Sorry for the delay. Overall you are correct on both charges, but Corporate Reality gets in the way

On (1): they don’t know squat, but if I don’t have a multi-ethnic and gender-diverse team of people in their 20s, wearing Avengers tshirts, toting moleskines and matcha cups while scooting around on mopeds, we are “not agile enough” (which is corporate for “the pics from our competitors look cooler, everyone says you can’t be agile without Avengers T-shirts, OMG hire someone youngsters or our share prices will drop”. Sorry if I overused stereotypes, but hopefully you get the point. Dilbertian PHB doing PHB things.

On (2), yes but (a) most HR everywhere are work are hypocritical at best and bipolar at worst. Also, (b) in private they will also tell you they need to keep salary volumes in check, streamline pension fund levels, etc. “Resources” is the main noun, “Human” is just an adjective that was passing by.

I don’t agree to all this, but it’s the same in all big companies I worked at (even in some that hide this crap too well)
I'm pretty sure Moxie knew the upsides and downsides to using telephone numbers - and explicitly chose the alternative that maximised network effects over the one that maximised privacy. I suspect now there's (probably?) a large enough Signal network too self-sustain, and they can (and are) condsider allowing non-phone-number users to exists on their platform.

I'm not sure they made the compromises and decisions the way I would have preferred them, but their e2e secure messenger platform is way more ubiquitous than mine (which I never wrote), so in spite of that, I reckon they've done more to "make the world a better place" than I have...

(I do still get mad everytime Signal tells me "Some random or friend who's phone number you saved sometime in the last decade or so is now using Signal!" I'm 99% certain none of those people knew I was going to see that message when they installed/configured their "super private e2e encrypted messenger app!!!")
I know about that and it's a handy feature but I meant the typical window operations (moving in the tile grid, resizing of grid rows/columns possibly also sending to other workspaces or the scratchpad and toggling floating or fullscreen mode via a context menu on the title bar)
I can't confirm that issue (although I will say that jiggle mode is super finicky—I'm glad to be down to one home page screen with iOS 14). That said, may I suggest you try the home screen editor in Apple Configurator?

From the article:

> Sometimes they even implant new stereotypes (for instance, if participants didn’t previously have particular stereotypes for Vietnamese people, or much knowledge about them overall, but were introduced to common stereotypes about this group through training intended to dispel said stereotypes).

Have you considered being more aware might have made you behave in a more bias or stereotype assuming way?

The question should be are these programs achieving the goal of making an inclusive workplace or not?
Transmit 4 lasted in the market for 7 years. If that is not representative of a company, I don't know what it is.
I am very well in software, and given your seniority it makes sense that people you have encountered have been the more serious type who treat programming as like any other job. I'd just welcome you to look at the next HN thread about dev productivity pr to find several people proudly claiming the opposite of your experience.
>My main point is, people are spending more on housing. It's not a mirage.

House sizes have grown a lot too. When you factor that in, you get to what the OP stated: per square foot, housing prices have been remarkably constant (and for much longer than his 1990 to 2020 window).

When you factor in that houses are now vastly more energy efficient, safe, with niceties like central air, then modern home buyers are likely getting the best deals in history.
I've thought about this a lot, because I've bumped up against that limitation a few times when customizing my Erogodox layout.

My conclusion: QMK could do this, or at least some firmware could do this. It's hard to come up with an eloquent way to express it, however.

But there's no a priori reason that pressing shift-1 couldn't be special-cased to instead send shift-2, yielding @. It's all being precomposed by the firmware, after all.

It's too bad, because I have a custom key for delete-back-word, and I want shift-thatkey to send delete-forward-word, but as you point out, I can't. But that's a limitation of QMK, not a fact of nature.
1.5x the RAM and pixel count compared to the original Quest, for one.

edit: and the 90Hz refresh rate upgrade from the first Quest’s 72Hz is nothing to sneeze at. Very perceptible immersion upgrade for many.

So according to you, how many is a lot ?
This does not appear to be available on the iPhone SE (2016). Interestingly, searching for "Back Tap" does show a singel result for Accessibility -> Touch, but once you're there the option is hidden.
Thanks. No matter how much you think you climb there’s always someone bigger on top, so I try to err on the side of humbleness rather than the opposite ;)
I take screenshots often as reminders, to annotate, etc. I setup a double-tap as an action to take a screenshot. So much faster then the older methods. You get some false positives, but really handy productivity hack.
Could a community produce their own computer chips?
Better cpu and more pixels per eye would be the improvements that stood out to me. (Lack of display-per-eye might net out to neutral or even negative on the display though, especially if your IPD is not in one of the sweet spots).
Interesting... in 2018, 2017, and 2016 it only really increased by 1 or 2 percentage points.

Given today's interest rates, a 6% inflation adjusted return rate is going to be impossible. More like 1% if you are lucky.
It's benefitted me in many ways, both professionally and personally to be open to the idea that I could be wrong - and I don't feel like anyone has ever forced me to believe that.

I'm open to the science here, so will keep an ear to the ground.
I have an impression that the article is about programmers, not engineers.
But in the 70s/80s mortgage rates were ~15%, compared to ~ 3% today. So you still spent a significant amount of money on a mortgage.
I had to disable Auto-Capitalization in the General/Keyboard settings in iOS 13 for sanity, and it's absolutely been a win. I second your hope that it's fixed in iOS 14 but don’t dare update to a .0 release.
Show HN: pytorch-generative: A nascent library for autoregressive modeling
Sounds like you may enjoy https://github.com/cruise-automation/isopod (some assembly may be required)
It’s really sad to me that your ideology is about coercion and government intervention into the most minute details of business. I have a great idea - let the free market sort it out!
Hi HN!

I’ve been working on the pytorch-generative library in my spare time for a couple of months now as a way to dive deeper into recent work on neural autoregressive generative modeling. The goal of the library is to provide clean, high quality implementations of recent SOTA work as the code for a lot of papers is hard to read and understand. I’m also trying to see what parts can be abstracted and easily reused to make future implementations and experiments easier.

Please take a look! I’m happy to answer any questions and would love any feedback.
HHS (The agency that administers Medicare/Medicaid in the US) has a 2-person SWAT Team on the rolls?
Except the original had 2 screens and the new one has 1 screen - it seems like a questionable compromise (at least the Ars reviewer certainly hated it). But again, I've not tried it.
I wonder how much that increase scales further up the pay scale. Given the still widening income inequality, I wonder if its exponential
One of my objections to most of the HR training I’ve been to is the pacing. Some tech training videos are a little slow-paced, but nearly every HR training I’ve been to has felt like 30-45 minutes of content crammed into 4 hours.
Twin Cities is the answer, as you already know.
Did you consider that this project actually is a troll?
> Most people don't even notice DRM

Just because they don't know what to blame, doesn't mean they don't notice it.

A prominent example is performance degradation with Denuvo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_DD-txK9_Q
> Do not look outside the bounds of the object you are given.

Do not even try to look; computing a pointer that points outside the object it was created from is undefined.
The poverty line has not scaled with the increase in expenditures associated with modern living, nor increased worker value. The only adjustments made in the last half-century have been for inflation and bare-minimum at that.

America is a lot more poor than these statistics let on when compared to the rest of the first world. Furthermore debt is not considered in many such analyses.
Exactly like that. And 10 years later they can come and extract the calories from you against your will.
Right, because pointers are not integers.
It's a bit fuzzy with Kickstarter. https://www.kickstarter.com/blog/kickstarter-is-not-a-store
Eh no. While I agree it won't be accepted, this is more restrictive semantics, so it doesn't cause any compatibility problem.
It's a shame they discontinued 123D design. I loved that for simple 3d printing projects and still use it.

For more complex stuff I used inventor fusion which was a free beta but I think this is now part of 360.

I still have to get into it as 123D is still sufficient for me :)
Your post makes me think about how great diversity training was in my place. It was mostly about

- diversity is good - it increases a pool of workers and ideas to pick from

- we all are minorities in something, so please be nice. We're in this boat together

- everyone has unconscious bias. Including you. Beware

- please make an effort to be inclusive: being the only black/white/green person in the team sucks

- don't do anything illegal

Kinda reasonable approach, I'd say, but I doubt they do it anymore.
Yes, I've considered that. And it's great to be able to be open about it and talk. If you are unaware of a subject, it's much more difficult to speak about it.

I think a lot of the problems with diversity training, and reasons it may not work - are that it's not actually bought into by those participating - and by bought into, I don't mean believing everything you hear - I mean participating, active listening, asking questions, being open to the idea that one is wrong, and that you can improve and help make your workplace one which feels good to be part of.

It took me 20 years in my career, and most of the bad workplaces I had were a result of careless / unempathetic leadership. Once I actually had that, and saw that they were better at running a business than those without deep empathy and thoughtful reflection, I am not going back.

I'll never work for someone who isn't at least open to the ideas of transparency, open communication, and psychological safety, while at the same time, driving a business forward - these are not contradictions.

Last: The training can't make the workplace better - the people must. If they are unwilling to listen, or behave differently based on signals they are now trained on, or at least know why they are continuing their current behavior (an option) - it won't work, these things fall apart when there isn't widespread participation.

> what matters is the housing price where people are

What matters is where HN commenters are, because they are controlling this discussion. Let's not pretend that upvotes here are representative of the wider population, or that the average populations' opinions are well represented here. No, you did not imply that, I'm not attacking you or anything, but I figured it should be said lest we delude ourselves.

> I don't want to live there

Isn't it great that the increasing wealth in society gives us the idea that we can pick and choose anywhere in the country to live and then expect to buy a house there? This was not exactly the case for my (grand)parents. My family came from Buffalo, moved to Phoenix, and settled in the Seattle area(long before there were Amazon jobs, when the PNW was a refuge for weirdos). Imagine how silly it would be if the majority of the US population thought they were entitled to a house in a "tier 1" city.

Coding a malloc in C is actually fairly questionable from a standards perspective. You really have to consider the entire address space to be one big object for this to really work.
They only show the change in the share of aggregate income. In other words, of total income, how much did each quintile account for?

Lowest quintile +1.8%
Highest quintile -0.6%

So it would appear it didn't go to the highest income earners.
It's fairly easy to buy a "multimedia" European keyboard with 124 keys. It's somewhat harder, outwith Brazil, to get hold of a "multimidia" ABNT2 keyboard with 126 or more keys, but they are commercially available there, at least.

Here's one with 127 keys: https://mcinformatica.loja2.com.br/715631-Teclado-Multimidia...
Obviously fake news, nothing good can happen on Trump’s watch.
Apps aren’t even required. Mozilla Firefox for VR implements WebVR. Many adult sites can seamlessly play VR content via this plugin. Navigate to the site as normal in Firefox VR, hit play on a VR video, and there you are.

...or so I am reliably informed.
They're could be some lag in tax cuts making their way into household income, and some of this could be from corporations onshoring profits.

I’ll counter your question with a question of my own. How would you title a document at your work that’s trying to convey that some process or practice doesn’t help customers and burns trust?

I’m not saying we need the same decorum in personal writing. But I am stating there’s another way to make the argument.
I kinda see where they're coming from though. The account of times I've seen a business user carelessly closing the "please play fair" box of TeamViewer... And I'm not talking small businesses either.
Great! I feel like every time I see party-leading democrats push the zero-sum economic fallacy I'm pushed further and further from the party. It's certainly possible to have billionaires as rich as bezos and still have a powerful middle class. A rising tide raises all ships.

Now if only a single major media outlet would report on these facts...
The point is that Apple only managed to reign in push notifications because they were able to warn/ban apps.

They can't do this with PWA.
What I need to know is: can I fit the whole thing into a SCRABBLE box for transport? Asking for a friend.
Content that advocates for a particular moral framework. For example that outcomes matter more than intent. This is an area of philosophy that has been under continual discussion for thousands of years.

In addition, curriculum that has participants take some sort of personal inventory. Also having them go through some sort of confessional process.

Again, these are all healthy things to do. In the right context.
I can't play games that I've purchased because of DRM.
In some cases because I've switched to linux and the security breaching rootkits that they want me to install don't work correctly there.
In other cases it's very old games for which the authentication servers no longer exist.
It's a real problem.
I had in late February, what an antibody test much later confirmed, was a mild COVID case, before any of the lockdown. Almost a month later I had neurological symptoms, left side numbness which sent me to the ER for an MRI and neurological workup. Nothing of note was "found" and it resolved itself, but fuck was it scary for a healthy 30-something. I didn't learn until a month after that that I had COVID and put together all the pieces of what had happened.
Did that change actually go through? Your link says it was just a proposal.

And from the report, it seems like poverty had been decreasing for years.

Since 2014, the poverty rate has fallen 4.3 percentage points, from 14.8 percent to 10.5 percent
I think your random sampling of people is just unlucky. It's not my experience the people living intergenerationally are unhappy. It's normal here in Asia. I know of no one complaining. It's very common to see 50s mom and 20s daughters spending days together as friends. Browse a dating site and it's not uncommon to see people even in their 40s living with parents. It's also not uncommon for people to move out for collage and move back in 4 to 10 years later with zero stigma

I have feeling you could make an argument that getting your own place is either an indirect or possible direct consequence of marketing. Lots of companies stand to make more money if they promote you moving out on your own. Ikea has at least one famous ad telling you to move out of your parent's house

Perhaps you're not auditing your code as much as you ostensibly should.
This is a straw man.
Yes in current C standard. As far as I know this is not necessary for optimizations and I want this to be fixed in the future C standard.
These numbers are pre-tax.
Signal has always asked for contact reading permission (I'm 99% certain), but it still does not do a good enough job of telling you "Once you grant this permission, we will notify every other Signal user in your contacts list that you are also now a Signal user".

I still get pissed when it does that to friends of mine (and less pissed, but still unhappy when it does it to co workers, ex colleagues, work clients, government employees, taxi drivers, pizza delivers, and all the other random numbers my phone has saved in it's contact list over the last decade or so...)
Your description covers pretty much every quantum computer ever conceived. How certain are you?

It seems that ars' review is very biased to be bad compared to other reviews.
+1, for PWAs to succeed, they need feature parity with native apps for fundamental things like notifications. But outside of PWAs, web notifications are mostly just spam, so requiring installation seems like a good middle ground.
Brilliant. I love the special keys for faces / emojis.

This[1] is from the year prior, but it indicates that wages may not be going up and causing income to go up. People may just be working more. Not sure if it applies to 2019 as well, though.

There isn't "one tax" that effects households. There's also second and third order-of-effect tax changes that affects income as well.
It's odd to the point of deliberate that the press release does not mention Facebook at all. If they truly believe it is a benefit then it would be mentioned.

Rather we can infer that Occulus understands the issues with the hardline on Facebook login, and wish to avoid more backlash.
Gov Cloud is an entirely separate setup, you can't share anything across the two.
Why would you assume that the author must have a formal model? It's a short blog post.

I was at my engineering college reunion around the time this piece was written. It was shocking the number of people that had pivoted from chemistry, physics, biology, or engineering into "software engineering", including people who hold PhDs in non-CS fields. It does feel like the programming profession has been sucking up talent left and right.

I live in a non-coastal tech center and have the opposite problem- I love my friends, but almost none of my social circle programs for a living. It would be nice to be able to talk tech more outside of dedicated meetups or hackathons.

This is good to see but I’m curious how 2020 will turn out. I would guess that with with the pandemic driven shutdown median household income will drop pretty dramatically. Maybe more than this 6.8% gain.
Oh that's interesting.

I don't suppose anybody knows if Android version of Signal back in the 2014-2016 period asked for contact permission (in a non Android mandated way)? Ie if post 2016 Android Signal app running on pre-marshmellow Android versions does?
>Things seem to have become more difficult to obtain in some cases. Back in 2003, nobody asked me for proof of income for renting. Just basic credit checks (which don't directly know about income or bank balances). Proof of income is more recent.

Because they can ask those things more quickly and easily now. There's a bunch of jerks in California who are hellbent on connecting every DB in the world to every other DB that we can thank for this.
second+ order effects of tax policy have effects on pre-tax income distribution, just as do second+ order effects of benefits policy have effects on pre-benefits income distribution.

Quite often, arguments about the likely second+ order effects are major arguments for or against tax and benefit policy changes; it's not all about first order effects in isolation.
They also have a lab with samples of smallpox. I suspect having people who know the lab and are trained to work with SWAT teams is probably useful.
Are efficient markets some kind of Nash equilibrium that naturally emerges from bellum omnium contra omnes?

If true, it is strange that we need government coercion to define and enforce property rights. Stranger still that we need government coercion to grant corporate charters to facilitate capital formation. The free market should just handle that.
I'm not very sure this is a good idea–what exactly is the benefit of allowing the creation of off-by-one pointers that you can't do anything with?

Yeah I tried to use Emacs, but the LSP had way worse performance than in VSCode and was very glitchy. I was disappointed because I really enjoyed Emacs in other ways, but I couldn't get that to work reliably. Maybe I was doing something weird.
