Can't fit arbitrarily large numbers of people on a laptop screen, it's way harder to pick up this kind of motion from a mosaic of small 2d tiles, and everyone needs their camera on which isn't always feasible (connection issues, privacy of others in a home office setting, etc.)
By meta I mean Hacker News threads about Hacker News. Meta is the crack of internet forums. Users tend to flag such threads and moderators tend to moderate them because they're mostly all the same, they breed like rabbits if allowed to, and they're not actually interesting—they're internet drama, which feels interesting but isn't. Such pseudo-content pleases/riles the self-obsessed minority (I mean the minority of HN users who are fascinated with HN, which certainly includes me) but leaves the majority of the audience cold. Self-referentiality is one way for a forum to lose its audience, and our #1 job is to prevent that happening to HN.

This is bog standard HN moderation, btw, and has been the same for many years: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu.... Even my analogies have been the same for years: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu.... Everyone who rushes to post such a thread feels like this is the one that changes everything, but that's the crack talking.

I realize that your intention was good and that what I'm saying here must sound cynical and heavyhanded, but you have to understand what it's like to see these things a hundred times and realize that they're never different and never lead anywhere. If they don't make you feel weary and slightly nauseated, that's because you haven't seen too many of them yet.
Windows support as starter.
Yes. It's the same reason I don't shop at Hobby Lobby despite a boycott potentially causing innocent workers to lose their livelihood.
Is there data supporting the conclusion that lack of housing is what causes homelessness? I always thought that it was more of a failure of the social safety net.
Speaking as a masters student who's had a lot of seminars through teams it is a fairly good solution. However, it requires effective moderation - the situation is still lacking in social cues.
It’s not just an option, that’s how most header only libraries are explicitly created.

I believe he is successfully pointing out the hypocrisy.
I wouldn't expect it, because I have been here long enough to know that that is just not going to happen, but I would very much like it to be so, yes. Rehashing the same topic whenever you see something tangentially related is just a lazy karma grab, not an attempt at creating interesting, insightful conversation.

Look, I get it, sometimes you want to rant about a company that you think is doing something you don't like: my point is that we have specific threads for them where such a comment could at least be on-topic. When you come to an article that about Pinterest doing some git thing to make their builds faster and your comment is "they're ruining my search!" you're commenting at the level of someone who hasn't read the blog post.

Aren't we then back at the problem with using eval?
Your analogy isn’t really valid, because in the rocket situation you’re flipping the rocket and throwing exhaust forward to slow down. That would be analogous to throwing apples forwards, not backwards.

So you’ve never had problems with vendoring in Golang? At least this particular strategy makes it trivial to have different versions of different libraries in different projects on the same machine, each project entirely manages its own dependencies without any reliance on language specific tools. That’s why this kind of library format is so extremely popular.
> Do you consider conference call meetings to be more productive than in person?

Not more productive, but more efficient in the sense that they take less time; everyone on our team has to travel to meet in person, so in the end, it has to be conf calls. I also do not feel it's that big a difference; I prep for calls the same as in person meetings, usually they end fairly quickly because everything was pre-cooked in email / chat.
This is a difficult problem. The US department of energy did a study on it awhile ago, but sadly the page was scrubbed a few years ago.

Fortunately, it was archived:

https://web.archive.org/web/20170910060455/http://www.wipp.e...

Some interesting excerpts:

>We decided against simple "Keep Out" messages with scary faces. Museums and private collections abound with such guardian figures removed from burial sites. These earlier warning messages did not work because the intruder knew that the burial goods were valuable.

>Note our use of irregular geometries and denial of craftsmanship. None of our designs uses any of the regular or "ideal" geometric forms, and only crude craftsmanship is sought, except for the precision of engraved messages. Why? the geometry of ideal forms, like squares and cubes, circles and spheres, triangles and pyramids is a fundamental human invention, a seeking of perfection in an imperfect world. Historically, people have used these ideal forms in places that embody their aspirations and ideals. In our designs, there is much irregularity both of forms and in their locations and directions, yet done by people with obvious knowledge of pure geometry. This shows as understanding of the ideal, but at the same time a deliberate shunning of it...suggesting we do not value this place, that it is not one that embodies our ideals.

>In short, to ensure the probability of success, the WIPP marker undertaking will have to be one of the greatest public works ventures in history.

>...it is largely a self-correcting process if anyone intrudes without appropriate precautions, and it seems unlikely that intrusion on such buried waste would lead to large-scale disasters. An analysis of the likely number of deaths over 10,000 years due to inadvertent intrusion should be conducted. This cost should be weighted against that of the marker system.
this is a strawman argument.

Ppl will likely die because of this leak, I don't think there was any informed decision weighing the risks of both approaches before making the choice.

Every year I see leak after leak in medical data, I am only an developer not in the industry, but the nature of the leak has always indicated massive incompetentence and poor design or ops, rather than than real need for patience care.

Storing data in public S3 bucket has nothing to do with patient care, unwilling to invest to upgrade from windows XP has nothing to do with abiltiy to give care. Ransomware attacks because of aging stack has nought to do with privacy or care.

There is very very little need to aggregate data given the risk of leaks, and very little value to any single patient when his data gets aggregatated. A system not influenced by pharma or software industry would make it incredibly expensive or hard to collect aggregate data, while keeping individual records usuable

The harsh reality is hospital administration and regulation tends to be skewed with doctors, it is the same with legislators who tend to be lawyers, or professional management tend to be sales than tech. None of these groups understand the nuances of tech always to manage or regulate them better, sometimes they are smart or trust their advisors and get it right, but it hit and miss.

Data is money today , so industry is not interested in better safety of medical data either, preventing aggregate collection will loose a lot of value for med tech companies.
What hn_throwaway_99 means is: If the policy was "Homeless people rent a house of their choice and the state pays the rent" or "homeless people get cash to spend as they see fit" it wouldn't matter if there were low minimum standards and shitty houses on the market, as they would be rejected by everyone looking for housing - including homeless people.

In contrast if the policy is "Government pays the rent on the cheapest houses on the market, for homeless people" or "government has a fixed budget and must house as many homeless people as possible" then the legal minimum standard is crucial, because that's what you'll likely be giving to homeless people.

For councils to build houses and build them to a reasonable standard would, as you say, be another option.
Sorry, I don't recall the specific details of glass polishing in this story; probably the datum I said does not make sense.

You can find this inspiring story, and many, many others, on Feynman lectures on physics. I'm sure the stories as written by Feynman will be exact and true.
Caveats: this is in Australia, and I believe we've had legal advice a few times encouraging us to stop, because it could expose us to litigation

The situation in the EU is the exact opposite. As any company can be compelled to disclose electronic records, and all recruitment is done that way now, good companies get ahead of GDPR requests by proactively providing feedback.

Macs designers are snowflakes on a world where Apple computers accounts for 10% of world market. Designers working on 90% of the rest of the world also need their tools.

Sketch did not invent anything, similar tools were already available on the 90's.

If industry you mean Web designers using Macs around Silicon Valley coffee shops then maybe you're right.

Good luck noticing that in the grid of 16 people on your tiny laptop screen.
This is either ignorant or disingenuous. There are plenty of us who live in SF and want to continue living here, and it has nothing to do with jobs.

I do welcome the departure of people who don't actually like the city and have been "forced" to live here due to their job. I feel like the city will be a lot healthier from a community standpoint with a higher percentage of people who want to live here.
And what's the leakage rate during production, transportation and combustion? Methane is 80x more potent than co2.
A lot more efficient. This sounds like a novelty, but in reality, bicycles are for endurance more than sprint. Using a battery as a buffer would enable a customer to pedal until the battery is charged enough to blend a smoothy. That could be a slow 20 minutes cycle out a 5 minutes sprint.
I remember fuzzing stb_truetype and it finding hundreds of trivial segfaults instantly. Perhaps they fixed some but I can't advise using these with any untrusted data, it's obvious security is usually not a priority.

Yet there are very many substantial libraries that go well beyond small tasks that are implemented this way, some of them very popular.
The solution in TFA works behind NAT and routers/firewalls, and has the added benefit of encrypting all of the traffic between the two machines thanks to SSH.

I’m not sure people who aren’t network administrators should be putting public IPv6 all over their LAN behind their router, at least not until v6 is more common and routers have better inbound security features for such things (like how NAT functions today for v4).
Workarounds then. One can also use PowerPoint based design then.
The point is it’s not directly relevant to the article, and on top of that GP’s particular complaint was especially generic. In this case Pinterests negative impact is not that interesting and it’s constantly discussed too.
So lets not generalize it works for everyone.
GP isn't talking about the runtime implementation but rather the serialization format. You can serialize a map as a list. Therefore, a hypothetical Lisp-like language based around maps could simply end up consisting of lists that contain key value pairs.
Sorry no. If an article is paywalled, on Pinterest, or similar, then please let's discuss the source instead, even if it ruins the discussion, so people learn not to post such links.
The desktops are more rugged and robust in every means at most of the times.

I do not remember using a laptop as my primary dev machine in last 10 years, I use the same 10 year old c2d 2.5ghz machine with newer motherboard(2014-g41mcombo gigabyte) and enough ram.

The system runs both ubuntu and windows 7 at ease and I am not considering update in at least next year. that describes the robustness of desktop.
It is not that desktop does not break, they do quite often. But mostly we can manually troubleshoot them, In 10 years I have fried a motherboard, bricked 2 psu, ram and 3 harddrives. Its that I can just fix broken part and get going.

Hardware upgrades are only required if you are resource constrained, like require multiple vm, or multimedia editing and some crypot type gpu and cpu intensive stuffs. Even in those cases desktop shines.

Laptops are really great for mobility and they are really capable machines which can be configured to comparable performance with most of the desktops but not in durability and flexibility.
> questionable #ifdefs

There’s nothing questionable about this practice, it’s pretty widely used throughout the industry.
That's an interesting board, although over what I'd be able to put together / solder.

I wonder what processor it's using? The video codec support suggests it's a fair few years old.
I have laptop and
1. 32" external display
2. wireless fullsize keyboard
3. wireless mouse
4. two hard drives inside, no problem to upgrade if I felt like
5. agree, laptop taking some space, but if I really cared I could buy vertical stand
6. so does mine laptop
7. my laptop has 4, I use permanently only 1
8. I could replace pretty much everything besides motherboard and CPU
9. so are refurbished good quality thinkpad and dell paotps
10. laptops have also plenty of configs
11. that's really unlikely scenario
12. my laptop has permanently closed lid, so no camera, but yeah, microphone would need to be disabled if I worried so much
Adding high value to stolen personal data is a sufficient bad regulation alone.

The goal is to remove value so there's no expectations of ransom and therefore no thefts. If a company has to pay X for the loss off data, they would be fools not to pay x/100 to someone who breaks in, steals the data and promises not to report it.
I've been in contact with Kubernetes (either following development or actively managing clusters) since the 1.0 days and all I can think when I read a list like this is: wake me up in a year or two when consolidation is over because it's simply too much for a single person.
The 'better medicine' we have nowadays is less toxic but barely more effective than placebo (I would argue they ARE just placebo, with trials being invalidated by broken blinds).
> Squaw is not 3 hours from SF, not even with no traffic (this scenario doesn't really exist) and good weather.

I'm sure this is mainly due to the pandemic, but I just drove back from there last month (slightly farther than Squaw, actually), and it took 3 hours and a single-digit number of minutes. Hell, the travel time Google is showing from Squaw right now is 3 hours and 9 minutes.

I do agree that's atypical. But... so what? "Correct" the parent's statement to "4 hours" and the argument is just as valid. Seems like you're nitpicking and missing the forest for the trees.
Nice that it provides a list of how cheap they are and cover design for native applications on Windows.
SSH tunnels do not run TCP inside of them, just the bytes of the connection data itself.

I'm not even complaining about Hacker News being predictive, we all know that likes to have certain conversations and there is no stopping that. My only request is that this doesn't happen in every single thread regardless of whether it is relevant or not. (To be clear, I am "guilty" of the former myself; there are a handful of topics that I have a particular opinion about and I don't hesitate to share them even if I have mentioned them many times before. I just try to not bring them up in places where they clearly have no connection to what's being talked about.)
This is the pipeline of talent that companies need, right now.

Why is there this persistent and well publicized need and effort to suck "kids" into this pipeline of well paying jobs? Maybe the answer lies on the other end of the pipe?

Could it be because large numbers of these "careers" don't last beyond middle age for a multitude of reasons? Could this persistent shortage all be due to the less publicized fact that companies use up, burn out and dispose of STEM workers at an exceedingly high rate? Could it be that the career trajectory for STEM often resembles that of professional baseball with only a tiny fraction of the payout?

Could it be that the realistic, overall perspective on these high paying "careers" isn't all rainbows and unicorns?
It’s not surprising when certain firms evoke a strong personal feeling, but it’d be terribly exhausting if every article about, say, React, attracted the annotation that Facebook is the Philip Morris of media. The subsequent discussion then tends toward the divisive and derisive rather than the illuminating and informative. Hard to tell anyone they should suppress what they feel, but overall I’d tip the balance towards “fewer like this please.”
On the contrary. I've been on an island literally halfway across the world and it's been quite good. I primarily do non-SSH stuff. I surf the web, use IDEs etc.

When I'm at my cabin with 10/2 Mbps internet it's like I'm at home, except when I forget myself and start watching YouTube, then I notice the reduced quality of the video (RDP selectively encodes fast-updating regions to lowish bitrate h264 or similar).

I even do my Teams stuff over RDP, bidir sound just works without fiddling.
I guess you're right. I've not noticed this being a topic before, and I should have spent more words telling that the article in question is actually quite interesting, it definitely made me consider our own Jenkins setup.
How the WHOIS service exposes personal data
No, because you control the base primitive functions by passing in fns. In more formal terms, you can control the context.

If we really cared, it would be trivial to extend this to a typed variant or change the evaluation semantics. Here's an example in another language [1].

How can you prove that youtube dl is used specifically for, say, classroom purposes? Can you prove it? Probably not.

Is circumventing a copyright mechanism an educational or journalistic purpose? In a testsuite? ...

Even when siding with you, you would need a court case to evaluate whether fair use applies or not.

Again, as I said, unnecessary attack surface. I don't care whether you or I am right or wrong. Nobody of us can be right unless a court case has been made.

It's unnecessary and could have been prevented.
Hydrogen cannot travel faster than the speed of light neither is it replenish-able in space. There is no magnetic field nor electric field propagating through spacetime. However there is a continuous gravitational field that can be tapped into. Even our solar system rotates around the milky wave using this gravitational field. It is of interest to pursue the development of 'Field Propulsion' engine.
From a technical point of view, they are 100% exactly the same. You use the same tools and methods to accomplish similiar goals (to understand the reaction of people to particular treatments/interventions.

So, this is a messaging experiment, which is pretty standard within psychology. The only interesting thing about this (and the only reason it's in Nature) is the size, not the experimental design.

> The difference between AB testing and Facebook's experiments should be obvious to anyone familiar with those experiments, as the aim has been to research and alter human behaviour in general

This is what AB tests do. You change the colour of the button, and conversion rate (i.e. the proportion of people that give you money) goes up or down. How is this different from people taking an action (self-reported, btw so potentially garbage) around an election? Seriously, i would love to know the actual difference here.

You may not like Facebook, hell, I may not like Facebook but it's just inaccurate to say that they are uniquely bad because they run experiments on people, when my entire career both in academia and industry has been running experiments on people and that's somehow OK.
I don't disagree. My top comment was that if you are maintaining a list of single-header libs, might also pay attention to whether they are implemented properly.
Similar to how "not every Trump Voter is a >>Proud Boy<<" not every Biden supporter is a yard-sign stealing communist. Actually the extremists are in the minority in both groups. If you start going down that road and base your vote on how bad the worst people on the other side are, democracy is pretty much collapsing already.

The same reason it's acceptable to pay less to a cleaner than it is an engineer. It's about supply & demand and attracting the talent you need. If people are willing to work for less then employers will pay them less.
Go has found a space in networking.

What Java and Python offer is a single language with networking (sockets), familiar and/or easy syntax, portability, and GUI capability.

Visual Basic was not in the same league (failed portability), but it too had these features.
It's just a bad list. It includes hosted Kubernetes solutions, application unrelated to Kubernetes (which may run on top, think Postgres), deployment options, built-in metrics, and lots of other random things. It's as if someone googled Kubernetes and copy & pasted and first 20 pages without any understanding or theme. This looks like some PR person hired a a low-cost freelance writer to "write something about Kubernetes because it's hot and we need traffic, deliver it tomorrow" - It's like someone writing "50+ useful Python packages" and just listing 50 completely random packages.

I've been operating Kubernetes clusters for years now, and most of these are completely irrelevant to me, dead, or I've never heard of them. Don't equate bad lists with complexity.
Although it says that this list is "for 2020" it seems pretty outdated at a glance through. They've got items like Twistlock which got bought by Palo Alto in July 2019, and another one in the security section they mention hasn't been updated since October 2018.
There they go htop, netcat, kill, and the whole unix pipe system. No, thanks. Programs monitoring other programs is the very essence of computing for us greybeards, and you will take this from our cold, dead hands!
