> I don't get the point here. Whether it was named Palestinian or not, it doesn't change the fact that Israel occupied those territories! We are talking about land, not names.

The point is that kind of like in Pakistan/India UN decided to split the area in two ethnic areas.

In the middle east 70% was given to the Arabs and 30% to the Jews.

(Well kept secret: While the international community keep asking for a state for the Palestinian people it has existed since the start. It is called Jordan and was created on 70% of the land that was considered for the Jewish national home.)

Again: I'm not here to defend UNs actions, only (parts of) what Israel has done afterwards.

> Would you say they are terrorists but Israeli government is not?

That is absolutely my opinion yes.

The Israeli government is a democratic government. Hezbollah was a terrorist organization last I heard.

(Actually I looked it up right now. Here is what Wikimedia says:

> Either the entire organization or just its military wing has been designated a terrorist organization by at least 21 countries, by the European Union and since 2017 by most member states of the Arab League, with the exception of Iraq and Lebanon, where Hezbollah is the most powerful political party.)
Technical vision for Qt 6 – The next big release
That seems like a weird list. Python? Micro services? Docker?

I have only passing familiarity with Python and as for the two others, I just know what the tools are for, but have never touched either, and I am certainly a proficient developer. My workplace just happens to use other tools.

I am very proficient with the unix shell myself, but there are certainly competent developers where I work that are not.
For what it's worth, the Taiwanese company Gogoro already has an e-bike on the market that ships to the USA (the Eeyo 1s) that has the same weight, same range, and same motor wattage at the same price point. The design is a little more stylish too in my opinion, although it lacks fenders (which the Prolog has). [1] [2]

Personally, I've looked at the Eeyo bike but can't really justify the price, given that you can buy a very nice full carbon non-electric bike from Bikes Direct for less than half the price. Even Gogoro's core product, an electric scooter, which is much faster, powerful, and more versatile, retails for less.

LOC is a useless metric.

Just before I left my last job a month or so ago, I checked my Github stats. Over the course of 8 years I added 124,000 LOC and removed 466,000 LOC. I can also assure you that my employer was sad to see me go.
> It's difficult to justify a bike that's thousands when an annual bus pass might be a few hundred.

- A bike is not annually thousands. A good quality bike will last you a decade or more. Not with $0 maintenance, but not hundreds per year.

- Commute times on a bike are shorter than the bus. I'm not even talking e-bike now. Due to traffic congestion effects (that hardly affect bicycles at all), you can beat even automobile commuting on a plain human-powered bike. With the e-bike in the equation, it can be no contest. You can go 40-50 km/h for most of the commute, and zip around bumper-to-bumper traffic like it's not there.

- Convenience: hop on it and go anywhere you want, at any time. No waiting. E.g. go out for lunch in the middle of the workday.

- Transit is a good place to catch viruses from people. Complete non-starter in this pandemic.

- Transit is a good place to be assaulted, robbed and exposed to cigarette smoke.

- The bike offers freedom from irritating and depressing exposure to people from socially incompatible classes. (Well almost; there are some drivers out there: but you're not sitting next to them for 30 minutes.)

Can you expand on what you mean by "far left politics"? Reminder, this happened in late 2018 and early 2019. It was before this year's round of Black Lives Matter protests. It was also before Coinbase issued its no politics edict. I am really struggling to think of what "far left politics" you are referring to here that would be important enough to the Black employees of Coinbase that it results in 75% of them leaving.

It will happen, just will take us a while. (one of the problems that we have before starting to work on this is for example that I won't get my machine yet for 2 more weeks or so, Apple can't quite satisfy the demand...)
"Callous" would mean it's about you, but think about it from the viewpoint of the company. If the aggrieved employee leaves, the problem is solved.
I’m curious how much Microsoft’s x86 compatibility layer is able to take advantage of the M1's unique (for an ARM chip) ability to do x86-style total store ordering (https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/i0mido/apple_sili...), or if it’s something that Microsoft or virtualization vendors could optimize for.
Well, another implicit barrier is human lifetime. Though I suppose if we don't mind massive time dilation, we might not mind thousands of generations passing by during transit.
I usually draw the line for local vs. remote if I'm spinning up multiple services. In particular, if I'm using something like minikube to do end to end testing (I develop tooling on top of Kubernetes), remote development is far superior because I can offload a bunch of the heavy lifting away from my development machine. It's pretty easy to peg one's CPUs using Docker & K8, resulting in CPU throttling and just a slower experience locally.

If I were in IT, I'd not be buying M1 laptops right now for the company. However, for a personal development workhorse, I'd jump on it. I wouldn't miss local docker.
Fire hydrants is the first thing I've remembered too. This is very much US thing, don't remember ever seeing it in other countries (maybe they exist, but not where I lived) - at least not in the form Google wants them.
Your ad hominem is irrelevant. The evidence of Iran’s nuclear weapons research is incontrovertible, and the point is that Israel believes it to be an existential threat if Iran obtains nukes.

They believe that because Iran’s leaders specifically call for the destruction of Israel, just taking Iran at its word.
A lot of people traffic in blatant stereotypes in the guise of some kind of positive statement, which makes reprimands less likely. I once had a speaker tell us - in a diversity seminar! - about specific racial groups he thinks are too timid to speak up for themselves.
You have to ask for a NAFTA officer. You should do your research where the NAFTA officers are and cross at those border entries at the times they are present.
While I may not necessarily be as harsh as the commenter you are responding do, I will say that I am starting to feel a certain way about pg, and it's much less positive than it was 5-10 years ago.

I feel like a common thread in his most recent essays has been separating people into, for lack of a better term, "desirables" vs. "undesirables". True, he doesn't use those terms, and he often couches the language he uses about the undesirables in sort of a "they can't really help it, they're just born that way" phrasing, but the distain is barely hidden.

And I find all of this somewhat ironic, given that as high as pg values curiosity, I don't really see a lot of self-introspection (at least as communicated in his essays) about why he seems to be much more interested in recent years in writing about how one group of people is intrinsically special and the other basically just exists to be led.

I will specifically contrast this with Sam Harris. While they talk about different subjects, I find Sam Harris to be much more interested in thinking about "why do I think the way I do." More importantly, after listening to a Harris podcast I often find myself thinking about things in a very different way, where lately with pg's essays I find myself thinking "not this shit again."
If you live somewhere that needs steps to get to definitely an issue. Bikes with throttles can be used to assist in moving, some have a "walk mode" where you hit a button and its like a 5 mph throttle, mine has both, you could use up steps if it made sense.

I just have it in a garage and take off and ride whenever no steps, so day to day it's effortless. If I want to take it long distance I put it on my bike rack which is a real pain due to having to lift up on, looking at tray racks with ramps going forward.

How do you know people believe him?

I can tell you why I love his essays: because of the way he argues. It is very transparent. I seldomly agree with his conclusion(s), but since he is so honest (he is not trying to deceive) in listing his arguments it is just a matter for me to find where he is wrong... or where I am wrong. I find this style so uncommon and stimulating that I hardly can stand the regular "opinion" held by most people. At least it is hard to be intrigued by arguments that doesn't even try to be precise.

When PG writes something I pay attention to the words, because I know they were chosen with some care. If I can force open a crack in his arguments I get wiser, and if I don't... the same thing happens.

I wish more people wrote like him, but preferably less about startups. They don't interest me as much as attempts at honest discourse.
I was on an F1 OPT. My employer applied for a H1B/E3/TN adjustment of status so that I could continue working after the OPT expiration. Unfortunately the I797 came in after the OPT expiration date. Not only that, the approval notice came in after the 60 day post OPT grace period (and I didn't leave the US). So, I overstayed on my OPT visa, but I am currently in the US on a valid visa. Should I expect problems in the future? Am I still accruing unlawful presence due to overstaying the OPT? Or does the clock stop once I receive the I797.
>Now, if only AMD could bring back that ARM Zen design that they cancelled

Oh yes that would rock and open up a whole new level of fault tolerance as could run real-time upon two different CPU cores in parallel, which for some workloads would add value.

Certainly adding an ARM chiplet would be cool and technically doable, though so would a RISC V core and if Nvidia buy ARM then that choice may become political.
It's only incongruous if you evaluate it in the context of people who expect to be treated fairly when they report mistreatment.

There is a pattern of behavior minimizing the scope and impact of abusive or discriminatory actions across the tech industry, and it is very prevalent on this site as well.

The simple reality is that unless an employee is able to obtain clear, slam-dunk evidence of directly legally actionable abuse or misconduct, then it is a huge personal risk to come forward. Most businesses that are large enough to have systemic problems have enormous resources to litigate against those claims.

In contrast, for employees to collect and use evidence, it is required that they:
a) experience the abuse or discrimination, repeatedly
b) collect evidence and documentation of that behaviour
c) exfiltrate that evidence in contravention of legal contracts that can include NDAs, binding arbitration clauses, morality/non desparagement clauses, etc
d) be in a strong enough financial position to defend against litigation
e) be confident enough in their own skills, reputation, and network to be able to give up future career prospects based on A-D.

And this is just from the 5 minutes it took me to compose this message.

I get that HN is a bastion of support for meritocracy, and that founder worship is a strong bias for many on this forum, but as a community, and as an industry we have got to stop undermining and destroying the folks trying to hold people and firms accountable for bad behavior.
> For those railing against this essay, who feel that PG is fluffing himself up and patting himself on the back like a nerdy middleschooler -- you've missed the big point, badly. PG writes unapologetically, directly, and simply, and this may pattern match to a naive middleschooler, but you are letting your base instincts cover up the fact that PG is wise, has earned his stripes, and is sharing his wisdom, unapologetically, directly, and simply

Being unapologetic, direct and simple doesn't make someone wise. Being wise makes someone wise.

PG's essays read more and more like cut-rate Plato. Somehow, no matter where things begin, the topic eventually turns to "only I and my buddies should run Athens".
> As for Israel, I fail to see how that's anything but whataboutism.

Has it ever occurred to you the Iranians might be interested in such a weapon because Israel already has one?

This is not without precedent. We know for example that Pakistan developed its nukes to deter India when they demonstrated they have nuclear weapons.
Perhaps you should look up what factory farming looks like. Merciful is not part of that dictionary.
Yeah, remember when the PC world adopted the Intel chips after Apple gave them social proof? Or journaling file systems, or preemptive multitasking, or protected memory, or true multi user support. Apple always leads the way, right?
This is a really good question. Frankly, generally I fail to work through large ideas except through occasional discussion with drunk people. Normally I write the notes I can when I am motivated, then leave them, publish them, and mention them to people who I think may be interested.

After years and years, when I am still referencing and thinking about them, I know I was on to something and fully intend to go back to them and execute: just as soon as the current large idea has come to fruition...

In terms of a strategy for immediate and motivated analysis, if you have the motivation to focus, I like to see ideas as an apple and different perceptions as perspectives thereof. To pick the apple up in your hand and to turn it in your mind is to consider it as a life form, as an asserting potential life form (seed bank), as a series of competing life forms (seeds), as a subject of aesthetics, as a food source, as a mood, as a colour, or as a home to insects is to conceive of it in a different way.

Also, to smash it to pieces - perhaps as performance art - and to just walk away...
I am surprised nobody has mentioned Datasette+Dogsheep by Simon Willison. From his excellent talk on "Personal Data Warehouses: Reclaiming Your Data" [1], "Dogsheep is a collection of tools for personal analytics using SQLite and Datasette". Simon's intended use of Dogsheep is to query/see what big tech knows about us. A more compelling use case for me is being able to full-text query my pocket, twitter and gmail. Add slack and text messages and I am happy to pay ~$100-200/year for this privilege.

Certs exist because companies realized they could make further fortunes by acting as the gatekeepers of their consulting ecosystems (and by up-selling enterprise deals with mass certification of the purchasing company). They lock otherwise talented and competent people out of jobs until they pay to take an "exam" for the $CORP approved check mark which gets their resume passed the round of filtering. Sometimes you even have to re-pay for the exam every few years to certify you're "up to date" with the software.

I'm less cynical about certs offered by neutral third parties, or if they are offered free of charge. (If quality versions of those exist?)

All that means is that social pressures (in this case) weren’t exerted using the lever of religion or political affiliation.

That doesn’t at all mean that other levers don’t exist or weren’t leveraged. Such as the common, ‘uncle tom’ or ‘not black enough’ social pressure commonly applied in the black community.
Yeah I get it now. Thanks.

I don’t think any answer to this question will be satisfactory, as it’s just too easy to say “yeah but what if THAT TOO falls apart?” You just have to figure out how to deaden that questioning of yourself to some extent. There are always going to be a million reasons why you can and probably will fail, I agree that you shouldn’t pretend they aren’t there.
The rent in those region from what I've heard from colleagues (I work as a SWE in Paris) is trough the roof. you also have to pay taxes in both countries, but compensation wise you'll still end up with a significantly better deal even taking into account things like cost of living.
The commute is not better for me or my colleagues in the Paris region.

I've never seen an e-bike rider who was not whooping ass.

They usually go at least 40 km/h, which most pedal cyclists can barely reach, let alone sustain, and the e-cyclists can keep up the pace going up hills.

E-bikes are pedal-assist, which means you get the combined wattage from your legs and the motor. You have more combined wattage than a Tour de France competitor.
Yes and no. For starters, there's reliability and durability. There might even be resale value. Just because you don't want to go all in (i.e., MBP) - or can't - doesn't mean you want to own a piece of junk.

I'm not disagreeing with you per se. Simply pointing out there are other considerations when selecting hardward.

I'm not sure if the notation you'd encountered differed, but in this case the equivalence is between A^B and B -> A (note the order).

Interestingly, every identity you learned in grade school algebra which involved only addition, multiplication, and exponentiation holds here as an isomorphism. It can be a fun exercise to write the functions that take you back and forth. For instance:

A^(B+C) = A^B * A^C

to: (Either b c -> a) -> (b -> a, c -> a)
to f = (f . Left, f . Right)

fro: (b -> a, c -> a) -> (Either b c -> a)
fro (f, g) = \case
Left b -> f b
Right c -> g c
