Expanding on (1):
It is important to explain to HN readers the reality of CCP membership.

You can consider it the equivalent of national honor society in high school in the US and various honor societies in college, but with membership dues you must pay. Membership is symbolic and people must attend mandatory propaganda classes which they don't take seriously. Why would they do this? Because this is the way to get into many leadership roles in government.

So CCP membership is driven by capitalist motives.

I personally am friends with quite a few CCP members. I assure you they are critical of the government and have no insight into what the leadership is doing.

CCP membership in itself means little. Really depends on how high up an individual is within the party.
I wonder about something different - if R and F are independent, and R also tells you the shape of space, what would happen if EM and gravity waves crossed through each other? My guess is the EM wave would be modulated somehow, within the intersection volume, as if crossing into a different matter medium, while gravity wave would be unaffected.
We're talking here about an order to prohibit all gatherings among young people. That's a huge restriction of 1a right to peaceable assembly.

I happen to think mask mandates are ridiculous too but that's besides the point.
I am wondering what would happen, if someone swapped out the glibc implementation? Would this uncover the deeper technical reason for the implementation? Would suddenly bugs occur elsewhere?

It probably just shows how old the glibc is and like most software entropy is increasing over time.
I guess the glibc complexity with a LUT is to support non-ascii character sets? It seems quite silly to compare a general solution to a hard coded special case.

Just putting it out here to emphasise the point that ALL languages have controversial parts.
PHP scales fine especially serving mostly static content. Not sure why that's even being used as an argument against choosing WordPress. There are valid concerns, this isn't one of them.
Maybe not exactly EASY, but definitely EASIER. That's what they're meant for. They're supposed to make enlightenment easier.

> It sounds like "let's add a new syntax for lisp because it has too many brackets"

You'll find wisp [0] implemented for several of the larger Schemes. Often because the rationale for adding another syntax can be more nuanced and actually benefitial than a quick joke. [1]

Whilst you're right that caution absolutely applies when modifying a language's syntax, there may be a case for it that reduces friction for the programmer. The change might have been proposed with a joke. I doubt the entire rationale ended there, however.

I kind of feel for these guys. This kind of project is the worst (massive, content/maintenance-heavy website with many admin users .. urghh). And given that they are likely to be heavily scrutinized on whatever direction they take, I mean it's pretty much lose lose (I really hope they are killer designers). That said, reading the blog post took me back to 2013 .. symfony/PHP? If I was the W3C product manager I really wouldn't be confident with the technical approach. It reeks of confusion, and appears to be relying on others for technical leadership. The W3C should be leading the way here. The approach should be something you write about and people go wow! They nailed it. At the moment it sounds like someone's googled accessibility and is in the process of pushing high-contrast lemons through the orange peeler.
I love sours :) I'm jealous!
If WP ever (probably not) gets away from the "everything is a post" approach, none of the gazillion plugins will ever work again. WP only gives you things, if you use its classes, so the tendency of its users is to make everything a post, but a post is (surprisingly ha!) not the correct abstraction for everything. It is in fact a very bad design.

Many of the often touted so high number of users of WP are however, rather casual want to host a blog kind of users, who really don't need much more than posts and plugins, which take care of implementing stuff on an unfitting abstraction, ehich remains invisible to the casual user.
That's kind of true, but you should probably ignore it for purposes of salary negotiation. It's not really that different from a bigger company in most cases- they have a budget in mind, and you can probably negotiate up to the limit of the budget. This will sometimes be a hard limit btw - e.g. if it's a Dev shop, they often know how much they're getting paid for a particular project, and can calculate the maximum salary they can profitably pay.

Smaller companies are often more flexible on other terms though, which is worth knowing. Often they can give you eg work from home options, different configuration of vacation days, etc. This if useful to think any for negotiation purposes.
If you ask a layperson, yes sure. Ask a geologist/biologist/whatever. There is order in the chaos. Some things can be said with certain levels of confidence without (direct) evidence. There are patterns you know.

You are making too many assumptions here.

I’m not comparing AIP with chemotherapy.

I’m comparing specific AIP recommendations with research which might have other recommendations.

In this case eating the (sometimes 10xmore) expensive gluten free, “everything free” foods vs eating “normal” foods.

After reading results which show that eating whole grains gives better outcomes measured on the EDSS scale in the same period of time compared to eating white bread or not eating bread at all, what am I supposed to think?

The “normal” bread industry is funding science to opress the gluten free crowd?

And gluten is just one tiny piece of this puzzle.

My point is that I’m leaning towards reading about as much factors which play a role in my wellbeing, and then weighing my options with some kind of understanding about how they work, instead of accepting one size fits all solutions.

I don't think anyone is explaining your experience. You always hated it and still do. No big deal.

However you seem to reject the idea people can go from disliking it to liking it, which isn't the case.

May I ask you how you approached this negotiation?

If we were able to catch neutrinos effectively, could we use neutrinos for the same purpose?
They had good reasons, it means there's only two substrings that need escaping: the backslash and end string sequence. In hindsight, it's ugly and hard to read. A case of optimising for the wrong thing.
There are two camps withing the HTML/CSS community, one that thinks HTML and CSS should be hand written (with the help of a static site generator), the other one thinks that HTML and CSS should always be generated by a design tool like Frontpage, CMS, Wordpress/Gutenberg et.al.
If you open VS Code for the first time, it asks you immidiately what keyboard shortcuts you want to use. When you open Emacs, you see a tutorial that tries to teach other keyboard shortcuts, and not a hint that you can change them, let alone how.
Apple has removed most stuff that's needed for non-mac platforms from CUPS over the years, which are maintained by the Linux community separately now.

WebKit is probably pretty rare outside macos, most browsers will be built from Chromium/Blink instead.

LLVM is developed by many companies these days, including Intel, Sony and Google.
I have not looked at the implementation but a lookup table would suggest EBCDIC support? Otherwise you would have to do like 7 range checks.
Yes, it's harmful and if you appear a notch too aggressive they will probably dump you. (Reading articles about salary negotiation in the valley is possibly the most harmful thing a French person could do to themselves)

Assume it's French cheap staffing companies (90% of the employment market there), akin to tata or infosys for foreign readers.

There is a very narrow salary band for the position depending on university and age. They won't bulge for one euro. They'll simply keep looking for candidates to find a cheaper one.

They are well aware that their salaries are low. They see their offers refused time and again. They see candidates leaving in droves for better positions/industries as soon as they can. Doesn't matter, it's just business, gotta stick to the salary grid.
This seems very naive and the "proof" of it is very thin.

WSL is mostly about the fact that most software developer tools that are not windows-specific treat windows as a second-class citizen.

Edge on linux is mostly about enabling devs to test sites in edge without needing a VM and since it's now chromium based the linux support was mostly "free".

I think MS has understood that they lost the war for developers (unless you develop specifically for windows) and therefore has adjusted. To think that they will cede any ground in the consumer space is probably extrapolating too far.
I don't think emacs needs to change but I also feel like there are some concerns that need to be addressed for a new and rapidly growing generation of programmers who aren't learning to use emacs and vim. While it might be thriving now, we're probably 10 or 20 years away from emacs being extremely niche (more than it is today).
Apparently bleating about Tik Tok is all this government can do to try and hide the fact that it’s been bleating about Tik Tok for months and not achieved anything besides having increased the deficit with China to record numbers while still paying Midwest farmers tens of billions for that privilege.

It’s also failed to actually do anything about Tik Tok for months despite having committed some blatantly illegal acts that have reduced the government to little more than a PRC style ruling party. I guess actually solving the stated Tik Tok problem would prevent the daily headlines that are distracting from those same record deficits.
Small companies with smart hiring managers or owners should know that if they pay candidates, especially highly skilled ones, not enough, they will probably jump ship after one or two years which is exactly the period after which employees reach a level of productivity that brings enough value for companies to justify the hiring.
This is my experience as well. Any tickets related to a11y, PHP code clean up/modernization, or security don't get the love JS-heavy tickets get.

Thumbs up to people as Sergey who triage issues and brought up some of the tickets. Drupal is sort of following the same way; if it's not related to the latest Drupal version or related to media uploads, editing experience, etc, those issues are lucky to picked up.

I find it is easier to prove your value in these cases and bounds are much wider.
The implementations of communism we've seen have always been authoritarian.

On the contrary, capitalist system tend to have freedoms (like speech). These freedoms makes a difference wrt. corruption.

I think the argument is that systems with personal freedoms, like free speech, are better at correcting their shortcomings.

I don't know if you can make a communist system with personal freedoms. Maybe.. but classically we've associated communism with planned economies. In my mind, planned economy sounds ideal, until you realize that it's the same as waterfall software development :D
> CCP membership is driven by capitalist motives

You probably mean _selfish_ motives.

I was born in the communism of Eastern Europe. Back then being a party member was also for selfish reasons. About 20% of people from our country were members of the communist party. Party members had a higher status, of course, hence the phrase "in communism, everybody is equal, but some people are more equal than others".

I can assure you that membership in the communist party wasn't meaningless.

Yes, you had party members criticizing the party (always in private of course, and only for the show), yet they were tools of the party nonetheless. Every single one, succumbing to doing dreadful deeds whenever the party required it, and doing everything they can to preserve the status quo.

And that's not capitalism my friend. That's just being immoral.

Interestingly I see more and more CCP propaganda on HN.

Someone like me can smell the bullshit from a mile long, unfortunately other people aren't as lucky to have been born in a Warsaw Pact country.
Funny. I started writing

"...Bateson (and Korzybski) are one of mostly undervalued thinkers in my opinion..."

before even clicking the link. Oddly enough, I find Korzybski's name mentioned right there, at the beginning.

Bateson's "Mind and Nature" and Korzybski's "Science and Sanity" make a good, eye opening read.
Fwiw, it works perfectly for me, no issues whatsoever. Which is rare. Ff on Android too, but 68.8 (I dare not upgrade, lest I lose uMatrix).
Labor and cost are exactly the same thing. If something is expensive it means it took lots of people's time to work on it. If you produce a pencil for 5 cents then you may spend 3 cents on materials and 2 cents on manufacturing equipment. The cost of the materials represent the wages of the people who extracted the graphite and harvested the wood. The cost of the manufacturing equipment represents the wages of the people who built it.
As an aside: Is it not required to put a date of publication inside scientific papers? I've always thought that documentation was paramount for papers such as these, and as such the date would be one of the primary pieces of information present, but I've come across many papers (including this one) for which I had to find publication information on third party websites (for this particular paper: Researchgate)
Why do you think BSD's or Linux need System-sounds?
Not necessarily equivalent, but usually used for that. Most frontend libraries are good tools for that task, and ok tools for other tasks.
Please reread that paragraph, that was exactly the argument here.
Thanks for the clarification. It seems like a lot of the boom in Chinese industries is because of them adopting capitalistic policies (although maybe not publicly).
I'm technical director of an agency that builds websites solely in WordPress, and I can say with feeling that Gutenberg has (so far) been a disaster not just in terms of accessibility but in terms of clarity of the development process. It's been a moving target since day one, with us constantly scrambling to keep up with large changes in each release. We held off for a while, and have only built three sites with it, but I wish we'd held off longer.

For example, there have been major interfaces changes on a regular basis, each of which we have to spend time walking our clients through. One change - defaulting to full-screen editing, which hides the menus and loses a lot of context that editors were used to - was pushed through at the last minute of a release cycle with a personal intervention from Matt Mullenweg. That meant that suddenly editors were confronted with an unfamiliar editing interface even if they were already registered and hadn't changed anything themselves, rather than a dismissible tooltip letting existing editors know that they could use a new full-screen editing interface. That seemingly arbitrary and personal style of project management really doesn't foster confidence that things are being thought through carefully.

I know from personal experience that you need to keep up momentum in a development project otherwise things stagnate, but so far the development of Gutenberg has been very much "move fast and break things" which would feel appropriate for a beta, but not for the default editing experience.

I think Gutenberg may well turn out to be really good - our clients do prefer it over the classic editor once we have it under control - but the way this has been managed has lost a lot of good will on our part as an agency and I've been actively looking at other CMSes like Craft as a result.
I think one major point is the unreadable mess, though. Is there a reason for this?
It's a movie rated "mature" featuring sexualized depictions of 11 year old girls. 11 year olds (the only even remotely "appropriate" audience for the film) can't legally watch it. It's a film filmed by pedophiles for pedophiles, and its ratings reflect that. Fun fact: 4chan, which lets you post swastikas, porn, and gore all day long _censors_ Cuties screenshots, since it does not allow child porn.
Most salaries reported in Glassdoor are several years old as Zuhayeer said. However, Glassdoor doesn’t even adjust them for inflation. So any statistic based on them will be horribly inaccurate. From personal experience too I can tell you that levels.fyi is far more accurate than Glassdoor.

P.S. I’d also like to thank Zuhayeer for building levels.fyi. It’s an awesome tool and helped me greatly in negotiating.
with plausible coming changes in manufacturing it's possible we might find a ton of 2nd hand cells for dirt cheap
Google says it can't "allow sexual content". Netflix has hundreds, if not thousands of movies with explicit sexual content, strong and mature themes and even gore.
The comment block mentions locales so I'd think non-C locales and extended-ascii (though non-ascii is also possible) e.g. in ISO-8859-9, 0xDD is İ (uppercase dotted i) and 0xFD is ı (lowercase dotless i) which you would expect to be an alphabetic letter in the turkic locale.
> it’s made me consider posting my photos to a website.

Please do, I’d certainly be curious to see them.

Why did they not consider Pimcore? Other parts of their platform seem to be using Symfony too...

Could be either used as "full CMS" or as data source for a downstream static site generator...
I switched from emacs to vim for the same reason. I was doing a lot of typing, and my left hand started aching when I was stretching my fingers and eventually it just started aching all the time. So I thought, why not try vim, which I had used many decades before.

Things were very slow for a few days, and there was a lot of swearing, as I got weird results from hitting a wrong key. But after about a week I was able to get along adequately, and after another one, I was at the point where I was making choices for optimal methods without really thinking about whether typing 2w would be better than holding j for a while.

I think the key was that I made the switch during a vacation, when my workload was lower and I would not be so frustrated by learning enough that I could select between methods.

Learning either vim or emacs in a rush is not good because you are likely to become habitualized on a small subset of methods, and will be blocked from learning other methods that will increase your productivity some day.

Any big standard lib I laid my eyes on (gcc, clang, MS headers) seems to be a mess. I too wonder if the complexity is really necessary, but I guess so? Macros in my experience is ofent to fool the compiler to generate better code. Maybe that is a legacy reason?
I'm comfortable recommending any interview or talk with him. He's been super active during the COVID crisis, so there's too many videos to keep track. From the title, this seems to be on subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLbBF0M42DY
> Why should they reveal confidential intelligence?

From my point of view the US administration lost a lot of credibility during the last months & years => they might be right, but at this point stating something like this without presenting proof is not enough anymore.
And here one might have hoped that the bean counters at Boeing had learned from the various disasters of the last years.

Especially "amazing": even if every one of these pilots earns a million dollars a year and the "contractors" half of that, they'd still only save about 3.5 million dollars a year. Just... what the fuck? On the scale of Boeing, that's a drop in the bucket.
