Totally, I'm also 6'5 so definitely feel your pain there.

Quite a contrast from my memories of being a kid sliding about on the back seat of a Mini without so much as a seatbelt.
I'm not sure what the message is here. Is the author suggesting that we shouldn't seek further progress, now that these solutions to old problems exist? I think he overlooks the fairly obvious fact that today's solutions are tomorrow's problems, and that this is the march of progress.

One day people will be reading that, before [innovative new material], we had to use PLASTIC everywhere! Imagine how terrible it would be to go back to those bad old days, with plastic infiltrating all stages of the food chain and causing all manner of problems. So everyone criticizing [innovative new material], you should become industrially literate so you can see how bad plastic was before you go trying to limit or improve [innovative new material].
Sure, and embezzlement might be a plus for a very specific finance job, namely, searching for evidence that embezzlement has happened.

Point is that it's relevant under those circumstances, and fair play for an employer search. Drunken and disorderly is not.
In 2 years we all frown on main and think how stupid it was and we change it to default

/sarcasm?
It seems pretty obvious it died down as a result of the shift to knowledge economy. It would reverse if manufacturing & the trades resurged in importance.

I'm old enough to remember when the back of a cereal box had a record imprinted on it. You cut it out and played it on a record player.
Terrible. Mozilla should focus on building Firefox, the one thing that gives them any relevance (and actually funds these idiotic initiatives), instead of wading into the quagmire that is politics and culture wars.

Generally people who are concerned about Political Correctness are defending the status quo. "The right distance" is no change from the status quo. Anything which might move the needle away from the current state is "too far".

For sure. As Brooks might say, code like that is high in "essential complexity". There's almost no boilerplate - there's a nearly 1:1 ratio of lines of code to important idea.
Signs Software Reliability Should Be Your Top Priority
I presume that if the astronomers did spot an imminent supernova that threatens to extinguish life on earth, we’d collectively respond by lowering interest rates to stimulate the economy...
Sure. I don't really care, myself. Besides, it's just how Microsoft is deciding they want their service to work by default. It's hardly even a shift.

I don't understand all the huff. The branch names were designed to be mutable in the first place.
Sharing a charger isn't the only cool thing. Being able to attach an ordinary USB-C thumb drive to an iPad is a very useful too. If only computers (including MacBooks and desktop PCs) had more (2 is never enough) full-featured (Thunderbolt-enabled) USB-C ports (and didn't give up built-in SD card readers) that would really be awesome.

I personally don't care how it's named, but it seems silly to change a commonly used word because one of its multiple meanings in a completely different context is associated with something bad.

If we are going this route, just in case we should also remove the word "default", because it means failure to repay a debt, to avoid upsetting somebody in a tough economic situation.
I don't have any evidence either way so all I can do is appeal to common sense, but I can't imagine most of the organizations hit by ransomware didn't at least devote some extra amount of attention or resources towards IT security in response. At a bare minimum I'd expect them to at least patch the vulnerability that the ransomware used to infect their systems.

Are there any examples of orgs that have been repeatedly hit by ransomware over and over?

Working backups are not enough to insulate you from this threat. If you allow an attacker to remain within your systems long enough you might find they've encrypted all your backups!

Technical points aside:

I doubt those youtube historians could possibly do more damage to false history lessons, than all those cheaply made hollywood "historical" movies.

And the youtube historians I have seen, were very good. So mostly on the right side in battle to truth (dramatically speaking) and mostly not on the side of cheap effects for drama, or even intentional misleading for political reasons.

(seriously, there is nothing wrong with historic fiction - but it disturbs me deeply that a) most movies/books are not labeld that way, even if they should and b) even if it is labeled, most people probably do not notice)
Their synthetic USD is perfectly fine and I would say is better than Bitmex, Bitmex has memes made about how bad their platform is. They were just the first movers/innovators who invented the financial product and now have really good network effects. These other exchanges trade billions in notional synthetic USD per day.

Some of the big Chinese synthetic USD exchanges don't require any ID verification.
Hypothetical reasons why this may be the case:

1. The most egregiously racist judges probably work in districts which they rarely encounter minorities.

2. Regions with large minority populations have to deal with much more crime in general, so may have lighter sentences for equally severe crimes.

3. Minorities are more likely to plead out and never go to trial, skewing sample size.

To be clear, I doubt that state judges are better than federal ones. After all, criminal justice corruption in smaller towns in America is staggering. Not too long ago, a judge was indicted for being bribed by the owners of a jail to hand down severe sentences to minority offenders.
1. That's racist.

2. They make money off it - thus higher value equipment. Definitely not a $10 soldering iron.

3. Building from scratch is about 100x easier and less error prone with through hole construction, than SMD. Soldering onto an existing PCB is not an issue at all here.

4. When you can't afford to scrap a $4 MCU, because you overheated it with your $5 soldering iron - DIP package can be mounted into a special socket. SMD - cannot.
Back in college, I etched my own PCBs in tupperware with muratic acid, with Sharpie marker as the mask. Nowadays I buy $2 (for 5) PCBs from china. Equipment-wise, you can reflow SMDs quite well on a frying pan.
I totally expected this to be a joke where the site was blank.

I haven't worked with C++ for years, and it's nice to see there really has been some progress improving some of the C++ parts.
When people say that social media is unhealthy, they usually have in mind a certain generation of social media when like counts had been introduced, an algorithmically-generated feed, a membership that sought to include everyone, including your family members, etc. Essentially that kind of social media only arose towards the end of the first decade of the new millennium when Facebook became entrenched.

Yet many older members of HN spent a significant portion of our lives on the internet of the late 1990s and early 2000s, and we don’t feel that that online life was destructive. If anything, it was often liberating: someone growing up in a strict conservative community or in a relatively poor country could discover there was more out there. A broad range of smaller special-interest forums instead of a feed-generating one-stop-shop like Facebook or Reddit, tended to keep partisan politics and conspiracy theories away.

I’m not pessimistic that that kind of good internet socializing can’t be restored for much of the population – I deleted my Facebook and Reddit accounts years ago and yet I still have found enjoyable connections with other people on various hobby forums. Some independent forums are struggling as younger generations are lost to walled gardens like Facebook, but there are efforts that could be made to fight this.

Portugal drug model does not excuse murder. Again, no clue why you keep bringing this up.

Racist speech and thought is often followed through with racist action, and this can be overt, but much of it is subversive throughout a society/culture, especially one that openly tolerates racist expression.

Ignoring racism also doesn't do anything positive, and in some cases encourages it. There's also a view point that people speaking up about racism is "cancel culture", and there are people who want to cancel that "cancel culture". Sorry, but at some point there has to be some nuance and middle ground of tolerable/intolerable and this is always going to be fuzzy, especially in a dynamic environment of social media.

It doesn't really sound like you have a solution, other than "ignore it" or continuing the status quo, which includes "cancel culture". You cannot prevent someone from saying racist crap on twitter, but then you also can't ban the blow back that person gets. If nothing should be done, then you accept that social media has its positives and negatives, and allow the adults to be responsible for what they say and be willing to accept the blow back for any heinous crap spouted out on it, just like Dick Costolo will have to face, which you bringing it up seems to kinda be an attempt at cancel culture.
There is evidence. Physical evidence in fact.

You can find people with mental conditions that involve a complete lack of morality. If you scan these people with an MRI you actually find actual correlated differences in their brain.

The term for this type of mental condition is antisocial personality disorder. The popular term is psychopathy.

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/the-neuroscien...

It's hard to beat an MRI of the brain and an arrow pointing to a picture of the part of your brain that is moral.

Unless you disagree with physical structures in the brain being the result of natural selection, such evidence supports morality being the result of natural selection.

I loved my iPod nano back in the first and second generation. But I always carry my phone with me for safety reasons, and it just turns out to be redundant.

Still... I keep thinking that I'd like to get into multi-day hikes, and when I do it would be nice to have a dedicated player that lasted for days without being recharged.
I understand there's a larger point being made here but I wouldn't give the decision that the Julia team made about scoping as an example of how to design a language. It makes the language inconsistent and now both beginners and experienced developers have to learn an exception instead of one group having to learn a slightly novel approach to scoping.
You're telling the chap who couldn't afford a breadboard to use a 3D printer.
Best lesson learned on plastering - thin it out a bit with water and add a little dish soap - helps keep bubbles out. Google it (where I got it from lol)

Ceilings are the hardest part :( So much reaching :( Eventually I got good at corners but that took effort.
Apparently, they are of the opinion that Bitmex did operate in the US:

> With the opportunities and advantages of operating a financial institution in the United States comes the obligation for those businesses to do their part to help in driving out crime and corruption.
I too am from the left-liberal side of things, and I am always flummoxed when I see people on HN immediately generalizing every misstep they see to all developers, and only to developers. Why should developers be holier than the average population?

But as for question, yes, we do say those things here. But I'm from the European mainland, and we do enjoy stereotyping each other. That has nothing to do with racism or bigotry, but with acknowledging and celebrating differences. I'm reminded of a comic that I came across around the time of the introduction of the Euro, and I saved it because I thoroughly enjoyed it: https://imgur.com/a/SmdkRLZ

So please, do not assume malice whenever someone points out cultural differences. Humor can be a connecting force, not just a dividing one.

>It's not that hard to be a member of free society instead of prison society - don't break the law, repeatedly.

Wow. It's THAT SIMPLE! Would you like to report this to the media or should I?

Most "criminals" are people who are from severely disadvantaged socioeconomic and/or family backgrounds. Gee, what a coincidence. You mean the people who grew up without an opportunity in the world resort to crime to try to stay afloat? Shocking I tell you.

>What makes you think they want to be a 'productive member of society'?

What a pompous ass statement. What makes you think they DO NOT want to be a productive member of society given the proper opportunity?
If you're booking economy flights, you're probably not getting good value.

International business and first class flights are often 2x or 3x the number of miles, but usually 5x to 15x the number of dollars.
I expect everyone will see that "1.". The site creates an <ol> around each bullet so it will start from 1 each time.
> The Switch and Switch Dock are not USB-C devices.

Why? Why was it so hard for them to implement USB-C the proper way? Why were they allowed (and why did they want) to use patented USB-C plugs if they didn't want to actually implement USB-C? The only explanation I can come up with is they intended to earn money from repairing.
Are there actually countries where it would be illegal to require your full time employees to not also have full time employment with a competitor?
> They play on stereotypes constantly.

Above is true. But below is also true:

> make many immigrant coworkers deeply uncomfortable (especially if they are women)

You can also add gay people, trans, etc - and even things like being smart, or stupid, or being a man or woman, or blond or redhead or... etc - to the list who have to endure feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome (and often keeping it to themselves or playing along) in a workplace where "they" are made fun of regularly.

I think it's because humour and oppression both exist, and actual for real consequences of the latter have been very severe and sometimes still are. It's hard to tell how much of each is really in process at any moment, so of course it's uncomfortable, and of course if someone feels they have to fit in to keep in their colleague's good books at work, they'll tend to keep their discomfort and background to themselves.

It's a bad standard if shorting adjacent pins fries equipment. That the people created a standard like that means they aren't competent to create these sort of standards.
Yeah, as Firefox growth it attracted people too focused on their monthly bonuses instead of sharing the freedom ideals of their user base, the CEO should be someone like Linus Torvalds or Jeremy Hordward, but still getting business people in the team (e.g. the CFO) but never letting them be the majority of decision makers.
Language is way too nuanced for us to allow the negative uses to infect the non-negative uses.

This whole thing is stupid. Its normalizing treating language and words in a "gold nugget in a pile of shit" sort of way.

If you could tell me that this whole push would not also come with a slowly growing judgement of people who don't conform to this new nomenclature it would be easier for me to not care. But thats never how these things work, and I can't really support adding more and more landmines for people to stumble over in social situations for no gain.

And it all comes back to context. Allowing bad contexts to infect other contexts just isn't maintainable. Its unneeded mental load to social situations, and it runs counter to how language functions.
Lots of plastic balls.
Not quite mutually exclusive, I think. The combination just means we always try the "true" path first, in our depth-first search of paths out of the script.
It's about the address space size, not the available memory. For example you can't really have large stacks with 32-bit because if you spin up a few thousand threads you run out of address space, even if you don't run out of physical memory. Not a problem on 64 bit.
I've actually wished for something that takes it the other direction: Technically, everything it does is allowed, but it's designed to stress-test your assumptions. So, a distro that replaces half of coreutils with busybox, the other half with toybox or BSD ports or something, the system libc is musl, build tools are patched to randomly switch between using gcc or clang (both of which have `-Werror` enabled by default), user home directories are created like `/home/First Last/` (and if it doesn't have a last name for you it'll just leave a trailing space in the name), mktemp likewise is patched to stick temporary files somewhere other than `/tmp` by default (and always somewhere with a space in the name), /bin/sh is provided by dash (this isn't super rare, but some stuff still assumes that BASH is /bin/sh), normal programs are all in PATH but /usr/bin is empty (or maybe chmodded 000 or something)...

The idea is, if your code builds and works on this system, it'll run anywhere, correctly, because the system leaves no room for "oh, everybody does it this way, so it's fine to rely on this non-standard behavior".
And of course they mention changes to the law caused by the Patriot Act as being the source of the charges.
As an italian-descent that wants to move to Japan and lives in a town full of german immigrants...

I have no clue what on the world you are talking about.
I like this change. “main” is more easily understood.

Presumably GitHub will be around for a while so this change will forever make it a little bit more straightforward for people new to GitHub.

Additionally if anyone says that they’d benefit from the change then I think it’s best to take them at their word because the cost to change is not high.
captured government lmao

this is pretty default behavior for the US

everything anyone told you about the US dollar use being needed to establish jurisdiction was a lie, I have literally only heard that from crypto people, arent these the same people that used to say “litecoin is asic proof because its memory hard” lmao

right, not new news.

The criminal charges are around the Bank Secrecy Act and Conspiracy to circumvent some Bank Secrecy Act requirements

What right? Its not a right its a privilege the US has that most countries around the world will listen to it. Many countries have laws to exercise jurisdiction outside of their borders, they’re just irrelevant. They are irrelevant markets, irrelevant geopolitically, have no resources to pursue or even bother charging people, faces actual consequences from trading partners if they did try, everything is distinctly opposite for the US.
Really interesting, thanks for sharing this
