I fail to see how Windows is not the epitome of user abuse, granted I only occasionally have to use it nowadays so might be off. For starters migrating users to Windows 10 via dark UIs and even forced upgrades. Generally abusing the update channel and forcing updates users be damned. Enabling and re-enabling telemetry. Adding and re-adding Microsoft services people did not ask for. Ads in the Windows start menu.

It's not a comment that adds anything to the discussion. That's why you've been downvoted.
My honest answer if you carry no psychological problem which prevent you to deal with that situation: Start looking for a new job and suck it up.

I doubt it will change and I've never seen in my whole life a company take some attitude against people like this in companies. They usually don't get promoted, but they hardly get fired, and if you complain about it, you are taken as the weak/prey, not somebody that wants the company culture to not be toxic. It's generally a losing game.

Some companies put upfront that they want a non-toxic environment and make sure to have a diverse team, that people follow guidelines etc. In an environment like this it's possible to remove this kind of toxicity. Otherwise it's hopeless. You'll look like the crazy person trying to fix a toxic company.

One difference is that NYT isn't publishing the documents, only claims about them. Twitter doesn't censor unverifiable claims, such as the Presidents own claims about his tax returns.

The Post refuses to take down the link to what they claim are private photos and documents.

It seems pretty clear that they prefer to keep the conversation focused on the censorship of private photos (which they can then conflate with censorship of their corruption allegations) instead of on the mix of nothingburger and likely faked evidence against Joe Biden.
Sullivan identifies as a conservative and sometimes a Republican: https://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/22/books/review/Brooks.t.htm...

> “The conservatism I grew up around” Sullivan writes on the second page of the book, “was a combination of lower taxes, less government spending, freer trade, freer markets, individual liberty, personal responsibility and a strong anti-Communist foreign policy.” His heroes were Thatcher, Reagan, Solzhenitsyn, Havel, Hayek and Orwell.

Sullivan is ideologically similar to, and a fan of, Anthony Kennedy, who was a life-long Republican: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/06/anthony-kennedy-and-... (noting Kennedy’s “pragmatic libertarianism — his belief in limited government, pluralism, moderation, and social cohesion”).

It’s not really as simple as “Republicans moved too far to the right and he’s a liberal now.” For example, Sullivan is a devout Catholic who thinks Roe was wrong to take the decision on how to regulate abortion out of the hands of voters: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/05/andrew-sullian-a-way.... (He thinks voters would converge on laws like in France or Germany, allowing abortion up to 12 weeks with limited exemptions after that.)

He supported Bush (and thought Gore tried to steal the 2000 election) and the Iraq war initially. He soured on it later and reeled at Bush’s deficits and fiscal excess, and Bush’s support for the federal marriage amendment. He supported Ron Paul for the Republican primary. He hates Hilary Clinton but begrudgingly supported her against Trump. He is very much against the rise of critical theory and wokeness: https://andrewsullivan.substack.com/p/the-roots-of-wokeness. On LGBT issues, he thinks “the war has been won” after Gorsuch’s decision in Bostock: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/06/when-is-it-time-to-c.... In particular, he opposes the Equality Act’s attempts to eliminate religious freedom exemptions.

Circling back to the point: this is why a quarter of gay people identify as Republican (though Trump has been very unpopular). Most people have heterodox political views and don’t fit neatly into any particular camp. And the parties shift over time to capture different blocs so folks who aren’t strong partisans can find themselves shifting around. There’s plenty of people who would support the party of Biden over the party of Trump, but the party of Marco Rubio over the party of Bernie Sanders.

Using frameworks is far more about hiring and human resources than technology I feel.

However, if your "micro framework" follows language idioms and is thin enough you get the best of both worlds, whilst releasing yourself from some of the downsides that come with using a general purpose framework.

The key thing for me is that old API is not deprecated, and the React team have publicly stated that they intend to maintain it indefinitely (and indeed are still updating it to work with newer React features).

At $DAYJOB we have no intention to rewrite our older class based code to hooks (except where we're otherwise making significant changes to that bit of code), and indeed we're still writing some new code in the class style.

If you feel like you need to upgrade then I think that on you, not the framework.

There absolutely is evidence of this. It's just not "immunity for life", which is what people commonly seem to think of when they're talking about immunity.

When you've had an infection with one of those rather harmless yet still pesky other coronaviruses - otherwise known as the common cold - you're also immune, for a limited period of time, that is.

How much of an ecosystem do you really need? For me the key component are a state manager (e.g. mobX or Redux) and a Router (e.g. React Router). React Router has indeed been quite unstable, but that's gotten a lot better over the last couple of years. But React and Redux have both been super stable.

Terraform prints out the number of resources changed and at least requires a "yes" to proceed. Not quite as onerous as described but at least prevents some type of fat-fingering. Basically all changes with Terraform are risky as they usually involved bringing up and down infrastructure.

Terraform will perform the following actions:

# google_compute_instance.vm_instance will be created
+ resource "google_compute_instance" "vm_instance" {
+ ... <more>

Plan: 2 to add, 0 to change, 0 to destroy.

Do you want to perform these actions?

Only 'yes' will be accepted to approve.

When I had COVID-19, I was taken by an ambulance to the hospital. I was wearing two masks duct taped to my face and the paramedic was wearing one of those white bunny costumes where I could only see his eyes.

He strapped me in, and took my pulse and then placed his hand on my shoulder, which I thought was really unnecessary, because I was strapped pretty good to the bed, then I realized he touched my shoulder to calm me down, not to secure me from falls :)

Hi, Sebastien here, creator of this side project :)

A little context about the creation of the app:

It all started in July when, for the book I just started writing, I created a web app that generates the HTML and CSS to embed a 3D book cover on a website. I posted it here on HackerNews, and, big surprise, it was a huge success! It stayed #1 for the whole day and brought me a lot of useful feedback: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23896856

From that day, I kept in my mind to create an application to enable people to create a 3D Cover and embed it without caring about the HTML and CSS, just by copying and pasting a small code snippet wherever they want.

I developed it using tools I already knew, using cloud services when possible, because my goal was to release as soon as possible.

A small overview of the tech stack:

- Node.js/Express for the webserver

- Heroku to host the webserver

- MongoDB Atlas for the database

- React, only for the 3D cover editor

- Auth0 for the authentication

- Cloudinary to host images

- Stripe to handle premium account purchase

I think that this is what I was experiencing.

Because it's unweidly. Too verbose. A post is often no more than a sentence or less with a photo.Each comment on an entry would have to be another blog post with it's own attached/linked media. Also tag clouds lack structure. It's difficult to search across blogs (which would delinieate users). You could shoehorn it in, but the blog solution is nothing close to ideal.
To me Amiga's identity was:

• stunning graphics, audio, GUI, and multitasking

• demoscene community

• platform where "indie" creativity created "AAA" games

So it was mostly an artifact of its time. I don't think you can pack exactly these things in a single device any more. Maaaybe if there was a next-gen console, but with an open OS and hackable hardware?

But graphics are reaching diminishing returns (RTX is nice, but not a leap like going from cyan-pink CGA to HAM). Audio is good enough. Hardware for games has been mostly commoditized by big game engines. If you want to reinvent UIs or games, you can do that on any hardware now.

Demoscene was cool because it was pushing limits of the hardware. For a while now the hardware has been powerful enough that these limits aren't that interesting any more. Demoscene now thrives on artificial limits, like Pico8 or 1/4/64K demos.

> Within Hinduism though these things are verifiable. Rishis and yogis have verified reincarnation. Though I realize to anyone outside of Hinduism that it is circular reasoning, or not valid.

By itself that isn't circular reasoning, it is an appeal to authority.

It is when you are then asked why you trust what rishis and yogis say that things start to bend in on themselves into a circular argument.

A Western (specifically, Judeo-Christian) example:

"I believe X, because the Bible says so."

"How do you know that what the Bible says is true?"

"Because the Bible is the inerrant word of God."

"And how do you know that?"

"The Bible says so."

"And how do you know that what the Bible says is true?"

... etc.

By itself, the first statement is only an appeal to authority, but when you dig into the source of the authority, it (rather quickly) turns into a circular argument.

> There has never been an instance where I have not wanted backwards compatibility

There have been plenty of times where I have wanted to break backwards compatibility. Breaking backwards compatibility is always a cost-benefit analysis. I'll absolutely take a USB Type-C port on a new phone even if it means it wont be compatible with my existing Micro USB cables. At the same time, I do not value the tiny bit of extra thinness and waterproofing afforded by removing the 3.5mm headphone jack over the utility of the jack.

Breaking backwards compatibility is not inherently good or bad. It's a difficult decision which must be considered carefully. Sometimes it's great. Sometimes it's terrible. Sometimes it's a mixed bag.
Is this read only? Can files be edited?
The way I see it, Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, Google are so massive that they've become the defacto "public speaking" ground for online discussion nowadays. Nobody goes to generic-forums.com anymore to discuss their absurdist views unless they can't go anywhere else (like Voat). Discord is subtly filling this niche now but I'm unfamiliar with any moderating censorship similar to the ones I've stated above.

The majority of the niche platforms don't have an issue with censorship because they know their community will just naturally downvote things they dislike. That's why it never was an issue. But when things get as large as most social media has today, they are more than clearly stating they have a bias toward what people can and can't say whether or not it was said to a large or small group of people. Even trying to censor the president or cover up allegations against a candidate.

Whats weird to me is why Big Tech isn't trying to self regulate in a way that would appease the conservatives that are upset? That would for sure keep the government off of their tail. They didn't however and they tried doubling down on their agenda. Depending on the next election, this could really hurt them depending on how badly they want push for monopolistic practices.

https://digital.gov/resources/paperwork-reduction-act-44-u-s...

it requires the office of management and business to calculate the impact of records-keeping requirements impact on time and privacy, among other things.

I do not believe it has resulted in a reduced recordskeeping burden. For the most part I simply see an estimate of how long it will take to complete my tax forms and permits, on the form itself. Perhaps others have different views.

That is only true on the surface. The “evidence” that guides the majority of trades is made up of signals created by all kinds of irrational behaviour.

Something that is appraised by its future value, by definition won’t ever be purely evidence based.

It still works as long as people you knew have moved on from your last job. Just ask them for a reference. There's always edge cases but I'd argue the vast majority of people in tech aren't impacted by them.

> requires internet connection for both parties (credit cards only require the merchant to be connected)

In China it's quite common for the merchant to have a static printed-out QR code for receiving payment. This requires a connection only for the payer (and merchants will often have WiFi available, so you're likely to be able to connect one way or another). These merchants tend to just trust you when you pay and then show them the "paid" screen on your phone. You could fake it, but I guess in general people don't, and the "paid" screen does include the merchant's chosen profile image, so you would have to have done your homework to fake it.

> scanning is worse ux than tapping

This is really true. When I lived in Shanghai it was pretty common to be stuck behind someone at the metro turnstile who was trying to use the stupid QR scanning thing to get in. Contactless is much smoother, but at one time QR code was the only way to use your mobile device to get into Shanghai's metro. Now Apple Pay supports the Shanghai transit card.
> We don't need an anti trust breakup of big tech.

This is a really bad take. The amount of Google's power and control isn't something a handful of HN users switching to Firefox can fix. Most people literally don't realize there's alternatives. There's a silent majority feeding the Google beast, and they aren't going to switch from the defaults. Tech industry members can set the tone, we can spread good behavior to our friends and family, but the government is needed to move the majority.

Bear in mind, everyone hates Microsoft (seems like sometimes anyways), they did face antitrust law, and still in 2020, they're one of the world's most powerful and valuable companies, and everyone still uses Windows at work. Which is to say, if we want to take Google down, it needs to come from every direction, and it needs to be incredibly harsh. And once Google is no longer running the web, stronger privacy and consumer protection laws need to be passed to make sure it's understood that behavior like Google's will never be tolerated again.
Running Python is not a performance cost. The meaning behind "no performance cost" is that a tool like this is unlikely going to impact the performance of the application that is being profiled. The fact that Python is not a "fast" programming language is then a different matter.

It's time we started separating actions that are illegal from those which violate company policy.

Illegal actions should be dealt with by the police and the courts. Apart from providing evidence, the company should stay out of things.

Company policy violations should be dealt with by the company as they see fit, including no punishment at all, or even a bonus!

In this case, the article criticizes the company for not sufficiently punishing people for their actions, when clearly it's a matter for law enforcement not the company.
I suppose at the end of the day, I just don't see Twitter or Facebook playing some level of QA in manipulated media as censorship of free speech. Requiring some level of investigative work before publishing potential election-changing "news" doesn't seem at all controversial to me.

Social media companies already have undue influence over our democracy. I think we've already seen the damage they can do when they take a hands-off approach. There is no action they can take (or not take) that will not have major political implications. Do nothing and misinformation spreads like wildfire, likely first by bad-faith actors then by good and bad-faith actors. But doing something is fraught. Yet, I advocate for trying something over keeping one's hand off the till as we're talking about the real world here, and it is marginalized and under-served communities that ultimately pay the price.
I suspect that may have been their point.
