> My only response to that is apps that aren’t made to be good macOS citizens wouldn’t even vaguely register on my radar as ‘native’, even if they link against Cocoa.

Sure. But two things:

1) I wasn't saying that an app that use nib-less techniques couldn't do the right thing - it could. It could appear totally native if someone just does the work.

2) There are several pro creativity apps (Logic, Mainstage being the biggest) that are actually Apple products but they do not adhere to Apple guidelines. They use non-standard widgets, do not fully follow desktop interactivity guidelines, use the keyboard in non-standard ways. So even within the set of Apple's own applications, there are things that are about as different as a Qt or GTK application might be.

You can see the “violent few” drag and beat an officer to death. You can see and hear the surrounding mob cheer themselves on. So how many people need to witness a murder in progress before doing anything about it?

Actually there were very few people rioting. The vast majority of the people were peacefully demonstrating when a few violent individuals took the opportunity to act contrary to the purpose of the demonstration.

There is an objective view to be had about the accuracy of criticisms of any particular political party, because some of them do have some element of truth.

But we are passed the point of objectivity in what may be the first battle in a civil war. There were casualties and there are plots of a second attack. So at this point you just have to choose sides and consider that your ability to retain support amongst your peers means not using the phrases that "the other side" created.

Whether September was “centuries ago in COVID time” or not, the public remembers this sort of thing, especially when it comes to perceived personal danger.

It was an irresponsible position for Gov. Cuomo to take, even if he only took it briefly.
My partner and I happened to be at the hospital around April time frame, and even though they had PPE-adorned people at the entrance taking temperatures and logging data, I was surprised how many nurses were not wearing masks, and indeed neither did our doctor. May have changed since then, but it felt like peak panic (of the unknown) was strongest in my area closer to the initial outbreak. While more people wear masks now, my perception is that there is far less concern about COVID. I'm curious what is responsible for that - fatigue, fatalism, survivor's recklessness?
Short answer: someone came across the piece and submitted it.

Speculation: people are paying a lot of attention to what's happening at the White House right now. From some of the comments, there's also some misunderstanding of when this happened, and may think it's something the administration is trying to get in under the wire in the last 10 days (even though that's not the case).
I have to ask though: if a company built on engineering doesn’t empower its engineers to make product decisions, who can make them?

In my anecdotal experience, the “product” people generally have lesser context than the engineers, and often rely on engineers to do their jobs. The good ones make a serious effort to get at least a vague understanding of how the product works and are hungry to hear ideas on how to deliver more value.

However most PMs will not be this way. Their primary instinct is to interface with the product hierarchy and explain to engineers what the “higher ups” want. They exercise this power by vetoing ideas that don’t fit into this narrative, even if these ideas would improve the product. Engineers then mostly don’t really share everything that they’re working on with the apathetic PM; the motivated ones build things anyways risking rebukes while others will do just what product asks for.

The only scalable solution really, is to create processes and career paths for engineers who are inclined to product design to become PMs, or at least spend part of their time as PMs.

At Service Oriented B2B companies, there is another class of people who become excellent PMs: the Customer Service Managers, who have dealt with Customers and their issues, and have a deep understanding of the problems and frustrations faced by users of these systems.
It's called pulling up the ladder behind you, and every social media platform started as a comms hub fro sexual exploitation of children and human trafficking as soon as people figured out how to use it. Yet when you kick in regulatory measures that everyone else implements as a pre-req of doing business, then you, as the governing body, must accept responsibility when a particular private actor is being threatened with existential compliance failures because tge licensor of your reference impl doesn't like the color of said private actor's business philosophy.

Private actors are extensions of government, and in large part proportional to the degree of centralization within a vertical. It's about time more people started taking this into account.

If I remember correctly, the ban against marriage came after the monasteries were well established. The monasteries were some of the largest estates in medieval Europe, and there was a fear that they would become dynasties that challenged the lords (or became poweful in their own right which could challenge the church hierarchy). The marriage prohibition kept the church in control of the monasteries and kept the relationship between the church and the lords happy.

Might be some lessons learned by talking to the elders of the time. It’s been long enough ago that the fires, and counterrevolutionary fires, have mellowed to nearly ashes. Might be nice to talk to some on both sides while they still know what year this is...getting them together might be even more insightful, as long as it isn’t inciteful.
He's definitely saying "worse is faster" but he's also saying "worse is better," if what you're measuring is how good you're at shipping a product. And I think if you change "bad" to "good enough" (to be better than existing products) then you're right.

I agree frequency is hard to prove but I think its important. If Twitter has a similar or higher frequency then they would also be guilty of consistently inciting violence as well and any person who is consistent should be trying to get Twitter pull off app stores.

I can easily find tweets that are violent that stay up for weeks after being reported. It feels like Twitter is being held to a different standard than Parler and that is my issue.

Interesting projection, as everything Obama did good or bad had to be gone. I don't think Biden will do the same thing, as some Trump policies must be beneficial in some ways.
Actually I think you might have the Colorado case misrepresented here. The baker was ruled in favor due to objecting based on his religious beliefs. Part of this was that he was okay with baking a cake for the gay couple but NOT one that had certain messaging that would violate his faith. [1]

If the baker had altogether refused to bake a cake for the gay couple, it would have been discrimination on a protected class.

We've banned this account for abusing HN with ideological flamewar and ignoring our many requests to stop. We ban accounts that do that, regardless of which ideology they're for or against. We especially ban accounts that have been using HN primarily for that, as yours has. That's a key indicator of bad-faith use of the site, and is obviously against the rules.

I think this may have been true in the past, but KDE 5 is nowhere near as bloated as KDE once was. (And they've also made huge strides in consistency and a sane UI experience.)

I've tested comparing Gnome/KDE on old hardware (eg, 2 GB of RAM and CPUs built for power conservation), and subjectively I found KDE to be a lot snappier (Gnome Shell always choked for me when hitting Activities) and, after a few hours of uptime, found it used less memory than Gnome. On the same box, it even gave Xfce a run for its money, which was surprising.

Although, when it comes to peddling Linux to other people, I'm hesistant to install KDE for anyone because it's a bit too configurable. I'm always afraid of getting asked for help because of someone accidentally messed up their UI and losing their taskbar or something like that. KDE's came a long way in recent years, but that "you can configure everything" core will always probably be there. And on the flip-side, if I install Gnome, people often find it outlandish and barebones...

They do.

How do we measure how accurate it is or not?

It's not like there is some underlying ground truth on what 'overweight' is, is there?
In 2040, computer programming as we do it today will be completely automated. There will be two main groups of software developers: those who develop machine learning models that generate computer programs, and those who translate business/product requirements into a design specification and then translate the specification into a plain English description, which is fed into a machine learning model. Entering the plain English product/feature description into an ML model will be an interactive process - the model will ask for clarifications whenever something is not clear enough to implement. At that point writing Python code will be just as arcane and tedious as writing assembly code today. ML models will generate better Python (or Rust or whatever) code than most human programmers, just like today a C compiler generates better assembly code than most human programmers. Eventually ML models will be trusted enough to produce machine code directly, making human readable programming languages obsolete.

I predict we will see first systems like this within 5 years, but it will take much longer (up to 20 years) for these systems to become reliable enough to be adopted on a mass scale. This will be similar to the adoption of self-driving cars.

p.s. this view assumes there is no AGI developed by 2040.

The story I heard is that most of these lawsuits are not being judged as BS on the merits (though some have). The majority are being thrown out using a variety of legal doctrines such as laches or standing. This is not necessarily unusual as court proceedings go, but the unfortunate side effect of doing this is that the ardent faithful will now have a lost-cause narrative to fall back on when everything else has been mowed clear.

I would prefer more of these cases to actually be tried so that they can be obliterated on the merits. Each case that is thrown out on a technicality is another tiny lilypad to stand on, and each case that is actually refuted is the removal of that pad.
Typically you just use the tool the vendor provides. Vivado if you're using Xilinx. Quartus if you're using Altera. I agree that the tools are bloated monstrosities whichever one you're using.

There are at least a million people, and likely several million, in Chinese concentration camps right now, so it's clear that they don't have to cross international borders to commit human rights violations.

The lifting of millions of Chinese out of poverty has been one of the greatest humanitarian achievements in human history and shouldn't be understated, but it doesn't justify the human rights violations that are being committed by the CCP today.
> BMI is pretty accurate

What is 'accurate' in this context? Accurate against what? What are you comparing it against to get a measure of accuracy?

It indicates against 'normal weight' - but if the population's weight changes then the 'normal weight' changes with it doesn't it?
I definitely don't agree with this. The vibe I've gotten from following center-left journalism is that the alignment against Trump has come at a heavy cost to traditional liberal values when it so happens Trump touts them (whether he is intentionally or not is a different matter). Some things that come to mind are Glenn Greenwald's writings re: the left's fascination with the Russia conspiracy, and Matt Taibbi's writings on Russia as well as some other social issues of late. Particularly (and probably because this is the overlap where Trump is the most "liberal"), the left seems to have seriously backed off their non-interventionist foreign policy desires as a direct result of Trump.

There's no such thing as a “general protected class”; there are different lists (and different effects of the status) of protected classes in various categories of law (public accommodations, employment, housing, etc.)
Because all of their workers are coordinating these actions with one another. That also explains why most of the comments around these political issues have tons of absurd pro-censorship stances on places like HN. They're the same people.
The money train is usually the part of the company that attracts the wrong kinds of people. They know it’s the easiest way to succeed: by being part of the team that brings in a lot of revenue. It becomes easier to show your “contributions” in monetary terms even if you may have not been directly responsible for that. As a result, these competitive types will also try to remove anyone who isn’t an “ally” regardless of whether these people provide value to the business.
The UI for every video chat app I've ever used is complete garbage. As for why, my best guess is that there is no money in selling video chat apps directly to consumers. Instead, they sell to businesses, in which case things like having a quality end-user experience is not a very competitive feature.

This confirms how disingenuous/delusional "free market", "free association" and "free assembly" arguments are in this case. Decisions by entities of this size simply cannot be interpreted under a "free association" lens, except to the same extent that Lockheed-Martin not selling arms to Iran, or, more pertinently, Baidu not serving up photos of the Tiananmen Square protests, can be interpreted under the same lens. You cannot conclude that an act of censorship is not a state or government wielding its power merely because it is done by a private company,

Nominally, Tencent is a privately owned company freely choosing who they provide a platform to [2]. But in reality, they have absolutely no choice but to ban Winnie the Pooh, unless they want a state apparatus to make their lives incredibly difficult from then on.

The same in the US: these are not mom-and-pop stores with immediate agents and agendas exercising their free association rights in accordance with their personal beliefs. These are large tech companies, deeply and inseparably intertwined with public authority and the political parties, lobbying and making political contributions on one side, seeking political approval and avoiding threats of regulatory retaliation on the other. They know full well that if they ban the wrong speech and refuse to ban the "right" speech, they face being regulated out of business. Indeed, seeing this threat, we see them scramble to align with an incoming administration.

You don't have to be an all-in free speech absolutist to see what's wrong with this: we're not talking about people with fringe views having to move to fringe platforms, we're talking about the campaign of the largest (soon-to-be-)opposition party being banned from major platforms en masse, while people with significant credibility regarding authoritarianism [1], who also happen to be on bad terms with said opposition party [2] denounce these acts as "unacceptable acts of censorship".

This one is rough. I suppose nurse's have a legal right not to get vaccinated, but because they are going to be in contact with at-risk populations and are exponentially more likely to encounter sick people, I figure hospitals have a right not to employee those nurse's for a while (unless they already have antibodies), and patients should have a right to know too.
Regulations are too complex to get right like that. You need to figure out how to enforce following the spirit of them not the letter or you will forever be seeing more crises that you didn't foresee.
