Platforms like YouTube, Facebook,tumblr, medium and others have flattened, homogenized, or outright censored the fun and diverse content that used to be there.

I wonder if we will see a rebirth of self-platforming and curation through bootstrapped means.

That is one area I am looking at seriously these days.
8GB ram is just soul crushing - even for basic office workloads. I need 16GB minimum.

Following that reason, the easiest way to keep the documentation up to date is to not have documentation.
That’s also possible. But at that point I won’t define the new chip as successful.
The earth being round is not universally held, either, but it is true. The military is patriotic, yes, as are its members (it is difficult to imagine how they could be effective were they not), but the military tries very, very hard to be apolitical. Yes, individuals in the military have strong political opinions, just like many other individual Americans.

It seems to me that any country at a point where the combination of its flag together with an oath of office, oath of enlistment or commissioning oath is seen as political rather than patriotic cannot be in a good place. It is not too far from that to one where calling for fair and unbiased administration of elections is considered political rather than patriotic.

Thank you for assisting in the election, and thank you for your excellent software projects, but in this case I think that you were incorrect.
I can totally relate. The first thing I do when I enter into a new technical or mathy topic is to build the intuition for those concepts, which simply means finding a way to visualize them without words. Then it's much easier to think about them.
InfluxDB 1.x user can upgrade to InfluxDB 2.0 pretty easily, there is an `upgrade` command that will convert your metadata from 1.x to 2.0.

Your time series data doesn't even need to be touched, it'll "just work" after the upgrade.
It's funny how blindingly obvious these things sound, until you drop into an actual company and find entire teams and departments who are so far off in the weeds that everyone has forgotten why or how their work is important for the company's success.

It's a particularly difficult growing pain for leaders who go too deep into delegating everything. Delegation is important for scaling, but delegating something doesn't mean it's completely hands-off. Leaders still need to deep dive into teams every once in a while and make sure everyone understands what the goals are and what's being done to reach those goals.
It feels like complete mismanagement to me that Godot focuses on work like this instead of things that directly impact gameplay. You can see it in other places like them creating their own programming language.

Why can't I do multiplayer out-of-the-box? Why do I have to roll that myself? Why can't I start up a project and immediately work with gamerules/gamemode callbacks?

I can checkout Grid[1] and immediately do those things, and it has two orders of magnitude less followers. Why do "game engine" developers insist on doing essentially just rendering with some bindings to things like Box2D and OpenAL?

Buy a pair of Vibrams. Walking in toe shoes that have little to no heel support will naturally change over your gait in a week or two. I used to run 3-5 miles most days on concrete in running shoes and had knee and hip pain afterwards each day. Switching to toe shoes and by extension forefoot running eliminated the pain completely.

The impact of walking and running is dissipated into your calves instead of your joints, and the nice thing about muscle is that it grows back. Take it slow as you ramp up, I promise your calves aren't ready for it yet.
Presumably if you're not using the laptops screen it can drive two.
And now there is plastic in our oceans and deep underground. Strange how that happened really.
You think that lawyer who billed you 8 hours actually sat at his desk for 8 hours?

You might not be billing the time you went to the loo, or made yourself a coffee.

Every other professional in the world is.

Are you seriously only billing 4 hours for a full day's work?

Think of it the opposite way round, of when you're in the shower and have the 'ah-ha' moment of how to structure the code. Or the evening stroll after dinner when you suddenly find that nice elegant solution to the gnarly code. Do you run home and put those 5 minutes in toggl? Because it took your brain far more than those 5 minutes to get there.

We have an intellectual job, the down-time is as necessary and critical to the solutions as the time tapping keys. My brain is churning away in the background, laying things out, figuring out solutions. And that's all extremely valuable subconscious processing time that's not going on my own or other client's projects.
Got Covid 4 weeks ago, got better two weeks later. This weekend I went out for my first walk, about an hour. Although I didn't have any lung issues during the really-ill period, I definitly can't walk as fast or long as I used to, one hour felt more like two or three. I really had to pace myself. I broke out into heavy sweating going up a small hill. When I got home, I laid down in bed and dozed the rest of the day. Pure exhaustion.

After I got 'better' I thought it was comparable in severity to a bad flu. It's becoming rapidly apparent that the real impact shows itself after sickbed. I'm 33. I feel like I've aged a few decades in the past month. I really hope this will pass.
I feel their mistake was not allowing apps to call a specific version if needbe, not with the general decision to include it in Windows.

While .NET Framework updates annoyingly force every app to use it, I expect .NET Core to make it super difficult to secure apps that decided to hardcode some specific ancient release of it and allow no way to override it.
Avoid social media and treat the internet like a library rather than a playground - the ability to get up the curve on real world hobbies and interests is beyond my wildest dreams as a boy in the 70s.

It's a means to an end, not the end in itself.
Handwaving again. The US is clearly part of the alliance, and with it NATO. You can't just remove them from the story because it suits your POV.

Your second point doesn't make sense. If India would just ratify what China wanted there would be no conflict. India is not doing that because they don't agree. India would take advantage of allying with NATO, SCS bloc, so that they can force China to agree with their definition, not China's.
Agreed.

I would also suspect that there are some other factors:

- people hoping for change are more willing to answer polls

- people who are ashamed of their opinions are more unwilling to answer polls

The second one, perhaps, gives too much credit for self-awareness, though.
If you get a call from an unknown caller asking "hey who're you voting for", how do you know if it's a proper scientific pollster or your employer's brother-in-law?
The current arrangement is high and low vs the middle, or HLvM for short.

The left is composed of two factions, not one. The left is the high within society aligned with the low in society to destroy the middle in society. [1]

When the power of the upper class is not secure, or somehow threatened by a middle class, the upper class forms an alliance with the lower classes. Today, you see the highly capitalized media powers (like Big Tech and primary media corporations) and other "woke" corporations forming an "alliance of the fringes" with historically marginalized groups, against the more traditionalist middle class. In the past, Kings would form an alliance with peasants to fend off nobles.

Bertrand de Jouvenel described this dynamic early in the 20th century, but it's a common refrain throughout history.

Neoabsolutism is a modern framework for understanding this dynamic.

I am sure there will be consumer (crap) computers like HP pavilion, Dell inspiron etc where one can get 1000+ computer with 16GB or so RAM.

My experience with F# over 7 years of production coding is for most needs there is already an F# .NET library or wrapper over an OO library. It's mostly only very specialized needs that drive me to an OO .NET library.

That's tautological. If one of the candidates backed it, there would be more political support for holding the NSA accountable.

Democracy is a closed feedback loop, and thus causality works in both directions. Given the very few bits of input a person has into decisions, it's likely that most influence flows the opposite direction.
The real question is, what department allows their on-duty officers to wear non-uniform clothing articles for routine public assignments?
In general. In general what?

You can't take an advantage of having an abundant amount of data about data sources, schema and query you're about to execute (in general)? The original example simply illustrates that if you have the right problem and understand it well, you can work on it a bit and make it look like magic. It says "G has some property, that lets us do X to solve problem Y", to what the other guys says "No, G doesn't have these properties, because you can't apply X to solve Z. And W." How dumb is that?

It's not an alternative to SQL in general and it's not a drop-in replacement for backend. Do you realise, that I can run graphql entirely in browser and make resolvers call the same rest api? That'll work pretty well. Or that also looks too problematic?

> we are mostly concerned with how it applies to the vast majority of people and applications

Applications – yes, people – no. In last couple of years I saw a few dozens implementations of graphql on a backend and I think only 2-3 were really good. The rest is usually a complete clusterfuck and I wish they didn't use it and never touched it. But that's also true for too many other things. So maybe you're right. Maybe if somebody realises that his competence isn't enough, it's better to stay away.

This doesn't provide any more evidence for AOC having called for punishing opposition supporters, does it?

Tapper doesn't appear to be directing employers to do anything here: he's stating how employers judge candidates, and noting how considering one's actions in that frame might cause one to act differently. There's not a threat here, it's an acknowledgement of how society works.

My point is that these aren't reasonable interpretations of what these figures have said. Like I said, it's certainly possible to read into their words as much as you want, but it requires far fewer assumptions about the unknowable mental states of others to simply take their words at face value. Divorced of the spin placed onto what's been said by the press, these statements are entirely innocuous.

It's not a SF Bay Area centric forum - I can't find the stats now, but if I recall correctly, a bit more than half of HN commenters are outside of USA and just 10% or less are from Bay Area. So while the topic of the discussion often is about SF companies (but more often than not it's about generic tech issues that are interesting everywhere), this is a quite global forum and the discussion here quite clearly is not properly understood through a lens focused solely on Bay Area, as 90% of people in that discussion are from elsewhere.
You're talking to Apple customers. Being gouged is a way of life for them.
That is fascinating. How does the time limit part actually work?
> I think that's actually the rub. Blacks and Hispanics are voting less and less for Democrats, and that is true more for this last election than 2016

Clinton won greater than 90% of the black vote in 2016, as did House Democrats in 2018; there's indications that Biden did a little worse this year. specifically among black men.

> the Dems are becoming the party of rich white people.

Good verified voter data for 2020 will take a while, but in 2016 Trump won 55-39 among whites with over $150K income; the Republicans (while they have support elsewhere, as well) are very much the party of rich white people. Meanwhile, even if they've lost some ground with some of these groups compared to some point in the past, Democrats remain heavily favored, nationally, by blacks, asians, and hispanics.
That will be a stretch, since they require different compilers. C# and F# projects in the same solution not good enough?

Came in here for this comment.

As an European the United States needs proper reform of its judicial/law system, or whatever you call the dreadful thing where you can imprison a person for 10 years because of non-violent property crime. Unfortunately I've read that the new VP had built her career partially on being tough on crime, hope that those people were wrong/lying or (if they were correct) that she'd be able to see that that's not the best road going forward.
This is different than the previous `influxd migrate` command that never seemed to work, right?
We didn't port our game Void Bastards to Linux because the sales are _so_ low we won't see a return on investment. Yes its easy these days, but there is still a few days messing around with builds and a few days testing. There is a good chance we won't see a week of salary as a return.
VSC is the real workhorse here. It’s way beyond something like an SSHFS mount. The server actually runs an instance of VSC. It’s really quite good and I don’t even notice I’m editing on another machine. Would recommend trying it.
You might want to look at the historical status quo before prison - I highly doubt you would approve of public floggings, mutilations, and quickly carried out (from trial at least) executions. Prison requires cheap enough food or a high ransom to be viable as an institution to allow keeping them working and some means of ensuring they cannot escape or fight successfully - potentially guards as well.

It can be a historical running dark joke - "Sadly <x> still qualified as an improvement." such as slavery technically being a bit better than early human warfare ending in genocide either directly or indirectly (forced out of all territory capable of sustaining themselves).

That doesn't mean we shouldn't try to do better (ones with far better recidivism rates should be a model for one) but given the history it isn't a failing in itself - that would suggest a shift away from widespread killing and mutilating people was a mistake.
The problem with rebase is that you must resolve conflicts for every commit. This can take a lot of effort versus a single merge at the end.

You end up doing a lot of conflict resolution when rebasing, increasing the chances that you make an error.

And if you do make an error during conflict resolution, there will be no record of it because you've rewritten history.

We stopped most rebases for this reason, and just do normal merges. Conflict resolution is easier, and if we do make a mistake, it's at least documented in the history, and it's easier to fix.

> I'm guessing you don't actually run a Linux Desktop.

Wrong. Until about 6 months ago the majority of PCs I owned ran Linux Desktop. Eventually I just got sick of dealing with its nightmarish tangle of half-thought-out systems and currently it only runs on one.

KDE is very configurable, but that's only one component of the entire system (and it still has some odd limitations in my opinon).

I've been running Linux Desktop (and Linux as a server for that matter) to varying degrees for 20 years now, have contributed to open source projects, and was once president of a LUG. I still think Linux Desktop has a ton of problems and would rather use Windows. I don't know if you're able to square that with your worldview or not, but that isn't my problem.
> you probably also have a CI/CD system

Or more realistically, dozens of CI/CD systems, covering less than a third of the applications.
Ask HN: Could I get a resume review? Manager level
Hey all, I've been with this company for quite awhile and it's time to move on, but I'm having a hard time getting traction in my job search. I'm aiming for software engineering manager positions and it feels like my resume could use improvement.

I started at an insurance startup and eventually built a software engineering team from the ground up. After we got acquired, I moved to a data team to acquire a larger breadth of experience. I've gotten good feedback regarding my technical and people skills, but I'm not sure if my resume reflects that.

Any advice or criticism is welcome.

I don't understand what you would gain by replacing Twitter and Facebook. The incentives and structures that created them are here to stay. Anyone who thinks their open source pet projects wouldn't face the same problems Twitter has at the scale 300M active users is just being woefully ignorant of politics at play here and still thinks Twitter can be built in a weekend.

In 2016, you had a guy jokingly claim that he was ripping republican ballots in Ohio. This tweet spread like wildfire, and caused an unimaginable headache for the secretary of state as the right-wing media went wild on the story. I'm not surprised Twitter is taking such heavy handed action given that they will be directly in the cross hairs if a story like that ever happens again. No "replacement" would be immune from this issue.
I suspect in most cases you would have quickly hit a growth ceiling with that larger team. Fantastically fast growing companies have generally growth pulled out of them by the market. Yes, there are things you could probably do to grow faster, but those things are the spontaneous insights that occur in the shower.
