I think it is a wonder that a system as complex as speech does not have more externalized problems (I know there are others, but fewer than I'd expect given the number of systems speech and language touch).

If the user would have added sentence flavor to another portion of their post would you still query the relevance of the flavor? For example, if they specified “Perth” in “As an immigrant in Australia” would you ask “How is the fact that you are in Perth, Australia relevant? How does city location come into this?
Yes, if not for that she would have likely walked. Even so, it further illustrates that minor tricks can have a big effect in the right context. I'm pretty sure that Stewart didn't think about the possible consequences when she did that. Must be weird to sit that high and fall so low.

This is not a new claim. Take it with a grain of salt.
Society itself is a culture against dissent. We choose to live together despite our differences and make sacrifices for the group over the individual. It's part of the social contract.
No, the analogy still stands in my opinion - medicine is not "eating the world". It has only very narrow application (very important but still narrow) and software can literally change everything in our lifes (if for the better that's up for discussion). So seeing every one else as illiterate sounds lot better than saying that we need better alphabet.

> what do members of a society owe to one another?

> we should consider whether we would be content to live the lives that the least fortunate in our society actually live

Stopped reading right there, because it's a complete non sequitur. People only owe one another what they have contractual obligations for; claiming that you owe to provide any kind of minimal standard of living for another person just because he also happens to live in the same society as you is completely absurd and deeply immoral.

Now, I agree that being charitable and thinking about others is moral, and that people who enjoy very comfortable lives without giving anything back to the community can be frowned upon. However, there is critically important distinction between doing something out of your own free will and our of obligation.

I always defend Nazis, who openly advocate for killing me and my family, right to free speech, and I would always defend the property rights of the heartless and greedy. Not because I want to condone this behaviour, but because no morality can be more important than personal freedoms.
Thinking of buying a fairphone and using e on it, but I have a question about apps, and thought hackernews might know:

I don't need that many apps, but the few I do need are very specific, such as the local public transportation app, and bankID from my bank.

Can I just download those from the normal google app store?

Well, Chernobyl did narrowly miss a much worse outcome: poisoning the water table in a thousand mile radius with corium. There is a real threat of catastrophic outcomes with fission reactors that don’t exist with other reactors. These are issues that can be prevented, but the inherent danger cannot be denied.
This sound awesome. I am sadly not located in the US, but I think we seriously need anonymous digital payment processors. Any compromise to qualities cash provides regarding identity isn't acceptable in my opinion. If you can set limits it would even provide tangible safety compared to classical payment processors.
Well, I like them a lot. It’s fine for people to ask why, but sometimes a project is just a project. Or maybe you wanted them for yourself and decided to be kind and open them up for everyone. In the good days of the Internet, the response would be: “that’s so cool! Great job!” I think that’s warranted here.

If I had to be nit-picky, my feedback would be: the lock and unlock icons are a bit too samey at small sizes on my non-high-res screen. Perhaps make unlock a bit more obvious? Shorten the open loop area a little more?

I think the heart might need a bit more dip at the top, too. Up close it’s a heart, but from further away the top part gets a little lost.

Finally, the laptop icon feels slightly off to me. I think maybe if the bottom “keyboard” part extended a little past the screen on the left and right it would feel better? Not sure.

I’m no expert on licensing, so double check that’s right. And I agree that you could probably crush them down more with an optimizer, but so can I. That’s easy enough. Overall: I like’em a lot! Great work. :)

There's a principle in Rust that only the function signature is needed to know if a function call is valid, without any need to look at the function body.

It makes things much easier to think about: at a minimum, if you change the body of a function it doesn't affect whether other code compiles or not. It's also one of the big differences between generic parameters (all in the function signature) and template metaprogramming (templates can do duck typing).

On one hand:

> Mitchell Baker, Mozilla's top executive, was paid $2.4m in 2018, a sum I personally think of as instant inter-generational wealth

It’s certainly not if you are in SV. And that number doesn’t even seem high to me, given her impressive background and the opportunity cost. That’s Facebook E7 money. Or Google L8 money. She would easily be hired above those levels at those companies.

On the other hand:

> But then, things are different at the Guardian. Their chief exec makes a mere £360,000 a year.

That’s quite high, for UK standards and for journalism standards.
Can't be at phase 2, because VS Code was written by MS.
Brendan Eich chose to apply for a leadership position in an organization which wears its stance on diversity issues on the proverbial sleeve. For some Mozilla folks that I know, this stance was a contributing factor in deciding where to work. Going on public record with an opposing stance on this was obviously controversial.

Given that access to health care is a major pain point for queer people in general and health care benefits are employer provided in the US made the matter even more pressing.

So yes, if you choose to apply for a position in an org that has a public stance on an issue, choosing to wear the opposing flag on your sleeve may not be the best move. You’re however, absolutely entitled to your opinion - you just have to deal with the results of your statements.
I find I often procrastinate when I haven’t done adequate planning. It’s easier to proceed when the next step is clear. So this was the most interesting part of the article to me:

> There were times when I felt an urge to stop and do anything else. I often get such urges when doing other activities, but this time I was able to resist them. I think that this might be because there was also a clear next step in this task, and also because I knew that the point of the task was to train my focus.

While I definitely agree with changing leadership. I dont think she can be described as parasitic leadership.

She is incompetent, but I dont think she has the intention to drive Mozilla to the ground. After all she co-founded the Mozilla Project, and was the Chairwoman for a long time, long before she was named the CEO.

Why did they not find someone else to be CEO is beyond me though.

In the digital audio world at large 1-3 people teams seem to be the norm. I suppose it's because it's a relatively small market with demand for highly niche products.

“Moonwalking with Einstein”, a book by Joshua Foer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonwalking_with_Einstein), is all about memorization techniques and memorization competitions. It’s a great read.

Haskell's killer feature here is higher kinded types. do notation is just a syntactic sugar. But (with the exception of Scala or PureScript) almost no other every-day language supports the ability for defining abstractions over higher kinded constructs like monads.
Wow. Again, the contents of the discussions are so obviously in favor of Assange (the accusation being really unfair and... dumb, again and again), and the judge is so clearly in favor of this dumb side.

What would be the possible recourse against the verdict, to protest to all these (voluntary) mistakes?

Is there any court in UK to which ask to undo and rejudge?

The accusation (Lewis) is so manipulative, asking witnesses to agree to assertions out of context and then applying them anywhere, sending them bundles of documents to read urgently the same morning as the trial and then blaming them for not having been able to do it, denying the qualification of all witnesses and experts altogether, etc.

The accusation is a representative of a Nation governed by the Rule of Law, isn't it?

And what about the judge who is very happy with all these cruel manipulations?

> I don’t have to (and do not) agree 100% with my CEO’s political views; that doesn’t impact his ability to lead nor my ability to execute.

If it was only views, I might agree with you. However, it wasn't just views. It was action. And it's easy to see how action can impact a CEOs ability to lead a team of people. Furthermore, we know for a fact in this case, it did literally affect his ability to lead and execute. This isn't a debate. It happened.

Simply put, he could not do his job effectively. So he stepped down. Others will say he was fired, but you can only think that if you think Eich lied.
This is a deeply false equivalence.

In the workplace, employees have (broadly speaking) a _legal_ right to be free from discrimination on the basis of protected grounds. If your boss (or their boss, or their boss, etc.) makes it clear they don't support that: that's not a political statement, it's workplace discrimination / harassment.

That a stance against marriage equality happens to overlap with political fault lines is _entirely beside the point_.

I switched from Firefox to Brave about 5 weeks ago, after Firefox released the new Android version that is unusable. I don't want to use different browsers on different platforms - I want my Linux, Windows, and Android all the same browser and synced. So far it's been great. I looked at the cross-platform alternatives, but wasn't happy (Vivaldi on desktop UI is very clunky, for example). I don't even care about BAT or Brave Rewards, the basic Chromium based Brave browser is solid.

Well, it is true that you are responsible for the way that you feel, and you can choose not only how to externally react to what people to say, but even teach yourself to internally process those messages as constructively as you want to.

The most powerful thing about words is the power the listener gives them.

I hope I've successfully fallen between the cracks of the perspective you outlined.
I'd pay for a supported product. I'll not just donate randomly into Mozilla, because that doesn't let them know what aspect of their work is useful to me.

I don't want Pocket. I don't want VPN. I'd pay for Firefox though, and only Firefox.

Buying a product to solve a problem is very different to donating to a foundation.
At first I was freaked out by this revelation.
But after thinking about it kinda takes the stress out of a lot of things. Doesn't matter that much how much you earn / what you work on / where you live. You get used pretty fast to all those things.

> If you don’t pay competitively, you won’t get someone who can do the job well.

I always have to think back to Jon Stewart on The Daily Show, who, in reaction to that exact argument for Goldman Sachs & Co paying out huge bonuses from the bailouts they've just received for crashing the economy shouted: You Don't Have The Best People.

What if you don't get the best people by offering huge financial incentives - what if you just get people who focus on financial incentives and career development, and what if those things do not strongly correlate with actually delivering higher value for the company?

> You’re basically handing a CEO a bunch of talented devs and free products and saying “make a revenue stream” for products where their competitors make a better product for free use.

"Here's a product that brings in 450-500 million a year, see what you can do". The users of Firefox aren't Mozilla's customers, it's Google & Co that are the customers. The users are the product.

Isn't the theoretical point of prison to rehabilitate? We want to take people who have wronged others and get them to take responsibility for their actions and make them productive members of society. Removing voting rights permanently certainly can't increase the engagement of criminals, enough that the voters of florida voted to enfranchise felons.
I would say yes, although in varying degrees and different qualities depending, some definitely have it worse than others, and that's not regardless of social position (for which race is a quite good correlation in the US because of our history of white supremacy, but is not the same thing).

But I guess we're talking about a couple things. The original topic was like "thinking you 'made it' all on your own." Then there's "feeling you are struggling hard and haven't 'made it' at all, when it could be a lot lot worse for many people on the planet." Seldom does "it's even worse for others" make someone struggling feel better though.

People compare their lot to their neighbors who they can see and come into contact with (even if via media), which is also human nature.

Mainly though, for this whole discussion on the OP, my thinking is -- people are sometimes talking as if Indians are so different than Americans with regard to prejudice about caste or in this case those who have 'made it' not realizing they pretty much just stayed in the social position they were born into -- when seems to me pretty similar. It's maybe easier to see when looking from the outside in than when looking at your own culture.
I was amused at that. It's clear this author is not Go's constituency. You cannot use types to ensure consistency in Go, you just have to write the algorithm correctly. But Go fronts the algorithm and keeps the noise around it to a minimum. They are opposed but equivalent strategies.
>For example, there is a thriving amateur "doujinshi" community that commonly take copyrighted characters without authorization and make porn manga out of it. There are usually sold at conventions like Comiket and can be found second hand in many of these big stores that all over Akihabara.

Rust was initially implemented in OCaml, even. But that said, it gained a lot of more Haskell like features later on; we ended up with type classes, not ML modules, for example.

EDIT: also, strictly speaking, Rust doesn't use Hindley-Milner, and we don't have parametric polymorphism.
