind the statement with links to sources, kind of like Wikipedia. We do it as a convention on HN, but maybe making it a requirement is appropriate for polarized topics:

Besides what the sibling reply mentioned about capacitors and processors, WRT memory that machine has survivorship bias. The fact it's been running for thirty years tells you the RAM in the machine is good and is unlikely to have a problem barring damage. The same is true for all the other still working components.
Although that's what I originally learned it to mean -- from a horribly toxic online space -- some people use TFA to mean "The Featured Article" aka "the article under discussion."
IMO it's harder to compile for macOS than for windows.

I don't have a macbook. I can legally run a trial copy of windows in virtualbox to test out cross-compiling stuff, or spin up a windows EC2 instance for a few hours, or even use circleci or other CI system's windows workers to build stuff.

For macOS, I can't legally run a VM on my hardware, ec2 doesn't support it so I can't spin up a VM, and most CI platforms don't support it (probably because many of them just resell fleets of ec2 instances).

Many FOSS developers are just hacking away on 3 year old laptops or desktops for fun, and can't afford a $2k investment just to support one more operating system for their little project.
This is a really good point.
Intuit has already done the math. The actual profits from this practice will far outweigh the ensuing fines with "No admission of wrongdoing".
Are you buying that it's just a coincidence that the author quoted the opinion of the vice president of the Democratic party in an article that's clearly in opposition of the view point of the leader of the Republican party? What's that you said about taking a critical look again?
I agree with you, no valid reason (even stupid) from a performance point of view to render on the client for such pages. Client-side rendering backed up by Server-side rendering could increase performance on _following_ navigation when the performance/payload-penalty has been taken on first page load.
lobste.rs attempts to do this by somewhat requiring people to have connections before they can register. Even if that's not your long term goal, it might be a good place to start to avoid broken windows.

Phase III examines both the efficacy and safety of the vaccine. These are independent questions.

Just because a trial takes x years to determine efficacy, it doesn't necessarily take the same amount of time to determine safety.

Fauci said certain vaccines could be approved as soon as there were enough events in the control group. Any dangerous side effects would only be in the experimental group and not dependent on events in the control group. If the only blocking factor is number of events in the control group, that to me suggest that the question of safety has already be sufficiently resolved for some of the candidate vaccines.
Given the choices you presented I think Nocco would still be the best option. That doesn't make him a good option.

If what you say about community involvement and general transparency is true then maybe Nocco is still redeemable. With your involvement at the local level it sounds like some additional oversight is the best solution.

Since Nocco has proven he can't be trusted to run the department with the current amount of oversight I think additional community oversight of all police spending is a reasonable solution.

This solves the problem regardless of who happens to be Sheriff, even if that does turn out to be a local business puppet.
I live in the Midwest where its pan flat. There is a huge influx of people (not just retirees, but refugees from the coastal cities) who would be considered rich into all our thriving communities, driving out the locals by prices and changing the demographic hugely.
Screw the peer-reviewed research - I have money!
This is a pretty easy question to answer. You focus on the things that you'd get promoted for with that specific company (output maybe, leadership skills, etc.).

Even single people have to do with issues or projects or you name it outside of work. A workplace should only evaluate on the job performance. If it doesn't, then you can't do any actual fair evaluations. Maybe you spend too much time with your kids, maybe the single person spends too much time getting ready to ski in the Olympics or is tired all the time from being out late and partying?

If you take this to it's somewhat logical conclusion, you could have have 10 kids and say you don't have time to do a lot of work and then get a paycheck.

This seems pretty straightforward to me.
Absolutely. Prioritize those at highest risk of Covid complications (elderly, comorbidities) or those at high risk of exposure (front line healthcare workers).

It will be interesting once vaccines become available. Vaccinating several billion people will have a lot of operational challenges and will likely take upwards of a year to complete.

Your summary of what the book says is directly at odds with data that I've seen in books like Enlightenment Now.

https://towardsdatascience.com/has-global-violence-declined-... does a good job of summarizing the data. Every archeological site on record and every primitive society we have been able to study records a rate of death by human violence that exceeds by orders of magnitude what is seen in modern civilized societies. In fact they all exceed what happened in the USA+Europe from 1900-1960, and usually by a large multiple. Even with 2 world wars, Western civilization killed fewer per capita in violence than any previous period in history that we have data for.

In short, Hobbes was right. Every attempt that I have seen at taking a quantitative approach has backed that up.
I have edited. My bad.
I wonder why tech companies aren't allowing the option to change from full-time (100%) to part-time (60%), while retaining all the benefits especially healthcare in the U.S.

This can help ensure that everyone is being measured fairly - for example parents can opt to change to 60% and their role/responsibilities will be adjusted accordingly. Management will be able to hire to fill the gaps. Conversely if you're a parent that opts not to change to part-time and fails to deliver per the full-time expectations, then you get a "NI" rating or PIP.

Seems like this might normalize the compensation/recognition dimension at the heart of this debate. For parents that feel they can't stomach the pay cut from the switch, then there's no option but to work nights/weekends.
>This reminds me of mandatory leave for male parents after childbirth.

A pretty dang important thing. For my 5 sons, I did the vast bulk of changing diapers, feeding, cleaning & the rest of it.

>Women will stop producing because of childbirth, so let’s screw everybody over

Women don't stop producing. Day to day, they're more likely to out-produce the men in their lives. Anyone who's in their shadow and somehow feeling screwed-over is in deep need of a perspective adjustment.

While the anti-tax folks sometimes want this, I'm pretty sure most of the actual lobbying that keeps it difficult is done by the tax software companies - Intuit, for example.

Not including sales tax actually demonstrates more clearly the result of anti-tax sentiment, though I'm still not convinced it is lobbying itself that does this. Instead, the same sort of folks go into politics and directly get involved in making laws about this sort of thing. Of course, this is built on a long-standing anti-tax sentiment in the US that folks tie into an "origin story" of sorts (taxation from England minimally helped spur the revolution).

And they do have a point: The more of a pain a tax is for the taxpaper, the more they think about disliking taxes. But it doesn't realistically go that far: We do all sorts of things to make paying taxes easier for folks. Gasoline prices include all taxes (from federal down to sales tax). Payroll taxes are deducted from your paycheck. Stores collect sales tax instead of you sending it to the government. Prepaid phone plans still have taxes included and renters don't pay for property tax directly.And so on.

> Assuming all 4 people want a promotion, there are only 2 slots. It doesn't take a genius to understand that there isn't a solution to fit all

That's the point: which two are promoted? The ones that did more work or the ones that did less work?

As a mid 30s childless man I completely agree. We essentially sent people home on a Friday, told them to figure out a work from home situation, and then they were told welp your kids aren't going to school either, and whatever childcare you had lined up has now vanished too- and this is all happening in the course of a few days at most. So now you have kids to worry about all day, home schooling to oversee, focusing on your actual job, and then on top of that oh yeah there is still a mildly terrifying pandemic going on with an uncertain outcome. I work in the NYC area, and everyone is tight on space here as it is. I barely held it together during all this, how parents did with young children is beyond me.

Maybe I am making assumptions here on the general political leanings of those here, but if you are talking about supporting anything like Medicare for all, UBI, BLM, PPP or even just support the Democratic party in general, pulling a little extra weight for those in a time of need is IMHO a relatively small ask that you as an individual can implement compared to those agendas.
Meta observation: The sheer volume of downvoting of reasonable comments in here really speaks volumes about the extent to which the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is at least as much a political subject as it is a scientific one.

For VW’s Haines is definitely better. I had both for my 64. No CV joints on that one. Swing axel.

That gets it backwards - the reason for no trust is because they aren't trustworthy. Rather than try to ensure that they are under the transparency they clammor and cry for gatekeepers and "good old days".

It brings to mind the USSR and glasnost - once they are shown to fundamentally be a lie "going back" is delusional and doomed to failure. It is like the joke about the despairing old man who is now forever known as "the guy who shagged a goat" despite decades farming, building docks, and fishing.

#9 screams of anticompetitive product bundling. What do OS updates and security patches have to do with the Play Store?!?!?
The browser is instantly showing a spinner to let user know that something is happening, and after 3 seconds the page switches to a new one.

That's exactly how this very site we're on right now works, for instance.
Independent of the costs (which are higher than you might expect), it's just not good practice to create a whole slew of random redirects "just because". There's not a lot of random inbound traffic to "google.google" that plausibly needs redirecting. Indeed, you'd be causing the opposite problem, which is that by creating the redirect, you're now encouraging people to use it, and now you have an additional thing to support that you never really wanted in the first place. Remember that *.google isn't "just" a redirect or a subdomain -- it's a bona fide domain name, requiring registration, ongoing management thereof, an SSL certificate, configuration of automatic renewal thereof, DNS configuration, uptime monitoring, etc. And that's before you even get into any potential concerns re: the public suffix list, HSTS configuration/preloading, and other more esoteric concerns. It ends up not being worth it unless you have a real site that you actually want to launch, or at the minimum, a redirect that you really want to exist that you plan on using widely.

Caregivers are not covered under federal law, but apparently they are under some state and city law.

But how far do you take this? Is not getting a promotion penalization if your coworkers are more likely to be able to participate in work that garners praise?
Yes, I directly addressed that. A potential safety issue with vaccines is making the course of the infection worse. So you have to look at vaccinated people that get infected (an 'event') to check on that.

Phase II checks if the vaccines directly causes problems, but doesn't look at a lot of events.
Windows XP (NT kernel) and 9x are totally different OSes, using totally different kernels. They share some API, but not really the interesting parts.

I work on software that still supports XP with only a little pain. Visual Studio 2019 will still install the necessary toolchain if you ask nicely. Targeting Windows 95/98 in 2020 sounds like a nightmare.

It's weird, then, that the person that wrote the article that you and I are both commenting on has written a well regarded book using Haskell and their assertion is exactly the same as mine, no? It's also weird that the subject of this article is meant to be Rust, and yet here we are debating the idea that "Devs just aren't smart enough to understand haskell".

But, as always, I wouldn't expect a conversation about Haskell to really go anywhere. You can't comment unless you've drank the kool aid, and if you've drank the kool aid you're required to spout the same rhetoric.
I was actually thinking about the long-distance transmission lines, but that's a good point about potentially needing to upgrade local lines. As a non-EV owner, I can't discuss much but I was under the impression that you could just plug in to a normal wall socket for a slow charge. I suspect that you're referring to the Level 2 quick charging station. If that's the case, that would certainly impact you depending on how old your house is and whether you're running your own solar panels

I don't think it is a huge jump. In the past, I was a high volume seller on Amazon and competitors frequently purchased our products and left unwarranted negative reviews or just left a negative review without ever having purchased it. We knew this because in several cases, we matched the shipment address of our shipment with the return address of a competitors product (this was before FBA was huge).

Plus, sellers wash their hands of this by paying a company to boost their listings. It's don't ask, don't tell on how they accomplish that.

I live in a similar way in Canada, and I run long range ubiquiti radios (~12km) to nearest small town. get 150-200mbps and since I have battery backup + generator, usually the only reason it goes down is if the ISP router dies. I get ~1 bar of LTE that flickers to 3g, but with wifi calling it's not an issue. In addition to changing my own alternator, I run a small ISP for my neighbours :)
The best way to advance your career is to make choices that benefit the most people.

You're not going to get ahead if your decision fails to save lives or the economy.

Is this satire, or simply your first brush with politics?

The subject of the vaccine is a tidy hypothetical example. Approve vaccine (with no actual regard to efficacy or safety). Bolster confidence in the status quo, reopen economy. People feel hopeful, things look up, re-elect current administration. Whoops, turns out the vaccine is actually poison. But it's too late to elect the other guy now, and the administration retains power four more years.
I've been in both groups at different times. Before kids you can throw time at a problem, it's great. After kids you have to get smart.

A parent brings different things to the table than a non-parent. Especially for managers, being a parent is like being thrown in the deep end of an intensive empathy building program and that experience makes good managers.
Is this a joke? My 12 year old son would be able to cook for himself if it was required. Of course the kitchen would be a total mess. With instructions like the video below everybody can learn how to cook within a few days.

I mean, it's all pretty well automated by stack, the only painful part is that it can take a long time and use a lot of storage.
Probably because the "internal" API was used by someone who paid a lot of dollars?
Yes, that is what I was alluding to. Which in that case, takes some of the onus off of the reporters and the paper, I think.
We have a process with three stages of trials. No vaccine candidate has yet gone through all three stages, no.
That's a good advice, it's the little things that usually get noticed. I was the one who kept the coffee maker clean, every week I'd wash all the parts and make sure we'd all get nice coffee. After a few weeks it started to catch on and other people also started to do it.

I'm not sure if I agree with #5 and #8.

For #5, more early returns means you don't have to keep track of as many paths as you go through the code. Granted you could argue your function could warrant splitting up if you end up with too many returns.

#8 is dependent on whether or not it's safe to continue if one execution of the loop body fails (although he does say don't do it if you're going for that behavior, which I'd like to believe is the more common option)

I watched a bit, but it seem to start reason from some East vs. West stereotypes so I took a peek at some of their other videos. One "National Security vs Democrazy: Analyzed with Facts and Logic" appeared to try to justify the new HK National Security law by appealing to superficial readings of some foreign laws, and the others like "Italians: "HK Separatists are Traitors, EU is Failing" - Keybros SOFTtalk Ep.2 🇮🇹 (3/3)" appear to be collections interview of random Westerners with rather fringe views. If they said anything interesting, feel free to summarize them in text, but I think I have better things to do with 20 minutes.
