I trust myself to run my life. I don't trust others to run theirs. I know there is one obvious mechanism to ensure that I have liberty while others do not: to require great discretion of things that require personal liberty, and to harshly prosecute those incapable of that discretion.

So, for instance, as someone who uses substantial amounts of drugs, I support extensive prosecution of drug users - not because I don't think people should be able to use drugs but because I think there is a threshold of responsibility for drug use.

People are unable to accept that this threshold exists, but absent that threshold, many will fall into the thrall of the drug-induced haze. I have tested my own abilities here, having used drugs extensively, then abstained for half a decade as a test, and then used again. But most have not. They are not as capable as I am.

Given that, and given that people will not accept a test of their abilities, there is one surefire way to enforce the threshold: make it illegal and then permit use among those capable.

This is the status quo. Walk around any tech office and point in any direction. A ray projected from your finger will likely hit someone who has used cocaine, MDMA, LSD, Shrooms, or some other Schedule I substance that is not marijuana.

It may not be crazy or malevolent, but it is egregiously negligent. There's a real wisdom behind the quote "with great power, comes great responsibility".

While I don't agree, I think it's perfectly possible for a reasonable, well-intentioned person to believe in drug prohibition. But actually following through with that policy inevitably means destroying the lives of millions of people. That may be defensible on utilitarian grounds. But if you're going to pull the Trolley Car level, you better make damn sure that you're not actually switching to a track running over more people,

How many of the current policymakers, politicians or prosecutors who continue to wage the drug war have bothered to do a rigorous evaluation of the evidence for themselves? How many have performed an in-depth examination of Portugal's experiment with decriminalization? How many could show you their utilitarian calculus, giving precise figures between people incarcerated and overdoses prevented? Heck, how many politicians lack an even basic understanding of the physiological effects of the chemicals they're imprisoning people for?

99 out of 100 drug warriors show a total lack of respect for the responsibility of the power that they're asking us to give them. If you're going to ruin the lives of millions of people, and infringe on fundamental personal civil liberties, then the standard needs to be higher than "I've got a good feeling that this is the right thing to do".
that's a matter of definition i guess, but i'd say mostly yes, as a few competitors will go for a cost strategy, while others will differentiate. a decent (but not perfect) example is the laptop market. you have lenovo, hp, dell, acer, msi, asus, etc. mostly pursuing a cost strategy, with some differentiation efforts at the tops of their product lines, while apple (and perhaps razer) pursues a differentiation strategy. then you have a bunch of no-name companies also competing on price. you can buy a laptop for as little as a hundred bucks, all the way up to $5000 (and more).
This literally only benefits the company owners.

If you can live with only 802.11ac, I've had great results flashing OpenWRT onto Mikrotik wAP AC boards. Performance peaks at about ~400mbps TCP throughput at 2x2 MCS-9. WPA3 works without problems. For multi-ap, setting up 802.11r is fairly straightforward, k/v requires some custom scripting to generate the neighbor reports. Be careful not to get the new revision with the two chain radio as the chipset is different and not yet supported by OpenWRT.
QuickJS is crazy embeddable too, being written in C89 and only a few source/header files. You might need to work around a few situations if your platform doesn't have all of libc but otherwise it's incredibly accommodating.

I would first check with your HR department and find out if they have a policy and procedure around this, given your company has been remote since day 1. They could probably also offer advise on what is best plan of action that maps to the culture of your company. They could probably also suggest options that could be given to the employee in the off-boarding process that may soften the blow.

I think some would agree that letting someone go via email-only could be a bit impersonal and cold. Assuming you have regular one-on-one's with this person, it should not be too much of a surprise that you are letting them go? After talking to HR, the one-on-one should be the right time and place for that. If you are not comfortable having these discussions, someone from HR or your management org should be able to join the video call with you.

To be fair, it's obvious the author is a non-native speaker. It's totally reasonable to miss the subtlety that a "cult classic" usually implies that it's not mainstream. Google doesn't even make that obvious in it first result: "something, typically a film or book, that is popular or fashionable among a particular group or section of society."

I don't really see how that hurts his credibility, since it's clear what happened and what the author meant. If your interpretation was that the author was trying to highlight his niche 90s sitcom tastes, then I think you were the one committing the communication error here.
That's not what I'm getting at. What I'm getting at is that to say that "even if Apple goes 100% M1, there's the other 85% of the market that Intel is likely far more concerned about." is somewhat far-fetched. Apple can make their own desktop chips because it's an easier problem than making a phone chip (performance/thermal efficiency), but Intel can't make because they've sacrificed thermal efficiency time and time again -- not just this time but a decade ago. Remember Prescott?

I think that is why Intel should be (and probably is) worried about Apple. They will make Intel redundant by having solved a harder problem which their own problem becomes a subset of.

My 2c:

1) Surrounding ecosystem. This is one of the reason React is so popular. The community and ecosystem of React packages is extremely large.

2) Personal preference. There really isn't much difference between React/Vue/Angular in terms of getting the job done (Same with most good libraries), so either you pick a library because you need a very specific piece of functionality from it, or you pick it because you/your team/your org prefers it.
> The risks of taking opiates with access to a safe, affordable, unadulterated, and consistent supply are significantly more manageable

Won't unadulterated opiates be more addictive and powerful than their adulterated street counterparts? Meaning people will get addicted more quickly and more strongly? How affordable is affordable, considering that they will almost certainly be taxed? Would it be affordable enough that a minimum wage worker be able to fund a heroin addiction without sacrificing food for their kids, for example? Even now, cigarettes take a huge chunk out of poor people's budget, to the point that they buy cigarettes first and fall back on food stamps to feed the kids second.

16GB DDR4 2400 DIMMs run about $67 retail. So about 1/10 of the total cost of that board. It's a little apples and oranges, but since it seems like they just plucked down the same 8 chips you'd find on a DIMM right to the board maybe not that much.

I note that it has a PCIe x8 slot, but they don't have drivers for a video card (or any card) yet so it's kinda useless.

Even if he were to be pardoned for any federal crimes (which isn't implausible, even without a self-pardon) he seems pretty likely to face criminal charges in New York State and possibly, with the election extortion effort, Georgia, that are not subject to federal pardon.

Prison probably complicates a comeback campaign in 2024. (Also, even without that, he would have neither the outsider ambiguity that help him win in 2016 not the power of incumbency that helped him, but not enough to win, in 2020. He might retain enough influence with the Republican base that if he isn't disabled by legal issues he could win a nomination in 2024, but the general election seems more uphill.)
If you can't decide between two options then take out a coin. Heads you get a burger, tails you get tacos. Flip the coin. If you feel even a tinge of regret or disappointment over the result, then go with the other option.

The relevant test is whether the speaker incited imminent lawless action, not just whether their words were "inflammatory". Many people made careless statements like Pelosi's, but none was really close to directly inciting any sort of uprising.

React Query is pretty cool. I haven't used it in my own projects, but based on all the discussion I've seen, it looks like a solid choice.

Meanwhile, we in the Redux team recently published an alpha library that we've dubbed "RTK Query" [0]. It takes inspiration from data fetching libraries like React Query, SWR, Apollo, and Urql, and provides similar sophisticated data fetching and caching capabilities. But, it's built on top of Redux Toolkit, which enables integration with the rest of the Redux addon ecosystem and the Redux DevTools. Once we've finalized the design of the new APIs, we're going to merge them back into Redux Toolkit itself, so that they'll just be additional exports from Redux Toolkit. I'm really excited about how this will let Redux users simplify their code, and wrote a comment over on Reddit today about how RTK Query changes things for Redux users [1].

At Automattic we have not been using email for the past dozen years for internal communications. We replace email with WordPress.com/P2 plus IRC (moved on to Slack).

In our internal P2s we count 1 million posts (that might have been emails), 2.6 million comments (that might have been email replies) across 1,100 P2s (that might have been email silos).

We are active on Slack, but decisions are made on asynch P2s which are the source of truth.
Because Pelosi didn't tell a crowd of people to walk down Pennsylvania Ave and 'give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country'.

Stating that you don't understand why there aren't uprisings is different that calling for a highly specific action (such as say walking down to the capital) that is well within the reach and capability of the crowd.

Ask HN: How are open source projects coordinated/organized?
This is what tech and programming is to some people. It's about knowing the latest and greatest tech trends. And they'll often brag about the ones they know to others who don't know them.

Some call them brogrammers. For their hipster-like approach to programming.

Believe it or not, a lot of them are on hackernews so they'll probably get super offended by this post.

in general I try not to accumulate a lot of stuff, so as much as possible I try to just not buy the thing at all if I don't really need it. most of the stuff that I would theoretically buy the cheap version of I actually get for free from roommates moving out.

one good example is furniture. I don't care about furniture, but I do need a bed, a couch, etc., so I just buy the cheapest reasonable pieces I can find at walmart or ikea. there's a good chance I might move far away in the next few years. when/if that happens, I'll just sell or give away all my current furniture and buy new shitty versions wherever I end up. I'll probably recoup a lot of the money by renting a smaller uhaul and not having to pay professional movers.
> When you know you’re going to be downvoted regardless of what you post, it’s easy for your writing to take on a bitter and cynical tone. That said, most of my comments aren’t even like that and still get inexplicable downvotes.

I believe that you hit the nail on the head there. If your reaction to feedback from your peers is to turn bitter you are creating a vicious circle.

When I get a downvote, I analyze my comment and try to detect the mistake or social faux pas I commited. For example, most *chan or Reddit lingo is frowned upon so I avoid them.

This is an account I created 4 months ago because my previous account was named after a domain I no longer own. I am already at 811 karma. My previous account, created in 2013, had 5930 karma with long periods of inactivity. Karma is meaningless if you do not use it as a metric to detect how your peers perceive you. It's points without a scoreboard and no one is keeping track.

This does not mean I bend backward and follow the opinions of others. I do stand by my comments that are downvoted and would repeat them verbatim if the same conversation arise. But that's an exception and it's usually about controversial topics.

Remember that the words you write are going to be read by someone (or what's the point?). So make sure you are either helpful to other users or that you bring the discussion forward. Otherwise you are simply wasting someone's time and they will quickly click on the downward triangle.

This is not an attack, I am genuinely trying to help you get out of that catch-22.
Honestly even with a high quality supply I'd tend to prefer if the drive were externally powered. I have flashbacks to the first generation Pis that would brownout and reboot if you plugged in a mouse or keyboard while it was running.
> A significant portion of the risk of using opiates recreationally comes directly with interacting with the black market

Opiates are available through legal markets by Rx. Historically, it's been a low barrier to getting these Rx.

Opiate / opioid usage tends not to stay recreational indefinitely, and I don't know any organization realistically advocating for this.

> that doesn't mean that it's a great idea to nip out to the local smartshop and buy some horse.

This would be a pivot for "seeing a man about a horse."
Keep in mind that maintainers of large projects are often burned or stressed out. On top of that, the "German" guy's first language is probably not English, it's German. You can't expect for every non-native speaker to always hit the "right" tone not because they are rude, but because they translate it from another language.

I think calling open source "greedy" is an antithesis and a sentiment that if repeated enough burns out the best maintainers. They do not work for the software's adopters and it is their fair right to ask for money if they spend time on doing work that only benefits others.

I recommend reading a bit about open source and expectation management: https://mikemcquaid.com/2018/03/19/open-source-maintainers-o...

In any case, it is unfortunate that the interaction did not meet your expectations. Keycloak is a great project, with a great community, and if it solves your needs you have made the correct choice!

No, stopping uncommonly downloaded software from running is Microsoft's way to force new developers to use their app store, since software distributed from there is exempt from that limitation.

Your last point is a good one, but there are a many ways that you could be wrong. To name one:
The Von Neumann probe is a compelling model and it is more likely that we would see something fitting that description rather than the original form of an extraterrestrial intelligence.
We have no good reason to think that such an advanced civilization would have mastered faster than light communication either. So the behavior of these cylinders, assuming they are VN probes, may only be simplistic surveying routines which have been running for tens of thousands of years and were not at all designed for interacting with humans. There may also be resource constraint issues present in the construction of self replicating Von Neumann probes that make the type of interaction you are hoping for infeasible, in terms of compute, agenda, or something else we aren’t aware of.

Working for a small European startup sucks.
