As a former Israeli, a country where ultra-orthodox Jewish women work as developers and ask you to leave the door open as a sign of modesty or to keep the kitchen Kosher and where Jewish colleagues all leave for a prayer once or twice a day, I simply learned to live with that and look for the person behind the religiousness.

Some were great developers, some were not- the same as any other person, the only thing that would hole me back is someone that tries to force beliefs on me either explicitly or implicitly.
No updates in the area of GPU might be a good thing for me, can anyone share experiences regarding Linux with the 4000?

There’s also Emperor of All Maladies (and his other book Genes) from another author that may be of interest.
I've been thinking and came to the conclusion that cancer might be a way of the body to get rid of excess sugar and maybe other toxins. Many cancers seem to respond well when ppl go keto for example
AMD hardware names look like a mess for me, but is it really different from Intel's i3-i9 cpus for both desktops and laptops?

An online version of the dominoes-based game, Mexican Train. I've kept it free, and it's already brought thousands of folks closer together during the pandemic. After some scaling issues, I'm currently rooting out bugs and moving to a new, faster API.

If anyone wants to help, it's React and PHP. I get emails daily thanking me for creating it, so it's a really rewarding project to work on.
If you're going to talk about homelessness on the West Coast, at least give us statistics on what percentage are native to the West Coast, what percentage came from out of state and became homeless later on, and what percentage were literally homeless in another state and given a bus ticket to the West Coast because this is a fairly rampant thing.
They are unavailable in the sense that rent/utilities/transportation is expensive whether you want it or not, and minimum wage part time jobs won't pay rent.

It's high cost of living that urban singles areas have and rural multi-generational homes don't.
>It is caused by peoples' jobs not paying a living wage

I thought this is the whole point of minimum wage laws. I see this word often but i don't understand the difference between 'living wage' and 'minimum wage' .

Can 'living wage' be clearly defined so the number can be derived using logic ?
Technically, they only have to provide it to their users, but they have to give their users the freedom to redistribute it.

But yes that's effectively publicly releasing it.
I have another question, is profit a motive for HN? It does not appear to be. Before HN there was slashdot.org, whicj is still around. Slashdot lost the thread I think because of revenue concerns and change of ownership. If this place is truly 100% a finacial loss then it does seem to validate yet again that news for profit is a bad idea because the news is soon compromised in the name of more viewership to drive ad revenue. If Reddit went 100% loss then I'm sure better moderation decisions would be available to them, likewise for Twitter and Facebook.

In many ways, this is very cool.

But, I have to admit, I don't love it. I would love to have an integrated environment where client/server doesn't matter, but I don't think this gets far enough. Working in a spread of html.erb with special tags plus some Javascript doesn't feel great to me compared to React.

I like their TodoMVC app, since that gives a simple, minimal starting point. Getting persistence in that few lines of code is nice.

However, it has also at least one bug compared to canonical TodoMVC. I think the problem of this kind of too-clever binding is that it makes this kind of bug easy to introduce; whereas something with clear one-way data-binding like React, for all it can be verbose and annoying, tends to make it easier to get this sort of thing right.

(The bug? Click an existing todo to edit it, start typing, then press escape. The edit is meant to be discarded, but instead you'll see a flash of the old value and then the new value is persisted. It's not the worst bug ever, but shows that even in a simple app, experts can subtly screw up important behaviour.)
It pisses me off that for something of this magnitude this guy will probably only be paid no more than a couple thousand dollars, if at all. He still has no response.
I laughed out loud when he said he held down the print screen key until it started repeating. That’s exactly the kind of thing a user would do but a developer would never think of!

> "It would be unfortunate and detrimental to The Intercept for this story to be published elsewhere." So that is stating very clearly: No we won't publish it. No you can't publish it elsewhere.

This is not logical implication at all.

> In my view Glenn has integrity. That means something. I don't doubt he would have written a similar story if the facts related to any powerful politician. Trump, McConnell, Pelosi, anyone. Do you?

I think that in fact he selects who he writes about a lot. He is not trying to be all sides equal objective. He also ignores evidence he dont like and uncritically believe people when it suits him.

In fact, it is part of his journalism philosophy. He calls journalistic objectivity myth, not something to strive for. (His arguments actually convicted me too. Altrought I dont trust him anymore, this one did stayed with me.).

I think that this is the worst feedback loop in American society. You get the cycle of poverty, no healthcare, petty crime, criminal record or prison, round and round. Many Americans who are well off fail to realize that in the end they're paying for all of this. They're paying for the prisons, subsidies, etc. Many I know call the poor/homeless drains on society but do not want to do anything to help them become a positive on society. It's spiteful and not pragmatic.
Agreed. Half the time I "plug in" my MacBook by maneuvering it (the laptop) into the vicinity of the MagSafe connector.
This isn't a new practice, and it isn't specific to AMD:

There's 4 bullet points in that link. None of them are related to censorship.

I can 100% understand how some people can conflate "deplatforming" with censorship (there is an argument to be made that they're the same thing), but this isn't calling for deplatforming.

It specifically states: deplatforming has been done, but what we actually really need is these 4 extra (non-censorship-related) things.

I'm curious to hear an explanation of how either of the following 4 things are censorship:

1. advertising transparency

2. selection algorithm transparency

3. algorithmic boosting of fact-checked sources

4. funding academic research into the impact of online platforms

Thanks for your comment. I should go and read someone who’s actually studied the phenomenon, instead of making conjectures.

Seconded on recommendation for "Evicted". Mathew Desmond provides a clear description of the interactions of racism, poverty and homelessness. He has both the stats and real stories of people he profiles. The book deeply affected how I think about those topics.
Those were F keys before, which I could put my finger on and use without having to hunt for the correct featureless spot on the Touch Bar every time I needed to step.
The reason is time to market.

Intel are releasing new laptop parts said to beat their 4000 series, so they need to continue being competitive out of the door.

Also their highest margin chips are going to be pared with discrete GPUs.
Yes it is local in the context of this discussion (working near your previous home). Of course you are competing with people in other localities who might outcompete you due to better local economic business conditions

> "To me it seems the public can't be persuaded that paying for something is better than getting it "for free" (with ads and tracking)"

This is even more true when the paid option is often a worse version of the "free" offering.
You getting downvoted for this is sadly unsurprising on HN.

Yes, it is exactly like the marriage problem and some people still don't divorce.
Note that this is probably illegal in many places.

I'm probably the minority, but I don't see the point of terminal multiplexers.

I do see the point of reattaching to shell sessions or attaching from multiple devices.

But I already have a window manager that can manage multiple windows. I can reattach to as many sessions as I like and use my window manager to move them around. I don't see why I would want another window manager inside of an application. These nested window managers just seem to add complexity.

There is a very rare category of cancers for which this is not true, clonally transmissible cancers[1]. They can move from individual to individual like other pathogens. One example is the devil facial tumor disease[2] that has killed around 95% of Tasmanian devils.

> without developing a view that they're less than human.

OP is talking about coping with what they are tasked to do. You can't treat them the way that "local governments, citizens, and the like" require you too, without hardening your heart, or it will really tear you up inside.
Let’s say, for the sake of argument, the is some ‘socialization’ of housing, whatever that means ... but somehow everyone always has a place to live no matter what.

In that situation should we still be angry about minimum wage?

See, we are conflating things here.

Some people really can’t work and need help. At that point, as I said above, specific rent amounts and wage amounts become irrelevant.

You need to focus on: what will genuinely help them? Drug treatment? Mental Health treatment. A lifetime of free food and housing etc and the removal of any obligation to contribute to society forever?

I say none of this ironically. When someone simply can’t work, and no one else voluntarily want to take care of them, we have to figure out what to do. And how to distinguish between fakers and real. And between temporary and permanent. Partial and complete.

At that point there are so many issues, putting high rents and low wages in is literally a distraction.

I love the command line and use it all the time.

But let's be honest, the design is pretty esoteric.

You want to find a file containing a particular string? For some reason the tool is called 'grep'. The name is followed by '-r' then the search term, then the directory to start the search in.

And it won't be long before you start encountering tools with such intuitive names as 'sed' and 'awk' and 'crontab'

The tool for finding a file by name is better - that's called 'find' - except compared to grep the arguments are swapped: The directory to search is now the first parameter, not the last.

Oh, to find the *.desktop files on your system you did a find on / ? Yes, the messages like "find: ‘/proc/19917/fd’: Permission denied" are normal, you should ignore them. It's easy, simply add 2>/dev/null to the command.

Before you know it, the command line infects your brain and you start saying things like "sudo and nohup are perfectly good names"
That certainly seems like a complex problem to solve :-)
Is believe in science also not a religion?

But besides that I have met some amazing geeks who are religious nuts too. Most don't talk about their religion at work. But some can get annoying.

This one guy would use weird jesus love us language during outage. It drove every focused on troubleshooting mad. Another guy decided he will convert me to Christianity. Loved long discussions with him. I might have turned a bit atheist though. But he started it. Atheism is also a religion in my view.

Another person I worked with turned out be extremely religious and racist on twitter. He was nicest guy at work. But once I saw his Twitter, I just felt repulsed by him especially racism. He quit eventually to start his own bible startup.

These are just extreme examples, most religious people never mentioned religion until I became their friends on facebook and saw they were Jesus lovers
Roughly speaking, yes. Alternative browsers for iOS can offer a different UI or a different way of handling bookmarks, but they're always powered by the same rendering engine and JavaScript engine that Safari uses. Apple even seems to forbid extending the capabilities of WebKit and JavaScript Core, presumably you wouldn't be permitted to add support for additional video codecs for instance. [0]

The only exception is Opera Mini, which is a frontend for Opera's cloud-based HTML rendering infrastructure, [1] so it doesn't count as a browser under Apple's rules. (Opera Mini for iOS has been discontinued.)

The lean FIRE people show that the bad part of losing a high income career is the hugely wasteful lifestyle that preceded it, not the career or it's loss.

Automatic sending wealth to capital instead of labor is another issue, perhaps better viewed as capital ownership being centralized as the actual problem.
^Z because it's otherwise ‘suspend’, so it doesn't conflict with active use of anything else. (Plus ^Z^Z to send ^Z.)

I haven't checked, but if multiplexers don't already use XTMODKEYS to allow more complicated prefixes, they should.

To be clear, I totally agree with you. I wasn't just arguing for changing labels, I was arguing that there is one set of "engineering" focused skills (e.g. building data pipelines, data warehouses, tagging events, etc.) and a different set of analysis skills (e.g. machine learning, statistical tests, etc.) and you shouldn't over-index on the latter without having enough of the former.
It's a metaphor for energy level. The amount of "spoons" someone has is their current energy level. No more "spoons" - no more energy.

The metaphor is a bit controversial nowadays, some people identify themselves as "spoonies". See this discussion.

Yes that's exactly what it is - a huge negative feedback loop!
It didn’t feel all that secure in March of last year.

And I mean, the MRNA vaccine seems pretty amazing that rollout began worldwide in less than a year from a novel coronavirus popping up. But the same people working in agriculture aren’t working on virus research. The market decides where to allocate resources, are you advocating for some sort of central planning in lieu of this? What would a different system look like that doesn’t have the major pitfalls that the Soviet government had, where strange things happened like nearly hunting whales to extinction because they needed to make the 1967 whale oil quota?
Agreeing with this comment 100%. For the record, I’m an atheist. You can cause your company into big trouble for discriminating based on religion, and like julienreska says it’s also counterproductive; you’re robbing yourself of potentially talented, good people.

Much better source - can the original link be updated on the submission?
A lot of people use religion for the community aspect of it, and branding themselves as "Jesus lover" is more about that rather than them being a strict follower of said religion and intolerant of differing opinions.

I would look past it and give the candidate a chance to prove themselves in an interview just like any other. If their resume shows a successful career at previous places, it's very likely they are able to separate religion and work thus their religious affiliation had no impact on their work.
A lot of dropbox use cases are impossible for Samba (among other things, shared dropbox folders became popular alternative to badly setup FTP servers in DTP-adjacent media companies).
Sweden has dramatically changed in the last 20 years and I would guess most here have the old homogenous Sweden in mind.

Like many other countries have had before (such as USA), we are now living with brutal gangs grouped together per ethnicity, except for native Swedes, Finns, and Sami people though. The worst of the new wave of robberies we call “humiliation robberies” (förnedringsrån, you can search with Google Translate) where the victim (mostly natives) is not only forced to withdraw from the ATM, but tortured, forced to undress, pissed upon, forced to say humiliating things, or raped (also men and boys).

The last of many examples to make headlines, where the perpetrators were found, was two young guys in Solna who were forced onto a church yard at night where they were beaten, raped, tortured and robbed. Mainstream media in Sweden does not publish details so I’ll link you one mainstream media article, and one independent blogger - again you might want to use a translation service to read it

Young Swedes today know where not to walk after dark in a way their parents never thought about.

If my personal account, the example, or a search into “förnedringsrån” isn’t what you’re looking for, please let me know! You are absolutely right to want to verify claims.

Privately I left Dropbox long ago when they stop supporting bit-by-bit comparison, and moved into chunk-by-chunk check. Found out hard way when detached VeryCrypt secure trunk and attached it day later on another machine. Started scratching my head what the heck. Upon checking, the file was not synced/uploaded and that's how I managed to discover their change.

Business-wise, it was a stuck forced update that made me drop them (pun intended). At some version it did not want to open anymore before update. Fine. The problem was that you could not download update; it was downloader you download and that downloader himself pick file over the internet to download. Problem is the folder and file name was always different causing my simplewall (best firewall I know for Windows 10) to block the file each single time. Before I had chance to fiddle with firewall settings - something I never like doing - I was already registered into lifetime 2TB offer with pCloud, including their "Cyrpto" package for $299 one-time. Never looked back. And also upload speeds I found much faster than DropBox. As of syncing... I think its decent enough. Never had problem. Although their local drive logic is tad different - you are mounting a remote drive which is not equally convenient like DropBox local folder, but at least pCloud does not check folder for changes non-stop.

Disclaimer: have nothing to do with pCloud as a company, just their happy client.
Keyword: track. As in the privacy concern of the government having direct insight into all your financial transactions.

Sure, they already have the opportunity to demand that information from Swedish commercial banks and other financial institutions, but it's not as convenient as the direct control they have with a centrally managed digital currency.

The really nice thing with fungible physical goods like paper currency or similar is they are not in any shape or form tied to my identity. That's a feature.
Good ole' Schrödinger's Backups. Backups both exist and don't exist until you try to restore them. :)

I have a few frequent flyers at work for "I accidentally deleted this file, corrupted this database, etc." that I end up appreciating for making me somewhat regularly pull files from backups.
Thanks! Still, no simple solution to do it quickly. Using additional tools needs some sort of technical knowledge.

Well, that is why I linked to NIH rather than one scientist's blog.

Myers is very outspoken in his rejection of the idea, but even as an amateur I can see rhetoric sleights of hand in his argumentation. An example:

These “layers” don’t exist! When my car malfunctions, I don’t get a horse

Bad comparison, a car did not evolve from a horse, there is no mechanism for it to have a previous "horse layer".

Myers seems to hate the idea so much and return to it so often and with so many damnations and so few citations that it actually decreases his credibility in my eyes.
I'm not quite sure what your first point is? Infamously, rich poor are on average thinner (the "poverty obesity" paradox).

I believe the leading hypothesis is that being rich absolves you of the stressors that make junk food attractive. Others are, as you mentioned, the ability to buy more expensive food with more nourishment/satiation per calorie ("protein leverage hypothesis"), or access to nature and refuge from pollution (it's certainly the rich people where I live who ride bicycles.).

Regardless, a poor person from 50 years ago couldn't buy the cheap sugary crap even if they wanted to.
I used Vivaldi for almost two years before switching back to Firefox. I loved the amount of customization you are able to do through the GUI.

I really wish Gecko / Quantum was an accessible and interesting alternative to Chromium.
That would work if you kept only backup version. That would be bad-what do you do in case of accidental record deletion or encryption malware detected after a backup?

That's oauth in the sense that if you login with your own login/pass, this will never be something they can force on you.

You raise a good point, but an email on a mailing list lets you reply to specific sentences/paragraphs. I guess the fairly unique value that twitter is adding here is going from the specific paragraph to see if there are any replies.

Maybe webmention needs the ability to reference parts of a page, although I guess you could do that by linking to an anchor.
