> who doesn't trust people

I do not trust people because I write in a journal? How is this incriminating? I don't find it any more peculiar than speaking to oneself or opening with "dear diary" -- as if those who address their text to something inanimate are any better. I fail to see any merit in this revelation aside from attacking my character. I could try and dig up something equally irrelevant from your history but I find that act to be in poor taste.

> You seem to think 'How to win friends & influence people' is an acceptable instruction book for manipulating people

Once again the context is conveniently missing: the individual I was replying to described himself as someone who dislikes talking to average people (had a sense of superiority). I figured rather than offer him something vague and patronizing like, "be nice and try to be humble", I would endorse a resource that would offer solutions pertinent to the subject matter. I was not sharing my own personal opinions; one does not have to ascribe morality to a function in order to see merit in its execution towards an objective.

> You think a public psychological label is a life-and-death matter

Not entirely, no. But is this a minority opinion? Why would they blackmail the patients if they didn't believe that some would be willing to pay? I have recently lost someone precious to me as a result of similar circumstances and my mishandling of the situation by encouraging therapy and medication played a key role in her suicide. I apologize if my original comment appeared unnecessarily reflexive -- I'm still reeling from the guilt and I could be projecting some of that bias in my response to these types of things.

I think if something necessitates intervention then by all means seek professional care. But if you're unsure and living a decent life make sure you exhaust all other options before considering yourself diagnosed with whatever label is put in vogue by pseudo-scientists. If you think some secrets are uninteresting consider if they'll remain that way when the culture inevitably shifts and society decides to reject certain categories of people. The normal of yesterday too often becomes the enemy of a better tomorrow.
Similar thing happened to me in San Jose. They acted annoyed that I was even wasting their time by filling out a report so I could make an insurance claim.

Why is it hard for you to believe something isn't working as expected?
I think you mean he shouldn’t be considered a reporter, which is the term for a journalist who reports the news with minimal interpretation. There are very few reporters left.
It's a stereotype, and like a lot of stereotypes, it has a little bit of statistical truth, but I don't think it does justice for the excellent front-end engineers that do exist and whom I've worked with personally.

That said, there is some truth in it. The thing about the back end is that there's no satisfaction in it other than the satisfaction of doing it well and earning the esteem of peers, so most back end developers are paying attention to the quality of the code they write. The front end has other attractions as well, and many front-end developers start out focused on those attractions, and learn by experience (if they learn at all) that writing high quality code is related to the cool stuff that got them into programming in the first place.

I’m not sure what you mean.

GitHub has gotten a ton of (justified!) criticism because the issues/PRs are not stored in git (either in the main repo, like gh-pages branches, or in an associated repo, like GitHub repo wikis).

The “changes” they’d need to make beyond their current DMCA implementation would be to restrict the “Code” tab, the Readme preview, and the git/ssh endpoint for that repo. Which would likely be a new feature, but given they already have the ability for a repo’s owner to totally disable PRs or issues, certainly wouldn’t be the kind of groundbreaking change you’re pitching it as.
I'd say it's the most difficult issue in driving, whether AI or human.
Here in Australia sign upgrades or road modifications or both tend to occur either pre-emptively for no apparent reason in an effort to make traffic flow worse, or only after multiple people have died and the local community has been complaining for a decade.

Same goes for using the /zoom in slack - if a back & forth is ensuing it may require a faster latency than slack can provide so a call which can upgrade to video/screenshare is nice.

It is the responsibility of the driver to not hit cars in front of them. Doesn't matter if it's a normal stop light, or a deer crosses the road, or the car decided to break randomly just for fun. In every case, aside from cutting someone off, the driver should maintain the proper distance and speed to prevent a rear end collision.

I recently moved from 1080p 16:9 at 60Hz to 1440p 21:9 at 160Hz. 6 times the amount of pixel/frames. One of the reasons why performance isn't stellar even though I bought 3080 at the same time. Most games can't run anywhere near 160 fps.
Even if that was what the name was intended to be, the vast majority of people pronounce it as SQL - lite. (In fact, this is the first I've heard of someone pronouncing it that way).

The documentation seems to suggest that it is in fact pronounced "SQL-lite": https://www.sqlite.org/fullsql.html

XPath 3 was conceived with support for XSLT and XQuery in mind - where reading environment variables and text files are most definitely very useful features. This is indeed not something you want in a browser, but that ship had already sailed by then.
> but I'm beginning to think you have anthropomorphic dog in this fight, so to speak.

How do you characterize this?

Besides the obviously high-quality pun, that is ;)
100% agreed. If they dont mind publicly making an issue with a persons name, they should have to expose their own.
> Is it just this simple? You sum their score, then instant runoff the top 2?

Yes. First round counts stars, second round just counts preference.

If I remember correctly, the main purpose of the second round is to discourage strategic voting -- if you give all other candidates the minimum score, to give your favorite the best chance, then you don't get to express a preference in the runoff, in the event that your favorite is not top 2. So it's only worth doing this if you really like your favorite so much that everyone else is the same to you.

> It still definitely doesn't elect the condorcet winner... which you can see from 3 voters and 12 candidates

My understanding (from Wikipedia) is that the condorcet winner is "one candidate who beats every other candidate pairwise". Since often no candidate fulfills this criteria, all condorcet systems that expect to survive contact with the real world need to specify a fallback way to choose a winner. I don't know much about the different strategies they use to do this.

If my understanding is correct, then it seems like there is no condorcet winner in this scenario (rather, a 3-way tie). So I'm not sure how you expect a condorcet system to handle it.
I disagree. But I only send no-context zoom invites after the context has been discussed directly on slack or a previous meeting anyway so...

CoCs didn't jump out of the void for no reason. They are a response to years of harassment and unprofessional behavior at conferences. Conferences have always had a list of rules to follow and breaking the rules could get you ejected from the conference. In theory all a CoC should do is codify some bad behaviors that people believe to be acceptable but are actually not, so in that regard they shouldn't be controversial.

You hit the nail on the head though: if the people enforcing the conference rules don't act in good faith or don't follow the rules then the rules don't matter.

In theory a conference could just have a rule that says "act professionally" and if properly enforced that would be sufficient. On the flip side such a conference could have a petty tyrant rules lawyer for an enforcer and decide anyone they don't like was not acting "professionally".

There is no outside body that could (or should) be adjudicators. Conferences live and die by their reputation. All we can do is judge them by their actions.
As a tangent: when did FAANG become FANG? I feel like I missed something.
Here in Australia, last time I checked, no one is considered to have right of way.

I'm having trouble figuring out how you're disagreeing with me, it sounds like you agree with me, that 0 to 1 is the hardest part.
> (the argument is that they earn far less than equivalently trained professions which is objectively true no matter how you dice it)

I've never seen this argument, and frankly, I don't really understand it -- what are "equivalently trained professions", and why all "equivalently trained professions" should be paid the same?

> and, second, teachers really are paid less on a per hour basis than the OECD average which makes your statistic super misleading.

That's interesting, can you show me some data behind it? I haven't heard this one either.
Yes accuse Biden of corruption so Trump's corruption just doesn't bite as hard, and be maybe sneaks a few more votes.

This is a cynical game and I'm sick of so many people playing it willingly.
Roundabouts seem great and consistent in Europe but in the US their rules differ from state to state.

For example, in California, people in the roundabout have right of way. But sometimes there are confusing traffic lights in the roundabout:

https://www.google.com/maps/@37.3911304,-122.0805522,3a,75y,...

In New Jersey, on the other hand, sometimes, the subjectively most "major" road has the right of way both going in and out of the roundabout. People already in the roundabout have to actually stop for the major road people to enter the roundabout. If you're on the major road you can theoretically pass through the roundabout and not worry about the fact that it's a roundabout. A couple examples of this is seen here, where you're IN the circle but have to yield to incoming traffic:

https://www.google.com/maps/@40.5027947,-74.8525293,3a,75y,2...

When will the general public learn that adding more rules and education simply gives ill-intentioned people more complicated ways to screw others over.
Zoom can show face video if you don't maximize the screen - the participants show up on top. Or use a 2nd monitor. Zoom was the first one to capitalize on 3 monitors - I've used a bidirectional share + participants on the 3rd screen.
Kind of crazy to think in the thousands of man hours involved in old software products. These products generated millions (billions?) of dollars and impacted the life of so many people, only to be available for free now, only just a few decades ... isn't this kind of thing unique of the software craft?
> In the coordinate system of an observer at a constant distance from the horizon, the path of a free-falling object takes an infinite amount of coordinate time

No: the path of the free-falling observer at and beneath the horizon is not covered at all by the coordinate system of the external observer. That coordinate system simply becomes mathematically undefined, which means you can't use it to make any claims about what happens.

> In this coordinate system, the time coordinate becomes space-like passed the event horizon and the radial coordinate becomes timelike.

No: there is a separate coordinate patch that covers the region inside the horizon (but not the horizon itself--the horizon is not covered by either patch), in which the "areal radius" coordinate is timelike, and in which the coordinate corresponding to the extra Killing vector field is spacelike. Calling the former coordinate "radial" is at least justifiable, since it still is the "areal radius" coordinate even though it's timelike. But calling the latter coordinate "the time coordinate" is simply wrong; the fact that the letter t is commonly used for it does not mean it's a "time" coordinate in any meaningful sense.

> There is a coordinate singularity around this switch

Yes.

> which is where the infinite coordinate time comes from.

No, which is what makes statements like "infinite coordinate time" incorrect; the correct statement is that neither coordinate patch covers the horizon at all.

> An observer fammiliar with relativity could compute the proper time of a path traversing the event horizon

Yes. The easiest way to do that is to switch to some other coordinate chart which covers the entire path, above, at, and below the horizon. In such a coordinate chart, the "areal radius" coordinate will not be timelike below the horizon. (In at least one chart commonly used for this, Painleve coordinates, all four coordinates are spacelike below the horizon.)
Locast limits access to users within the geographic broadcast range of the relevant TV stations. Apparently that falls within the same legal framework that allows cable TV operators to rebroadcast TV signals over their cable networks, which are similarly geographically limited.
Use high quality relays purchased from Digikey or another distributor (should be $10-30 in single quantities for AC mains) and put thermal fuses on the mains side of the relay (I generally put several, each going to different parts that are at risk of shorting). Slather everything but the heatsinks (add some if necessary) with fire retardant epoxy, carefully pushing the thermal fuse into the epoxy until it makes contact and pushes out most of the epoxy under the fuse.

It's not a zero sum game, however, as players typically buy from a variety of genres (sometimes in the same purchase) and play a large variety of genres over their lives.

It's a bit like saying that Hollywood should never make another romcom because all the blockbusters are superhero movies. While there are some crazy enough in Hollywood to suggest exactly that sort of thing, romcoms aren't generally directly competing for superhero dollars (usually; there are some films that some suggest are superhero romcoms), and exist just fine alongside them. It's not likely for a romcom currently to be considered a blockbuster or to be budgeted or pitched as such, but it's also not impossible, and it certainly doesn't mean that the romcom as a genre is dead because it generally won't be a "summer tentpole blockbuster" any time soon (no matter how much clickbait editorials want to disagree on that).

It's probably unlikely for an adventure game to again be that "summer tentpole blockbuster", and I'm of the opinion that they were only "summer tentpole blockbusters" very briefly under the reign of Sierra in part because of the Williams' and Sierra's reign, because they managed to make it so, in budget and in attitude. Now that the blockbusters are FPSes and such, people are still disappointed and generate so much vocal controversy when kickstarters are merely aiming to build "romcoms on a romcom budget" adventure games and can't afford the summer blockbuster spectacle that Sierra did at its peak. That's what I think "killed" the genre and keeps it "dead", far more than the competition with other genres or some "shift in gaming culture".

(And yeah, I've seen and reject the arguments that gaming culture as it grew mainstream grew a lot less "intellectual" as the computer and consoles went from being niche things only owned by "smart" people to everyone could own one to everyone did own at least one. First of all, that's just terribly reductive and generally far too dismissive of the average game player. Second of all, there's plenty of evidence the other direction: Ask a hardcore "twitch" gamer some day about minutia in Destiny 2 or Dark Souls or WoW and be prepared for flow charts and long detailed narrative digressions and spreadsheets full of math and raid puzzle solving. Talk to the gamers still pouring hundreds of hours in lovingly complicated simulations like Civilization 6. The "intellectual pursuits" in games never went away; some of it dispersed and migrated and changed shape, a lot of it is still around almost unchanged in some genres like simulation that managed to successfully curb expectations and resize budgets as fashions shifted.)
The point is, mainstream media (also known as fake news) spent the last 4 years baselessly "crying wolf" on a daily basis, completely discrediting itself in the process.
I think they're solving a different problem now.

Zip was an ahead-of-time compression algorithm until HTTP 1.1, and so the draw was storage and transmission bandwidth, but the deciding factor was decompression time and space complexity.

Now we've been using it for online compression so long, and bandwidth is a secondary concern. Eventually someone had to take the other constraints seriously. We made LZO and friends but the results weren't that exciting, and I think a lot of people wandered off for another 10 years to work on other things, until bandwidth became a bigger concern for producers than consumers.

For containers, I'd love to talk to some mainframe OS designers about how much of containers and The Cloud are merely democratizing techniques that were proven out on big iron 30 years ago. I suspect the answer is "a lot".
I meant what I said lol
> Most of that consists of MySQL being extremely permissive with what it allows you to do in your SQL. Many of those things are non-standard, and some are quite unsafe. Postgres not only prioritizes safety, it keeps the application developer honest.

This is incredibly important: if you use MySQL, unless you are extremely pedantic about using safe defaults and a safe-by-default ORM you will almost certainly end up in the position where migrating will be hard because you are going to need to rigorously test & remediate all of the areas where your code was relying on MySQL allowing erroneous code to run without errors and nobody ever looked at the warnings.

I've even seen a few cases where people had data loss which had either gone unnoticed or been sporadic enough that they assumed it was user error or random corruption.
Aren't they all essentially the same thing, UI-wise?

I always compare talking to a Trump supporter about his crimes to talking to a Pats fan about Bill Belichick or Brady getting caught cheating red-handed. Not only do they not care, they are confused as to why they should care. It's their team, nothing would convince a Pats fans to start rooting for the Giants.

Sure.

“Motte”: unobjectionable position no one would disagree with.

“Bailey”: more extreme position; the one you actually believe and that people take issue with. Must not directly logically follow from the motte per se.

Motte & Bailey (informal) fallacy: Jumping between the motte and the bailey for rhetorical effect, as convenient.

In this case, the motte is “codes of conduct are just like the HN guidelines, they’re everywhere and no one objects”. The bailey is the actual CoCs in question, and the culture of pushing projects, conferences, etc. to adopt them, which tends to be rooted in “liberal identity politics” or whatever you want to call it.

When people criticize the latter (the bailey), advocates retreat to the former (the motte) - they’re just normal guidelines like “be nice”, basic manners, who would object to that? - and then when the argument is over continue pushing for the latter.
