Who decides who are the fascists?

A community activist in Seattle is organizing against Antifa calling them terrorists for causing violence and hijacking social justice issues such as Black Lives Matter and the homeless issue.

Should that group also be refused by everyone, or does it depend on political ideology?

It's surprising the performance on modern hardware is so low. I would expect the GPU emulation to suffer, but not CPU.

NixOS and the nix package manager are revolutionary OS tools, hampered by a convoluted, undocumented language and library (itself called Nix).

Despite this, I think it's totally worth going through the pain of learning Nix to use NixOS. There is nothing else like it. I imagine other OS's will try to copy and borrow the ideas, in fact they are already doing this (see all the half baked immutable OS stuff out there...), but nothing is as good as NixOS at the moment.

Note: A notable exception is GNU Guix, which is another excellent OS/package manager that is very similar to Nix, with the far more approachable Guile (scheme based). Unfortunately the ecosystem is just not large enough to be usable for practical purposes - also it's hampered by the usual aversion to non-free software.
IRS doesn't consider software development a charitable act

This is correct AFAIK and Mozilla ran into the same thing years ago. Educational charities can be tax-exempt so you have to have an educational mission and develop software on the side. https://blogs.gnome.org/jnelson/2014/06/30/the-new-501c3-and...
Sounds like a sort of social psychosis, lead by psychopaths in lead positions, or anonymous anarchy. Point being humans experience pleasure at such fantastical thinking, especially when validated in a group setting, even online. In the beginning this can be powerful feelings, though more like addiction and craving over time.

Anyways, that was a brief attempt to grok "crazytalk".
Even though I'm on the right, I have noticed anti-war lefties get banned a lot.

Even copblock, something both of the more socially liberal wings of the political spectrum can appreciate, has been banned multiple times.
Personally I'm really sad that the original Windows RT or the first Generation of Windows RT Tablets were never cracked. I have one of them and they are very smooth to work with (tried to use it as a wall mounted tablet for home automation)

But it only has IE, the microsoft store doesn't work anymore and it's awful to work with in the browser. Would love to see some small linux distribution on it just for the browser

KDE Fixed this.

Nothing new under the sun.
Professional engineers can be held criminally responsible if a building they sign off on fails. Chartered accountants can be held criminally liable if they sign off on fudged books. I don't see why an executive can't be held responsible for creating a culture under which illegal activity is the only viable option for their employees.
It's probably easy to believe that if you're developing a SaaS app on the Pacific Coast, but in actually-existing reality -- no, they won't.

Their business processes and products are often sclerotic, and so are vulnerable to disruption by smaller, more nimble startups. That's the central premise of virtually all B2B software from the Valley. But they certainly aren't going to die.

In fact, large companies and enormous capital are required to take things from a "disruptive innovation" to a household name, to say nothing of providing an exit for SV startups. So, they're a vital part of the biosphere and they're not going anywhere.
I had a 3 year HostGator plan. I moved off it to Linode before the three years was up. After 3 years they billed my debit card again for another 3 years, and would not refund the money nor would my bank as it was debit charge, so basically they scammed me out of $300. Please use anyone but HostGator. Linode has always been great, and SSD Nodes is even cheaper with great service.
If it's already happened to you, why are you happy about this?

All this is going to do is create a real market for more decentralisation and censorship resistance, we have a modicum of control now but that's going to evaporate with the next iteration of the web if this trajectory continues

> it's just slightly too rigid for my own personal use.

I get what you're saying, but the reality is the opposite. Nix is _far_ more powerful and flexible than anything you can do in Arch. It sounds to me like you just wanted a particular packages available, and Nix didn't have that. But if you have the inclination to learn Nix, you will be able to customize your system, in a safe and repeatable, declarative approach, far more than you could ever do with Arch.
God, this is true, but most HN posters can't see it for some reason.

Princeton already proved America is an oligarchy with a paper that was released a few years back, showing that when the rich wanted a certain policy implemented, it was passed into law at any almost 80% rate, compared with the "average voter" wanting a policy made into law at about a 50% rate.

Here's that article:

https://scholar.princeton.edu/sites/default/files/mgilens/fi...

Now here's what's super telling, or at least should be... if you Google "princeton oligarchy study america" or some combination, the very first fucking result you'll find will be a Vox article saying its wrong. Because the ultra-rich need to perpetuate the myth that your voice matters. Google needs you to be stupid enough to believe that.
They almost certainly were assholes the whole time, it’s just that very recently they proved they were not just assholes but murderous treasonous ones in action in a way that removed all reasonable doubt.
This only works if you're targeting expensive, competitive keywords like "personal injury lawyer".

Your impact on any other keyword would be effectively zero.

I believe that in AWS's statement they said that they would help them retain their data. I'm sure it just means that after midnight their S3 and RDS services are going read only until they're done taking their data out. Maybe make a final backup of their databases and put it in a bucket.

I'd be a bit more disturbed if AWS was going to remove read access after midnight.
it'd be nice if there were some quickly-accessible bounty portal (maybe even from the DE itself) where proposals could be upvoted and crowd-funded. 500 people see it and offer $10 and that's a $5000 bounty, payable on merge or returned in 90 days. people could even run side-hussles of proposing features in the hopes that they're funded.
Imagine these sorts of honest computer novices watch you use GNOME. Imagine how silly you look to the 99% of the population who uses a functioning file picker.

Been trying to point this out for years. I love Gnome (not sure why, I guess because it used to be lighter than Qt?) but it's gotten really tired-looking. I think back to when I used to use Enlightenment on top of Gnome and everything was super-configurable and it looked way ahead of other UIs. Some things are still better, like semi-transparent terminal windows. But I can't remember the last time I looked at Linux desktop environment and thought 'wow.' A lot of things are...pretty clunky.*
> The article uses JIRA is a touchstone that seems to equate to no autonomy.

Technically I don't think JIRA by itself means no autonomy, it's just how it's used. But JIRA can expose a ton of metrics to upper management. And I think that management influencing how JIRA is used probably indicates lower autonomy.

For instance, story points and velocity being tracked by management might be problematic. Is the team tracking everything with story points? Otherwise certain types of work could be hidden, and slow down velocity. Is management using those metrics for team or individual performance reviews?
Wisdom may go beyond just banning everything "we" don't like. That gets old after a while.
There's also the possibility of an opt-in stable ABI (using the `repr` mechanism). I personally really like the idea of there being an opt-in cross-language ABI at a higher level (or supporting more use cases) than the C ABI (which is quite limiting).

Hi. Thank you.

We don't serve ads yet, but when we do the answer is yes. More users give the search engine more leverage when negotiating with advertisers and also the networking effect is important. That is, even if you don't click on ads you probably will share the search engine with somebody else.

To be fair legal shops often have the same policy. (Bonus = your billed hours/total billed hours * surplus)
Speculation: A coordinated action including of legal services strongly suggests to me that the vendors themselves have pressure applied, most likely being an ongoing federal law enforcement/security operation. The smell of this goes beyond the business community suddenly deciding Parler is an utterly dispicable organisation.

This also raises the question of what heat is now being applied to Parler's backers, notably billionaires Robert and Rebekah Mercer.

I agree, seeing my self during a zoom call is similar to looking in the mirror at myself while in a meeting, i've never done it in person, and would be very odd to see someone do it during a meeting. Ive been trying out new approaches to tackling the "looking in the mirror" tendency I get while in a virtual call. So far, the simplest and most effective is just minimizing the zoom call all together and listening to everything. I've never needed to see myself during a meeting before, why do I need to now?
In this case, incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.
I’d like wireless webcam tech to evolve in the same way that we now have robust, ubiquitous protocols and hardware for wireless audio. It should be as easy to switch source to one of your wireless/Bluetooth webcams as it is to switch audio output to a Bluetooth speaker.
Twitter is doing more damage then they can possibly imagine to their business by reacting in such a heavy-handed manner. They are trying to flex their control but by banning people they relinquish the ability to censor and moderate. It's better to be in control of the conversation then to not be privy because it happened beyond your purview.
Although this rant complains a lot, the programmers in the bug report acknowledge that they like this fixed, but also explain that there is architectural debt in the code that makes it hard to implement.
Being a user in Gnome, I have to say would be nice if it is there, but this will not break my whole experience.
That book would probably be very similar to a book about writing your own web browser (since any part of a webpage can be edited by a javascript routine, and modern documents come close to webpages in complexity).

>"what if we just dump everyone in the same room and hope it works"

Yep, it's pretty abysmal for class settings.

I know it's partly down to configuration/instructors but being shoved into a room by an instructor with 40 other people forced to stare into a webcam while watching everyone else doing the same is not an ideal environment.

There needs to be a lot more attention on how and when to select additional participants in the general case where there's only one or two priority speakers and the rest are basically just sitting around listening.

Now of course me personally I'd just rather not use a webcam at all (Or only when specifically called on), but often that's not a choice unfortunately.
This is a real point.

When you read something with a modern perspective, you might get a vague or simple sense of what the author was intending, but a deeper and richer understanding can be misunderstood, or completely missed. Many simple assumptions in the minds the readers of the time, would be totally lost to us today, unless we reached out and studied.

For instance, (to steal from an author I can't remember) - try to imagine a culture in 2000+ years coming across an ancient fragment which reads: "The Dolphins went to the air and pummeled the Lions."
I wonder if it's leaking into other distros.

Just like proglangs got destructuring and lambdas gradually.. maybe OSes are influenced by nix.
It would be like scrum of scrums in LeSS or PIs in SAFe. But instead of focusing on what work would be done, it would focus on how it would be done, and what changes scrum masters would make.
I am not going to lie, I was really worried for a bit.

I don't know if I'm delusional at this point for mistaking sarcasm for mainstream political culture opinion, if it's scary that belief is even possibly real, or somewhere in between.
It's kind of implied. "Monk" comes from the Greek word "monos", which means "alone." You can check this by reading the Rule and seeing how well it can be followed by someone who is married.
A great image. I actually use this when I try to teach perspective. Of all the subjects in art and design, perspective is the most difficult to teach. My success rate has to be 20% at best.

And here is the book it was made for: https://archive.org/details/gri_33125009352994/page/n65/mode...

Interesting title. "Dr. Brook Taylor's method of perspective made easy : both in theory and practice : in two books, being an attempt to make the art of perspective easy and familar, to adapt it intirely to the arts of design, and to make it an entertaining study to any gentleman who shall chuse so polite an amusement."

The last line of the title evidences that in those days anyone with an education was expected to know how to draw. A few years after this book was published, drawing was introduced as an optional subject in universities.
My team has had success with using Gather.Town as well! The only downside is that it is a little unwieldy, in that you have to be careful where you are positioned so that you don't accidentally lose contact. The "rules" of what constitutes a shared space and when you have to rely on proximity, are also a little unclear.

I think there's a lesson in Chapter 6 for most (if not all) politicians. Though they're probably a lost cause when it comes to Chapter 7.
Yeah everybody here is up in arms because it's FB/Signal but this is as old as the hills. Search for any major product and most of the ads will be their competitors.

Not sure why this is a big deal. Is it good? No. Is it new? Not particularly.
I feel like the article is mostly written from a product perspective. I worked in an area that was billed out by the hour, it was just complicated enough to require developers to do the work, but the work pieces were very quantifiable (add text to say xyz based on a business rule, show different images based on a rule, etc). It meant graduate programmers, immigrants with limited English skills, or others without much talent or drive would end up there. It's a good safe role for someone who just wants to get paid and go home on time (usually).

It was very much a factory in the way the article says, but I feel like it has to be because of the nature of the work. I did talk to customers directly on larger projects but since I was building on top of internal systems and processes my role was mainly implementation/glue coding. Most of my frustrations were with our internal dev and IT who built and maintained the systems - over time they became more walled off, not less, which definitely impacted our work. And unfortunately as we were more 'client facing' any outages came back to bite us, not them, which was an annoying organisational dysfunction. They simply weren't incentivised to care as much as we were.
Nautilus does already have such a cache though. But there is little to no code sharing between nautilus and the gtk file picker, which I think is the actual problem here.
My partner runs a small business and bidding on competitors is recommended by many marketing blogs.

It's extremely common now and before the internet this sort of marketing i.e. positioning against your competitor was also extremely common.
>P.S. There will never be ads in Signal, because your data belongs in your hands not ours.

I don't believe my data belongs in my hands when I use Signal, because they own the servers and the only one who takes design decisions for backend side are they.

Signal is a registered Trademark. They are buying ads for the word Signal. How is that not Trademark squatting?

> Facebook is not bribing anyone.

I think OPs point is that it should be considered bribery to pay Google to show up at the top of the search results. I think they chose their words very intentionally.
They wouldn't be complicit. The legal structure allows companies to operate with protection from their users engaging in illegal activities until it's explicitly proven or otherwise ordered by the state.

The "we think it's clear" is the dangerous part, especially when applied outside of a few easy targets discussed here. MC/Visa have numerous examples of shutting down completely legitimate businesses, and so do Google and Apple usually with a weekly HN thread highlighting yet another startup/app unceremoniously wiped off the net. Either it's all a problem or none of it is. Do you disagree with this?
The Constitution gives a format for making decisions and living with them when we don't agree. It's not really for finding common ground. That's up to us.
The ISO date standard says that decades begin on years ending in zero. Should be the end of the debate.

I made the switch you are talking about. I did talk about my job in the interviews, and in retrospect that would have been a pretty clear signal than I didn't know how that type of company works. I think I got the job because my employer is primarily looking for competent problem solvers, and they are willing to teach the rest on the job. Not all companies may be like this, but the big ones probably will.
I disliked KDE 3 & 4, however KDE 5 is great. Plasma Desktop is impressive and pleasant to use.
If sedition and insurrection are being planned, advocated, and organised on your site and you continuously claim it's no big deal, you might find yourself with legal and national security concerns and pressures, and not merely business partner TOU/AUP prroblems.
Realistically who is studying your code? Probably nobody unless you made something super famous. Otherwise youre what trying to show off? It's a lot of effort to get people to be: "neat, im confused" (Believe me I say that as a person that's written a lot of "im being clever" things to the delight of nobody)
Oh definitely. The whole concept of immutable OS management - this stuff all comes from NixOS's influence. You see it in Silverblue for example, and other mainstream distros. They are a pale imitation but the influence is there.

Sorry, I should have picked better numbers. I'm just saying many of the comments, I won't pretend I know "most" let alone all.

It's too late to stop the violence that's already happened. That's cheap and I don't like it but it's true sadly. There are real questions to be asked why the FBI weren't all over this from day 1. They need to be asked because it's (literally) their job to prevent this.

Im just suggesting really that we make the system work as it's meant to: FBI investigates, people plotting violence are intercepted before they commit it. Even if they are right wing nuts.

Im also pretty convinced parler isn't "responsible" in the sense that if it didn't exist there wouldn't have been violence (that doesn't excuse them for profiting off it). It would have been coordinate on r/TheDonald or via Facebook or twitter or wherever. Parler wasn't even a thing for most of the last 4 years and this has been brewing at least that long in my opinion. That's actually why I would like the idea of prevention. Banning parler gives us all an excuse to go back to sleep till next time and then (again) say "how did this happen?".

Thanks for listing to my rant!
